Stockton, South Jersey AIDS Alliance Team Up to Spread Awareness

A staple continues Saturday night, March 31 when the South Jersey AIDS Alliance joins forces with the Stockton Theatre Club to present the “Ultimate Date Night.”

A Night of Sex was created to promote a night of sexual health, awareness and acceptance to raise funds for the theater club’s annual trip to the American College Theatre Festival. It has turned into an annual event in which 100 percent of ticket sales benefit the South Jersey AIDS Alliance.

This year, Stockton alum David Waldron and his producing partners, Diane Neal and Christine Guzzardo, in association with the Stockton Theatre Club, will unveil a show that celebrates the long running success of the series, cast with both students and celebrities.

The pre-show begins at 6 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center Lobby. Booths will be set up to promote sexual awareness, safety, health and acceptance. Three panels of AIDS quilts will be on display, and free condoms, resources for local women's health centers and information on personal safety will be available. Representatives from various campus and charitable groups will be on hand, and patrons will be able to participate in interactive educational games.

The performance begins at 8 p.m., and consists of scenes, monologues and musical numbers straight out of popular Broadway shows, including The Vagina Monologues, Chicago and Spring Awakening, among others.

Tickets are on sale now at the Richard Stockton Performing Arts Center Box Office. Currently enrolled Stockton student tickets are $5 and general admission is $25. To purchase tickets, call the Stockton Performing Arts Box office, 609-652-9000.
