Events for Friday September 20, 2024
Exhibit Opening, Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum
On September 20, the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) will open The Head that Wears the Crown, a special exhibition on Black women's headwear from slavery to freedom. For centuries, Black women have expressed their creativity and resistance through the crowns of their heads. From head wraps to "church hats," headwear symbolized freedom, commitment to spiritual life, and a love for fashion that enslaved and free women shared. The Head that Wears the Crown explores the past, present, and future of African American women's headwear. This special exhibit will feature portrait photography of community members of all ages modeling SSAAM's collection of church hats, which date from the 1930s to the 2000s.

Groundhog Day, The Musical @Kelsey Theatre
We couldn’t wait until February to bring you this adorable musical, inspired by the hilarious film starring Bill Murray. Groundhog Day features a book by original co-screenwriter Danny Rubin, and music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Tim Minchin (Matilda the Musical). It is February 2nd in Punxutawney, Pennsylvania and a storm is coming. Phil Connors, a big-city weatherman, couldn’t be more frustrated to be reporting on the small-town Groundhog Day Ceremony – until he finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. Stuck in an endless loop of arrogance and cynicism amongst the cheery townsfolk, Phil must learn to take advantage of his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chances, break the cycle and transform his life. $30 PG13 Kelsey Theatre, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor NJ, 08550 609-570-3333
