Last night was an outstanding experience in CT Theater. Jane Gnazzo and my self went to the exciting Drama Works Theatre headed by owner of producer of and for this show , the Director. It was directed brilliantly in its' harsh simplicity. The 4 actors were just sensational. We went to see Alicia James starring in Two Rooms by Lee Blessing. There were 4 actors and their talent was striking - NY talent caliber. You will be drawn in and to the edge of your seat throughout! There just aren't enough Braves and Bravos! What an ensemble of brilliance! Theater at its' highest🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭👏👏👏👏👏 Pictured: from left: Alicia James, Joyce Beauvais, Ed Wilhelms and Jane Gnazzo.

A magical memory of our awesome Cast of See How They Run last summer in Theater Under the Shell. What a special show and now most of our actors have spread their wings to fill the pause with TUTS (back with a bang next summer) We just enjoyed our BARARA Barbara J. Bloemink in Flock Theater's Jane Eyre. Next up - Jimmy Abrams in Hole in the Wall Theater, next Rich Springman at the Granite Theater! Also ready to standing O for my Ivoryton Players new pieces written by our Laura Thoma and Terry Fogle and performing Ellen Atwood at Drama Works Theatre. Proud Mama - seeing these wonderful actors and playwrights thriving and soaring. Enjoy this pic from last year.
