• Lead Actor Job in Callé Luna, Callé Sol, Male, Age 5-8 (backstage.com) — Families in Jersey City with a talented 5‑ to 8‑year‑old boy may be interested in this casting call for the lead in "Callé Luna, Callé Sol," which seeks a deeply sensitive, non‑verbal character who connects through music. The role centers on a child who quietly absorbs the world, uses a tape player as his refuge, and helps bridge generations without speaking.
• Cannabis Lounge Opening, Chip City Closes, Plus More News You Missed in Hoboken + Jersey City (hobokengirl.com) — This week brought big shifts in Jersey City, from approval of the massive Canal Crossing redevelopment to the opening of Hudson County's first cannabis lounge at Xena on Bergen Avenue. Residents also saw a federal judge overturn a rent-control ruling for Portside Towers, a minor train derailment with no injuries, and a tragic three-alarm fire on the West Side.
• New Jersey and N.Y.C. drivers face a traffic nightmare if this tax break ends, report says (nj.com subscription) — If you commute from Jersey City or elsewhere in Hudson County to Manhattan, a federal pre-tax transit benefit is quietly saving you money and easing traffic. A new Regional Plan Association study warns that cutting it could add hundreds more cars from New Jersey into Manhattan's core each weekday, slow drivers, and cost NJ Transit and PATH millions in fare revenue.
