SHU Community Theatre

Mar Jennings, an Emmy®-nominated, nationally syndicated television host, award-winning Realtor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and influencer, adds storyteller and performer to his dynamic career with “Mar Jennings — ONE-MAN SHOW”, a powerful and deeply personal production debuting May 22, 2026, at Sacred Heart University Community Theatre.
Years in the making, the production reflects both a lifetime of experiences and a turning point toward giving back in a more profound way. The result is a deeply human performance that balances vulnerability with purpose. Blending storytelling, humor, and raw honesty, Jennings shares a journey of resilience, reinvention, and hope, offering the audience an intimate, unfiltered look at overcoming life’s most difficult moments.
“The hardest part is choosing what to reveal and what to hold sacred,” Jennings shares. “But if my story helps someone feel less alone, then every moment of discomfort is worth it.”
Mar Jennings — ONE-MAN SHOW promises to be emotional, inspiring, and unforgettable, designed to create a genuine connection between performer and audience, reminding people that hope is real, that healing is possible, and that none of us are alone in the dark.
100% of proceeds benefit The Center for Family Justice, supporting survivors of domestic violence and abuse.

New Haven Ballet Presents The Sleeping Beauty at the Shubert Theatre
This spring, New Haven Ballet invites audiences across Greater New Haven to experience the magic of classical ballet with The Sleeping Beauty, coming to the historic Shubert Theatre on Saturday, May 23 at 1:00 p.m.
Perfect for young audiences and longtime dance lovers alike, this enchanting production brings Princess Aurora’s beloved story to life through storybook magic and the sweeping score of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Thoughtfully adapted for today’s audiences, the performance offers a welcoming introduction to ballet while keeping all the beauty and wonder that has made this fairytale a classic for generations.
The heart of this production is the dancers themselves.
Students ages 4 to 18 will take the stage after months of dedication and artistic growth, sharing a performance that celebrates not only technique, but creativity, confidence, and joy. For many young performers, it’s a meaningful milestone and a chance to experience the excitement of live theater together.
For more than 40 years, New Haven Ballet has helped young dancers grow both on and off the stage, with many students continuing on to prestigious summer intensives, conservatories, and professional dance careers.
In addition to The Sleeping Beauty, the program will feature contemporary and Broadway inspired works, along with performances by the School’s Shared Ability artists. Together, the pieces reflect New Haven Ballet’s commitment to creating a space where every dancer can learn, grow, and shine.
Artistic Director Lisa Kim shares, “This performance is a chance for our students to come together and share what they have been working toward all year. We hope it inspires everyone in the audience.”
Following the performance, children and families are invited to meet the fairies from the ballet, a magical moment younger audience members won’t soon forget.
With a running time of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission, the performance is ideal for both first time balletgoers and devoted fans of dance.
Tickets start at $19 (plus ticketing fees) and are available at <a href="https://shubert.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">shubert.com</a>.
New Haven Ballet welcomes new students throughout the year, with summer programs offering dancers of all levels the opportunity to learn, grow, and build confidence through dance.
Reserve your tickets early and join us for an afternoon filled with music, magic, and the joy of live performance.
