Shanghaied in Astoria runs through September 11th at the Astor Street Opry Company Playhouse in Astoria. This locally written play is part-vaudeville, part-soap opera, and part 1950’s style Hollywood musical – all combined into a fun and entertaining look at traditional local cultural folklore. What originated as a celebration of Astoria tradition has now become a tradition itself and you won’t want to miss it! For more information: www.astorstreetoprycompany.com.
