"EAST CARSON STREET" PREMIERES AT BELL THEATER

 

 

EAST CARSON STREET 

COMING TO BELL THEATER WITH 

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS & TEAL WICKS

 


Bell Theater, Central Jersey’s newest home for arts and entertainment, at Bell Works in Holmdel, opens May 3 with the world premiere of EAST CARSON STREET, a new rock musical  by iconic Pittsburgh musician Joe Grushecky, well known for his work with the Iron City Houserockers and his collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, who co-wrote two songs in the musical

Celebrating America's resilience and goal of becoming a "more perfect union,” East Carson Street is the sweeping story spanning four decades and three generations of a hardworking Pittsburgh family. Crime, drugs and recession in 1980s Pittsburgh turned the lives of its citizens upside-down, as families were torn apart and young people sought better lives elsewhere. Fast forward to the 2020s and Pittsburgh, with its focus now on innovation, medicine and technology, has once again become one of America's great cities.
