TOMS RIVER, NJ – The Exit 82 Theatre Company in Downtown Toms River is thrilled to re-open their Studio Theater with a full 2022 season including musicals, plays, children’s programming, community nights, concerts, and more playing throughout the year.
Kicking off the Main Stage season, Exit 82 will feature Broadway’s Musical Comedy: FIRST DATE playing March 18 – 27, 2022. When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. Can this couple turn what could be an all-too-familiar dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
Up next, the theater will host the 4th annual Toms River Pride celebration on Saturday, June 11th, 2022. In addition to the street festival, the Main Stage and Studio Theater will be packed with entertainment all day.
This summer, the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning show, RENT, will play July 21 – 31, 2022. Set in the East Village of New York City, this beloved musical is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.
Rounding out the mainstage season, the murder mystery comedy CLUE will run October 14 – 23, 2022. Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery! For the best pricing and VIP treatment, subscription packages are now on sale!
Since the theater industry shut down in 2020, Exit 82 has been slowly opening its doors back up, providing innovate, high quality and safe theatre to the community. Exit 82 Theatre Company produced a multi-venue, masked concert of The Rocky Horror Show in October 2021 and a pandemic-set original comedy, Julia Caesar, safely in masks at the Studio Theater in spring 2021. In the summer of 2021, the tribal rock musical, HAIR was produced at the Barnegat Bay Eco-center in Toms River, providing a full-scale musical production experience in an outdoor setting. After consistently adapting to various restrictions, the Studio Theater can finally re-open to produce a complete season.
The Exit 82 Studio Theater is located at 73 Main Street in downtown Toms River. Tickets and subscription packages are available online at www.exit82theatre.com.
