ActorsNet in Morrisville presents A Delicate Balance
A Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by Edward Albee brings a “nameless fear” to the Heritage Center stage as ActorsNET presents A Delicate Balance on weekends from Jan. 27 to Feb. 12.“It’s a cautionary tale of deep insecurities, viciousness, and dysfunction that the characters seekto bury under faux pleasantries,” said producer Karolina Matyka. “It really makes you think whether ornot you truly know yourself and those around you, and whether you are enjoying your life or justenduring it.”
Cat Miller, the play’s director and newly appointed General Manager of the NET, hopes that theshow will inspire the audiences “to remember that the examined life may require more work and riskmore pain, but it is ultimately worth so much more in the end.”
GO: Heritage Center Theatre, 635 North Delmorr Ave., Morrisville. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour before show time. For tickets or additional information, visit the web site: www.actorsnetbucks.org.
Christy Altomare kicks off season at Bucks County Playhouse
Broadway’s sweetheart and Yardley native Christy Altomare will return to Bucks County Playhouse next month with a new solo concert. Altomare sold out two performances with her solo concert debut at the Playhouse in 2022. She will appear for one night only on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 8 pm. Tickets are on sale now at www.buckscountyplayhouse.org or by contacting the box office at 215.862.2121.
Altomare originated the role of Anya in the Broadway production of “Anastasia” for which she received the Theatre World Award and was nominated for an Outer Critics Award and a Drama Desk Award for lead actress in a musical. She made her Broadway debut playing the role of Sophie Sheridan in “Mamma Mia!” Off- Broadway, Christy portrayed the role of Sue Snell in MCC’s revival of “Carrie the Musical.”
"We love Bucks’ own Christy Altomare … back for the first time since she reunited with her middle school boyfriend at the Playhouse. His proposal a few months later on our steps, and their story-book wedding, were featured in ‘People’ magazine and became a social media sensation,” says Alexander Fraser, Bucks County Playhouse Producing Director. “Now she’s back with a new show featuring the extraordinary Ben Ruahala at the piano. The perfect Broadway Valentine to make February sing!”
