Grunin Center Announces 2022-23 Season

originally published: 06/29/2022


(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- The Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College has announced its new 2022-23 season, presenting a fantastic lineup of spectacular shows and special events. The new season is packed with music, family-friendly fun, award-winning drama, and exciting performances featuring artists from around the globe.

This season, spend an evening with legendary singer/songwriter Judy Collins as she brings her Holidays and Hits show to the Main Stage. Or bang your head with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and their unique blend of rocked-out bagpipes and drums! 

The world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra comes to the Grunin Center, along with a selection of dazzling guest artists, to present a musical journey through four decades of blues and jazz. 

Get ready to sing (and shout) along when The Rocky Horror Picture Show takes over the Main Stage just in time for Halloween, complete with a shadow cast and a pre-show costume contest! And if comedy is your thing, don’t miss a night of stand-up and improv with actor and comedian Paul Reiser and his special guest, Vance Gilbert. There’s something for everyone to look forward to this season! 

Subscription packages go on sale July 5 at 12:00pm. All tickets will be available for purchase beginning Monday, July 11 at 12:00pm (unless otherwise noted).
