Our summer 2020 plans have changed due to COVID-19.
We'll be presenting a series of performances featuring scenes and monologues from
our past productions as well as music from Shakespeare-inspired musicals like
West Side Story, Kiss Me Kate, The Boys from Syracuse and much more.
Director - Kevin Thompson
Music Director - George Croom

Final Performances:  July  31 & August 1, 2:  7:30pm each night,
at our Sterling Farms campus home,
1349 Newfield Avenue, the park opens for seating at 6:30pm daily.

SOCIALLY DISTANCED SEATING PROCEDURES - Summer 2020

Due to current safety protocols, ADVANCE RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.
We are following all State of Connecticut guidelines for seating which includes spacing groups 15 feet apart.
Total capacity will be about 125 vs our usual crowds of 350+

We will designate spaces, five feet square. (On a blanket, that's about 4 people comfortably; four standard folding chairs as well.)
Mark out that space and home to see if what you have will fit.
A minimum contribution is required for a reservation: $25 per person; $20 for Senior Citizens. 
Children under 21 attend free.
(Since we've had no production income since March and have processed more than $14,000 in refunds recently, any amount over $25 will be greatly appreciated.)

Our productions are presented on our very own, scaled-down version of the Globe Theatre Stage, though for 2020, our performances will be limited to scenes, monologues and songs.
