(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company presents The Ladykillers from February 17 – March 5 in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center of the Centenary University campus in Hackettstown. In the play, a sweet little old lady alone in her house is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing.
Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet, but strict, Mrs. Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus’ brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped, but Mrs. Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs. Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?
The cast will include Centenary University students, alumni, and CSC favorites! The cast includes Benedict Dawn Cross, Colleen Smith Wallnau, David Edwards, Nick Bettens, Connor McCrea, David Sitler, Carl Wallnau, Emily Kurnides, Ray Salerno, Olivia Tomlin, Viviana Mendez, Mark Squindo, Veronica Gaspar, Sam Galarza, Kai Vialva, and Cody Jackson.
