(NEWARK, NJ) -- New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents Professor Greg Jackson to Newark on Sunday, April 21, 2024 for his educational yet electric production of "History That Doesn't Suck" - an interactive adaptation of Jackson's top-ranked history podcast. The event begins at 2:00pm.

In his live show, he will take audience members on a journey through time as they explore the first 100 years of American History in only 100 minutes. Get swept away by the thrilling retellings of the triumphs and struggles of a national wrestling with its identity. The show is powered by a live cinematic soundtrack, plus engaging projections of images, maps, charts and videos to help guide the story.
