Eagle Theatre's Theatre for Young Audience Series presents the World Premiere of JANE AND THE HUMONGOUS PEAR by Co-Artistic Director's Ed Corsi and Ted Wioncek III, opening March 4th at The Eagle Theatre, 208 Vine Street, Hammonton, NJ.

JANE AND THE HUMONGOUS PEAR is the story of a young, imaginative girl who searches for adventure and gets too far from home, traveling in a magical pear. Along the way, she makes new friends, discovering the joys of freedom and friendship. Throughout her journey, she develops self-confidence, self-awareness, and helps others overcome their own personal obstacles.

The story of JANE AND THE HUMONGOUS PEAR teaches many life lessons and encourages important values including; compassion, bravery, strength, and standing up for yourself and one another.

Co-Artistic Director Ted Wioncek III says "We felt it imperative that our first World Premiere feature a strong female heroine. A great majority of plays concern themselves with finding a prince and living happily ever after. We chose to focus on how to find happiness from within, each and every day, starting now."

In the nonstop adventure of JANE AND THE HUMONGOUS PEAR, you are transported to a world of make believe; actors turn household items into stunning theatrical props, while sound effects are created right before your very ears. Audience members will be invited to assist in choosing what props, costumes and plot twist the story takes, creating an exhilarating immersive experience designed to delight audience members of all ages.

Adds Co-Artistic Director Ed Corsi "Our production is equal parts entertaining, enlightening, and educational. Each performance features a Meet & Greet Talk-Back with the cast, whereupon audiences may ask questions and share opinions about the play."

The ensemble cast features Kelly Filios, Jonathan Fink, Ernie Jewell, Tim Rinehart and Kimberly Suskind.
