Jersey Shore Writer's Studio

The Jersey Shore Writer’s Studio (JSWS) in Asbury Park, NJ is a comfortable, supportive environment created specifically with the writer in mind. The Studio is open to all theatre artists who would like to collaborate in a creative atmosphere to develop a play, screenplay, short story, memoir, etc and who wish to hear their words read by members of the Studio.

The experience of hearing a character come alive is a critical step in the process for the writer. In support of that idea, an important component of the JSWS is the intense collaboration between writer and actor. JSWS is an opportunity to develop new work, fine-tune existing work and provide a creative and nurturing home for the aspiring writer.

The JSWS meets monthly at The Stephen Crane House, 508 Fourth Ave, Asbury Park

Miss Adria - Songs and Stories

In this half hour event for pre-schoolers and kindergartners, Miss Adria sings songs and stories about nature and the world.

Adria Glass, aka “Miss Adria” has been performing her entire life. From early performances in her family’s living room as a young child to her current endeavors in theater. Her inspiration for performing came from attending theater as a very young child, as well as countless jazz and blues concerts that she was fortunate to attend because of her parents love of music. Currently, Adria performs original and traditional songs at schools, daycare centers, bookstores, music festivals, libraries, temples, churches, community centers. She is also a pre-school music teacher in Rumson, NJ.
