A Note from Carl Wallnau,
Artistic Director - July 2008

Dear Local Business Arts Supporters,
From the New York Times to the Newark Star Ledger, the critics
are in agreement. Year in and year out, The Centenary Stage Company
continues to be one of New Jersey's most compelling and adventurous
professional theatres. We continue our commitment to excellence
with a great season of wonderful plays and exciting events.
Give yourself the gift of TIME this season, time with friends, time to think, time to enjoy without stress and responsibilities,
time to feed and nurture your soul. Year after year, Centenary Stage is acclaimed for the high quality of its productions as well
as our commitment to provide Skylands audiences with the very best of music, dance and, yes, professional theatre. This season
is no different!
It is a year of celebrating the new and the old with three premieres, one American and two world! All are highly
theatrical, whether it’s A Laughing Matter with
its cast of a dozen actors playing everyone from Dr. Samuel Johnson to actor David Garrick or Christmas At
The Small Empire Music Hall immortalizing some of the best (and worst) acts to ever grace the Music Hall
stage. You May Go Now continues our
commitment to new works by women writers with a darkly comic voyage into the mind of perfect 50’s style house wife, except
, of course, it’s not 1950 but today! Join
those who have experienced CSC. Once you have, you will be a fan forever.
Our concert series once again offers an exciting mix of traditional
and non-traditional works, including performances by The
New Jersey Ballet, and Samuel James, channeling the sounds of
Mississippi John Hurt and Piedmont soul in singular, stunning performances. We also welcome Fanfare
Consort to the stage, who will
transport you back to the great cathedrals and royal courts of Europe as this group unearths the splendors of 16th and 17th century
music, presented as you would have heard it then, with period instruments and all
It's time to cast your vote for first class Music, Theatre and
Dance at the Centenary Performing Arts Guild! The 2008-2009 season
at CPAG promises to be as exciting as its predecessors, and the
shows and events will draw over 10,000 intelligent, affluent individuals
who are interested in the products and activities, like visits to
the theatre, that enhance their lives. Your ad in one of our program
guides will put your business at the front of their minds after
the performance. Advertising in our program is a great way to show
these art lovers that you support theatre in Northwest New Jersey.
Your ad in the CPAG program guide is one of the best ways to show
your support for a strong continuing arts program in this beautiful
Highlands region. Please fill out the Advertising
Enrollment Form (Rates), and join us for a great year of culture
and entertainment at the Centenary Performing Arts Guild.
Sincerely,
Carl Wallnau
Producing Director
P.S. We still have seats available under our "Adopt-a-Chair"
program. Your gift of $150.00 will enable us to continue to serve
as a major cultural resource for Northwest New Jersey. Your brass
plaque, inscribed with your name or the name of a loved one, placed
on the seat of your choice, will serve as both a dedication and
a celebration of "The Arts."
