Best Locket Inscriptions Win Tickets to See 'ANNIE' on Broadway

'ANNIE'S Locket of Love' sweepstakes asks Patch communities in New Jersey: If you could give a locket to someone you care about deeply, what would the inscription say?

The iconic story of "ANNIE" is about hope, optimism and love, and there is no better symbol of that than the locket Annie wears around her neck, a token of love from her biological parents to help her get through tough times.

Theater & Dance Camp Holds Summer Show

Township's recreational theater camp ends with a Broadway caliber show.

On Thursday evening, the Livingston Senior, Youth and Leisure Services' organization hosted "From Here to Broadway" at the Monmouth Court Community Center. The dance recital served as the culmination of an intensive two-week recreational dance camp run by the township.
