The New Colony

I’ve been to a few shows and will gladly come to more in the future.
The New Colony is fresh and inventive and is appealing to a Millennial audience that might not have a habit of theater-​going.
The material is ripped from the headlines but also is thoughtful.
Overall I feel like the acting is good and the productions are put together quite well. The ticket prices are very affordable, making it a great way to spend an evening. And you’ll know you’re supporting local theater and local people, not some corporate concept like Broadway in Chicago.

We saw kate and sam are not breaking up last night and greatly enjoyed it. The acting was spot on, the set convincing, and the whole evening delightful and moving. I would have given this 5 stars if the theatre hadn’t been freezing. Bring a sweater folks.

Partner and I attended the Saturday performance of «The Bear Suit of Happiness» and we loved it. I had read the review in the Trib and we like to support GLBTQ supportive groups so I bought tickets (or, as we learned at the end of the performance, «passes» which are good for the duration of the run). The funny parts were hilarious, the more touching moments drew a tear from this member of the audience. While I thought the character of Woody was a little too dour the actor portrayed him very plausibly. (WWII was a bit before my time but I can extrapolate the state of the closet before my passing residence). All the actors were excellent; the music was excellent; the usher was adorable. We’re looking forward to future productions.

Hi. I have been watching New Colony Shows since before they were officially called The New Colony and I can tell you that they are a conscientious group of artists who create top rate, original musicals as well as stirring and original non-​musical productions. They may be hard to locate, as New Colony’s talented young ensemble try and match venue to show and therefore move about the city quite a bit. Their latest musical «Tupperware, an American Musical Fable» will soon be relaunched at the Royal George and it is an amazing show. I’ve also seen a sneak of their forthcoming piece «Calls To Blood» and it promised to be just as unique and bizarre as anything else this company has produced in the past. Very much recommended!
