Cohan, and the dance stylings of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and more. There is comic mayhem in Chrysale’s household as the women of the house rabidly pursue the new intellectual movement of the era. Adding a meek husband, a pretentious poet, a loony sister, a couple of sassy servants completes what some reviewers have called “a giddy evening of theatre!” Special Event HISTORICAL WALK – OCT. 28 TILLIE SMITH PLAY – NOV. 1 Over 100 years ago the murder of a kitchen worker rocketed the town of Hackettstown to national prominence. Many say her ghost still haunts the campus at Centenary. Join us for THE TILLIE WALK on Oct. 28, a narrated historical walk which follows the path of Tillie’s last night alive, followed by a reading of the play TILLIE SMITH (Nov. 1). Reservations requested.
