EVENT PREVIEWS

(BEACH HAVEN, NJ) -- Surflight Theatre presents The Great American Trailer Park Musical from September 18-28, 2024. There's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres—and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park. The Great American Trailer Park Musical features a Book by Betsy Kelso and Music & Lyrics by David Nehls.

 

ON-GOING EVENTS

(MADISON, NJ) -- Long before Bridgerton sparked desires and ignited our screens, a young, new writer set the hearts of England ablaze with the deep longing of her compelling characters. Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility tells the captivating tale of the Dashwood sisters as they attempt to navigate financial strife, would-be suitors, and the rigid edicts of English society following the death of their father. Jessica Swale’s elegant stage adaptation of this beloved classic overflows with humor and style. The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will present Sense and Sensibility at their F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University from September 4-22, 2024.
