As they prepare to host a dinner for their daughter Wednesday’s new boyfriend and his “normal” family, hilarity and chaos ensue, forcing the iconic Addamses to confront their eccentricities and discover the true meaning of family. With a spectacularly spooky combination of witty humor, catchy songs, and heartwarming moments, this delightful musical explores themes of love, acceptance, and the beauty of being uniquely different.  “We are proud to welcome you to our first musical back at Mount Holyoke College in five years. Full of catchy tunes, sharp choreography, and lots of heart, we hope you’ll join the family and learn how to shoot a crossbow, tango, and fall in love with the darkness of the Addams.” - Director, Noah Ilya-Alexis Tuleja  This production is directed by Tuleja, Chair of the Department of Film Media Theater, with set design by Vannessa James, costume design by Jensen Glick, and lighting and sound design by Sam Skynner.  Tickets: $20 General | $15 Students and Senior Citizens | Group Rates Available  For more information or to reserve tickets, please visit mhc.ludus.com or contact our box office at PerformingArts@mtholyoke.edu. Galileo’s Daughter A co-production of WAM Theatre and Central Square Theater Written by Jessica Dickey Directed by Reena Dutt at the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre Shakespeare & Company,  70 Kemble St, Lenox, MA     Previews: Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19 at 7pm Opening/Press Night: Sunday October 20, at 2pm Berkshire Closing: Sunday November 3 at 2pm Tickets: $25 - $100: Friend: $25 Standard: $55 Supporter: $100 Central Square Theatre: November 14 - December 8, 2024 Rattled by a personal crisis, a playwright flees to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his eldest daughter Maria Celeste. Caught up in the threats against her father, Maria must abandon her work and join a convent. The writer’s discovery of Maria’s strength and tenacity inspires her own pursuit of purpose. Alternating between past and present, this play is a personal examination of faith, forgiveness, and the cost of seeking and speaking truth. The Chicago Reader called it “a smart and poignant” story.

MAJESTIC THEATER PRESENTS A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN  OCTOBER 31 – DECEMBER 1 West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present A Moon for the Misbegotten, Eugene O’Neill’s final and most personal play, onstage October 24 through December 1.  Set on a dilapidated Connecticut farm, the play focuses on Josie, a woman commanding and tough outside, sensuous and sensitive inside and Jamie Tyrone, a dissipated former actor with an astonishing capacity for alcohol. Josie’s father, Phil Hogan, a tenant farmer, suspects that Jamie intends to sell the farm to a hated neighbor and sets a plan in motion to bring Jamie and Josie together. This American classic play is a requiem about being able to love and be loved with a unique blend of comedy, tragedy, autobiography and imagination. The play will be directed by James Warwick.  Danny Eaton is producing director, and Sue Dziura is associate producing director.  Stephen Petit is production stage manager, and the associate production manager is Aurora Ferraro.  Chelsie Nectow is the stage manager, Greg Trochlil is the scenic designer, and the lighting designer is James MacNamara.  Costume design is by Dawn McKay and Alan Schneider is technical director. The cast includes Sue Dziura (Josie Hogan), J. T. Waite (Phil Hogan), Jay Sefton (James Tyrone, Jr.), Mike Hogan (Caleb Chew) and Tom Dahl (T. Stedman Harder).  Understudies include Tom Dahl, Myka Plunkett and Max Weinberg. Tickets to the show range from $35-$38 and can be purchased in person at the box office or by calling (413) 747-7797.  Box office hours are Monday – Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.  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 John Proctor Is the Villain By Kimberly Belflower Directed by Kyle Boatwright Oct. 31, Nov. 1, 2 at 7:30 p.m. | Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. | Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. The Curtain Theater $5 students, seniors, Card to Culture, $17 general admission Content advisory: discussions of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and grooming. Recommended for children age 15 and up Dramatic. Hysterical. Crazy. Women and girls who say the unspoken often find themselves labelled. In Kimberly Belflower’s John Proctor Is the Villain, which opens at UMass Theater on Oct. 25, a group of high schoolers in rural Georgia have no idea what they’re getting themselves into when they start a feminism club. As the Me Too movement gathers steam, secrets are uncovered in the community, and they come to see a classic play — The Crucible — with new empathy for the girls once branded as witches. John Proctor Is the Villain is an extremely timely, funny, sharp play, and director Kyle Boatwright suspects it will resonate with audiences of all ages. “This is set in 2018, and also, this could have been my own junior year High School class,” she says.  “We have the cheerleader, the jock, the good old boy, the nerd. They all have so much else going on underneath the surface,” Boatwright says, as the teens confront sexual assault, grooming, and related topics. “Even as the characters are calling out the predators of our time, ultimately they're also calling in others, encouraging growth and empathy.” Support and betrayal both come from unexpected corners. At the same time, this play is hilarious and cathartic, as the group reacts to the circumstances from an undeniably teenage perspective, calling on the wisdom of pop goddesses and staging a moment of wild release that celebrates their power and voice. “Laughter,” Boatwright points out, “is healing in many respects, and not just the act in and of itself — it can help us pull apart a traumatic event.” Production dramaturg David Keohane notes that Belflower wrote the play in consultation with students who were just out of high school. “The way that she's captured the language of young people translates so effectively,” he says. John Proctor Is the Villain is staged in the Curtain Theater, an intimate space that puts audiences in the classroom with our characters.

Nov 17th 2024, 2:00 pm Exit 7 Theater, 37 Chestnut Street, Ludlow MA 01056 Based on the smash hit 1991 Disney animated feature and dating back to a late 18th-century classic French fairy tale, Disney's Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast, a grisly and fearsome monster, who was long ago trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. There is a time limit, too: once a magical rose loses all of its petals, all hope will be lost and he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household--populated by such beloved characters as Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Chip--watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and befriend one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late?  Featuring the talents of Maddy Oldenburg as Belle, Christopher Morey as Beast, Austin Kopp as Lumiere, John Scully as Cogsworth, Lila Dunk as Mrs. Potts, Trin Mutti as Chip, Lyndsey Raucher as Babette, Eleanor Tynan as Madame, Evan Garber as Gaston, Caden Boeri as Lefou, Joe Lessard as Maurice, John Woytowicz as Monsieur D'Argue, Lauren Bailey, Antonio Mutti, Haley Thompson and Joana Tulik as the Silly Friends, Zachary Ciano, Grace Peltier and Deanna Weech as the Featured Dancers, and Florry Arnold, Ben Crowe, Andrei Danilchenko, Kevin Grady, Alora Machuca, Matthew O’Reilly, Tim Tynan, Marissa Warren, and Joe Wilcox as the Villagers and Castle Staff.  Direction by Krystle Bernier  Music Direction by Benjamin Maniscalchi  Choreography by Sarah Devine  Stage Managed by Ben Cantwell and Kel Fellows  Costumes by Sue Dubois and Karen Webb  Set by Francisco Aquas and Kyle Maskell  https://tinyurl.com/6y333dwu Valley Light Opera The McAdo 11/1 @ 7:30 PM, 11/2 and 11/3 @ 2:00 p.m.; 11/8 at 7:30 p.m.; 11/9 and 11/10 at 2:00 p.m. Academy of Music in Northampton The McAdo, or The Town of Ballydew, is Valley Light Opera’s newest production. See Gilbert & Sullivan as you’ve never seen it before! Set in the Highlands of Scotland, it tells the story of a wandering minstrel and the dainty maiden he loves, a tailor who became the Lord High Executioner and the McAdo who leads them all. VLO is bringing new life to this wonderful operetta with beautiful voices, lively dancing, sumptuous costumes, and lots and lots of humor.  Originally created by Gilbert and Sullivan Austin, this show avoids issues with The Mikado by setting the production in Scotland and using different names for places and characters.  We invite you to an evening of laughter, merriment, kilts, and happy endings. Valley Light Opera has drawn talent from all over New England throughout its 49 year history. It brings light and comic opera to life in fully staged productions that include stunning costumes, intricate and engaging sets, and rollicking song and dance routines. Unlike “grand” opera, light opera generally involves comical situations that lead to a happy ending. They are filled with witty spoken dialogue, beautiful songs, and lively footwork. The focus is on the story-telling and, especially for Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, there is almost always a central role for the chorus.  This production is helmed by Jacqueline Haney as Stage Director, Aldo Fabrizi as Music Director, and Emily Moner as Choreographer. aomtheatre.com There will be a pre-show talk for all ages at 1:00 p.m. on matinee days by Michael Greenebaum, a founding member of VLO, about The Mikado and The McAdo for all tickets holders to that day's matinee. Christine Benvenuto & The LAVA Center 25 HOUR THEATER FESTIVAL Nov 3, 2024 at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield On Saturday November 2, a group of Massachusetts playwrights will receive a prompt, pick some actors out of a hat, and spend the next 25 hours writing brand new plays expressly for those actors, rehearsing them and bringing them to LAVA for two performances the following evening. It’s an experience challenging, creative and fun for the writers, the actors and the audience participants. Suggested donations of $10-20 at the door Performances will take place Sunday, November 3 at 6 p.m. (masks required) and 8 p.m. (masks optional).  HOW: Supported by the Greenfield Cultural Council, Greenfield Community Television and The LAVA Center.  CONTACT: info@thelavacenter.org; christinebenvenuto@hotmail.com; 413-376-8118  TICKETS:  In 25 hours, 5-7 playwrights and a hatful of actors will agonize, write, and rehearse an evening of brand new plays into life.  Produced by local playwright Christine Benvenuto and The LAVA Center, the evening will showcase the work of western MA writers Henry Balzarini, Nina Gross, Silvia Kaplan, Jan Maher, and eastern MA writer Brian Rust, possibly joined by 1-2 others.  At 5 p.m. Saturday, November 2, Christine will give the writers a prompt to write TO and they will each pick from a hat the names of a few local actors to write FOR. Then it’s time to get to work! Writing into the night and perhaps throughout it, each will create a play of approximately 10 minutes. The next morning and afternoon, they will rehearse with their actors and bring the plays as close as to performance-polished (!) as humanly possible.  Taking part in play festivals involving prompts and time limits admittedly longer than 25 hours in New York and elsewhere, and enjoying local iterations of 24 hour festivals as a audience member, Christine has long wanted to produce a festival in Greenfield. Originally assuming the project would entail 24 hours, this one became 25 when the weekend was chosen and it turned out to be Daylight Savings. The 25 Hour Play Festival was born!  It’s an experience challenging, creative and fun for the writers, the actors and of course for our audience participants.

Finding the profound in the everyday UMass Theater presents Our Town, a timeless play about what's important. Do we appreciate the present moment as we should? That's the question to which director Behnam Alibakhshi returns over and over as he contemplates Thornton Wilder's Our Town. This American classic, which runs Nov. 15-23 in the Curtain Theater at UMass Theater, conveys the profundity of ordinary human experiences, something Alibakhshi feels we need more than ever in our current moment. "Life's inherent brutality often prevents us from fully understanding and enjoying simple, ordinary moments," says Alibakhshi. "The play draws attention to the fact that we don't need more brutality; we don't need to further complicate our lives." Our Town is a play in three acts that follows the journey of two main characters, Emily and George, from childhood to marriage and eventually death. Along the way, we also get to know other citizens of Grovers Corners, NH, as they encounter their own milestone moments in life. In Our Town a stage manager frames and comments on the action, and the production design is minimal, with actors miming where they might otherwise use props. The production creates what dramaturg Pedro Eiras describs as a "timeless" effect. "While our version will be timeless, it will gesture toward the past—not any specific past, but rather an idea of the past. Time is fluid, and the circle of life is eternal. Our version of Our Town could take place 100 years ago, it could take place now, or it could take place 100 years in the future." Alibakhshi notes that Wilder wrote the play in 1938, a time of global upheaval between two wars — and with the conflicts happening currently around the world, we might be uniquely positioned to appreciate Wilder's simple, immersive, and deeply resonant message. Our Town is presented in the Curtain Theater, a intimate space, so make your reservation now before performances sell out!

Easthampton Theater Company is excited to announce auditions for the first production of our 2025 season, the classic Tony and Drama Desk award-winning play On Golden Pond.  More information, character descriptions, audition requirements, appointment link and audition form are located at this link: https://forms.gle/w2hWCKvgaTQ9pfm3A  Directed by Jason Rose-Langston Produced by Michael O. Budnick  We are seeking six talented and dedicated actors - three portraying adult males, two playing adult females and one playing a teen boy, for the roles of Norman, Ethel, Chelsea, Bill, Billy Ray, and Charlie. All roles are open; no roles are precast.  Synopsis: Norman and Ethel Thayer return for another Summer together at their beloved family lake house on Golden Pond. It’s an idyllic New England paradise where the loons sing good morning and Charlie the mailman delivers the mail by boat. Norman, turning 80, is convinced it will be his last time at the lake. During the course of the summer, the couple are visited by their adult daughter, Chelsea, her new fiancé, Bill, and his 13-year-old son, Billy Ray. This warm-hearted story is a meditation on aging and the long-term family wounds that drive us away from each other, but also can bring us together. Themes include facing the ravages of time, bridging the generational divides, and finding connection in the most unlikely places. Ultimately, the play shows us how we confront and accept each other with wit, humor, and above all, love.  Performance dates: Weekends of March 14th and 21st, in Easthampton, MA Tech Week (mandatory) starts March 9th.
