The Oratorio Society of New Jersey (OSNJ) will get your summer started on the right note with the third annual installment of the return of its "summer sings," where the audience becomes the performers. The event will take place at Newark’s historic Bethany Baptist Church on Wednesday, June 3, at 7 pm.
Choral singers and enthusiasts are invited to join the OSNJ as they sing through one of the most popular and revered choral masterpieces – Mozart’s Requiem. The piece will be conducted by OSNJ's music director Sándor Szabó, with professional soloists and accompaniment. The evening will also include a sampling of the American spirituals that OSNJ recently performed at their spring “America Inspired” concert. The audience is welcome to join in or to listen.
Bring your own scores of Mozart’s Requiem or borrow one of ours. Scores for the spirituals will be provided for those who wish to join in.

Contra is the perfect social dance for new dancers. The beginners’ lesson at the start is all you need to enjoy your first evening of dancing. Contra dancing is a fun, easy-to-learn style of social dance in a supportive, inter-generational, inclusive community. It’s the cool cousin to square dancing—with hot live bands. A hot band is exactly what we have for this dance with&nbsp;The Star Charters&nbsp;playing amazing tunes with&nbsp;Luke Donforth&nbsp;calling the dance moves.
If you are new to contra dancing, come for our evening dance on any first and third Saturday evening. Knowing how to dance is not necessary since the caller prompts the moves and guides the dancers. A lesson is given at 7pm prior to the dance to learn basic terminology and some of the dance moves. It’s fine to come alone since folks switch partners between each dance.

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>.
