SUMMARY:Dancing at Lughnasa
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nBlack Box Theater\n(Building 11B)\nAdults $24\, Seniors $22\nGeneral Admission Seating \n   \nAbout the Show\nThis extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa\, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief\, colorful bursts of music from the radio\, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large. The action of the play is told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters as he remembers the five women who raised him: his mother and four maiden aunts. He is only seven in 1936\, the year his elderly uncle\, a priest\, returns after serving for twenty-five years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony. For the young boy\, two other disturbances occur that summer. The sisters acquire their first radio\, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking\, stomping banshees in their own kitchen. And he meets his father for the first time\, a charming Welsh drifter who strolls up the lane and sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields. From these small events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. Widely regarded as Brian Friel’s masterpiece\, this haunting play is Friel’s tribute to the spirit and valor of the past. \nPerformances\nFriday\, March 13 • 7:30pm (This performance will be interpreted in ASL by students from the Interpreter Training Program.)\nSaturday\, March 14 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 14 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 15 • 2:00pm \nFriday\, March 20 • 7:30pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 22 • 2:00pm \nCast\nMichael Evans – Kevin Polke\nKate Mundy – Carol Kerdock\nMaggie Mundy – Justine Basquill\nAgnes Mundy – Lindsey Santos\nRose Mundy – Sophia Gallegos\nChris Mundy – Ruth Murano\nGerry Evans – Martin Kyne\nFather Jack Mundy – Brendan Keffner \nAbout the OCC Repertory Theater Company\nUnder the direction of Performing Arts Program Chair Paul Chalakani\, the mission of the OCC/REP is to create opportunities for college and community participation in various rich and diverse theatrical experiences. The Company seeks to engage\, entertain\, inspire\, and educate to enhance the cultural life of Ocean County College and the surrounding communities.

SUMMARY:Dancing at Lughnasa
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nBlack Box Theater\n(Building 11B)\nAdults $24\, Seniors $22\nGeneral Admission Seating \n   \nAbout the Show\nThis extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa\, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief\, colorful bursts of music from the radio\, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large. The action of the play is told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters as he remembers the five women who raised him: his mother and four maiden aunts. He is only seven in 1936\, the year his elderly uncle\, a priest\, returns after serving for twenty-five years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony. For the young boy\, two other disturbances occur that summer. The sisters acquire their first radio\, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking\, stomping banshees in their own kitchen. And he meets his father for the first time\, a charming Welsh drifter who strolls up the lane and sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields. From these small events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. Widely regarded as Brian Friel’s masterpiece\, this haunting play is Friel’s tribute to the spirit and valor of the past. \nPerformances\nFriday\, March 13 • 7:30pm (This performance will be interpreted in ASL by students from the Interpreter Training Program.)\nSaturday\, March 14 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 14 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 15 • 2:00pm \nFriday\, March 20 • 7:30pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 22 • 2:00pm \nCast\nMichael Evans – Kevin Polke\nKate Mundy – Carol Kerdock\nMaggie Mundy – Justine Basquill\nAgnes Mundy – Lindsey Santos\nRose Mundy – Sophia Gallegos\nChris Mundy – Ruth Murano\nGerry Evans – Martin Kyne\nFather Jack Mundy – Brendan Keffner \nAbout the OCC Repertory Theater Company\nUnder the direction of Performing Arts Program Chair Paul Chalakani\, the mission of the OCC/REP is to create opportunities for college and community participation in various rich and diverse theatrical experiences.

SUMMARY:Adam Moezinia Trio
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nGia Maione Prima Foundation Studio Theatre\n(Building 12)\nAdult $28\, Senior $24\n \n \nAbout the Show\nAdam Moezinia will be leading his Standards Trio\, presenting fresh arrangements of classic American Songbook compositions by such composers as George Gershwin\, Cole Porter\, and Richard Rodgers. \n \nA native of Los Angeles\, guitarist Adam Moezinia moved to New York City in 2010 to study at The Juilliard School where he received his graduate degree in Jazz Studies. He is a straight-ahead jazz guitarist rooted in the traditions of swing\, blues and the great American Songbook.  He has played with such jazz artists as vocalists Freddie Cole and Cecile McLorin Salvant\, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis\, and multireedists Will and Pete Anderson\, and has  performed at venues such as the Blue Note\, Birdland\, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. \nMoezinia has been influenced on guitar by jazz giants like Barney Kessel\, Herb Ellis\, Joe Pass\, and Jim Hall. In an interview with Jazz Guitar Today\, Moezinia talked about Hall. “Jim to me\,” he said\, “is the father of modern jazz guitar in that he opened the door musically for people like Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel.  So\, I think this (his 1975 Jim Hall Live! album) is a must for any aspiring jazz guitarists as well as any jazz guitar enthusiasts.” \nJazz on a Sunday Afternoon is made possible through funding from the Wintrode Family Foundation\, the Ocean County College Foundation\, and support from the New Jersey Jazz Society. \n \n \nShare This:

SUMMARY:Brass Queens
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nMain Stage\n(Building 11A)\nTickets $24\n \n \nAbout the Event\nBrass Queens is a female-led\, New York-based brass band that has been dominating the brass band scene since 2019. \n \nFinding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City\, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019\, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. \nA core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians in brass bands. Brass Queens tour regularly across the country and internationally. Recent highlights include a New Year’s Eve performance in Telluride\, multiple nights at Favela Chic in New Orleans\, and a sold out show at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit. They also make appearances on festival stages including the Ottawa Jazz Festival\, Northlands Music Festival\, MusikFest\, Duck Jazz Festival\, and multiple appearances at the Exit Zero Jazz Festival. Brass Queens has played major events like The Met Gala and David Byrne’s “Amazing Humans Doing Amazing Things!” Variety Show\, and for notable clients including New Balance\, Chanel\, Saks Fifth Avenue\, Tiffany & Co.\, Bombas\, Perrier\, Facebook\, Instagram\, and Pinterest. They have also performed on national television on Good Morning America\, and had multiple shows at iconic New York venues like The Capitol Theater\, Blue Note Jazz Club\, and Brooklyn Bowl. They are also the 2023 winners of We Love NYC’s Rider’s Choice Award\, after the people of New York voted the Queens as their favorite of the MTA’s Music Under New York’s roster of subway performers. \nThe band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits\, dancing your heart out to reggaeton\, and feeling like you’ve been transported to Frenchman Street. In February 2021\, Brass Queens released their debut EP Royal Street\, which takes listeners on a six-song journey beginning in the heart of New York City with a cover of Cameo’s Candy\, down to Royal St. with their take on a New Orleans traditional\, Little Liza Jane. In November 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled Black & Gold\, which is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corners during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today. Less than a year later\, Brass Queens released their second full-length album and their first album of all-original music titled Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I. \nShare This:
