Show Dates: July 29, 30, 31 and August 4, 5 & 6, 2022
 
We are excited to be producing this original musical comedy by Connecticut writer Roy O’Neil.  The show is set in Waterbury Connecticut.  It is the story of Eddie and his band, a one hit wonder from the 1960s, who 30 years later try to save the Palace Theater where the band got both its start and its name.  It’s a roller coaster ride of emotional moments with endearing songs to make you sing and dance, and a crew of corrupt politicians who will make you laugh till you cry.  To learn more about the show visit https://eddieandthepalaceades.com/home.

Meteor Night! is a night of SIX one-act plays that are written just twenty-four hours before they are to be performed. The co-producers, Corey Mason and Scott Stephen Kegler, bring six local playwrights, six local directors, and six casts all together for one night of fresh entertainment. The casts work with their directors on a new script the day of the show and rehearse right up until the house opens. The audience will be the first to ever see these brand new works and be a part of something truly magical. Blink and you will miss it!

If you are available the evening on Friday, June 10th and all day and night on Saturday, June 11th and want to participate as an actor for Meteor Night!, please sign up here.
