Directed by Charlotte Cohn\, this electrifying production marks the New Jersey premiere of a play that’s already stirred thought-provoking conversations in New York and beyond. \n\n\n\nSet in a not-so-distant future\, Walden follows Stella\, a former NASA botanist\, and her fiancĆ© Bryan\, as they await a visit from her estranged twin sister Cassie—fresh off a triumphant moon mission. As the sisters confront long-buried tensions from their childhoods and diverging worldviews\, a powerful question hangs in the air: Should humanity’s future remain rooted on Earth\, or reach for the stars? \n\n\n\nWith stunning design elements and emotionally charged performances\, Walden is a beautifully crafted blend of science fiction\, psychological drama\, and intimate storytelling. It’s a play that resonates deeply in our current age of climate urgency\, space exploration\, and personal reckoning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nšŸ’« Performance Schedule\n\n\n\n\nPreview Night: Thursday\, September 4 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nOpening Night: Friday\, September 5 @ 7:30 PM (Tickets: $53)\n\n\n\n\nRegular Show Dates: \n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 6 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 7 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 12 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 13 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 14 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 18 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 19 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 20 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 21 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nšŸŽØ Creative Team Behind the Vision\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Charlotte Cohn\n\n\n\nSet Design: David M.

Hearing enhancers are also provided at the tech booth for every performance\, on a first-come\, first-served basis (quantities are limited). \n\n\n\nPrepare for a deeply moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience with ā€œParade\,ā€ the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical. This powerful production delves into a dark chapter of America’s past\, exploring the true story of Leo Frank\, a Jewish factory manager wrongly accused of murder in 1913 Georgia amidst a backdrop of rampant religious intolerance\, political injustice\, and racial tension. \n\n\n\nWith a compelling book by the celebrated playwright Alfred Uhry\, known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning ā€œDriving Miss Daisy\,ā€ and a magnificent\, haunting score by the three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (composer of ā€œSongs For a New World\,ā€ ā€œThe Last Five Years\,ā€ and ā€œThe Bridges of Madison Countyā€)\, ā€œParadeā€ is a masterclass in storytelling. It meticulously examines how prejudice and fear can distort justice\, while simultaneously celebrating the enduring power of love and hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. \n\n\n\nThe musical is based on the infamous 1913 trial and subsequent lynching of Leo Frank. Frank\, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Atlanta\, was accused of killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan\, an employee at the factory he managed. Fueled by sensationalist media and rampant antisemitism\, the trial became a national scandal. Despite inconsistencies in testimony and a lack of credible evidence\, Frank was convicted. His death sentence was later commuted by the governor\, leading to his abduction from prison and lynching by an angry mob. ā€œParadeā€ powerfully brings this harrowing narrative to the stage\, reminding audiences of the dangers of unchecked bigotry and the fight for truth. \n\n\n\nImportant Note: This production is best suited for mature audiences aged 17 and above due to its exploration of sensitive historical themes\, strong language\, and mature content. \n\n\n\nBooking Information: To secure your tickets\, simply select your desired date and time\, then choose your seats.
