ARTHUR™ & FRIENDS MAKE A MUSICAL! Opens at The Growing Stage: Next Month

The Growing Stage: The Children's Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey will present the New Jersey premiere of ARTHUR & FRIENDS Make A Musical!  

This production is based on the Arthur book series created by Marc Brown and adapted for the stage with Book & Lyrics by John Maclay and Music & Lyrics by Brett Ryback.  ARTHUR & FRIENDS Make A Musical! runs March 8th through the 24th with performances on Saturdays at 4:00PM, Sundays at 2:00PM, and a special opening night performance on Friday, March 8th at 7:30PM.  This production is directed by Stephen L.

Big things are happening at Lakewood Elementary School! Mr. Ratburn's class is asked to write and perform a big show for all of Elwood City. Everyone is so excited! Everyone, except for Arthur. What should he do? Arthur feels more nervous as the big performance gets closer and closer. With the help of his family and friends Buster, Brain, Francine, Muffy – and even little sister D.W. – Arthur learns the importance of being his best, unique self in this brand new musical.
