'The Miracle Worker' by Fool Moon Theater.
A theater company that has spent the past three years performing at Margate Community Church is in search of a new venue.
Fool Moon Theatre Company has performed on various stages throughout South Jersey since its inception in 2005.
Always wishing for a permanent residence, the company contracted with the Community Church for three years, often performing to sold-out crowds. Shows at the Community Church have included “Clue,” “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “The Miracle Worker” and “Proof.”
“We're looking for a partner that will help us grow the arts in South Jersey,” said Paul Herron, founder and artistic director of Fool Moon. “We had a great three years at Margate Community Church and thank them for their support.”
With the majority of Fool Moon’s current audience members residing in Atlantic and northern Cape May counties, the company would prefer to remain in the region, such as Ocean City, Galloway Township, Northfield, Egg Harbor Township and Somers Point. Additional needs, though not dealbreakers, include flexible seating, a stage, some existing lighting and sound equipment, and a rehearsal space.
'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to The Forum'“We are open to having conversations with any group or organization that may be able to help us find a space for our 2025 season,” Herron said. “We've talked to some organizations, but none can offer us space for the entire season. Our fear is that we may have to cancel most or all of the season. That would be unfortunate for our actors, tech crew, and audiences who enjoy quality theater, plus it would weaken the already-struggling arts community in South Jersey."
For the past two years, Fool Moon was voted Best Live Theater locally, and received numerous nominations for BroadwayWorld-New Jersey awards.
Any organizations wishing to discuss partnering with Fool Moon should contact Herron at 609-457-0903 or foolmoontheatre@gmail.com.
