Seven Angels Theatre

by Gino DiIorio and Nancy Bleemer
For Vincent Didonato, the family’s metal casting shop that he runs would hardly seem the perfect place to meet Ms. Right. But that is exactly what happens when a bunch of resumes from several comely New York actresses start pouring into his “Casting” office. Finding one young waitress too irresistible to let slip away; he sets up an “audition” for a fictitious film. Mistaken identity and hilarity soon follow as show business and sheet metal collide. A mad-cap new comedy that proves sometimes it’s alright to let sparks fly.

Our Turn Up The Volume! play reading series continues.

It’s 1934 on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland and word arrives that a Hollywood director is shooting a film on location. As ripples of excitement spread through the community, no one is more determined to audition than “Cripple” Billy who along the way tries to make sense of who he is. Hilarious, sad, eccentric, and at times deeply touching, McDonagh’s masterpiece is filled with a host of charming Irish characters and unexpected plot twists.

Tickets $10 and on sale now.

by Maria Baratta
Seven Angels is thrilled to bring Maria Baratta back to her hometown of Waterbury with her award winning play, Vignettes of an I-talian American Girl. A goody-goody Italian American girl clashes with her rebellious younger sister, and through a twist of fate reveals that there is more to La Famiglia than the Sopranos, cannolis, and guns. A one-woman show sauteed with garlic and caramelized with humor! Direct from the 2011 NY Fringe Festival " Baratta is a master at conjuring up the many family members who had a hand in her coming of age, all of them hell-bent on teaching her the rules of Italian Catholic propriety. Vignettes reminds us that barriers to assimilation come from both within and without." – theater is easy.com “Baratta’s performance is moving at times and hilarious at others.”- nytheatre.com

Book by Jerome Alden; Music by John Phillip Sousa; Lyrics by Hal Hackady Adaptations and Original Music by Richard Kapp “I can do one of two things,” says Teddy Roosevelt at the top of “Teddy & Alice,” “I can either be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both!" The battle of wills between the great American President and his free-spirited daughter provides a spectacular double-star turn in this high-stepping, flag-waving and heart-warming family drama, set to the immortal strains of John Philip Sousa.

Connecticut Magazine once again names Seven Angels Theatre-Best Community Theatre. This is what they had to say:
“Community theater is alive and well in Waterbury at Stage II, the non-Equity, community division of that city’s Seven Angels Theatre. Notable productions in the past year have included My Fair Lady and To Kill a Mockingbird, and the new season kicks off this month with Annie, directed by local radio-show host Tom Chute, with musical direction by Richard DeRosa. All communities should have such a place for talented local amateurs to gather and put on a show.”
