Menopause The Musical

06 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

Wednesday, June 5, 2013, 8 – 10pm

The international hit show Menopause The Musical® has selected Morristown as a ‘hot’ national market and will play Mayo Performing Arts Center on June 5-6. It doesn’t necessarily mean women in Morristown are more prone to symptoms of “The Change.” It does mean they will find joy in sharing their experiences. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at online.mayoarts.org… or by calling 973-539-8008.

Set in a department store, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. The all-female cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage.” It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.

"Tell Me of Lincoln: The Story of Civil War artist James E. Kelly's quest to interview those who knew Abraham Lincoln"

16 Jun 2013 20:30:00 GMT

Sunday, June 16, 2013, 4:30pm

On Sunday June 16th Macculloch Hall Historical Museum welcomes author and historian William B. Styple for a Father’s Day presentation about artist James E. Kelly. Shortly after the Civil War Irish-American sculptor James Edward Kelly (1855-1933) made bronze portraits of over 40 Union Army generals. While the heroes of the war sat for Kelly, the artist interviewed them with intimate questions about the high points of their military careers, and the minute details of their notable battles. During Kelly’s series of interviews he spent time with those who personally knew Abraham Lincoln. Kelly recorded over 60 eyewitness accounts, a never-before-published oral history of the 16th President, which Kelly carefully preserved in his notebooks; detailing Lincoln's physical appearance, personality, and qualities as a statesman during a dark time of national crisis. Mr. Styple will be discussing Kelly's lifetime effort to depict Lincoln accurately "as the embodiment of the spirit of the time as well as the men whom he led in triumph."

CHARLOTTE'S WEB by Joseph Robinette

12 Jul 2013 23:30:00 GMT

Friday, July 12, 2013, 7:30 – 9:15pm

The Shakespeare Initiative in collaboration with the Roxbury Arts Alliance presents Joseph Robinette's play "Charlotte's Web" based on the book by E. B. White for 6 performances at the RoxPAC/Investors Bank Theater, 72 Eyland Ave., Succasunna, NJ.

The Children’s Literature Association named E. B. White’s novel “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling theatrical presentation.

All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.”

This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship. Pure enchantment for audiences of all ages!
