Centenary Stage Company

In the stand-out "Who Will Buy" production number, we counted 32 adult performers...The supporting cast is also blessed with outstanding voices, for example, in the "Who Will Buy" number there is Tanya Wheelock as the Rose Seller...
Fun, Glorious, Fun at the Centenary Stage Company's terrific 'Oliver'' by Rick Busciglio (Examiner.com)
Transcendently beautiful is the performance of "Who Will Buy." It begins with a bit of "Where Is Love?" and blossoms into the beautiful street sellers' cries ("who will buy, my sweet red roses two blooms for a penny"). Each solo voice and note—the housekeeper (Maria Brodeur), Oliver (Anthony Zas), the Rose Seller (Tanya Wheelock), the Knife Grinder (Emilio Tiri), the Strawberry Seller (Christine Mase), and the Song Seller (Saquan Williams)—along with the choral work of others, contribute to the haunting beauty of the piece.

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

Centenary Stage Company
Direction & Set Design by Tanya Wheelock
The Vagina Monologues, something audiences will long remember, was a moving, inspiring production...

[Tanya] decided on this particular play because of her love for theatre and her desire to help those in need. For V-Day, Centenary College joined in a global effort to end violence against both women and girls. This play was intended to raise funds and awareness ... Ten percent of the net profits made from the Centenary College production went toward the V-Day 2010 Spotlight on Women of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Any additional money made went to the Jersey Battered Women's Service.

I attended opening night and thought that Wheelock did a great job in direction ...  Each girl fit the part perfectly. The play was highly entertaining and informative ... It all would not have been possible without everyone onstage and behind the scenes working as well together as they did.
