After sold-out performances in New York City and 5 stars from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Gideon Irving, a theatrical couch-surfing troubadour, brings his incredibly unique solo show to Hackettstown. Irving, who has hopped from one town to the next on bike, rollerblades, and automobiles, performing and sleeping in 504 homes of perfect strangers, now invites audiences to his own living room on stage.  With a host of eclectic instruments, astonishing stories, warm charm and an infectious sense of humor Irving casts a spell that transports audiences out of this world. 

The NY Times notes, “It’s a mishmash of twangy songs and stories about his mother, his friends and his travels. Other odds and ends are tossed in: jokes, audience participation, a magic trick… There’s charm in that shagginess, and in Mr. Irving’s folksy and welcoming manner.

Centenary Stage Company’s Fringe Festival is sponsored in part by season sponsor Heath Village Retirement Community and series sponsor The House of the Good Shepherd.
