Sam Kitchin and Nick Piacente in Liberty Live: Talking to Westfield (2012)
At Liberty Hall by James Christy directed by Kel Haney WHEN: November 8 - 10, Friday, at 7 PM; Saturday & Sunday, at 3 PM WHERE: Little Theatre, located in the Kean University Center; 1000 Morris Ave., Union The story of an unlikely pair of American immigrants, At Liberty Hall follows two high school students who've just moved to New Jersey: Cristian Rosario, a funny but unfocused teenager from Queens by way of the Dominican Republic; and Alexander Hamilton, 16, the subject of Cristian's 10th grade history project. This time-bending story finds common threads of humor, honor and awkwardness as told through the experiences of a someday-Founding Father and a kid looking for a way out of the projects. ADMISSION: All seats are FREE! Free tour of Liberty Hall Museum available after the readings November 9th & 10th! Please call 908.737.4092 or e-mail premiere@kean.edu to reserve. Liberty Live is a unique partnership between Premiere Stages and the Liberty Hall Museum that celebrates New Jersey history with professional theatrical productions, museum tours, interactive displays, workshops for children, and talk-backs with local historians. At this interactive staged reading, you'll be the first to see an exciting new play that celebrates the 350th Anniversary of New Jersey and Elizabethtown. Intimate discussions with the playwright follow each reading, and free tours of Liberty Hall Museum are available after the Saturday and Sunday readings. Premiere Stages will present a full production of At Liberty Hall in Fall 2014 as part of the statewide NJ350 celebration. The Libery Live readings are made possible in part by a HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant from the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders. |
