Spotlight on Rockland Theater

The Nance

Elmwood Playhouse 

Nyack

Chauncey Miles plays a “nance,” a stock character in Prohibition-era vaudeville that portrayed a gay man as an effeminate caricature. As Chauncey struggles to claim his identity and find acceptance, the boisterous burlesque performances featured in this period drama provide a sharp contrast to the real-world prejudice and censorship that ultimately brought the burlesque era to an end.

*Closing* June 7th, 2025

Blue/Orange

Antrim Playhouse

Tappan

Set in a London Psychiatric Hospital in the year 2000, Blue/Orange is a provocative drama with a dark comic edge that explores issues of mental health, class status, power and racial prejudices in a failing UK National Health System.

Running July 25th – August 10th, 2025

Miracle on South Division Street 

Penguin Rep Theatre

Stony Point

16 years after its world premiere at Penguin, the Miracle returns. Their neighborhood may be depressed, but not the Nowak family who always thought they were special.
