THIS WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING, VULGAR, PROFANE, OBSCENE PLAY I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. This play repeatedly used the 7 profane words banned by the FCC for use on television, and more. I lost count of the number of times I heard the profane words. Online reviews for this play note the script's reliance on vulgarity and stereotypes and state the play is a foulmouthed, raunchy romp. But I had no idea just how bad it could be. Without the vulgarity, the script would only be half as long. THE CITY OF EAST BRUNSWICK SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR ALLOWING SUCH A VULGAR AND DISGUSTING PLAY TO BE PERFORMED ON CITY PREMISES.

Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol returned to the McCarter after a three year Covid hiatus to prove…read moreonce again that this 19th century rebuke of Industrial Age ruthlessness and eventual redemption can still surprise and enlighten. In the current interpretation, directed by Lauren Keating, casting for many of the main characters has been made more inclusive and in several roles, "re-gendered" as female - including Mr. Scrooge himself (Dee Pelletier.) As a result, the sharp elbows and volatility of a classic George C. Scott or Albert Finney Scrooge seemed far more muted, especially as the staging was less lavish than in previous productions. And I don't know if the urban contemporary dance number at the end and the "updating" of several key scenes (Tiny Tim becomes a veterinarian??) was entirely necessary but It just goes to show that live theater is always intriguing and that a story you think you know by rote can still surprise. Not since Rod Serling's Carol For Another Christmas turned this venerable chestnut into an anti-war sermon has a version demanded full audience attention. Five stars for challenging my expectations. The McCarter remains a treasure.

Went to see The Woman in Black . I am a huge fan of the novel and have seen the movie. The movie…read morewas not that good. This version has as we might put it , issues. There is a narrative frame- device- that I found rather irritating. The protagonist is an old man who hires an actor to tell the story. This is over done and should be cut down. The first act is rather dull. It does come alive in the second act and redeems itself.Hence I wound up enjoying the play. If I were directing and I could take liberties , I 'd try to bring it more in line with the book. If it isn't scary it isn't anything. Too much dithering in the first part of the play.The actors , in challenging roles, did yeoman work. On the theater itself, the seats are very uncomfortable. It has a nice bar. You can park for free at nearby garage.

It turns out my worries were completely unfounded, as the entire staff at Camp College immediately put my mind at ease. Nurse Amira managed my child's Allergy Action Plan like a pro, and the staff in turn took careful safety precautions to ensure that there were no accidental exposures. Anthony, Christine, and Stacie were wonderful about making accommodations so that my son could participate alongside his neurotypical peers, and he even had a special "buddy counselor" who he absolutely loved! Both Science and Arts camps were exciting and engaging, with new projects and experiments being returned home daily. Camp College is truly a family, where each child is respected, included, and cherished. I cannot recommend this organization enough!

It's right next to Princeton's campus and the Battle of Trenton Memorial. My husband is a big fan of all the Signers of the Declaration, and unlike a more restored house about the people who owned the house, it focuses on the Stockton family who lived here and the American Revolution and a special exhibit. We were actually here for a few hours since there's a lot of signs to read and a lot of Richard Stocktons who lived in the house, followed by some governors. When I went, there was also a really interesting exhibit on Ma Bell and the history of telecommunications upstairs. This was a great historical site, a cheap price, and a nice space. Would love to come back when the garden is in bloom, and I will look out for future exhibitions as they rotate in.

We have had the great fortune of seeing some good productions here and the process is very easy. The website is user friendly and there is always a smiling face at will call. There are snacks for purchase and two gender-neutral bathrooms in the theatre. Further, the next door dorm is sometimes open for overflow. The theater is cozy and there doesn't seem to be any bad seats. The set productions are top notch considering the restraints of a small stage. We are introducing some friends to the theater for a show in August 2019 as the box office was gracious enough to change our original two night performance tickets to afternoon and add two more. Plenty points for an accommodating approach to customer service.

My wife and I had a "free" night without the kids so we decided to try and hit a comedy show for…read moresome fun. We had a good time at Catch a Rising Star. The club really isn't a club, but a space within the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, NJ. It hold between 75-100 I'd say in mostly two-tops but they accommodate bigger parties by pushing tables together. As you can see in my picture, this will probably be the least dive bar-like comedy club you'll ever be in. It actually has carpet and comfortable seats! The outer tables are high tops. Our table even had a touch sensitive lamp on it. We didn't pay for VIP, just general admission a few hours before the show online so we got seated towards the rear but the sound system was fine and we could hear everything just fine. Our sight lines were ok if you got the perfect line between other patrons. The food menu was adequate, and drinks were on the reverse side. My jalapeño pineapple margarita really sucked. No balance, no finesse, no good taste. My wife's Cosmopolitan was almost as bad, so she ended up ordering another instead made with the stuff she likes. A little better, but not by much. We also ordered some fried calamari which actually were pretty decent. They came in a wire basket with some "fancy" sauce which also was good. We got to hear the host, an opener, and the headliner. Was just under two hours and my wife and I enjoyed the show snd laughed a bit. The room skewed older and was a bit difficult for the comics tonight. I'm guessing the costs per comedy show depends on the comics, but tonight was just over $60 for two general admission tickets. The three drinks and calamari with tax and tip added another $70. A pretty solid three and one half stars, but I'll round up for Catch a Rising Star. An added bonus was that the hotel's lobby where the club is located is beautiful with gorgeous water features, koi fish, an extremely nice bar, and pretty cool architecture to see how the rooms are laid out.
