Fairview Cemetery & Arboretum

Back by popular demand, Fairview Cemetery will host a special lecture exploring the remarkable Historic Tree Grove at Union College in Cranford. The program is being presented in honor of the nation's 250th anniversary.
The grove serves as a living testament to significant events and figures in American history. Approximately 75 historic trees have been planted there, representing a timeline that stretches from George Washington to the events of September 11, 2001. Most were grown from historically significant seeds or propagated as clones over the past 30 years.
Dr. Tom Ombrello, senior professor of biology at Union College and project manager of the Historic Tree Grove, will lead the illustrated presentation. He will explain how the trees were selected, cultivated and incorporated into the college campus, with several noteworthy specimens examined in greater detail.
The lecture will take place Sunday, October 25, at 2 p.m. in the Fairview Cemetery conference room, located at 1100 East Broad Street in Westfield.

Patricia M Kuran Cultural Arts Center

To celebrate Halloween, nonprofit Jersey Central Theatre Company will be performing a staged reading of a new play, featuring some New Jersey lore, on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 3:00 PM, at the Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center (The Carriage House) next to Fanwood Borough Hall.
“JANE, JOSEPH, AND THE JERSEY DEVIL” by Connor McKenna. Deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey reportedly lives a beast so horrible, so monstrous, its very name strikes fear into the hearts of those who have seen or heard of it. In 1820, “Piney” Jane is desperate to unravel the mysteries of the Jersey Devil. Who joins her search but the exiled king of Spain (and older brother to Napoleon), Joseph Bonaparte. Will they find the beast? Will they survive?
The cast will feature members of Actors’ Equity Association, the professional actors’ union.
Connor McKenna is a playwright, dramaturg, and musical book writer. He is a graduate of NYU Tisch with a BFA in dramatic writing and double major in linguistics. He has written six full-length plays and several shorter one-acts. His work has been performed with the Young Americans Theatre Company, Imaginarium NY, and Little &amp; Fierce Theatre Company.
Doors will open at 2:30 PM. Suggested cash contribution is $10.00 per person. No reservations; limited open seating.
The Patricia M. Kuran Cultural Arts Center is located next to Borough Hall at 135 Watson Rd. (off Martine Ave.), Fanwood, NJ, just one block north of the historic Fanwood Train Station on NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley Line.
In partnership with the Fanwood Cultural Arts Commission. For further information, or to be added to their email list, visit Jersey Central Theatre Company at <a href="https://www.jerseycentraltheatre.com." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">jerseycentraltheatre.com.</a>
