In the Pink!

This year Kelsey Theatre celebrates its Ruby Pink 40th Anniversary with a salute to the ladies. We’re tickled pink to bring you a season full of strong, masterful, determined, feisty women (and a few grouchy old men). From the loving mother spider in Charlotte’s Web to Gypsy’s Mama Rose, from tiny Thumbelina to the adventurous Maria in The Sound of Music, and from a smart-talking female canine in Martha Speaks to the forceful Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker, each of these characters will amaze and inspire. And smack dab in the middle of our season – Reock & Roll’s Music from Big Pink. So pink it is! As Elle Woods from Legally Blonde would say – “You can’t have too much pink!” And, according to Mama Rose from Gypsy, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses!” – pink ones of course. ……………………………………………………………………………………In our tribute to women – mothers, sisters and daughters – we can’t miss the opportunity to encourage all women to further their education and realize their potential for leadership. We also offer a gentle reminder to get regular medical exams to stay strong and healthy for all the people who care about and count on you. And, think about supporting worthy organizations dedicated to women’s issues. Because strong women can change the world!

SHOCKING PINK! CONTAINS LANGUAGE OR SITUATIONS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.– washington irving

Oh, it’s time to start livin’Time to take a little from this world we’re givenTime to take time, cause spring will turn to fallIn just no time at all...– berthe, pippin’s grandmother

Pinnworth Productions invites you on a dramatic journey through this visual and musical masterpiece – Stephen Sond-heim’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical about a painter’s struggle between creating art and living life. Inspired by Georges Seurat’s 1884 masterpiece painting “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,” and delicate as a pink parasol, this deeply moving love story connects the past to the future through passionate struggles both personal and universal.

Work is what you do for others, liebschen, art is what you do for yourself. – Stephen Sondheim

Love LettersFRI. FEB. 15, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. FEB. 16 @ 8 pm | SUN. FEB. 17 @ 2 pm

Give your Valentine Love Letters! M&M Productions brings A.R. Gurney’s extraordinarily successful play to Kelsey Theatre. Simply conceived, beautifully constructed, and intoxicating as Pink Champagne, this touching story is both witty and bittersweet as it follows the “near misses” of a relationship through a lifetime of letters. From summer camps and boarding schools, through college, war, career and romance, we watch the journey between free-spirited but unstable artist Melissa Gardner (played by Kelsey’s M. Kitty Getlik) and dutiful lawyer Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (played by Walter Smyth).……………………………………………………………………………………

Continuing its classic rock album performance series, which included Déjà Vu (2012) and Quadrophenia (2011), The Reock & Roll Revue will pay tribute to another great classic group of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s – The Band. A musical and video journey that chronicles the paths crossed by Bob Dylan and members of the group that later became known as The Band as they turned the house known as Big Pink into their very own recording studio.

TBA - We’re not allowed to say...FRI. MAR. 1 & 8, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. MAR. 2 & 9 @ 8 pm | SUN MAR. 3 & 10 @ 2 pm

Maurer Productions OnStage, the Perry Award-winning group that brought us last year’s AIDA, Laughter on The 23rd Floor, and The Drowsy Chaperone, is back with a recent Broadway musical that won the Tony Award for Best Musical when it opened. However we are not yet allowed to reveal the name. Let’s just say that it has absolutely nothing to do with Jim Henson Company, The Muppets or Sesame Workshop, which have no responsibility for its content. Oh, and this one is rated Shocking Pink - it’s really not for kids!

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. – helen keller (the miracle worker)

GypsyFRI. MAR. 15 & 22, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. MAR. 16 & 23 @ 8 pm | SUN. MAR. 17 & 24 @ 2 pm Pierrot Productions says “Let us entertain you” with the classic musical fable about the definitive stage mother, Mama Rose, who pushes her two children into show business at any cost to fulfill the dream of stardom she never achieved herself. Critically acclaimed as one of the great American musicals and based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, this exquisitely-crafted musical casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of show business during the 1920s, when Vaudeville was dying and Burlesque was born. ……………………………………………………………………………………

CabaretFRI. APR. 5 & 12, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. APR. 6 & 13 @ 8 pm | SUN. APR. 7 & 14 @ 2 pm

Step into the Kit Kat Klub and come hear the music play as MCCC’s talented Theater and Dance Program and Entertainment Technology Majors present Kander and Ebb’s Tony Award-winner. Set in 1931 Berlin, the musical captures the essence of a society on the brink of massive change. This upheaval is mirrored in the intertwined lives of the characters – denizens of a seedy nightclub and a nearby boarding house – all overseen by the nightclub’s creepy Master of Ceremonies. The show’s upbeat music reflects leftover Roaring ‘20s optimism, while the lyrics reveal an almost Kurt Weill/Berthold Brecht-like sense of cynicism, decadence and moral ambivalence.

I used to pretend I was someone quite mysterious and fascinating. Then I grew up and realized I was mysterious and fascinating – Sally BowleS

Legally Blonde - The MusicalFRI. APR. 19 & 26, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. APR. 20 & 27 @ 8 pm | SUN. APR. 21 & 28 @ 2 pm

Blonde sorority sister, beauty queen, and perfect pink fashionista Elle Woods doesn’t take “no” for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone “serious,” Elle lays down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. Come and witness the power of pink!


Some people sit on their butts; got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.That’s living for some people, for some hum-drum people I suppose.Well, they can stay and rot! But not Rose! – mama rose (gypsy)

A woman is like a teabag, you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.– eleanor roosevelt

The Sound of MusicFRI. MAY 3 & 10, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. MAY 4 & 11 @ 2 pm & 8 pm | SUN. MAY 5 & 12 @ 2 pm

“The Hills Are Alive with The Sound of Music” – whenever Maria is around. Proving too high-spirited for religious life, Maria is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval officer, Captain Von Trapp. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generous spirit, clash with the Captain, his fiancée, and finally the Nazis who seize power of her Austrian homeland. The Yardley Players are proud to present this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, one of the world’s most beloved musicals.……………………………………………………………………………………

We’re all strangers. But after a while you get used to it. You become deeper strangers. That’s a sort of love. – Frank Vecchio

On Golden PondFRI. JUNE 14 & 21, 2013 @ 8 pm | SAT. JUNE 15 & 22 @ 8 pm | SUN. JUNE 16 & 23 @ 2 pm

This warmly perceptive study of a spirited, elderly couple facing their twilight years was later made into a hit motion picture starring Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda. Norman Thayer, a cranky 80-year-old retired professor, makes his annual summer pilgrimage with his wife Ethel to their New England summer cottage on a lake called Golden Pond. Their solitude is interrupted when the couple’s daughter arrives with her fiancé and teenage son in tow. PinnWorth Productions presents this humorous and touching story of love that is both endearing and enduring.


Listen to me, mister. You’re my knight in shining armor. Don’t forget it. You’re going to get back on that horse and I’m going to be right behind you, holding on tight and away we’re going to go, go, go! – ethel (on golden pond)

Martha SpeaksSAT. OCT. 6, 2012 @ 2 p.m. & 4 p.m.

And she becomes outspoken – literally! Martha’s clever way with words saves the day in this doggone funny, new Theatreworks/USA musical based on the delightful Martha Speaks book series by Susan Meddaugh, and of course the TV series on PBS Kids.……………………………………………………………………………………

Dear Kelsey Theatre Friend,As a huge fan of Kelsey Theatre, I know firsthand the jewel that lies in the heart of Mercer County’s cultural community. With your help we have been able to upgrade sound and lighting systems and we are sincerely grateful!

But we still need your support. As we celebrate our Ruby Pink 40th Anniversary, we recognize that our facilities and equipment continue to age. The upgrades we seek will significantly improve the theater experience for all. Ticket revenues – which remain a fraction of the cost at most other performance venues – cover only a small portion of our operation.

We are very proud of the high quality of our productions and want to keep them great. Please support the Best Little Theater in Central New Jersey! Make your donation, large or small, when you complete your subscription order, or visit us at www.kelseytheatre.net.

Here’s to sharing many more glorious nights (and days) of drama, music, and laughter at Kelsey Theatre.

With warmth,

Dr. Patricia C. DonohueMCCC President……………………………………………………………………………………
