Episode # 174 - Westchester Theatre Roundtable
nytheatrecast goes beyond the five boroughs to take a look at the theatre scene in Westchester County, New York. Joining our moderator Leonard Jacobs are Jack W. Batman and Bruce Harris of White Plains Performing Arts Center and Bill Stutler of Westchester Broadway Theatre.
White Plains Perfoming Arts Center offers a diverse array of programming aimed at many age groups, tastes, and personalities. Their Broadway Classics series will kick off on November 29th with a new production of Man of la Mancha starring Robert Cuccioli.
Westchester Broadway Theatre is a dinner theatre offering revivals (and, occasionally) new productions of classic musicals. Their current season includes the Maury Yeston Phantom, along with A Christmas Carol, Buddy, and Beauty and the Beast.
Our guests point out that Westchester’s theatre scene is booming. The theatres are within an hour of downtown Manhattan and both companies often feature Broadway-caliber talent.
