Performances will take place in the Little Theatre located in the Seay building of the Centenary University campus at 400 Jefferson Street, Hackettstown, NJ. This year, the Young Performers Workshop will be presenting Stop the World – I Want to Get Off. 

With book, music, and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly, Stop the World – I Want to Get Off is a thought-provoking tale about the fleeting nature of worldly success. The story follows Littlechap through all the highs and lows that life has to offer, and ultimately asks the question of what truly matters.

Tickets for these performances are $12.50 for adults and $10.00 for students and children under 12.

Registration is now open for the Spring 2023 Session of the Young Performers Workshop. This workshop is a 15-week intensive musical theatre program designed to teach kids ages 8 to 18.
