Centenary Stage Company is proud to present the first ever Family Front Porch Series this July, featuring three FREE, family friendly musicals.

The musicals, part of the Company’s Young Audience Series, will be hosted outside on the front porch of Centenary University’s Seay Building (400 Jefferson Street, Hackettstown).

The schedule for the Family front Porch Series is as follows:

• Wednesday, July 8 – Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical; 8-year-old Lily Polkadot who just moved to the “Squares Only” small town of Rockaway. As the first Polkadot in an all Square school, Lily faces an almost impossible task of gaining acceptance from her peers. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock Nine, the story serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts.
  
• Wednesday, July 22 – Miss Nelson Is Missing!; Teacher Miss Nelson can’t control her crazy classroom because she’s just too nice.  But, when she disappears, her substitute is the no-nonsense Viola Swamp!  With the big test approaching, the kids realize how much they miss their Miss Nelson… and they’ll do anything to get her back!
  
• Wednesday, July 29 – School House Rock Live! Jr.; Based on the Emmy-award winning ’70s cartoon series, this modernized show follows Tom, who is nervous about his first of teaching. Featuring beloved School House Rock songs, the show is a learning opportunity masked in great fun!

All shows will begin at 11 a.m.  Although they are free events, reservations are required and limited. Please make your reservations at www.centenarystageco.org or call the box office at (909) 979-0900.
