On Saturday, October 10th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another quality show performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F.
In modern theater, it often feels like a risk to keep it simple and just let the cast take a script and run with it, but for the Town Players of Newtown, that decision is well justified and led to the creation of a delightfully entertaining production of The Importance of Being Earnest.
On Saturday, October 3rd, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal performance of one of my absolute favorite musicals of all-time, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, performed by Fairfield Center Stage at City Wide Church in Bridgeport, CT.

Most people have never heard of Comedian Harmonists, a group of six men who impressed the world with their sophisticated and harmonious voices from 1928 to 1934, during the rise of Nazi Germany.
'Having a blast” is the best way to describe the vibes inside the auditorium at TheatreWorks New Milford, and that is thanks in large part to the director, Diana Canova, who was the spearhead of this delightful evening at the theater!

Sometimes you get a perfect storm of circumstances that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.
If you are old enough to remember the disaster movies and the disco songs of the '70s, you'll love this show.
Over the weekend, female hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa co-headlined with r&b group TLC for the 'It's Iconic' tour at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.

The best thing about reviewing new works is that you can go into it with a clean slate.
The Summer Theatre Of New Canaan's production of MATILDA THE MUSICAL is a must-see or must-see again for all ages.
