Sacred Heart University Community Theatre Presents Hartford Whalers Author Patrick Pickens '07
by BWW News Desk - May 16, 2022
More than 25 years after departing Hartford for Raleigh, NC, the NHL's Whalers continue to inspire passion among fans. And Whalers devotees aren't just clamoring for still-popular jerseys, hats and T-shirts. They're nostalgic for a team that had New England roots for nearly 25 years—in Boston, Springfield and Hartford—and featured some of the greatest players in NHL history, including Gordie Howe (with his sons Mark and Marty), Bobby Hull and Ron Francis.

BWW Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Castle Craig Players
by Sean Fallon - May 14, 2022
On Friday, May 13th, I saw a play I was previously not familiar with. VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE was performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. This is a modern (about ten years ago) play written by controversial playwright Christopher Durang. The genres encompassed include dark drama, dark comedy, and even a political rant. The audience reactions throughout the show suggest that they truly enjoyed the show. While the show certainly has comedic elements, I feel that this show can be best appreciated if audience members come to the show expecting to see what is more of a very dark and twisted drama than a comedy, as I feel that drama is the more dominant genre in this show.
