On Thursday, the Schenectady theater announced new dates for eight postponed productions from two seasons of its Key Private Bank Broadway series, both of which were interrupted by the pandemic.
The return will kick off with “Summer – The Donna Summer Musical,” from Dec. 7-12. It’s a late start for the Broadway series, which usually runs from fall to spring. However, delaying it will be a good thing, according to Proctors Collaborative CEO Philip Morris.
