RagtimeFavorite Stories:
- BWW Interviews: GENEVA CARR - Geneva's background is so different from other performers. She was a Wall Street shark for quite some time before deciding that she was meant to act. She started late, but you would think she was acting her entire life.
- An Iliad at Long Wharf Theatre - I'm not a fan of the original book, but this production blew me away, especially with Rachel Christopher's narration of a story that has contemporary parallels. She has incredible stage presence and even studied ancient Greek long before the show. She is also a student of Taekwando, so she can kicka** on and off the stage.
- BWW Interview: Christine Scarfuto in New Haven - I like to interview the unsung heroes of theater. Christine is a dramaturg. I never knew there was such a job. Listening to a dramaturg talk about a play is truly enlightening because you learn so much about the background of the playwright and the times in which the play was written.
- BWW Interview: Ali Stroker On AN EVENING WITH ALI STROKER at Westport Country Playhouse - Ali overcame a devasting accident that left her paralyzed when she was a toddler. That didn't stop her from pursuing her dreams. She broke a glass ceiling for people with disabilities. Big mouth that I am, I told her that she should do Shakespeare and mentioned that I saw Darius de Hass in Twelfth Night in wheelchair after he injured his Achilles tendon. She seemed hesitant, but then she performed in Shakespeare in The Park. I was delighted when I saw her on Only Murders in the Building.
- Previews: SOMETHING ROTTEN! at Westhill High School - I knew Something Rotten! was not going to be your average high school show because it was produced by Stamford All-Schools Musicals. The directors, choreographers, costume designers, and set designers are all professionals and the student talent is incredible. All of them have had some stage experience and some have pursued professional careers. I knew this production would be good, but when I saw it, I was flabbergasted. I'd seen the show before at a community theater, but it was forgettable. This production was absolutely amazing.

BWW Interview: Beau Gravitte at Ridgefield Playhouse

September 2, 2016
Connecticut has almost an embarrassment of riches when it comes to seasoned performers who settle here while still finding opportunities to act close to home as well as in New York and Hollywood. One of our favorite couples is Beau and Debbie Gravitte (nee Shapiro), who add so much professionally to venues such as The Ridgefield Playhouse. If you are not from Connecticut, you ought to understand that The Ridgefield Playhouse is one of those places that are very special to performers as well as audiences. It is not a glorified school auditorium, but a professional venue with seating up to 500 people for film, theatre, and concerts with appearances from nationally popular, award winning performers and directors. The Gravittes' unwavering commitment to the playhouse and to the Ridgefield area is remarkable.

BWW Interview: THE BIKINIS Creators, James Hindman and Ray Roderick

Girl group revue is back by popular demand. Two years ago, the Long Wharf Theatre offered a blast from the past with The Bikinis, James Hindman and Ray Roderick's breezy jukebox revue of '60s and '70s music. The show was loosely based on a true story about senior residents in Florida, who were being pressured to sell their mobile homes to a developer. Instead of a knight in shining armor, a girl group of four women who call themselves The Bikinis come to star in a fundraiser to help the residents pay for their legal fees. This revue, now back at the Long Wharf by popular demand, has a clear narrative that so many people can relate to today, even if they are not retirees who live in a resort.
