-a note from the Executive Director-

Once again I am thrilled, pleased and honered to share an original new musical with our loyal audiences. One of the most exciting parts of my job here is reading new scripts and listening to new scores. It's even more exciting when the music and lyrics are as terrific as they are in The Klemperers' New Clothes!

Over the past 5 years, we have been able to introduce many fabulous new works to our patrons - The common thread? William Squier! Stamford's very own Bard. Bill has been a Godsend to our community. His works, with various collaborators, have graced our stages many times and all to great reviews. And besides being talented, he's a great guy! Thank you for bringing another great show (and Norman!) to our family!

-Lou Ursone
