Grunin Center Presents "Assisted Living: The Home For The Holidays"

originally published: 11/02/2019


(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Are you dreaming of a white(-haired) Christmas? Don’t miss the hilarious Assisted Living: The Home for the Holidays musical on Saturday, November 23 (performances at 2:00pm and 7:30pm) at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. Seating is limited.

From early retirement right up to the pulling of the plug, 21st century seniors are partying like it’s 1969. Imagine: no work, no pregnancy, and a full array of Medicare-subsidized pharmaceuticals all while rockin’ around the Christmas cree.

Assisted Living: The Home for the Holidays is a 75-minute vaudeville-esque revue. The show focuses on the crazy antics at the Pelican Roost Assisted Living Home – an active, full-service retirement community – during the holiday season. The many characters at Pelican Roost sing and dance, revel and kvetch, celebrate and bloviate their way through Christmas and Hanukkah.

Tickets are $22-$27 and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org; by phone at 732-255-0500; or in person at the Grunin Center Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 5:00pm. The Grunin Center is located on the OCC Main Campus, College Drive, Toms River, New Jersey.
