Richard III
The Curtain will host a series of panels and talk-backs with national political action groups and elected leaders following Sunday matinees of their all-new adaptation of William Shakespeare's Richard III (starring Andrew Sellon from TV's “Gotham”). These panels are free and open to the public.
On Sunday, March 22, panelists include ACLU of NJ Executive Director Amol Sinha and Jersey City Mayor James Solomon.
Panelists will address the overlap between Richard III and the current state of American affairs, discussing how to get involved in the current protest movement and local politics, the resources available to the public, knowing and exercising your constitutional rights, how to protect your neighbors and your community, the history of activism in America, and more.

Screening of the Librarians
On Monday, October 13 at 7 p.m., join ACLU-NJ, Princeton Public Library, and Labyrinth Books for a special Banned Books Week screening of The Librarians.
This screening highlights the ongoing surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools. Banned Books Week highlights the value of free and open access to information and brings together the entire book community to support the freedom to seek and to express ideas.
This screening will include a round of Banned Books trivia. The film will be introduced by Janie Hermann of Princeton Public Library and Alyssa Kopyani of Labyrinth Books. After the screening please join us for a Q&A with ACLU-NJ Executive Director Amol Sinha and New Jersey Library Association 2023 Librarian of the Year Marth Hickson.
About The Librarians:
In this new documentary from Oscar-Nominated Documentarian Kim A. Snyder, Librarians unite to combat book banning and to defend First Amendment Rights amid unprecedented censorship in Texas, Florida, and beyond.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
