Press release
WOODBURY, CT – The Community Theatre at Woodbury (CTAW) returns for its 11th season with an exciting lineup of shows sure to please all audiences. Kicking the season off is a production of The Savannah Sipping Society by James Wooten, Jessie Jones, and Nicholas Hope. It is produced by special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service Inc, NY. Longtime CTAW Board Member and Artistic Director, Maureen Denver will direct it. The Savannah Sipping Society is a comedy that touches on the true meaning of friendship and what it means when circumstances force us to adjust to the uncomfortable changes, twists, and turns that confront us in life. 4 Southern women: Randa, Dot, Marlafaye, and later, Jinx, their new “life coach”, agree to meet on Randa’s verandah on Friday nights for cocktails.
In February, CTAW will present its first family-friendly show, Peter and the Starcatcher. Based on the novel by Dave Berry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and Starcatcher is a play by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker. The Tony-winning play upends the century-old story of how an orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan. Peter and the Starcatcher is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
