April's Carousel @ the Surflight

Our Gang's Carousel

Our Gang presented this classic musical to enthusiastic audiences in early April! Thank you to all our supporters, cast, crew, and staff for helping us produce this dramatic testimony to the power of love! Directed by Jessica O'Brien-Roy. Opening night Friday, April 5; also performed on April 6 and 7.

OGP looks forward to returning to the Surflight again next winter! Remember to also support their 2013 season; details and show schedules can be found at www.surflight.org.

Our Gang's Winter "Home"

Thank you, Surflight Theatre!

Our Gang's The Last Five Years

Our Gang's Arsenic & Old Lace

Our Gang is grateful to the Surflight Theatre for welcoming us this winter! So far, our busy winter season has thrived at the Surflight as we both do our part to "restore the shore" on LBI!

In February, we performed the classic comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace, and in March we performed the modern romantic musical The Last Five Years. Our audience, casts, and crew have enjoyed the experience a great deal! And the Surflight staff has been gracious and accomodating.

Long Beach Island is returning from its long, hard, winter and a warmer season is springing up at the Surflight -- up next for us is the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, Carousel. Don't miss your chance to experience this Our Gang production in the wonderful Surflight setting!

January fundraiser success

Beans, Biscotti and Broadway!

Our Gang's Beans, Biscotti and Broadway

Thanks to all who came out to see a terrific cabaret-style show at the STAC in late January -- especially those who braved the snow/ice-storm on Friday night! You helped Our Gang raise $2500 to help our operating expenses as we gear up for a very busy season.

Special thanks to the wonderful cast, our team of volunteers, and to Jessica O'Brien who directed and arranged a great show!

What a fantastic "Junior" show!!
