Dunellen Theatre

A Rose

Came for the 100th birthday celebration of the Theater. We moved to Dunellen 2 years ago and have been excited to support the theater. For a community celebration, it was an awkward, rude, and confusing experience. There was a table at the entrance but no one looked up to greet guests arriving or explain the raffles (?). We arrived when live music was scheduled to be playing according to all their advertisements. Instead there was a guy on stage obviously trying to kill time and was telling horrible and offensive jokes. He clearly couldn’t read his audience if he is a comedian. The crowd was elderly women and families with young children and he was telling crude and intentionally offensive “jokes”. We ended up leaving after enduring as much as we could of this guy with no musician in sight. We love historic buildings and want to support the theater. But this community celebration made a terrible first impression on us and we won’t be likely to attend future events if this is representative of how they are.
