The 2021 edition of Centenary Stage Company’s annual January Thaw Music Festival will offer both in-person and socially distanced options. The concerts will take place in the Sitnik Theatre at the Lackland Performing Arts Center at Centenary University in Hackettstown, but those who want to watch online will be able to do so.
