Attention! Shoplifter in Aisle Cinq!
Expect the unexpected.
Seriously Coward.
Strong performances highlight this production.
Better than a magic carpet ride
Theeeere's a plaaaaace for us.
The stage directions for the musical don't say that it should be performed at Music Theatre of Connecticut's 45-seat theater in Westport, but maybe they should.
Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!
Few popular novels have been as powerful about a subject as Harper Lee's 1960 novel, To Kill A Mockingbird.
Watch out for goblins bearing fruit.
Take one of his classic comedies, throw in a Fab Four group sort of like the Beatles and let Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong (AMERICAN IDIOT) write the music and presto: you have a modern, interesting show called THESE PAPER BULLETS.
Levy shows a wide arc of emotions as the character goes from educated woman in control of her life to someone not quite sure who to trust, including herself.
Singing 30 tunes popular in the era like 'Goldfinger,' 'Downtown,' To Sir with Love,' and the title song 'Shout,' the girls, identified only by colors that signify their personalities, try to embrace modern times while seeking the advice of columnist Gwendolyn Holmes
This tour is quite well done, with strong vocals for the leads.
Yoouuuuu can taaaake the A-Train, yooooou can take it all the way to Haaarlem.
This production, helmed by Paul Mullins, is delightful in every way, with wonderfully full portrayals, a fanciful set (designed by Joe Keener III) and costumes (designed by Tiffany Delligatti) that are to die for.
In Noel Coward's time, and when one of his last plays, A SONG AT TWILIGHT was written in 1966, it must have been shocking to have the possible outing of a closeted gay man be the driving force of a plot.
The suffering of others
Ropes become rooms and oceans, people become doors, gloves become birds and some very clever staging, directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers.
Make some noise for this raucous comedy!
Broad Brook's dishes up a CABARET with something old, something new, something borrowed and a dash of blue.
Once upon a time we could go to the theater and enjoy a play that made sense, challenged our thinking, moved our hearts and made us feel enlightened when the curtain fell.
A sweeping tale of friendship and devotion amidst the horrors of war combines with spectacular puppetry to bring Michael Morpurgo's children's novel WAR HORSE, to life on stage.
