(BLOOMFILED, NJ) -- Skyline Theatre Company, a 20-year-old professional theatre company previously calling Bergen County its home, will continue its 2023 season in Bloomfield on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 7:00pm with a one-night-only NYC Encores-style concert production of "Working the Musical" at the Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center, 240 Belleville Avenue.
Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason and the housewife, just to name a few.
Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated in the 21st century for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Micki Grant, and more.
Sam Scalamoni, Skyline Theatre Company’s co-founder and artistic director, directs the production with Fernanda Douglas as Musical Director. The cast of principals features Gregory Banks, David Couter, Marie Lemon, Torinae Norman, James Conrad Smith, and Nicole Zelka. The evening is produced by Skyline Theatre Company in special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
Reservations are recommended and can be made online here. Tickets are $25 each, $20 for seniors and students.
“All of us at Skyline Theatre Company are thrilled to bring live professional theatre back to Bloomfield!” says Artistic Director Sam Scalamoni. “Our 2023 season at Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center in partnership with the Township of Bloomfield promises to be an exciting one and we look forward to welcoming area theatre lovers to Oakeside to see professional theatre right in their own backyard.”
The rest of Skyline Theatre Company’s 2023 season in Bloomfield continues in A Nightmare on Broadway on Sunday, October 29 at 4:00pm for a fa-BOO-lous afternoon with the family for a ghoulishly fun musical revue recognizing Broadway’s most thrilling and chilling showtunes and wickedly fun tales of the Halloween season.
The final season event is Holiday Carols & Stories, a jolly fun and musical afternoon of sing-alongs, carols, and holiday stories suitable for kids from 1 to 92, on Sunday, December 10 at 4:00pm.
