Playwrights Collective On ‘Center Stage’

The next episode of Center Stage will feature an interview with members of Brookfield Center for the Arts and Brookfield Playwrights Collective. The program will run on Charter Communications Channel 21 on Monday, October 6, at 8 pm, and again on Wednesday, October 8, at 1:30 pm.

Center Stage is the latest project of local public access producer Gene Rosen of Sandy Hook, who created a program that highlights the wealth of live theater in the area. The show is designed to highlight “the unique and fascinating history as well as current productions of local theater in Charter’s viewing domain,” Mr Rosen said.

In the new episode Mr Rosen talks with Playwrights Collective project director Wendell MacNeil and literary manager Jan Henson Dow.

Center Stage debuted in April with a program that featured Evelyne Thomas, a director and producer for The Town Players of Newtown. Subsequent episodes have featured members of TheatreWorks New Milford, Kent Community Players, Musicals at Richter in Danbury, Main Street Theatre Company in Woodbury, Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury, The Warner Theater in Torrington, and former Newtown educator Linda Benedetto, who discussed “The Power of Drama in The Educational Setting.”
