The Ghent Playhouse presents, ‘Invitation to a March’, running weekends in February, 2023.

While brimming with expectations of married life, the approaching reality puts a young bride-to-be to sleep whenever she’s around her rich, responsible fiance. With overtones of a famous fairytale, it is when kissed passionately by an unshackled unambitious plumber, that she awakens to the possibility of adventure, igniting a battle between the two families and two of the permanent residents who become entangled in their lives.

Written by Arthur Laurents and Directed by J. Peter Bergman.

The Rooted Voyageurs are doing three performances of their production, The Witching Hour, on October 15 and 16.

The veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is thinning, when a witch comes to communicate with the dead about a local tragedy, more is revealed than meets the eye. Join The Rooted Voyageurs for their production of The Witching Hour. The Witch (Devante Owens) will tell a chilling story inspired by local lore about the Hoosac Tunnel, written by Luke Haskell. Following the performance, there will be a spooky open mic! Put your name in a hat and be chosen to tell a story of your own.

The performance will run 45 minutes (followed by the open mic) and is free to the public. Seating is limited and on a first come first serve basis.

The Rooted Voyageurs is a theater company, founded by Devante Owens (Artistic Director) and Zoe Wohlfeld (Managing Producer), whose mission is art without admission. They believe everyone should have access to empathic, joyful and entertaining stories, and that live theater is more captivating when people from all walks of life are on stage and in the audience. Their performances are free to the public.

Saturday, October 15th / 4pm Hudson Youth Center

The Ghent Playhouse presents, ‘Buyer & Cellar’, running weekends in October, 2022.

This outrageously funny and irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises – a struggling L.A. actor takes a job working in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu, California basement – makes for some delicious wit and insight on the solitude of celebrity, the love-hate attraction between gay men and divas, and the melancholy that lurks beneath the narcissism.

Directed by Cathy Lee-Visscher
