SOPAC Benefit
06/19/2010 - By South Orange, NJ

SOPAC Benefit

The South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) presented SMALL TOWN, BIG TALENT, an all-day, star-filled celebration to benefit SOPAC, to honor the South Orange/Maplewood community and its contribution to the arts.

From 11:00AM – 11:00PM on Saturday, June 19th, over 1,000 local residents of all ages are anticipated to experience a plethora of performances, workshops, panel discussions, and more. From a morning family-friendly show featuring indigenous music of Africa, to an intimate afternoon conversation with Columbia High School alumni Zach Braff and AJ Calloway, to a glamorous evening with performances by several stars of stage and screen, SMALL TOWN, BIG TALENT is an unprecedented festival of the arts!

“The genesis of SMALL TOWN, BIG TALENT is the vision and passion of one impactful South Orange resident, Jonathan Felsman, who lost his battle with cancer last year,” explains Ondine Landa-Abramson, SOPAC’s Executive Director. “He was committed to making both South Orange and SOPAC premier arts destinations. We hope to reflect his incomparable vision and drive through this extraordinary event.” In Felsman’s honor, SOPAC will bestow the 2010 Jonathan Felsman Spirit Award to South Orange’s beloved traffic control officer Butch Larkin. In addition, the 2010 Spring Gala Honoree awards go to former Secretary of State of New Jersey Nina Mitchell Wells, and founding SOPAC Chair of the Board Barbara Stoller.
