Dr. Seuss' The Zax and Rusalka for Young Families

For the fourth year, the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race will bring young families together to share a musical experience that encourages including others who may not look like or think like us. The main production, Rusalka – It’s the Voice, is an adaptation of the Czech version of The Little Mermaid told through song and dance complete with costumes and opera arias. A musical rendition of Dr. Seuss’ The Zax will round out the event, adding drums, bass and dance to the narration of this tale of non-compromise. Performances are at 10 AM and 11:30AM on Saturday, March 22 at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC), One SOPAC Way, South Orange New Jersey 07079. Tickets are $5 at the SOPAC Box Office and $6 both by phone at 973-313-2787 and online at sopacnow.org/tickets. Check www.twotowns.org for more details. The venue is wheelchair accessible. This event is made possible in part by funds from New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs
