  • Fun Home

    When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires.

    Adapted from Alison Bechdel’s groundbreaking graphic novel, Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

    Presented by the Department of Music and Theatre Arts, Fun Home features Director Sheri Anderson, Choreographer by Bob Boross, Musical Director of George Wurzbach and Assistant Director Annie Sacks.

    Fun Home is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

  • Virtual Blue Hawk Records Release Show for “Reviver”

    With the ever-changing, and at times frightening outside world, there is one thing that’s for certain: nothing can stop the music. Blue Hawk Records has been grinding to perfect their seventeenth compilation album, Reviver. Since the start of the fall 2020 semester, the team has been meeting regularly, held in-person and virtual auditions, went into Lakehouse Recording Studio in Asbury Park to record, mix, and master the album, and is set for an upcoming virtual release show. The release show will be held on Instagram live on December 9 starting at 8 pm. The Instagram handle to tune in to is @bluehawkrecordsoffical.

    Included are two rappers, Hasan Chambers and Gabe Garza, otherwise known as Double G, both whose songs take the listener through a story-like experience with a moving message. A&R reps Ethan Christensen and Mikey Sacnhez, helped arrange, and recorded on, artist Charlie Krause’s piano-based song “Those Green Eyes”, giving it a driving full-band sound. Nick Garretch and his band, White Wing, contributed a modern day, fist-pumping, rock track with “Out All Night”. With the team’s help, Monmouth freshman and solo singer-songwriter, Abby Garcia, took her once acoustic-only song, “Silver Linings” and added various musical elements to give it a very current and mystical sound. Rapper-Singer, Justin Ume, known as UME, who already has an impressive following, contributed the hit-sounding pop track, “At The Tone”.

    The Live release show will be hosted by one of Monmouth University’s WMCX top DJ’s, Kayla Booker, and will feature live performances by our artists.

  • CANCELLED – Gemini

    The play is set in the backyard of two adjoining houses in the working class neighborhood of South Philadelphia. They are about to celebrate the 21st birthday of Francis Geminiani, a Harvard student, when two classmate friends from Harvard and Yale, Judith and Randy, show up unexpectedly. Since there isn’t a spare bedroom in either house they pitch a tent in the backyard. Francis’ classmates, the wealthy Judith seeks romance with Francis not realizing that her brother Randy is the object of Francis’ unexpressed affection. Each of the characters in the play are dysfunctional to some degree and their celebration of Francis’ birthday brings out the best of comedy and drama. The birthday party is a series of comic incidents that provide laughter and serious realizations that lead up to the final joyous ending. The crazy fast moving celebration leaves each character a bit wiser and happier having celebrated Francis’ 21st birthday.
