​TALKING WITH.... is a 1982 award-winning play featuring 11 actresses, each telling 10-minute stories of the personal ordeals of their characters.  Many of the stories are touching, a few intensely emotional, and even comical, and funny ones.  On the surface, they might all be considered “crazy”, however each character has an underlying truth that draws the audience in to their sensitive insights.... as they speak from the depths of their souls.  You will not easily forget these women!


STARRING:

Zoe Bebon, Deborah Burke, Andrea Garmun, Jessie Gilbert, Paige Howell, Claire Kenny, April Lichtman, Janet Rathert, Donna White Ruppert, Sarah Smegal, Katrina Snyder

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE NOTE: This play is produced under our SPECIAL EVENTS umbrella.  It's not the typical family-friendly TPNC show.  There is nothing blatant, nothing "adult", but there is some harsh laguage and more "wild" storylines than you might normaly see on our main stage.  Think "Off-Broadway" fare.

NEXT UPCOMING.... 

For more TPNC typical fare, our next on-stage, fully-produced MAINSTAGE play will stream during the first weekend in December.  We hope you will join us for THE INDEPENDENTS by Chris Ward - DIRECT FROM A 2019 OFF-BROADWAY RUN!   This show is a wonderful family-friendly and educational play about the historic and unique relationship between the painters Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt. 

We are a small community theater, founded and run entirely by volunteers!   We must be doing something right, because we are now in our 74rd year, providing top-quality, award-winning productions for all our patrons.  In order to make ends meet thoughout the decades, we relay on the generosity of our donors to keep our doors open and our lights on.  But these are difficult times, and although our doors are shuttered, we are doing everything in our power to keep our theater alive.  And so while other theaters are zooming their productions, we have, instead, decided to produce complete staged plays with co-habitating, and/or safely-distanced actos and crew!  Out audience will be able to watch from the comford of their own living rooms, while our actos perform on the Town Players of New Canaan Powerhouse Theater stage.  

In addition, during this pandemic intermission (insert drumroll here!), we’ve decided to move forward on the 35+-year old plans to double the size of our lobby.  YES, the original plans were drawn up in early 1985!   We will be adding two additional ADA compliant bathrooms, and redesign the whole lobby for safer distancing and comfort of our patrons.   To make this long-standing dream a reality, we ask for your continued support.  All donations are tax-deductible, and any all donations are more than welcomed.  And if you happen to want the lobby named for yourself or a loved one.... let’s talk!   Naming rights available!   In the meantime, we ask that you join us for this and other upcoming productions....... And ask you to give what you can to allow us to keep theater ALIVE!​​
