The Centennial Theater is located in the heart of the sprawling campus of North Simsbury's Westminster School.
It has about 150 or so seats on the floor and a three tiered wrap around balcony. For the last twelve years, Centennial has been the home of the Simsbury Summer Theater's annual show.
By my count, I've seen at least ten shows here, starting with Cinderella in 2005. Tonight, we saw a wonderful version of the Music Man.
When I was a kid, the Music Man movie was on TV a lot, and I thought the fast-talking swindling con man played by Robert Preston was very cool. Tonight's version, performed by scores of young talented singing and dancing actors was stellar.
How fortunate for all of us that the Westminster School so generously offers their beautiful venue to benefit youth theater. read more
