SUMMARY:How My Grandparents Fell in Love
DESCRIPTION:A Timeless Romance Blooms in the Shadow of History: “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” at NJ Rep\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Jersey’s vibrant arts scene consistently offers captivating experiences\, and this summer\, theater enthusiasts are in for a treat with the world premiere of “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” at the New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) in Long Branch. This heartwarming new musical\, with book and lyrics by Cary Gitter and music and lyrics by Neil Berg\, promises to transport audiences to a pivotal moment in history\, all while celebrating the enduring power of love. \n\n\n\nUnder the skillful direction of SuzAnne Barabas\, “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” takes us back to 1933 in Rovno\, Poland. Here\, we meet Charlie\, a Polish-born Jew who\, after a decade in America\, returns to his homeland with a singular purpose: to find a bride. His journey leads him to Chava\, a spirited young woman working in a hat shop\, whose deepest desire is to become a scholar. Their burgeoning connection is the heart of the story\, a tender romance unfolding against the stark and unsettling backdrop of rising anti-Semitism across Europe. This historical context provides a powerful layer to their personal dreams\, creating a narrative that is both intimate and deeply resonant. \n\n\n\nThe production boasts a talented cast bringing this compelling story to life. Harris Milgrim steps into the role of Charlie\, while Becca Suskauer embodies Chava. Behind the scenes\, the creative team further elevates the experience: Jordan Ryder’s choreography adds an expressive dimension\, Aaron Benham leads the musical direction\, and the visual landscape is meticulously crafted by Jessica Parks (Set Design)\, Jill Nagle (Lighting Design)\, and Patricia E. Doherty (Costume Design). Nick Simone’s sound design\, Rose Riccardi as Production Stage Manager\, and Ian Duhart as Assistant Stage Manager ensure a seamless performance. Matthew Lowy serves as Music Supervisor\, with Janey Huber as Assistant Lighting Design and James Lockhart as Master Electrician\, all contributing to the rich tapestry of this production. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re looking for a poignant love story\, a glimpse into a crucial historical period\, or simply an exceptional theatrical performance\, “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” offers a unique and engaging experience. The show runs from July 17th to August 10th\, 2025. Performances are scheduled for Thursdays at 7:00 PM\, and Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays with both 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM showings. The running time is approximately 2 hours\, including a brief intermission. Please note\, the production carries an advisory for Adult\, Teen\, and Pre-Teen audiences due to adult language\, sexual themes\, and violence. \n\n\n\nThis musical delves into powerful themes of love\, resilience\, and the human spirit’s ability to endure amidst historical upheaval. Early critical responses highlight the charm and heartwarming nature of Charlie and Chava’s love story\, acknowledging the masterful way it interweaves with the looming historical realities. While the performances and musical elements have received significant praise\, the production is noted for its ongoing development in seamlessly blending its romantic core with the gravity of its historical setting. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss the opportunity to witness this impactful new work.

SUMMARY:Man of La Mancha
DESCRIPTION:Dream the Impossible Dream with “Man of La Mancha” at Music Mountain Theatre! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrepare to be transported to a world of idealism\, courage\, and timeless melodies as Music Mountain Theatre proudly presents “Man of La Mancha\,” one of the most beloved and enduring musicals in theatrical history. This powerful production\, inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ epic 17th-century masterpiece Don Quixote\, invites audiences to witness a profound story of conviction set against the dramatic backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition. \n\n\n\n“Man of La Mancha” masterfully weaves a play-within-a-play\, as Cervantes finds himself imprisoned and facing trial. To defend himself and his fellow inmates\, he enacts the extraordinary tale of Alonso Quijana\, an elderly gentleman who\, in his “madness\,” renames himself the chivalrous knight “Don Quixote” and sets forth on a noble quest to right the world’s wrongs. This celebrated musical\, which garnered five Tony Awards including Best Musical in its original 1965 Broadway run\, speaks to the power of imagination and the human spirit’s indomitable will to find beauty and purpose\, even in the bleakest of circumstances. \n\n\n\nAudiences will be swept away by the rousing\, Spanish-inflected score\, which features iconic and unforgettable numbers such as “The Impossible Dream\,” “I\, Don Quixote\,” “Dulcinea\,” “I Really Like Him\,” and “Little Bird.” These songs have resonated with millions\, becoming anthems for those who dare to reach for a world that “should be” rather than merely accepting the world “as it is.” \n\n\n\nImportant Information for Our Guests: \n\n\n\n\nContent Warning: Please be advised that “Man of La Mancha” contains theatrical haze/fog\, explores mature themes\, includes references to bodily harm\, and features scenes of both emotional and physical intensity.\n\n\n\nRecommended Age: This production is recommended for ages 13 and up\, ensuring an appropriate experience for all attendees.\n\n\n\n\nPerformance Schedule: \n\n\n\n\nDates: August 8th – August 24th\n\n\n\nEvening Performances: Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 PM\n\n\n\nMatinee Performances: Saturdays & Sundays at 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nGroup Savings Available!
