The one-act play will start it's three-day run on Thursday, July 14, at the Monroe Center for the Arts.
Broadway is not the only place you can find good musical theater. On Thursday night, the Theater Company of Hoboken is premiering "Glory Days," a rock musical by James Gardiner and Nick Blaemire at the Monroe Center for the Arts. Only showing for three nights, the play delves into the friendships of four guys who reunite one year after graduation and looks at how people can grow apart in 12 months. With the cast ranging in age between 18 to 21-years-old, their fresh look at the material and passion for the story is what makes "Glory Days" a show not to miss. "The story is actors are really in love with it," director Jenny Fersch told Patch. "They're just very proactive, and they made a connection to Dave [Zimmerman] who said he'll produce …

Puns aside, the Hoboken Children's Theater Company debuts new satirical musical.
The hills are alive with the sound of… pee? The Hoboken Children's Theater Company debuted their week-long run of "Urinetown: The Musical," a cutting, offbeat satirical dramedy on Wednesday night to a full house at Monroe Theater Space. The Tony award-winning musical, with lyrics by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, tells the story of a run-down town ravished by a drought, and run by the evil hand of Caldwell Cladwell (played by Joseph Scoccimarro Greiner, 17), the CEO of Urine Good Company, a giant corporation that regulates the town's pay-to-pee toilets.

It was yet another home run on Saturday for Mile Square Theatre's eighth annual production of "7th Inning Stretch," a collection of short plays about baseball. DeBaun auditorium had filled up quickly for the show, which consisted of seven 10-minute plays about baseball, commissioned solely for the production by artistic director Chris O'Connor. "Thanks for coming out on this beautiful evening," said O'Connor to the crowd, while outside heavy rain and wind pounded the city. Mayor Dawn Zimmer and Human Services Director Leo Pellegrini threw the ceremonial "first pitch" before the proverbial curtain was raised for the show. The first short play was an excerpt from "Rounding Third," a full-length comedy by Richard Dresser about a little league…
