Ariana Straznicky-Packer of Southington (pictured in one of her stunning costumes) is a standout in the role of the teacher Linda Mason in her CTC debut after a decade long hiatus from the musical theater world. With her magnificent singing voice and lovely stage presence, she shines in the role.

Ariana Straznicky is perfect as the sultry Morticia in her Richter debut. The actress offers a surprise in the second act (after the female ancestors help her to transform the black dress “cut down to Venezuela”) which is more than the fact that her character has legs. Straznicky holds a Masters in Music from the Hartt School and shows off her magnificent voice in “Secrets” and “Just Around the Corner.”
