Thom Christopher to Star in Adirondack Theatre Festival Production of A.R. Gurney’s "Black Tie"

Emmy Award-winning actor Thom Christopher (ONE LIFE TO LIVE; BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY) will star in A.R. Gurney’s comedy "Black Tie," kicking off the Adirondack Theatre Festival’s (ATF) 18th summer season of professional theatre June 26.

"Black Tie" is a recent Off‐Broadway hit comedy set in a Lake George Hotel on the eve of a family wedding. Christopher plays the father of the groom, who simply wants to make a memorable toast. But before he is able to raise his glass, he must defend time‐honored traditions of the past, including his formal attire. Cultures and generations clash when a surprise guest is announced, threatening to throw convention out the window. Balancing the standards of his late father and the needs of his future family may prove too messy for a black tie affair.
