HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – Centenary Stage Company (CSC) will open their Professional Theatre Series for 2024-2025 with a production of Conor McPherson’s, “The Weir,” which will run Oct. 4 to Oct. 20 in their Sitnik Theatre.
“The Weir” is set in a bar in Sligo, Ireland, where local men swap spooky stories in an attempt to impress a young woman from Dublin who recently moved into a nearby “haunted” house, and then she spins a yarn of her own. Tickets range from $25 to $39 for adults depending on the performance, with discounts available for students, seniors (65-plus) and children (12 and under) on select performances. A special discount for Hackettstown residents to get $10 tickets will be available in person at the box office for the opening Friday preview on Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. And as always, Thursday evening performances will feature BOGO tickets at the box office window beginning at 5 p.m. on the day of that performance.
This production features some new faces to CSC and company veterans. The small cast features Derek Egidio as Jim, Mark Byrne as Brendan, Campbell Symes as Valerie, Pat Cogan as Finbar and John Little as Jack. Directing the production is CSC’s artistic director, Carl Wallnau.
Performance dates and times for “The Weir “are Thursdays, Oct. 10 and 17 at 7 p.m.; Fridays, Oct. 4, 11 and 18 at 8 p.m.; Saturdays, Oct. 5, 12 and 19 at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, Oct. 9 and 16 at 2 p.m.
