Livingston High School Auditorium, 30 Robert H Harp Dr, Livingston, NJ, 07039

Students from Livingston High School’s Theatre Arts 1 program will take center stage in a heartwarming and imaginative production of The Adventures of Little Billy: In Search of the Magic Tree&nbsp;on Monday, June 15, 2026 at 7:00 PM in the Livingston High School Auditorium. This special event is open to the public with free general admission.
This special performance represents the culmination of a semester-long final project that brings together students from all grade levels and a wide range of abilities. Tasked with adapting the beloved children’s story into a short, touring theatrical production, students have collaborated on every aspect of the show—from storytelling and character development to staging and performance.
More than just a play, Little Billy is designed with a meaningful mission: to inspire young audiences. Following its debut, the production is intended to tour local elementary schools, sharing powerful lessons about courage, kindness, perseverance, and self-discovery.
“Like all great children’s books, In Search of the Magic Tree tells a compelling story kids can relate to, while integrating strong values that parents will appreciate. With its upbeat protagonist and colorful characters, this is a tale for everyone to enjoy.”&nbsp;
—Dan Wolf, founder and principal of Lone Wolf Writing Company &amp; former Vice President of Corporate Communications at The Walt Disney Company
Adding to the excitement of the evening, Little Billy—who serves as an ambassador to the Tamerlaine Sanctuary &amp; Preserve—will be represented through a special animal ambassador appearance from the sanctuary. This unique experience will give children and families the opportunity to connect with animals while learning an important message about compassion, empathy, and caring for all living beings.
Best-selling author Barry Farber brings his special edition hardcover children’s book and animated TV series, The Adventures of Little Billy: In Search of the Magic Tree, to an exciting step forward in a new stage adaptation, coming to life through the creativity and passion of Livingston High School’s student performers. Farber will be on hand to sign copies of the special edition hardcover copy of the book following the performance, and a portion of proceeds from book sales will benefit the Tamerlaine Animal Sanctuary &amp; Preserve.

“This project is about more than theatre,” said program representatives. “It’s about giving students a voice, fostering collaboration, and using storytelling as a way to positively impact younger children in our community.”
Families, community members, and members of the press are invited to attend this inspiring evening of student-driven theatre—now enhanced with special guests, free general admission, and a meaningful message for children of all ages.EVENT INFORMATION Monday, June 15, 2026 | 7 p.m. Livingston High School Auditorium 30 Robert Harp Drive, Livingston, NJ 07039 Reserve free seats at: <a href="https://bit.ly/LittleBillyPlay" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bit.ly/LittleBillyPlay</a>.

In mid-20th-century America and Britain, homosexuality was not just controversial—it was criminalized. Careers could be destroyed, reputations shattered, and lives upended by exposure. Yet some of the most beloved songs in Broadway and West End history were written by men who lived behind carefully constructed public personas.
How did they navigate fame in a world that denied their true selves?
This compelling program explores the lives and music of three legendary songwriters:
<ul><li>Lorenz Hart – The brilliant lyricist of classics like “My Funny Valentine” and “The Lady Is a Tramp,” whose private struggles and deep-seated guilt shadowed his extraordinary success. </li><li>Cole Porter – The sophisticated composer of “Anything Goes” and “Night and Day,” who maintained a high-profile marriage that offered social protection while he discreetly pursued his true identity. </li><li>Noël Coward – The urbane wit behind “Private Lives” and countless songs, who quietly defied convention with style, resilience, and coded candor. </li></ul>
Through music, biography, and cultural history, we’ll uncover how these men balanced artistry, ambition, secrecy, and survival during an era of harsh legal and social constraints. Their stories reveal not only personal courage but also the hidden history behind some of the most enduring works in popular music.
Join entertainment historian John Kenrick for an illuminating and entertaining evening that brings this rarely discussed chapter of theater history into the spotlight.

Long before the network became known as the Underground Railroad, enslaved people risked everything to escape bondage and seek freedom. In New Jersey, one of the most traveled routes ran along the Delaware River from Salem County to Trenton, then across the state toward New York. Along the way, both Black and white allies offered critical support to runaways on their perilous journeys to freedom.
This illustrated lecture will explore the history of enslavement in New Jersey, the role of Quakers who advocated for manumission, and the courageous individuals—famous and unsung—who shaped the Underground Railroad in the Garden State.
Rick Geffken has authored numerous articles on New Jersey history for local newspapers, magazines, historical societies and newsletters and presented historical papers at the New Jersey History &amp; Historic Preservation, the New Jersey Education Association, the New Jersey Library Association, and the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) conferences.&nbsp; He has participated in Symposia for groups such as the Rutgers Business School (Newark, NJ); the Navesink Maritime Historical Association, and has appeared on the New Jersey Cable TV show, Family Historian.&nbsp;
He is part of a project called the New Jersey Slavery Records Index under the auspices of Rutgers University, (New Brunswick). He joined the New Jersey Social Justice Reconciliation Committee to commemorate the only recorded lynching of a Black man in New Jersey. Rick has taught courses on New Jersey slavery for Monmouth University (West Long Branch); and on Revolutionary War topics at Brookdale Community College (Lincroft). He contributes to the New Jersey Slavery Records Index project under the auspices of Rutgers University (New Brunswick).
As an active member of the New Jersey Social Justice Reconciliation Committee, Rick was instrumental in placing a memorial plaque in Eatontown, the 1886 site of the only recorded lynching of a Black man in New Jersey.&nbsp;
