On Saturday, April 25th, at 12:00 PM, I saw the newest Theatre for Young Audiences production at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. The Theatre for Young Audiences shows at Downtown Cabaret Theatre continue to entertain the entire family! This one breaks the fourth wall in numerous ways, even encouraging the youth to audition to dance in the aisle during one part of the show, which got numerous children up and dancing, many of which may become future performers. The story is written by Robert Peterpaul and directed by Ashley DePascale, putting two of the Downtown Cabaret Theatre’s greatest stage performers behind the scenes, as other stars, both new and returning get to shine on stage.
On Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 2:30 pm, I had the pleasure of seeing another first-rate performance at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT, SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN SHOPKEEPERS.
