The production, which was staged at the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre in Torrington, tackled âSilent Sky.â The play was written by American playwright Laura Gunderson and was first produced in 2011.
âSilent Skyâ tells the true story of 19th century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. Leavitt lived in a time when womenâs ideas, especially in the sciences, were dismissed until a man stepped forward to claim credit.

Torrington, CT – The Warner Theatre opened the next production in the tenth installation of the virtual 9th Annual International Playwrights Festival on Friday. The play RELATIVITY & ME was written by Canadian playwright Len Cuthbert and was recorded in the Warner s Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire International Playwrights Festival will be a virtual event – each production will be recorded in the Warner s studio theatre over a period of several weeks and then the pieces are streamed via YouTube and Facebook every other Friday until April.

Final rehearsal of The Puzzle with the Piazza (Goshen Players Facebook page)
GOSHEN, CT (and my home) - I was so pleased that I was able to attend the stage reading performance produced by the Goshen Players of the new play THE PUZZLE WITH THE PIAZZA written by Mark Dunn.
The excellent audio/video aspects were provided by technical director Jim Luurtsema of JPL Music Services. Mr. Luurtsema emailed me a reminder to watch and alerted me to some of the technical work that he had done to enhance the audio and visual elements to bring clarity of sight and sound which he feels have been a struggle for folks with Streaming events. I would concur that there has been a wide range in the quality of the streams that I have viewed, although the number I have been invited to see has been more limited than the shows that I would have attended in a typical year.
