Green (Sister Act, Spelling Bee), Chris Hoch (Spamalot, Shrek), and Harriett D. Foy (Mamma Mia!)

Catholic dogma might not rule the life of 12-year-old Rudy Pazinski, who to the horror of his parents and teacher-nun announces his decision to forgo Confirmation while he shops around for a religion, but Over the Tavern, Tom Dudzick's play opening the 21st season for Seven Angels Theater in Waterbury definitely is a good work with outstanding performances by the young people starring in it.

This one night only cabaret will be held on Friday August 19th at the Gershman Y in Center City, Philadelphia. It will feature Aaron Catano, Shannon Remley, Sarah Spangenberg and Matthew Dean Stewart who make up the cast of the upcoming Philadelphia premiere of 'The Immigrant: A New American Musical.'

REVIEW: The musical The Immigrant opened last weekend at Fell's Point Corner Theatre, and runs through June 8.

With a small stage, simple yet effective settings and props, and a small cast of four The Immigrant is not your usual musical. Overall The Immigrant is an enjoyable new show, filled with authenticity, laughter, and a talented group of actors...
