By: Peter Galman, Marketing Director October marks the company’s 11th anniversary, and the 2011-2012 Season will be the company’s seventh season as the professional theater in residence at New Jersey City University, all under the stewardship of Producing Artistic Director Colette Rice. The Season 2011-2012 theme is "Rough Magic", inspired by Prospero in The Tempest, who marks his return to duty, civilization, and his own humanity with the vow, “This Rough Magic I here abjure.” “What is the Rough Magic that keeps us from fulfilling our destinies, and living lives of truth and honor?
