Ruth Van News

Playhouse on Park supporters gathered on May 14th, 2022 for the Playhouse's annual fundraiser, ENCORE! This year's theme was IMAGINE IF… Can you imagine a world without theatre or theatre education? Imagine If… all the proceeds from this uniquely entertaining evening were dedicated to keeping professional live theatre on the Playhouse on Park stage, and bringing excellent theatre arts programs through Playhouse Theatre Academy to children and youth for years to come!

Ruth Wilson will star in Ivo van Hove’s adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s The Human Voice, which he also directs with design by Jan Versweyveld, originally produced by Internationaal Theater Amsterdam. The production opens at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 22 March, with previews from 17 March, and runs for three weeks only until 9 April.

David Figliuzzi, Lisa Greene, Jacqueline Moller, and Brittany N. Stephenson join the Playhouse Theatre Group, Inc Board of Directors as Playhouse on Park finishes its tenth season. These individuals will each serve a three-year term. 

'Never before have I felt so much love and support from so many people,' said Darlene Zoller, Playhouse on Park's co-artistic director and co-founder, of its 10th Anniversary Gala Fundraiser, which took place just last Saturday at the Gershon Fox Ballroom in Hartford.

Ivo van Hove, one of the world's most exciting directors, makes his National Theatre debut with a modern production of Ibsen's masterpiece.  Press Night for Hedda Gabler is 12 December.  The production will continue in repertoire until 21 March.
