Students from South Orange, Maplewood and surrounding communities perform in “Jesus Christ Superstar” — at SOPAC, May 8th - May 10thThe groundbreaking Broadway musical Jesus Christ Superstar blends rock, gospel, folk, funk, and modern language to tell the story of the final week of Jesus’ life, leading to his betrayal by Judas and crucifixion by the Romans. A global phenomenon since its debut, the show reimagines these extraordinary events through Judas Iscariot’s perspective, exploring the complex relationships among Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, and the Roman Empire. Originally released as a concept album, its iconic 1970s rock score features classics like “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.” By fusing ancient history with modern sensibilities, Jesus Christ Superstar examines enduring themes of fame, revolution, radicalism, and humility.
While there is no inappropriate language or adult concepts present, it is still Jesus Christ Superstar. As such, there are some delicate scenes. We welcome children of all ages, but it may be best to discuss the historical events prior.
The 25 Musical Theatre students of Class Act Performing Arts Studio, ages 14–18, are from South Orange, Maplewood, and surrounding communities. These talented pre-professionals will rock the SOPAC stage in this emotional, gut-wrenching, high octane production, featuring a Live Band!

Alzheimer’s New Jersey® will host its annual Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s® on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at South Mountain Reservation in West Orange. The event will begin at the Clipper Pavilion and bring the community together to raise awareness and funds for programs supporting individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.
Day-of registration will open at 9:00 a.m. followed by a kick-off rally at 10:00 a.m. The walk will officially begin at 10:30 a.m. Participants will enjoy a scenic walk around the Orange Reservoir. There will be music, entertainment, refreshments, and door prizes.
Funds raised from the event will support Alzheimer’s New Jersey® programs, including a statewide Helpline, family support groups, community and caregiver education and the Respite Care and Wellness program. These services provide essential guidance, emotional support, and relief for caregivers navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. 
“We invite everyone to walk with us. There will be lots of energy and fun,” said Ken Zaentz, President and CEO of Alzheimer’s New Jersey®. “More than 600,000 people in New Jersey are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Families rely on Alzheimer’s New Jersey® for personal and confidential assistance, education, and support. As the number of families impacted continues to grow, community support is more important than ever.”
As part of Essex County’s Essex Cares program, Alzheimer’s New Jersey® will offer event attendees a special benefit on the day of the walk only. With proof of participation, attendees will receive $5 admission each to the Turtle Back Zoo, Mini Safari Golf, and Codey Arena.
There is no fee to register for the walk; however, fundraising is strongly encouraged and vital to sustaining the organization’s programs.
