HAPPY DAYS- JC Theater Center (JCTC) Explores Happiness Multi-Media Happening features Art, Film & Theater By River View Staff Jersey City Theater Center (JCTC) presents HAPPINESS, a series of art, theater, film and “community dialogue” that explores the role happiness plays in people’s lives and its impact on society. HAPPINESS runs Sept, 4 to Oct.14 at JCTC’s Merseles Studios on Newark Avenue. “Happiness matters to everybody,” Artistic Director Olga Levina says. “What makes you happy may not be the same thing that makes me happy, but we both share a need for happiness. JCTC is using a range of different art forms that question what happiness means to the individual and to society.” Happiness Art Show Happiness Art Show: an
exhibit of more than a dozen works, including painting, sculpture and mixed-media, curated by Jersey City-based artist Gabriel Pacheco. Happiness Factors This lecture & workshop by Leah Guy, a Holistic Lifestyle Expert, explores a range of techniques, from prayer and meditation to natural healing tools, used by people across the globe to achieve or improve their inner happiness. Happiness Factors, on September 4th, follows the Happiness Art Show opening and is free and open to the public, no reservations required. AMERICAN DREAMERS Lia Romeo’s AMERICAN DREAMERS is a dark comedy about how we navigate through a 21st century world
that values power, wealth, sex, and fame far more than genuine happiness. Becca Barrington had big dreamswhen she graduated college. Now underemployed and saddled with enormous student loan debts, she become an escort.
HAPPY (THE MOVIE) Happy, a 2011 feature documentary film directed, written, and co-produced by Academy Award nominated film-maker Roko Belic, explores happiness by looking at the latest research from experts in positive psychology
and through interviews with people from different countries and all walks of life. THE END OF THE ROAD Robert Kerr’s The End of the Road looks at how absurdity and horror coexist in contempoary American life. A Minnesota transplant, Kerr has been a playwriting fellow at Juilliard, a Jerome Fellow at the Playwrights’ Center, and founding member of Bedlam Theatre. His plays have been produced in both Minneapolis and New York. THE END OF THE ROAD centers around a couple with a terminally-ill child who take a family car trip to Florida in search of a transcendental “magical moment” the family Cont’d on page 11

says festival founder Dan Frigolette. “We have seen comedians work their way from our new talent contest all the way to landing key roles on hit television shows. The whole experience is very rewarding.” The new talent opportunities will come Monday through Thursday for comedians who submitted online. Closing each of those performances will be headliners from television and film. Those who impress a panel of industry bookers and judges will have the chance to perform for the sold out weekend shows and one final winner will be paid to open for Artie Lange on Sunday October 4th. Past headliners include Amy Schumer (Comedy Central), Carlos Mencia (HBO) Judah Friedlander (30 Rock), Todd Barry (Comedy Central, Tonight Show) Ted Alexandro (Comedy Central) Hannibal Burress (Why? on Comedy Central) Chuck Nice (Vh1’s Best Week Ever), Godfrey (Comedy Central), and two handfuls of memorable comedians. For the fourth year in a row the Hoboken Comedy Festival will donate $1
from every ticket sold to support the Liberty Humane Society, a non-profit animal shelter dedicated to promoting animal welfare and providing animals shelter, behavioral therapy and adoption services. In addition, this year the festival will be partnering with the Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps to raise money. Proceeds from the Comedy Festival’s “Beer Garden” will help the Hoboken EMS which represents 35 Years of keeping Hoboken strong through a 100% volunteer organization supported solely by donations. “It means a lot to the Hoboken Comedy Festival to support this cause,” Frigolette says.

CANVAS FENCES
Artist Norman Kirby turns Fences into Art
Kirby’s Images adorn Aluminum Fencing in Jersey City and beyond
By Sally Deering
W
alking along Jersey City, have you noticed anything different about certain aluminum fences? They’ve become an artist’s canvas depicting images like ping pong players; a skateboarder; even a mermaid with long flowing hair. Although the pieces aren’t signed, they are the work of Jersey City artist Norman Kirby who has exhibited his work in galleries throughout Jersey City and beyond. Kirby creates Fence Art by weaving
scraps of canvas through the lattice of aluminum fencing that become silhouettes of a cast of characters. He even turned one fence into a love story, with two lovers falling in and out of love. “It all started about a year ago, I wanted to do some public art,” Kirby says, sitting across the street from his mermaid on Newark Ave. “Usually I look for specific spots that get a lot of foot traffic. Street lamps are key. They get lit well by the street lamps.” Kirby’s Fence Art can

Mermaid, Newark & 6th, JC Kirby takes scraps of highquality canvas discarded from stretching canvases for Casselman and recycles it for his Fence Art. “I’m stretching canvas, building frames and shadow-boxing for him, and I’m able to get some high-quality canvas,” Kirby says.” When Kirby creates his Fence art, he generally gets great feedback, he says, even from police who may question him while he’s creating a piece. They usually let him do his thing when they realize he’s an artist creating public art. Although if the officer thinks Kirby is creating art on private or city property, he could be fined. “I could get a ticket for littering,’ Kirby says. Cont’d on page 11

STARGAZINE Sept. 2015
Aries- March 21 - April 19
STARGAZINE Judith Banta Lewis Astrology
The Moon in the first house this month has your emotions running high. Indecision about personal matters upsets and at times may find you teary eyed. This is the cleansing or might I say rebooting of your soul. You return to your cool and controlled powerful self and are much better for the experience.
Taurus- April 20 - May 20
201.339.4555 Consultation available by phone Face time, Skype and in person Stargazine 2015© Stargazing.fl@aol.com
You are a money magnet and that is your most preferred position. Analyze and strategize your finances. Did you know that by doing this you can discover waste that would be enough for a dinner at the finest restaurant.? Time and money are being lost. So take control and smile all the way to the bank!
Gemini- May 21 - June 20
Activity to the third house indicates you will be feeling right at home with the communication energy. You may be asked to speak before a group. You are considered the focus of admiration as you display your quick wit. As in nature use your talents or risk the possibility of losing the great gifts that have been bestowed upon you!
Cancer -June 21 - July 22
The word worry should be erased from your mental library. It is putting doubt into future events that have not yet crystallized. Due to our limited knowledge of the Universal plan we proceed to darken and restrict the possibilities of an amazing outcome. So with faith and optimism use the area between your ears and choose instead to think Venus and Jupiter thoughts!
Leo -July 23 - August 22
You should know, that of all the signs, Leo pushes forward without thinking of the consequences of their decisions. Powerful and loyal to a fault they never attempt to downplay their Roar!! Now is the time to count to ten and count again. Do not rush forward. Calm thoughts and a clear head are an asset this month. Rash and unbridled opinions are risky!!
Virgo -August 23 - Sept. 22 Every twelve years or so the planet Jupiter returns to our astrological sign bringing opportunities. This long awaited return is happening for the Virgo native now. What is needed to fully reap the benefits is a heart filled with possibilities and a minimal amount of criticism. Most Virgo natives have challenges in these areas.
Libra-Sept. 23 - October 22 Although many Libras love pastel colors and hate confrontations. However when pushed too far they fight back forcefully. Not in retaliation but with justice as shown by their symbol, the scales. Now Mercury in your sign in the sixth house of service indicates that you will verbally put a co- worker or business associate straight about the facts. This month you realize the power of your sign!
Scorpio - October 23 - Nov. 21
Saturn is going into Sagittarius and leaving you with some hard feelings of all the challenges you have just survived. The significant word is survived.! Now you are on the road to healing and the next months will even have you thriving both spiritually and financially. Some of this new found motivation may be attributed to Saturn.
Sagittarius -Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
The ninth house is highlighted. This is a time when you will be making plans for vacations and life. You are focused on enjoying every moment as if it were your last. The good news is that you have many years of fun in the Sun ahead of you. Your only issue is to convince those around you to leave their responsible side at home and embark on a fun expedition. Your true soul mate will be flexible in these areas.
Capricorn -Dec. 22 - Jan. 19
Activity to the ninth house governing the higher mind and education is highlighted. Opportunities for you to cleanse outdated thought patterns will be evident and you are in for an emotional ride! The final outcome, when the dust settles, an improved powerful Capricorn native.
Aquarius -Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 At times you may wonder why you aren’t as happy with your life as you should be. You are intelligent and attractive and things are pretty much going as planned. But in the lyrics of an old song you ask yourself “Is that all there is?” The answer is there is a lot more if your dare! Adventure and excitement are yours! Go for the passion and live your life! The stars approve.
Pisces -Feb. 19 - March 20
Activity to the eleventh house governing your hopes and wishes has taken the Neptune influence and made you an positive thinking freak! Instead of gloom and doom you can look on the bright side of events. You are in the right place and star pattern for growth and abundance. Look around and smile as you now can see evident changes in your life. It is just the beginning of success. Enjoy!

“This exhibition presents highlights from the Newark Museum’s collection of late modern abstraction, bringing together works by major figures and innovators experimenting with color and light, including Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Donald Judd, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Alma Thomas and others. Minimalism and Color Field painting emerged in the 1950s and flourished throughout the 1960s and 70s. Favoring simplified geometric shapes and machine-made materials, such as steel, plastic, and fluorescent light, these artists created works that feature sleek, streamlined surfaces and bold inventive approaches to color.” SEND US YOUR ARTS LISTINGS.
