February Workshop

Saturday, February 8 (10am-4pm)

Directing & Acting in Readers Theatre

This full-day workshop will be led by Christine Crawfis and Steavie Hergenrader Reed

Our CP2 Readers Theatre Series brings a text to life through expressive reading, vocal inflection, facial expressions, and subtle body language, all with actors reading from the script, focusing on character interpretation and overall narrative flow, rather than full memorization or elaborate staging.

Join us to learn the techniques needed to actively perform or direct a text with emphasis on character development, active listening, and ensemble focus.

Opens in Three Weeks!

The year is 1942 and World War II has called millions away to Europe, including the leading players of Oberon Play House. Enter a group of passionate, albeit inexperienced, band of actresses who seize the chance to move from the sidelines to centerstage. For the first time, they will receive pay for their talents as they mount an ambitious production. Will their performance be a victory on the home front or a disaster of epic proportions?

Set right here in Wappingers Falls, this charming, hilarious, and heartwarming play celebrates the power of art to rally a community and see us through the darkest of times.

Gilbert & Sullivan’s pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there's a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.

Ramin Karimloo, Jinkx Monsoon, and David Hyde Pierce lead the crew in Pirates! The Penzance Musical. This must-see Roundabout re-imagining of The Pirates of Penzance. is directed by Scott Ellis (Doubt; Kiss Me, Kate) and choreographed by Warren Carlyle (Harmony; Kiss Me, Kate), with a hilarious new adaptation by Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), musical direction by Joseph Joubert (Caroline, or Change), and orchestrations by Joubert and Daryl Waters (Memphis).
