Wharton Community Players presents "The Moors"

originally published: 01/06/2025

(BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ) -- Wharton Community Players (WCP) presents The Moors by Jen Silverman from January 24-February 2, 2025 in the Wharton Black Box Theater (at 60 Locust Avenue) in Berkeley Heights. Join them as we take a trip back to Victorian England with two sisters and their dog, as they dream about what life can be. The arrival of their new governess takes all of the characters on a path they couldn't have anticipated. Full of feeling and wit, The Moors is a riveting dark comedy.

Said Wharton Arts Director of Theater Arts Timothy Maureen Cole, "WCP is excited to bring The Moors to life on stage at Wharton Arts. Jen Silverman's story is modern, evocative, and truly timeless in its exploration of the human experience. The direction by Jenna Burke and performances by our stunning cast are not to be missed."

A tuition-free program at the Wharton Performing Arts School, WCP is the first and only community theater program in Berkeley Heights. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. For tickets and more information, visit WhartonArts.org.

The Moors is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
