This Friday, Stone Soup Theatre kicks-off its 2012 season with Wdeunfrol Wdors - 8 Vignettes by Shel Silverstein and David Ives. Here's a synposis: Stone Soup Theatre opens its 2012 season with a vibrant slate of one acts featuring the darkly comic wit of Shel Silverstein juxtaposed with the absurdly wry humor of David Ives. The result is a truly unique theatrical experience where we realize that sometimes saying the right thing can be very wrong. Enjoy the quirky wit of…

There's a bit of the voyeur in all of us, isn't there? A draw to those certain pieces of literature that offer a glimpse into someone else's private tragedy or sorrow. Horton Foote's Pulitzer Prize-winning play gives the audience more than a glimpse--its characters break down the human condition blatantly, emphatically and simply. I could touch their pain and feel the tension. I wanted to move the few feet from my seat onto the set of the Kidder family living room and…

We caught up with Wallingford's own Misty Montaigne for breakfast at Julia's recently and got the scoop: Wallyhood: So where did the idea for the show…
Stone Soup Theatre announces The Double (XX) Fest, a festival of plays written and directed exclusively by women, April 7 - April 24th. And no, get your head out of the gutter.

The (XX) Fest continues in the tradition of the now-defunct Mae West Fest, which ran for nearly a decade. But the (XX) Fest goes a step further. It's a…
