All things theatrical

Where is everybody?

September
26

So sad to hear of the demise of the 32-year-old Asbury Summer Theatre which will close up shop after a November look-back show.

According to a letter from the AST Committee:

“The primary reason for this decision — made by the AST Committee after a great deal of consideration and lengthy discussion — is the continually decreasing number of volunteers. Whether it be with auditionees, set-builders, ushers, or workers in other capacities, fewer and fewer people have been taking part. Other community theatres have been experiencing similar conditions.”

The final bow — AST’s “Our Time” — will be “a retrospective of its productions through the past 32 years.â€?

Show dates are Nov. 2 at 8, Nov. 3 at 2 and 8, and Nov. 4 at 6.

At Asbury United Methodist Church, 16 Scarsdale Road, Crestwood.

Tickets are $20; $15 seniors and children.

Call 914-961-6968.

If it involves theater in any way -- from grade-schoolers learning Shakespeare to high school musicals to Broadway veterans getting into character -- this is the place to talk about it. We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
