State Theatre New Jersey

This Halloween, welcome to Camp Slayaway.
Night of the Living Drag returns with an outrageous ’80s slasher spectacular hosted by Violet Chachki, with performances by Laganja Estranja, Jaida Essence Hall, Raja, Nicole Paige Brooks, and Salina EsTitties. &nbsp;
A summer of fun took a deadly turn at Camp Slayaway. Now Violet recounts the twisted tale of how the queens met their gruesome ends, one by one. But at this camp, the dead don’t stay dead.
Expect high hair, sharp shoulders, neon lights, and enough hairspray to fuel a fire as the queens return for a night of killer performances, twisted comedy, and gnarly Halloween horror, all set against the sights and sounds of the decade that gave us aerobics, acid wash, and masked murderers.
Get your tickets before it’s too late.

Celebrate the Christmas season with the hits of Motown!&nbsp;Performed by a cast of veteran entertainers including former members of The Jones, Main Ingredient, and The Marvelettes, along with Broadway performers who have starred in&nbsp;Dream Girls,&nbsp;Your Arms Too Short to Box With God,&nbsp;Porgy &amp; Bess, and&nbsp;Showboat, Forever Motown is an entertainment bonanza.
This high-energy trip down memory lane features the songs America grew up with.&nbsp;Great attention to detail was paid by musical director&nbsp;Gary Kupper&nbsp;(who had his own Broadway hit show,&nbsp;Freckleface Strawberry, and is currently in production with a new musical called&nbsp;Rock and Roll Man).&nbsp;The iconic Motown Sound was recreated down to the slightest vocal and musical nuances—to emulate American icons like Marvin Gaye &amp; Tammie Terrell, Smokey Robinson &amp; The Miracles, Gladys Knight &amp; The Pips, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha and the Vandellas, Lionel Richie, Mary Wells, and more. The look and feel of authenticity includes the costumes from Tony® Award-winning designer&nbsp;Evie Ross&nbsp;and classic Motown choreography by American Dance Theater director&nbsp;Terri Giordano.&nbsp;
Sing, dance, and celebrate the music of your life to songs like “My Girl,” “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” “Reach Out,” “Shop Around,” “Dancin’ In The Street,” “Stop, In The Name Of Love," “Ain’t Nothin’ Like The Real Thing," “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough," “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," and “Uptight.”
The truly talented and charismatic cast is a perfect blend of look, sound, and personalities, which are tailor-made for the songs they perform.&nbsp;Cumulatively, the cast members have performed on recordings with over 30 million record sales and over 40 years of both on and off-Broadway experience.&nbsp;The director, musical director, choreographer, and costume designer have jointly won over 25 of America’s most prestigious theater awards for their direction, choreography, and staging.&nbsp;

Cone9Colab and guest artists making art that is born out of the lesser, the bare necessities. Rather than relying on the false abundance of materials, devices, information and whatnot, we focus on the essentials: simplicity, back to the roots, embracing the non-processed, imperfect and untamed material &amp; process inspired in the moment. Material matter! lessISmore means mixed-media &amp; inclusiveness by definition; within # 3 , we are focusing on another piece of the puzzle: one of the mother-materials known to mankind of all: clay. Merging the clay’s chronological timeline of 280 million years (e.g, granite) and ours (+/-90 years), a beautiful testimony of more and more about the lesser less in the flow emerges for the seeing eye and observing mind.

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. 
This event is open to students, alumni, and the community. Space is limited and registration is required. To learn more about sponsorships for our 2026 event, email <a href="mailto:KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu</a>.
