See a local play at Oddfellows Playhouse!
Theatre 4 is a new professional theater company based in New Haven, and this weekend, they’re going to be putting up a new show right here in Middletown, over at Oddfellows Playhouse.
The play, “Anton in Show Business,” is described as an “intelligent comedy for grownups, satirizing the trials and tribulations of producing a play. While taking a comical look at self-involved actors, egotistical directors, complacent audiences, over zealous critics, and fickle corporate sponsors, the play’s heart lies in the growing importance of the arts for their ability – if only for a moment in time – to create community and magic.”
When: October 10-11 at 8 pm
Where: Oddfellows Playhouse (128 Wash St)
$$$: I think free? But Theatre 4 is a nonprofit and there is a $20 suggested donation
Reservations: Call 203.623.7560
