• South Mountain Film Academy premieres student-led documentary "The Maplewood Theater: The Show Must Go On" on September 23rd (newjerseystage.com) — Maplewood residents can catch a free student-made documentary about the nearly century-old Maplewood Theater at the Maplewood Memorial Library on September 23. The 15-minute film, created by local middle schoolers through South Mountain Film Academy, explores the theater's history, its closure during COVID, and community hopes for its reopening, followed by a panel and Q&A.
• Community Rallies to Help Maplewood Woman Who Lost Her Cat and Belongings in on Van Ness Court (villagegreennj.com) — A Maplewood resident who lost her home and cat in the recent four-alarm fire at the Maplewood Apartments on Van Ness Court has already received more than $20,000 in community donations. Friends, customers, and her Maplewood employer helped the GoFundMe quickly reach its goal, allowing her to focus on recovery while officials continue investigating the fire and support for other displaced neighbors.
