(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Exit 82 Theatre Company presents four performances of Carrie, the Musical this weekend.  Based on the novel by Stephen King, The musical features Music by Michael Gore, Lyrics by Dean Pitchford, and Book by Lawrence D. Cohen.

At home, she's dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
