The EBHS Drama Club presents two related works this year for their major productions. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet will be on stage Friday and Saturday only, December 7 and 8, at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $12.00 for Adults and $6.00 for Students and Seniors. Purchase tickets from the box office that evening, or call the EBHS Performing Arts Department at (732) 613-6969 for more information. The related work will be featured as the spring musical, Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story!" There will be four performances in early March.





East Brunswick Public Schools in conjunction with the East Brunswick Arts Commission presents a holiday concert featuring the Central Jersey Wind Ensemble. The concert will be held on Sunday, December 9, 4:00 PM, at the East Brunswick Performing Arts Center at Hammarskjold. A special appearance by the East Brunswick Community Chorus will be included in the afternoon's festivities.

The Carolyn Dorfman Dance Company will present a dance concert for the entire 5th grade class of East Brunswick Schools on Friday morning, December 14th. Held at the East Brunswick Performing Arts Center at Hammarskjold Middle School, this concert is a culmination of the experience each child has received through a series of four lessons in the elements and principles of dance taking place within general music classes over the past month.




The Churchill Junior High School Music Department recently hosted a concert by Brazilian Big Band "Band Urbana." Approximately 300 students heard the sounds of Latin Jazz performed by this 14 piece ensemble currently touring the East Coast. The concert was sponsored by Dillon's Music of Woodbridge, NJ to kick off an new line of "step up" instruments made especially for Dillon and played by the wind players in the band. A surprise guest artist showed up to "sit in" with the band--none other than famed Brazilian trumpeter Claudio Roditi!
