Actors and actresses from around the county have helped make this production magical, says Director Larry Landsman.
It's opening night for the Bergen County Players' production of Meredith Willson's Tony Award winning play "The Music Man." "It's a beautiful production," said Director Larry Landsman, of Wyckoff. "There is no bigger undertaking than bringing "The Music Man," an American classic, to the stage." Saturday night's production is the culmination of four months of hard work, hundreds of hours of technical effort and plenty of dedication, Landsman said. "This is the biggest show we've ever put on our stage, some folks were wondering if we could even do this show," Landsman said. "It's truly been a team effort." The cast includes actors from Oradell, Glen Rock, Westwood, Hillsdale, Fort Lee, New Milford, Wyckoff, Montclair and beyond. Ridgewood's…

The second production of the Bergen County Players 79th Season is Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Community theatre and high drama are not something most people would put together. Most view them as mutually exclusive. The Bergen County Players are in their 79th season, and not only are they putting on high drama, but they are putting it on with impressive skill and professionalism. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was written by Edward Albee in the early 1960’s. It won both the Tony Award and New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play in 1963. The play was made into a film, also written by Edward Albee, and was a major vehicle for Elizabeth Taylor. The title, for those unfamiliar, can be misleading. Author Virginia Woolf is in no part of the show, save name only. But the title is repeating in song all throughout the show, …
