Word Plays at the Cabaret, Fort Salem Theater, Salem, NY

August 27, 2020
Word Plays at the Cabaret is currently on haitus due to the pandemic.

Word Plays at Proctors is starting its 14th season on Sept. 13, 2020 via Zoom.

Our Sixth Season: 2019

Sundays at 2:00 pm   $10 (at the door only, cash/check)

The new-old art of storytelling is a blend of theater, stand-up comedy, reminiscence around the campfire, folk research, history buzz, ancient myth and midnight confession. It's always fascinating and always a surprise.

Over a dozen performers will be telling during this season. At each Word Play, a different group of performers tell rarely heard contemporary and traditional stories celebrating the human spirit. You will discover that Word Plays is a shared experience between the audience and the performer, combining the intensity of a solo performer with the intimacy of a face-to-face conversation.

Each show has its own theme where each story told relates to that theme.
