Auditions at the Cabaret THE CONNECTICUT CABARET THEATRE ROAMS ON “BERMUDA AVENUE TRIANGLE”
A HILARIOUS ROMP OF A COMEDY *
April 4th thru May 10th, 2008

BERLIN (APRIL 4 thru MAY 10, 2008) – The Connecticut Cabaret Theatre is pleased to announce its production of the Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna comedy BERMUDA AVENUE TRIANGLE, directed by Kris McMurray.

This outrageous comedy was a hilarious hit on Broadway. It concerns the adventures of a Jewish widow and an Irish widow whose successful daughters move them to Las Vegas, where they share a retirement village condo.

On an excursion, they are saved from a mugger by a charming if not quite sober gambler who is short on cash. They allow him to curl up on the living room floor and he manages to sweet talk his way into both ladies' beds. Each situation is rife with the outrageous, excessive comedy that endears these playwrights to audiences everywhere. This hysterical and funny show proves there is life after 65! BERMUDA AVENUE TRIANGLE is a show not to miss!

The Cabaret has assembled quite the talented cast, starring Joanne Callahan-Roohr as “Tess”, Marsha Karp as “Fannie” and Tom Roohr as “Johnny”. The show also features Joanna Robinson, Allison Pascucci and Fred Desimini. All who whoop it up in this hysterical comedy of retirement and “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. Definitely not a show to miss, this comedy is sure to leave your face muscles aching from laughter.

The fine production staff includes Kris McMurray, Artistic Director, Matthew Marrero, Public Relations Director and Resident Set Designer, and Barbara Norman, Box Office Manager.

The Grass Harp

THE GRASS HARP
Book and Lyrics by Kenward Elmslie, Music by Claibe Richardson Based on the novel by Truman Capote
MAY 16 thru JUNE 21, 2008

This 1971 musical has long been considered among enthusiasts as one of the lost treasures of the musical theater. Kept alive largely thanks to the extraordinary cast recording featuring an incandescent Barbara Cook, THE GRASS HARP is an intimate tale of fascinating characters carried on the wings of a ravishing score. The title refers to the wind rustling though fields of tall grass – “a harp of voices telling stories." This story tells of Dollyheart, a sweet-natured spinster with a secret receipt for an elixir cure, and her demanding sister, Verena, who is determined to exploit the recipe for her own purposes. When tensions rise, Dollyheart leaves her sister’s house with their orphaned teenage nephew and black housekeeper in tow to take up residence in a tree house. It isn’t long before other outcasts join their extended family including the revivalist Babylove and the children who comprise her Miracle Show, and the dearly eccentric Judge Cool. The deep emotional currents of these shifting relationships lead to an uplifting, compelling reconciliation. THE GRASS HARP is a Broadway cult favorite and anyone who has experienced its emotional tug and exhilarating score easily understands why.
