Macbeth Saturday 8/17

The Hudson Shakespeare Company performs Macbeth live at The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery (435 Newark Ave.) at 7pm on Saturday, August 17th. Watch a classic put to the stage in this theatrical benefit for the cemetery, which is a 100% volunteer-operated space, having no house-of-worship affiliation and no city or state funding.
This performance is sure to knock you out of the park! So bring your friends, your family, your blankets (nights are starting to get chilly). You may think a cemetery is a creepy place to gather, especially at night, but Harsimus really is a neat spot. Read about my experience here.
There’s a suggested donation of $10 per person for the show. In the cemetery’s words: “Every month we need to raise between $2000 to $3000 just to operate & purchase equipment & supplies. If 300 people would donate only $10 each, we would be all set for the month of September! Please help our amazing restoration work by contributing today at http://www.jerseycitycemetery.org“
Enjoy,

Tour The New Jersey Brewing Company Tonight 8/16
categories: Community/ Volunteers, Events
Tonight the New Jersey Beer Company is hosting a brewery tour from 6-9pm at 4201 Tonnelle Avenue, North Bergen, NJ, specifically for JC Ties members—Jersey City’s networking group for young professionals. Sign up to join the club here.
“Considering that the New Jersey Beer Company is the only brewery in Hudson County, it only makes sense to support it!” boasts the flier. I totally agree.
Taste Garden State Stout, Hudson Pale Ale, 1787 Abbey Single Ale and seasonal brews. After the free sample pours, order a pint or two—all are priced at $5 or below.
Also, The NJBC has a special raffle for Jersey City Ties members only: One lucky winner will go home with a growler of craft beer (64 oz.) and two pint glasses.
If you can’t make tonight’s event, note that NJBC does brewery tours and tastings for the public every Friday night from 5-9pm and Saturday from 1-6pm.
Insider Tip: You can get a $4 credit with New Jersey Beer Company (anytime) if you take a pic in front of their billboard on 6th St. and Jersey Ave.
