A Note from Carl Wallnau, Artistic Director -
July 2007

Dear Theatre Lover,

Carl Wallnau - Artistic Director - Click to larger imageFrom the New York Times to the Newark Star Ledger, the critics are in agreement; nobody does it better! Centenary Stage Company will continue its tradition of presenting classic theatrical treasures by opening its season with another timeless classic comedy, School for Wives October 5 through 21, 2007. The CSC Classic Comedy Series continues with this riotously funny gem from the 17th century by Molière.

CSC second play of the season takes place Christmas Eve and it's only 105 degrees in the shade. Welcome to French New Guiana where paroled convicts from the local penal colony move about with relative freedom. My Three Angels takes a warm witty romantic look at our long-standing moral convictions of what is right and what is wrong. My Three Angels is an old fashioned and wonderfully crafted fable to take home for the Holidays. My Three Angels will be performed Nov. 23-Dec. 9, 2007.

The CSC season wouldn't be complete without the annual World premiere of a new play form the Women Playwrights developmental series. CSC will end its season with Eugenie Chan's Daphne Does Dim Sum that will premiere at CSC Feb. 22 - Mar. 9, 2008. What happens when two Chinese mavens slug it out over who has the best shrimp puffs, the best date for the dance, the best "Hong Kong" ring, and who will pay the check? "Mai Dan!" happens of course! Don't miss this delightful new play by San Francisco playwright, Eugenie Chan.

In addition to our usual assortment of dynamic stage productions, we also celebrate the performing arts with a concert series that will include The NJ Ballet, acoustic blues guitarist Guy Davis, composer/singer/songwriter Jeffrey Gaines, and the classical guitar duo La Vita Williams - again, this season offers variety and something for everyone!

Women Playwrights Series Through a playwright residency and workshop program sponsored in part by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, each year WPS showcases new works by woman playwrights in a developmental program that offers each playwright the opportunity to work for a short, intense rehearsal period with professional directors, actors, and staff, mounting and rewriting the play for a public forum. Each workshop performance, open to the public at no charge, is an exciting exchange of new ideas, public feedback and conversation with the playwright, which can inspire subtle and defining alterations to the script for the final rewrite. Mark your calendar for the dates: Wed. April 9th, 16th and 23rd.

With an ambition to be the best and to serve our community, the Centenary Performing Arts Guild has established itself as an excellent, year-round cultural resource for our region, with professional music, theatre and dance events, as well as classes for the public, workshops, and educational programming.

The intimate 174 seat Centenary Theatre offers the perfect venue for an exciting Theatrical experience, and we have a subscription plan available for every schedule. Ordering is as easy as ever.  The concert events can be purchased individually or as a part of a subscription ticket covering the season. Use our secure Online Ordering System or print and fill out the Print Order form, return it, and join us for what we know is going to be another exciting season.

Sincerely,

Carl Wallnau
Artistic Director
