As predictable as June Gloom. Between the first and the fifteenth of this month, few local theaters open a new show. Then, as if a starter's pistol goes off, everyone does, and suddenly t'is the summer season. Here's a list of openings - and yet another case for theaters to stagger first nights more than they do.
