Centenary Stage Company’s Young Audience Series to present 'If You Give A Moose A Muffin'

HACKETTSTOWN — The Centenary Stage Company presents "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 11 a.m. in the Little Theater on the Campus of Centenary College.

In this hilarious music-filled play, a young girl entertains a gregarious moose by giving him a muffin. If a big hungry moose wants a muffin, he’ll surely wan some jam to go with it. So begins the comic complications of an adventure.
