All Productions for the week of Sunday, April 22, 2018:

• Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
  (4/13/2018 - 4/28/2018)
  by Nutley Little Theatre (at Nutley Little Theatre in Nutley)

  (Alan Ball) During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five  reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. They are Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit.(less)(more)
• Hitler's Tasters
  (4/6/2018 - 4/22/2018)
  by Centenary Stage Company (at Centenary College in Hackettstown)

  (Michelle Kholos Brooks) *Winner 2017 Susan Glaspell Award* Inspired by the true story. Three  times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolph Hitler's food tasters. And what do girls discuss as they wait to see if they will live through another meal? Like all girls, throughout time, they gossip and dream, they question and dance. They want to love, laugh, and above all *they want to survive.*(less)(more)
• The Producers
  (4/27/2018 - 5/6/2018)
  by Readington Community Theatre (at Polish American Citizens' Club in Whitehouse Station)

  (Mel Brooks) The story line is a comedy classic: a crooked producer and his anxiety ridden  accountant cook up a scheme to present a massive train wreck of a theatrical fiasco and pocket their investors money before the curtain falls. Dancing off with more Tony Awards than any other show in Broadway history, musical numbers include I Want to Be a Producer and Springtime for Hitler. With clever songs and belly laughs from the mind of Mel Brooks, The Producers is a show everyone should see at least once(less)(more)
