Stratford theater performances for the year

By -


SQUARE ONE THEATRE’s upcoming 23rd Season is highlighted by the brilliantly intricate thriller, Deadly Murder (November 12 through November 17, 2012); a chronically entertaining comedy, Distracted (March 1 through March 16, 2013) and, 4000 Miles (pending availability) a funny, moving, altogether wonderful new play (May 17 through June 1, 2013). All three productions will be directed by Tom Holehan, Square One Theatre Artistic Director.
Chock full of twists, turns and bluffs, David Foley’s brilliantly intricate thriller, Deadly Murder, is guaranteed to be one step ahead of the audience all the way! Camille Dargus has beauty, brains, wealth and a successful career. She also has a penchant for attractive young men. One night she meets a young waiter and takes him back to her SoHo apartment only to find that there’s more to the man than meets the eye. Camille finds herself held hostage at gunpoint by a man who seems frighteningly familiar with the past Camille has struggled to forget.
Performances of DEADLY MURDER are:

Friday, November 2 (2012) at 8pm
Saturday, November 3 at 8pm
Sunday, November 4 at 2pm (matinee)

Friday, November 9 at 8pm

Sunday, November 11 at 2pm (matinee)

Friday, November 16 at 8pm
Saturday, November 17 at 4pm (twilight matinee)
Saturday, November 17 at 8pm (final performance)

The New York Daily News called Distracted “A chronically entertaining comedy.” Playwright Lisa Loomer’s hilarious, provocative and poignant look at a modern family and an epidemic dilemma that asks: ‘Are we so tuned into our 24/7 sound bites world that we’ve tuned out what really matters?’ What’s really wrong with nine-year-old Jesse? He can’t sit still. His teacher thinks it’s Attention Deficit Disorder. Dad says, “He’s just a boy!” And Mom is on a quest for answers. Is Jesse dysfunctional or just different?

4000 Miles (pending availability) hailed by The New York Times as “A funny, moving, altogether wonderful new play!” will close Square One Theatre’s 23rd season. Amy Herzog’s lovely play looks at how two outsiders find their way in today’s world. After suffering a major loss while he was on a cross-country bike trip, 21-year-old Leo seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandmother, Vera, in her West Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these two unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder and ultimately reach each other.

Milford's Unsolved Murders

By NJM -
After the June 11 arrest of Luis A. Rodriguez for the 2001 murder of Walnut Beach resident Kelsey Monahon, I got curious about other long-term unsolved homicides in Milford. So, I began digging through the New Haven Register's archives; I looked at all the murders in Milford that we have on record (dating back to the 1940s) and I came up with a list of 9* unfortunate souls whose murders are unsolved. Here are all the ones I could find in chronological order: -Peter Spinelli (1996) -Unidentified male remains (1994) -Unidentified male remains (1992) -Anna E. Hiltz (1983)** -Constance Roberts (1982)  -Blasé Miserendino (1978) -Gary Steadman (1977) -Kenneth Matteson (1975) -Charles McCoy (1968) Sometimes, homicides take a long, long time to solve. And sometimes, after a while, people come out of the woodwork with some scrap of evidence or memory that helps close a decades-old crime. I'm still working on the story, but I wanted to reach out to the Milf

Updated poll results. A total of 456 people took the New Haven Register's poll question concerning what they'd like to see happen to the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site on Cherry Street.

Milford theater site sold; what do you think should go there?

By -
Milford reporter Rich Scinto needs your help for a story he is working on today. At an Economic Development Commission meeting this morning it was revealed that the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site sold for more than $5 million. But the $5 million question concerns what will be going there. As Milford residents what do you think should occupy the former theater site on Cherry Street? Post your comments here or email Rich at rscinto@newhavenregister.com Here is what we have thus far. MILFORD—The vacant National Amusements Theater on Cherry Street has sold to Cerruzzi Properties LLC. The property was sold on June 12 for $5.8 million.
