Saratoga Shakespeare Company's expanded summer season is a celebration of "Love, Laughs and Swordplay" as part of Shakespeare’s 400th Legacy Anniversary Year. That includes productions of "Cyrano," along with one of the company’s most requested of Shakespeare’s plays, "Romeo & Juliet." As the World Turns actress Yvonne Perry stars as Lady Capulet in the later, after recently playing Benvolio in "Cyrano."

David Girard is directing "Romeo & Juliet," which opened on Tuesday, August 2nd and runs through Sunday, August 7th. Performances are at 6 p.m. through Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

According to the official website, this "fresh take on 'Romeo & Juliet' will allow the actors to interact with the audience in a totally new way, take on more than one character and create multiple layers of interpretation. Director David Girard spins the text in a deliciously innovative way, redistributing lines and reinterpreting age old characters while never undermining the heart and history of the matter. The staging will be inventive and clever as the company will use Congress Park in unexpected ways. All ages are welcome."

Daytime Alums Robert Newman and Yvonne Perry Star in 'Naked Influence' at Capital Repertory Theatre

Suzanne Bradbeer’s "Naked Influence," a new play about a woman’s singular journey, makes its world premiere at Capital Repertory Theatre, January 22-February 14. Two daytime drama alums will star: Guiding Light's Robert Newman and As the World Turns' Yvonne Perry.

In "Naked Influence," Lucy (played by Amanda Sykes) likes the money she makes as a stripper, as well as the command over her customers, the governmental sway of her hips. But she also likes her new beau, a handsome young D.C. cop who doesn’t know about her craft, hell, her calling. And she likes the idea of finally pursuing the English degree that whispered in her ear even before she began twirling the pole for tips. But when Dennis (Newman), a Washington power broker, steps into the club and walks into her life, everything changes.

Perry returns to theREP as Angie, the bar manager, housemom and former dancer who looks out for Lucy and keeps tabs on her regulars.

"Naked Influence," set, in large part, in an upscale gentleman’s club, shares with its forebear a unique tension, crisp dialogue and a keen eye for today’s social climate.

“This play puts polarizing forces together,” says theREP’s Producing Artistic Director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, who is also directing the show. “Lucy and Dennis both feel they have control of their lives, but their behavior, reckless to some eyes, puts them on a collision course with reality that is great theatre and food for thought."
