Just Do the Right Thing: David Girolmo on Portraying the Mayor of Gander

by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold — Jul 28, 2026

“The people of Gander did what they needed to do in the circumstances.  They were not the kind of people to turn their backs on others in need. I think COME FROM AWAY is important for all of us to see; it helps us remember that kindness exists in the world and we can be that for people we meet along the way.” Actor David Girolmo is talking about undertaking a role debut as Claude Elliott, the Mayor of Gander, Newfoundland, in the Tony award-winning musical COME FROM AWAY which will close out the MSMT season, running from August 5-22, 2026.

Review: 1776 at Musicals At Richter

by Sean Fallon — Jul 12, 2026

On Saturday, July 11th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another phenomenal production at Musicals at Richter, in Danbury, 1776. Seeing this show at this outdoor venue on a clear night is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Robert Bria designed the set, which primarily depicts the inside of Independence Hall. Director David Halliwell, music director Andrew Gadwah, and choreographer Emma Kelly help bring out the best in this stellar cast! The stage chemistry and stage presence of this cast is so strong that the audience can easily forget that we are not watching an actual debate. I had never seen this show before and was quite impressed by how it draws the audience right in and consistently holds our attention. It was clear that the entire cast had fun performing.
