With so much happening, I missed the chance to share a direct link to the digital edition of Press Play Salem: Spring 2026.
When I started this issue, I had one theme in mind, but as the stories came together, so did the theme — a completely different theme — and so I leaned into it.
Inside this issue, we give you your "Front Row Ticket" spotlighting Salem's spring theater season, from two shows at Pentacle to an inside look at high school theater to a new, ensemble-style, hyper-local show at Willamette Theatre, plus stories about running, tacos, and making with clay ... along with curated listings to help you plan the months ahead.
Your support helps us report these stories, design the magazine, and keep Press Play free for the community. Thank you for being part of what makes this work possible.
We hope you enjoy the Spring edition and everything happening around Salem this season.
