Melvin Ferd the Third wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor’s bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey’s first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He’s out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. It’s a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house. Featuring a wailin’ rock score, this comical musical has something for everyone to enjoy.

Description: Set in 1998, this comedy drama centers on a tightly knit Italian-American family whose grandson Nick dutifully visits his two sets of loving and loony grandparents for dinner every Sunday. His grandparents believe in the 3 F’s of family life — family, faith, and food. The sixth character is the woman whom his grandparents set Nick up with in hopes of preventing him from taking a job on the West coast.
