"ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE..."
William Shakespeare - As You Like It

It may be true that all the world is a stage and that we are all merely playing our parts, but for these brief two weekends every summer, we like to think of our world being here on Curtain Call's version of the Globe Theatre Stage.

It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since we began planning for this annual outdoor program. We've been out here on "the green" for 19 years now..,including the summer of 2020 when, while we couldn't do a full-scale production due to pandemic restrictions but still put together a program of Shakespearean scenes, monologues and added songs from musicals inspired by the works of the Bard. So many of you here tonight have been with us since the beginning, so thank you for your loyal support.

And speaking of beginnings, back in the summer of 1972, while the City of Stamford was getting ready to open what is now known as The Kweskin Theatre, the founding artistic director, Albert Pia, was presenting shows on a portable stage just about where we are performing tonight! 50 years is a good long time for a nonprofit community theatre to have survived...and most often, thrived. Again, that's because of you.

It's pretty unlikely that I'll be around to celebrate the 100th year of great entertainment here at Sterling Farms, so for now, I'm excited about what we have ahead in our near future: our Summer Youth Theatre production of the classic 1950s Broadway smash, THE PAJAMA GAME, will play in The Kweskin, August 4 through 14. I’m even more excited about our new season starting in September when I am thrilled to say that six of the shows we have on tap for you have never played here at Sterling Farms!!! As we celebrate this milestone anniversary of The Kweskin, the first show here in late September is the musical CABARET, one of the shows playing here for the first time, and whose movie version also opened 50 years ago. Our full season listing is in this program – hard copies and order forms are available in the lobby.

As always, the best source of advertising for us is for you, our friends and fans, to tell your friends. The past two and a half years have been terrible for the performing arts industry, and while we're producing at "normal" levels, audience numbers are still not back to pre-pandemic levels. Your support tonight is so greatly appreciated as we work toward presenting the same level of performance you come to expect here.

I hope to see you here again soon and really hope you'll consider becoming (or re-joining) us as Flex Pass subscribers.

Thanks so much and enjoy the show.
