Blue Moon Theatre

by Michael McKeon One consistent hassle in life we can all agree on, regardless of your own personal demographic, is that dealing with salesmen is a necessary evil. Whether it be buying a car, a home, or hell even a cell phone you must sit down at the table and play the game. Then you must decide if this person on the other side of the table is genuine or has a motive. How can you get the best deal? Should you look somewhere else for a better price? The Blue Moon Theatre

by Michael McKeon This past Saturday I was able to visit my favorite South Jersey community theater, The Blue Moon Theatre. I love everything about this little theater, including the beautiful scenic drive I get to enjoy on the way there. I had the opportunity to see The Blue Moon Theatre’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest directed by Stacey Bachman and Assistant Director Mike Russell. The Importance of Being Earnest was written by Oscar Wilde in 1894 and debut

by: Josh Buffington Before seeing this show, I was familiar with majority of the music and was hoping to hear beautiful harmonies and see hilarious acting. As I walked into the theatre, I was immediately greeted with smiling faces and numerous kind people at the box office, as well as the ushers. A fun touch that was added was the opportunity to have audience members onstage. The ushers asked if audience members were interested and had them fill out a form with your name an

by Stephen T. Kreal On Friday October 3rd, I attended the opening night performance of Ghost: The Musical with a very enthusiastic audience at The Blue Moon Theatre in Woodstown NJ. Originally produced in 2011 in England and on Broadway in April 2012, Ghost: The Musical is an adaptation of the iconic 1990 film starring Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, and the late Patrick Swayze. The film's Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Bruce Joel Rubin, adapted the story for the stage bei

by April Johnson The weekend of June 6th, 2025, I had the opportunity to return to the quaint yet powerful Blue Moon Theater. I have to say that I was honored and excited to view another production from this impressive theater company. Although the venue is small in stature, it is packed with power to present popular as well lesser known productions. Arriving at the front door, I was welcomed by the surfside motif including a beach chair, ball, along with other items of be

by Aimee Renna Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Steel Magnolias at The Blue Moon Theatre in Woodstown. If you have never attended a show here prior, it is a small black box theater located on the ground floor of the old Opera House along Main Street. While the building has stood the test of time, The Blue Moon theatre is a much more recent engagement of the last decade by the valiant efforts of the Stark family and their board. Steel Magnolias is a two act play follow

by Stephen Kreal On Friday, January 31st, 2025, I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance of Neil Simon’s “Rumors” at Blue Moon Theater in Woodstown, NJ. The play was directed by Dominic Spadaccini (who was also in the cast, due to a medical situation involving a cast member) and stage managed by Donna Halpin. “Rumors” was originally published in 1988, it made its Broadway debut on November 17th, 1988. Notable names of that original cast include Ron Lei

by M. Smith The autumn leaves are falling, the time for telling stories and reminiscing has come; a time of memories and recollections, a time for families and friends to sit around and reflect on the year that was. You reflect on the years that were a thing of the past, the journey you’ve taken, and how it has all led to where you are now. A similar story of memories can be found at the Blue Moon Theatre’s Production of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. As one o

by Mike McKeon Bigger is not always better! I had the privilege of visiting The Blue Moon Theatre on Friday evening, and it would be the second production I’ve seen there since discovering them in February 2024. I must say, after only two visits, I am absolutely falling in love with this quaint little theatre. Although it is a small venue the passion for putting on a good show by all involved, from the concession stand to the lead roles, is unrivaled. As soon as you walk i

by April Johnson June 8th, 2024. It was a mild early summer Saturday afternoon when I visited the quaint and welcoming Blue Moon Theater, tucked away in Woodstown, NJ, to see the production “Charlotte’s Web” based on the beloved tale written by E.B. White and adapted by Joseph Robinette. The auditorium floor was laced with fallen leaves indicating autumn. The stage was pensively set as a farmhouse-styled writing room, laced with cobwebs, a large steer, and netting; along w

by Aimee Ferenz Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace has opened at The Blue Moon Theater with roaring laughter and flowing drinks. The Three Act dark comedy follows the story of two sweet elderly aunts, Abby and Martha, who live off of a large sum of money that their father made in Brooklyn in the early 20th century. They are accompanied in the play by their nephews: Mortimer, a dramatic critic; Teddy, a kind man who believes himself to be President Roosevelt; and Johnat

by Aimee Ferenz Opening night at the Blue Moon Theater is back again, this time with Lorraine Ranalli’s collection of 4 one act plays called La Familglia. Directed by a co-founder of the Blue Moon, Cheryl Stark, the show is a delight as it explores the dysfunction of an Italian-Philadelphian family. Stark also prepared costumes, set/light design with Mike Russell, and props with Angela Robb. Stark also worked scene changes with light/sound tech Jolee Farrah. I am particularl

by Evan Harris I grew up in Mount Laurel, NJ, and now live in Westville, right on the border of Deptford. My whole life, I have lived in big places with many people. There were over 500 people in my high school class. There were people who I went to school with from kindergarten through high school that I never even met. I always viewed “community” as something you must seek out if it is something you desire. But I recently started working in Alloway Township, NJ. A town

by Kristine Bonaventura At its core, The Rocky Horror Show is a cult classic, bringing together an audience of every age, background, and every type of social misfit imaginable for a night of absurdity and fun. I had the pleasure of seeing The Blue Moon Theatre’s production this Friday, and it surely lives up to that ideal. From the second you step onto the property, you’re immediately propelled to ‘Frankenstein’s Place’, as you’re greeted by Ushers costumed head to toe in t
