When and Where?

Vivid Stage’s audio described performance will take place on Sunday, April
19, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Vivid Stage is located at the Oakes Center at 120
Morris Avenue, Summit, NJ 07901. There are stairs by some entrances of the
Oakes Center, but the building can also be entered via ramp.

Ticket Information

Adult or Senior tickets for those attending the audio described performance
on April 19 are available at a discounted rate of $25. Simply select your
ticket and then add the code AUDIO in the "discount code" box. If you need
a companion to assist your attendance, Vivid Stage also offers an ADA comp,
which means that you would not need to pay for your companion’s ticket. To
purchase tickets, call 908-514-9654 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You can also
purchase tickets in person at the box office on the day of the show. The
box office is located inside the Oakes Center by the audience entrance to
the theater.

About the Show

It’s the Fall of 2021 and the Cellar Theatre is back in production after a
year of Zoom programming. When Lauren Ellis, the lead actress in the
Cellar’s production of the American classic "Midnight Cicadas," spots an
audience member filming the show with his phone, Lauren strikes back –
stopping the show and refusing to perform. A video of the incident goes
viral, bringing the Cellar praise for speaking out against poor theatre
etiquette. But when an online commenter gives an alternate interpretation
of the same event, the praise quickly turns bitter and the criticism begins
to mount. The overworked and underpaid staff suddenly have to navigate
in-fighting, diva tantrums, illegal vaping and internet trolls…not to
mention the Cellar’s problematic history.


After the performance on Sunday, there will be a free talkback. Talkbacks
provide the audience an opportunity to ask questions and hear more about
the performance from people who worked on the show! For more information
about the show and Vivid Stage, visit the Vivid Stage Website

possible in part by a grant from the New Jersey Theater Alliance, a
nonprofit service organization that promotes, supports, and strengthens the
nonprofit professional theaters of New Jersey and the region.
