Theater

What does it take to create a brand-new theater company? For Fairfield Center Stage, the new nonprofit theater company in Fairfield, Connecticut, it takes resilience, creative thinking, a strong sense of community, and a little bit of luck.

Intermittently funny and unevenly powerful, Mark Chrisler's play 'Worse Than Tigers' is amusingly absurdist and patently symbolist yet on another level grittily real.

If you enjoy the Andersons, do not miss their presentation of Hoagy Carmichael's music and life.

This dramatic and celebratory dance extravaganza floods the stage with rhythm and song, storytelling, and a phalanx of aggressively talented dancers.

The ups and downs of show business are on full display with Westport Country Playhouse's hit production.

The Andersons and their band are masters at this art of spinning new interpretations on older melodies revealing the music's timeless appeal.

In the fifth year of Singapore's gay theme party "Nation," just as Pam Oei decides to let her hair down and shake her body with total abandon, the music abruptly stops – because in real life the government stopped the event in 2005. That scene said so much, despite Oei saying not much at all.

And who doesn't like an underdog who proves their worth by taking chances on something untested?

There is no reason to see this play through rose colored glasses that hide the pernicious truth at its core.

In an exciting story mirroring past headlines, journalists meet, discuss things, and make deals to tackle a piece of salacious news amidst a government intent on censoring what the public knows, and editors who struggle to find the balance.
