âNovemberâ In September At TheatreWorks

NEW MILFORD â This fall, TheatreWorks New Milford will debut the hilarious political comedy November by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet.

November is the 2008 Tony Award-winning, scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and the lengths to which people will go to win. Set just days before a presidential election, incumbent Charles Smithâs chances for re-election are looking grim. Approval ratings are down, his moneyâs running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. But Smith isnât going down without a fight.

As per White House tradition, the President pardons a couple turkeys before Thanksgiving, and it is this simple PR event that inspires Smith to risk it all in a hilarious attempt to make an eleventh-hour comeback.

The cast features some of the areaâs finest actors: Robyn Maitland (New Fairfield), Mike Ritts (Oxford), Jonathan Jacobson (Litchfield), Tom Libonate (Danbury), and Matt McQuail (Newtown).

November is under the direction of Richard Pettibone of New Milford.

November runs weekends, September 14 to October 6. Curtain is 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays, with a 2 pm Sunday matinee on September 30. Tickets for all shows are $20 for reserved seating.

On Thursday, September 13, senior citizens are invited to a free dress rehearsal at 8 pm. Then Thursday, September 20, at 8 pm, is TheatreWorksâ Pay-What-You-Want night. At this performance, you name the price for your ticket.

Reservations can be made online at www.TheatreWorks.us or by calling the box office at 860-350-6863.

TheatreWorks is an award-winning, regional theatre company located at 5 Brookside Avenue, just off Route 202 in New Milford.

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
