Bloomfield’s professional theatre company announces entertaining season of live theatre and concert events for 2025

 




Skyline Theatre Company returns to its two beloved Bloomfield venues: The Little Theatre under the Bloomfield Children’s Library and Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center

Skyline Theatre Company, a professional theatre company since 2001 with a home in Essex County’s Bloomfield for the last several years, announces its complete calendar of live theatre and concert events for 2025, beginning with a special one-weekend-only “Broadway in the Works” presentation of the new musical Payasita.

This script-in-hand performance will present an original bilingual musical about family, connection, joy … and clowns! Payasita, written by Colin McLaughlin and Fernanda Douglas, centers on a family in rural Guatemala having the wackiest day ever when a bus full of clowns breaks down outside their restaurant. 


WHEN: Saturday, March 22, at 7pm and Sunday, March 23, at 2pm
WHERE:
Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center, 240 Belleville Avenue, in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
TICKETS: Tickets are now on sale and reservations are strongly recommended for both performances. Tickets are on a ‘pay what you want’ basis and can be reserved and purchased via Skyline Theatre Company’s virtual box office on its website at SkylineTheatreCompany.org and via this secure link: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=skytc.

Skyline Theatre Company’s 2025 season in Bloomfield continues in April with The Tenors: A Tribute featuring internationally renowned tenor singer Timothy Liam Smith performing everything from Broadway to Opera to the American Standards with a silvery voice akin to The Three Tenors and The Irish Tenors. 

WHEN: Saturday, April 26th, @ 2pm
WHERE: Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center
, 240 Belleville Avenue, in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
TICKETS: $25 general admission; $20 senior & students

The next fully staged production in Skyline Theatre Company’s 2025 season is Becky Mode’s Fully Committed—a sidesplitting comedy following the day in the life of an out-of-work actor fielding reservations for Manhattan’s restaurant with one performer portraying 40 roles.

WHEN:  two weekends, May 2-10, Friday May 2nd @ 7:00 & Saturday May 3rdth @ 2:00; Friday May 9th @ 7:00 & Saturday May 10th @ 2:00

Richard Nash musical 110 in the Shade in September; a Celebrating the American Songbook musical performance by Broadway veteran singers Michele McConnell and Duane McDevitt in October, and the world premiere of Kimberly Hill’s joyous new holiday play Joy Meets Girl from December 13-21.
