Hubby and I made the best use of a rainy afternoon with a trip to Watertown to see the Flat Earth Theatre production of  "Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson.  I always enjoy seeing other theaters and folks I know from Theatre@First in a different setting.  The play was performed on a simple yet elegant set in a black box theater with 80 seats in 5 ( Read more... )

Do you need a laugh? or a lot of laughs? Seems like we all do these days!

I have just the thing - Theatre@First, the community theater I have fun with in Somerville, is presenting Moliere’s madcap comedy “Tartuffe” this weekend and next. Pop over to Davis Square for a meal in a funky restaurant, then make your way to a church basement turned into a ( Read more... )

Have you been to the North Shore Music Theatre?  You should go!

GO SEE THE BALTIMORE WALTZ?!

Forgive me while I gush...

We have an incredible theater company!  I hope you knew that already.  I knew, but it was driven home in a whole new way last night at fabulous opening night for "The Baltimore Waltz."  They crossed new frontiers in directing, acting, in projection, in integrating music and sound, in lighting ( Read more... )
