Harlem Wizards Will Play At Middletown North March 11

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — The Harlem Wizards are coming to Middletown.

The Harlem Wizards will put on a show at Middletown High School North (63 Tindall Road) March 11. The game begins at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m. It should end at 9 p.m.

The Harlem Wizards, similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, will bring their dazzling basketball tricks and community entertainment.

This is a fundraiser put on by the New Monmouth Elementary School PTA; the New Monmouth PTA invited the Wizards to come to Middletown. Proceeds from the game will go to the New Monmouth PTA, which is currently trying to raise money for a new playground.

You can purchase tickets in advance or at the door. General admission tickets are $22, and tickets for kids in grades K-12 are $18. Children 3 and under are FREE and do not need a ticket. Purchase tickets in advance here: https://pretix.eu/harlemwizard...

In total, it will cost approximately $200,000 to build a new playground at New Monmouth Elementary, one of the PTA mom members told Patch. New Monmouth needs a new playground, she said, in part because the elementary school's student population doubled when the Middletown school district closed Port Monmouth Elementary in 2020, sending all those students to New Monmouth.
