Performing Arts 5678 | It’s Show Time in Berkeley Heights

This week we visit Performing Arts 5678 in Berkeley Heights and speak with Jessica Lombardi. The performing arts school was formed out of necessity during the pandemic as Jessica's regular teaching job was cut from the town's curriculum.

The program and teaching is centered around performances, not competitions like most competitors. Designed to help performers become more confident, healthy, and strong, Performing Arts 5678 is devoted to providing knowledge and passion, whether performing as a fun activity or wanting to pursue more intense experiences. Students can take class at the studio or they offer voice/piano lessons in home.

Buy NJ campaign kicks off to support local NJ businesses

We started BuyLocalNJ in November 2018 because we saw the need to support our local businesses. Without our main street businesses, our communities would suffer and the downtowns would be left with empty storefronts. With COVID-19, our NJ businesses need the community support more than ever. That is why we have continued our BuyLocalNJ series with livestreams and videos for towns like Berkeley Heights and New Providence.
