Directed by Charlotte Cohn\, this electrifying production marks the New Jersey premiere of a play that’s already stirred thought-provoking conversations in New York and beyond. \n\n\n\nSet in a not-so-distant future\, Walden follows Stella\, a former NASA botanist\, and her fiancé Bryan\, as they await a visit from her estranged twin sister Cassie—fresh off a triumphant moon mission. As the sisters confront long-buried tensions from their childhoods and diverging worldviews\, a powerful question hangs in the air: Should humanity’s future remain rooted on Earth\, or reach for the stars? \n\n\n\nWith stunning design elements and emotionally charged performances\, Walden is a beautifully crafted blend of science fiction\, psychological drama\, and intimate storytelling. It’s a play that resonates deeply in our current age of climate urgency\, space exploration\, and personal reckoning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💫 Performance Schedule\n\n\n\n\nPreview Night: Thursday\, September 4 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nOpening Night: Friday\, September 5 @ 7:30 PM (Tickets: $53)\n\n\n\n\nRegular Show Dates: \n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 6 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 7 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 12 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 13 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 14 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 18 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 19 @ 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 20 @ 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 21 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🎨 Creative Team Behind the Vision\n\n\n\n\nDirector: Charlotte Cohn\n\n\n\nSet Design: David M.

Hearing enhancers are also provided at the tech booth for every performance\, on a first-come\, first-served basis (quantities are limited). \n\n\n\nPrepare for a deeply moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience with “Parade\,” the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical. This powerful production delves into a dark chapter of America’s past\, exploring the true story of Leo Frank\, a Jewish factory manager wrongly accused of murder in 1913 Georgia amidst a backdrop of rampant religious intolerance\, political injustice\, and racial tension. \n\n\n\nWith a compelling book by the celebrated playwright Alfred Uhry\, known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning “Driving Miss Daisy\,” and a magnificent\, haunting score by the three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (composer of “Songs For a New World\,” “The Last Five Years\,” and “The Bridges of Madison County”)\, “Parade” is a masterclass in storytelling. It meticulously examines how prejudice and fear can distort justice\, while simultaneously celebrating the enduring power of love and hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. \n\n\n\nThe musical is based on the infamous 1913 trial and subsequent lynching of Leo Frank. Frank\, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Atlanta\, was accused of killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan\, an employee at the factory he managed. Fueled by sensationalist media and rampant antisemitism\, the trial became a national scandal. Despite inconsistencies in testimony and a lack of credible evidence\, Frank was convicted. His death sentence was later commuted by the governor\, leading to his abduction from prison and lynching by an angry mob. “Parade” powerfully brings this harrowing narrative to the stage\, reminding audiences of the dangers of unchecked bigotry and the fight for truth. \n\n\n\nImportant Note: This production is best suited for mature audiences aged 17 and above due to its exploration of sensitive historical themes\, strong language\, and mature content. \n\n\n\nBooking Information: To secure your tickets\, simply select your desired date and time\, then choose your seats.

Hear hits from Howard Jones like “No One is to Blame\,” “What is Love?\,” “New Song\,” and “Things Can Only Get Better.” Joining Jones is Haircut One Hundred\, who burned bright in the early ’80s with songs like “Fantastic Day” and “Love Plus One\,” and DJ Richard Blade (KROQ\, Los Angeles; Video One; MV3; VideoBeat).\nElectronic music pioneer Howard Jones has been a constant presence on the international touring scene for the past four decades\, playing live in a number of different configurations\, including intimate solo shows and dates with his full high-tech band set-up. He first burst upon the contemporary music scene with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers in 1983’s “New Song.” His first two albums\, Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action\, were worldwide hits. Human’s Lib reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits “New Song” and “What Is Love?” In 1985\, Jones released the follow-up\, Dream Into Action\, which quickly became a Top 10 Platinum album in the U.S. and featured the hits “Things Can Only Get Better\,” “Life In One Day\,” “No One Is To Blame\,” and “Like To Get To Know You Well.”\nHoward Jones has sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world. He has performed on NBC’s top-rated morning and nighttime shows\, respectively\, Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His ubiquitous hits can be heard in such high-profile TV series and films as Stranger Things\, Breaking Bad\, Watchmen\, The Carrie Diaries\, Superstore\, and Bumblebee. His most recent album is Dialogue\, which was released in September 2022. Dialogue is the third album in a trilogy of electronic releases from Jones with the multi-media project Engage and the studio album Transform.\nOf all pop’s shining\, fiery comets\, Haircut One Hundred burned brightly\, gave off heat\, changed the landscape\, and then\, as fast as they appeared\, were gone\, leaving many happy memories.\nFor 18 months or so in the early 1980s\, Haircut did their thing. They were led by irrepressible songsmith\, lead vocalist\, and rhythm guitarist Nick Heyward with South London’s Stanley Clarke\, Les Nemes\, on the bass. Adding Graham Jones\, on lead guitar\, and then\, Memphis-born Blair Cunningham—a man who had lived several lifetimes by the age of 24—on drums\, the group charmed both press and public with their oblique-yet-everyman lyrics\, brisk funk\, and sunshine pop. Who can forget songs as joyous and memorable as “Fantastic Day\,” “Love Plus One\,” and “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)\,” and the accompanying album\, the mighty\, flirty\, and flighty Pelican West. Pelican West was already platinum-certified in the UK only three months after release. The album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the British Top 10 and twice reached No. 2. It also charted in the U.S.\, Australia\, and beyond.\nBy 1983\, it was all over\, and the band stepped out separately. Aside from Nick Heyward’s tremendously well-regarded solo career (nine acclaimed albums to date\, including the Geoff Emerick-produced masterpiece North of a Miracle)\, Jones went on to co-found underground scenesters Boys Wonder; Nemes toured with 80s’ icon Rick Astley; and Cunningham drummed with a veritable who’s who of pop including Paul McCartney.\nTo celebrate the 40th Anniversary release of Pelican West\, Haircut One Hundred reunited in May 2023 for an emotionally charged\, hit-laden sold-out show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. A UK and U.S. tour followed\, as well as a prestigious Glastonbury appearance. Suddenly\, as if from nowhere\, the band were recording again: a new single appeared\, “The Unloving Plum\,” which became BBC Radio 2’s Record Of The Week. The novelty of reforming soon gave way to reality. “We thought the reunion show would be emotional\, but it’s been getting more emotional as we go along\,” Nick said in 2024. “It’s like a dynamo\, like a bike—it’s picking up speed and energy as it goes.” And now\, it’s a new chapter for the group—a brand-new album is nearly finished\, and the group are keen to share this material\, as fresh as a daisy.\nRichard Blade is one of the most popular and best-known DJs in America\, and hosts a daily radio show on both SiriusXM 1st Wave Ch. 33 and middays on KCBS\, Jack FM. Blade was born in England\, educated at Oxford\, and after touring Europe for two years as a DJ\, moved to the U.S. In the 1980’s he was the top-rated morning drive DJ on KROQ\, Los Angeles\, and hosted and directed numerous TV shows and series including Video One\, MV3\, and VideoBeat. Other notable radio stations Blade worked at included KMGN\, Bakersfield (morning drive & program director)\, KZOZ\, San Luis Obispo (morning drive and program director)\, KNAC\, Long Beach (evenings)\, and KYSR\, Los Angeles (evenings). In 1991\, he created\, with Andy Schuon and Lewis Largent\, Richard Blade’s Flashback Lunch which aired daily at noon and was copied by many stations across North America. It also spawned a series of six CDs on Sony Music\, Richard Blade’s Flashback Favorites. He has won numerous awards including the Golden Microphone\, California’s Best DJ\, Brit of the Year\, and the American DJ Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2024\, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Co-presented with The Bowery Presents.

The group’s led a charmed life in many respects it’s true\, but it’s been a long haul since the days they’d meet up in the bars and clubs around Moseley\, and some of them had to scrape by on less than £8 a week unemployment benefit. The choice was simple if you’d left school early. You could either work in one of the local factories\, like Robin Campbell did\, or scuffle along aimlessly whilst waiting for something else to happen.\nBy the summer of 1978\, something else did happen\, and the nucleus of UB40 began rehearsing in a local basement. Robin’s younger brother Ali\, Earl Falconer\, Brian Travers and James Brown all knew each other from Moseley School of Art\, whilst Norman Hassan had been a friend of the Campbell’s since junior school. Initially\, they thought of themselves as an instrumental “jazz-dub-reggae” band\, but by the time Robin was persuaded to rejoin and much later they’d recruited Michael Virtue and lastly Astro – who’d learnt his craft with Birmingham sound-system Duke Alloy – the group had already aligned themselves to left-wing political ideals and forged their own identity\, separate from the many punk and Two Tone outfits around at that time. The group had nailed their colours to the mast by naming themselves after an unemployment benefit form. Their political convictions hadn’t been gleaned second hand either\, but cemented in place whilst attending marches protesting against the National Front\, or rallies organised by Rock Against Racism.

Touring and making records for over 20 years\, House has a discography that includes over 13 albums. His debut record “Lost and Found” (2004) was featured on CBS Sunday Morning by music critic and then VP MTV/VH1\, Bill Flanagan\, who named House one of the best emerging singer-songwriters of our time.\nAfter forging a loyal fan base through years of grassroots touring as an opener for acts such as John Mellencamp and the Cranberries\, House broke through as a national headliner in 2009 with an appearance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson and the release of his underground hit “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind.” URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/griffin-house/ LOCATION:New Jersey ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Griffin-House-01-2OgDdh.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250911T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250911T000000 DTSTAMP:20251214T011017 CREATED:20250728T125224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T150804Z UID:48452-1757548800-1757548800@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Orleans DESCRIPTION:Orleans is best known as the Pop/Rock band that brought you the classic 70s hits Still The One\, Dance With Me and Love Takes Time.

Rod was at the very top of his game in terms of chart success and sheer numbers of tickets sold worldwide. Carmine was right by Rod’s side during those most crucial years helping to write some of his biggest hits like “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Young Turks”. Rod has said of Carmine\, “He was in my band because I found him to be a brilliant drummer\, and he wouldn’t have been there if he wasn’t special. People love characters in Rock N Roll\, and Carmine was a real character. He still is!”\nSinger Rob Caudill is a dead-on Rod Stewart impersonator with the look\, the voice and the moves. He has performed all over the world\, mesmerizing crowds with his amazing vocals and high energy portrayal of Rod Stewart.\nA typical Tonight’s the Night set includes all of Rod’s biggest hits including Maggie May\, Hot Legs\, Rhythm of My Heart\, Forever Young\, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You\, Tonight’s the Night\, Sailing\, Do You Think I’m Sexy\, and so many more! Rob has appeared regularly in the longest running Las Vegas based tribute show\, “Legends In Concert”.\nHis dazzling production of Tonight’s The Night features another of Rod Stewart’s former band members\, Katja Rieckermann\, on saxophone – rounding out a supercharged line-up of extraordinary talent that can’t be missed.  URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/tonights-the-night-celebrating-the-music-and-legacy-of-rod-stewart/ LOCATION:New Jersey CATEGORIES:Concerts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tonights-The-Night-1080x1080-rev1-c29fcf479c-mxus40.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250911T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250911T000000 DTSTAMP:20251214T011017 CREATED:20250728T132659Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T161644Z UID:48917-1757548800-1757548800@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:Dorothy with Special Guest Eddie &… DESCRIPTION:Projecting a full-bodied voice with every inch of her being\, Dorothy Martin kindles a spark of hope into a flame as bright as the sun itself. The Budapest\, Hungary-born maverick singer\, songwriter\, performer\, and frontwoman of the Los Angeles-based eponymous band DOROTHY brings gusto\, grit\, and glory back to hard rock\, exuding superstar-size confidence coupled with the quiet resolve of an old school Western anti-hero. She has unassumingly blazed her own trail with sold out tours\, major collaborations\, and over 1 billion streams already in the rearview. DOROTHY arrived with the force of a hurricane back in 2016\, serving up the full-length debut ROCKISDEAD. Surging on DSPs\, “Raise Hell” reeled in over 85 million Spotify streams followed by “Wicked Ones” with 77 million Spotify streams. The band organically attracted a diehard global fanbase with 28 Day in the Valley [2018] and Gifts From The Holy Ghost [2022]. KERRANG! hailed the latter as “a hot-blooded rock ‘n’ roll record through and through\,” and RIFF raved\, “Holy Ghost serves as a triumphant battle cry and a return to form.” Perhaps\, Outburn put it best\, “it’s her most bombastic and gloriously\, victorious rock and roll work yet.” Simultaneously\, the singer took flight as the rare dynamo equally at home on a track with Slash and Nita Strauss of Alice Cooper or Staind and Scott Stapp of Creed. She even notably dueted with Stapp at the Grand Ole Opry. However\, her vision really catches fire on the group’s fourth full-length album\, The Way [Roc Nation]\, introduced by the single “Tombstone Town” [feat. Slash].

Full Frontal offered a unique satirical take on weekly news and explores other important stories in-depth that have been largely overlooked by more traditional media outlets. Full Frontal received rave reviews\, and the show was picked up by TBS for a full season within weeks of its premiere. In a landscape of male late-night talk show hosts\, critics have appreciated Bee’s “fiery and fierce” delivery (The New York Times) and have embraced Full Frontal as a “daring\, innovative addition to the late-night slate” (Entertainment Weekly).\nBee is the author of the essay collection I Know I Am\, But What Are You? and has been featured in TIME 100: The Most Influential People. She is also the host of ‘Full Release\,’ a podcast featuring in-depth conversations with the best and rightest of people about how to navigate the ever-changing world and what to laugh about along the way.\nBee and her husband Jason Jones also co-created the half-hour comedy series\, The Detour\, which ran for four seasons on TBS. The Detour\, which stars Jones\, was inspired by their personal experiences on family getaways. The show follows Nate (Jones)\, Robin (Natalie Zea) and their two kids\, Delilah and Jared\, for what Nate believes will be the adventure of a lifetime on a road trip to Florida\, which quickly turns into a disaster.\nIn 2018\, Bee announced her new production company\, Swimsuit Competition\, co-founded with “Full Frontal” producer Kristen Everman. Swimsuit Competition aims to create inclusive\, narrative and documentary television and will develop content for TBS.

Their music was characterized by a fusion of Beatlesque pop\, classical arrangements\, and futuristic iconography.\nMik Kaminski joined the band in 1973 with his legendary blue violin. The classic lineup of ELO solidified in 1974 with the addition of bassist/singer Kelly Groucutt and orchestrator Lou Clark\, who augmented the band’s unique orchestral rock sound with his inventive classical arrangements. Mik\, Lou\, and Kelly played their way onto an astonishing library of hit records that sold more than 50 million copies. The albums include Eldorado\, Face the Music\, A New World Record\, Out of the Blue\, Discovery and Xanadu.\nAfter the original line-up of ELO broke up in 1986\, drummer Bev Bevan created ELO Part II in 1988 with English guitarist Pete Haycock\, American keyboardist and songwriter Eric Troyer\, and ELO former members Kaminski\, Clark\, Groucutt\, and cellist Hugh McDowell. The band later recruited English guitarist Phil Bates to fill out the lineup. Groucutt\, Bates\, and Troyer were all accomplished lead and harmony singers which provided an abundance of vocal riches that pushed the band’s classic sound into fresh sonic territory. Phil Bates left ELO Part II in 1998 and was replaced by American singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist Parthenon Huxley.\nIn late 1999 drummer Bevan retired and was replaced with American drummer Gordon Townsend. The band began touring as THE ORCHESTRA in 2000. The new lineup released a brilliant album called No Rewind. The album features original songs by Kaminski\, Troyer\, Huxley\, and Groucutt\, as well as a stunning interpretation of “Twist and Shout.”\nNine years later in 2009\, THE ORCHESTRA bassist and congenial front man\, Kelly Groucutt\, suddenly passed away the day after performing a concert with the group in Berlin\, which was a devastating shock to the band and to class rock fans around the world. His boyhood home features a plaque honoring Kelly’s accomplishments with ELO. THE ORCHESTRA recruited occasional ELO Part II member and former Styx bassist\, guitarist\, songwriter\, and singer Glen Burtnik to fill Kelly’s spot center stage.\nWhile Lou Clark’s multi-talented son\, Louis Clark Jr.\, worked with ELO Part II in the 90s\, he became a permanent band member with THE ORCHESTRA in 2011. The father and son team lived the dream of performing together onstage around the world until 2021 when Louis Clark Sr. passed away. Louis Jr. now carries on in his late father’s role as orchestral keyboardist and symphonic conductor\, along with the occasional romp on cello and guitar.\nThese days multi-instrumentalist Cliff Hillis joins the band on select shows and brings an extra layer of vocals\, guitar\, and sometimes bass to THE ORCHESTRA’s dynamic sound. In 2024\, the documentary No Rewind: The Orchestra Starring ELO Former Members was released\, providing rare behind-the-scenes band footage\, stories of life on the road\, and performances of each song from the album No Rewind. Edited together in a music video style\, the film is a fast-moving reveal of how this iconic band has earned its place in rock and roll history.\n​Over the years the members of THE ORCHESTRA have played ELO’s greatest hits to millions of fans in over fifty countries.

Their name is a reference to the 1986 filmFerris Bueller’s Day Off.The band formed after the dissolution of a number of Southern California bands. With Monique Powell as manager\, front person\, and co-songwriter\, the band began to book shows around Southern California to a great underground response.Financed by Powell’s sister\, the band released their debut EP “Introducing SAVE FERRIS” on Powell’s label\,Starpool Records\, in 1996. They ended up selling close to 20\,000 copies of their EP out of the trunks of their cars\, with huge support from Orange County independent record shops and fans. That year\, Powellprovided vocals on theReel Big Fishsong “She Has A Girlfriend Now” on their album “Turn the Radio Off” (Mojo).With Powell as manager and lead\, and as favorites of KROQ radio’s legendaryRodney on the Rock\, SAVE FERRIS created a presence on LA’s KROQ radio\, possibly being the first unsigned band to do this in LA alternative radio history. Later that year\, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences gave the band a Grammy showcase award for best unsigned band\, earning them a recording contract withEpic Records(SONY).The band released their debut full-length album for Epic in 1997. “It Means Everything” featured several re-recorded tracks from the EP\, several new songs\, and\, on Powell’s urging\, a cover of Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ “Come on Eileen\,” which the band released as their first official single\, and what was to become their most successful single. The band also released “The World is New” as a single which was featured in the film “The Big Hit” starring Mark Wahlburg. Olympic medal winnerTara Lipinski used “The World is New” in her debut program as a professional skater in the nationally telecast 1998 Skate TV Championships.\nThe band toured extensively in support of “It Means Everything”\, opening for bands such as Sugar Ray\, The Offspring\, and Reel Big Fish. In April 1998\, they made their television debut on HBO’s music series “REVERB” and made an on-screen appearance in the cult classic teen film\, “10 Things I Hate About You”. The album sold over 400\,000 copies\, and spawned three Top Ten hits in both Japan and Mexico. With two singles in the Billboard top 100 and full rotation on alternative radio all over the world\, SAVE FERRIS has managed to go Platinum internationally.Winter 1998 saw the departure of their drummer. After a thunderously successful main stage tour with the Vans Warped Tour\, the band began writing their follow-up to “It Means Everything”. The appropriately-titled “Modified” was released in October 1999. The album saw the band moving away from their ska-punk roots and into pop-punk territory. The band toured nationally with the band “Lit”\, of hit single “My Own Worst Enemy” fame. SAVE FERRIS continued to tour in support of “Modified” throughout 2000 and 2001. In August and September 2001 the band did a short tourof the UK. Winter 2002\, SAVE FERRIS had the rare opportunity to play front and center at the nationally broadcast Winter Olympics Snowboarding Championships in Salt Lake City\, Utah.Still fronted by their original lead singer\, SAVE FERRIS has been through a number of changes in their musical lineup through the years…Powell self-financed whatshe called the “For the Fans” SAVE FERRIS US tour in 2003. On March 29\, 2003 at Ska Summit 2003 in Las Vegas\, SAVE FERRIS played on the main stage to a thunderously positive response.Other appearances of note Ms. Powell has made: “Mayor of the Sunset Strip” film\, “Roswell” network television show\, “The Conan O’Brien Show”\, “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher”\, MTV’s Loveline with Dr. Drew\, the “Keenan Ivory Wayans” show\, and the “Late Show with Craig Kilbourne”.\nThe sold out Pacific Amphitheater at theOrange County Fair 7/27/13 marked the first appearance of SAVE FERRIS in ten years.

Rameau’s Tendres Plaintes evokes sighing\, melancholic gestures\, while Le Rappel des Oiseaux explores birdsong through elaborate ornamentations\, idiosyncratic to the French baroque keyboard style. In Olivier Messiaen’s Petites Esquisses d’Oiseaux\, robins\, blackbirds\, thrushes\, and skylarks emerge in vivid\, crystalline textures.\nSchumann’s Waldszenen transports the listener to a forest\, where nature is imbued with both beauty and mystery. Among these poetic vignettes\, Vogel als Prophet stands out as an enigmatic prophecy delivered through the voice of a bird. The program concludes with Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 2\, a work that embodies what the pianist and scholar Boris Berman refers to as polypersonalia —a paradoxical blend of soaring lyricism\, aggressive brutality\, cabaret-like parody\, and mechanical precision. The third movement draws upon the rich tradition of skazki\, or Russian mystical fairy tales\, reminiscent of the music of Prokofiev’s older Russian contemporaries\, such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Medtner. Through these selections of works\, the program traverses a vast landscape of nature’s wonders\, supernatural whispers\, and human imagination.\nThis event is funded by the Ocean County College Foundation.
