K and E Theater Group Presents Promises, Promises at
Northampton Center for the Arts, October 17-19, 2024
K and E Theater Group is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of the beloved musical Promises, Promises, set to light up the stage, October 11-13 and 17-19, 2024. Audiences are invited to experience the wit, charm, and unforgettable music of this classic show, which promises to be a highlight of the theater season.
Based on Billy Wilder's acclaimed film The Apartment, Promises, Promises features a book by Neil Simon, music by Burt Bacharach, and lyrics by Hal David. The show first dazzled Broadway in 1968, earning critical acclaim and multiple Tony Awards, with a celebrated revival in 2010 starring Tony Award Winners Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth. Now, K and E Theater Group is bringing this timeless story of ambition, romance, and the complexities of office life to local audiences with a fresh and dynamic production.
Promises, Promises follows Chuck Baxter, a charming but lonely employee at a large insurance company who lends his apartment to his superiors for their extramarital affairs in hopes of climbing the corporate ladder. The show’s score includes unforgettable hits like “Say A Little Prayer,” “A House is Not a Home,” “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again”, and the title song “Promises, Promises.”
K and E Theater Group's production of Promises, Promises is led by Casey Dion as Chuck Baxter and Shealyn Berube as Fran Kubelik, and features Joshua Aaron Mason as J.D. Sheldrake, Myka Plunkett as Marge MacDougall/Mrs. Sheldrake, Gene Choquette as Dr. Dreyfuss, Aileen Merino Terzi as Miss Olson/Sylvia, Renee Bouldin as Mrs. Wong, Sadie Kennedy as Miss Della Hoya, Amanda Urquhart Tilghman as Miss Polanski, Henry DiNapoli as Mr. Kirkeby, Andre Ruiz as Mr. Eichelberger, Chris Webber as Mr. Dobitch, and David Webber as Mr. Vanderhof/ Karl.

MAJESTIC THEATER ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 27th SEASON
West Springfield’s Majestic Theater has announced the lineup for its 27th season. Producing Director Danny Eaton will present a five-play season that incorporates a mix of classic and original works featuring music, comedy and drama.
First up is Shear Madness (September 5 – October 20) by Paul Portner. Shear Madness has been acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World records as the longest running non-musical play in American theater history. It ran for over 40 years in Boston. It’s a day like any other in the local Shear Madness Salon until suddenly the lady who lives upstairs gets knocked off. In this “Whodunit” farce, the Majestic audience will have to match wits with the suspects to catch a killer in this record breaking and interactive solve-the-crime comedy.
Shear Madness will be directed by Bob Lohrmann. Producing director is Danny Eaton, and Sue Dziura is Associate producing director. Production stage manager is Stephen Petit, Aurora Ferraro is Associate production manager, Dan Rist is set and lighting designer, and Dawn McKay is costume designer. Cast members include Benita Zahn (Mrs. Shubert), Jeff Haffner (Nick), Jack Grigoli (Eddie), Elizabeth Pietrangelo (Barbara), Steve Sands (Tony) and Michael DeVito Mikey).
Subscriptions to the five-play series will be accepted through October 20, but single tickets are now being sold to all five plays. Prices for single tickets for the plays range from $35 to $38.
Doors to the theater will open one hour before the start of a show, which is also when the café opens. For more information, visit www.majestictheater.com
