‘If You Give a Moose a Muffin’ to Be Presented at WheatonArts

MILLVILLE — The New Jersey Theatre Alliance presents Centenary Theater Company’s production of “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” on March 29 at 2 p.m. in the WheatonArts Event Center. This free event is part of the New Alliance’s Stages Festival, the state’s largest annual theatre festival that provides discounted and free theatre performances, workshops and events for all ages throughout the month of March.
The Stages Festival is a statewide program offering free and discounted tickets to performances, workshops, classes and events at the states professional theatres, partner performing arts centers, as well as libraries, schools, senior centers and museums. The program was developed to encourage New Jersey’s residents to attend their local professional theatres by making the experience affordable, accessible and fun.
All across the state, patrons will receive free and discounted tickets to over 100 performances and special events, including classes and workshops for all ages. Since its inception 17 years ago, the program has served over 80,000 people.
“If You Give a Moose a Muffin” is described by the theater company as a hilarious sequel to “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” where the young host is again run ragged by a surprise guest. Young people will delight in the comic complications that follow when the young host entertains a gregarious moose.
