Did you know the drive-in theater was patented in Camden, New Jersey by chemical company magnate Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr., whose family owned and operated the R.M. Hollingshead Corporation chemical plant in Camden. In 1932 Hollingshead conducted outdoor theater tests in his driveway at 212 Thomas Avenue in Riverton. After nailing a screen to trees in his backyard, he set a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of his car and put a radio behind the screen, testing different sound levels with his car windows down and up. 

Essentials Salsa Class!💃

New York Circus Project NYCP brings theatrical classics to life with dynamic circus choreography, using acrobatics to convey visually striking narratives inspired by classic texts and stories. With a cast and creative team featuring alumni from Cirque du Soleil, the 7 Fingers (Moulin Rouge! The Musical), and L’Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montreal, NYCP’s rendition of Shakespeare’s Hamlet uniquely blurs the lines between realism and internal monologue. This blend of circus and text changes the play’s tempo, allowing for a visceral exploration of emotional conflict.
