DANBURY â Musicals at Richter, celebrating its 19th season as the longest-running outdoor theater in southwestern Connecticut, will hold 2003 season auditions for high school, college and adult performers this weekend at Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road in Danbury. A separate childrenâs audition will be held for young performers.

Open adult auditions are set for Friday, April 11, from 7 to 10 pm; Saturday, April 12, from 2 to 5 and 7 to 10 pm; and Sunday, April 13, from 1 to 5 pm.

Children/young adult auditions are scheduled for Saturday, April 12, from 10 am to 12:30 pm.

The mainstage musical season features the Lerner and Loewe classic My Fair Lady, running June 19 to July 5; Once On This Island by the Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, July 10-26; and Gilbert and Sullivanâs ever-popular nautical romp H.M.S. Pinafore, July 31 to August 16.

The mainstage offerings will also include Itâs A Musical World, a special cabaret revue celebrating travel and destinations in song, ranging from Cape Cod to Copenhagen. The program will perform two evenings. Needed for this showâs ensemble are three men (two tenor, one baritone) and three women (two soprano, one alto) who move well and are capable of performing close harmony singing. In addition, two men and two women are sought as soloists.

Show descriptions and cast breakdowns can be found on the theater website, www.MusicalsAtRichter.org.

Young performers ages 7 to 15 are being sought for Fairy Tale Theater, a small repertory group directed by Elyse Jasensky that presents childrenâs shows on selected Saturday mornings during the summer. These are the auditions being held the morning of April 12. All roles are open and candidates do not have to sing, but should be prepared to read.

A small number of children are also sought for the mainstage shows. There is a featured role for a young girl (aged 9-12) who sings and dances well in Once on This Island. Additionally, several children (ages 9-12) who sing and dance well will be cast in the ensemble of My Fair Lady.

Children auditioning for either of these shows should prepare an uptempo and ballad Broadway show tune, and be prepared to read and dance.

In addition to performers, Musicals at Richter welcomes volunteers from the area for backstage duties such as set construction, properties, costume coordination, and running crew; and front- of-house operations such as house management, ushering and concessions. Interested individuals are invited to call or email the theater, or to indicate their interest at the auditions.

New Year’s Walk & Seed Bomb Launching Event Planned

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
