Senior Happening: Susan Speidel & Joe Regan Present “Name That Tune”

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to an in-person Senior Happening on Friday, June 23rd at 1pm featuring “Name That Tune” by Susie Speidel and Joseph Regan. “Name That Tune” is an interactive Broadway trivia game filled with lots of great songs, interesting facts, and plenty of audience participation. During this performance you’ll join entertainers Susan Speidel and Joseph Regan for a fast-paced hour filled with favorite tunes, Broadway, and “fabulous” prizes!   The game features songs, questions, and trivia from Broadway musicals so whether you play along or just sing along - you’re sure to have a great time. 

Susan Speidel served as the Director of Education for Papermill Playhouse, where she oversaw the operations of the Theater School and created the Rising Star Awards, the Summer Musical Theatre Training program, and the Adopt-A-School Project, which was cited for excellence by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She is a three-time Perry Award nominee and the recipient of numerous MSU Theatre Night Awards, the NJ Governor’s Award for Theatre Education, and the NJ Theatre Alliance’s Applause Award.  She was recently inducted into the NJACT Hall of Fame for her contributions to theatre and arts education.

Joe Regan is a fixture on the cabaret scene, appearing in piano bars, on international river cruises and at various resorts.  He performs regularly at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC and 16 Prospect in Westfield and can also be seen online on Virtual Piano Bar.  He has been nominated numerous times as Outstanding Piano Bar Instrumentalist by the Manhattan Association of Cabaret.  He is also a teaching artist for the Performing Arts School at The MAYO Performing Arts Center in Morristown.

The Senior Happening is a monthly series that allows attendees (“Seniors” or otherwise) to socialize during the first part of the program (12 until 12:45 pm) by bringing a bag lunch, while enjoying desserts and coffee served by the Friends of the Library volunteers. The program and entertainment then begins at 1 pm.

Registration is required and may be done in person at the library; by telephone at (973) 992-4600; or online at www.livingstonlibrary.org. Registration begins on June 5th for Livingston residents and other Essex County residents may register starting on June 19th.

Senior Happening is made possible in part by funds from the Essex County Division of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and through the support from the Friends of the Livingston Library.
