The Sharon Playhouse in Sharon, Connecticut, opens the 2026 Season with “Swingtime Canteen,” a multi-leveled show that has elements of nostalgia tinged with contemporary relevance.
"A terrific production that touches the heart and the funny bone."
“The performers led by Margaret Dudasik have wonderful and flexible voices as their talent and personalities fly off the stage.”
“A multi-leveled show that has elements of nostalgia tinged with contemporary relevance.”
“Choreography by Krystyna Resavy complements the songs and is also reminiscent of the forties dance styles.”
“Direction by Carl Andress... is upbeat through the lighter moments with a touch of melancholy in the more somber scenes.”
“Several of the actresses also play instruments to accompany the vocals… Their talent and personalities fly off the stage."
“It is 1944 and World War Two is raging around the globe… If you remember or are knowledgeable of the time period, the show will bring back a pastiche of memories and emotions. If this is new to you, enjoy the experience of a bit of American history.”
