Morris Arts and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation opened the Gallery at 14 Maple's twenty first exhibit entitled SEEING THE UNSEEN. The Exhibition Committee and guest curator Greg Leshé selected works created by ten outstanding artists (painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture, collage, and digital art) for display at the Gallery, a distinctive space located on the 3rd floor of the LEED certified “green” building at 14 Maple Ave., Morristown. The exhibit features works by a diverse and distinguished group of artists, many of whom have also had careers as curators, documentary photo journalists, and artists deeply concerned by injustice. The ten artists featured in this show include Jeffrey Campbell (Wanaque), Patricia Cazorla (New York), Angeles Cossio (Jersey City), Hanna von Goeler (Montclair), Grace Graupe-Pillard (Keyport), Tian Hui (South Orange), Ed Kashi (Montclair) , Nancy Saleme (New York), Nyugen Smith (Jersey City), and Wendel White (Galloway). Each artist brings a unique perspective to the theme of seeing the unseen, depicting people and aspects of our world that often remain “invisible” in our society. Guest Curator Greg Leshé adds the following insight about the exhibit: "Within the show’s compass I regard the artwork as the beacon, the lighthouse, the signaler-object of the unseen, transmitting a critical light, projecting warning rays while asserting and proclaiming what’s out there that we can’t or choose not to see. These forces and realities pose a danger to an individual, a community, an environment, an ethnic group, a nation – and, if ignored or left untended, will imperil some level of our collective humanity." Through these artists’ eyes, we visualize the beauty and poignancy of migrant farm workers, people who survived extended detention, political imprisonment, or torture as well as the working poor, tangible emblems of racism and, ultimately, our shared humanity. It is at once an exhibit of great beauty and profound awareness – making the viewer mindful of the truly important and fundamental matters in our world. Morris Arts gratefully acknowledges support for this exhibit from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. The exhibit is open to the public Monday-Friday from 10am to 4pm and by appointment, and will remain on display until August 21, 2019.. Visit www.morrisarts.org or call (973) 285-5115 for additional information, including the exhibit catalogue which contains details and sale prices for all works. The Gallery at 14 Maple is a barrier-free facility. Individuals needing special accommodation should contact Tom Werder at (973) 285-5115, x 11 or [email protected]

Those who mourn the demise of the great Canadian band Tanglefoot will rejoice at the emergence of RPR, which might justifiably be called "Tanglefoot II". Three of T'foot's members, Rob Ritchie (keyboard), Steve Ritchie (guitar), and Al Parrish (bass) form the core of the band, and are joined by Beaker Granger (percussion & guitar). The full-throated folk sound is still there, along with some of the old band's repertoire. But the focus is broader and the musical palette more varied. The vocal harmonies are powerfully evident as ever, as is the energy, the finely-honed songwriting, the penchant for humour and the twinkling eyes.

NJ Audubon: Allendale Celery Farm Field Trip led by Dave Oster, NJ Audubon Associate Naturalist. The Allendale Celery Farm is a wildlife oasis in the midst of highly developed Bergen County. Once the site of an actual farm, it is now a town preserve consisting of a large marsh area, open lake and wet woodland.

In April we may encounter a number of newly-arrived wetland birds: Herons, American Bittern and Virginia Rail are all possible. Wood Duck nests at the Celery Farm and other waterfowl species are usually present. We will also watch for passerine migrants including Eastern Phoebe, swallows, Marsh Wren and Palm Warbler. Surprises might include a Wilson's Snipe or Water Pipit. Parts of the trail may be wet to muddy so waterproof footgear is recommended.

Gimme Four is an International Semifinalist barbershop quartet based in Caldwell, New Jersey. Paul, Dave, Will, and Joe have been singing together since 2011. The quartet was formed out of a mutual love for barbershop harmony, friendship, and a burning desire to reach the highest level possible. Gimme Four has had the tremendous privilege of spending the last 6 years touring the country competing, performing, teaching, and making lifelong friends. All four quartet members sing in the Dapper Dans of Harmony, based in Caldwell, as well as East Coast Sound, a youth-focused chorus which draws membership from NJ, NY, and PA. The quartet is heavily involved in youth outreach and music education through barbershop singing, having coached students across the tri-state area in multiple different venues. The quartet has achieved great success in barbershop contests as 2018 Mid-Atlantic District Quartet Champions and finishing as high as 14th internationally. The quartet also had the enormous privilege of being featured at the legendary Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center in NYC alongside James Langton’s New York All-Star Big Band in 2015. Gimme Four continues to sing with the Big Band, appearing on The Intrepid, at the Algonquin Arts Theater, and at the Cutting Room in NYC. In 2017, Gimme Four opened for Jay Leno at The Freeman Stage at Bayside in Delaware and toured St. Petersburg, Russia, which are the most recent in a long string of unique and extremely fulfilling ventures. The quartet loves to compete, loves to teach, loves to coach, loves to work, and loves to make friends, but more than anything else, loves to make music that leaves a lasting impression – one that changes someone’s day, and maybe even their life.

2019 Fundraiser for the Hackettstown Rotary! Without a doubt, The Motown Sound has left an indelible stamp on the heart, soul and mind of several generations of fans worldwide. Over the years many of the artist and writers responsible for bringing to the world this incredible body of work has passed on. The music however, lives on through movies, radio, television commercials, collectible CD's, dance halls, weddings and karaoke clubs. It's not just the songs but the memories associated with them that have forever imprinted the Motown Sound in the hearts and souls of music fans. Without even consciously realizing it, we all know every lyric, melody and instrumental phrases associated with the songs. So much so that if a live band plays the songs and leaves out any of these memorable licks, we know it and subconsciously add it in ourselves. That brings us to Paul Korman and his visionary quest to create the ultimate Motown tribute band. *Not included in Flex Pass!*

Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “Grease.” Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

The 1957 award-winning film, starring Burt Lancaster and Katherine Hepburn, was based on this great American stage classic, as was the musical, 110 in the Shade. Author N. Richard Nash calls the play a romantic comedy but it is so much more.

This is a play about yearning, family, hope, and the magic that sometimes pours down on us from the unlikeliest of sources.

This, the world’s most famous love story, is a tragedy of heartbreaking beauty that speaks to every person of every era.

Ian Belknap, Artistic Director of New York’s prestigious The Acting Company, directs.

A whole new generation of children has arrived since we last did Neil Bartlett’s whimsical and moving adaptation of this holiday classic. This tale speaks to every generation and to people of all beliefs, and joyously celebrates the priceless value of good will and generosity of spirit toward our fellow “voyagers.” This version uses a small ensemble of actors to bring an abundance of animate and inanimate characters to life, as the despicable Ebenezer Scrooge encounters the haunting spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.
