Chronicle Staff Last year, the Blyth Summer Festival‘s seven performances at the UW Humanities Theatre set box office records. Back this year with the Tomorrow Box, what director Janet Amos calls "a play of the times," the theatre company is hoping to equal their overwhelming success. ‘*I don‘t know whether it was the play or the theatre.
