See 'One-Man Star Wars Trilogy' In January At Avenel PAC

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — If you're looking for things to do after the holidays, here's a new show coming up in January at the brand-new Avenel Performing Arts Center, which just opened in April in Woodbridge.

Canadian actor and self-described uber geek Charles Ross brings his solo madcap creation "One Man Star Wars Trilogy" to the Avenel Performing Arts Center Friday, January 10 at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

In what promises to be a mind-bending whirlwind of a show, Ross retells the classic bad hair trilogy in 60 minutes — no costumes, no props, no sets — all the characters, the music, the ships and the battles. If your kid’s name is Chewbacca, this show is a no-brainer. If not, get your nerd on and experience the global sensation loved by audiences from London’s West End, Off-Broadway, Dubai, the Sydney Opera House, Lucasfilm and Charlie’s mom. The Force is strong with this one.

Tickets are $39.50 with fees applied at purchase. Seniors 65+ and active military get 10% off. Groups 10 or more receive 15% off.

The Avenel Performing Arts Center is located at 150 Avenel Street, at the site of what used to be the former General Dynamics plant. General Dynamics abandoned the plant in the 1960s and the massive factory laid dormant until the early 2000s, when Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac designated the 27-acre lot as a redevelopment zone. The arts center is part of a plan to revitalize downtown Woodbridge and Avenel as a hub for the arts.

"One-Man Star Wars Trilogy" is written and performed by Ross with direction by TJ Dawe. It is performed with permission of Lucasfilm Ltd.
