TheatreWorks is working hard to create a safe environment for our artists and patrons. We have virtual staged readings coming soon and are planning our grand reopening this summer. Watch your email for an announcement soon.
The Fantasticks
Sept 16 - Oct 9 (4 weekends)
The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo's words that, "without a hurt, the heart is hollow."

A year ago we were reminiscing on Theatre we had seen and done already in 2020: James Rado in Mary Tierney’s “Love’n’Courage” at The Players; “An Evening Of One-Act Plays” by John Pielmeier, Steve Otfinoski, and David Masello at the National Arts Club; “Constellations” at Christine Pennisi Daley’s Theatreworks New Milford; “The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night” starring Tyler Nowakowski at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts; Meghan Pratt as the younger titular character in Hartford Stage’s Jane Eyre”; Tandy Cronyn in Staged Readings at The Lamb’s Club; Michael Tracy Assisting Costume Designer Liz Prince in Sarah Lawrence College’s “Head Over Heels”; Gina Russell Tracy’s “Potters Wheel” at Crystal Fields’ Theater for the New City; and parts of the many diverse performances in that Off-Off-Broadway landmark in the four weeks while we were rehearsing and performing the latter (though enjoying a full show wad impossible due to our own production schedule through January).
A year later our theatre experiences range from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” on Disney+; Robert Cuccioli & Kate Forbes in “A Touch Of The Poet” at Irish Repertory Theatre; Mary Tierney & Mary Ellen Ashley in “My Dinner With Mary” at Theater for the New City; the casts of “Avenue Q” featuring Rick Lyon, “The Wesf Wing” with Martin Sheen, and many others on Seth Rudetsky & James Wesley’s “Stars In The House”; New Play Readings at Karen Sternberg & David Ian Lee’s Pipeline-Collective Salon and Jocelyn Beard’s TW Playwrights Workshop Group; and many other virtual Zoom performances. And yet...
And yet the fabulous invalid of Broadway and its closest relatives Off- and Off-Off-Broadway and in National Tours and Regional Theatre along with dance, music and every other form of performance art will return - not all of it, sadly, as many shows and theatres have not survived a year in the wilderness, nor all of them, as many of those performers who had to leave will not or cannot return. But we will find a way to gather by that ancient fire to see a play, though our nights are dark, our days are cold, and our hopes seem frozen in underneath the snow. And if you will just assist us with your imagination, we’ll try to make this humble stage a place for celebration!

A warm congratulations to Matt Austin who has stepped down from the TW Board to join Sherman Players as their new Artistic Director! Matt's incredible creative talent and knowledge of theater will most certainly have a positive impact. BEST WISHES MATT, we will miss you!
Decided to go ahead and record "Pulled" from "The Addams Family Musical". I was lucky enough to be cast as Wednesday in the Theatreworks New Milford production that was set to open over the summer. It was of course postponed due to the pandemic. Here's hoping someday I'll get to perform this live onstage!
Recorded this live and used the mic for better sound quality. Enjoy!
