I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

6) 10th Anniversary Easter Themed A Passion
Runs April 2-7


Best known for their stripped down MAKBET, a Roma-infused take on Shakespeare's Macbeth presented in a shipping container, and their annual holiday extravaganza FOOLS MASS, Dzieci Theatre invites you to its 10th Anniversary production of A PASSION this Easter.

For Easter 2012, Dzieci Theatre was invited to work with a small group of nuns at The Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, CT to create a Passion for their Holy Week. Beginning with the earliest translations of the liturgy and relying heavily on the Aramaic Peshitta, the company integrated Hebraic song and chant, as well as ritual elements of Judaism, and set their revision in the shadow of the Warsaw Ghetto. The result is A PASSION, a dramatic choral liturgy unbound. Whether Christian or Jew or Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or Zen, A PASSION appeals to the human spirit in everyone and our essential desire for communion.

• Sunday, April 2 (Palm Sunday) at 10:30 AM at Christ Episcopal Church 
   (74 Park Avenue, Glen Ridge, NJ 07028).
• Tuesday, April 4 at 7:00 PM at The Center at West Park (165 West 86th Street, NY, NY 10024).
• Thursday, April 6 at 7:00 PM at The Episcopal Actor’s Guild (1 East 29th St. NY, NY 10016).
• Friday, April 7 at 7:00 PM at Boughton Place (150 Kisor Road, Highland, NY 12528).

Adapted, directed, and designed by Matt Mitler, performances run April 2-7. Running time is 60 minutes, no intermission. Tickets are $20, available by donation at www.dziecitheatre.org or at the door.

New Jersey Symphony Presents
Faure's Requiem

Eric Jacobsen conductor
Montclair State University Chorale | Heather J. Buchanan, director
New Jersey Symphony

Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin
Written during the horrors World War I, Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin is a bright reflection on lives lost during the war, with each movement dedicated to a friend who passed. The composer draws on the woodwind section—particularly the oboe—to tell these stories.

Walker Lilacs
George Walker—a longtime Montclair resident—was among the greatest composers to call the Garden State home, and in 1996, he became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize in Music. It was this passionate work for soprano and orchestra that garnered him that grand distinction.

Fauré Requiem
This divine choral-orchestral masterpiece focuses Fauré’s view on the acceptance of a peaceful death.
