Hudson County Community College to Host Virtual Performance of ‘Letters from Anne and Martin’ and Exhibition Tour Event highlights key messages of Holocaust diarist, Anne Frank, and Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Hudson County Community College (HCCC) Department of Cultural Affairs (DOCA) will celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion with a live virtual performance of “Letters from Anne and Martin” on Thursday, October 22, at 12:30 p.m. The event may be viewed on Webex, using access code 1322911845 and password 1234.

The HCCC President’s Advisory Council on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (PACDEI), in partnership with the Anne Frank Center USA, is presenting the event, which concludes a month-long

presentation of virtual exhibition tours and live performances.

“Letters from Anne and Martin” is a unique, dramatic production that combines the iconic voices of Anne Frank and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom were born in 1929. Although they represent drastically different eras and cultures – the Holocaust and Civil Rights struggle – Anne Frank and Dr. King shared similar experiences of hatred and prejudice.

Developed using excerpts of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Dr. King’s “Letter from a

Birmingham Jail,” the production evokes the key messages from the legendary figures and their hopes and plans for a peaceful, unified world. Despite persecution – Anne Frank in Nazi-occupied Holland, and Dr. King in the Jim Crow South – the Jewish Holocaust diarist and the Black Civil

Rights Movement leader believed in fairness and justice for all.

Following the performance, HCCC DOCA Director Michelle Vitale will host a 15-minute virtual tour of “Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album,” and exhibition of more than 50 of Otto Frank’s reproduced photographs, many of which are seldom publicly displayed.

Otto Frank’s photographs had a single theme: his daughters, Anne and Margot. Mr. Frank used his Leica camera to snap his girls in familial settings at home, school, beachside, and more. Nothing in Mr. Frank’s photographs reveals the horrors the family would endure.

More information on the Anne Frank exhibition and the virtual gallery tours may be obtained by emailing gallery@hccc.edu.

and economy of Jersey City, as well as provide increased opportunities for arts education for youth in the city.

The proposed new tax is modest – a maximum of 2 cents for every $100 of assessed valuation Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop in favor of the fund told ABC News in September “A vote ‘yes’ on Election Day for that small fee will collectively go a long way for the future of Jersey City’s dynamic culture, strengthening our vibrant arts scene and ultimately invigorating the community as a whole” “Now more than ever, we need to establish sustainable fiscal models to provide a strong foundation for our unique arts and culture to grow and thrive,

now and for future generations to come.”

And we agree and urge voters to vote yes.

Jersey City would become the first municipality to create this type of fund If approved If you want to invest in Jersey City, invest in their youth, invest in small businesses, invest in the Jersey City community, invest in the Arts. Vote Yes for the Jersey City Arts Fund!

Small Business Grant Opportunity The State of New Jersey is expanding grant opportunities for small businesses through the NJ Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).

The grant expands the existing program the NJEDA introduced earlier this year, to help businesses with

COVID-19 related expenses. According to the NJEDA website, any Hudson County businesses or nonprofit located in New Jersey with 50 or fewer full time employees may be eligible for grants between $5,000 and $20,000. Preapplications will open on Monday, October 19 and will close on Tuesday, October 27.

ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES 2020-2021 INKUBATOR PLAYWRIGHTS Art House Productions (Meredith Burns, Executive Director) is proud to announce the 2020-2021 cohort of its INKubator Program.

INKubator is a year-long generative process for a select group of 6 playwrights in residence at Art House Productions.

This year’s playwrights are Andrea Coleman, Izzi D’Esposito, Madeline Dennis-Yates, Nathaniel Foster, Aja Nisenson, and SMJ. Playwrights will meet on a monthly basis alongside program director Alex Tobey to share new work, receive feedback, and develop a first draft of a new play. Meetings will begin virtually, but are expected to transition to in-person when it’s safe to do so. In the spring, each writer will team up with a director and actors to present a public reading in May as a part of the annual INKubator New Play Festival. In addition to monthly meetings, INKubator playwrights will receive free admission to performances, mixers, and other events at Art House Productions.

Playwrights will also have the ability to schedule time in both the theatre and classroom for any meetings, rehearsals, and readings as needed for free. The 3rd Annual INKubator New Play Festival, a six-day marathon festival that serves as the culmination of the residency will take place in May 2021. Audiences who attend the festival will also have the opportunity to participate in conversations with the writers, directors, and actors following each performance.

This year’s submissions were evaluated through a process coordinated by Art House Productions’ INKubator Program Director, Alex Tobey, in partnership with Art House Productions’ Meredith Burns, playwright and director Kevin R. Free, Art House Productions’ Courtney Little, and playwright Lia Romeo.

The following finalists were also honored in this year’s submission process: Avery Deutsch, Bixby Elliot, Vince Gatton, Amy Gijsbers van Wijk, Steven Hayet, James Kennedy, Grant MacDermott, Matt Minnicino, Max Reuben, Amalia Oliva Rojas, and Emma Catherine Watkins.

Meredith Burns, Executive Director of Art House Productions, says, “I think playwriting is more important than ever before. The traditional playgoing theater experience is mostly on hold, but when all is fully safe, I believe theater will experience a renaissance by bringing people together to cathartically explore ideas in the same room again. A few of the selected playwrights will incorporate virtual options for audiences and we’re thrilled to support new, traditional, and hybrid forms of theater. We at Art House know how difficult this period in time is for theater artists and we’re continuing to look for ways to support. We encourage all of the playwrights that applied this year to keep creating. The theater will come back and your voice will be needed.”

mixed-use brick building that is situated approximately two miles from the Journal Square Transportation Center, which offers a 15-minute ride to the World Trade Center. The property also proposed a development or an expansion/conversion opportunity, which has since been approved

by Jersey City to convert to 13 apartments with 6 parking spots.
