Cornerstone Productions Second Hit at Mystic…..

For those of us from the center who has enjoyed the numerous performances with Cornerstone Productions owners-Production and Artistic managers, Hunter Charnow and Karl Gasteyer and the many talented actors and actresses for over 6 years now, we are extremely excited for them, as they opened their “home-town” theater here at The Old Mystick Village. We recently went to visit them at their new theater and can honestly say they have become a great, “hit” with all of us. We look forward to upcoming shows in the Fall & Winter. Their professional actors and actresses certainly exceed our expectations over & over again with each new performance! Their multi-talented cast of performers are full of humor, wit, beautiful singing voices and dance routines that you could usually, only find on Broadway!

That’s right…..we have them right here with us in Mystic, Ct. now!! Our next day trip outing to see their next performance, “Fly Me To The Moon”, and Mohegan Sun, ( Free bet & free buffet) ,will be on October 14th.
