Possibly the greatest American play ever written, the story follows the small town of Grover’s Corners through three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity,” narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets. Audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. Thornton Wilder’s tribute to small town life amplifies The Lyceum’s location in one of America’s smallest towns. www.lyceumtheatre.org/occasion/thornton-wilders-our-town DRAMA RATED PG This production may not hold the interest of younger audience members. Recommended for ages 13 and up. All children must have a ticket. Children under age 4 not permitted. Our Town is presented through special arrangement with the Estate of Thornton Wilder.

A Missouri Professional Premiere! Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again. Book your passage now for the fast-moving, powerfully theatrical locomotive that is the first ever stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. MURDER MYSTERY RATED PG This production is recommended for ages 12 and up due to simulated smoking, violence and adult themes.

A private eye, John Beckett, and a woman in a burgundy dress lock eyes five feet away from me in the dimly lit cabaret. She introduces herself as Vivian but he calls her Effie, suspecting she might be somebody he met a while ago. She looks troubled. He glares with the excitement of a person whose work is driven by passion, not money… Read more… Read More

A New Festival Shows Off Creators Ready to Launch

If the eclectic clutch of productions in its first week is any indication, the Rave Theater Festival is off to a promising start. A variety of worlds — from a British ship of pilgrims to a maze populated with competing detectives — have been unfolding inside the neo-Gothic walls of a former school on the Lower East Side. Those worlds, and many others, are part of the first Rave Theater Festival, running through Aug. 25 at the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center. It is the brainchild of the Tony Award-winning impresario Ken Davenport, who noticed festivals disappearing as the physical space for productions in New York became more limited.

Rave Theater Festival Review: Noirtown. Immersive Bogarting

It was uncanny how much “Noirtown” made me feel as if I was living inside a film noir classic like “The Maltese Falcon” or “The Big Sleep” – stylish, seductive, tough-talking and unfathomable. For much of the time, I didn’t know what the hell was going on. “Noirtown” opened the inaugural Rave Theater Festival, which is presenting some 20 new works from August 9th through August 25th in a single building, The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center at 107 Suffolk Street on the Lower East Side. “Noirtown” unfolds on the second floor of the building, in Teatro Latea, a space with three rooms (two of them usually used as the backstage), two hallways, and a shallow mirrored alcove. This is an important detail, since the show, a production of a two-year-old immersive theater company called Witness, requires audience members to choose which characters to follow from room to room. As with the classic film noir, “Noirtown” begins in mystery, but also something close to clarity. Read more in https://newyorktheater.me… Read More

SRT co-founder Dennis Jones has returned to direct and design this production. He has created an atmospheric set enveloped in fog, with dogs baying and ominous howling winds. Modular sets representing trains, railroad stations and a gloomy mansion with moving walls add to the fun. Read full article in uniondemocrat.com/lifestyle…. Read More
