This February, Black Box Performing Arts Center will present “Forgotten Classics” stage reading series offering in-person and virtual viewing options.

As New Jersey schools adapt to “hybrid learning,” Englewood’s Black Box Performing Arts Center pivots to present “hybrid theater.” Throughout the month of February, Black Box PAC is debuting a new series, “Forgotten Classics,” a staged reading series of lesser known works of famous playwrights such as Ibsen and Chekov. The plays feature a small cast of actors.

Performance Schedule

  • Buchner’s Woyzeck: February 5th-7th
  • Strindberg’s Miss Julie: February 12th-14th
  • Chekhov’s The Bear and The Proposal: February 19th-21st
  • Ibsen’s Ghosts: February 26th-28th

All performances begin at 8:00 pm and will follow a “hybrid” model of being streamed online with a few seats available for in-person viewing.

To purchase tickets, visit www.BlackBoxPAC.com. To obtain a streaming link, select “Virtual” and you will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the event.

In-person seating is extremely limited and must be reserved in advance. Seats will be spread out, with those who purchased together grouped together. Everyone must fill out a COVID screening form prior to entering the building. Masks are required 100% of the time and there is no eating or drinking allowed inside the building. Theater doors will be propped open to allow for air flow. While there is heating inside, it is recommended that audience members wear layers to adjust to the fluctuating temperature.
