BWW Review: PETER AND THE STAR CATCHER at Ridgefield Theater Barn
by Sean Fallon - June 04, 2022
On Friday, June 3, I had the pleasure of seeing PETER AND THE STAR CATCHER at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT. This play with music was written by Rick Elise. This stellar cast’s talents come alive under the first-rate team of director Katherine Ray, assistant director Rae Janeil Sutherland and choreographer Sharon Houk. It is not a musical in the traditional sense, but the use of song is incorporated throughout, resembling a musical in certain parts. It is obvious that these cast members are having a wonderful time up on stage, bringing positive energy that radiates throughout the audience, with excellent stage chemistry between the cast.

BWW Review: QUEEN at Long Wharf Theatre
by Brooks Appelbaum - May 31, 2022
QUEEN, by Madhuri Shekar and playing at Long Wharf Theatre through June 5th, is a timely investigation of ideas that centers on women in STEM (who are underrepresented onstage as in life). Unfortunately, cryptic writing and a misguided set design lessen the impact that the production might have achieved. Still, QUEEN's premise and plot are intriguing.
