Premiere Stages Releases Their Summer Schedule of Events

Premiere Stages at Kean University (Union, NJ) presents a dynamic mix of original plays. Family-friendly musical theatre productions and shows for children and students make the season enjoyable for all audiences.

Premiere Stages launches the brand new Premiere's Holiday Workshop. The Workshop features readings of three holiday-themed plays and includes hot cider and treats for everyone. Admission is free as long as patrons bring a new, unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots.

All performances take place on the Kean University campus, located at 1000 Morris Avenue, Union, N.J. Premiere Stages offers affordable prices, air-conditioned facilities and free parking close to the theatres. Premiere Stages provides free or discounted tickets to patrons with disabilities. All Premiere Stages facilities are fully accessible spaces. Call for a list of sign-interpreted, audio-described or open-captioned performances. Assistive listening devices and large print programs are available at all times. Publications are available with advanced notice in alternate formats.

Tickets for productions range from $15 to $25, with discounts for groups (Musical Fun tickets are $12 with discounts for groups). The Premiere Package (a new subscription series) saves patrons up to $30.00 and includes free admission to staged readings and other special events. For more information, call 908-737-4092 or visit www.kean.edu/premierestages.

Premiere Stages is made possible in part through funding from The New Jersey State Council on the Arts, The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Kean's Quality First Initiative, The Westfield Foundation, The Gleason Family Foundation, The Provident Bank Foundation, and through the generous support of individual patrons.
