All My Sons at RLTP
In the printed program, Road Less Traveled Productions Artistic Executive Director Scott Behrend said that he waited 20 years to bring Arthur Miller’s All My Sons to that stage to give Lisa Vitrano time to age into the mother’s role. Eight years ago, she was the snarky neighbor Sue in Irish Classical Theatre Company’s production. … Continue reading All My Sons at RLTP
Season 20 For Road Less Traveled
If the title – Murder Ballad - isn’t a dead giveaway, the narrator of this story tells you what’s going to happen in the opening number: someone is going to die. And that's how Road Less Traveled Productions is kicking off its 20th season. The other point of distinction is that this is RLTP’s first … Continue reading Season 20 For Road Less Traveled

Guards at the Taj at Road Less Traveled Productions
I’ve always loved a good buddy story. Butch and Sundance, Thelma and Louise, Oscar and Felix…you get it. One is always solid, pragmatic while the other is more spontaneous, creative, free-falling through life because the other buddy is both the emotional safety net and soft place to land. Road Less Traveled Productions has the ultimate … Continue reading Guards at the Taj at Road Less Traveled Productions
Mysterious Circumstances at Road Less Traveled
Mark Twain was right: Truth is stranger than fiction. In the case of Mysterious Circumstances, sumptuously presented now by Road Less Traveled Productions, an unsolved true crime (or was it?) might be solved by the iconic fictional sleuth who ‘died’ 113 years earlier. Complicated? Not really. OK, maybe a little. Mysterious Circumstances is the true … Continue reading Mysterious Circumstances at Road Less Traveled

Little Women…now…At Last!
Louisa May Alcott’s coming of age chick lit classic Little Women has been required reading since its 1868 publication. Hence, it’s multiple iterations on stage and screen: everyone loves the four plucky sisters of Concord, MA, their stalwart mother, and the men who dance around their periphery of their lives. Except me. I know, some … Continue reading Little Women…now…At Last!
Families and Cultures Clash in Tribes
Families and cultures: sometimes they connect and sometimes they don’t. Tribes, now on stage at Road Less Traveled Theatre, makes that point very clear. Playwright Nina Raine crafted an interesting take on a family story. Parents and two of the three adult children are so wrapped up in their own orbits that they chose not … Continue reading Families and Cultures Clash in Tribes
