Press Release

Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver to Address 200 Girls at Statewide ‘Celebration of Womanhood: Fabulous Me’ Conference in South Orange

Newark, NJ June 11, 2013:   New Jersey Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essex) will be the keynote speaker when some 200 pre-teen and teenage girls from throughout the state gather for the ‘Second Annual Celebration of Womanhood, Fabulous Me’ Conference on June 11 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Seton Hall University in South Orange.

 

  Oliver will speak on the theme of leadership and share her journey to success with the young women, ages 12-17, during the conference hosted by The Family Service Bureau of Newark, an affiliate of New Community Corporation. The theme for the day is “Strengthening the Leader Within Me” and the conference is expected to attract girls from Atlantic to Hudson counties.

 

During the second half of the conference, the young ladies will attend breakout sessions where the topics range from Self-Esteem Building and Healthy Relationship Building to Life After High School and Goal Setting.

 

 Entertainment will include an exclusive performance by the Rutgers University Scream Theater, addressing Teen Dating Violence. The closing ceremony will feature an extraordinary interactive demonstration led by African Drummers,  designed to leave the young ladies feeling unified and empowered as they bring home a new sense of what Fabulous female leadership means to them.

 

 

Funded by the New Jersey Governor’s Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Committee  and administered by the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission, this year’s conference is co-sponsored by Seton Hall University’s Marriage & Family Therapy Program.

 

 

 

Young ladies interested in attending the conference are encouraged to contact Latesha Jenkins, conference planner, at (973)286-2826 or via email at Ms.LJenkins@gmail.com.

400 S Orange Ave, South Orange, NJ
When: Weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
Time: 10:30 pm–4:30 pm

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University presents “Cell Mates” two group exhibitions curated by Jeanne Brasile, Gallery Director and Lisbeth Murray, Independent Guest Curator.  The exhibitions feature artists working on the cusp of art and science by integrating methodologies or concepts borrowed from science.  A wide range of topics related to cellular forms will be presented, creating a discursive exploration into microorganisms and concerns derived from their study.  Aside from addressing modes of creation inspired by science, the strategy of creating two shows on the same topic, side-by-side, will similarly articulate the creative nature of curatorial practice and how two curators, using the same narrative framework can come to very different aesthetic and thematic conclusions. 

Lisbeth Murray, currently with Robert Miller Gallery, notes “I am particularly interested in how artists obscure or pronounce the delineation between artistic and scientific practices.  There is a notable emphasis on curiosity that is common to both professions.”  Cell Mates curated by Jeanne Brasile features artists; Gabe Benzur, Matt Drissell, Jordan Eagles, Sarah Fattori, Lorrie Fredette, Laura Gravenstine, Marianne Hamel & Nikki Johnson, Phil Hastings, Jeanne Heifetz, Caitlin McCormack, Vikki Michalios and Shuli Sadé.  Lisbeth Murray’s exhibition includes artists Suzanne Anker, Jordan Eagles, Lorrie Fredette, Phil Hastings, Jeanne Heifetz, Taehee Kim, Hyungsub Shin, Amanda Thackray, Linda Tien and Joyce Yamada.  The included artists work in a variety of media including sculpture, painting, digital photography, installation and other mixed-media formats.  A full color exhibition catalogue  is available at the Walsh Gallery.

New Vision Players Holds Auditions For Les Miserables

When: June 1, 2013 / June 3, 2013 / June 4, 2013
Time: 1:00 pm–7:00 pm

From the community theater company who recently brought you INTO THE WOODS and CELEBRATE THE MAGIC: A CABARET, New Vision Players is holding auditions for their summer 2013 musical: LES MISERABLES!


INFORMATION
This international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world. LES MISÉRABLES is a sung-through musical based on the novel of the same name by French poet and playwright Victor Hugo. It has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boublil 
and Jean-Marc Natel, with an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer. 

In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can 
change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter. His world-view shattered, Javert commits suicide, and Valjean at last attains the peace he has sought for so long.

Epic, grand and uplifting, LES MISÉRABLES packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world.

James Maddock at Hamilton Stage in Rahway, NJ

0
0
Location: 360 Hamilton St, Rahway, NJ 07065
When: June 7, 2013
Time: 8:00 pm–11:00 pm

With the July release of his new album, Another Life, just around the corner, James Maddock affirms his status as a fixture in downtown Manhattan’s folk and Americana scene. As NPR says of the British transplant, “his timeless songwriting style, which seems to draw from great songwriters of every era, conveys quiet confidence and lovely intimacy.”

Nodding to ‘70s rock with shimmering acoustic guitars, an understated rhythm section and flourishes of fiddle, mandolin, piano and dobro, Another Life bridges the mainstream appeal of songwriters like Jesse Harris and Norah Jones and the quirkier sensibility of Loudon Wainwright. With funding entirely from fan contributions through PledgeMusic, James worked with producer Matt Pierson, multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (who’s played with Bob Dylan and Levon Helm) and bassist Tony Scherr (who plays with Norah Jones).

The 13 songs on Another Life paint a portrait of a man reaching the midpoint of his life, a natural progression from themes in James' earlier releases. He’s looking back on roads not taken, and isn’t always sure he chose the right one. On the title track, James wants an extra 50 years to try “acting, white-water rafting,” “some illegal substances,” even having a kid or three. “I’ve Been There Too,” built around an indelible guitar riff, shows James’ knack for instrumental hooks as well as lyrical ones. “Don’t Go Lonely,” in a well-timed moment of levity, hints at reggae with dub bass, bubbling organ and the chorus’s entreaty to “go get high, go get found, go crazy on this town / don’t go lonely.”

After fronting the Columbia Records band Wood, whose debut Songs From Stamford Hill was featured prominently on TV shows such as Dawson’s Creek, James moved from England to New York City in 2003. His 2009 album Sunrise On Avenue C won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album, while follow-up Wake Up And Dream ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV's (NYC) Listener Poll. He's performed with Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nile, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and David Immergluck (Counting Crows), sang on an album with Susan McKeown, and is a resident artist at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. According to radio legend Vin Scelsa, Maddock's "heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted" music "touches the soul."

A seasoned live performer, James is sure to play songs from Another Life as well ashis earlier albums (including an old Wood favorite or two) at Hamilton Stage.  Tickets for this very special show are just $25 - log on to www.ucpac.org and get yours while the gettin's good!

Singer/Songwriter Collin J. Rocker: Country Blues for the Here and Now

0
Location: 45 Macculloch Ave, Morristown, NJ 07960
When: July 7, 2013
Time: 4:00 pm

On Sunday July 7th at 4pm, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum welcomes musician and songwriter Collin J. Rocker to perform in the historic gardens. The gardens were restored in the 1950s by the Garden Club of Morristown and visitors will have the opportunity to explore through a variety of summer blooms in the gardens and relax on the large lawn during the program. Guests may bring picnics, and are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and settle back for a late afternoon of great music in a lovely setting.

With gritty tradition, Collin turns timeless themes of heartbreak, the road, and the past into songs suiting today’s common man.  “He has the makings of a great American songwriter. With his superb guitar playing, he is the whole package,” wrote Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna). His music is born from the hills of beautiful lingering farms, and once thriving small towns, juxtaposed with strip malls, asphalt, and suburban sprawl.  In February 2010, Collin entered the studio with producer Jack Petruzzelli (Joan Osborne/Patti Smith Group/The Fab Faux) and backing musicians such as Kristina Train (Blue Note Records) and Rich Hinman (Roseanne Cash) in Albrightsville, PA to record Collin's debut album "Milkbox Love, Jukebox Blood, & Other American Favorites".  Since releasing the record, Collin has performed alongside national acts such as Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna), Rory Block, and The New Riders of The Purple Sage on a number of legendary stages.  During the summer of 2011, Collin opened shows for Grande Ole' Opry Member Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives in Sellersville, PA as well as performing with Acoustic Hot Tuna at Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa, FL.  In 2012 he opened for John Hiatt in Pennsylvania.

Tickets can be purchased from 1pm on the day of the program, no advance sales.  After 4pm tickets for the performance will still be available to purchase.  Concert tickets are $12; $10 for members, seniors, students, and those who purchased a Museum tour ticket that day. Free for children under 12. We are pleased to offer accessible restroom facilities during garden events this summer. Please, no dogs during programs in the garden. In the case of inclement weather the performance will be moved indoors. The announcement will be made on the Museum’s main phone message on performance day.

Tours of the museum’s period rooms take place throughout the afternoon (separate admission). Last tour leaves at 3pm. Tickets for Museum tours are Adults $8; Seniors and Students $6, Children 6 – 12 $4. The Museum will remain open until 4pm when the performance begins. 

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum preserves the history of the Macculloch-Miller families, the Morris area community, and the legacy of its founder W. Parsons Todd through its historic site, collections, exhibits, and educational and cultural programs. The Museum is open for house and exhibit tours on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. The last tour leaves at 3pm. Adults $8; Seniors & Students $6; Children 6 – 12 $4. Members and children under 5 are free. The gardens are open (free of charge) during Museum hours. Please check our website for any holiday closings.

Time: 4:00 pm

On Sunday July 14th at 4pm please join us for a fun, family-friendly summer’s afternoon performance by local band Hub Hollow who return to the Macculloch Hall garden after two tremendously popular summer performances at the Museum.  Drawing on bluegrass, rock, & old time music, Hub Hollow has been described as “a new kind of old-time music.” Their beautifully blended vocals and intricate melodies reflect a lifetime of creating music together.  United in their desire to create hard-hitting, interesting acoustic music, the members of Hub Hollow have been playing together, in different configurations for almost 20 years. Blending rock & bluegrass, old time & blues, members have enjoyed success on both coasts at many notable venues, including both Telluride and Grey Fox music festivals. Hub Hollow will perform in the colorful and elegant gardens at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum.  The gardens were restored in the 1950s by the Garden Club of Morristown.  If you would like to get a taste of Hub Hollow’s other performances, visit the Macculloch Hall Historical Museum Facebook page to see a video and pictures of last year’s performance, visit their website at www.hubhollow.com or find them on My Space.

Hub Hollow will perform in the garden at 4pm.  Visitors will have the opportunity to explore through a variety of summer blooms in the garden and relax on the large lawn during the program. Guests should bring blankets or chairs and may bring picnics.  Tickets can be purchased from 1pm on the day of the program, no advance sales.  After 4pm tickets for the performance will still be available to purchase.  Concert tickets are $12; $10 for members, seniors, students, and those who purchased a Museum tour ticket that day. Free for children under 12.  We are pleased to offer accessible restroom facilities during garden events this summer. Please, no dogs during programs in the garden. In the case of inclement weather the performance will be moved indoors. The announcement will be made on the Museum’s main phone message on performance day.
