Centenary Stage Company’s Fringe Festival will feature two more shows this November to round out the month-long event. Taking the stage are “The Simon and Garfunkel Songbook Show” and “Kvetches of 1932.”

“The Simon and Garfunkel Songbook Show” will run Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 7-10 and “The Kvetches of 1932” the following week, Nov. 14-17. Tickets start at $25 for adults with discounts available for seniors, students, and children under 12.

The performances will be held in the Edith Kutz Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center on the campus of Centenary University. Shows will be held, during their respective runs, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.

“The Simon and Garfunkel Songbook Show” is a unique music and multimedia event that chronicles the career of the famous singers. Be prepared for nostalgia, laughter, and maybe even a sing-a-long.

Get ready for a wild ride: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll krechtz (grunt in mild discomfort) when “Kvetches of 1932” takes up the stage. Featuring songs and comic sketches from Yiddish and American vaudeville, you don’t have to understand Yiddish to be in on this joke. The production stars Yelena Shmulenson and Allen Lewis Rickman, the shtetl couple from the Coen brothers’ “A Serious Man.”

The box office is open Monday through Friday from 1–5 p.m. and two hours prior to every scheduled performance.
