Run don’t walk to see TheatreWorks’ Proof. This is one you do not want to miss!
He Said: Consider the following proof which succinctly states the quintessence of this review: TWP = TaIB For those of you non-mathematicians (or rather acronymologists to be more precise), the lay translation is the following: TheatreWorks’ Proof is Theatre at Its Best! Proof is a brilliantly executed play where all the parts – casting, acting, direction, set design…

Proof is in the Acting at TheatreWorks!
David Auburn’s Proof (2000) ran for two-and-a-half years on Broadway, winning the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. At New Milford’s TheatreWorks the acting and direction by Frank Arcaro rivals the Broadway production. In two acts, each with four scenes, on a single, magnificent set, the pacing, gestures, and blocking appear so…
‘Stage Kiss’ hits you right in the kisser
Who hasn’t wondered if actors who kiss on stage are not moved by the physical act? Playwright Sarah Ruhl delves into this question with plenty of humor but also with a twist in her play within-a-play-within-a-play. That’s right, there are two plays within this play. Under the astute direction of Nina Agostine Smith, there’s no…
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. It is about marriage, romance, affairs, and identity in a profession that sometimes has exotic demands: “What a strange…
A Review: “I Do, I Do”
Welcome to the world of “I Do, I Do,” that popular 1966 Tom Jones/Harvey Schmidt Broadway musical that takes its cue from the 1951 play, “The Fourposter,” written by Dutch playwright Jan de Hartog and lovingly chronicles the married life of Agnes and Michael from 1895 to 1945 in ways that will make your heart skip a beat or two…

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…
