originally published: 03/07/2018


(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey will host a Women’s Tea Luncheon on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 to raise funds for State Theatre New Jersey’s arts access initiatives. The event, which is a celebration for Women’s History Month, includes a networking hour and special program on the stage of the historic venue. Tickets and sponsorships are available from $150, and both men and women are welcome to help support this important cause. For tickets, call 732- 247-2700, ext. 512 or email rsvp@stnj.org.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, State Theatre New Jersey is committed to giving back to the community, providing $730,000 worth of free and heavily-subsidized admissions for mainstage and educational programs annually. Nearly 60,000 underserved individuals statewide benefit—including students from low-income schools, veterans, children on the autism spectrum, seniors, charities, and local families. KPMG and PNC are among the sponsors of the Women's Tea, which will provide crucial support for all of these arts access initiatives at State Theatre New Jersey.

“Approaching its centennial in 2021, State Theatre New Jersey has an exciting vision for ensuring that the powerful impact of the arts continues to be accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds,” said Wendy Wiebalk, State Theatre New Jersey Trustee, Certified Trial Attorney and Partner at Cahn & Parra, LLC, and Women’s Tea Committee Member.

Leandro

Leandro Comrie: "A Quiet Odyssey"

What gives Leandro Comrie's "King" the right to rule? Is it his raiment, decorated with scores of curlicues of white and royal purple paint, signifying motion and activity and cinched savagely at the waist? Is it his arms, long enough to touch his ankles, formidable and thick, draped at his sides in a gesture of ease and preternatural balance? How about the magenta halo behind his head, bright and electric, suggestive of sanctification in some other world? Or could it be the face, with its crown of wavy hair, full lips and slanted white eyebrows, and lower jaw squared against all adversaries. He looks confident and ready. But the crimson dot he stands on and surveys is barely big enough to contain his boat-like shoes.
