Welcome to our Fall season and the performance you’re about to enjoy. Just last month, I checked in on our neighboring cultural gems, both within a short walk of the Arts Center: the Newark Museum and the Newark Public Library. If you haven’t visited either lately, I urge you stop by. Enhancements to the buildings are in the works, thanks to the leadership of Linda Harrison—the Museum’s new Director and CEO—and Je rey Trzeciak, Director of the
Shine Studio Portrait 2018 Shine Studio Portrait Library. John Schreiber Je , who is presiding over a multimillion-dollar President & CEO restoration of the Library, is over the moon about the building’s lavish interior marblework, which is being cleaned and polished to its original gleam. Meanwhile, Linda is encouraging everyone to tour the Museum’s newly reimagined American galleries, “We knocked down a lot of walls, literally and conceptually,” she says of the “very modern” display. The Philip Roth Personal Library a collection of literary materials belonging to the late author and Newark native, will soon begin to materialize at the Library he loved with the shipment of about a thousand books from his New York City apartment. The Library also has been busy making preparations with Newark Public Schools so that in the Fall it can register some 38,000 students and 7,000 sta members for library cards. Je believes the Newark Public Library may be the first in New Jersey to activate this widespread, automatic registration process. The ultimate Zen experience arrives at the Newark Museum in September with the opening of Beyond Zen: Japanese Buddhism Revealed, more than 50 pieces selected from its collection of the arts of Asia. The exhibit and related events support conversations about the positive e ect of arts in maintaining wellness of being. Speaking of inner happiness, the Museum is proud that The New York Times this year ranked its jewelry collection among experts’ Top 9 favorites worldwide—a remarkable achievement, considering that it was placed in the company of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. This season, make a plan to arrive early for our performance and get reacquainted with these dear friends: The Newark Museum (newarkmuseum.org) and the Newark Public Library (npl.org). Your visit supports these long-respected community servants AND you’ll have a great time.
Best regards,
John Schreiber

They were a hip-hop group that played live and had a following and collaborated Christian McBride with a lot of di erent people. Then they added a day job as the house band for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
According to McBride, “One of the reasons why the Roots transcend is that it has taken on the personality of its leaders. Questlove is very eclectic and very musically curious. When they came on the scene in the mid- ‘90s they were sort of a middle of the road band, but they were much too smart and much too intellectual to be a regular hip- hop band. They weren’t a jazz
