Stage shows
Tape Face at the Chubb Theatre on April 13 at 7 p.m. As the name suggests, Tape Face performs with duct tape covering his mouth. While he may be silent, this show will leave you roaring with laughter. With his electric-shock hairstyle, striped shirt and strip of black tape across his mouth, the performer known as TAPE FACE can’t help but leave an impression on audiences. Yet what makes this modern-day master of mime and comedy truly remarkable is the wonder, whimsy and weirdness that fill his one-of-a-kind performances.
“Don’t Talk to the Actors” at Hatbox Theatre until April 16, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. The best laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. Fledgling playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his fiancée are a couple of Buffalo greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned for the big money, ego-driven world of Broadway. It’s a young playwright’s dream, but the crazy characters and dilemmas they encounter are the things theatrical nightmares are made of.
The MET: Live in HD: “Der Rosenkavalier” at the Bank of NH Stage on April 15 at noon. A dream cast assembles for Strauss’s grand Viennese comedy. Soprano Lise Davidsen is the aristocratic Marschallin, opposite mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as her lover, Octavian, and soprano Erin Morley as Sophie, the beautiful younger woman who steals his heart. Bass Günther Groissböck returns as the churlish Baron Ochs, and Markus Brück is Sophie’s wealthy father, Faninal. Maestro Simone Young takes the Met podium to oversee Robert Carsen’s fin-de-siècle staging.
Queen City Improv at the Hatbox Theatre on April 21 at 7:30 p.m. Queen City Improv is Manchester’s finest improv troupe, and they’re bringing their act to the Capital City. Join QCI as they perform a night of goofs, gaffes, and laughs through a never before seen show-every night!
