Review: ‘Stage Kiss’ at TheatreWorks New Milford
New Milford, CT – The TheatreWork’s press packet describes ‘Stage Kiss’ as a highly theatrical, not-so-romantic comedy about two actors with a history who are thrown together as romantic leads in a forgotten 1930s melodrama. They quickly lose touch with reality as the story onstage follows them offstage. This is a charming tale about what…
Life is a Stage at TheatreWorks
Sarah Ruhl’s comedy Stage Kiss is witty farce about acting, a distorting hall of mirrors where the audience is constantly teased about who, and to what end, is the actor acting and to what degree they are acting.

Review: ‘I Do, I Do!’ at Theatreworks New Milford
Based on Jan de Hartog’s play “The Fourposter,” “I Do! I Do!” is a rare two-character musical. It follows the ups and downs of a marriage over a fifty-year period beginning in 1898. A virtue of the production that opened Friday night at TheatreWorks New Milford is that both Jonathan Jacobson and Carey Van Hollen…
Yes, we do love I Do! I Do!
TheatreWorks in New Milford features a stunning production of I Do! I Do!, that 1968 musical comedy which received seven Tony Award nominations— an unusual accomplishment for a play that features only two actors. In this case the two actors, Cary Van Hollen and Jonathan Jacobson, are not only believable, but can sing and dance with that…

“Dance of the Dead”
Oh, the plight of a young zombie who wants to hold onto his girlfriend and go back to high school so he can graduate. Yes, he’s different, basically due to decomposition, but in the grand scope of things does that really matter? After all, zombies are people too, aren’t they? Such is the premise of…
Don’t miss the fun at this campy musical running through Aug. 5 at TheatreWorks New Milford.
I’m a blast from the past. I’m a force for the future. A teen-age zombie, an acquired taste, Oxy-clear and toxic waste. I’m a blast, blast, blast — From the all too recent past! – Jonny in ‘Zombie Prom’ New Milford, CT – Matt Austin is a local actor (‘Boeing, Boeing,’ ‘Bell, Book & Candle,’)…
