The month of November is starting off with a bang when Centenary Stage Company welcomes The New Trad Octet in a Tribute to Sousa Saturday, November 2nd at 8 p.m. at The Lackland Center. This unique band brings a brand new sound with exciting arrangements of the music of John Phillip Sousa, also known as "The March King." The band integrates the music of one of the most popular American musicians of the 20th century with the joyful rhythms of modern Haitian "Kompa" and other Caribbean styles. This century-wide connection ties modern American Culture, with its many Caribbean influences, to a time when concerts in the town square were the social and cultural life for many Americans.

The New Trad Octet tickets are $22.50 for adults and $15 for children under 12 when purchased in advance. All ticket orders for concerts and special events increase $5 when purchased on the day of the performance. This concert is sponsored in part by Heath Village, Wells Fargo Bank, and Home Instead Senior Care.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.centenarystageco.org<http://www.centenarystageco.org/>, at the CSC Box Office in The Lackland Center at 715 Grand Ave in Hackettstown, or by calling 908-979-0900. The Box Office is open Monday through Friday 1-5 p.m., and 2 hours prior to performance times. The Box Office at 217 Main Street in Hackettstown is also open for the season Monday through Friday 3-6 p.m.

The 2013-14 season of performing arts events at the Centenary Stage Company is made possible through the generous support of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the NJ State Council on the Arts, and CSC sponsors, including Premier Sponsor Heath Village Retirement Community, Silver Sponsors Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, The Holiday Inn in Budd Lake, and Fulton Bank, Bronze Sponsors The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and Wells Fargo Bank, and Centenary Stage Company members and supporters.
