Unique live performances that you’ll want to attend!
The Montclair Public Library will host five live performances this fall! With dates throughout the month of October and November, expect talents from the Opera Theatre of Montclair, Hudson Shakespeare Company, Montclair State University’s John J. Cali School of Music, and two local bands. Each event takes place in the main library auditorium.
“Choosing just one performance is difficult! I love Halloween and I’m looking forward to the Tales of Edgar Allen Poe. Poe is spooky and seeing his stories acted out should get us all in the mood for the holiday.” said Chelsea Dodd, Information Specialist at Montclair Public Library.
