The Theater Project Jr. presents Broadway Jukebox

originally published: 06/13/2025

(CRANFORD, NJ) -- The Theater Project will give its regards to the Great White Way when it presents Broadway Jukebox at the Jardine Academy June 28-29, 2025. This year's show will star eight alumni of Theater Project Jr, a summer program for teenagers. In Broadway Jukebox, they reunite as young adults to create a cabaret of songs for family, friends, and The Theater Project community.

The eight performers hail from three states: Paige Carranza of Garwood, N.J.; Diego Colon of Cranford, N.J.; Angelique Demetillo of Williamsburg, Va.; Christine Demetillo of Randolph, N.J.; Kayla Lugo of Somerset, N.J.; Emme Oliver of Feasterville, Pa.; Alexis Page of Somerset; and Kayleigh Pierce of Somerset. The cast will entertain audiences with numbers from some of the most beloved musicals in theater history.

“Theater Project Jr’s Broadway Jukebox is an outlet I’ll never take for granted,” said Alexis Page, co-director and a student at Middlesex College. “Not only does the show allow me to exercise my creativity, it enables me to work with some of the best people I’ve ever encountered.”

"I’ve worked with high-school and college students for more than 30 years, and I can’t begin to express the joy I’ve felt in seeing their growth from year to year,” said Co-Director Mary Iannelli, “This show is a collaboration of the best kind, and giving them a chance to do what they love is incredibly rewarding.”

There will be two performances: Saturday, June 28 at 7:30pm and  Sunday, June 29 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $18 and available for purchase online.  The Jardine Academy is located at 61 Myrtle Street in Cranford, New Jersey.
