The brand-new production company, Bus-Stop Productions, invited me to a sneak preview a couple of months ago.  I loved the show and especially the performers who had been cast in Hollywood and seemed to outshine many in our local talent pool.  The show ran for several very successful months, sometimes selling out two performances per evening.  They recently decided to add more performances for the month of May but two of the original performers were not available so the producers reached out to some local actors and my fears arose. My fears were proven wrong in a big, big way!

On Saturday, March 11, 2023, I had the pleasure of experiencing one of my favorite annual theater traditions in seeing AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS 2023 at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT.  This annual event is a new series each year of original one act plays, mostly in the comedy genre, and always done extremely well by a very talented cast.  Seven total one acts were performed this year, with no intermission.  The prop and scene changes, during the blackouts, between each one act were smooth and efficient.  This was a packed house in an intimate setting.  The cast enters and exits through the center aisle of the audience.  The walls of stage left and stage right are visible to the audience.  Every audience member seemed to be highly entertained.
