"RFK" at Music Theatre of CT!

NORWALK, CT – Music Theatre of Connecticut MainStage,
Fairfield County's professional award-winning theatre company continues its 34th
Season with RFK, the story of Robert
F. Kennedy and his growth from husband and father to grieving brother and
finally to Democratic Presidential candidate when he was infamously
assassinated. RFK will run October 23rd–November 8th with performances on Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm
and Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm.

RFK is a one-man
show that recounts the story of
Robert F. Kennedy who by late summer, 1964, was a deeply wounded man. Still in
shock and consumed with grief and guilt over the assassination of his older
brother, President John F. Kennedy, on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, he
was at a crossroads. The 1964 presidential election was approaching and
President Lyndon Johnson, who had been dangling the possibility of a
vice-presidential role to RFK, finally called Kennedy over to the White House
to tell him his decision. The result of that meeting and the subsequent
direction for the next, and last, four years of Robert Kennedy’s life are the
focus of this play.

RFK stars Chris Manuel
who has previously been involved in both Ragtime
and Jekyll & Hyde at MTC as
Houdini and Stride, respectively. Other regional credits include Billy Bigelow
in Carousel at Summer Theatre of New
Canaan, Eddie Lawrence in Shear Madness at
Totem Pole Playhouse and Clopin in The
Hunchback of Notre Dame at New Paradigm Theatre.

As one of three theatres in the country to be given
permission to host indoor events via the approval of the state of CT and
Actor’s Equity Association, MTC has been following strict health & safety
protocols to assure the safety of the audience, crew, staff, and actors. As of
October 8th, Governor Lamont has progressed the state into Phase 3
allowing indoor venues to increase from 25% capacity to 50% capacity. MTC is
thrilled to safely host 53 audience members in the theatre while continuing our
Live Stream option where patrons not yet comfortable coming back to the theatre
can watch the performance from their home, live as it’s happening. For more
