(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- Crossroads Theatre Company will present a 2022-23 season preview on Saturday, September 10 at 5:00pm in the Arthur Laurents Theater (New Brunswick Performing Arts Center). This festive free event will include conversations with Crossroads artistic team, as well as actors working on the upcoming season, and a special performance by the incredibly talented jazz vocalist, April May and her band, Sounds of A&R in a captivating tribute to Sarah Vaughan.

This event is FREE but you do need to register. Click here to register. The New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC) is located at 11 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, New Jersey. As of August 1st, the venue does not require masks.

Crossroads Theatre Company, recipient of the 1999 Tony Award® for Outstanding Regional Theatre in the United States, is the nation's premiere African American theater. The American Theatre Critics Association together with the American Theatre Wing and the League of Regional Theatres and Producers presented the prestigious Tony Award® to Crossroads in recognition of its 22-year history of artistic accomplishment and excellence. Crossroads is the first African American theater to receive this honor in the 33-year history of this special award category.

Crossroads continues to lead the nation with its commitment to literary works that examine the African American experience so that it may be understood and appreciated by all people. Crossroads' recent Tony Award® and 20th Anniversary celebration are both indicative of the perseverance and vision of those who continue to support the theater. Both are of great significance, not only to the immediate Crossroads family of staff, subscribers and patrons, but also to the City of New Brunswick, the State of New Jersey, the nation and the legacy of Black theater itself. When co-founders Ricardo Khan and L. Kenneth Richardson envisioned a space where, as actors, the two young men could work on substantive, non-stereotypical roles, little did they realize that their vision would grow into the major institution that it is today.
