Attic Ensemble, theater at Barrow Mansion: "Next Fall"

Geoffrey Nauffts’ NEXT FALL takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play’s central story focuses on the five-year relationship between Adam and Luke, NEXT FALL goes beyond a typical love story. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to.

The Attic Ensemble is located in The Barrow Mansion, 83 Wayne Street. Opening night is  November 17th, at 7:00 p.m.

Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge, play at St. Peters college

 at the Roy Irving theater (St. Peters campus Montgomery x JFK Blvd)
Saint Peter's College will be performing a play, "Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge" from tomorrow (Thursday) night at until Saturday night! Every show is at 7PM, with two Saturday shows, one at 2PM and one at 7PM.The show is a comedy guaranteed to make people of all ages laugh. And best of alll, it's free! It will be showing at the Roy Irving Theatre at Saint Peter's College on Montgomery Avenue and JFK Boulevard in Jersey City.

Description:
A sassy ghost once again attempts to shake Scrooge from his holiday humbug, but the whole family-friendly affair is deliciously derailed by Mrs. Cratchit’s drunken insistence on stepping out of her miserable, treacly role. Morals are subverted, starving yet plucky children sing carols, and somebody’s goose is cooked as Durang lovingly skewers A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life, and many more to create a brand-new, cracked Christmas classic.

Please join us this Saturday, November 12, for a special screening of the 1966 Batman movie, presented by NJ Comic Expo in conjunction with their Holy Batvention on November 12 & 13 in Teaneck, NJ.

The live event begins at 7:00 PM and can be attended by purchasing a combo ticket for $15 (which includes movie admission). Those who wish to only see the film can do so at 8:00 PM for $5.

The combo price includes time with Lee Meriwether (the movie's Catwoman). There will be a short video presentation and time to talk with her and any of the other stars who may come from the convention to the Theatre.

The movie will begin at 8:00 PM and will include music from the Wonder Organ as people are let in.


And next Friday and Saturday, November 18-19, we will be remembering the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack with three classic films set during World War II.

Of course, seeing a show at the Loew's is always a lot of fun. But being a part of the volunteer team that puts on the show is an experience you'll never forget! Curious? Read more below, just after this month's film schedule.
