  • Follies

    Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical is staged for the first time at the National Theatre and broadcast live to cinemas.

    New York, 1971. There’s a party on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs and lie about themselves.

    Tracie Bennett, Janie Dee and Imelda Staunton play the magnificent Follies in this dazzling new production. Featuring a cast of 37 and an orchestra of 21, it’s directed by Dominic Cooke (The Comedy of Errors).

    Winner of Academy, Tony, Grammy and Olivier awards, Sondheim’s previous work includes A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George.

  • Artivism

    As a universal language, the arts have always been an effective tool for addressing social issues. Artivism or “activist art” is a form of social protest that explores cultural and political concerns. However, it is much more than just an innovative tactic, Artivism involves an entire practice that attempts to inspire positive change in society. This juried exhibition features works of art that employ spectacle, symbolism and collective participation to fight for issues of social justice including racial discrimination, gender equality, fair labor practices, human rights and more.

  • An Intimate Evening of Songs and Stories with Graham Nash

    Please note this event is SOLD OUT. Artist holds may be released day of show at the discretion of the performer. To sign up for the waiting list please call the box office at 732.263.5715. 

    Legendary artist Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and
    Roll Hall of Fame inductee – with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and with the
    Hollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, as a
    solo artist and with CSN, and he is a GRAMMY Award winner.

    Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash
    has accomplished in his first seventy-five years on this planet, stands the
    litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the
    past half-century. His remarkable body of work, beginning with his
    contributions to the Hollies opus from 1964 to ’68, including “Stop Stop Stop,”
    “Pay You Back With Interest,” “On A Carousel,” “Carrie Anne,” “King Midas In
    Reverse,” and “Jennifer Eccles,” continues all the way to This Path Tonight
    (2016), his most recent solo album.

    The original classic union of Crosby, Stills &
    Nash (& Young) lasted but twenty months. Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express,” “Pre-Road Downs” (written for then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell), and “Lady Of the Island,” from the first Crosby, Stills &
    Nash
    LP (1969). On CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970), Nash’s “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” beseeched us to hold love tightly, to fend off the madness that was on its way.

    Overlapping CSNY, Nash’s solo career debuted with Songs
    For Beginners
    (1971), whose “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military
    Madness” were fueled by the Long Hot Summer, the trial of the Chicago Eight,
    and the ongoing Vietnam war. Songs from that LP stayed in Nash’s concert sets for years including “I Used To Be A King” and “Simple Man”. His next album, Wild
    Tales
    (1974), addressed (among other issues) unfair jail terms for minor
    drug offenses (“Prison Song”), unfair treatment of Vietnam vets (“Oh! Camil”),
    the unfairness of fame (“You’ll Never Be the Same”), and his muse, Joni
    (“Another Sleep Song”).

    The most resilient, long-lived and productive
    partnership to emerge from the CSNY camp launched with the eponymously titled Graham
    Nash/David Crosby
    (1972), bookended by Nash’s “Southbound Train” as the
    opening track and “Immigration Man” as the closer. The duo contributed further to the soundtrack of the ’70s on their back-to-back albums, Wind On the Water (1975) and Whistling Down the Wire (1976).

    On the CSN reunion studio LP (1977), Nash took
    top honors with “Just A Song Before I Go” (written in the space of one hour,
    and a Top 10 hit single). Lightning
    struck once more on CSN’s Daylight Again (1982), on which Nash penned
    their second (and final) Top 10 hit, “Wasted On the Way,” lamenting the energy,
    time and love lost by the group due to years of internecine quarrels.

    Nash’s passionate voice continues to be heard in support of peace, and social and environmental justice. The No Nukes/Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) concerts he organized with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt in 1979 remain seminal benefit events. In 2011, Nash was instrumental in bringing MUSE back to the forefront with a concert to benefit Japan disaster relief and groups promoting non-nuclear energy worldwide. That same year, he and Crosby were among the many musicians who made their way to the Occupy Wall Street
    actions in lower Manhattan.

    In September 2013, Nash released his long-awaited autobiography Wild Tales, which
    delivers an engrossing, no-holds-barred look back at his remarkable career and
    the music that defined a generation. The book landed him on the New York Times
    Best Sellers list, and was released in paperback in late 2014.

    In recognition for his contributions as a musician and
    philanthropist, Nash was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British
    Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth. While continually building his musical legacy,
    Nash is also an internationally renowned photographer and visual artist. With
    his photography, Nash has drawn honors including the New York Institute of
    Technology’s Arts & Technology Medal and Honorary Doctorate of Humane
    Letters and the Hollywood Film Festival’s inaugural Hollywood Visionary Cyber
    Award. His work is collected in the book Eye to Eye: Photographs by Graham Nash;
    he curated others’ work in the volume Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock ‘n’ Roll Photographs Selected by Graham Nash (2009).

    Nash’s work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide. His company Nash Editions’ original IRIS 3047 digital printer and one of its first published works—Nash’s 1969 portrait of David Crosby— is now housed in the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian
    Institution in recognition of his revolutionary accomplishments in the fine
    arts and digital printing world.
