He’s worked alongside of all the big names in comedy (Chris Rock, Drew Carey and Ray Romano) and he’s toured with Cher, Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton. He’s even done stand-up at the White House (for Chelsea Clinton’s birthday).

On Thursday, May 18 at 6pm the Axelrod Performing Arts Center welcomes these wonderful environmental causes to our environmental awareness fair before the film screening of Josh Fox’s “How to Let Go of the World” at 7pm. Is a leading national and regional voice working to protect waterways using science, law, research, education, and citizen action. Clean Ocean Action (COA) is a broad-based coalition of 125 active boating, business, community, conservation, diving, environmental, fishing, religious, service, student, surfing, and women’s groups. These “Ocean Wavemakers” work to clean up and protect the waters of the New York Bight. The groups came together in 1984 to investigate sources, effects, and solutions of ocean pollution.
What follows is a description of the network. Under the guidance of COA’s, researches pollution issues affecting the marine environment, then formulates policy and campaigns to eliminate each pollution source. The staff then coordinates and organizes the (, Educators for a Clean Ocean, and ) to use their individual experience and expertise to help.
Press events, rallies, writing letters, making phone calls, testifying at public hearings, and distributing literature are just some of the ways members of the coalition become involved. With eight ocean dumpsites closed, powerful new clean water laws on the books, and a greater public awareness of the ocean and its improved health, it’s clear the system works.
Since our founding during the campaign to pass the landmark Clean Water Act in 1972, Clean Water Action has worked to win strong health and environmental protections by bringing issue expertise, solution-oriented thinking and people power to the table. Our Mission:To protect our environment, health, economic well-being and community quality of life. Clean Water Action organizes strong grassroots groups and coalitions, and campaigns to elect environmental candidates and to solve environmental and community problems. Champions healthy food and clean water for all.
We stand up to corporations that put profits before people, and advocate for a democracy that improves people’s lives and protects our environment.We are working to create a healthy future for our families and for generations to come—a world where all people have the resources they need, including wholesome food, clean water and sustainable energy. Making this happen requires organizing people from all over the country to build a large movement with the political power to make our democratic process work. Large numbers of people are a countervailing force to corporations “buying” public policy. Are the residents and business owners who are passionate about restoring this lake that connects Ocean Grove to Asbury Park and flows directly into the ocean. We are dedicated to keeping it clean and beautiful. Wesley Lake has a long history and our goal is to get it back to where it once was with people enjoying it for recreation, fishing and boating.
We are raising funds for yearly pond weed treatments, cleanups and grounds maintenance. In 2015 Friends of Wesley Lake merged with Citizens of Wesley Lake the previous organization that had taken care of all Lake matters and beautification. (MCF) is Monmouth’s only county-wide land trust. Founded in 1977 by Michael Huber and Judith Stanley as a 501(c)(3), Monmouth Conservation Foundation has been preserving land and protecting the natural habitat of Monmouth County for over 38 years. As an organization, we are extremely proud of the more than 22,500 acres of open space and farmland we have helped to save. MCF is steadfastly dedicated to ensuring a permanent legacy of open space and natural habitat throughout the county. As more farmland and open space are developed into residential communities or commercial properties, the unique character of our community becomes compromised. Promotes the study and conservation of marine life and habitat, protects the coast from harm, and empowers others to do the same.
Since 1961 we have empowered people to care for the coast through advocacy, conservation, and education. We not only provide a voice for the coast, but also give concerned citizens the knowledge and tools they need to raise their voices with us. When we restore habitat, our objective is not only to restore a dune or rebuild an oyster reef, but also to motivate people to invest “sweat equity” into a piece of the coast, take ownership and become committed stewards. When we educate, we don’t merely provide books, CDs, or handouts.
We lead students young and old into the water to get their feet wet and their hands muddy. Sitting at a computer or reading a book, people may develop an interest in the coast; standing knee deep in sea foam with sand between their toes, they will develop a passion for the coast. (NJFC) is a grass roots organization, fully non-profit, volunteer-run and staffed. Since 1974, this organization has been actively educating children and adults on the importance of clean, clear water and to urge citizens to be responsible custodians of our domain: the estuaries of the Raritan, Passaic, Hudson, Delaware, and other NJ Rivers; the Jersey Shore coastline and its inland waterways; and the land of New Jersey.
Inc.’s primary concerns are improving the water quality of the Shark River and its tributaries and protecting the wetlands and wildlife. By better managing this watershed, we seek to enhance commercial fishing, recreational uses, swimming and drinking water supplies.
We do this by educating the residents and elected officials of the towns within the Shark River watershed. We conduct monitoring of water quality through biological, physical, and chemical analysis, provide strong advocacy, lead and assist others with similar goals, increase community awareness of the problems impacting the watershed and conduct cleanups in the watershed. We protect our drinking water sources in the watershed and their feeder systems. We document historic uses of the waters in our watershed and protect them from degradation as provided for in the Federal Clean Water Act. We seek funding for these actions as provided through membership dues, donations, foundation grants, government grants, corporate grants, pro bono services and in kind contributions.

Carmen Cusack was nominated for a Tony ands several other awards for her lead role in “Bright Star“, a musical written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. “Performing with the brilliant Carmen Cusack in “Bright Star” was the highlight of last year for me, so you can imagine how much I’m looking forward to sharing a stage with her again, at the Axelrod no less! My fondest memories are of the shows I did at the JCC Center Drama Workshop at the same Deal location, so concerts like this one are particularly sweet, given that I’m returning to the birthplace of my love of musical theater”.
He made his debut at six years old in “Fiddler on the Roof” at Center Drama Workshop, where his mother Nancy was also an active member. Blumenkrantz grew up performing in many local theaters with different companies, including at Monmouth University (then College), at The Ranney School, The Count Basie, The Barn in Rumson, Temple Beth El in Ocean Township with Marilyn Michaels, and Talent Expo at the Garden State Arts Center. He made it to Broadway at 22 years old as an understudy in “Into the Woods”.

Music lovers are celebrating the 100 th anniversary of her birth this spring. A visit to the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation’s website will the many celebrations happening this year in honor of the centennial: from Lincoln Center and the Chicago Symphony Center to The Hollywood Bowl and the Landestheater Salzburg. With Gabrielle Stravelli and a 17-piece swing band, the party at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center (APAC) will be a hard one to beat. And everyone is invited! Acclaimed New York jazz artist Gabrielle Stravelli (who grew up in Colts Neck, NJ) will be the girl singer on Sunday, May 28, 2017, in this two-hour tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, backed by some of the hottest horn players on the Jersey Shore plus Carl Topilow, the conductor of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, on clarinet, swinging some Benny Goodman-Ella Fitzgerald duets with Miss Stravelli. Ella Fitzgerald’s 100 th Birthday Concert at APAC will feature over a dozen arrangements by the great Nelson Riddle, made possible by the Nelson Riddle Estate.
Riddle’s incomparable arrangements include such Ella classics as “I Won’t Dance,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love Is Here to Stay” “Take the A Train,” and “’S Wonderful.” In addition to the songs of George and Ira Gershwin, Nelson Riddle also arranged songs by Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, and many others. Nelson Riddle’s daughter, Rosemary Acerra of Lakewood, fondly remembers the collaborations between Ella and her dad. “In speaking of Dad’s work with Ella, I can only say it was always special to him; he remarked on her wonderfully unconventional and instinctive style of singing. Regarding the huge Gershwin Songbook, he marveled at how easy working with her was, amazed that in completing the 59 selections over eight months, not a note was altered. He paid homage to her artistry” Acerra discovered Gabrielle Stravelli while she was singing with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra at Lincoln Center.
She quickly became a fan. “Gabrielle has the gift of interpreting the Ella/Nelson Riddle charts in a superb way. I know Ella smiles down on her.” Active on the music scene for over a half a century, Ella Fitzgerald was the world’s most popular and successful jazz singer. With over 40 million albums sold (and counting), Ella won 13 Grammy Awards and performed with many jazz luminaries, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman.
Winner of the 2015 MAC Award for Best Female Vocalist and 2015 Bistro Award for Jazz Vocalist, Gabrielle Stravelli has received raves from the New York press, including The Village Voice (“a powerhouse of individual expression” ) and The New York Times, “a phenomenal voice with an easygoing confidence and impeccable taste.” In fact Stephen Holden of the Times compared Miss Stravelli to the birthday girl herself: “Her clear, rounded timbre, reminiscent at times of Ella Fitzgerald’s, didn’t strain for effect. A formidable scat improviser, she held back enough so that I never felt that she was indulging in empty display.She swings playfully, without seeming to try.” Miss Stravelli finds it a “delightful challenge” to pay homage to the greatest singer America has ever produced. “Ella is the gold standard for singers and she is the vocalist that I listened to most growing up.
She literally has everything- a beautiful voice, perfect intonation, masterful phrasing and a superb sense of time. And, of course, on top of all that she scats better than anyone on the planet! Her ballad singing is gentle and lush and her uptempos swing like mad. Are you surprised that over 100,000 people retweeted this Donald Trump comment: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese”? Did it make any sense at all to you that the Senate confirmed climate-change denier Scott Pruitt as EPA Secretary?
Do you believe in science, or evolution, or the value of the environment? Do you disagree with 45 that climate change is NOT “an expensive hoax”?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you’ll be happy to learn than Oscar-nominated film director Josh Fox will be speaking at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center (APAC) on Thursday evening May 18, 2017, and that you’ll be able to see his latest film “How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change.” In addition to the screening of the film and the talkback with Josh Fox, an environmental awareness fair is taking place in the lobby of the Axelrod PAC starting at 6 PM. More than a dozen local environmental groups are participating, including the American Littoral Society, Clean Ocean Action, Surfrider Foundation, Deal Lake Commission, Food and Water Watch, Monmouth Conservation Foundation, Clean Water Action and NJ Friends of Clearwater. Josh Fox, the creator of the two “GASLAND” films, believes that climate change is “the greatest threat our world has ever known,” and he has brought his message to the world on TV (CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, etc.) and in personal speaking tours.
In his new film, he continues in his deeply personal style, traveling to twelve countries on six continents, to investigate the reality of climate change. Having had its well-received debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year, “How to Let Go of the World” acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away? Following the film, Josh Fox will be on hand to answer questions from the audience and to share his own journey in making this new film as well as his “Gasland” films that earned him an Oscar nomination and an Emmy win for their airing on HBO. He is internationally recognized as a spokesperson and leader on the issue of fracking and extreme energy development. Fox is also the founder and producing artistic director of the International WOW Company, a film and theater company that has performed across America, Europe and Asia. Josh has written, directed and produced five feature films six short films including “The Last Drop” and “The Sky is Pink” and over 25 full-length works for the stage, which have premiered in New York, Asia and Europe.
Deal Park, NJ, isn’t Fox’s first stop on his tour with his films, nor is it likely to be his last. This passionate filmmaker has toured to over 350 cities giving speeches, lectures and question and answer sessions with his environmental film work.
As a national spokesman on environmental issues, Fox has been a special guest on The Daily Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Keith Olbermann Show, PBS Now, CNN, Democracy Now. He also makes regular appearances on The Chris Hayes shows (Up and All In), The Ed Show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Morning Joe, and the CBS and NBC nightly news. The screening of “How to Let Go of the World” and Josh Fox’s personal appearance takes place on Thursday, May 18, 2017, at 7 p.m. At the Axelrod Performing Arts Center (100 Grant Ave, Deal Park section of Ocean Township, NJ).

That company also doesn’t include Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams or Angelina Jolie, all fans, or, for that matter, Pope John Paul II or Pope Francis, both of whom Noa serenaded multiple times. (She’s been invited to perform at the Vatican eight times. That’s seven times more than any other Israeli, by the way.) Enter a caption Quincy Jones, who considers Noa his favorite singer and “family” says that “Noa is beautiful both inside and outHer talent is no joke and her live performance is nothing short of the top of the international crop!” Many fans consider Noa to be one of the most versatile singers living today, excelling in a variety of styles. Which style of music is Noa best known for?
Neapolitan Songs. Her influences include Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
Newcomers must hear her on record (or better live!) to understand the sensation that is Noa. Visit her website or type in “Noa singer” on YouTube and be serenaded by one of the most beautiful, versatile voices on the planet. Noa not only is a singer but also is the co-writer of most of her songs.

The theater offers ample free onsite parking and is completely handicap accessible. Group discounts available for parties of ten or more. The Axelrod Performing Arts Center (APAC) has begun a series of Masterclasses at the theater featuring some of the most popular choreographers and teachers from the internationally renowned Broadway Dance Center (BDC) of New York City.
In March, Luis Salgado (Broadway’s “In the Heights” and “On Your Feet”) and Lane Napper (TV’s “Suddenly Susan” and “Victorious”) each conducted Masterclasses for 35 local young performers. APAC, a recent grant recipient of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, is expanding its educational offerings to provide supplementary training for local dance and musical theater performers in the area.
Lane Napper workshop Luis Salgado teaches Latin dance and Musical Theatre performance. BDC was established in 1984 by Richard Ellner and has become an integral part of dance training in Manhattan for decades. APAC welcomes select BDC Faculty to teach at the center in a wide range of styles, from Tap and Musical Theater to Hip-Hop, Street Theater and Jazz. “Many students in the area travel in the city on weekends to take classes at Broadway Dance Center,” says Rising Stars Performing Arts director Lisa Goldfarb, “Offering classes with the most popular instructors here at the Axelrod is an amazing way for local students to take classes with current Broadway performers and choreographers without having to travel into the city.
It’s more convenient and more affordable too.” In addition to BDC instructors, APAC is delighted to welcome director and choreographer Gabriel Chajnik a Julliard-trained dancer and former member of the American Repertory Ballet whose work has been seen at the Manhattan School of Music, The Julliard School and Lincoln Center. On April 9 Chajnik will be offering his first classes in ballet and contemporary for ages 10 and up and 14 and up. Chajnik’s classes will be accompanied by one of the world’s great ballet pianist Josu Gallastegui (American Ballet Theater and Dance Theater of Harlem), an essential element that most dance schools aren’t often able to offer. Chajnik, who is a new resident of Ocean Grove, enthuses about beginning a dance program at APAC, “I am delighted to have found this beautiful theater and enthusiastic advocates of art who share with me a passion for the transformative power of dance. As a part of my vision, the Axelrod Masterclass Series is not set up as a school or dance studio, but a hub for dancers in the area to expand, refine, and add new elements to their training.
It will bring in teaching artists from all over the Tri-state area to help build up the reputation of the Jersey Shore as a place for dance.” Chajnik is also the founder of TranscenDanceGroup (TDG), a contemporary ballet troupe based in New York. TDG will be performing original works at APAC on Sunday, May 21, at 3 PM. Members of TDG will be offering a Masterclass prior to the performance.
APAC Board Member (and part-time dancer) Elise Feldman has become one of the catalyst for the new dance program. Jazz”, as the famous oncologist (Dr. Arthur Topilow) from Jersey Shore Medical Center is known will be accompanying one of the world’s most celebrated jazz vocalists Ann Hampton Callaway in an all-Arlen concert on Sunday, April 2, 2017, at 3 p.m. At the Axelrod Performing Arts Center (APAC).
Ann Hampton Callaway Callaway was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance in the Broadway musical “Swing” and her original compositions have earned her a Grammy nomination. She is one of the nation’s biggest proponents of the Great American Songbook, and she has long been associated with the great Harold Arlen, having recorded many of his immortal tunes including “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Blues in the Night” and “Let’s Fall in Love.” Her claim-to-fame (in the trivia world) is that she wrote and sang the theme to the TV show “The Nanny.” The NY Times reviewed Callaway saying “For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” “Dr. Art Topilow, MD By day, Arthur Topilow, MD is the Director of Oncology Research for Meridian Cancer Care and Director of Axelrod Research; by night he is a jazz musician with enviable piano and improvisational skills. He shared the stage with many jazz luminaries including Dick Hyman, Derek Smith, Ken Peplowski, Ed Polcer, Randy Sanke, James Chirillo and Aaron Weinstein and has accompanied Broadway stars Bernadette Peters and Christine Ebersol. With over 400 songs in his catalogue, Harold Arlen could have secured his immortality with just one song, “Over the Rainbow.” Harold Arlen, composer Recorded by a 17-year-old Judy Garland in the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” the song is regarded by the recording industry and the National Endowment of the Arts as “Greatest Songs of the 20 th Century.” Arlen’s most prolific writing partner was E.Y. Harburg, but he also wrote songs with Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin, Dorothy Fields, Howard Dietz, Ted Koehler, Truman Capoteand even Peggy Lee.
Artistic Director Andrew DePrisco has always felt that Harold Arlen was the greatest unsung hero in the Great American Songbook. “It struck me decades ago when I was studying that Arlen was the most unpredictable of the songwriters. How could the same guy write “Over the Rainbow,” “The Man That Got Away,” “It’s Only a Paper Moon” and “Ac-cen-tu-ate the Positive”? Ahead of Arlen in popularity in the catalogue are more familiar names like George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, both of whom held Arlen in the highest regard.
The Grant Ave Gallery at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center presents “Fiber, Glass and Clay,” an exhibit with 4 Monmouth County artists. Billy Geller: is besotted with glass. He defends it against other artistic media with the fervor of a man upholding the reputation of his inamorata. “With painting, your materials are the canvas and the paint,” says Geller, “With glass, you can paint on glass, you can melt it, you can manipulate it, and the only limitations are your ability with your hands and this thing called creativity.” He adds a “how do I love thee” list of its virtues: “You have a solid object that you can see through.
Its colors change with the weather and the time of day. It can be sandblasted; it can be carved; it can be etched with acid; it can be painted.”Geller’s love affair with the medium has lasted three decades. When you see what Geller has learned to do with glass, you can understand the attraction. Elinor Geller: Elinor Geller’s art is infused with her vitality, creativity, and love of life.

Her vibrant spirit is evident in each colorful detail of her mixed media pieces. Drawing from talents inherited from her grandmother and mother, both accomplished seamstresses and painters, her intricately detailed works reflect a whimsical nostalgia, an intrinsic eye for design, and her desire to challenge and expand her artistic repertoire. Considering the creative process to be somewhat magical and mysterious, she incorporated into her work found items that evoked a memory, a smile, or a laugh and allowed them to guide her design. Something old, something new, a broken dish, a high-heeled shoewith her free-spirited vision and design aesthetic, her work reveals the hidden treasure in common objects. In her artwork, as in her life, Elinor was masterful at recognizing the beautiful bits and pieces around her, fusing them together to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Nancy Frank: “After dabbling in several areas of the art world through the years, I finally found my niche.
Misty Blue Ella Fitzgerald
Many years ago I was celebrating Thanksgiving dinner with my family and friends. We had just moved to our current home and I was proudly displaying my newly remodeled kitchen.
Ella Fitzgerald These Are The Blues Raritan Nj
My mother had given me a magnificent set of very old Tiffany Spode china, which I loved more than life itself. As I was putting the clean dishes back in the cabinet the prongs that support the shelf came out and my precious dishes fell to the floor and lay in a million pieces. With twenty-two people looking on in disbelief I calmly shrugged and said through a broken heart. “Oh well, they’re just dishes.” I stored the broken pieces for many years until one day I saw some beautiful mosaic artifacts in a local gift store. To make a long story short, the owner of the store put me in contact with the artist. I began taking classes at her home, and have been happily cutting dishes, tiles, sheets of glass and whatever else I can get my hands on ever since.” Shari Werner, originally from West Deal, is a quilter living and creating her art in NYC. She studied fiber arts and quilting at Penland School of Crafts and Crow Timber Frame Barn.
Her work has been shown in the City Quilter Group Show at the Williams Club in NYC. The exhibit is on view at the Grant Avenue Gallery through May, 2017. A Meet the Artists reception will be held on Saturday, March 11 at 7:00 PM, prior to the performance of the musical “In The Heights”.
