    Media contact: April 16, 2019 Joe Guerin Marketing Manager 973-845-6743 [email protected] The Shakespeare Theatre Names Their Unique Support Facility in Honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean MADISON, NJ — The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is proud to announce that it will be naming its innovative, behind-the-scenes support facility in honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean, who has served as the Theatre’s Honorary Chair for over three decades. Located at 3 Vreeland Road in Florham Park, the building will be named The Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory: The Education, Production and Administrative Center for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Governor Kean’s unparalleled record of advocacy and support for the arts, artists, and arts education throughout the region over many decades, and his deep commitment to emerging young talent inspired The Shakespeare Theatre leadership to ask Governor Kean’s permission to name their groundbreaking workplace in his honor. Governor Kean has graciously agreed to lend his name to the building. Governor Kean said, ''As a lifetime supporter of the arts, I am excited to join my name to this unique project. This ‘Theatre Factory’ will continue to be a center where Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte, and her team create and assemble theatrical magic. It is an honor to be included by name in this collaborative artistic nucleus." Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Governor Kean’s name will grace our building. Everything that happens inside our Theatre Factory exemplifies the kind of transformative education and training opportunities that the Governor has championed his whole life.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at a Campaign Rally for Governor Jon S. Corzine in Camden, New Jersey November 1, 2009 The President. Thank you so much. I am—whoo—fired up! I am fired up. Let me first of all acknowledge some extraordinary public servants who are in the house: Rob Andrews, our wonderful Congressman; Steve Rothman, another great Member of Congress; Gwen Faison, the Mayor of Camden. Thank you, Gwen. To all the other elected officials who are here, I am just glad to be back in Camden. When I was campaigning last year, I said I'd come back once I was President. I couldn't stay away. I like—I just like hanging out in New Jersey. I appreciate all of you who aren't at the Giants/Eagles game. [Laughter] I didn't mean to stir all that up, I'm sorry. All right, settle down now, settle down. Here's the reason I'm back. I am back because we are 2 days away—2 days away from making sure that New Jersey has the kind of quality leadership it deserves, two days away from making sure we're moving forward on education, two days away from making sure that we've got fairness in our economic system, two days away from reelecting Jon Corzine for another 4 years—2 days. Now, at this point in the campaign, you've heard all the arguments. You've seen all the TV ads. You know all the facts of this race. You know that Jon's running for reelection during a challenging time for New Jersey and a challenging time for America.
