Thanks to everyone for your patience as we sort through our venue complications for the new season. Unfortunately, our plans to stage The Pajama Game have been cancelled. However, our new plan for the winter months is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!

Exact show dates are, of course, TBA -- but we anticipate a late-March run of four performances. The theater/location is almost ironed-out, but can't be announced just yet. Stay tuned!

PRIMARY AUDITION for lead roles is
THIS WEDNESDAY, January 11!

Auditions will be held in the Music Room @ the Horbelt School in Barnegat, NJ. Be prepared to sing from the show; sheet music will be provided. The audition schedule is as follows:

6:30pm - Boys & Men (13 yrs +) who are interested in auditioning for lead/featured roles (Joseph, Brothers, Pharoah & Potiphar).

7:30pm - Girls & Women (13 yrs +) who are interested in auditioning for lead/featured roles (Narrator[s], Potiphar's Wife & Brothers' Wives).

There will be another call (TBA, hopefully next week) for all others (13 yrs +) who are interested in ensemble. There will also be another call (TBA) for children (6-13 yrs) for the kids' choir.

Please also be prepared to fill out the paperwork & pay your registration fee ($60, which includes a show shirt). If you previously paid registration for PJ Game, it will be applied toward Joseph.

Even if you auditioned for PJ Game, you still must re-audition for Joseph, according to the above schedule.

Any other questions/comments should be directed to director Lou (ldm92j@aol.com) or Sherry (ogmamma@aol.com).

Almost 130 performers helped us celebrate the Christmas season in Our Gang's own "Christmas Under the Sea" in early December 2011.

First performed in 1977, this season's version featured our first- through eighth-grade actors.

Special thanks to our families, friends, supporters, staff, and crew!

Thanks to all who joined us at the Stafford Township Arts Center to experience this classic musical! Period costumes and sets helped bring 1830s London to the STAC stage - all under the direction of Our Gang's own Perry-award winner, Jessica O'Brien!

We hoped for six performances but the final show was cancelled due to all the hullabaloo around Hurricane Irene. But the first five were unforgettable -- congrats to cast, crew, and everyone involved!

On Friday, August 26 the threat of Hurricane Irene led to local-area evacuations and cancelled our final performance. Then, due to the existing schedule of the Stafford Twp. School District, another show was not able to be scheduled. Our Gang Players, Inc. will do what we can to make good on all prepaid tickets for the Friday, August 26 show.

Thanks for your patience and kindness. We appreciate all our members and patrons, and all the love and support throughout the past 34 years!!
