Tickets for all performances are $5 per person. From 1 to 2 p.m. on Dec. 10 at the Senior Center the Players will host a Victorian Tea Service. A selection of teas and baked goods will be served for a cost of $5 per person. The tea service will end at 2 p.m., before the performance of "Heidi." Tea patrons who want to see the 2 p.m. show must purchase show tickets separately. As seating for the tea service is very limited, reservations are required.

"Heidi" is a 45-minute play by Jean Simonson based on the classic book by Johanna Spyri about the life of a young girl who lives in the Alps with her grandfather. Simonson directs the cast, whose members include: Lou Cerny, Krysia Dour, Cy Friedman, Susan Hatch, Jessica Holster, Lynda Kolvik and Dina Nicholas. In the role of Heidi, 8-year-old Caitie Kosciolek makes her first performance with the Players in this production. For information about both events, call 973-663-3340 or e-mail jcp2009@verizon.net.
