STC's 2019 Mainstage Season Presents

THE TOXIC AVENGER

PWYC Preview: October 10

Performances: October 11 - 26

Books and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro

Music and Lyrics by David Bryan

Based on Lloyd Kaufman's The Toxic Avenger

Melvin Ferd, the Third, wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town.

It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house. Featuring a wailin' rock score, this comical musical has something for everyone to enjoy.

All performances are BYOB.

HOLES

by Louis Sachar

Nov 8 - 16

You’re sure to get caught up in this play adapted from Louis Sachar’s Newberry Award-Winning Novel for young adults, adapted by the author of the novel himself. The past and present co-exist on stage to unravel this compelling story in a uniquely theatrical way.

“Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.” – Louis Sachar

Celebrate the holiday season with a night of songs, comedy, skits, and more!
