by Steve Sucato - May 4, 2026

by Alex Freeman - May 4, 2026


As New York prepares for the 2026 Tony Award nominations and honors the recent Lucille Lortel winners, producers are facing tough questions about whether traditional 8 PM curtain times are driving audiences away. The business landscape is shifting heavily behind the scenes, marked by the merger of licensing giants BMG and Concord, looming strike ballots in the West End, and the Kennedy Center's controversial two-year shutdown.

Review: HARVEY at Castle Craig Players
by Sean Fallon - May 3, 2026


On Saturday, May 2nd, I had the pleasure of seeing another first-rate production put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. It is always nice to see a high quality show I was not previously familiar with. HARVEY, by Mary Chase, has somehow eluded my previous theater experiences, which means I had been missing out on a high quality show! Director Pamela Amodio helps bring out the best in this highly talented ensemble cast! The performers include Jeff Liggett, Gina Marie Davies, Priscilla Arcamone, Holly Jodoin, Carolyn Doherty, Rich Guadiosi, David Macharelli, Rick Malone, Cindy Harris, and Nick Demetriades who all thrive as individuals and as a collective group of talented performers in bringing positive energy that makes this comedy come to life on stage! Their stage chemistry and stage presence create a truly enjoyable experience for all. Having originally been completed in 1944, this show remains entertaining more than eighty years later!
