Classic Musical 'The Pajama Game' At New Salem

Lincoln New Salem's Theatre in the Park Facebook page

There's more than one venue in the Springfield area to see a show while enjoying some time outdoors. New Salem's Theatre in the Park is bringing back a musical celebrating its 60th anniversary. The Pajama Game follows the story of a pajama factory going through labor disputes, and an unlikely romance that transpires there.

We recently spoke with the two lead actors, Becky Bertram and Mark Wheeler, as well as director Sean VanAusdall-Rose.
