This unique concert collaboration between the State Theatre and Crossroads Theatre Company celebrates the holiday seasons in and around the month of December including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Diwali. A holiday performance highlighting both song and dance, Common Ground features Shanice Williams, Dorothy in NBC's broadcast of The Wiz Live; a special appearance by New Brunswick Mayor Jim Cahill; plus local choirs and community organizations. The Common Ground lineup includes:

The Youth Choir of Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple
Abundant Youth Dance Troupe
JP Stevens South Asian Dance Troupe
Rutgers Liberated Gospel Choir
The Body & Music School from Piscataway
“We are honored to partner with Crossroads to celebrate the diversity of our community during this holiday season,' said Sarah Chaplin, President & CEO of State Theatre New Jersey.

A joyous culture gathering of song and dance with musical direction by Jeanel LeBlanc, graduate of Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts. “This time of year is my favorite and we are pleased to share this joyous time of year with the community,” states LeBlanc, veteran performer of Off-Broadway. The show will be sprinkled with a healthy dose of audience participation and special guests—including New Brunswick Mayor Jim Cahill—adding a special touch of holiday cheer.
In addition to Christmas, the 90-minute concert will celebrate such cultures and religions as Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, and Ramadan. “Our goal is to provide families a meaningful multi-cultural celebration for people of all ages during this special time of year,” declares Crossroads’ producing artistic director Marshall Jones, III.
