Pulitzer Prize Finalist Play “Bulrusher” Hits the Stage at McCarter Theatre
Music, humor and clairvoyance are soon to thrill audiences at McCarter Theatre Center in the form of Eisa Davis' Pulitzer Prize finalist play, “Bulrusher.” A period piece set in 1950s California, “Bulrusher” is the coming-of-age tale of a multiracial young woman bestowed with the gift of clairvoyance as she navigates life in her mostly white town. More than a fish out of water story, Bulrusher highlights the beauty, complexity and compassion that make life the nuanced ride that it is. Jersey Arts speaks with Director Nicole A. Watson and the cast of McCarter’s “Bulrusher” to learn more about this vibrant story.

Art House Productions Brings "Tracy Jones" to Life
"Tracy Jones" is a touching comedy of individual connection in an increasingly busy world. And the play will mark the first fully staged production in Arthouse Production's new space. The play's synopsis reads: "The main character, Tracy Jones, rents out the back "party room" of Jones Street Bar and Grill: The Place for Wings and Things to throw a party to which she's invited every woman in the area who is also named Tracy Jones. Tracy sits for over an hour alone, nursing her Diet Coke, waiting for any other Tracy Joneses to show up, and help alleviate her epic loneliness. Through her encounters with the limited guests that attend, this hilarious play challenges the audience to question loneliness, connection, and why we do the things we do." Jersey Arts speaks to director, Alex Tobey and writer, Stephen Kaplan about bringing this show to life.

Axelrod Celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Tony Award-winning Musical “Raisin”
"What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run?" These words from the poetry of Langston Hughes served as the inspiration for the play “A Raisin in the Sun” and later its Tony Award-winning musical reimagining, “Raisin.” Focused on the dreams and desires of a struggling Black family in 1950s Chicago, “Raisin” celebrates the persistence and resolve of a family at a crossroads. Jersey Arts visits the Axelrod Performing Arts Center to speak with the creative team behind the show and learn more about its 50th Anniversary performance of “Raisin,” on stage Feb. 24 - March 12.
