2. Roebling: The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge

After its sold out 2016 run and by popular demand, Theater To Go is presenting ROEBLING:The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge at the Theater at the Valley of Central Jersey AASR in Bordentown NJ March 27-April 5. Written by Mark Violi and directed by Ruth Markoe, Roebling tells the story about how this important New Jersey family overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to build one of America's most iconic structures, and how their innovative technology changed bridge building forever.

The Brooklyn Bridge is part of our everyday world-seen in movies, in photos, or casually passed over on a taxi ride-yet many do not know the fascinating story of how it got there.

ROEBLING:The Story of the Brooklyn Bridge is a drama about the immense challenges faced by the Roebling Family in their dedication to building the Brooklyn Bridge, truly one of the most endearing and enduring engineering feats in the world. In building such a true American Icon, John Roebling and his son Washington persevered against all odds. When adversity called into question the success of the project and all hope seemed to be lost, Emily Roebling, in challenging the accepted role of women, became the pivotal force in completion of the bridge. This is truly a story of innovation, dedication, perseverance and family. Emily Roebling's story is a perfect one to tell during this Women's History Month as she is an inspiration for young women and STEM.

Audiences will meet a remarkable, forward-thinking family on the cutting edge of the Industrial Revolution. Roebling shows how this project foreshadowed the 20th century in the huge ambition of the project itself, the revolutionary construction techniques developed by John Roebling and his son Washington, and in the recognition of the vital role that his daughter-in-law, Emily Roebling, played in the implementation of this enormous project.

Our cast includes James Cordingley (John Roebling), Joey Poliziana (Washington Roebling), Kaitlyn Krewson (Emily Roebling), Jeff Maschi (CC Martin), Rachel Green (Mary Martin), Rob Lasky (EF Farrington), Dennis McGuire (Horatio Allen), Lew Gantwerk (Dr. Smith), Philip Reischick (Haldis Dickey), Tony Rita (Nathaniel Dickey), John Russell (Mr. Aikens)  and Jeffrey Milstein (Mr. Leonard)

We are also honored to have Clifford Zink, noted historian and author of The Roebling Legacy who will be joining us after the performances to share a talk-back with the audience to discuss the play and the remarkable history of the Brooklyn Bridge.
