The Adirondack Theatre Festival, a professional theater group based at the Charles R. Wood Theater in Glens Falls, unveiled its 30th anniversary season at a pep rally-style kickoff Saturday night.

ATF told the audience which comedies, dramas and musicals they’ll stage this summer. They announced production of a new play based on “The Last American Newspaper,” a book written by Ken Tingley, a former managing editor of The Post-Star. Tingley’s book addresses the challenges facing newspapers across America and recounts many of the biggest Glens Falls-area stories of the past 30 years as reported by The Post-Star writers.

“The Last American Newspaper” will be staged at The Wood Theater in the summer of 2025.
