🎭 PLAYS OF WILTON! PRESENTS PAUL RUDNICK’S THE NEW CENTURY 🎭 Meet the people you’d never invite to the same party… and thank goodness someone did. Plays of Wilton! (POW!) presents Paul Rudnick’s The New Century, a wildly funny comedy bursting with unforgettable characters, outrageous laughs and enough heart to surprise you. Smart, silly and gloriously over-the-top, The New Century brings together a group of people who could hardly seem more different — until Rudnick reveals just how much they have in common. There’s Helene, an outspoken Long Island mother who proudly proclaims herself the “most loving mother of all time” to her three children; Mr. Charles, an extravagantly theatrical gay man who has retreated to Palm Beach after discovering that a younger generation of gay men finds him “too gay”; and Barbara Ellen, a Midwestern craftswoman whose cheerful collection of handmade creations masks the profound loss of a son to AIDS. Their stories begin separately but ultimately collide in unexpected and hilarious circumstances as Rudnick asks where this “new century” might be heading — and who gets to come along for the ride. The result is unmistakably Paul Rudnick: rapid-fire one-liners, outrageous characters and fearless comedy wrapped around something far more poignant — a look at LGBTQ+ identity across generations, the families we are born into and create for ourselves, and the ways humor can help us survive grief, prejudice and change. When The New Century premiered at Lincoln Center Theater in 2008, critics quickly recognized Rudnick’s ability to combine outrageous comedy with genuine emotional weight. 🚀 The New York Times: “The one-liners fly like rockets.” 😂 TheaterMania: “A laugh on every line.” 💥 New York Post: “Gut-busting one-liners.” Rudnick has said that he never intended The New Century to feel like simply a collection of unrelated one-act plays, but rather stories that “intertwine” and build into a complete theatrical experience. Funny, provocative, touching and proudly excessive, The New Century is a comedy about people carrying the experiences of one generation into the next — the losses, the battles, the absurdities, the hard-won freedoms and, above all, the laughter. POW! alumni returning to The Foundry include Beverly Blanchette, Michael Gillespie, Betty Ann Hunt Strain and John Provasnik, along with director Greg Schuh. Making her POW! mainstage debut is Stephanie Manner. “Paul Rudnick manages to be outrageous, smart and incredibly funny while still finding the heart underneath all those laughs,” said Joseph Guidetti, Associate Producer of Plays of Wilton! “The New Century feels like a perfect POW! play — unapologetically gay, a little outrageous, and ultimately about people finding a way to understand and love one another.” “I first came to know Paul Rudnick through the movie Jeffrey, but once I discovered his plays, I fell in love with his writing,” said director Greg Schuh. “His work is an actor’s and director’s dream — funny, fearless and deeply emotional — and The New Century takes us on a wonderful ride through growing up, loving, coming out and being loved.” 🎭 THE NEW CENTURY ✍️ Written by Paul Rudnick 🎬 Directed by Greg Schuh 📅 October 2–25, 2026 📍 The Foundry at Plays of Wilton! 🕗 Thursday through Saturday at 8 PM 🕒 Sunday at 3 PM 🎟️ Tickets: https://app.tickettailor.com/events/ronnielarsenpresents/2329837 🔞 Suitable for ages 18+ Brief male nudity

Zombie Temps from Outer Space: The Musical manages to be like a lot of things and somehow also manages to be unlike everything else. It's a zombie horror. It's a deep look at the hopelessness of life with a college degree and no job prospects. It's a physical comedy. It's an alien invasion mystery. It's an indictment of stifling corporate culture. For all the conspiracy theorists out there, it'll confirm your beliefs that pop culture is the key to seeing the imminent apocalypse. This one's definitely for you if you love ridiculous characters, even more ridiculous plot twists, all delivered in a hilarious, cheap-on-purpose style ala Monty Python or Team America. Recommended for ages 12+

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility… hmm, are you sure? What the Constitution Means to Me is a boundary-breaking play blending personal memoir with constitutional analysis. Heidi Schreck needed money for college. To raise funds for tuition she became a Constitutional debater, tackling complex issues and critically examining the Constitution’s impact on women, specifically the four generations of women in her own family. She connected it to themes of domestic violence, immigration, and civil rights. The script explores how this foundational document both fails and protects individuals, ultimately questioning how it can evolve for future generations. Content rating: Mature due to topics such as sex trafficking, rape, sexual assault, mental health disorders and abortion.
