State Theatre New Jersey

He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to New Brunswick.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice&nbsp;is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

Ghosts of a Holy War: The Forgotten Massacre That Shaped the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Misha Tyutyunik is a Ukrainian-born painter, muralist, street artist, illustrator, and virtual reality artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of Pratt Institute, he collaborates with communities around the world to create public art and is regularly commissioned by organizations, brands, publications, and collectors.
Tyutyunik works across a range of styles and media to produce pieces that are both visually striking and thought-provoking. While often tailored to specific projects or clients, his work consistently retains a distinct personal aesthetic. He balances community-based public art, corporate commissions, and personal work, frequently painting with youth and community organizations and exhibiting in galleries throughout New York and internationally.
In 2018–2019, he completed a Fulbright Grant in Ukraine, focusing on public art through community engagement. He was also one of five artists selected to paint a sanitation vehicle for the New York City Department of Sanitation’s Trucks of Art initiative. In Tokyo, he recently auctioned work to benefit children affected by the war in Ukraine while participating in a group exhibition.
Most recently, Tyutyunik painted his largest mural to date—covering an entire city block in Kensington, Brooklyn for the Department of Transportation, with a design developed through community engagement workshops with local students and residents. He also completed a mural at Shaw Middle School in Spokane, Washington for the Washington State Arts Commission, created in collaboration with students, staff, and local community members. In addition, he led a group of nine European artists in creating Garden of Collective Futures, a collaborative mural at The Standard, East Village, as part of an E.U.N.I.C. Cluster-sponsored international project.
You can see Tyutyunik's works starting with an open studio on October 2nd from 5pm to 8pm, followed by an open gallery until October 28th. Studio hours are on Fridays from 1pm to 4pm, and Saturdays from 12pm to 4pm.

Berkeley College’s 11th annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Week event brings together student entrepreneurs and women- and minority-led community businesses to learn, connect, and turn ideas into action. This year’s theme, “The Smart Hustle: AI for Small Business,” will share best practices on how aspiring entrepreneurs can use AI in ways that are practical, accessible, and immediately useful – not as another technology buzzword, but as a tool that can help small business owners save time, reduce costs, improve marketing and operations, and compete more effectively.
