PRODUCERS OF FINE ENTERTAINMENT

"Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.”
STEVEN PRESSFIELD

Veils

    Since 1997, Arjay Entertainment, Inc. has created work that have not only brought the arts to unusual locations, but has created a difference in people’s lives. We produce original shows and films, as well as specific special happenings and events.
   In 1998, in cooperation with the New York based theater company “The Open Book” we presented the Off-Broadway production of the hilarious HOBOKEN CHICKEN EMERGENCY at the Jan Hus Playhouse.
   In 2001, we produced VAUDEVILLE’S NOT DEAD, I’M KILLING IT EVERY NIGHT at the New York International Fringe Festival where it was nominated “Best In Show”. That show evolved into what became the musical STAGE STRUCK presented at the Society Hill Playhouse in 2002.
   In 2010, we produced DIVINE: Recollections Of Sarah Bernhardt a one-woman musical and a new variety show NAKED MAGIC for the Bloomfield New Arts Festival.
   In 2012, we produced an album of 12 original Christmas songs by composer Ralph Carbone. This album, produced by the remarkable Guy Parker, became THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS.
    In 2013 we co-produced the short film by director William Stribling: DOWN IN FLAMES : The True Story Of Tony 'Volcano' Valenci. This film went on to be featured in 21 film festivals and received ten awards, including being a finalist in the CINE awards for 2015.
    We are the co-producers of the award-winning film BEAR WITH US, a comedy romp, featuring Christy Romano, Mark Sullivan, Cheyenne Jackson and Alice Ripley.

Bear With Us

  BEAR WITH US is a crazy romp about a guy who attempts to propose to his girlfriend in the most romantic way possible, but his plan starts to fall apart when a ravenous bear stumbles on their charming cabin in the woods. Think “Jaws”. But much funnier. And with a bear instead of a shark.
   It’s a total comedy of errors that takes a comical look at just how far we'll go to preserve our relationships.
   The cast features Christy Romano, Mark Sullivan, Cheyenne Jackson , Kevin Carolan, Collin Smith and Alice Ripley.

The Magic Of Christmas

  Composer Ralph Carbone and R.J. Lewis collaborated on shows for more than a decade. In 2011, Ralph introduced the song, “Country Christmas," possessed with a wonderful combination of freshness and nostalgia.
   That began a year-long journey, sifting through Ralph's original music, as they unearthed or created twelve original Christmas songs.
Producer and musician Guy Parker, became part of the project and transformed the wonderful melodies into masterpieces: The Magic of Christmas.

The point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience's eyes. Where the germ of the idea came from is pretty much irrelevant. What matters to every theatre maker I know is speaking clearly to the audience 'right now.'
--LEE HALL

THEATRE

Interactive Theatre

   Arjay Entertainment has been presenting fun, interactive shows since the 1990's. For years we have created shows where characters engage guests and even get some of them to be part of the show!
   Often Murder Mystery companies inform the guests of a murder that 'happened' before they arrived. But we created unique pieces where the characters interact right at the beginning, and have the audience wonder who MIGHT end up the victim.
   When the 'murder' DOES occur, (caused by anything from poison to electrocution), we present a hilarious death scene, taking place in and around the audience.
   After that, accusations fly and a "detective" uncovers the clues that will help the audience select the killer.
