About WP Presents

WP Presents! strives to bring to campus high caliber touring artists across a range of disciplines including acoustic and world music, contemporary folk music, theatre, dance, family programming and other eclectic fare. The series is built on a foundation of excellence and continuously seeks innovative programming to serve the campus, and the community.

A multitude of artists including The 5th Dimension, Arlo Guthrie, Carl Palmer of Emerson Lake & Palmer, David Crosby, Darlene Love, DMC of Run DMC, Graham Nash, Johnny Ventura, Judy Collins, John Sebastian, Jim Messina, Los Lonely Boys, Pete Davidson, Roy Haynes, Robert Cray, Southside Johnny, and Wanda Sykes, have graced our stage.  We have presented works from national theatre tours of The Second City, Moscow Ballet, Aquila Theatre Company, Literature to Life, TheaterWorks USA, Vital Theatre, and the National Theatre of the Deaf. All Family Performances are sensory friendly productions presented by a variety of artists and theater companies. Many of our visiting artists conduct educational outreach programs, for both the community at large and the University.

       

WP Presents! and The Jazz Room Series events are made possible in part by a grant from the NJ Council on the Arts/Dept. of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
