Nosing Around Returns to the Kelsey Theatre

The Maurer Family returns to the Kelsey stage bringing interactive magic, fun and laughter with their popular Nosing Around series.

Originally conceived in 2004, the Nosing Around shows have always been a family affair with Diana, John and their children Stacy, Hunter, and Amanda presenting both classic and original interactive clowning and magic. Their goal is to get the audience involved and the Nosing Around team involves and entertains audiences of all ages.

This eddition contains all the best loved moments from the past shows including the Clown Cycle, The World's Greatest Mind Reader, the World's Best Whip Cracker and the magical Human Cannonball!

Alumni Happenings in July

We take our hats off and salute July as our alumni play it cool in the summer heat.

Evita

Alumnus Daniel Petrovich will be understuding Hollywood actor Dan Roebuck (Matlock, Lost) in the part of Juan Peron in Evita, being presented by Revelation Productions.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice bring the story of Argentina's Eva Peron to the stage. This show is being produced as a vehicle to raise funds for a scholarship in honor of a local high school theatre student who passed away last fall. Hollywood actor Dan Roebuck, a native of Bethlehem PA, will play Peron. Dan Petrovich has been asked to understudy Mr. Roebuck in the event that a schedule conflict arises.

13 the Musical

See Alumnus Zach Levine as Archie in 13 the Musical being produced by Villager's Theater.

This high energy rock musical follows Evan Goldman, a nice Jewish boy from NYC's upper east side who is forced to move to Nowhere, Indiana, with his mother after his parents get a divorce. To make matters worse, Evan is on the verge of being Bar Mitzvahed and has to plan a party in a town where he knows no one. The chaos that ensures is truly hilarious, real and heartfelt. The story of teenage transformation is brought to life on stage as 13 shares dilemmas we can all relate to, young and old. 13 is your typical middle school semester with a heart-warming message . . . perhaps cool is where you find it, or where you least expect it.

Cinderella (Prince Street Players' Version)

See Alumni Marc Flicker as King Darling, III in Cinderella being presented by Stars in the Park at the Kelsey Theatre in West Windsor NJ.

This beloved fairy tale is retold in the style of English pantomime. A young woman triumphs over her nasty, abusive Stepmother and Stepsisters and marries her Prince Charming, thanks to a zany Fairy Godmother, a trip to the Royal Ball in an enchanted coach, and a glass slipper. The Fairy Godmother's two comical helpers keep things moving along in this delightful version of a classic known the world over.

Into the Woods

See Alumni Eric Wishne, Chris Guel,l Jim Petro, John Bergeron, Tess Ammerman, Vicky Czarnik, Jack Petzko and Jack Bathke in Into the Woods being presented by Actors Net.

An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Riding Hood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

Show Dates:
July 9 - 25 2010
