Haddonfield Plays and Players presents "Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill: The Musical"

originally published: 04/07/2026

(HADDONFIELD, NJ) -- Haddonfield Plays and Players presents Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill: The Musical from May 8-23, 2026. This exhilarating musical was inspired by the themes and raw emotions laid bare in Alanis Morissette's seminal album of the same name.

The Healys appear to be a picture-perfect suburban family – but looks can be deceiving. When the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the status quo or facing harsh truths about themselves, their community and the world around them.

Mary Jane Healy is a high-achieving homemaker who will do anything for her family, including their adopted African American daughter Frankie, who is struggling to find her place in their lily-white community. But when the Healys’ lives begin to unravel, Mary Jane’s drive to keep her family together threatens to break them apart.

Performances take place Friday, May 8 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 9 at 8:00pm; Sunday, May 10 at 3:00pm; Thursday, May 14 at 8:00pm; Friday, May 15 at 8:00pm; Saturday, May 16 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, May 17 at 3:00pm; Thursday, May 21 at 8:00pm; Friday, May 22 at 8:00pm; and Saturday, May 23 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm.
