What did our critic think of WHODUNIT? AN IMPROVISED MURDER MYSTERY at Contemporary Theater Company?

Contemporary Theater Company (CTC) revisits the Prohibition Era with its enchanting, sumptuous production of William Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy, ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’

Katy Geraghty, who is currently in Into The Woods on Broadway as Little Red Riding Hood, is joining the cast of Shitzprobe on December 12th at 7:30pm at Asylum NYC to Improvise a Full Musical based on an audience suggestion of a title of a musical that doesn't exist!

Las obras de compositores europeos del periodo barroco integran el programa del Ciclo de Música Antigua que presentará la Coordinación Nacional de Música y Ópera (CNMO), del 20 de agosto al 11 de septiembre en el Salón de Recepciones del Museo Nacional de Arte (Munal), como parte de la estrategia #VolverAVerte de la Secretaría de Cultura del Gobierno de México y del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (Inbal). 

The Contemporary Theater Company has crafted a compelling outdoor production that is visually stunning, packed with beautiful musical motifs, and full of powerful performances.

The Contemporary Theater Company has mounted a dazzling production of Shakespeare's tale of tragic retribution, with an outstanding cast, deft and innovative direction, and a stunning set. Get thee to Wakefield, and quickly, too, to see this brilliant show.

There are few musicals with as prominent a place in the American theatrical canon as 'Gypsy'*. It's a big musical, meant for a proscenium stage, and while the Contemporary has mounted a creditable production, their attempt to fit it into a smaller theatre has not been entirely successful.
