Illusionist John Bundy and Morgan conjure up a treasure chest of incredible illusions in this family-friendly performance. The magic happens right before your Ayes!

Broadway World said: “Cue award winning illusionists John Bundy and Morgan. Their thrilling mainstage production ‘Skullduggery: A Magical Pirate Adventure’ is a swashbuckling pirate adventure that will conjure up a treasure chest of illusions and interactive adventure the whole family will enjoy. This Broadway-style production, combining the science of illusion and storytelling, culminates in a climatic whirlwind of magical amazement…there are few family friendly shows that successfully manipulate the senses, while entertaining the masses. ‘Skullduggery’ is one of the few productions that accomplish this arduous feat. Perhaps there is a strong connection between illusion and neuroscience, or laughter and distraction. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. One cannot help but buy into the enchantment of ‘Skullduggery’. The production evokes what science cannot explain: family magic.”

We look forward to welcoming you to this special sensory-friendly performance of “Skullduggery – A Magical Pirate Adventure”! Get your tickets today!

Supported in part by funding from the Union County Board of County Commissioners and the NJEDA’s A.R.T. Phase II Grant Program

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 07/16/2026

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
