Community Theatre at Woodbury Presents "New York"

The Community Theatre at Woodbury will present its production of “New York,” by David Rimmer, on March 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m., and March 13 at 2:30 p.m., at the Old Town Hall, 5 Mountain Rd., Woodbury.

The play touchingly portrays individuals from various walks of life who, with the help of a psychiatrist, endeavor to come to terms with the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, according to a press release. Woodbury residents Robert Cutrofello and Sarah Robards are the directors. The show’s 15 actors range in age from teens to 70s and hail from Woodbury, Southbury, New Milford, Waterbury, and Middlebury.

“New York” has been performed across the United States and was originally written as a means to raise funds for volunteer psychiatrists dedicated to helping the overwhelming number of individuals psychologically affected.

"The CTAW is dedicating this run of this show to the memory of our local men and women who lost their lives in this tragedy, and to their families," the press release stated.

CTAW will raffle off a gift basket and two tickets to its May musical The Spitfire Grill, with 100-percent of the proceeds to be donated to the Woodbury Fire Department in honor of the bravery and sacrifice of 9/11’s first responders. Additionally, in tandem with Woodbury Restaurant Week, for every theatre patron who presents their dinner check from a participating restaurant, CTAW will donate $2 from each ticket purchased by that patron.

Tickets are $20.00 for general admission and $16 for seniors and people under 18. Tickets may be purchased through CTAW’s website or by calling Woodbury Parks and Rec at (203) 263-3113.

All performances are held at the Woodbury Historic Town Hall, 5 Mountain Rd., Woodbury, CT. Doors open 45 minutes before show time.
