A summer theater sampler: Tried, true, silly and shrewd

Excerpt from the Atlanta Journal Constitution

Serenbe Playhouse. This bucolic boutique destination on the southside offers fine dining, a stylishly secluded inn and a tony mix of shops, galleries, a spa and a sweet shop. Now you can stay and catch a show.  Brian Clowdus, founder and director of the theater in Palmetto, is using the pristine natural setting for an inaugural season that includes a family-appropriate “Jungle Book” (June 11-July 17); the contemporary two-person musical “John & Jen” (June 25-July 4) and an all-male telling of “Shakespeare’s R & J” (July 16-25). “People don’t really do theater outside anymore,” says Clowdus, an enterprising and adventurous University of South Carolina grad student.  “I love the idea that crickets and frogs kind of become your soundscape and you get to look up at the stars.” 1-800-838-3006, serenbeplayhouse.com
