originally published: 12/03/2024

(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company's Holiday Spectacular: A Christmas Carol: The Musical continues its run in the Sitnik Theatre with its second week of shows. This is a musical stage adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story, which follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly businessman who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, leading him to confront his actions and transform his life.

The adaptation is faithful to the original story but adds Alan Menken’s signature melodies and moments to bring the tale to life on stage, suitable for the whole family (Please note that Centenary Stage Company does have a minimum age requirement of 5 years old to attend). The musical features lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent.

The production runs until December 15th, with many performance times and dates available, including some weekday matinees. This coming week, performances will take place on Wednesday 12/4 at 2:00pm, Thursday 12/5 at 7:00pm, Friday 12/6 at 8:00pm, Saturday 12/7 at 2:00pm & 8:00pm, and Sunday 12/8 at 2:00pm. Tickets range from $25.00 - $30.00 for adults depending on the performance, with discounts available for students, Seniors (65+), and Children (12 and under) on select performances. Thursday evening performances will feature BOGO tickets at the box office window beginning at 5:00pm on the day of that performance.

Small

'Small' Brings Big Energy to George Street Playhouse

When thinking about occupations kids say they want when they get older, a list comes to mind – doctor, superhero, firefighter, etc. But not many would find their passion at the horse racing track and say they want to become a jockey. In "Small," an autobiographical play written and performed by Robert "Bobby" Montano, the story follows Montano as he races and fulfills his dream on the horse racing tracks of Long Island, New York. It does not stop there, however. The 90-minute play is a story of love, loss and more as Montano grapples with some difficult life decisions.
