She received her B.S. and M.A. degrees in visual art from the City College of New York in 1955 and 1959. Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of California in San Diego, Ringgold has received 23 Honorary Doctorates. A major retrospective of her work was presented last year by the New Museum in their exhibition, “Faith Ringgold: American People.” During the early 1960’s Ringgold traveled in Europe. She created her first political paintings, *The American People Series* from 1963 to 1967 and had her first and second one-person exhibitions at the Spectrum Gallery in New York. In the early 1970’s Ringgold began making tankas (inspired by a Tibetan art form of paintings framed in richly brocaded fabrics), soft sculptures and masks. She later utilized this medium in her masked performances of the 1970’s and 80’s. Although Faith Ringgold’s art was initially inspired by African art in the 1960’s, it was not until the late 1970’s that she traveled to Nigeria and Ghana to see the rich tradition of masks that have continued to be her greatest influence. She made her first quilt, *Echoes of Harlem*, in 1980, in collaboration with her mother, Madame Willi Posey. The quilts were an extension of her tankas from the 1970’s. However, these paintings were not only bordered with fabric but quilted, creating for her a unique way of painting using the quilt medium. Ringgold’s first story quilt *Who’s Afraid of Aunt Jemima?* was written in 1983 as a way of publishing her unedited words. The addition of text to her quilts has developed into a unique medium and style all her own. Crown Publishers published Faith Ringgold’s first book, the award winning *Tar Beach* in 1991. It has won over 20 awards including the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King award for the best-illustrated children’s book of 1991. An animated version with Natalie Cole as the voice over was created by HBO in 2010. The book is based on the story quilt of the same title from *The Woman on a Bridge Series*, 1988. The original painted story quilt, *Tar Beach*, is in the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Her second children’s book *Aunt Harriet’s Underground Railroad in the Sky* was published in 1992 by Crown. In 1993 Hyperion Books published *Dinner at Aunt Connie’s*, Ringgold’s third book based on *The Dinner Quilt*, 1986. Faith Ringgold’s autobiography and first book for an adult audience *We Flew Over the Bridge: The Memoirs of Faith Ringgold* (Bullfinch 1995; released in paperback by Duke University Press in 2005) as well as the children’s book *My Dream of Martin Luther King* were published. To date she has illustrated 17 children’s books. Faith’s most recent books are *Harlem Renaissance Party* (Harper Collins 2015) and *We Came to America* (Alfred A Knopf 2016). Faith Ringgold has been represented worldwide exclusively by [ACA Galleries](https://www.acagalleries.com/) since 1995. Bio from www.FaithRinggold.com.

The panel featured StudentNation writers [Ilana Cohen](https://www.thenation.com/authors/ilana-cohen/), [Aina Marzia](https://www.thenation.com/authors/aina-marzia/), and [Lara-Nour Walton](https://www.thenation.com/authors/lara-nour-walton/) and was moderated by Nation editor and publisher [Katrina vanden Heuvel](https://www.thenation.com/authors/katrina-vanden-heuvel/). It’s safe to say that the young journalists made a huge impression, and gave the audience good reason to feel hopeful. “Judging by the poise, intelligence and clear commitment of the three speakers, the future of media could be in far better shape than we think. The conversation was as riveting as it was inspiring as the speakers laid out their views on what would constitute a fair and just media system.”  -Peter Rothberg, Associate Publisher, *The Nation*. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Office Closure](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/2026/01/19/martin-luther-king-jr-day-office-closure/) **Published:** January 19, 2026 **Author:** Andrea Ortega **Content:** This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor and remember Dr. King and his vision for racial and economic justice.

This exhibition aims to raise awareness of the often-overlooked connection between environmental issues and the inequalities faced by marginalized communities. We hope to foster meaningful dialogue about how systemic prejudices shape environmental policies and movements. Featuring a curated selection of works, the show highlights voices and perspectives that are too often excluded, promoting inclusivity and celebrating the ongoing struggle for environmental justice. The exhibition opening was held on Friday, September 5th 2025. The show will be on view until November 9th, 2025.

With his photographs from Iowa, Frazier documented those individuals continuing to live traditional lives in rural communities across the state, people challenged economically but often unwavering in their conviction to stay. The project was awarded the Center for Documentary Studies/Honickman First Book Prize and was published in 2007. After completing the book (“Driftless”), Frazier directed and co-produced with MediaStorm an Emmy nominated documentary by the same name that confronts issues highlighted by his photographs. Frazier’s photographs are in public and private collections, including: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Philadelphia Museum of Art, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, Duke University’s special collections library, Honickman Foundation, and Smithsonian, National Museum of American History.

Please come early if you would like to take particular seats. - **If you are on the waitlist, please arrive 15 minutes before showtime or earlier. At this time, we will start letting in folks off the waitlist in the order that they were reserved.** - Reservations must be made by 5pm the Friday before the event. After this time, reservations are not guaranteed. ### Payment & Reservation Methods There are **two** ways our audience may reserve tickets. You will now be asked to provide payment upon making reservations: - **You may purchase tickets via the event’s page on our site.** - If you do so, you will have guaranteed seats the entire evening. You do not have to claim your tickets by 15 minutes before the show. - Please do not print out your tickets, it’s not necessary! We only use your name to find your ticket purchase and check you in. - **You may call us at [201-836-3499](tel:201-836-3499) to reserve or purchase tickets.** - If you call to make your reservations, we can either help you process your payment via our site, or you can let us know that you would like to pay the suggested donation via cash or check at the door. - If you choose to pay at the door, please note that **only** cash and checks are accepted. - If you happen to reach our Voicemail, please make sure to leave your name, the name of the event, the number of seats you’d like to reserve, and your phone number. We do not offer callbacks to confirm voicemail reservations. - **Please DO NOT double-reserve via phone and online tickets! Choose one method only.** - **Please DO NOT EMAIL US FOR RESERVATIONS**, unless you are seeking waived fees for tickets (see more below). Furthermore, **our previous email tix@puffinfoundation.org is defunct**. Please do not contact this email. ### Waived Suggested Donation Policy If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call [201-836-3499](tel:201-836-3499) or email <aortega@puffinfoundation.org> and we will assist you in making free reservation(s). ### About the Suggested Donation The Puffin Cultural Forum strives to bring you high quality, NYC-tier events without charging NYC prices. We do this by subsidizing ticket prices, but we still compensate performers well and cherish our reputation as one of the best venues to perform. We only request $10 as a suggested donation because we feel culture should be available to everyone. In almost all cases, the door receipts are given to the performers, so **please give as generously as possible so that we can keep the level of programming high and support professional performers trying to maintain their careers. If you would like to give more than the suggested donation, please do so via cash or check at the door.** **In order to combat no-show reservations that negatively affect performer payouts while taking away seats from other potentially interested audience members, we are now asking our patrons to kindly provide their suggested donation at the time they make their reservations, either via phone or online.** You may request to pay your donation via cash or check at the door. However, as a part of our commitment to making our shows as accessible as possible, waived-payment reservations will still be available for those in need. If for any reason you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call [201-836-3499](tel:201-836-3499) or email <aortega@puffinfoundation.org> and we will assist you in making free reservation(s). ### About Our Ticketing Distribution Given that the maximum capacity for our space is 85 people, we divide up 85 tickets per show in the following ways: - We make about 55 tickets available for purchase/reservations via Eventbrite. - We make about 20 tickets available for phone purchases/reservations. - We save about 10 tickets to offer to walk-ins as well as special invited guests. - The numbers above are not hard limits – they may slightly fluctuate based on reservation trends. This means that even though an event may appear sold out on our site, this does not mean the event is fully sold out! You may try to call us at [201-836-3499](tel:201-836-3499) to acquire phone reservations. If we *are* fully sold out of reservations: - You will be offered a spot on our waitlist – and per the interest in and availability of tickets from our walk-ins ticket reserve, you will have a guaranteed spot if you arrive on time. - If we expect all 10 tickets from the walk-ins ticket reserve to be claimed, you will still be offered a spot on our waitlist, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee your entry. - Please see our **reservation and waitlist policy** for more detailed instructions!

The Forum often hosts and features artists and performers who are Foundation grant recipients! ## Why the Puffin? The Puffin, once endangered in the northeastern United States, was returned to its native habitats through the efforts of a concerned citizenry. Our name is a metaphor for how we perceive our mission in the arts: to join with other concerned groups and individuals to ensure that the arts not merely survive, but flourish at all levels of our society. The Foundation’s grant search provides funds to hundreds of artists annually. You can find out more about those grants (and the application process) at[ puffinfoundation.org](https://www.puffinfoundation.org/). We also partner with numerous other organizations and institutions on special projects to bring the values of the Foundation to the public at large. --- ### [01 - Sample Page](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/01-sample-page/) **Published:** May 30, 2024 **Author:** the-puffin **Content:** Introduction.

Drawing inspiration from the rich legacy of artists such as Joan Baez, Tamra Hayden presents a curated selection of classic folk songs alongside her own compositions grounded in clarity of conscience and deep resonance with the song lover in all of us. Hayden is a celebrated vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose career spans Broadway, international touring, and an expansive body of original, heart-centered music. Raised in Colorado within a multigenerational musical family, Hayden developed an early, intuitive relationship with sound, learning multiple stringed instruments and beginning to write songs at age 10. Trained in viola and voice, she earned a degree in vocal performance before appearing on Broadway in Les Misérables and Cabaret, touring nationally in productions including The Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler on the Roof, and Anastasia, and performing with orchestras across the United States. Alongside her distinguished theater career, Hayden has released five solo albums generated from folk, cabaret, and Celtic traditions, and continues to create new work rooted in empathy, presence, and human connection. Her art is driven by her personal mantra of “peace, love, and hilarity.”](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/plugins/youtube-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png) 3 0 Folk Music with Tamra Hayden – 1/30/26 ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C24qeT6lNMs) Folk Music with Tamra Hayden – 1/30/26 Puffin Cultural Forum February 5, 2026 3:12 pm [ ![Deeply expressive and musically gifted young pianist Christina D.

One of her first sentences was “I have been buried under years of dust.” In a time when American health officials call into question the value and contributions of people with autism, Emily has the mic, and she’s got a lot to say. **Trailer:<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GisLdlCzQE&t=1s>** --- **PRICE:** $10 Online / $15 at Door (if seats remain) [**BUY TICKETS HERE!**](https://events.humanitix.com/2026-teaneck-international-film-festival) **See TIFF’s full schedule: <https://www.teaneckfilmfestival.org/film-rosters/2026-teaneck-international-film-festival-film-roster-anegh-wmahr>** --- ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/TIFF-2026-Poster-2.jpg) November 7 @ 10:00 am – 7:00 pm EST ### Details - Date: November 7 - Time: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm EST - Cost: N/A - Event Category: [Film](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/film/) - Website: <https://events.humanitix.com/2026-teaneck-international-film-festival> ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20261107T100000/20261107T190000&text=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/teaneck-international-film-festival-2026-pcf-screenings-nov-7/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-11-07T10%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2026-11-07T19%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-11-07T10%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2026-11-07T19%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/TIFF-2026-Poster-2.jpg) Date: Saturday, November 7 Time: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: N/A Website: <https://events.humanitix.com/2026-teaneck-international-film-festival> Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20261107T100000/20261107T190000&text=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/teaneck-international-film-festival-2026-pcf-screenings-nov-7/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-11-07T10%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2026-11-07T19%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-11-07T10%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2026-11-07T19%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%202026%20%28PCF%20Screenings%2C%20Nov.%207%29&body=) #### **OFFICIAL 2026 TIFF TRAILER** ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-14-at-115036-AM-scaled.jpg) Play ##### videoTextBlockModalblock\_8735ad9036602c45c2fa1cff4fabfb05Title × Your browser does not support the video tag.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll work with librarian Alexandra Blau to create your own charm bracelet inspired by books that have been banned or challenged throughout history. As you design your bracelet, Alexandra will share the history of book censorship in the U.S., from some of the earliest documented challenges to the surge of book bans in communities across the country in 2026.

Please join us for the exhibit opening on **Saturday, October 3rd. Viewing starts at 1:00PM, and the panel begins at 2:00PM**. The panel will be led by Curator, **Danny Wilcox Frazier**, and will include some of the featured photographers in the exhibit. **Snacks and refreshments will be provided!** **—** ***Gray Zones*** was inspired by the semiquincentennial of the United States, which feels less united with every passing day. Yet the reality is that all of us, whether we are urban or rural, queer or straight, born in the USA or elsewhere, share similar struggles, loves, hardships, and joys. The dominant narrative is invested in dividing us, in order to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the few while keeping the rest of us on the margins. This exhibition – an extraordinary collection of work by highly accomplished photographers – challenges viewers to reconsider traditional lines of division. It is an invitation to see ourselves in each other, regardless of race class, or other differences. It is a reminder that solidarity is not only possible but necessary if we are to continue as a nation. Curated by Danny Wilcox Frazier and featuring work by Nina Berman, Sheila Pree Bright, Danny Wilcox Frazier, Jordan Gale, Ron Haviv, Tyrel Iron Eyes, Brooklynn Kascel, Erin Kirkland, Zun Lee, Jon Lowenstein, Carlos Javier Ortiz. This exhibition features the work of contributing VII Foundation photographers and community members. The VII Foundation is committed to in-depth journalism on the most urgent issues of our time by empowering new voices through education — by training practitioners to document their own communities and global challenges, producing long-term projects that advocate change and illuminate solutions. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/INSTA-GrayZones_Final.jpg) October 3 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT ### Details - Date: October 3 - Time: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Exhibition Opening](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/exhibition-opening/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20261003T130000/20261003T160000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-gray-zones/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-10-03T13%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-10-03T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-10-03T13%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-10-03T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/INSTA-GrayZones_Final.jpg) Date: Saturday, October 3 Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20261003T130000/20261003T160000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-gray-zones/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-10-03T13%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-10-03T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-10-03T13%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-10-03T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Gray%20Zones&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

Through portraits, landscapes, botanical studies, environmental observations, and cultural documentation, the exhibition examines themes of identity, migration, memory, community, and humanity’s evolving relationship with the natural world. Known for her innovative use of Polaroid transfer, emulsion lifting, photo-weaving, collage, and hand-altered photographic processes, Banai transforms photographs into richly textured works that blur the boundaries between photography, painting, and sculpture. Her work invites viewers to look closely at the connections between people, place, and time while exploring the resilience and beauty found in both human and natural systems. Rachel Banai has exhibited internationally in more than fifty solo and group exhibitions across the United States, Israel, Russia, China, and Germany. A graduate of the International Center of Photography in New York City, she has received recognition from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and has inspired generations of artists through her work as an educator and mentor. Featuring works created over four decades, Light Has Its Own Time offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience Banai’s artistic vision in a single exhibition. **FREE The gallery is open Tuesday – Friday 11:00 am – 4:00 pm (except for holidays) or by appointment.  Please call (201) 836-3400 for an appointment or email culture@puffinfoundation.org.  The exhibit runs through August 7th.** ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/RachelBanai_Ofek2002-2-1.png) June 27 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT ### Details - Date: June 27 - Time: 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260627T150000/20260627T170000&text=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&details=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E+%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-tribe-tickets%22%3E%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-tribe-tickets-item%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/light-has-its-own-time/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-27T15%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-27T17%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&body=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-27T15%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-27T17%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&body=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/RachelBanai_Ofek2002-2-1.png) Date: Saturday, June 27 Time: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260627T150000/20260627T170000&text=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&details=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E+%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-tribe-tickets%22%3E%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-tribe-tickets-item%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/light-has-its-own-time/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-27T15%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-27T17%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&body=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-27T15%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-27T17%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Light%20Has%20Its%20Own%20Time&body=%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

Even if you think you know a lot about peregrines, prepare to be surprised! PLUS, as an added bonus, Jim will be displaying a racing-pigeon leg band that he retrieved from a peregrine pellet! *Booklist* magazine raves: *“Full of personal anecdotes from Wright’s many years as a nest monitor and hawk watcher and quotes from scientists and early naturalists and richly illustrated with beautiful color photos, this will be the peregrine primer for years to come.”* In addition to this go-to book on peregrine falcons, Jim Wright has written “*The Screech Owl Companion*,” “*The Real James Bond,” “The Nature of the Meadowlands,”* and several other books. He monitors nesting peregrines for the state of New Jersey in the spring, coordinates the State Line Hawk Watch in the fall, and writes a birding column for *“The Record”* in Northern New Jersey every two weeks. He is a deputy marsh warden at the Celery Farm Nature Preserve in Allendale. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jim-Wright-IG-Flyer.jpg) June 14 @ 4:00 pm ### Details - Date: June 14 - Time: 4:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free - Event Categories: [Literary Arts](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/literary-arts/), [Talk](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/talk/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260614T160000/20260614T160000&text=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20%26%238211%3B%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/fierce-and-fast-the-peregrine-falcon-a-book-talk-by-jim-wright/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20-%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20-%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Jim-Wright-IG-Flyer.jpg) Date: Sunday, June 14 Time: 4:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260614T160000/20260614T160000&text=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20%26%238211%3B%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/fierce-and-fast-the-peregrine-falcon-a-book-talk-by-jim-wright/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20-%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-06-14T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Fierce%20and%20Fast%21%20The%20Peregrine%20Falcon%20-%20A%20Book%20Talk%20by%20Jim%20Wright&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

After witnessing the police shooting of her childhood friend Khalil, Starr struggles to find her voice while speaking out against injustice. The film explores race, activism, family, and the power of using your voice to create change. **Content warning:** This film depicts police brutality, gun violence, and racial violence. Following the screening, there will be a community discussion focused on identity, social justice, youth voice, and community impact. The moderators of the TalkBack are both Teaneck High School graduates and community leaders. The committee’s goal is to bring youth out for this important film because many of the themes are relatable to what young people experience and discuss today.

Miss Davis is Back! And more relevant than ever. The show brings to life the uncompromising story of one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars. From headline-making romances with William Wyler and Howard Hughes to her infamous Oscar upset and fearless battles against the male-dominated studio system, Davis’ story is one of  ambition and defiance. This updated performance also highlights Davis’ role as a trailblazer in standing up to the studio system and helping pave the way for stronger protections and rights for artists. On-screen, she portrayed complex, unapologetic women; off-screen, she fought for equal pay, creative control, and longevity in an industry that often denied women all three. By turns humorous and deeply moving, Bette Davis Ain’t for Sissies captures the enduring legacy of a woman who refused to be silenced. Fasten your seatbelts—it’s going to be a bumpy ride. – **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Pianist and composer **Jake Hart** will be performing an excerpt from his latest solo piano composition, a continuation of a project titled *Collage,* by memory. The piece utilizes creative borrowing from a multitude of different composers and gives the listener the feeling that the music is completely improvised. Following Jake Hart’s solo piano performance, jazz guitarist **John Hart** will perform standards and original music with his trio, featuring **Bill Moring** on bass and **Andy Watson** on drums. The evening’s program will feature selections from his latest album *New Mantra,* released last year under SteepleChase Records. The project marks John’s 17th album as leader. **Jake Hart** is a pianist and composer signed with Sunnyside Records, which released his debut album *Collage* in 2024. The album received praise in *Los Angeles Jazz Scene,* where Scott Yanow wrote about how “the two Parts sound spontaneous and bridge the gap between modern classical music and jazz.” In addition, Jake has also participated in a multitude of international competitions and has performed at notable venues including Birdland Jazz Club, Mezzrow and the Umbria Jazz Festival. A fixture on the New York music scene for 40 years, **John Hart** has distinguished himself as a band leader with 17 CDs (including releases on such prestigious labels as *Blue Note* and *Concord*) as well as a first-call sideman to the stars, including a sixteen-year tenure with organist Jack McDuff. Other associations include Lou Donaldson, James Moody, Jon Hendricks, Jimmy Smith, Brian Blade, Chris Potter, Larry Goldings, Bob Belden, Rick Margitza, Javon Jackson and the Maria Schneider Orchestra. A prolific recording artist, John has appeared on 100-plus CDs as a sideman. **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 6/4 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Pianist **Daniel Epstein** was the first American pianist to perform the “Yellow River Concerto,” a product of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in 1973. He has established a career which includes performances with major symphony orchestras, solo recitals, and chamber music. He is a founding member of the *Raphael Trio*. Violinist **Kae Nakano**, as a college student, won third prize in the Romania International Music Competition. She has since established an active career which includes participation in major international music festivals, performing with such superluminaries as Marta Argerich, Seijo Ozawa, and Vadim Repin. She is an active chamber music performer and member of the Albany Symphony. Cellist **Benjamin Larsen** made his solo debut in 1999 at the Merryall Center for the Arts, where a critic for the *Danbury News Times* called him “remarkably gifted” with “a charming, warm tone.” He has performed concerti with the Hartford Symphony, Farmington Valley Symphony, and Musica Dolce Ensemble, and has also performed solo and chamber performances in Asia and Europe. He is the founder and artistic director of *Concerts on the Slope* in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and maintains an active career as soloist and chamber musician. – **Suggested Donation: $10** **BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

The best way to honor his memory is to sing and organize against fascism and in support of peace, civil rights, and the environment, and that is exactly what we will do. Join us on Sunday, May 17th at 4:00PM on the lawn of the Puffin Cultural Forum, where the Solidarity Singers of the New Jersey State Industrial Union Council will lead us in song in front of our [Pete Seeger statue](https://www.puffinfoundation.org/pete-seeger-statue/). The event will be recorded. Food and refreshments will be served. Event will be moved indoors in event of rain. [The Solidarity Singers of the NJ IUC](https://solidaritysingers.org) are a street chorus, not a concert choir. For nearly thirty years, they have appeared at rallies, picket lines, demonstrations, and meetings for progressive causes throughout New Jersey and beyond. Their motto says it all: *“Only a few of us know how to read music, but we all know which side we are on.”* They lift the spirits of people engaged in struggle and help them carry on. On the 17th, we will all become Solidarity Singers. We will sing new and old songs, some from Pete’s own repertoire and some newly created. Song sheets will be distributed.

Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or an appreciator of nature photography, please join us for the exhibit opening on **Friday, May 1st. Viewing starts at 3:00PM, and the panel begins at 7:00PM**. The panel will be led by President of the Bergen County Audubon Society, **Don Torino**, and will include some of the featured photographers in the exhibit. They will be discussing our local raptor species and Teaneck’s position on a very important avian migration route. **Snacks and refreshments will be provided!** **—** In partnership with the [Bergen County Audubon Society](https://bergencountyaudubon.org/), and the [Teaneck Creek Conservancy](https://www.teaneckcreek.org/), the [Puffin Cultural Forum](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/) presents a photography exhibition celebrating the remarkable birds of prey that inhabit, hunt, and migrate through the landscape of New Jersey. The exhibition brings together the work of New Jersey-based photographers whose patience, skill, and deep knowledge of the natural world have yielded extraordinary images of the predators that fly in our skies. New Jersey sits at a critical juncture on the Atlantic Flyway, one of North America’s great migratory corridors. From the broad tidal marshes of the Meadowlands to the forested ridgelines of the Highlands, from the barrier beaches of the Shore to the urban canyons of its cities, New Jersey supports a remarkable diversity of raptors across all four seasons. This exhibition invites visitors to see that world through the eyes of the photographers who know it best. This exhibition is the brainchild of Don Torino, the Bergen County Audubon Society (BCAS) President, who brings a lifetime of field expertise and conservation advocacy to this collaboration. The BCAS and their passionate members include many of the photographers featured in the exhibition. Educational text developed in partnership with the BCAS will accompany the exhibition, giving knowledge and understanding of the species represented in the exhibition to the broader community and audiences. Featured photographers include Jim Wright, James Lignal, James Falletti, Alon Feder, Linda Antenucci, Dee De Santis, & Don Torino. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** ![Poster for 'Raptors Along the Flyway' photography exhibit; May 1, 2026, 3 PM viewing, 7 PM panel; RSVP at puffinculturalforum.org.](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Raptors-Along-the-Flyway-Insta-flyer-V2.jpg) May 1 @ 7:00 pm ### Details - Date: May 1 - Time: 7:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Exhibition Opening](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/exhibition-opening/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260501T190000/20260501T190000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-raptors-along-the-flyway/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&body=) ![Poster for 'Raptors Along the Flyway' photography exhibit; May 1, 2026, 3 PM viewing, 7 PM panel; RSVP at puffinculturalforum.org.](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Raptors-Along-the-Flyway-Insta-flyer-V2.jpg) Date: Friday, May 1 Time: 7:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20260501T190000/20260501T190000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-raptors-along-the-flyway/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2026-05-01T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Raptors%20Along%20the%20Flyway&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

The program includes music from Baratta’s successful 35-year film soundtrack career, as well as 60s iconic rock classics, original compositions, and music from their upcoming album *ANOTHER KIND OF BIRD: Reimagining Charlie Parker*, where Baratta interprets Parker classics through a Latin, jazz, and rock lens. With a knack for good arrangement, Gotham City Quintet excels at taking familiar songs and giving them a fresh, original spin with a funky Latin Jazz feel. Rooted in traditional jazz but expanding into all musical idioms, the band leaves a lasting impression wherever it performs. Each musician has been a leader in his own career, and collectively they synthesize into a unique musical experience. Do yourself a favor and check out this raucous, good-time, feel-good band! **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 5/7 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

The comic irony of Korngold’s *Much Ado About Nothing*, Schumann’s erratic *Märchenbilder*, and Lalo’s wild *Arlequin* conjure up images of an ensemble of stock characters, fairy tales, and fantasies. Behind these masks of performance lie the dreamy, introspective musings of Debussy, Chausson, and Reinecke, a sharp contrast to their extroverted counterparts, and a window into the source of creativity. As a whole, these works weave together a vivid tapestry of humor, performativity, and poetry. **Samuel Gray** is a New York-based violinist, violist, and music contractor. In his performance career, Sam has shared the stage with many great artists of our time, including Cyndi Lauper, Mariah Carey, Darren Criss, Titus Burgess, Alex Newell, Billy Eichner, and Kate Baldwin. A fervent believer that music is healing to the soul, he produces intimate chamber music performances around New York City. Sam performs on a 2014 Samuel Zygmuntowicz violin generously on loan from Jay and Michiko Jones. **Benjamin T. Nylander** is a composer and pianist living in Brooklyn. His work includes collaborations on various film and theatre projects, a contemporary classical album performed with saxophonist Joshua Heaney, and an international debut in Harbin, China for the 2025 World Saxophone Congress. Most notably, Nylander performs with violinist Samuel Gray, with whom he founded the Hamilton-Hudson Chamber Music Academy in 2025. Nylander can regularly be found working as repetiteur for various opera studios in New York City. He teaches a large private studio of his own piano, composition, and theory students throughout the greater metropolitan area and beyond. – **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 4/23 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

The reading will be followed by a facilitated communal discussion with invited panelists, focused on the themes of the play and their resonance in the current social and political climate.** **Content Advisory:** This staged reading includes references to police violence, racial injustice, and traumatic loss. Although minimally staged, the material contains emotionally intense content that may be distressing for some viewers. **Synopsis:** *In Equal Measure* is more than a visceral thriller; it is a mirror held up to a fractured society. When a law-abiding Black teenager is killed by police and the officer is exonerated, the victim’s father makes a harrowing choice to trade his humanity for a receipt in blood. In his pursuit of “an eye for an eye,” he discovers that vengeance is a debt his heart cannot fully repay. As the line between justice and retribution collapses, the story forces us to confront a haunting reality: when the systems meant to protect us fail, who truly bears the cost? This provocative drama examines one man’s descent into violence and the systemic failures that make his choices legible. It is a stark exploration of accountability, communal grief, and the devastating consequences that ripple when harm goes unrepaired. **–** **Derek W.

He will be joined by two exceptional German musicians: **Peter Weniger** on tenor saxophone and **Jonas Burgwinkel** on drums. The trio’s debut album *Gravity* (2023, Laika Records) was celebrated internationally; the legendary *Down Beat Magazine* drew comparisons to Sonny Rollins’ legendary *Way Out West.* Their special guest will be pianist **Glenn Zaleski**, who’s been one of the rising stars of the international jazz scene over the past years, playing with saxophonist Melissa Aldena and vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, among others. Born in Flensburg, Germany, Martin Wind is among the most accomplished German jazz musicians working in the United States today. Known for his warm tone, lyrical phrasing, and stylistic breadth, Wind is equally active as a soloist, composer, and sought-after sideman. He has performed and recorded with artists such as Mstislav Rostropovich, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Ken Peplowski, Anat Cohen, Philip Catherine, Michael Brecker, Ann Hampton Callaway, and Sting, and has contributed to numerous film soundtracks including *True Grit, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,* and *Gemini* *Man.* As member of the Kennedy Center Honors Orchestra, he has also appeared with world stars Aretha Franklin, John Legend, James Taylor, Reneé Fleming, and Herbie Hancock. As leader and co-leader, Wind has released more than 30 albums, among them *Turn Out the Stars* *– Music Written or Inspired by Bill Evans* (2014), *My Astorian Queen* (2021), and *New York Bass Quartet – Air* (2022), which DB Magazine heralded as “a bass manifesto.” Wind has received numerous honors, including the Cultural Award of Schleswig-Holstein, the Cognac Hennessy/Blue Note Jazz Award, and a top placement at the 1995 Thelonious Monk Bass Competition in Washington, D.C. **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 4/9 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Educational and poetic, the book documents Torino’s upbringing in the wetlands area of northern New Jersey, which lies along the Atlantic Flyway, a major migration route for millions of birds. The Meadowlands have been subject to destruction for a few centuries. But in recent years, some small sections of it have been rehabilitated. Torino says: “Growing up in the Meadowlands was special. It is a time long gone, that can never be relived again. We will talk about what it was like and how it forever guided my life to this day, as president of Bergen County Audubon Society. We grew up with nature all around us… there were still farm stands and horse stables, and fishermen, trappers, and hunters were part of the culture. We were in a different world, almost isolated – and although I did not realize it at the time, it was a very special place to grow up.” *Life in the Meadowlands* offers insightful views of how each of us impact our world and reminds us of the beauty around us. No matter where you live, this book will inspire you to take a closer look at the natural world around you and to take better care of it. Torino is a sage and tireless environmental leader, naturalist, speaker, and advocate for wildlife and conservation, particularly within the Meadowlands area. As President of Bergen County Audubon Society, he helps educate the public on the importance of native plants and wildlife habitats.

Drawing inspiration from the rich legacy of artists such as Joan Baez, Tamra Hayden presents a curated selection of classic folk songs alongside her own compositions grounded in clarity of conscience and deep resonance with the song lover in all of us. Hayden is a celebrated vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose career spans Broadway, international touring, and an expansive body of original, heart-centered music. Raised in Colorado within a multigenerational musical family, Hayden developed an early, intuitive relationship with sound, learning multiple stringed instruments and beginning to write songs at age 10. Trained in viola and voice, she earned a degree in vocal performance before appearing on Broadway in *Les Misérables* and *Cabaret*, touring nationally in productions including *The Phantom of the Opera*, *Fiddler on the Roof*, and *Anastasia*, and performing with orchestras across the United States.

Everyone who sings along with them is an honorary Solidarity Singer. Long after this event, they hope you will keep the song sheet and continue to sing these songs as you work to advance progressive causes. As Pete Seeger used to say, “a singing movement is a winning movement.” The Solidarity Singers are a street chorus, not a concert choir. For over thirty years, they have made countless appearances on picket lines and rallies for labor, the environment, peace, and justice. They strive to lift the spirits of people engaged in struggle and to help them carry on. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs 12/4 at 5PM)* ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Solidarity-Singers-of-NJ-Insta-flier.jpg) December 7, 2025 @ 4:00 pm ### Details - Date: December 7, 2025 - Time: 4:00 pm EST - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Vocal Concert](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/vocal-concert/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20251207T160000/20251207T160000&text=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/solidarity-singers-of-nj-a-holiday-anti-fascist-sing-along/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Solidarity-Singers-of-NJ-Insta-flier.jpg) Date: Sunday, December 7 Time: 4:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20251207T160000/20251207T160000&text=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/solidarity-singers-of-nj-a-holiday-anti-fascist-sing-along/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&enddt=2025-12-07T16%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Solidarity%20Singers%20of%20NJ%3A%20A%20Holiday%20Anti-Fascist%20Sing-Along%21&body=) ### “ALL YOU FASCISTS ARE BOUND TO LOSE” ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-24-at-73347-PM-scaled.png) Play ##### videoTextBlockModalblock\_11ef69dcadb37af8d8863b9dbe6e0946Title × Your browser does not support the video tag.

Joined by **Steve Wilson** on alto & soprano saxophone, **Jim Ridl** on piano, and **Noriko Ueda** on bass, the duo will be playing through the suite of their original compositions on the album, plus a bonus song written by their friend, the esteemed late guitarist Vic Juris. This record marks Tim’s third studio album as a leader and Allan’s first, born out of years of mentorship, fellowship, and shared performances. From Allan’s time in Tim’s college ensembles to their work together across the NYC metropolitan scene, the duo has built a musical partnership that balances individuality with unity. *Moving Forward* highlights both artists’ distinct voices while embracing a shared vision that pushes the genre ahead. A Virginia native and graduate of Berklee College of Music, Tim Horner has played at major venues such as The Village Vanguard, Birdland, The Blue Note, Lincoln Center, and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Additionally, he has worked with a wide range of artists across jazz history, including Hank Jones, Clifford Jordan, Pepper Adams, Joe Locke, Randy Brecker, Vic Juris, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, The Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra, Frank Kimbrough, Roseanna Vitro, Ann Hampton Calloway, Mark Murphy, Joe Williams, Dick Oatts, Red Rodney, Mark Sherman, Ted Rosenthal, Bill Cunliffe, and Rufus Reid. Horner has over 250 recordings as a sideman and 3 albums as a bandleader. He has served as Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department five times, performing and teaching the genre in over 20 countries. Allan Bezama is a New York City-based jazz guitarist whose sound seamlessly blends fluid bebop lines, rich harmonic textures, and a modern rhythmic sensibility to create an expressive and forward-thinking voice. He is recognized as a rising star in the New York City jazz scene, as highlighted in an article on Jazzfuel.com. He has performed with luminaries such as Jeff “Tain” Watts, Mark Whitfield, Glen David Andrews, John Benitez, Steve LaSpina, Ari Roland, Paul Gill, and Stacy Dillard, and has played at notable venues such as Smalls Jazz Club, The Deer Head Inn, The Django, Minton’s Playhouse, Arthur’s Tavern, 55 Bar, Brvsh Cul7ur3, Club Groove, and Room 623.

He will be joined by the superlative talents of **Mike Richmond** on bass, **Steve Johns** on drums, and special guest **Brad Goode** on trumpet in a program that is bound to engage both the seasoned jazz listener and any music enthusiast. Come by for a swinging and communicative evening of jazz! On *PEACE VIBES*, Thierry De Clemensat of *[Paris Move](https://www.paris-move.com/)* writes: “…this album, steeped in bebop accents and marked by an exceptional attention to detail in its compositions, cannot leave any listener indifferent. The New York \[vibraphonist’s\] perfectly measured playing heightens the beauty of the works, lending them both poise and depth.” Piltzecker has eclectic musical interests. He has performed at jazz and percussion festivals and clubs around the globe, and has engaged with many musical cultures. His seven albums as a leader have been critically acclaimed and influential in both the percussion and jazz worlds. **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 12/11 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Blending heartfelt original songs about hope, healing, and resilience with timeless **classic pop hits**, the evening is sure to be both inspiring and electrifying. Join us in listening to Andrew’s powerful journey of recovery through music! After becoming sober in early 2024, Greenspan became inspired to write music about his journey. Recording, performing, producing, mixing, and mastering the songs all on his own over the span of eight months, the result was *Livin’ Rough, Hangin’ Tough*. Through his music, he hopes to offer healing to those in pain, and to show that with hope, everyone can learn to “live rough and hang tough!” **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 11/13 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Enjoy an evening of Garnett’s unique original compositions, rounded out with a selection of jazz standards, bluegrass and fiddle tunes, classical pieces, and pop songs. In *Kite’s Keep*, Garnett reimagines the acoustic guitar not as a lead voice, but as a cinematic landscape—an evocative space where fiddle, bass, and ensemble interplay bring guitar-born ideas to new life. With a dream team of acoustic virtuosos and a composer’s eye for drama and narrative, Garnett crafts songs that feel like short films—shifting fluidly from folk to bluegrass, pop to jazz, classical to avant-garde. For listeners ready to explore the guitar’s untapped world-building power, *Kite’s Keep* is an invitation to lean in and look again. “You think you’ve heard it all until a Ben Garnett comes along to show us how much more there might be.” **— PREMIER GUITAR** “Garnett has a beautiful, curious, deep mind.” **— CHRIS ELDRIDGE (PUNCH BROTHERS)** **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 10/16 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Accompanied by violinist **Sameth Sitaram** and percussionist **Prakash Rao** playing an Indian drum called the **Mridangam**, the duo will perform pieces full of gods, stories, and chants rooted in devotion and mythology, and gradually move towards compositions that express inner experience, human relationships, and the soul’s quest for freedom. Through this arc, Rasā Arts hopes to show how classical forms are not rigid containers, but living traditions that evolve, expand, and ultimately liberate both artist and audience. Additionally, they hope to demonstrate how divinity is not just an external presence to be worshipped, but an inner force that fuels resilience, equity, transformation, and joy. Rasā Arts is a collaboration between Carnatic vocalist **Radhika Krishnaraj** and Bharatanatyam dancer **Sneha Ramachandran**, bringing South Indian classical music and dance to life through soulful, immersive performances. Rooted in tradition and shaped for today’s audiences, Rasā Arts aims to share the beauty of these timeless art forms with the world. In addition to performances, Rasā Arts offers classes for students of all levels, nurturing the next generation of musicians and dancers. **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 10/30 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Smith LGBT resource center is Asbury Park NJ’s #1 destination for queers in crisis. Services include HIV/STD testing, family planning options, and unsolicited relationship advice. This is all thanks to the tireless efforts of managing director and HBIC (head bear in charge) Harvey Mitchell, who dreams of transforming his humble facility into an epicenter of local LGBT culture.

Starring **Caryn Hartglass** and **Leonard Lehrman**, the musical features the life of radical Russian-Jewish-American anarchist and author **Emma Goldman** (1869-1940). Her famous quote, “If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution,” became a worldwide cry for liberation in the fight against tyranny. She was called “the most dangerous woman in America” by J. Edgar Hoover, who proudly deported her to Russia in 1919. She returned to the U.S. in 1934, and the musical follows her struggle to obtain a visa. In this time of encroaching fascism, the question the musical asks is relevant again: is America ready for Emma Goldman, and her fight for “free speech, free motherhood, and freedom from war”? *Music by Leonard Lehrman* *Words by Leonard Lehrman & Karen Ruoff Kramer* **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 10/23 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

We follow Delaney as she finds herself at a loss on how to help her own teens as they struggle with their emotional wellbeing. Ruston sets out to understand these challenges in our current screen-filled society, and how we as parents and schools empower teens to overcome mental health challenges and build emotional agility, communication savvy, and stress resilience. **TRAILER:** <https://vimeo.com/357620460> ##### **3:00pm** ##### **Trespass (60 min)** *Documentary* *Directed by Kim Watson* *Sponsored by Center for Food Action; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter* Drawn from the personal relationships filmmaker Kim Watson has developed with his subjects, *Trespass* is a feature-length documentary about the homeless and the circumstances that led them to the streets, the exceptional challenges, and the occasional successes which they navigate daily. You will observe the individuals and organizations that attempt to help them, and how the human apathy that so demeans homeless people, combined with the profiteers and power-structures that criminalize them, keeps them on the streets. **TRAILER:** <https://youtu.be/ct2vWN_aEsE> #### **Sunday, November 9, 2025** ##### **12:30pm** ##### Plastic People (84 min) *Documentary* *Directed by Ben Addelman & Ziya Tong* *Sponsored by the Teaneck Creek Conservancy* The ground-breaking feature documentary investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment. Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it? **TRAILER:** <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhOgnzuYkLM> ##### **3:00pm** ##### Vigilantes Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen (78 min) *Documentary* *Directed by David Ambrose* *Sponsored by The Martin Luther King Birthday Committee; League of Women Voters of Teaneck* *Talkback with Greg Palast* Greg Palast and his investigations team bust the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet. The film centers on a terrible new threat this year to the right to vote: “vigilante” challenges by self-appointed vote-fraud hunters, not government officials, who are targeting well over one million voters to challenge and block the counting of their ballots. Most suspiciously, the vast majority of vigilante targets are young voters and voters of color. Narrated by Rosario Dawson with a forward by Martin Sheen. **TRAILER:** <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk0brD_XV9g> ##### **5:30pm** ##### Home: Two (HU)Men, Silent Force, Your Silence is Loud Cecilia (60 min) *Dance* **NJ Premiere!** Curated and created by interdisciplinary artist Sagí Amir Gros, *Home* is a poetic program of short films and performance exploring the fragile and powerful idea of home as memory, body, culture, and longing.

The program includes a suite of original compositions about longing for peace and life without fear of the “other,” aggression, war, or loss. The pieces explore war not only as a conventional battle with weapons, but also as an internal state that is motivated by fear and feeds inner prejudice, suspicion and hostility. By weaving together Eastern and Western impressions and cultural influence, Feathery Quartet creates sound poems where East and West embrace. **Feathery Quartet**–featuring **Lena Bloch** on saxophone, **Russ Lossing** on piano, **Cameron Brown** on bass, and **Billy Mintz** on drums–draws its inspiration from diverse musical traditions including modern classical music, Middle-Eastern music, Eastern-European music, and post-1960’s jazz. The name “Feathery” suggests lightness, flexibility, readiness to drift in new directions – like a feather in the wind. Formed in 2014, the quartet has developed a unique sound and only performs original material. The ensemble is immigrant and woman-fronted, and consists of three generations of jazz musicians who have worked with bandleaders such as Paul Motian, Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Joe Lovano, Charles Lloyd, Danny Richmond, and Don Pullen. “It is music about life, a continuous suite of dances and narratives, the voice of someone telling her and their story, arrestingly and thoughtfully. You cannot ask for more in music.” **– BRIAN MORTON, BBC, JAZZ JOURNAL** **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 10/2 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Hannah Selin, Brooklyn-based composer of *Tributaries II*, will be present to discuss her piece. *Tributaries II* explodes a characteristic melody into a constellation of musical ideas. The tributaries’ overlapping and intersecting harmonic clouds weave together an expanding and deepening musical world that culminates with the river’s outlet into the New York Bay and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, the evening’s program will include works by Randall Woolf and Supové herself that depict cycles of nature and how they resonate with us. Pianist Kathleen Supové has premiered, promoted, and recorded works by a who’s who of today’s composers, both established and emerging. She annually presents a series of solo concerts entitled *THE EXPLODING PIANO*. She has performed with computerized pianos, video, poets, laptop orchestras, robots, and XReality. To date, Ms. Supové has 5 solo albums: *Figure 88*, *Infusion*, *The Exploding Piano*, *The Debussy Effect*, and *Eye To Ivory*. “What Ms. Supové is really exploding is the piano recital as we have known it, a mission more radical and arguably more needed.” **— THE NEW YORK TIMES** **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 9/25 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

The performance draws from his years of travel, study, and collaboration in Colombia — including time with the late maestro Diego Obregón — and his continued work as a composer in New York City. Over the past four years, Dan’s voice has evolved through a blend of jazz harmony, Afro-Colombian rhythm, and the spirit of the American Songbook, filtered through his California roots. The result is a bold set of original compositions and rich arrangements shaped by lived experience across cultures. A key part of this journey is Dan’s collaboration with featured Colombian vocalist **Xiomara Torres**, whose voice and deep ties to Pacific Coast tradition bring this music to life with authenticity and soul. Their collaboration led to Torres’ debut album, La Voz Del Mar which was considered “*…a scintillating work…*” (Downbeat Nov. 22) and “*…a great performance, a five-star performance.*” – Jason Marsalis (Downbeat Blindfold Test Jan. 2023) You will hear airs like currulao, aguabajo, juga, and abozao, paired with intricate horn arrangements and interpreted by some of New York’s finest jazz musicians. This project reflects the multicultural energy of New York—where folklore, improvisation, and innovation coexist—and presents Afro-Colombian music in a new, elevated form. **Suggested Donation: $10 BUY TICKETS BELOW, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 9/18 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

This seldom-heard complete cycle captures the romantic passion and dramatic intensity of Goya’s tapestry designs through Granados’ deeply expressive musical language. This Forum performance represents a special preview of the same repertoire that Charlotte will record for PENTATONE in the Netherlands, offering audiences an intimate opportunity to experience her interpretation before it reaches the international recording stage. The performance will be enhanced by Charlotte’s personal commentary and insights, offering audiences both musical artistry and educational context for this remarkable work that bridges visual art and musical expression.

The book conveys memorable stories of soldiers transformed into peace activists, offering creative responses to seemingly endless wars and threats of war. The evening features poetry readings by veteran poets and activists **Jan Barry, Tara Krause, Walt Nygard, James Yee**, and others; music by the **Solidarity Singers**; and a display of artwork by veterans affiliated with Frontline Arts, including Barry, Erickson, Krause, Nygard, and Yee. A Teaneck resident and retired *Bergen Record* reporter, Jan Barry is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and prose, including *Waging Art: Tackling Grief and Trauma with Creative Arts*. A U.S. Army veteran who resigned from West Point to pursue writing and peace activism, Barry has served as New Jersey coordinator for the Warrior Writers project and as Poet Laureate for Veterans For Peace. His work has been presented at the Dodge Poetry Festival, the New York Poetry Festival, and the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs 9/25 at 5PM)* ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Book-release-Waging-Peace-Insta-flyer.jpg) September 26, 2025 @ 7:00 pm ### Details - Date: September 26, 2025 - Time: 7:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Literary Arts](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/literary-arts/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20250926T190000/20250926T190000&text=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/book-release-waging-peace/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Book-release-Waging-Peace-Insta-flyer.jpg) Date: Friday, September 26 Time: 7:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20250926T190000/20250926T190000&text=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/book-release-waging-peace/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-26T19%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Book%20Release%3A%20Waging%20Peace&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

Featuring a curated selection of works, the show highlights voices and perspectives that are too often excluded, promoting inclusivity and celebrating the ongoing struggle for environmental justice. **FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs 9/4 at 5PM)* ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Enviro-for-All-insta-flyer.jpg) September 5, 2025 @ 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT ### Details - Date: September 5, 2025 - Time: 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Exhibition Opening](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/exhibition-opening/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20250905T160000/20250905T210000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-environmentalism-for-all/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-05T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-05T21%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-05T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-05T21%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Enviro-for-All-insta-flyer.jpg) Date: Friday, September 5 Time: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20250905T160000/20250905T210000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-environmentalism-for-all/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-05T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-05T21%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2025-09-05T16%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&enddt=2025-09-05T21%3A00%3A00-04%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20Environmentalism%20for%20All&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

Additionally, there will be an opportunity to hear some selections from his upcoming album “AAPI Jazz Collective,” releasing in July on Origin Records.

Since then, he has become an integral part of the scene, sharing the stage with renowned artists including Ron Carter, Slide Hampton, Winard Harper, Charli Persip, Jerry Weldon, George Cables, Valerie Ponomarev, JD Allen, Josh Evans, and Radam Schwartz. He also studied with trombone masters Slide Hampton, Steve Turre, Conrad Herwig, Robin Eubanks, Steve Davis, and Frank Lacy. He continues to perform at established venues in the tri-state area such as Carnegie Hall, NJPAC, Blue Note, Dizzy’s, Birdland, Smalls, and Zinc Bar.

From her headline-making affairs with **William Wyler** and **Howard Hughes** and four failed marriages to the shocking upset she suffered at the 1939 Academy Awards and her relentless fight for equality against the male-dominated studio system in Hollywood, Davis’ incredible story of resilience continues to be relevant even in today’s world. On-screen, Davis was an iconic actress known for playing strong, unapologetic and complex women. Off-screen, Davis was a fiery spirit and a fearless activist who fought tirelessly for women’s rights—including equal pay—and fought *against* ageism and sexism in Hollywood.

The trio takes influence from a wide variety of musical styles that are a part of Teubal’s cultural background: Latin American folk, chamber, tango, jazz, free improvisation, classical music, and some hints of Middle Eastern music. Teubal is joined by **Ivan Barenboim** on clarinet and **Federico Diaz** on guitar. The trio’s first record “Memorias de Otro Tiempo” (memories from another time) was chosen as Best Jazz on Bandcamp of the month. *“Though the talent pool of modern-day jazz is deep, the New York-based, Argentine pianist Emilio Teubal consistently rises to the top…Guitarist Federico Diaz and clarinetist Ivan Barenboim are locked into Teubal’s vision, nimbly circling Teubal’s melodic lines on the album’s title track while expanding its rhythmic impact. The trio’s heartfelt melodic embrace on ‘April 7th’ is a poignant example of their shared instincts and sensibilities. It will also be the most beautiful thing you hear all month.”* — David Sumner, Bandcamp Daily Outside of the trio, Teubal has performed in some of the most prestigious venues and theaters in the United States such as The Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Symphony Space, The Blue Note, Birdland, Le Poisson Rouge, and Joe’s Pub. **Suggested Donation: $10 RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 4/24 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Seriously – polyester suits and gaudy ballgowns encouraged! La Banda Chuska’s sound is an inviting mélange in which the infectious rhythms of Peruvian psychedelic cumbia collide with reverb-drenched surf guitars and post-punk energy. With a relentless drive and an irreverent spirit, La Banda Chuska crafts a vibrant sonic landscape that is as exhilarating as it is unpredictable.  Their eclectic mix of party-ready beats and performance art charm – including a surreal synth baby that tours with the band – has earned them comparisons to a tropical version of the B-52s. With their first EP and several impressive performances already under their belt, including Lincoln Center, Symphony Space, Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Museum, and Bahidora Festival, La Banda Chuska are excited to release their first full-length LP in May 2025. The band features **Felipe Wurst** and **Sam Day Harmet** on guitars, **Adele Fournet** on organ and vocals, **Erica Mancini** on accordion and vocals, **Abe Pollack** on bass, and **Jordan Auber** on drums. **Suggested Donation: $10 RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 3/27 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Dion’s unique sound blends straight-ahead jazz, bebop, blues, and contemporary improvisation, with subtle influences from Italian traditional music. Leading a talented, international band—featuring Daniel Berkey on saxophone, Tommaso Perazzo on organ, and Marcello Cardillo on drums—this performance promises a culturally rich experience for jazz lovers. Born in Campobasso, Italy, and raised in Megara, Greece, Dion has become a highly sought-after guitarist, performing at renowned venues like Blue Note, Birdland, and Lincoln Center. His previous albums have earned accolades from jazz legends, including Ron Carter, who wrote the liner notes for Dion’s album *Dig!.* Dion’s new album will be featured in the March 2025 issue of *DownBeat* Magazine. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 3/6 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to ask for free reservation(s).

Come witness a performer who has been celebrated for his “delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed” style (Acoustic Guitar magazine), and for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald). Tsukamoto, an alumnus of Berklee College of Music, has been recognized for his talents on stages such as Blue Note in New York City, Japanese National Television (NHK), International Storytelling Center, and United Nations.

Garbin’s music is a captivating blend of intricate rhythms, rich harmonies, and emotive storytelling with diverse influences. The title track features Garbin’s sitar—an instrument he fell in love with after a trip to India—which replaces his guitar and brings a fresh, organic sound to the jazz quintet. The rest of the program spans a wide range of musical styles, from the Latin and African grooves in “Rolling Hills” to the Brazilian and Cuban influences of “Simi’s Bossa” and “Anomisericordo.” Garbin also explores smooth-jazz funk in “DSD” and pays tribute to Joe Satriani in “Almost Forgotten – Like Satch.” The atmospheric “Into the Sunset,” with its Pat Metheny-inspired harmonies, offers a reflective and dramatic finish to the set. Joining Daniel Garbin onstage is a stellar ensemble: **Camila Cortina (piano), Hashem Assadullahi (alto sax), Matt Geraghty (bass), Varun Das (drums)**. Join them on a journey through jazz, world music, and personal expression with Daniel Garbin’s guitar solos serving as a powerful emotional centerpiece! **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 2/13 at 5PM)* *If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

Her multi-media array will feature such clips as the tenement wedding scene in “Uncle Moses,” a coming-out tango from “Americaner Schadchen” \[American Matchmaker\], a lovelorn lament from a lesser-known scene in “The Dybbuk,” and Molly Picon’s swinging theme song from “Mamele,” all of which her bands have also adapted into their own arrangements. Using her experiences as a film archivist for YIVO Institute, curatorial staffer for MoMA’s landmark Yiddish cinema retrospective Bridge of Light, and now film programmer for Yiddish New York Festival, she will also share footage from movie sources including an unexpected melange of Socialist credo and dialect humor; a rare glimpse of Soviet Yiddish star Solomon Mikhoels in a beloved musical comedy; and a Polish operatic subtext for a Moishe Oysher lullaby, among many other insights. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499 *(Must call before Thurs. 1/23 at 5PM)*** **If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

Williams, the founder and owner of the choir,  has worked with Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, and Ashanti. **JULIA VAN CARTIER-ROTHSCHILD (Drag Queen)** was the winner of New York’s Next Top Drag Queen at the Metropolitan Room in 2018 – and her Christmas extravaganza, “We Three Queens,” along with Ruby Powers and Strawberry Fields, is legendary. **RUBY POWERS (Drag Queen)**, dubbed New York City’s most joyous drag queen, is a former Miss Stonewall Inn Fan Favorite, and has performed at the Metropolitan Room, The Duplex, Urban Stages, and 54 Below/Feinstein’s, among others. Her “LOVE, RUBY” series raises money for causes ranging from The Elton John AIDS Foundation to the ACLU. **YASUHIKO FUKUOKA (Pianist)** is a versatile pianist and in-demand composer who is recognized both onstage and off for his virtuosic talents.  His works have appeared at prestigious venues from Lincoln Center to Festival de Cannes Court Métrage, spanning many genres of music from orchestral to electronica.

Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life and a sober conjecture about its future. As it traverses today’s Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience, *Tablets Shattered* also charts the universal quest to build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture. Joshua Leifer is a journalist, editor, and translator. His essays and reporting have appeared widely in international publications, including The New York Review of Books, The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Statesman, Haaretz, The Nation, and elsewhere. A member of the Dissent editorial board, he previously worked as an editor at Jewish Currents and at +972 Magazine. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Yale University, where his research focuses on the history of modern moral and social thought.

This show features the artwork and prose of a Jewish community reflecting on getting older. This exhibit draws its works from *ALTE: Getting Old Together*, an occasionally published broadsheet and website that presents art, photography, writing, and music created by Jewish contributors dealing with the joys, challenges, and many surprises of aging. Each issue is based on a theme that is open for interpretation by the contributors. Six of these themes are featured in our show: “Getting Old Together,” ‘Then and Now,” “Suddenly,” “Earth,” “Non-Human Beings,” and “The Future.” *ALTE: Getting Old Together* was founded by three creatives who previously worked at Jewish Currents — Lawrence Bush (editor emeritus), Esther Cohen (art consultant emeritus), and Jessica de Koninck (editorial board). Artists will be in attendance to share about their work and to answer questions from the audience. Light refreshments will be served. **Entry is FREE RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs. 12/12 at 5PM)* ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/ALTE_ExhibitOpening_InstaFlier.jpg) December 14, 2024 @ 11:00 am ### Details - Date: December 14, 2024 - Time: 11:00 am EST - Cost: Free - Event Category: [Exhibition Opening](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/exhibition-opening/) ### [20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/ "20 Puffin Way, Teaneck, NJ 07666") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, New Jersey 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20241214T160000/20241214T160000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-alte/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/ALTE_ExhibitOpening_InstaFlier.jpg) Date: Saturday, December 14 Time: 11:00 AM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck New Jersey 07666 Cost: Free Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20241214T160000/20241214T160000&text=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/exhibition-opening-alte/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-12-14T16%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=20%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20NJ%2007666,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%20New%20Jersey,%2007666&subject=Exhibition%20Opening%3A%20ALTE&body=) ### Prepare For Your Visit Got your reservations?

Their repertoire of modernized traditional folk songs highlights female voices expressing contemporary values while remaining rooted in their origins, blending indie sounds with pop influences. The close-knit band has been performing together for over a decade, playing in more than fifteen countries worldwide, releasing 5 albums, and garnering major nominations at the Canadian Music Folk Awards. This fall, the group releases **Elle Veille Encore**, an introspective album exploring the maternal spirit in an ethereal folk universe tinged with dream-pop and indie-rock. Rosier is made up of: Béatrix Méthé (vocals, fiddle and synthesizers), Sarah Marchand (vocals, piano and keyboards), Marie Savoie-Levac (bass), Éléonore Pitre (acoustic and electric guitar, backing vocals), and Colin Savoie-Levac (guitar, lapsteel and backing vocals). **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Wed. 10/16 at 5PM)* If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

Up against a corporate superpower and with legal protections at a drastic low for workers, all odds are against the ALU. Yet this rag-tag ensemble remains unswayed in their beliefs in collective action and the dignity and power of the working-class. ##### **4:30pm** ##### **A House is Not a Disco (90 min)** *Documentary* *Directed by Brian J. Smith* *Sponsored by Teaneck Creek Conservancy* Documents a year in the life in the world’s most iconic “homo-normative” community: Fire Island Pines. Situated fifty miles from New York City, this storied queer beach town finds itself in the midst of a renaissance as a new generation of Millennial homeowners reimagine The Pines for a new, more inclusive era. A cast of eccentrics, activists, drifters, and first timers reflect on the legacy of The Pines while preparing their beloved village for the biggest challenge it has faced since the AIDS crisis: rising seas caused by climate change. #### **Sunday, November 10, 2024** ##### **2:45pm** ##### **Daughter of Mine** (36 min) *Documentary / Crime* *Directed by Vanessa Martino* *Sponsored by YWCA Northern New Jersey* *Talkback with Director Vanessa Martino* In 1973, seven-year-old Joan D’Alessandro asked her mother Rosemarie if she could deliver a box of Girls Scout cookies to a neighbor and that was the last time Rosemarie saw Joan alive. Twenty years later, under the threat of the murderer’s impending release, with the help of her community, Rosemarie fought to keep him in prison. Rosemarie became a symbol of hope for her northern New Jersey community and a rallying point for victims’ parents nationwide. ##### **Strays (**15 min) *Short / Drama* *Directed by Or Schraiber* *Written by James Rana (Award-winning Teaneck Actor / Playwright)* *Talkback with James Rana & Producer Jane Kotlyar* Told through the immigrant perspective, a man, thousands of miles from home and living in a foreign city, works non-stop to support his family back home. The film celebrates all those who come here to make a better life for themselves and their loved ones. So often, they might feel invisible, but they are not. The film honors the importance of caring for our fellow individuals. ##### **4:45pm** ##### **Ain’t No Back to A Merry Go Round (89 min)** *Documentary* *Directed by Ilana Trachtman* *Sponsored by Bergen County (NJ) Chapter of the Links, Inc.; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Iota Epsilon Omega Chapter;* *Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity* *Talkback with Director Ilana Trachtman* When five Black college students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960, their arrests made headlines. When the Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the protest, a history-making interracial demonstration was born. The cause and the collaboration provoked counterprotests by the American Nazi Party and brought congressmen and national leaders to the picket line. – **Price: $10.00** **Buy Tickets at: [THIS LINK](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaneck-international-film-festival-2024-tickets-1027702765637)** ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/TIFF-flier-2024-_The-18th-Annual.jpg) November 9, 2024 @ 9:00 am – November 10, 2024 @ 11:45 am EST ### Details - Start: November 9, 2024 @ 9:00 am EST - End: November 10, 2024 @ 11:45 am EST - Cost: $10.00 - Event Category: [Film](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/events/category/film/) - Website: <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaneck-international-film-festival-2024-tickets-1027702765637> ### [Office](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/venue/office/ "Office") 20 Puffin Way Teaneck, 07666 Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20241109T140000/20241110T164500&text=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/teaneck-international-film-festival-puffin-cultural-forum-showings/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-11-09T14%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-11-10T16%3A45%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-11-09T14%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-11-10T16%3A45%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/TIFF-flier-2024-_The-18th-Annual.jpg) Date: Saturday, November 9 – Sunday, November 10 Time: 9:00 AM – 11:45 AM Location: 20 Puffin Way Teaneck 07666 Cost: $10.00 Website: <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaneck-international-film-festival-2024-tickets-1027702765637> Add to calendar - [ Google Calendar ](https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&dates=20241109T140000/20241110T164500&text=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&details=%3Cdiv+class%3D%22wp-block-group%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&trp=false&ctz=America/New_York&sprop=website:https://www.puffinculturalforum.org) - [ iCalendar ](webcal://www.puffinculturalforum.org/event/teaneck-international-film-festival-puffin-cultural-forum-showings/?ical=1) - [ Outlook 365 ](https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-11-09T14%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-11-10T16%3A45%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&body=) - [ Outlook Live ](https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/action/compose&rrv=addevent&startdt=2024-11-09T14%3A00%3A00%2B00%3A00&enddt=2024-11-10T16%3A45%3A00%2B00%3A00&location=Office,%2020%20Puffin%20Way,%20Teaneck,%2007666&subject=Teaneck%20International%20Film%20Festival%20%28Puffin%20Cultural%20Forum%20Screenings%29&body=) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Union-Final-2.jpg) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Daughter-of-Mine-2.jpg) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Strays.jpg) ![](https://www.puffinculturalforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-06-at-15912%20PM.png) Play ##### videoTextBlockModalblock\_d9a08d04352f6adc40f06de4f6c91468Title × Your browser does not support the video tag.

Following its sold-out world premiere at Queens College, the play makes its New Jersey debut in Teaneck. Written by Ralph Carhart, a senior college laboratory technician and adjunct lecturer at Queens College, and directed by Jordan Owens, The Invaders explores the powerful and harrowing journey of student volunteers as they transition from their vibrant college life in New York City to the perilous and violent landscape of Mississippi during a dark chapter in history. After the performance, join us for a panel discussion featuring playwright Ralph Carhart and the Executive Director of The Andrew Goodman Foundation, Rashawn Davis. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs 9/19 at 5PM)* If you cannot pay the suggested donation, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

The exhibition aims to provide an open platform for artists to express their perspectives and narratives in a safe, inclusive environment. Through this exhibition, we invite artists to our forum where we celebrate not just their creativity but also delve deeper into the diverse perspectives that contribute to the fabric of our democracy. We deeply believe in the crucial role that art plays in shaping our consciousness and see artists as agents of social change. Through “Democracy 2024”, we seek to provoke thought, evoke emotions, reflection, conversation, and perhaps even transformation of perspectives by finding commonalities amidst differences, fostering a greater sense of understanding and dialogue fundamental to a healthy democratic society. “Democracy, 2024” is a forum of expression by artist, while recognizing the diversity and significance of all the views represented on the ballot in this Presidential Election. We aim to highlight the right to vote, and to dissent in an effort to affect change for ourselves, our families, and our communities. We hope that art will inspire you to take action. **Suggested Donation: FREE** **RSVP below, OR call: 201-836-3499** *(Must call before Thurs 9/12 at 5PM)* ![Flier for exhibit opening of "Democracy 2024" at the Puffin.

Thank you! About Chomsky and the book: Noam Chomsky is a pioneering scholar in the field of linguistics, but he is better known as a public intellectual: an iconoclastic, radical critic of US politics and foreign policy. *Chomsky’s Challenge* examines most of the major subjects Chomsky has dealt with in his nearly half century of intellectual activism–the Vietnam War, America’s broader international role (especially its interventions in the Third World), the structure of power in American politics, the role of the media and of intellectuals in forming public opinion, and American foreign policy in the post-Cold War world. Chomsky is as controversial as he is influential. Admirers see him as a courageous teller of unpleasant truths about political power and those who wield it in the United States. Critics view him as a propagandist and ideologue who sees only black and white where there are multiple shades of gray. While Chomsky’s fans tend to view him uncritically, his critics often don’t take him seriously. Unlike any previous work, this book takes Chomsky seriously while treating him critically. The author gives Chomsky credit for valuable contributions to our understanding of the contemporary political world but spares no criticism of the serious deficiencies he sees in Chomsky’s political analyses. ![Flier for "Puffin Interview Series With Dr. Joe Chuman: Anthony F.

In his upcoming book *The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism*, scheduled to be released on July 10th, Conason uses an unsparing and often comic narrative to explore the right’s long, steep descent into a movement whose principal aim is not to protect freedom or defend the Constitution, but merely to line the pockets of pretenders and blowhards whose malevolent tactics now endanger the nation. Joe Conason is an American journalist, author, and liberal political commentator. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of The National Memo, and is the editor of Type Investigations, a nonprofit journalism center. He has authored two New York Times best-selling books: *The Hunting of the President* and *Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth*. The on-stage discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. **N95 or equivalent masks required.** Limited quantity will be available at the door for those without one. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP at: [https://thelongestconatpuffin.eventbrite.com](https://thelongestconatpuffin.eventbrite.com/)** **Or call: 201-836-3499** ***If you cannot pay the suggested donation***, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

Hearkening back to the variety shows of the 60s & 70s – like The Carol Burnett Show, The Flip Wilson Show, and The Cher Show – The David Drumgold Variety show features good old old-fashioned talent, cheer, and the escapism of a good time. It celebrates everything magical about art, and features the very best of comedy, drag, dance, and world-class musicians! Featured performers include the **New York Metropolitan Opera soprano Brandie Inez Sutton**, hailed by Opera News for her “sumptuous, mid-weight soprano,” and by the NYT for her “warm, ample voice… ravishing performance… and distinctive earthy coloring”; **pianist Yasuhiko Fukuoka**, praised by the NYT as a “brilliant pianist…\[who\]… found a blend of folk, classical, blues, and vaudeville styles”; and **R&B/Soul singer Diana Taylor**, whose debut single with Priority Records made her the #1 House/Dance artist signed to the famous label, alongside big name rappers like Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. Plus, the newest addition to the lineup is **Pissi Myles, an accomplished drag comedian, singer, and hostess** who has performed at Radio City Music Hall, the legendary Wigstock festival, and has been featured on Billboard, Vogue, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Huffington Post, RuPaul’s *What’s The T* Podcast, and more! The David Drumgold Variety Show is NOT to be missed! **N95 or equivalent masks required.** Limited quantity will be available at the door for those without one. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP at: [https://daviddrumgoldprideatpuffin.eventbrite.com](https://daviddrumgoldprideatpuffin.eventbrite.com/)** **Or call: 201-836-3499** ***If you cannot pay the suggested donation***, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).

The book takes readers on a uniquely personal journey through the legendary folksinger and songwriter’s remarkable life and career. Minimally edited to preserve Seeger’s trademark cadence, the book is punctuated by historical images and commentary by David Bernz, as well as remembrances from other musicians and friends and a foreword by Arlo Guthrie. Readers will come to know Pete more deeply as they hear this gentle, principled man’s voice, and bear witness to his humility and willingness to respect those whose opinions differed greatly from his own—vital qualities in these troubled and divisive times. “There is no one more important as a source of inspiration and process in the world of folk music than Pete.” – Peter Yarrow (from Peter, Paul & Mary) **N95 or equivalent masks required.** Limited quantity will be available at the door for those without one. **Suggested Donation: $10** **RSVP at: [https://choppingwoodatpuffin.eventbrite.com](https://choppingwoodatpuffin.eventbrite.com/)** **Or call: 201-836-3499** ***If you cannot pay the suggested donation***, please call 201-836-3499 or email aortega@puffinfoundation.org to make free reservation(s).
