Hello everyone!
I am working on a project for a community theatre and am curious as to any plays or musicals that are set in New Jersey or are written/composed by New Jersey natives. If you could help me with putting together a list I would really appreciate it! Thanks for all your help!

Lynn Ahrens was raised in New Jersey (but actually born in NY). She grew up along the Jersey shore and graduated from, I believe, Neptune High School.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
