“Thrown Stones’s mission statement includes that they “honor and celebrate local character, culture, and history.” And, they strive “to engage our region with new and reimagined theatre in intimate settings, creating a body of work that moves, connects, and challenges all who join the conversation.” This production certainly embodied these values.”

“James Ijames’ play is brilliantly written, entertaining, and emotionally persuasive.”

“I entered the historic Town Hall Theatre in Irvington, fully anticipating that this show would be great fun, especially with the maestro George Croom at the helm.  I’m thrilled to report that the Clocktower Players’ production exceeded all expectations!“

“This provocative play certainly gives one lots of food for thought, even if you don’t bite the apple. The witty dialogue and modern quips will keep you entertained, and you’ll learn a thing or two about what God is thinking.”

“Under the proficient eye, of Director, Margarett Perry, the interactions and relationships are powerfully, thoughtfully, and subtly acted by this terrific cast of four. The play is beautifully staged and with spot-on timing.”

The Penguin Repertory Theatre has done it again! Mr. Parker, a stunning new work by accomplished playwright, Michael McKeever, is an amusing, heartfelt and emotionally astute look at love, loss and the struggles of facing an uncertain future.

The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival has done it again and this time with music.  Now in its 33rd Summer season, the company presents its first-ever musical. This aesthetically modernized version of “Into the Woods” by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, is an unusually unique romp into the woods realized by the dazzlingly creative mind of director, Jenn Thompson.  She unleashes us into a world of imaginative umbrellas, popcorn, puppets and recyclable cows, all used to tell her version of this well loved and occasionally overdone musical in our community.  

Living In these disturbing times, in a country filled with division, it is heartwarming to let go and enjoy this delightful romantic comedy. Happily, there is renewed hope that love can truly bring together the most unlikely of people. The world premiere of Cary Gitter’s play, The Sabbath Girl, Is now on stage at Penguin Rep Theatre. Described as “a contemporary romantic comedy with heart about the loneliness of big-city life and the possibility of finding love at work or even next door.”

Go see this novel interpretation of this classic tale about a man’s struggle to replace vanity, pride, and ignorance with grace, humility and intelligence.  It is an ironic anecdote of missed opportunities, it reminds us that, after all, beauty is only skin deep.  

The riveting one-man show, “Kennedy: Bobby’s Last Crusade”, written and performed by David Arrow is the current offering at The Penguin Theatre.  A perfect venue for this intimate portrait of the young politician driven by conscience and compassion.

The final offering of The Schoolhouse Theater’s 34th season is Gladstone Hollow, a mesmerizing, haunting play, written by and starring two-time Emmy award winner, Dorothy Lyman.
