them in that world and vision, let
the actors do their thing, and suddenly that vision you had in your
head is brought to life it doesn’t
get much better than that. And I
am addicted to it.
As far as arts in New Jersey
what would like to see more of?
More new shows being produced
and work shopped. We are so
close to NYC and Philadelphia or
location can’t get any better, we
should be where every show on
Broadway or off-Broadway gets its
start. I believe we would see that
happen if the New Jersey Theater going public is willing to take
chances on something new. I think
they will if they know that as works
get work shopped here they could
be seeing something that will be
huge across the river. As long as
the theater and the theater companies keep it affordable I think the
patrons will take that chance and
New Jersey is where shows and
plays can get their start.
What else would you like the
public to know about the arts
New Jersey Stage
in Hackensack? I want people to
know that the arts are vibrant and
alive in Hackensack, and in the future when the new facility is completed it will only get stronger,
bigger and better. At this point
we can boast that many Broadway performers and professionals
got there start here in Hackensack, and more specifically at The
Hackensack Cultural Arts Center. I
want people to come down here
see a show. Its always affordable
so whether you love it or hate it
you can at least say that you came
and did something different or
saw something different. A person
forming opinions on events is the
point of good art, and for under
$20.00 you can be a part of that.
If any arts organizations are interested in becoming part of the
Hackensack family, you can reach
