NENAProductions Theater Project will open its 2026 Season with Green Day's American Idiot across two weekends from April 24 to May 2, 2026 at the Jersey Shore Arts Center. This is a high-octane rock opera that follows three lifelong friends-Johnny, Tunny, and Will-as they search for meaning in a post-9/11 world.

Robert Burgess as Johnny, Brady Bock as Tunny, and Patrick Napurano as Will lead the vibrant cast which includes Jayden Calo, Mara Campolattaro, Grace Allison, Jill Gindi, Aidan Panno, Lulu Clohessy, Evan Cordero, Matt Davis, Samantha Dress, Jacqyeline Epstein, Aja Perez, Michael Rue, and Jack Russel.
