Goodbye Yogi!

Nobody Don't Like Yogi closed last night at the Playhouse, and the DTF staff joined Teddy Coluca and his family after the final performance for a farewell pizza party in the theater.

We'll miss you, Teddy/Yogi!

Today, the entire staff is hard at work preparing for this Thursday's opening of The Dining Room.

The Verdict is in.... Nobody Don't Like Yogi!

Nobody Don't Like Yogi, our first production of Summer 2008, opened on Friday night at the Playhouse, playing to a crowd of well over 100 satisfied patrons! After taking his bow and enjoying a standing ovation, our star Teddy Coluca, joined the audience and DTF's cast, crew, and staff for a celebration.

This Saturday, June 21st, the Festival will honor John with a public reception before the 8pm curtain of Nobody Don't Like Yogi. Stop by between 5:30 and 7:30 on Saturday evening, meet John, and partake of free wine and hors d'oeuvre. We hope to see you there!

Road Trip to Bennington

On Friday, June 13th, Teddy Coluca - star of Nobody Don't Like Yogi - threw out the first pitch at the Bennington Bombers game. Check out this video of his fantastic throw!

Teddy must have brought the Bombers good luck. They won the game, beating the Glens Falls Golden Eagles 9-3.

Following the pitch, Teddy and Artistic Director Carl Forsman stopped by the Bennington Museum for the Opening of the Museum's baseball exhibits. After performing an excerpt from Yogi and enjoying some delicious popcorn and root beer, the Festival's "road team" headed back north to Dorset!

Nobody Don't Like Yogi starts performances June 19 at the Dorset Playhouse. Click here for tickets!
