Theater: ‘Young Frankenstein’
By
Leon Graham

TheatreWorks has always been adventurous. This New Milford, Conn., theater company, which casts only non-equity actors, has staged quality straight plays and charming musicals requiring small casts.

Stripper Musical More than Skin Deep

Theater: ‘The Full Monty’
By
C.B. Wismer

When considering “The Full Monty” now on stage at Warner Theatre in Torrington, one must begin with a very serious caution. Oh, sure … there’s the matter of tastefully handled male nudity. There’s the consideration of a few uses of the parlance employed by six unemployed Buffalo, N.Y. steel workers. And, of course, there’s the running sub-theme of male genitalia.
None of those is the point.

Music and McCourt at The Warner

Theater: ‘The Irish … and How They Got that Way’
By
C.B. Wismer

There are several “truisms” that can be deftly applied to theater and film.  “Not every idea is a good idea” may be an application that applies to the production of Frank McCourt’s “The Irish … and How They Got That Way,” the musical review with monologue mash-ups currently on stage at the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre in Torrington’s Warner Theatre complex.

The response of the audience to the Prologue of “Ragtime” at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck was a clear indication of what was about to happen over the ensuing three hours.  They didn’t clap politely.  They cheered.

Theater: ‘Proof’
By
Leon Graham

There are reasons that TheatreWorks in New Milford was chosen as Best Small Theater in Connecticut by Connecticut Magazine in 2017. This intimate, yet not too small, company is a true community theater that produces well -known plays with non-Equity casts. Most of its actors have theater educations or training, many appear regularly at other community-based venues, some act in small, Off-Off Broadway shows. All are assured on stage.

Theater: ‘A Doll’s House’
By
Emily Gates

There is the temptation to suggest, with the #Me Too movement in the headlines and an increased focus on gender inequality, that this is the perfect moment to stage “A Doll’s House.” In truth, there have been countless “perfect” moments for Henrik Ibsen’s play since it debuted in Denmark in 1879. The play’s consideration of marriage and a woman’s place within it were deeply shocking in the 19th century. More than a century later, though no longer shocking, the writing remains deeply insightful and thought provoking.
