(BORDENTOWN, NJ) -- The spooky play Crush will be brought to life on stage November 20-21, 2026 at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center. Welcome to Pin Cushion, California: population 791 and falling fast. This play, written by Stephen Gregg, will be performed by the award-winning theatre students of Bordentown Regional High School.
Pin Cushion High School Drama has reached its final-ever production: Our Town. Despite never having once gotten a part, Bark Melon—16 and delightfully goofy despite some recent hard times—is convinced that he's going to get a lead. But Bark's audition goes awry when new student Aspen arrives and a chorus of malevolent voices enters with her. Only Bark can hear that Aspen is not what she seems, and soon, strange things start to happen. A town in trouble, an alien invasion, and true love: Crush is a play about what it means to be human.
Featured in the cast are Bordentown Regional High School seniors Angela DeIeso, Madelyn Jones, Alex Martucci, Kade Sutton, juniors Persephone Borsuk, Nora Erdos, Mackenzie Mayers, Andi McLaughlin, Anthony Nami, Arianaliz Rios, sophomores Alex Candea, Nora Chestnut, Brecklyn Giangrasso, Rocco Gutin, Brooklyn Hoppe, Julianna Kelly, Jack McCarney, Oliver Sano, Leo Silverman and freshmen Siri Jalagam, Helen Jarvie, Quincy Manigrasso, Zoey Mrozicki, Aubrey Patterson, and Lynzie Williams.
Bordentown Regional High School's musical, Legally Blonde, was awarded the prestigious Greater Philadelphia Cappie Award for Outstanding Musical in 2012, and their 2024 production of The Addams Family was honored with a nomination in the same category. Over the past decade, the Greater Philadelphia Cappie Awards have honored BRHS Theatre performances with seventy-seven nominations and eighteen awards. The theatrical performances of BRHS have also been honored with awards and nominations from the New Jersey State Thespian Festival and the New Jersey Theatre Night Awards. Bordentown Regional High School is home to International Thespian Society Troupe 6803.
Performances take place Friday, November 20 at 7:30pm and Saturday, November 21 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students, and can be purchased in advance at www.seatyourself.biz/brhs. Tickets will also be sold at the door, cash only.
