Lenka Peterson On ‘Center Stage’

Local public access producer Gene Rosen has created a new program that highlights the wealth of live theater in the area.

The new show, Center Stage, is designed to highlight “the unique and fascinating history as well as current productions of local theater in Charter’s viewing domain,” Mr Rosen said. Center Stage is the latest project for Mr Rosen, who lives in Sandy Hook.

The next two episodes will present an in-depth interview the author and actress of Broadway, television and film Lenka Peterson. The first part of the interview will run on Charter Communications Channel 21 on Monday, June 23, at 8 pm, and again on Wednesday, June 25, at 1:30 pm. The interview’s conclusion will then air on Monday, June 30, at 8 pm, with a repeat on Wednesday, July 2, at 1:30.

Center Stage debuted in April with a program that featured Evelyne Thomas, a director and producer for The Town Players of Newtown. Subsequent episodes have featured members of TheatreWorks New Milford, Kent Community Players, Musicals at Richter in Danbury, Main Street Theatre Company in Woodbury, and Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury.

Mr Rosen is currently working on his next episode, which will feature Newtown native Rachel Moreno.
