(2/18/2020) - On February 21st, TheatreWorks New Milford will open Nick Payne's two-character love story, Constellations. This seemingly simple boy- meets-girl tale is spun into what seems like an infinite loop of 'might-have-been' alternatives which will bedazzle the audience in more ways than one. Note: Due to adult situations and language, it is not recommended for children.Photo Flash: First Look at SPAMTOWN, USA by BWW News Desk - Minneapolis / St. Paul
(2/18/2020) - Children's Theatre Company (CTC) will present the world premiere production of Spamtown, USA, running February 16, 2020 through April 5, 2020, written by Philip Dawkins and directed by Will Davis. The playwright met with and interviewed 25 people who were children in the city of Austin, Minnesota during the P-9 Strike against Hormel in the 1980s to gather their stories and perspectives. The play explores how pivotal events that occurred during the strike affected relationships inside and between three families. While five kids dream of space camp, tennis teams, and out-of-state college, they find their families and community suddenly divided by picket lines and opposing agendas. This is the story of having the strength to stand up for what you believe in, the challenge that comes in disagreeing with those you love, and the humor that helps keep friendships alive.Photo Flash: Eden Espinosa UNPLUGGED AND UNPLANNED In Residence At The Green Room 42 by Stephen Mosher - Cabaret
