“Bob created and sustained a unique regional theater company that allied well known industry professionals with high school and college students to provide a training ground for young local artists while maintaining Broadway-caliber performance and production standards,” she continued. “My goal is to continue that fine tradition while taking this opportunity of reflection we have all had to expand and build upon his heritage.”
This year's live performances will kick off on September 24 with "Musical Theatre at Herter,” a combination cabaret and open mike night to be held at the Christian Herter Park amphitheater in Allston.
