CURRENTLY ON THE BOARDS

ARTHUR MILLER'S A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

New Haven's Canal Dock Boathouse   

February 10-March 10, 2024

Directed by James Dean Palmer. 

 

Long Wharf opened in 1965 with The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, one of the 20th Century’s greatest playwrights. Now join us at one of New Haven’s most iconic waterfront locations; the Canal Dock Boathouse, for A View From The Bridge; one of his most compelling plays about an Italian family’s journey towards belonging in America in the 1950’s. With its sweeping views of the New Haven waterfront and the iconic Q Bridge, the Boathouse, transformed by our designers into an amazing theatre, evokes the Brooklyn waterfront where Miller’s timeless story takes place.

CAST

Dominic Fumusa , who played "Kevin Peyton" opposite Edie Falco on Showtime's "Nurse Jackie,” will star as Eddie Carbone. Annie Parisse , known for her role as Alexandra Borgia on “Law & Order,” will star as Eddie’s wife Beatrice, . Paten Hughes, star and co-creator of the hit digital series “Heirloom,” will play their niece Catherine. Patricia Black, actress on the hit series “Pose,” will appear as the lawyer Alfieri alongside West End theater actor Antonio Magro as Marco and Mark Junek as Rodolpho. Rounding out the cast are theater and television actors Mike Boland and Todd Cerveris. . 

In 1950s Brooklyn, longshoreman Eddie Carbone (Dominic Fumusa) harbors a subconscious and jealous affection for his niece, Catherine (Paten Hughes,) whom he is raising with his wife Beatrice (Annie Parisse.) When distant cousins arrive unexpectedly from Italy and one of them falls for Catherine, Eddie takes drastic measures to protect his fragile American Dream. Deeply relevant, A View From The Bridge wrestles with truths about family, the complexities of how we assimilate and, ultimately, how we view ourselves as Americans.

“THE LUCKY STAR

By  KAREN HARTMAN

Directed By NOAH HIMMELSTEIN

Like so many great mysteries, it all began in an attic with a dusty old suitcase... The discovery of a stash of over two hundred letters in three languages opens clues to an untold history in The Lucky Star...a gripping true story of resilience and determination, a family torn apart by war, fighting to emigrate, escape and survive. With scenes alternating between past and present, this mesmerizing, uplifting, and at times irreverent drama brings Richard Hollander’s book, Every Day Lasts a Year: A Jewish Family's Correspondence from Poland to the stage, restoring a family's uncharted legacy.

The Lucky Star made its New York premiere at 59E59 Theatres from April 20-June 12, 2022.  The play will return to New York in the 2024-2025 season

"THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE"
ARRRRR RETURNING TO BROADWAY!

The Pirates of Penzance returns to Broadway in John Rando’s star-studded, immersive, and hilariously silly production choreographed by Joshua Bergasse. It will be the 27th production of Pirates on a Broadway stage and the first Broadway production since 1982!

The revival expands on the sold-out production at Barrington Stages that brought joy to audiences AND critics alike:

“It’s hard to imagine more ideal entertainment than the exhilarating production of The Pirates of Penzance.”
– Charles Isherwood - The New York Times

“Rejoice greatly!….it’s funny – wildly, gloriously funny…Should this "Pirates" make it to Broadway, it'll be none too soon!”
– Terry Teachout - The Wall Street Journal

“Pirates is a show we need to revisit regularly, a model of silliness that is also tender and witty and accessibly melodic and as surefire and confident as a cannon.”
– Jesse Greene - New York Magazine

“An appraisal of this “Pirates’’ should start with the artistry of Rando and Bergasse, whose electric staging and choreography fuse to form a propulsive force that blasts away any cobwebs that might cling to the 1879 Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.There is not a better time to be had in the theater...than at this exhilarating production.”
– Don Aucoin - The Boston Globe

"39 STEPS" ended its most recent run at the Union Square Theatre - "just 39 Steps East of Union Square" on January 3, 2016. From April 1, 2015 TO January 3, 2016 the show played 317 performances to 61,590 people, each of whom got a free red #nosie!

Previously, it ran on Broadway from January 15, 2008 through January 10, 2010, and then transferred to New World Stages where it ran from April 15, 2010 to January 16, 2011. The show played total of 1135 performances in its FIRST New York run.

"39 STEPS" is the two-time Tony Award-winning hit comedy that Ben Brantley of the New York Times calls "Absurdly Enjoyable." It's a CRITIC'S PICK from both Time Out NY and
The New York Times, whose Ben Brantley calls it
"THIS CENTURY'S MOST TIRELESS AND HIGH-PROFILE EXAMPLE
OF THE LITTLE SHOW THAT COULD"
"DELIGHTFULLY DIZZY...VIRTUOSIC"..."GALLANT AND GIGGLY!" "

39 Steps is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 'insanely talented' actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name! The show’s uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath… in a good way!

It's great fun for everyone from 9 to 99.

WITNESSED BY THE WORLD is a new play by Ronnie Cohen & Jane Beale, directed by Karen Carpenter.

Joan Ross has been haunted by the assassination of JFK since childhood. Now an acclaimed reporter and seasoned researcher, she has been re-reading the Warren Commission, reviewing old television footage and generally immersing herself in the 'facts' from that period. Most of it, she finds, is pure bunk. Ira Basil is a well-regarded Hollywood screenwriter known mainly for light comedies - his first foray into drama went so poorly he's afraid to pick up a pen.

So when Joan enters his life to help him with his next project, he just knows his career will get back on track. Together they begin to work on a script that's loosely based on a 'true life' mystery: Jack Ruby as a mafia wanna-be conned into doing a big job for the mob. But when art begins to resemble life, bad things begin to happen to Joan
