This equal opportunity offender is a regular on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. She recently joined the ranks of comic greats and added her first ever one-hour HBO comedy special, "Long Live the Queen," to her resume, with a CD and DVD of the special to follow. Tickets are $16.50 & $19.50 and available at The Patriots Theater Box Office at (609) 984-8400, (800) 955-5566 or online at thewarmemorial.com or tickets.com and a 10% Military Discount (Box office only, must show ID).

Tomie DePaola's Strega Nona	Feb 20, 2010 2:00pm	1 Memorial drive trenton, nj
Based on the children's books by Tomie DePaola, Strega Nona is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch- with a funny name- who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria . The baker has bunions ("As big as an onion"), his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. The town faces real problems when a local lug named Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses Strega Nona's magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can't figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town -- unless Strega Nona can save the day. With an energetic and tuneful score by composer Aron Accurso, this fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good, and that and you can't judge a pot by its pasta! Tickets are $16.50 & $19.50 and available at The Patriots Theater Box Office at (609) 984-8400, (800) 955-5566 or online at thewarmemorial.com or tickets.com and a 10% Military Discount (Box office only, must show ID). 20% discount of 15 or more!
