The COVID-19 Coronavirus situation led arts organizations and venues to cancel, postpone, and reschedule shows throughout the country. Many of these arts organizations are non-profits who are still struggling to rebound from this period. Sadly, many arts organizations had to close. Please consider making a donation to help these organizations going.
We have created a list of New Jersey based performing arts centers, professional and community theatres, film festivals, dance companies, orchestras, museums, and some non profit arts presenters. The list contains quick links to their donate pages. If you are an non profit arts organization that is not listed here, please email us with your name, town, and website url.

(NEW YORK, NY) -- Writers & Actors On The Hudson, a unique theatrical event featuring "incubations" of new works for the stage will play NY's City Vineyard on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 7:00pm. This is the launch of a new series from Black Box Studios, Northern New Jersey's incubator for new and under produced plays by world-class artists or their estates.
With his documentary The Imposter and his narrative feature debut American Animals, writer/director Bart Layton displayed an impressive knack for spinning true crime tales into riveting viewing experiences. His new film, Crime 101, isn't inspired by any real life criminal shenanigans. It's adapted from a novella by Don Winslow, but Layton draws influence from a century of American crime cinema. There is much of Michael Mann here, with stoic male professionals staring out into the ocean from the balconies of their barely furnished beachfront homes, while Layton's ability to make flirtatious doublespeak as erotic as the most explicit sex scene suggests he's studied the classics of film noir. Characters flirt through laying out their material ambitions here in a manner that is far sexier than the unconvincing romping of Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" or the 50 Shades movies.
Here's a look at the top 15 most read articles published on New Jersey Stage from Febuary 16-21, 2026. Each week we publish at least 70 articles, including original columns and features, promoting events and covering arts news taking place throughout the state and nearby areas like Philadelphia and New York City. This week's top 15 includes articles from 7 counties (Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, and Somerset).
Spotlight Central and Love Imagery have photos and a recap of The Four Tops and The Temptations at Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) on February 12, 2026.
