Jersey City Theater Center will present a reading of Sibling Rivalries by Marcus Scott, a new play set at a fictional Ivy League school in the years following the Obama Administration. This political drama follows a diverse group of young black men, all members of a fraternity, who face shifting loyalties and eroded principles when they are forced to compete against one another for a prestigious fellowship. Sibling Rivalries will take place at Jersey City Theater Center (165 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07302 / Entrance from Barrow St., Jersey City, NJ, 07302) on Monday, September 18 at 7:30PM. Tickets start at just $5.00 and are available at www.JCTCenter.org.  "As we prepare to showcase the extraordinary talent of Marcus Scott, a remarkable representative of the black, queer community, whose work we have had the privilege of nurturing by providing a creative residency in 2023, our enthusiasm knows no bounds. At the very core of our mission lies our unwavering commitment to open doors for emerging playwrights, allowing their voices to resound both locally and on the globally," stated Olga Levina, the Executive Producer at JCTC. "JCTC is immensely thankful for our enduring partnership with I Love Greenville and the sponsorship from Healthier JC, our collaboration has given rise to a wide spectrum of programming, each piece thoughtfully designed to shed light on the experiences and obstacles faced by people of color while celebrating their rich cultural traditions."  We wish to express our gratitude to the Performers' Unions: ACTORS' EQUITY ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN GUILD OF MUSICAL ARTISTS, AMERICAN GUILD OF VARIETY ARTISTS and SAG-AFTRA through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear in this program.

Join us on our Facebook page and upstairs in the Turrentine Room on July 8, 3:00 to 4:30 p.m., for a live performance from Nuojun Wang Duo!

About Nuojun Wang Duo:

Praised by critics as “a rising pianist who is truly passionate, sensitive, and musical”, Nuojun Wang has appeared as a soloist on concert stages throughout the United States, Austria, Netherlands, France and her native China. Nuojun Wang has performed in various well-known concert halls including Kleine Zaal, Concertgebouw at (Amsterdam), Solitär, Mozarteum (Salzburg), Salle Cortot (Paris), Newman Recital Hall (Los Angeles), Janette MacDonald Hall (Los Angeles), Seully Hall (Boston), to name a few.

Nuojun has been awarded prizes in many music competitions in Europe, US as well as China.

She previously obtained her bachelor degree from Boston Conservatory at Berklee under the guidance of American pianist Dr. Jonathan Bass. She currently maintains an active private piano teaching studio in Los Angeles.

Chinese-American violinist Strauss Shi is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting multi-instrumental artists today representing music of the east and west. Praised by American conductor Carl St.Clair as “a deeply probing musician who plays with passionate commitment and virtuosity” and a “rising star” by the late Maestro Michael Morgan, Strauss made his major debut with the Utah Symphony under the baton of Vladimir Kulenovic at the age of seventeen and has since then concertized in the United States, Europe and Asia. Strauss is a top prizewinner at numerous competitions including Gold Medal at the 3rd Berliner International Music Competition (2019), First Prize at the USC Thornton Concerto Competition (2018), Grand Prize at the Mondavi Center Young Artists Competition (2017), First Prize at the United States International Music Competition (2016), and Second Prize at the inaugural Siqing Lu Futian International Violin Competition (2016), among others.

Recent solo appearances include USC Thornton Symphony and Andrés Cárdenes, Downey Symphony Orchestra and Sharon Lavery across two seasons, Chamber Music Society of Colombo with Midori, and his debut with the Pacific Symphony at the invitation of Carl St.Clair in their Summer Series “Symphony in the Cities” in Mission Viejo, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Musco Center, and Irvine across 10,000+ audiences to major acclaim. Recital highlights include sold-out debuts in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.

This event is presented by Friends of the Escondido Public Library.

Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts at University of California Davis

During our Spring Break, we visited college campuses. We took a campus tour of UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Westmont in Santa Barbara.

UC Davis

I had never been on the campus of UC Davis. But I had heard there were cows and smells. It was much better than expected. The Welcome Office was sparkling new and next to a new Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts and new Shrem Art Museum. The intro speech was given by a peppy young coed. The room was packed with prospective students and their anxious parents and bored siblings. Our tour guide was a young history major. He walked backwards telling us all the stats and stories about the building, majors, dining options, housing options. It was a Sunday morning during their spring break too, so the campus was unusually quiet. The campus is flat and lined with trees. Typically, there are tons of bikes streaming along the bike highways for the 29,000 undergrads. The buildings varied from mid-century pragmatic to glassy and modern. UC Davis has a large student body, and they all ride their bikes around campus. It was better than expected. Not smelly at all. Like all UC’s, UCD is very strong in sciences and research. UC Davis has specialties in veterinary, agrotech, and viticulture and enology (wine and beer). We found the Activity Center impressive. Campus is quiet from the city noise. We had lunch just off campus in Davis. It’s a small college town, laid back. About 20 minutes from Sacramento, it’s out of the city. Overall, UCD was a pleasant surprise. Go Aggies!

What You Should Know About the 15 Top-Ranked Red Blends at Total Wine

Red blends make up a massive category in the wine industry for a few reasons: Most importantly, they’re fairly inexpensive, and appeal to a range of audiences. Bottles below $15 tend to be sweeter and richer wines that are juicy and easy-drinking. Above $15, bottles tend to have more structure and less residual sugar, appealing to wine drinkers looking for accessible, yet more serious wines.

According to the data firm Nielsen, red blend table wine (excluding Chianti) has grown to nearly $2 billion in off-premise sales in the U.S. over the last year, from almost $1.7 billion just four years ago. It’s a bigger category than sparkling wine, which is at $1.75 billion, and rosé, at $576 million. VinePair’s own internal data confirms that consumers are deeply interested in the category. Per VinePair Audience Insights, consumer interest in “red blends” is quickly rising, with drinkers searching for the term as if it were a variety. Red blends were the third most popular “variety” in VinePair’s wine rankings in 2019, up from ninth place in 2017. Google Trends shows similar findings.

And retailers around the country are seeing the same. “It’s a huge category but it wasn’t always that way,” says Alex Poreda, director of sales at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, a Florida-based retail chain with 124 stores. Poreda says that red blends from the United States make up the majority of the category, and that they are a leading seller across the chain. “It’s really easy for people to take a chance on a bottle of wine under $12, but it did take a while to build,” he says.

To get a sense of the wines leading the red blend category, we looked to Total Wine, one of the country’s largest wine retailers, for its top customer-ranked bottles. Here’s what to know about the biggest red blend brands and bottles.

15 Best-Ranked Red Blends on Total Wine

Kendall-Jackson Napa Valley Vintner’s Reserve Red Wine Blend

When the Jackson family purchased a pear and walnut orchard in 1974, little did they know the eventual winery would become one of the most influential in California. It is still family-owned to this day. Vintner’s Reserve is the flagship range. This blend is made up mostly of Syrah and Zinfandel, displaying rich fruit, spiciness, and lush tannins. Average price: $15.

Robert Mondavi Oakville BDX

Another trailblazer in the California wine industry, Robert Mondavi winery was founded in 1966. BDX stands for Bordeaux — this is a Bordeaux-style blend with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon. While many red blends are from larger AVAs like Napa Valley or California, this one’s grapes come specifically from the Oakville sub-AVA. It tastes like black plum, blackberry, baking spices, and cocoa. Average price: $52.

Witching Hour California Red Blend

The Witching Hour is a spooky-sounding red made by The Wine Group, the folks behind big brands such as Cupcake, Franzia, and Benziger. It’s a classic Bordeaux blend, showing dark cherry fruit and vanilla. Average price: $8.

Radius Washington State Red Blend

Radius was founded in 2008 and makes wines from both California and Washington, but it’s a wine from the latter that made it onto this list. The Washington Red Blend combines Bordeaux grapes like Cabernet and Merlot with Syrah. It’s red-fruit-forward, with hints of cocoa and tea. Average price: $12.

A3 California Red Blend

The three As are “anytime, anyplace, anyone,” a nod to enjoying the moment with a good glass of wine. A3 is a brand by Trinchero Family Estates, which owns Ménage à Trois, Sutter Home, Joel Gott, and many more. The red blend has flavors of red fruit as well as sweet, spicy oak notes. Average price: $7.

Crimson Thread California Red Blend

Crimson Thread is in the portfolio of one of the wine industry’s largest companies — see a pattern here? E&J Gallo was established in 1933 and is still family-owned today. This red is a blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Zinfandel; it’s rich, with dark cherry and blackberry flavors rounded out by spice and vanilla. Average price: $8.

Ancient Roots California Red Blend

True to its name, Ancient Roots focuses on making wine from old vines, which tend to produce fruit with much more intensity and concentration. This bottling is no exception, exhibiting dark cherry and vanilla, with a plush mouthfeel. It’s a Cabernet-Malbec blend. Average price: $8.

Big Six Bourbon Barrel Red Blend

The Big Six wine is notable for being aged in bourbon barrels for three months prior to bottling, adding some oomph in the form of spice, vanilla, and caramel to the Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel fruit, which show off cherry and blackberry flavors. Plus, this wine is vegan. Average price: $16.

San Antonio Cardinale American Sweet Red

San Antonio is an urban winery in Los Angeles founded in 1917. It now also has locations in Paso Robles and Monterey. The Cardinale is based on Cardinal, a relatively unknown grape mostly used for sweet reds. Despite the residual sugar, this wine is described as juicy and refreshing. Average price: $8.

The Prisoner Napa Valley Red Blend

The Prisoner is one of Napa Valley’s biggest success stories. Star winemaker Dave Phinney created it in 2000; it would become so popular that the brand was sold to Huneeus Vintners in 2010, and then to Constellation Brands in 2016. The ripe and smooth kitchen-sink blend has mostly stayed the same, led by Zinfandel and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono. Average price: $47.

Cooper & Thief California Red Wine Blend

Here’s another wine aged in bourbon barrels — a trend! — and also for three months. This Cooper & Thief wine is a mix of several grape varieties, including Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s jammy with velvety tannins, and is 17 percent alcohol. Average price: $25.

Vinestone California Sweet Red

Vinestone is another sweet red on this list that exemplifies interest in this subcategory. The reviews for this wine note that it is quite sweet. Drink it as a dessert wine, or pair with spicy foods. But it also has a juicy and refreshing quality from cherry and peach flavors. Average price: $10.

19 Crimes Australia Red Blend

This is another roaring success in the world of red blends, but this one hails from Australia. Each label of 19 Crimes depicts a famous convict who comes to life and tells their story when processed through the winery’s augmented reality app. The bold Red Blend displays Irish separatist John Boyle O’Reilly and is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro.

What You Should Know About the 15 Top-Ranked Red Blends at Total Wine

Red blends make up a massive category in the wine industry for a few reasons: Most importantly, they’re fairly inexpensive, and appeal to a range of audiences. Bottles below $15 tend to be sweeter and richer wines that are juicy and easy-drinking. Above $15, bottles tend to have more structure and less residual sugar, appealing to wine drinkers looking for accessible, yet more serious wines.

According to the data firm Nielsen, red blend table wine (excluding Chianti) has grown to nearly $2 billion in off-premise sales in the U.S. over the last year, from almost $1.7 billion just four years ago. It’s a bigger category than sparkling wine, which is at $1.75 billion, and rosé, at $576 million. VinePair’s own internal data confirms that consumers are deeply interested in the category. Per VinePair Audience Insights, consumer interest in “red blends” is quickly rising, with drinkers searching for the term as if it were a variety. Red blends were the third most popular “variety” in VinePair’s wine rankings in 2019, up from ninth place in 2017. Google Trends shows similar findings.

And retailers around the country are seeing the same. “It’s a huge category but it wasn’t always that way,” says Alex Poreda, director of sales at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, a Florida-based retail chain with 124 stores. Poreda says that red blends from the United States make up the majority of the category, and that they are a leading seller across the chain. “It’s really easy for people to take a chance on a bottle of wine under $12, but it did take a while to build,” he says.

To get a sense of the wines leading the red blend category, we looked to Total Wine, one of the country’s largest wine retailers, for its top customer-ranked bottles. Here’s what to know about the biggest red blend brands and bottles.

15 Best-Ranked Red Blends on Total Wine

Kendall-Jackson Napa Valley Vintner’s Reserve Red Wine Blend

When the Jackson family purchased a pear and walnut orchard in 1974, little did they know the eventual winery would become one of the most influential in California. It is still family-owned to this day. Vintner’s Reserve is the flagship range. This blend is made up mostly of Syrah and Zinfandel, displaying rich fruit, spiciness, and lush tannins. Average price: $15.

Robert Mondavi Oakville BDX

Another trailblazer in the California wine industry, Robert Mondavi winery was founded in 1966. BDX stands for Bordeaux — this is a Bordeaux-style blend with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon. While many red blends are from larger AVAs like Napa Valley or California, this one’s grapes come specifically from the Oakville sub-AVA. It tastes like black plum, blackberry, baking spices, and cocoa. Average price: $52.

Witching Hour California Red Blend

The Witching Hour is a spooky-sounding red made by The Wine Group, the folks behind big brands such as Cupcake, Franzia, and Benziger. It’s a classic Bordeaux blend, showing dark cherry fruit and vanilla. Average price: $8.

Radius Washington State Red Blend

Radius was founded in 2008 and makes wines from both California and Washington, but it’s a wine from the latter that made it onto this list. The Washington Red Blend combines Bordeaux grapes like Cabernet and Merlot with Syrah. It’s red-fruit-forward, with hints of cocoa and tea. Average price: $12.

A3 California Red Blend

The three As are “anytime, anyplace, anyone,” a nod to enjoying the moment with a good glass of wine. A3 is a brand by Trinchero Family Estates, which owns Ménage à Trois, Sutter Home, Joel Gott, and many more. The red blend has flavors of red fruit as well as sweet, spicy oak notes. Average price: $7.

Crimson Thread California Red Blend

Crimson Thread is in the portfolio of one of the wine industry’s largest companies — see a pattern here? E&J Gallo was established in 1933 and is still family-owned today. This red is a blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Zinfandel; it’s rich, with dark cherry and blackberry flavors rounded out by spice and vanilla. Average price: $8.

Ancient Roots California Red Blend

True to its name, Ancient Roots focuses on making wine from old vines, which tend to produce fruit with much more intensity and concentration. This bottling is no exception, exhibiting dark cherry and vanilla, with a plush mouthfeel. It’s a Cabernet-Malbec blend. Average price: $8.

Big Six Bourbon Barrel Red Blend

The Big Six wine is notable for being aged in bourbon barrels for three months prior to bottling, adding some oomph in the form of spice, vanilla, and caramel to the Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel fruit, which show off cherry and blackberry flavors. Plus, this wine is vegan. Average price: $16.

San Antonio Cardinale American Sweet Red

San Antonio is an urban winery in Los Angeles founded in 1917. It now also has locations in Paso Robles and Monterey. The Cardinale is based on Cardinal, a relatively unknown grape mostly used for sweet reds. Despite the residual sugar, this wine is described as juicy and refreshing. Average price: $8.

The Prisoner Napa Valley Red Blend

The Prisoner is one of Napa Valley’s biggest success stories. Star winemaker Dave Phinney created it in 2000; it would become so popular that the brand was sold to Huneeus Vintners in 2010, and then to Constellation Brands in 2016. The ripe and smooth kitchen-sink blend has mostly stayed the same, led by Zinfandel and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono. Average price: $47.

Cooper & Thief California Red Wine Blend

Here’s another wine aged in bourbon barrels — a trend! — and also for three months. This Cooper & Thief wine is a mix of several grape varieties, including Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s jammy with velvety tannins, and is 17 percent alcohol. Average price: $25.

Vinestone California Sweet Red

Vinestone is another sweet red on this list that exemplifies interest in this subcategory. The reviews for this wine note that it is quite sweet. Drink it as a dessert wine, or pair with spicy foods. But it also has a juicy and refreshing quality from cherry and peach flavors. Average price: $10.

19 Crimes Australia Red Blend

This is another roaring success in the world of red blends, but this one hails from Australia. Each label of 19 Crimes depicts a famous convict who comes to life and tells their story when processed through the winery’s augmented reality app. The bold Red Blend displays Irish separatist John Boyle O’Reilly and is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro. Average price: $9.

Melodramatic California Red Blend

Launched in 2016, Melodramatic Wines leans heavily into its retro-style, performance-art-inspired branding. The Red Blend allies Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet. Its flavor profile centers on cherries and blackberries, with a touch of black pepper. Average price: $12.

Joan Baez Adds 2019 Dates to ‘Fare Thee Well Tour’; Visiting Dallas on April 19th for a Performance at Strauss Square

Due to popular demand, Joan Baez will extend her extensive 2018 tour into 2019 including stops at D.C.’s Warner Theatre, Northampton’s John M. Greene Hall, Knoxville’s Tennessee Theatre, Austin’s Paramount Theatre and more. Her first album in ten years, Whistle Down The Wind was released earlier this spring to widespread praise on Bobolink/Razor & Tie Records. The album debuted at #18 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums chart and #4 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart—Baez’s strongest chart position since 1975’s Diamonds & Rust. Recorded over a ten-day period in Los Angeles, Whistle Down The Wind was produced by three-time Grammy Award-winner Joe Henry (Bonnie Raitt, Allen Toussaint and others) and includes songs written by Tom Waits, Anohni, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Josh Ritter and Eliza Gilkyson. Of working with Henry, Baez says, “It was a hunch on both of our parts that we could make an album together. As it turned out it was a no brainer. We both work fast and were musically on the same wavelength. I work best with musicians who are as willing as I am to wing it and he assembled a group of players who did just that. Meaning: invent each song from scratch.”

Baez remains a musical force of incalculable influence. She marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, shined a spotlight on the Free Speech Movement, took to the fields with Cesar Chavez, organized resistance to the Vietnam War, inspired Vaclav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic, saluted the Dixie Chicks for their courage to protest the Iraq war, stood with old friend Nelson Mandela in London’s Hyde Park as the world celebrated his 90th birthday and, most recently, protested the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. To this day, she continues to stand passionately on behalf of causes she embraces Tour Dates: 2018 September 11—Ithaca, NY—State Theatre 12—New Haven, CT—Shubert Theater 14—Boston, MA—The Wang Theatre 15—Boston, MA—The Wang Theatre 17—Montreal, QC—Place Des Arts Maison Symphonique 18—Toronto, ON—Roy Thomson Hall 21—New York, NY—Beacon Theatre 22—New York, NY—Beacon Theatre 25—Red Bank, NJ—Count Basie Theatre 26—Philadelphia, PA—Verizon Hall @ Kimmel Center for the Performing 28—Washington, DC—Warner Theatre 29—Durham, NC—Durham Performing Arts Center 30—Nashville, TN—Ryman Auditorium October 2—Ann Arbor, MI—Michigan Theater 3—Cleveland, OH—State Theatre 5—Chicago, IL—Chicago Theatre 6—Minneapolis, MN—State Theatre 24—Denver, CO—Paramount Theatre 25—Santa Fe, NM—The Lensic Performing Arts Center 27—Phoenix, AZ—Celebrity Theatre 28—Tucson, AZ—Fox Tucson Theatre 30—San Diego, CA—Humphreys Concerts November 1—Santa Barbara, CA—Arlington Theatre 2—Chico, CA—Laxon Auditorium 4—Seattle, WA—Benaroya Hall 5—Portland, OR—Revolution Hall 7—Redding, CA—Cascade Theatre 8—Eureka, CA—Arkely Center for the Performing Arts 10—Los Angeles, CA—Royce Hall 11—Rohnert Park, CA—Weill Hall at Green Music Center 14—Davis, CA—Jackson Hall at Mondavi Center 15—San Francisco, CA—The Masonic 17—Oakland, CA—Fox Theater Oakland 18—Oakland, CA—Fox Theater Oakland 2019 April 10—Birmingham, AL—Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center 12—Atlanta, GA—Atlanta Symphony Hall 13—Mobile, AL—The Saenger Theatre 16—San Antonio, TX—The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts 17—Austin, TX—Paramount Theatre 19—Dallas, TX—Strauss Square 20—Fayetteville, AR— Walton Arts Center 22—St Louis, MO—The Pageant 23—Knoxville, TN—Tennessee Theatre 25—Newport News, VA—Ferguson Concert Hall 26—Washington, DC—Warner Theatre May 1—New York, NY—Beacon Theatre 3—Port Chester, NY—Capitol Theater 5—Port Chester, NY—Capitol Theater
