Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend! In addition to all the big holiday events throughout the region, some other Irish-themed activities in North Jersey include a St. Pat’s Day murder mystery in Millburn, Irish music and brews in Denville, and a craft session at American Dream. But if the holiday-theme isn’t your thing, there is so much more.
If you need a few laughs, we’ve got you covered with a comedy tournament in Carlstadt, improv in Madison, a night of four standups in Newton and Andrew Dice Clay at BergenPAC. Music of many genres can always be found in North Jersey, like the works of Rachmaninoff at NJPAC, Wu-lves of Wu-Wednesdays in Rutherford, Chris Janson in Montclair and The Groggers in Teaneck. Local theater productions include “Barefoot in the Park” in Clifton, “Things My Mother Taught Me” in Oradell and “Frozen Jr.” in East Hanover.
Take advantage of the warming weather with outdoor activities like a walking tour of Great Falls and a program about owls in Tenafly. Local bookstores are hosting meet-and-greets, with Peter Wolf in Ridgewood and Admiral William H. (Ret.) and Kelly Marie McRaven in Northvale. Plus, there’s a Debbie Tintle art exhibit in Chester, a Devils game at Prudential Center and an Ides of March dinner and cocktail pairing at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

Debbie Tintle art exhibit in Chester
The Atrium Art Gallery winter exhibit, open weekdays (except holidays) through April 25, will feature realistic landscape watercolor artist Debbie Tintle of Chester.
According to Tintle, “The old mills, the wildlife, the vanishing farms and countryside around Chester, New Jersey are sources of inspiration for me, as well as the people and places I come across in my travels to the Adirondacks, New England and Europe. I am a realistic landscape painter, concerned with the light and color of a scene – the sounds, or the stillness, the weather, are all part of my overall impression of a place. My goal is to capture and share the elusive mood of a place and time in the same way that I experienced it.”

Bergen County Players – ‘Things My Mother Taught Me’
Love, laughter and a few moving boxes set the stage for this comedy by Katherine DiSavino at the Little Firehouse Theater in Oradell, weekends through April 5.

Excited (and naïve), they think they are prepared for this adventure — but an oversized chair and the sudden arrival of both sets of parents toss more than a few wrenches into their best laid plans. What follows is a series of mounting misfortunes, familial misunderstandings and plans gone awry, all wrapped up in heartfelt moments among an extended family that really does care.
The cast includes Angelina Aragona of Washington Township as Olivia and Juston LeBaron of New York City as Gabe; as well as Leslie Darcy of Oakland, Jody Laufer of Hawthorne, Rachel Alt of Ridgefield and Chris Caira of Leonia as the parents; and Jenna Stewart of River Vale as the building super.
