Innovative settings and sing-along songs provide the perfect opportunity for involvement and participation in this early theatre-going experience. Each story is precious and provides just the right blend of far-away fantasy and present-day reality. Watch the wonder and magic of live theatre cast its spell on very young viewers as they journey into the imaginary world of Red Riding Hood and other “once upon a time” favorites. Great fun for the entire family!

Our dreams can scare or entice us. Our faith guides us through them to different paths and people. How they are handled in A MATTER OF DREAMS might surprise you. Set primarily in Hoboken, NJ, Adam, who has rejected his Jewish upbringing, and Claire, a mysterious woman, embark on a psychosexual journey into the darkest parts of their desires. This causes problems for Deena, Adam’s best friend, a “single Jewish woman,” who wants to live the Jewish life. Her relationship with Noah, a cultural snob who looks down on Hoboken, becomes emotionally devastating, forcing her to question her own belief in a Jewish family.

Judah Skoff has won various awards, including, the National Playwriting Competition and two New Jersey Governor’s Awards in the Arts. His plays have been performed at the Abingdon Theatre, New York University and other venues. See the premiere of A MATTER OF DREAMS from this up and coming young playwright

More people die by suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge than at any other site in the world. What would cause someone to contemplate jumping from its span or stopping someone from doing so? DAYBREAK is a non-traditional, coming-of-age musical journey, centered on the dark places people go when they feel lost, scared, broken, or alone. Follow two couples as we explore the mysteries that bind them, their relationships, family ties, expectations, dreams, patience and courage.

Bobby Cronin, a three time ASCAP PLUS award recipient, is a NJ based composer/lyricist whose songs are "passionate and powerful in a take-no-prisoners way that will knock your socks off." - Cabaret Exchange. Catch DAYBREAK in its North American premiere this June, by the same people who brought you DISENCHANTED! last June.
