Event Series The Eleventh Hour!

The Eleventh Hour!

NJ, United States

The Eleventh Hour! is an original and irreverent rock musical comedy born in a New Brunswick, NJ basement. It's the end of the world in New Jersey! A burnout basement rocker and his ex-girlfriend, a rising star astrophysicist, may have the key to surviving the black hole bearing down on earth. If they can reconcile their feelings and manage a dangerous journey on the NJ Turnpike, they just may save their music, each other, and the mole people who live beneath them. Directed by: Mariella Klinger-Seamon & Dave Seamon
