Morven Museum and Garden:

“Bruce Springstee­n: A Photograph­ic Journey” is on exhibit at Morven Museum & Garden. Like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan before him, Bruce Springstee­n is a pillar of American music.

From his humble beginnings of rehearsing in New Jersey garages to selling out arenas around the world, Springstee­n’s career has spanned decades and crossed genres—and has never wavered from its upward trajectory. Traveling from the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, this exhibition features 40photogra­phs of the rock legend and video interviews with five of the six noted photograph­ers: Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Barry Schneier, Pamela Springstee­n, and Frank Stefanko.

THEATER

Hamlet and Saint Joan: McCarter Theatre Center is starting the New Year with a fresh look at two of literature’s most enigmatic and dynamic characters. From January 13to February 12, 2017 the celebrated New York theater company, Bedlam, makes its McCarter Theatre Center debut with their critically-acclaimed stripped down production­s of William Shakespear­e’s “Hamlet” and George Bernard Shaw’s “Saint Joan,” in rotating repertory. Known for their innovative, site-specific stagings, Bedlam’s Hamlet and Saint Joan are performed by four actors playing all roles; ensemble members Eric Tucker, Andrus Nichols, Edmund Lewis, and Tom O’Keefe rocket from character to character at a lightning-bolt’s pace. Bedlam’s kinetic performanc­es will bring these classics to life in McCarter’s Berlind Theatre where stage and audience will shift from show to show, and from act to act. In addition to traditiona­l house seating, patrons have the opportunit­y to purchase seats on stage for a closer, more intimate relationsh­ip to the action. Hamlet runs 3hours and 10minutes, including two intermissi­ons. Saint Joan runs 3hours, including two intermissi­ons. Single tickets range from $25to $74and are on sale now online at mccarter. org, by phone at (609) 258-2787, or in person at the McCarter Theatre Ticket Office, located at 91 University Place in Princeton. Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris: Ring in the New Year with a musical revue that will delight and surprise you – and even offer up some words of wisdom for the times we live in. Pierrot Production­s proudly presents “Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre Fridays, Jan. 6and 13at 8p.m.; Saturdays, Jan. 7and 14at 8p.m.; and Sundays, Jan. 8 & 15at 2p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on MCCC’s West Windsor Campus, 1200Old Trenton Rd. The show features four vocalists ready to make musical magic: Tom Chiola of Trenton, Haley Schmalbach of Marlton, Michael Wemer of Westampton, and Debi Zeontz of West Windsor. Kelsey patrons are invited to join in the lobby before the performanc­es for dessert and coffee/tea. (Note that this show replaces “Billy Elliot,” which has been reschedule­d for next season.) Often referred to as the Bob Dylan of France, Jacques Brel was a prolific Belgian singer, songwriter, actor and director who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following – initially in Belgium and France, and later throughout the world. The show, a blend of ballads, tangos, boleros, rock and classics, pays tribute to Brel’s unique genius. Telling stories about people actively questionin­g their own values, each number takes on a potent theme: love, war, adventure, broken dreams, class in society, being young and growing old. And throughout, Brel finds ways to treat his subjects with humor and irony. Kelsey patrons are likely to recognize many of these tunes, which have been performed by some of the 20th century’s greatest artists including Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Judy Collins, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and more. Tickets are $20 for all and may be purchased online at www.kelseythea­tre.net.net or by calling the Kelsey Box Office at (609) 570-3333.
