"And Then Came Tango" at The Growing Stage

The Growing Stage, The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey, will present the world premiere of "And Then Came Tango" on Friday, March 6th. Inspired by a true story, the play revolves around the case of two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo who established a bond to hatch an orphaned egg. Written by Emily Freeman, and featuring choreography by Jillian Petrie and original music by Paul Marbach, "And Then Came Tango" is a celebration of tolerance and the eternal instinct that guides one generation to care for the next. Producer Christopher Benincasa recently spoke with the show’s director Stephen L. Fredericks about this world premiere.
