Heathers: The Musical
May 10th  – 26th, 915 White Horse Pike, Haddon Township

But misfit Veronica Sawyer, who was graciously taken under their wing, rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place – six feet under.”

May 10th 7:00pm, May 11th 2:00pm & 7:00pm, May 12th 3:00pm, The Levoy Theatre, 126-130 N High St, Millville
“Runtime: Approx. 70min, no intermission Doors: 60min prior to each performance. Seating: at least 30min prior to each performance. Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.”

Jack Larimore: Bonding at Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum
May 10th –  June 15th, Burlington County Footlighters, 808 Pomona Rd, Cinnaminson
“ April 13, 2-5 pm (the talk begins at 2 pm). When experiencing nature and her complex relationships, New Jersey-based maker Jack Larimore is drawn to the positive bonds that coexist with the challenges of competition. His creative muse pulls from this nuanced interplay of nature, where he perceives patterns and processes that speak to resilience, adaptability, and interconnectedness. He sees bonds materializing through the process of making, ranging from the personal and domestic rituals of procreation, meal preparation, fostering a home, and nurturing a family, to the more globally recognized acts of producing music and stories. The works in this exhibition are an intuitive and philosophical exploration of those stories and these acts of bonding. In essence, Bonding isn't just a collection of artworks; it's a journey into the soul of a maker and his profound relationship with his process and the materials that fuel it.”

 

The Prom
May 3rd – 18th, Burlington County Footlighters, 808 Pomona Rd, Cinnaminson
“Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together. Book & Lyrics by Chad Beguelin, Book by Bob Martin, Music by Matthew Sklar.”

Smith’s mixed-media paintings employ acrylic, graphite, color pencil, pastel, chalk, and collage. Art Smith, an artist, educator, and writer, was born in Pittsburgh PA, and relocated to Arizona in the 1960’s. This exhibition, Temporary Landscapes, focuses on Smith ’s work from the last 7 years, made while living in New Jersey. He has explored painting the Rancocas Creek and its tributaries and has chosen to focus on water, a rare commodity in Arizona. Just as the Rancocas Creek changes with the seasons, his memories of the desert transform through the filter of time, allowing his interior landscapes to shift and evolve.”
