Even sober Biblical scholars often call Ezekiel mad. He is the Prophet with the flimsiest tether to material reality. The Book of Ezekiel contains many wild visions that, millennia after their composition, retain the power to startle. His images of the Divine are often downright terrifying. Much of his narrative reads like an extended hallucination.


(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents the national tour of the 2024 Tony® Award-winning Best Play, Stereophonic, for four performances from March 28-29, 2026. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom.



I'm not going to suggest that Scream 7 is a return to form for the critically ailing yet commercially triumphant slasher franchise (I don't believe it had much form to begin with), but it's certainly a baby step up from the awfulness of the previous two instalments. That's a bit like saying a soccer team is showing signs of improvement because they only lost 3-0 against their local rivals as opposed to the 5-0 drubbing they suffered the previous season. But I'm a Spurs fan, so I'll take whatever crumb of comfort I can, and the crumb tossed to fans here is the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, along with series creator Kevin Williamson, directing for the first time since 1999's Teaching Mrs Tingle, and co-writing with Guy Busick (with a story contribution by Zodiac scribe James Vanderbilt).



(RAHWAY, NJ) -- The Academy for Performing Arts at UCVTS presents Les Misérables at Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) from March 13-15, 2026. Set in nineteenth-century France, Les Misérables is a sweeping epic of love, sacrifice, and redemption.



(PRINCETON, NJ) -- McCarter Theatre Center presents Circus Quixote, a gravity-defying theatrical spectacle from Chicago's famed Lookingglass Theatre Company, in association with The Actors Gymnasium, running March 4–15, 2026. Blending epic adventure with high-flying circus artistry, the production reimagines one of literature's most iconic dreamers for a world that may need him now more than ever.



(TUCKERTON, NJ) -- The Lizzie Rose Music Room presents singer-songwriter Max Gomez on Sunday, March 8, 2026. Doors are at 7:00pm; showtime is 7:30pm.



(NETCONG, NJ) -- The Growing Stage, the children's theatre of New Jersey, presents Mesmerized: A Ben Franklin Science and History Mystery weekends from March 6-22, 2026. This was adapted for the stage by Suzanne Maynard Miller and is based on the book Mesmerized: How Ben Franklin Solved a Mystery that Baffled All of France by Mara Rockliff.



(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Grunin Center for the Arts presents Socks in the Frying Pan on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 7:00pm. They are a multi-award-winning trio from Ennis, County Clare, Ireland—the mecca of Irish traditional music—was formed in 2014.
