Art House Productions Unveils In The Wind

(Jersey City, NJ — May 7, 2026) — Art House Productions (Executive Artistic Director Meredith Burns) proudly announces In The Wind, a large-scale public art installation transforming Lincoln Park in Jersey City with artist-designed flags featuring original work by Hudson County artists. Presented in celebration of the organization’s 25th anniversary, the exhibition highlights the depth and diversity of Hudson County’s creative community.

Curated by Tina Maneca, In The Wind showcases original works by artists who live, work, or maintain studios in Hudson County. Installed around Edgewood Lake, the works are presented on flags that move with the wind, creating a dynamic, ever-changing exhibition shaped by light, motion, and the natural landscape. All flags are priced at $500 and will be available for purchase throughout the run of the installation.

In The Wind will be on view at Lincoln Park (1 County Rd 605, Jersey City, NJ) from June through November 2026. The opening will take place during ACCESS JC Fridays on June 5, 2026, with a reception at The View from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For more information, visit jcfridays.com.

Meredith Burns, Executive Artistic Director, states:
“This is an incredibly exciting project made possible through the support of the NJEDA A.R.T. – Phase II Grant Program. Hudson County is home to an extraordinary range of talented and diverse artists, and it’s an honor to present their work for the public to experience throughout the summer and fall.
It’s rare to have this level of support—from the county, from state and federal funding, and from our own team—to realize a project of this scale. We don’t take that for granted. This installation reflects the dedication of our board, staff, and community, who make ambitious projects like this possible.”

Tina Maneca, Curator Statement:
“Public art brings tremendous cultural, social, and economic benefits to communities. It enhances neighborhood identity, beautifies public spaces, and sparks conversation, encouraging reflection and connection among residents. By making art accessible to everyone, installations like this contribute to public health and well-being, offering moments of inspiration and joy.

As a West Side resident, it is a privilege to curate a new installation in Lincoln Park. This project highlights a diverse group of Hudson County artists whose work reflects a wide range of mediums and perspectives. Beyond decoration, public art supports local artists and transforms familiar spaces into vibrant cultural destinations for all.”

Watching Andrea Keck bring Nancy Donough to life in the world premiere of BANSHEE was one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had as a mom. She carried this role with such grace, depth, and raw emotion that I found myself forgetting she was my daughter and just being completely swept away by her performance. I was proud and emotional all at once — and that feeling didn’t leave me when the lights came up.

BANSHEE, written by local playwright Adam Richter and directed by Jody Reppert, is a beautifully haunting story about legacy, courage, and the things we carry across generations. The themes hit deep. This isn’t just good local theater — this is the kind of storytelling that stays with you.

And Andrea didn’t do it alone. The entire cast was remarkable. There was a chemistry and commitment on that stage that made every scene feel real and alive. Reading Theater Project has truly outdone themselves with this production.

From the sewers of despair to the rooftops of rebellion, comes a tale of love, laughter, and… limited bathroom access. In a city not so far from here, a severe water shortage creates a need to control access to toilet facilities. A greedy CEO provides the wrong answer to the right question: how do we ensure every citizen has the right to pee?

‘Urinetown’ is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself.

For anyone not familiar with the play by Larry Shue, THE NERD centers on Willum Cubbert, a mild-mannered architect who’s eager to thank the man who saved his life in Vietnam—only to discover that Rick Steadman, his unexpected guest, is… well… socially impossible. What follows is a brilliantly escalating comedy of manners (or lack thereof), as Rick bulldozes his way through Willum’s carefully constructed life, leaving chaos in his wake.

Jason Benjamin is terrific as Willum Cubbert, serving as the grounded center of the storm. His slow unraveling as Rick’s behavior becomes more outrageous is both believable and hilarious. Katy Cockrell brings charm and intelligence to Tansy McGinnis, giving the audience someone to root for amidst the madness, while Sean Buckley’s Axel Hammond adds just the right touch of theatrical flair and comedic exaggeration.

But let’s talk about the engine of the show—Brad Forenza as Rick Steadman, “The Nerd.” This role is a high-wire act, and Forenza absolutely commits. His physical comedy is fearless, his timing is razor sharp, and his ability to make the audience both cringe and laugh at the same time is impressive. He leans fully into Rick’s obliviousness without ever making him one-note, which keeps the character funny instead of frustrating. It’s a performance that drives the entire production, and he nails it.

The Waldgrave family adds another layer of comic gold. Joe Lozito is wonderfully frazzled as Warnock Waldgrave, capturing that perfect mix of anxiety and desperation. Paula Ehrenberg’s Clelia Waldgrave provides a great comedic counterbalance, and William Lozito as young Thor is a scene-stealer, delivering his moments with confidence and sharp comic instincts well beyond his years.

One of the biggest highlights of the night—the infamous dinner party game with bags over the characters’ heads—was pure comedic chaos in the best possible way. The timing, the physicality, the escalating absurdity… it all landed beautifully. You could feel the entire audience leaning forward, trying to catch every ridiculous beat while laughing nonstop. It’s the kind of scene that reminds you why farce, when done well, is such a joy.

The pacing throughout the production is spot-on, never letting the energy dip. Under the direction of Chris Peterson the cast clearly understands how to build a laugh and then top it, scene after scene. And underneath all the hilarity, there’s a surprisingly warm message about friendship, gratitude, and acceptance that gives the play a satisfying emotional core.

All in all, this is a wonderfully entertaining production from Westfield Community Players—polished, energetic, and genuinely funny. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and grab a ticket. Shows like this are exactly why community theatre matters.

Matthew Helmer

Author’s Bio:
Matthew Helmer is a longtime New Jersey theatre fan who rarely misses an opening weekend. A lover of comedy and classic plays, he’s happiest sitting in a darkened theatre surrounded by a crowd that’s ready to laugh together.

Fierstein’s concept is bold and thought-provoking. Playcrafters deserves credit for programming such a work. In 1962, cross-dressing was a criminal offense. In today’s climate—where toxic masculinity often dominates cultural discourse—the question of what it means to be a man feels more relevant than ever.

The retreat, Casa Valentina, is owned and operated by George (Greg Kasander), known within the community as Valentina. With the business on the brink of bankruptcy, one member proposes transforming the resort into a national nonprofit organization—with the controversial stipulation that homosexuals be excluded from membership. George/Valentina brings the proposal before the group, sparking a spirited and often fraught debate about going public, risking legal consequences, and confronting shifting social mores.

This ensemble-driven production features a number of strong performances and is directed with attention to detail by Stephanie Weidner. Alongside costume designer Sherry Yerger and wig and makeup designer Julie Kruk, the creative team accomplishes the difficult task of making the characters’ transformations believable without veering into caricature or female impersonation. These are men who find fulfillment in dressing as women, yet their masculine identities remain fully present. It is precisely this duality—the coexistence of masculine and feminine—that gives the play much of its intrigue.

Among the standout moments is a hilarious and revealing scene involving Jonathan (Jack Garton), the youngest and newest member of the group. As the others guide him through his transformation into his alter ego, Miranda, the process unfolds before our eyes with both humor and fascination, showcasing the strength of the ensemble.

Equally compelling is Rita, George’s wife, who serves as the emotional center of the play. Worn and quietly harboring deep sadness, she is both supportive of her husband and apprehensive about what the future may bring. It is a demanding role, and Susan Bolt delivers a nuanced performance, especially in the second act, where she conveys moments of genuine heartbreak with striking authenticity.

The play is not without its challenges. At times, the weight of its subject matter is undercut by dialogue that veers toward sitcom-like simplicity. While it presents itself as a plea for tolerance, it occasionally treads uneasily in its portrayal of cross-dressers in contrast to gay men. The second act, too, can feel somewhat didactic.

Still, despite these imperfections, Playcrafters’ production of CASA VALENTINA delivers a satisfying evening of theater.

Author’s Bio: Franklin Joseph is an avid theatre goer. Recently relocated from Chicago, he is delighted to be in southeast Pennsylvania among such an active theatre and arts community.

From the moment the lights come up, Cathy Leibensperger establishes total control as Karnak, the enigmatic automaton guiding the story. It’s a tricky role—equal parts narrator, philosopher, and unsettling puppet master—but she navigates it with precision and presence. There’s a stillness and authority to her performance that anchors the chaos around her, and it works beautifully.

Rachel Day’s Ocean is a force—ambitious, commanding, and hilariously self-assured. She drives the competitive tension of the show with strong vocals and sharp comedic instincts. Timothy Shuman, Jr. brings warmth and theatrical flair to Noel, delivering his character’s longing and identity with both humor and heart. Tony Quinones gives Mischa a grounded sincerity beneath the bravado, while David Gieringer’s Ricky is a standout in physical storytelling—transforming what could be a quiet role into something imaginative and memorable.

But I have to pause and talk about Leah Zettlemoyer as Constance. Her performance is something special. The way she transitions between humor and vulnerability—sometimes within a single line—is stunning. Those high/low emotional shifts feel completely natural, and when she lands her big moments, you feel it in your chest. It’s the kind of performance that sneaks up on you and stays with you afterward.

And then there’s Isabella Koenig as Jane Doe. Her haunting vocal quality is, quite simply, breathtaking. There’s an eerie purity to her sound that perfectly matches the character’s mystery—and yes, it brought tears. It’s one of those performances where the entire audience seems to collectively hold their breath.

As a whole, this ensemble works beautifully together under Evan Watkins’ direction, embracing the show’s offbeat humor, emotional depth, and surreal style. It’s worth noting that Ride the Cyclone does explore some adult themes—mortality, identity, and existential questions—so a little discretion is advised for younger audiences. That said, the material is handled thoughtfully and with care.

Fleetwood Community Theatre continues to prove that community theatre can be bold, inventive, and deeply impactful. This production is a perfect example of that spirit—ambitious, heartfelt, and thoroughly entertaining. If this is any indication of what’s ahead, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on their future shows.

Author’s Bio:
Claire Montgomery is a lifelong theatre lover who rarely misses a local production. She enjoys everything from classic musicals to bold contemporary works and loves supporting community theatre and the artists who bring stories to life on stage.

With the exception of the title song, many of the songs feel trite and generic. But without a doubt, the highlight of the production is the musical direction by Nathan Diehl. Under his leadership, both orchestra and cast deliver powerhouse vocals supported by a polished, top-notch ensemble.

The production is visually striking. David Gallo’s scenic design is colorful, stylish, and clever, evoking a minimalist vision of the corporate rat race. The stage is gorgeously lit by lighting designer Eric Haugen.

Karen Getz’s choreography is clean and delivers the expected audience-pleasing moments, and the performers execute the movement with confidence. At times, however, the choreography feels at odds with the characters and the period.

Essentially a revenge tale, leaning heavily on sexist stereotypes as a group of female employees take on their chauvinistic male boss, the book is the musical’s weakest element, relying on caricatures rather than fully developed characters. In the context of the #MeToo era, its treatment of misogyny and workplace harassment can feel superficial, reduced to glib one-liners and innuendo, and resolved with an overly tidy conclusion. Strong dramatic writing this is not. Given these limitations, one might wish that Valerie Joyce’s direction engaged more deeply with the material. As it stands, the acting often feels perfunctory and secondary to the production’s technical and musical strengths.

A Classic American Comedy from the 1930’s Grandpa Vanderhof and his wacky family, the Sycamores, have been happily living their zany lives in his house by Columbia University in New York for many years. This family (and their friends) are a madcap group of eccentrics, marching to the beat of their own drum, with pride and joy. Their hobbies include collecting snakes, building fireworks in the basement, writing a myriad of plays that never get published, and taking ballet lessons. Things like stress, jobs, and paying taxes to the government are for other people, not for them! But when practical young Alice Sycamore becomes engaged to her company’s Vice President Tony Kirby, the Vanderhof/Sycamore clan must straighten up to meet the new in-laws. Disaster ensues when the Kirbys arrive at the wrong time and, despite the best laid plans, see Alice’s family in all of its crazy glory. The evening ends with everyone in the house getting arrested, and Alice ending the engagement. It isn’t until Grandpa’s wise speech to Mr. Kirby about the importance of living life to the fullest that the two families find a way to accept each other, and love conquers all. You Can’t Take It with You is a madcap, idealistic comedy that reinforces the idea that you can only live life to the fullest by doing whatever makes you happy.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

Penelope “Penny” Sycamore  Preferred age: 40 and up Usually goes by Penny, Penelope is the mother of Essie and Alice, wife of Paul, and daughter of Martin. She writes plays and paints as hobbies because it makes her happy, but is terrible at both. Penny is a loving mother and wife and is constantly concerned with the welfare of her family. Her main goal is to make sure everyone is happy, particularly her daughter Alice. Hugepart! On stage almost all the time.

Martin “Grandpa” Vanderhof Preferred age: 60 and up Referred to mostly as Grandpa in the play. Father-in-law to Paul, father of Penny, grandfather of Alice and Essie. He is an eccentric happy old man who has never paid his income tax because he doesn’t believe in it, as he feels that the government wouldn’t know what to do with the money if he paid for it. He lives his life by the philosophy: “Don’t do anything that you’re not going to enjoy doing.” He goes to circuses, commencements, throws darts, and collects stamps. A challenging role indeed, but most of your blocking is…sitting in a rocker.

Alice Sycamore Preferred age: 18 and up Fiancé of Tony Kirby, daughter of Paul and Penny, Granddaughter of Martin, sister of Essie. She the only “normal” family member. She has an office job, and is rather embarrassed by the eccentricities of her family when she has Tony and his parents at her house, yet she still loves them. She tends to be a pessimist. The actress for Alice needs to show characteristics of loveembarrassment, worry, and many more.

Tony Kirby Preferred age: 18 and up Fiancé of Alice, Son of Mr. and Mrs. Kirby. He sees how, even though the Sycamores appear odd, they are really the perfect family because they love and care about each other. His ownfamily is very proper and has many issues none of them will admit. He is vice president of Kirbyand Co. This actor will need to have an adorable properness to him. The audience will need to be on Tony’s side right from the start.

Anthony W. Kirby Preferred age: 45 and up Husband of Mrs. Kirby, father of Tony. He is a very proper man who is president of Kirby and Co. and secretly despises his job. His hobby is raising expensive orchids. He is also a member of the Harvard Society, the Union Club, the National Geographic Society, and the Racquet Club. Being rich and borderline snobby is a good start for an actor to experiment with for this role. Whoever has this role will also need to not laugh when hilarity ensues.

Essie Carmichael  Preferred age: 23 and up Wife of Ed, daughter of Penny and Paul Sycamore, Granddaughter of Martin, sister of Alice. She is childish. As a hobby she makes candy that Ed sells. Essie dreams of being a ballerina. She has spent 8 years studying with Boris Kolenkhov, but is a terrible dancer. Actresses whoperform these embarrassing, bad dances need to keep a very straight face, and is willing to dance intermingled with Kolenkhov. Hilarity will ensue.

Boris Kolenkhov  Preferred age: 40 and up A Russian who escaped to America shortly before the Russian Revolution. He is very concerned with world politics, and the deterioration of Russia. He is the ballet instructor of Essie, aware that she is untalented at dancing, but knows that she enjoys dancing, so he keeps working with her. He likes the Greeks and the Romans, questions society, and is interested inworld affairs. He is opinionated and often loudly declares that something “stinks”! This actor can be either very large and boisterous, or small and flamboyant. Will need to be able to support Essie physically and keep a straight face.

Paul Sycamore Preferred age: 40 and up Father of Essie and Alice, husband of Penny, Son-in-law of Martin. He is a Tinker who manufactures fireworks in the basement with the help of his assistant Mr. De Pinna. His hobby is playing with erector sets. It will help have an age-appropriateactor for this role. A common, fatherly character is all Paul needs.

Ed Carmichael  Preferred age: 25 and up Husband of Essie, son-in-law of Paul and Penny. He is a xylophone player, and distributes Essie’s candies. Ed is an amateur printer who prints anything that sounds good to him. He prints up dinner menus for his family and little quotes that he places in the boxes of Essie’s candy. He also likes to make masks. The actor will need to be confident in all his crafts but show meekness when he is later confronted with a visit from the feds.

Mr. De Pinna Preferred age: 35 and up The iceman who came inside to speak to Paul five years before and never left. He helps Mr. Sycamore builds fireworks, and moonlights as a model in Mrs. Sycamore’s paintings. He is a nutty guy. This is kind of a side-kick role to Paul. Witty, random jokes. A perfect role for someone who can have a lot of fun designing a uniquely written character.

Donald Preferred age: 25 and up The boyfriend of Rheba, who seems to serve as volunteer handyman for the Sycamores. In the words of Mrs. Sycamore, “The two of them are really cute together, something like Porgy and Bess.” The characters of Donald and Rheba, according to the script, are African American. These roles, and their dialogues, can be altered freely.

Rheba Preferred age: 25 and up The maid and cook to the Sycamore family. She is dating Donald. She is onstage a lot, but doesn’t necessarily say anything. The characters of Donald and Rheba, according tothe script are African American. These roles, and their dialogues, can be altered freely.

Wilbur C. Henderson Preferred age: 30 and up An employee of the IRS. He comes to collect the tax money owed by Grandpa, and can’t understand why the latter won’t pay income tax. A one-scene role that has brought out tons of laughs and stomach cramps from audience all over. Perfect for someone who wants to act, but may not have a lot of time to commit.

Miriam Kirby Preferred age: 45 and up Wife of Mr. Kirby, mother of Tony. She is an extremely prim and proper woman and is horrified by the goings-on in the Sycamore household. Her hobby is spiritualism. A small, female role, but one that shows a great deal of emotion.

The Grand Duchess Olga Katrina Preferred age: 45 and up She was one of the Grand Duchesses of Russia before the Revolution, another being her sister, theGrand Duchess Natasha. Since then, she has been forced to flee to America where she has found work as a waitress in Childs Restaurant. The rest of her family has had a similar fate, such as her Uncle Sergei, the Grand Duke, who is now an elevator man. She loves to cook as a hobby. This character will appear later in the play, and the actress needs to be able to be a bit over-the-top but not overdo it. A memorable, not necessarily overwhelming, Russian accent is desired.

Gay Wellington  Preferred age: 35 and up An actress whom Mrs. Sycamore meets on a bus and invites home to read one of her plays. She is an alcoholic, gets very drunk and passes out shortly after arriving at the Sycamore’s home. A very small role, but onstage for several scenes. The actress mustn’t be afraid to be physically carried by another actor, and can act “passed out”, in hilarious positions, without breaking character.

G-Man 1 “The Man”, G-Man 2 “Jim” G-Man 3 “Mac” (Preferred age: 21 and up Three agents who come to investigate Ed because of the communist things he prints up, such as “God is the State – the State is G

Summary of Show: A jealous king, convinced that his wife has been unfaithful puts her on trial and orders their newborn daughter cast out of the kingdom. The child is abandoned to die, but when she is found and raised by a shepherd, it seems redemption may be possible. A blend of tragedy, comedy and romance, Shakespeare’s emotionally potent late play explores the human capacity for forgiveness and tests the limits of time’s healing ability.

Audition Details for our 2026-27 Opening Show

Wilmington Drama League is seeking three actors for an upcoming comedy-drama centered on the behind-the-scenes tensions, humor, and personalities involved in the making of a movie.

Set during the troubled shoot this sharp, character-driven play explores ego, artistry, friendship, and the challenges of working together under pressure. These are portrayals of real people, not impressions or caricatures. We are seeking actors who can capture the depth, humanity, and complexity of these individuals.

Due to licensing restrictions the title will be revealed on June 29.

WHEN:

Monday, May 11th and Tuesday May 12th at 7pm till 8:30pm (Must arrive and check-in by 8 p.m.)

Possible Callback on Thursday May 14th

WHERE:

Wilmington Drama League
10 W Lea Blvd, Wilmington, DE 19802

AUDITION INFORMATION:

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. For questions regarding auditions, please contact the director, Joseph Pukatsch, at irsher17@gmail.com.

ROLES AVAILABLE:

Male Presenting 35–45: A steady, grounded presence caught between two larger personalities. Easygoing and practical, he often serves as the peacemaker when tempers flare. A relatable everyman with quiet strength and dry wit.

Male Presenting, 25–30: A talented rising star with confidence to spare, but underlying insecurity. Representing a younger generation, he often clashes with more traditional viewpoints. Energetic, impulsive, and occasionally awkward, he brings restless charm to the room.

Male Presenting, 45–50: A seasoned veteran actor with commanding presence and sharp intelligence. Old-school, charismatic, and complicated, he frequently finds himself at odds with the younger performer. Requires strong vocal work, including a British accent with the ability to shift into an American accent.
