Patricia M Kuran Cultural Arts Center

To celebrate Halloween, nonprofit Jersey Central Theatre Company will be performing a staged reading of a new play, featuring some New Jersey lore, on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 3:00 PM, at the Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center (The Carriage House) next to Fanwood Borough Hall.
“JANE, JOSEPH, AND THE JERSEY DEVIL” by Connor McKenna. Deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey reportedly lives a beast so horrible, so monstrous, its very name strikes fear into the hearts of those who have seen or heard of it. In 1820, “Piney” Jane is desperate to unravel the mysteries of the Jersey Devil. Who joins her search but the exiled king of Spain (and older brother to Napoleon), Joseph Bonaparte. Will they find the beast? Will they survive?
The cast will feature members of Actors’ Equity Association, the professional actors’ union.
Connor McKenna is a playwright, dramaturg, and musical book writer. He is a graduate of NYU Tisch with a BFA in dramatic writing and double major in linguistics. He has written six full-length plays and several shorter one-acts. His work has been performed with the Young Americans Theatre Company, Imaginarium NY, and Little &amp; Fierce Theatre Company.
Doors will open at 2:30 PM. Suggested cash contribution is $10.00 per person. No reservations; limited open seating.
The Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center is located next to Borough Hall at 135 Watson Rd. (off Martine Ave.), Fanwood, NJ, just one block north of the historic Fanwood Train Station on NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley Line.
In partnership with the Fanwood Cultural Arts Commission. For further information, or to be added to their email list, visit Jersey Central Theatre Company at <a href="https://www.jerseycentraltheatre.com." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">jerseycentraltheatre.com.</a>
This program is made possible in part by a 2026 HEART (History, Education, Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant from the Union County Board of County Commissioners.
