2024-05-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Sharp Theater, Berrie Center for the Arts, 505 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, NJ, 07430, United States
Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness and robust musicality. Named a Rising Star Male Vocalist in Downbeat magazine, DeSare has lived up to this distinction by winning critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout North America and abroad. From jazz clubs to Carnegie Hall to Las Vegas headlining with Don Rickles and major symphony orchestras, DeSare has brought his fresh take on old school class around the globe.
His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual, but what sets DeSare apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and contemporary, yet pays homage to the Great American Songbook.

Julie Benko joined the annals of theatrical legend and lore for her sensational understudy-to-star trajectory as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl. Between her tenure as the standby, alternate, and full-time Fanny, she played the role over 180 times! The New York Times raved that “Julie Benko is the bright-eyed, dulcet-voiced soprano who went from standby to star.”
Joined by her husband Jason Yeager on piano, Julie reflects on the journey leading to her meteoric rise, sharing songs and behind-the-scenes stories of her days understudying in Les Misérables, Fiddler on the Roof, Spring Awakening, and more. Standby, Me offers an evening of spectacular vocals, theatrical lore, and inspiration for all the greatest stars-to-be.

Much Ado About Nothing by Ranjit Bolt
A Staged Reading Directed by L. James
Adler Theater
October 16-20, 2024
In Much Ado About Nothing, a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings spiral out of control, leaving two sets of lovers to untangle their words and their hearts. Ranjit Bolt, an accomplished translator, takes on Shakespeare’s well-loved comedy to update much of the obscure language while maintaining the humor, characterization, and wit that audiences know and love. This production is part of Play On Shakespeare, which commissions new translations and supports productions of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse.
Tickets are free to this performance, but must be reserved in advance.

Polaroid Stories by Naomi Iizuka
Directed by Lester Mayers
Sharp Theater
November 15-23, 2024
Trigger Acknowledgement: This show portrays real-life experiences involving abuse, drug use, domestic violence, the unhoused, and sex work. The language of the play reflects the extremity of these experiences and is sometimes graphic. We want to stress that we have made sure support resources are easily accessible for anyone who may be triggered or impacted by these themes.
A visceral blend of classical mythology and real-life stories told by street kids, Iizuka’s award-winning play journeys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for transcendence, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in which characters’ lives are continually threatened, devalued, and effaced. Inspired in part by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Polaroid Stories depicts modern-day mortals engulfed by needs that burn and consume with lyricism and great theatrical force.

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 7pm, Adler Theater at Berrie Center
Tristan Perich’s work is inspired by the aesthetic simplicity of math, physics and code. The WIRE Magazine describes his compositions as “an austere meeting of electronic and organic.” His 2004 release, 1-Bit Music, was the first album ever released as a microchip, programmed to synthesize his electronic composition live. His group Loud Objects makes electronic music visible, soldering sound circuits from scratch on stage while an antique overhead projector displays their actions to the audience.
Free and open to the public.
