DEPOT THEATRE BACK ON TRACK AND BACK ON STAGE (ahead of Broadway!) Westport, N.Y. — Following a year’s pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Depot Theatre returned to the stage with live performances in July 2021 months ahead of Broadway’s return! The summer, which included 3 of the 4 shows originally planned for the 2020 season, opened with powerful performances in the season opener: THE MOUNTAINTOP.
THE MOUNTAINTOP
WORKING: A MUSICAL
“The performance was so emotionally engaging that it wasn’t until the standing ovation that I realized that I’d been crying for some time.” “I saw my whole family in this show: my husband, who’s a tradesman, my daughter, a nurse, and myself as a stay-at-home mother on that stage! That was wonderful .” The second production, WORKING: A MUSICAL featured six vocal dynamos, including the Depot’s own multi-talented Producing Artistic Director, Kenney Green. The cast also performed a special concert version of the show at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.
LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR & GRILL
Those who attended the second Depot Dialogue for LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL were treated to a very special appearance from Lanie Robertson, the show’s award-winning playwright! This year’s Depot Dialogues, in which audience members participated in a Q&A with directors and cast, were especially well-attended and thought provoking. The Depot Theatre Academy at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall culminated in three performances of INTO THE WOODS JR and a one-night-only Senior Cabaret, with participants 13 and older performing alongside professional Depot artists.
