Last weekend SCP kicked off it’s fourteenth season with a fundraiser event at the Atlantic Moviehouse. Featuring our favorite love songs and incorporating short videos from past productions, patrons were treated to an evening of dazzling live music and delicious gourmet desserts - a true feast for the senses! “Lovestruck” also marked SCP’s first collaboration with The Atlantic Moviehouse and Julio’s Pizza Co. both located on First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands. We hope to host more events at the Moviehouse this season and look forward to a continued partnership with Julio’s.
All proceeds from the event will go towards the purchase of a new light board for our homebase, the historic All Saints’ Memorial Church. Please enjoy these photos, taken by local photographer Alexander Ajello (unless otherwise noted). You can view more of Alex’s work at alexander-ajello.darkroom.tech.
Thank you to everyone who was involved, especially:
Tony and Susanne Zertuche of the Atlantic Moviehouse
Brendan and Erin Smith of Julio’s Pizza Company
Professor Butter Beard
The Reverend Debbie Cook
Valerie Schauer
Robert Weinstein

We have so many fun events and productions planned for this season. Be sure to join us as “Shakespeare in the Sheds” returns this June with what is sure to be a memorable presentation of Hamlet.
