Becky Buller Is Trying to “Save The Princess”

The historic Princess Theatre in Becky Buller’s hometown of St. James, Minnesota is one of those nostalgic main-street icons   It has been a downtown landmark in the small farming community since it was built in 1915 but it is about to experience some changes.  Like everything else these days movie companies are headed down the digital highway. 

What that means for the Princess and thousands of other hometown theatres from Hollywood’s golden era is a costly upgrade to new digital equipment or they’ll never again be able to show a new movie.  

Catching Up With Former Seldom Scene Member Phil Rosenthal!

Hi Everyone,
     

I've got some interesting shows coming up. This Friday, July 15th, I play at Middlesex Community College, Middletown, CT, before the play "Shakespeare's Argument", presented by ARTFARM. My music will start at 6, and the play at 7. It's outdoors, weather permitting. 

... Shakespeare, Ice Cream, Puppet Shows, Connecticut River and Phil Rosenthal's Bluegrass, who could ask for more? ...

My son Daniel and I had a good time playing before last year's production. Here's their description of the play:

Eighty percent Shakespeare, twenty percent Argument as a Producer, a Professor, an Actor and a Groundling debate what makes Shakespeare so great. Along the way new light is shed on A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry V, Romeo & Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Measure for Measure, Macbeth and much more. Some of you may even get the chance to be onstage performing in Julius Caesar, and the play culminates in a riveting swordfight between Hamlet and Laertes created by our combat master David Chandler.

It's pay if you can, Middlesex Community College, 100 Training Hill Road, Middletown, CT.
