Goodspeed Musicals Exciting News: Goodspeed's New Actor Housing to break ground in November! We will be posting throughout the process so check back often for updates and photos. For more information and full color renderings of the project visit our website.

New York actor Ron Wisniski stands in front of the Lawton House, part of existing housing on Goodspeed Opera House's campus. He once lived in the Lawton House for five months. New, proposed housing for actors will provide them with more space. (TIA ANN CHAPMAN, HARTFORD COURANT / October 16, 2009)

I find it interesting that this article focuses completely on the the comforts of the Actors, however, if you compare the housing that is provided for them right now with the housing provided for the Goodspeed Apprentices, one would wonder why so much of the new building project is focused on actor comfort. Why didn't any part of this article talk more about the "technicians" vaguely refrenced and how this building project inadvertantly upgrades their living situation?

Screamingly funny! Downright hilarious! Comedy reigns when a thorou...ghly disarming slave named Pseudolus schemes to gain his freedom by helping his master’s son get the girl he desires. It’s an accelerating whirl of mixed identities, swinging doors, double takes, double entendres, outrageous puns and gags that will keep you laughing all the way home. Winner of tons of Tony Awards including Best Musical.
