When "M. Butterfly" by David Henry Hwang premiered in 1988, its remarkable story of international espionage and personal betrayal solidified its status as a modern classic. Based on the real-life affair between a French diplomat and a mysterious Chinese opera singer, it blurred the boundaries between male and female, East and West. For the 2017 Broadway Revival Version, Hwang has incorporated new material inspired by details of the relationship that have emerged since the play first seduced audiences. This intoxicating reimagining of M. BUTTERFLY examines the nature of love and the devastating cost of deceit. The play will be directed by Lou Okell. Auditions for 2 dancers, 2 men, and 3 women will be held June 8 & 9. The role of Song Liling will be played by Todd Santa Maria and Miles Everett will play the role of Rene Gallimard (content warning: nudity, suicide).
Shows are at the theatre on Route 25, next to Brookfield Library, on Sept. 12 thru Sept. 27 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Reserved seating tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors 65 and older. They are available online at www.BrookfieldTheatre.org or at the box office. There will also be a free preview on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. for area senior citizens.

Join Stonington Pride at the The Ditty Bag Market and Cafe for an afternoon of self-care and community care and support. These events are usually freeform, so bring whatever craft you're working on, your fav fidget toy, a puzzle, or whatever brings your joy and peace. Sometimes we have more structured events, like making cards for Trans folks, which you're welcome to join in on, or just puzzle and chat if that's not your vibe. Find out what's up on our Facebook or Instagram at StoningtonPride.
This event is open to all lgbtq+ folk and those who love them (that is to say, all are welcome!)We will be snagging coffee or tea from our gracious host, and spending time together building community and enjoying good vibes.
The Ditty Bag is wheelchair accessible, LGBTQ+ friendly, and has various seating options available. If you have any further questions, please let us at Stonington Pride or Jason at the Ditty Bag know.
