Surflight Theatre
invites the community to step into the spotlight on October 9th

In a recent statement, Hammond said “we encourage any and all questions from the community as we reorganize and try to get the theatre back on solid financial footing.” Miller plans to reveal his initial plans for next season as well as initiatives that have already been implemented to keep costs under control. “We have a lot of exciting plans in store for everyone next season, but we need to get there first,” said Miller. “This crisis is very real, but when we get through it, Surflight has the opportunity to be one of the top not-for-profit theatres in the country. That is what we are asking everyone to invest in – not a sinking ship.” Miller, who has a long list of Broadway producing credits to his name including the recent West Side Story revival, is no stranger to the not-for-profit arena, having produced over 80 shows at Paper Mill Playhouse back in its heyday.Surflight Theatre has served the community for over 60 years, and now YOU have the opportunity to play a starring role in making sure that the Theatre continues to entertain audiences and educate artists for generations to come.For more information, visit www.surflight.org.

Library Art Reception Honors State Folk Legend

TOMS RIVER – On Thursday, October 14th, the Ocean County Library will host an art reception for “Visions of the Jersey Devil”, a group exhibit honoring the 275th birthday of New Jersey’s favorite mythical mascot.

The exhibit showcases imaginative portraits of the Jersey Devil created by eight local artists. Artworks range in style from traditional to modern to comic-book. Many poke affectionate fun at the popular folk legend, while others draw inspiration from historic eyewitness accounts.

Visitors to the Toms River Branch on October 14th are invited to join the fun in McConnell from 6:00-8:00 pm. Activities will include trivia, audiovisual presentations, and refreshments—including a “275th Birthday Cake” for the Jersey Devil.

Originating in 1735, the legend of the Jersey Devil has fascinated the Garden State for close to three centuries. Hundreds of state residents claim to have seen the Jersey Devil in its natural habitat, the Pine Barrens. After decades of notoriety, “Mother Leeds’ 13th Child” has earned the loyalty of many New Jersey natives, who view the creature as an enduring state symbol.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library at (732)349-6200 xt. 5100, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org
