Review: AN EVENING OF ONE-ACTS at Ridgefield Theater Barn

The good news is that almost all the seven short pieces (averaging 10 minutes each) in RTB’s 2023 menu of theatrical hor d'oeuvres justify their place in the program well enough. Nobody will leave hungry for diverting entertainment.  
Review: AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS 2023 at Ridgefield Theater Barn

On Saturday, March 11, 2023, I had the pleasure of experiencing one of my favorite annual theater traditions in seeing AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS 2023 at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT.  This annual event is a new series each year of original one act plays, mostly in the comedy genre, and always done extremely well by a very talented cast.  Seven total one acts were performed this year, with no intermission.  The prop and scene changes, during the blackouts, between each one act were smooth and efficient.  This was a packed house in an intimate setting.  The cast enters and exits through the center aisle of the audience.  The walls of stage left and stage right are visible to the audience.  Every audience member seemed to be highly entertained.

Armonk Players Present Staged Holiday Reading

Christmas Eve. New York City. A failed writer (Gregory Mangieri) and a struggling actress (Emily Tarpey) meet while looking at the famous holiday windows at Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf's, Lord & Taylor's and Macy's. The windows they've been viewing come alive and we get to see what they saw and more - amusingly irreverent views at what the characters in the windows think and do about their lives in the stories they find themselves in.
