The Growing Stage kicks off season with "Goosebumps: Phantom of the Auditorium"

originally published: 09/27/2022


(NETCONG, NJ) -- The Growing Stage, The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre in Netcong opens its 41st season with R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps: Phantom of the Auditorium from October 14-30. This musical introduces us to mysterious events that befall the theater and no one can be sure if it’s just coincidence or the work of … The Phantom!

Brooke and Zeke are excited to star in their school’s next hit musical, The Phantom, until they hear a rumor that the show is cursed. Prepare to get “Goosebumps” as the mystery unfolds! This silly and (only a little) spooky musical is based on the popular series from R.L. Stine.

R.L. Stine’s GOOSEBUMPS: Phantom of the Auditorium is adapted for the stage with book and lyrics by John Maclay, music and lyrics by Danny Abosch; orchestrations and arrangements by Danny Abosch.  This production is directed by Stephen L. Fredericks, TGS’s Executive Director, with choreography by Jillian Petrie and musical direction by Laura Petrie.

Performances take place Saturdays at 4:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm and a special opening performance on Friday, October 14th at 7:30pm.  Ticket prices are $28 for adults, $22 for seniors and $18 for children.  To purchase tickets, please visit www.growingstage.com or call (973) 347-4946.  Group rates and Season Ticket Packages are still available.
