Centenary Stage Company Sets Programming For SUMMERFEST 2020

Centenary Stage Company is looking forward to its Summerfest 2020 programming, set to kick off in July. This season's events will include the Broadway Musicals Forever Plaid - July 9 - 19, Mamma Mia - July 30 - August 9, and live concerts with Seamus Egan Project - August 15 and The British Invasion Years - August 22. All performances will take place in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center located at 715 Grand Ave. Hackettstown, NJ.

Jump starting this season's Summerfest is Forever Plaid. This toe-tapping musical tells the story of four guys - Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie - who discover they share a love for music and band together to become as great as their former idols. On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at this moment, when their careers and lives end, the story of Forever Plaid begins.... Specific performance dates and times include: Thursdays, July 9 and 16 at 7:30 PM; Fridays, July 10 and 17 at 8:00 PM; Saturdays, July 11 and July 18 at 8:00 PM; and Sundays, July 12 and 19 at 2:00 PM. Tickets range from $25.50 to $29.50 for adults with discounts available for students, seniors and children under 12. Service charges may apply.

Next up is the popular, sing-along hit musical Mamma Mia. ABBA's hits couple with the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. Specific performance dates and times include: Thursdays, July 30 and 6 at 7:30 PM; Fridays, July 31and 7 at 8:00 PM; Saturdays, August 1 and 8 at 8:00 PM; Sundays, August 2 and 9at 2:00 PM. Tickets range from $25.50 to $29.50 for adults with discounts available for students, seniors and children under 12. Service charges may apply.

Summerfest 2020 will finish out in August with two concerts - Seamus Egan Project on August 15 at 8:00 PM and The British Invasion Years on August 22 at 8:00 PM. The British Invasion Years will be this season's Hackettstown Rotary Club Annual Fundraiser with all proceeds benefiting the charitable programs of the Hackettstown Rotary Club.
