SUMMARY:OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder
DESCRIPTION:Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play\, Our Town\, is a timeless exploration of the human experience. Set in the fictionalized small town of Grover’s Corners\, New Hampshire\, between 1901 and 1913\, it follows the daily routines\, loves\, and tragedies of the Gibbs and Webb families. The play is famously performed with limited stage scenery and almost no props\, using pantomime to encourage audiences to focus on the universal themes rather than design. We’ve selected Our Town for this season to highlight the 250th celebration by focusing on small town America\, and specifically “Our Town” of New Canaan.

SUMMARY:ROUNDING THIRD by Richard Dresser and PEN PALS by Michael Griffo
DESCRIPTION:ROUNDING THIRD by Richard Dresser is the first of our OCTOBER special weekend shows. The comedy is performed with scripts-in-hand. Rounding Third describes the humorous journey of two Little League coaches through an entire season\, from their first tentative meeting to the climactic championship game. Don is the tough\, blue-collar\, win-at-all-costs veteran coach whose son is the star pitcher. Michael is a newcomer both to the town and to baseball. He’s a corporate executive who agrees to be Don’s assistant because he wants a special activity with his son\, who’s never played baseball before. Butting heads doesn’t just happen on the field!  \nONE WEEKEND ONLY! \n“BASEBALL COMEDY ROUNDING THIRD HITS A HOMER” – Detroit Free Press \n“ROUNDING THIRD IS STRONG ON FUN” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer \nPEN PALS by Michael Griffo is the second of our OCTOBER special weekend shows. Direct from its celebrated run off-Broadway\, Pen Pals is the extraordinary story of two best friends who have never met. The minimalist two-woman show\, revolving around letter readings\, is a delightful\, heartwarming\, funny\, moving\, character-driven play that spans decades\, touching on adolescence\, marriage\, career milestones\, children\, and significant tragedies. Bernie and Mags live in two different countries\, and have been pen pals for over fifty years. Since they were teenagers\, they’ve shared every aspect of their lives with each other. They’ve told each other things they wouldn’t dare tell another soul. Through their letters\, they are closer to each other than anyone else in the world. The play has drawn consistent praise for its heart and poignant reflections on aging and female connection. Fans of A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters will find a familiar warmth here.  \nONE WEEKEND ONLY! \n“IT’S A STORY THAT CELEBRATES LIFELONG FRIENDSHIP WITH HUMOR\, HUMANITY\, AND HEARTFELT EMOTION.” – DC Theater Arts  \n“UTTERLY ABSORBING\, PACKING AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH.” – NJARTS.net \nROUNDING THIRD BY RICHARD DRESSER & PEN PALS BY MICHAEL GRIFFO AT POWERHOUSE THEATRE IN WAVENY PARK\, 679 South Ave (entrance to park)\, New Canaan\, CT \nSCHEDULE \n2 SHOWS – ONE WEEKEND ONLY EACH! \nThursdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm.

SUMMARY:ROUNDING THIRD by Richard Dresser and PEN PALS by Michael Griffo
DESCRIPTION:ROUNDING THIRD by Richard Dresser is the first of our OCTOBER special weekend shows. The comedy is performed with scripts-in-hand. Rounding Third describes the humorous journey of two Little League coaches through an entire season\, from their first tentative meeting to the climactic championship game. Don is the tough\, blue-collar\, win-at-all-costs veteran coach whose son is the star pitcher. Michael is a newcomer both to the town and to baseball. He’s a corporate executive who agrees to be Don’s assistant because he wants a special activity with his son\, who’s never played baseball before. Butting heads doesn’t just happen on the field!  \nONE WEEKEND ONLY! \n“BASEBALL COMEDY ROUNDING THIRD HITS A HOMER” – Detroit Free Press \n“ROUNDING THIRD IS STRONG ON FUN” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer \nPEN PALS by Michael Griffo is the second of our OCTOBER special weekend shows. Direct from its celebrated run off-Broadway\, Pen Pals is the extraordinary story of two best friends who have never met. The minimalist two-woman show\, revolving around letter readings\, is a delightful\, heartwarming\, funny\, moving\, character-driven play that spans decades\, touching on adolescence\, marriage\, career milestones\, children\, and significant tragedies. Bernie and Mags live in two different countries\, and have been pen pals for over fifty years. Since they were teenagers\, they’ve shared every aspect of their lives with each other. They’ve told each other things they wouldn’t dare tell another soul. Through their letters\, they are closer to each other than anyone else in the world. The play has drawn consistent praise for its heart and poignant reflections on aging and female connection. Fans of A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters will find a familiar warmth here.  \nONE WEEKEND ONLY! \n“IT’S A STORY THAT CELEBRATES LIFELONG FRIENDSHIP WITH HUMOR\, HUMANITY\, AND HEARTFELT EMOTION.” – DC Theater Arts  \n“UTTERLY ABSORBING\, PACKING AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH.” – NJARTS.net \nROUNDING THIRD BY RICHARD DRESSER & PEN PALS BY MICHAEL GRIFFO AT POWERHOUSE THEATRE IN WAVENY PARK\, 679 South Ave (entrance to park)\, New Canaan\, CT \nSCHEDULE \n2 SHOWS – ONE WEEKEND ONLY EACH! \nThursdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm.
