Darlene Love: Love for the Holidays

Friday, December 04, 2026 @ 8:00pm
Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) Morristown, NJ

Rolling Stone Magazine has proclaimed Darlene Love to be “one of the greatest singers of all time” and that certainly rings true, but perhaps Paul Shaffer says it even more concisely: “Darlene Love is Rock N’ Roll!” – which was made official when she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Bette Midler, a great fan of her work, in 2011. During the celebration, the two ladies enjoyed performing He’s A Rebel together and as part of the festivities, Darlene also sang He’s A Fine, Fine Boy backed by another distinguished fan, Bruce Springsteen.

Neil deGrasse Tyson - Hope for Civilization

Friday, December 04, 2026 @ 7:30pm
NJPAC - Prudential Hall Newark, NJ

You think you understand humans. After all, you are one! But what do we really know about ourselves? In this intriguing talk, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson examines human civilization through a scientific lens, offering a different outlook on big topics like war, politics, religion, race and gender. We’ll get curious about why we are the way we are — and what we can do about it. Your perspective might change when you view humanity under a microscope (or through a telescope). This presentation is inspired by Dr. Tyson’s book, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization, one of many bestsellers written by the renowned astrophysicist.
