After months of virtual performances, SALT premiered SALT Beyond The Walls on June 12, 2020, with Broadway Showstoppers. For two more summer weekends, different groups of SALT performers have sung songs around a different theme.

“We conclude our summer series this Friday and Saturday with two lineups of some of the strongest, most beautiful voices you’ve ever heard performing songs celebrating all genres of movies such as a Bond medley, Moon River, Rainbow Connection and Mrs. Robinson, to name a few. The last three weekends have sold out with enthusiastic audiences that are so appreciative of the COVID friendly atmosphere of a drive-in. Concert-goers have been honking and turning on their windshield wipers instead of applause, which is so much fun!” comments Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “In addition, we encourage our patrons to pick up takeout from their favorite eateries in hopes to help out our friends at local establishments, too.”
SALT performers for August 14 are: Zach Reynolds, Gabe Rottman, Drew Kalkiewicz, Savi Bell, Elizabeth Quay, Heather Kalkiewicz, Elliot Colahan, Shelagh Kratz, Stephen Fisher, Grace Halsey, Liz Robertson, Gaby Robino, Sami Uggla, Daniel Isajiw, Hannah Cohen, & Bailey Straub.

Since the quarantine began, in lieu of live performances, SALT hosted the weekly Cooped Up Cabaret, a “live” premiere of SALT performers singing songs that had been chosen earlier in the week via a poll on which SALT followers voted. Friday, June 12, was the first time SALT was able to showcase its talent live for an audience again.
