NJPAC In Your Living RoomIn this unprecedented time of uncertainty, we need the joy and the connection the performing arts can bring us, more than we ever have before. You can’t come to NJPAC because you’re staying home to “flatten the curve” and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community. All of us who work at the Arts Center are doing the same thing. I am at this moment sitting in my family room with a laptop, a diet Coke and three rescue dogs, trying to figure out our next steps. And here’s the first one: You can’t come to NJPAC right now. But we can bring the magic of NJPAC to you, right here. Every day, we’ll be posting new performances for you to enjoy while you’re at home. Check back on this page, or follow our social media channels, to see what new work we’re sharing. Remember: This is just intermission. We’ll see you again soon. David Rodriguez |
