Legendary outdoor theater company hopes to drag audiences back with ‘Kinky Boots’ T he Mountain Play has staged performances atop Mount Tamalpais for the past 110 years. It’s an incredible run. Few community theater groups can boast such longevity. So what is it that accounts for such success? Perhaps it’s the talented performers and professional productions. Or it could be the secluded forest setting with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Or maybe it’s the stunning Greek-style amphitheater. One suspects it’s all of the above. Past year’s productions include the Broadway favorites— Fiddler on the Roof, Grease and Hairspray to name a few. The award-winning musical Kinky Boots , written by Harvey Fierstein with music by Cyndi Lauper, is scheduled for four performances in June. By Bo Kearns
