Centenary Stage Company continues its month-long Fringe Festival with The Simon & Garfunkel Songbook Show. The limited engagement will run November 7 through November 10, in the Edith Kutz Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center on the campus of Centenary University at 715 Grand Avenue in Hackettstown, NJ.
A uniquely entertaining music and multimedia event, The Simon & Garfunkel Songbook Show chronicles the extraordinary career of Simon & Garfunkel. The music speaks for itself and is anchored by Rex Fowler, co-founder of the renowned folk/rock duo Aztec Two-Step, and his wife Dodie Pettit, an original cast member of Broadway’s greatest success story, Phantom of The Opera. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Roues rounds out the music side. The Simon & Garfunkel Songbook Show's storyline was originally created by Pete Fornatale, the late great pioneer of progressive FM radio and author of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bookends biography. Now narrating, emceeing and manning the multimedia show is WCWP radio host Tony Traguardo, Fornatale's dear friend and protégé, and co-founder of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Nostalgia and laughter abound, and a sing a-long is always in the mix.
