SKYLINE THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES 2015-2016 SEASON

Its first production of the season will be a Special Presentation of

The Exonerated
written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen
WHEN: Friday, October 9, at 7:30pm; Saturday, October 10, at 7:30pm, and Sunday, October 11 at 2:00pm
WHERE:
Skyline Theatre, 10-10 20th Street, Fair Lawn
ADMISSION: Donations collected during the weekend will support the Exonerated Fund, which provides support to those who have been wrongfully accused and are now trying to reclaim their lives, and Skyline’s educational programming.

A riveting play, it tells the stories of six former “death row” prisoners who were released from prison after their convictions were reversed. 

This Wonderful Life
written by Steve Murray
WHEN: Sunday, December 6, at 3:00pm
WHERE: Skyline Theatre, 10-10 20th Street, Fair Lawn

Proving that one man really can make a difference in the world, this is a hilariously touching stage adaptation of the iconic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” in which one actor inhabits virtually every character from the movie.

 

In early 2016, Skyline will once again present a brand-new and original musical production as part of the state-wide 2016 Stages Festival. The production will be mounted in March (precise scheduling has yet to be announced by the New Jersey Theatre Alliance, the festival’s producer) and will be followed by an audience talk-back with the piece’s authors, performers and directors.

 

Broadway in Bergen
WHEN:
the evening of April 11, 2016
WHERE: Skyline Theatre, 10-10 20th Street, Fair Lawn

The following month, Skyline’s annual gala concert, featuring an evening of performances by today’s brightest Broadway performers, will be held. This is Skyline’s one-night-only benefit concert to support the organization’s educational and mainstage programming.

 

SWEENEY TODD
music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
book by Hugh Wheeler
WHEN: Friday, May 20, at 7:30pm; Saturday, May 21, at 7:30pm; and Sunday, May 22, at 2:00pm
WHERE: Skyline Theatre, 10-10 20th Street, Fair Lawn

Rounding out the season will be the devilishly popular and multiple Tony Award-winning Sweeney Todd. Skyline’s ‘Encores-style’ concert production will feature a professional cast of actors and actresses, as well as a Chamber Orchestra and a choir. It is based on an adaption by Christopher Bond.

“We at Skyline Theatre Company can’t wait to share our season’s offerings with our audiences.
