• The theater company Northeast Stage has been producing shows in the area surrounding Greenport for 40 years now, making a name for itself through its Shakespeare productions. But the company, founded in 1983 by a team including Tony Award-winning actress Peg Murray and Amie Sponza, also has a rich history of producing offbeat and experimental plays, and this December they’re offering an alternative to the traditional holiday fare, a new play by local playwright James Pritchard, “Lessons from Hollywood,” running from Dec. 5 through 14 at Greenport's Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. It’s the first production Northeast Stage has embarked on after Ms. Sponza agreed for the company to absorb the upstart Corchaug Repertory Theatre. Read More.
