The Ridgefield Theater Barn is bringing back their ever-popular summer workshop series with the original show Kids on Broadway.

Ridgefield Theater Barn will present Live from Ballard Park: A concert of light and love for the community Thursday, September 17th at 7 pm! 

The Ridgefield Theater Barn has announced the new leadership and creative team for the Theater Barn Kids' program.

On Friday, January 31, 2020, I had the pleasure of seeing SMORGASBORD! at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT.  This musical revue has music and lyrics by Bradford Blake who is also directs the show.  Under the excellent accompaniment of musical director Charles Smith on keyboard, Charles Casimiro on stand-up bass, and Robert Kogut on percussion, the talented singing cast of Anya Caravella, Robert Geils, Tracey Marble, and Zachery Theis provide a highly entertaining show comprised of song after song, each conveying its own story, without a central storyline, the songs linked only by the consistent pattern of comical food-themed lyrics.

If what you know about 'Cabaret' is informed by the classic 1972 movie which made Liza Minnelli a superstar, you owe yourself to see the Tony-winning musical stage version like the one at community-based Sherman Playhouse. Director Bradford Blake, inspired by London's Donmar Warehouse 1993 revival which made it to Studio54 in 1998, creates a solid, engaging production that is both faithful to the cautionary theme of the original Broadway production and authentic to the raw and seedy world of the decadent Kit Kat Klub, Berlin 1931.

The Sherman Playhouse will be producing Cabaret opening with a half price preview Thursday Sept. 19 and running regular performances Sept. 20, 21, 27, 28, 29 (Matinee) Oct. 4, 5, 6 (Matinee) 11, and 12.  Curtain opens at 8 for evening performances and 2 pm for matinees.

Nothing says live like things not going according to plan. After all, live is what gives theater its magic. Luckily, sometimes performances don't go according to plan but it's the professionality dedication of the cast and crew that brings it all back together.
