It’s the height of the Great Depression (1933), and Peggy Sawyer (Kate Morton) leaves Allentown, Pennsylvania to fulfill her dreams of being a show girl in New York City.

On April 24, the day of Barbra Streisand’s 83rd birthday, Jenna will perform her show Me, Myself & Barbra, a special one night only event at the Westport Country Playhouse.

A Season of Laughter continues at the Westport Country Playhouse with Theatre People, a new adaptation of Ferenc Molnar’s 1924 three-act farce, Play at the Castle (Játék a kastélyban).

David Ives’s new version of Georges Feydeau’s farce, A Flea in Her Ear is an ambitious three-act play for any small theater, but the Brookfield Theatre more than rises to it. Named one of the greatest farces ever written, it takes a lot to mount the play. You need a stage large enough to accommodate a cast of 14 players and part of a set that turns.

Ted Tally’s Obie Award winning play, Terra Nova, tells the compelling story of the ill-fated British expedition based on facts and the letters and journals found on Captain Robert Scott’s frozen body. Briefly, in 1911-12, teams of five Englishmen and five Norwegians competed to get to the South Pole first. Five men did not return home.

Karen Zacarías’s Native Gardens is a 90-minute one-act that thrives at the proven winner Westport Country Playhouse. Directed with verve by JoAnn M. Hunter, Native Gardens is a funny but meaningful play about harmony in the neighborhood and in nature.

A.C.T. of CT  has announced that applications are now open for the 2025 Posthumous Prodigy Productions Fellowship Award, a prestigious initiative honoring the memory of the late Bryan Gallace of Southport, Connecticut.

BroadwayWorld.com had a lovely chat with Anna Holbrook who is co-starring in Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo at the Music Theatre of Connecticut.

There is no better time than now for Music Theatre of Connecticut’s production of Moon Over Buffalo. Or maybe playwright Ken Ludwig should have called it Loons Over Buffalo. This slapstick comedy is sidesplittingly funny about a fading stage couple who still dream of fame and fortune but are reduced to performing repertory in slumping venues.
