A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ "gardener" with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod -- a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage November 8-17, 2013.

Friday and Saturdays at 8pm Thursday Nov. 14th at 7 pm Sundays at 3 pm $20.00 general admission $15 students and seniors NJ Arts Cards are accepted for discounted ticket pricing.

A company of three generations of African American women with hattitude and one man form the cast of Crowns, a moving and celebratory musical play. The music, a combination of African tribal music, Hip-Hop, and gospel moves the story in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of black history and identity as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South after her brother is killed in Brooklyn. Hats are everywhere and the characters use the hats to tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social functioning.

Attic Ensemble, theater at Barrow Mansion: "Next Fall"

Geoffrey Nauffts’ NEXT FALL takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play’s central story focuses on the five-year relationship between Adam and Luke, NEXT FALL goes beyond a typical love story. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to.

The Attic Ensemble is located in The Barrow Mansion, 83 Wayne Street. Opening night is  November 17th, at 7:00 p.m.

The Pillowman -The Attic Ensemble

The Pillowman
by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Billy Mitchell
Featuring: William Allgood, Eddie Capuano, Bill Graber, Benjamin Holmes

Irish playwright Martin McDonagh's award-winning -remarkably dark- black comedy is a spine-chilling story of fact versus fiction. A writer is arrested when children in his vicinity begin dying savagely, in ways resembling his stories. The interrogation includes his brother, two unpredictable investigators, and the telling of several stories which led to the writer's arrest.
