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>.

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. All registered walkers will receive a promotional item the day of the event, and those who raise $75 or more will receive a complimentary event t-shirt. Dogs are welcome, provided they are leashed.
