R U For Sale?
Story by Lawrence F. Cutrone

To everyone who knew him Billy was a lifelong "Goof-Off" with little to  no ambition and a whole lot of "attitude". Then one day he reads and then answers a newspaper ad that promises to change his life forever! The only problem is he has no idea what he has to do. The ad is completely shrouded in mystery and only by his going to the open interview will he find his "destiny"!

She Loves Me "Knot"!
Written by Lawrence F. Cutrone

She Loves Me "Knot" is a black comedy that follows the life and times of Bobby Barone. Bobby is the typical below average teenager from your typical below average family. His only goals are to graduate high school, get his diploma, and not get beat up. However, that changes when Bobby meets the school "Princess" Laurie. She has everything Bobby wants in a girl: looks, charm, grace, maturity and is perfect except for one thing......she's in love with somebody else who just happens to be the toughest guy in the school!  In the end, Bobby and Laurie learn that you can never out wish, out think, out plan, out run, or out smart a life time governed by fate.

Donations Gratefully Accepted

BIDDER 70 centers on an extraordinary, ingenious and effective act of civil disobedience demanding government and industry accountability. Follow Tim, a member of the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City, in his evolution as a leader and in his willingness to courageously accept the consequences of his action. In 2008, University of Utah economics student Tim DeChristopher committed an act which would redefine patriotism in our time, igniting a spirit of civil disobedience in the name of climate justice. His story is inspiring and motivating a new generation of activists...​​.

Follow Tim, who was Bidder #70, from college student to incarcerated felon. Redefine justice for yourself. Choose your side.

Happy 80th Birthday, King Kong!

KingKong.jpg

Sunday
April  7,  2013  at 
3 PM

Admission:  $10

King Kong is a pre-Code 1933 American monster/adventure film directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. The screenplay by James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose was from an idea conceived by Cooper and Edgar Wallace. It stars Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot and Robert Armstrong, and opened to rave reviews.

The film tells of a gigantic island-dwelling ape creature called Kong who dies in an attempt to possess a beautiful young woman. To see the trailer for this film please visit http://youtu.be/_CSLN23h3Lo

King Kong opened at the 6,200-seat Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the 3,700-seat RKO Roxy across the street on Thursday, March 2, 1933. Crowds lined up around the block on opening day and, in its first four days, every one of its ten-shows-a-day were sold out – setting an all-time attendance record for an indoor event. The film had its official world premiere on March 23, 1933 at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The film opened nationwide on April 7, 1933.

"In the grand tradition of the English Rock opera, a la Tommy, Quadrophenia, The Wall and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,
Epigene presents a new rock opera for the 21st century: A Wall Street Odyssey. Yossarian, (from Joseph Heller’s seminal book,
Catch 22) is reborn as a burned out stockbroker on a path of self-destruction, rebirth and transcendence. The show includes
live music, costumes, narration and videos on a giant screen. Don't miss this modern hero's journey in what Keyboard
Magazine described as “part populist manifesto and part social commentary, rich with melodic and lyrical vision…”

Admission: $12

"The Beautiful Project" was created by Michael Ciavatta, a 21-year-old Hackettstown resident, in 2009. The project is a collection of local artists from northwest New Jersey working towards a common goal of acceptance, love and equality for all. The goal is to change and unify the community by inspiring equality and acceptance through art.

Each performance by the project will include different performances of music and poetry as well as other performance art commenting on issues of bullying, gender roles, sexuality, religion, orientation, creed and race. Each artist will share their personal experiences.

The audience will be encouraged to participate and share their fears and insecurities in order to overcome what holds them back.
The admission fee helps to cover the costs of running the project.
