2016
Some of the highlights of 2016 include the news of Paper Mill Play-
house becoming the third New Jersey theatre to ever win the Region-
al Theatre Tony Award; talking about the art of busking with Bobby
Strange; and looking back at the Jersey history and influence behind
the music of Brian Fallon of the Gaslight Anthem.
We spoke with Kelly McCarthy about The King of Jabip - the first
World Premiere to be presented by The Eagle Theatre in Hammonton;
gathered the members of Days Awake to talk about a reunion show
that we never expected to see; and spoke with comedian George Lo-
pez about his largely autobiographical television show.
Rutgers alum Ben Rosenfeld helped us understand what it’s like to be
a Russian-American Jewish comic with a double major in Philosophy
and Economics; Bobby Bandiera took us a ride throughout his legend-
ary career; and a dozen artists let us know about the Bruce Springsteen
songs that best represents their own lives.
One of our favorite stories was how a New Jersey company found a
print of the 1984 film Ninja Busters in a storage room in the Mojave
desert. The only print to the film was lost when the distributor went to
prison.
Douglas Taurel spoke with us about his one-man show, The American
Soldier and how emotional it is for him to perform across the country.
We spoke with filmmaker Kevin McLaughlin about Riot, his film detail-
ing the Newark riots of 1967. And singer-songwriter Arlan Feiles told
us the story behind the song that literally changed his life.
