A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS Coming to The Wilton Playshop

By: BWW News Desk Nov. 22, 2016

The Wilton Playshop will present Charles Schulz's A Charlie Brown Christmas, directed by John Atkin.

Based on the television special by Bill Melendez and Lee Medelson, this holiday favorite was adapted for the stage by Eric Schaeffer. Musical direction is by Ben McCormack with choreography by Wilton's Conservatory of Dance owner Chris Titus.

When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When his attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas tree fails, Linus helps him learn the true meaning of Christmas.

Recommended for children of all ages. Approximate running time is 40 minutes.

Performances: December 9 at 7:30pm, December 10 & 11 at 2pm and 4pm. Tickets: $20/adults, $10/Ages 10 and under. Buy tickets here. For more information, visit www.wiltonplayshop.org.

Review: THE 39 STEPS at Castle Craig Players

On Friday, May 3rd, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another first-rate production by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT! This stellar cast keeps the audience entertained with their excellent stage presence, stage chemistry, and positive energy, as this intriguing story unfolds, THE 39 STEPS. Director Todd Santa Maria helps bring out the best in this phenomenal cast featuring Matthew Griffiths, Angelina D’Albero, Matt Monitto, and Gabriel Sousa. I was not previously familiar with this show, but seeing it performed by this cast, I feel as if they elevated it to heights that were never reached before! This casts’ delivery, mannerisms, and comedic timing shine through in ways far superior to that which could be detailed or explained in a script. The constant laughter and applause from this lively packed house strongly suggests that the rest of the audience tremendously enjoyed this show, as I did!
