(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- The World Premiere production of Off the Map by Christine Foster is headed into its final weekend of performances at Centenary Stage Company. Final performances will run through April 2 in the Kutz Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center of the Centenary University campus at 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ. Originally a part of the 2022 Women Playwright Series readings, Off the Map by Christine Foster tells the story of Denny and Claire who have retired to the wilds of Central America.

They quickly discover that things are not as they were expecting, in their relationship or in their new property. A mound is discovered by a pair of archaeologists who arrive on the scene, making a shattering discovery which will challenge all their beliefs about what is ever truly real and what is imagined.   

“The characters stumble onto a stone structure buried beneath centuries of jungle growth and tentatively explore its secrets. One by one, each beholds a discovery so miraculous, it’s unspeakable. The reveal comes with a genuine jolt of shock and wonder. May the theater gods cast a thousand curses upon any who spoil it.” - Chip O’Chang, Ridgeview Echo

Christine Foster’s plays have been produced in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Denmark, Mexico, Korea and the US, and on CBS, CTV, History and the Family Channel. In 2018 she won the Marion Thauer Brown New Audio Drama Award and her full-length Four Thieves Vinegar ran successfully in London before being remounted at the Brighton Fringe in 2019. Her monologue Cousins was the winner of the Soundworks.co.uk Contest in 2020. Recent short pieces have been performed on podcasts, BBC Radio, and WBRH Scotland, and she currently has two new full-length plays scheduled to premiere in the UK in 2022-23.

Performance dates and times for Off the Map are Thursday, March 30 at 7:30pm; Friday, March 31 at 8:00pm; Saturday, April 1 at 8:00pm; and Sunday, April 2 at 2:00pm.
