Active Servicemen and Women to Be Honored

Active Servicemen and Women to Be Honored At Memorial Day Parade


Nutley, NJ – The Veteran’s Council and the Office of the Mayor would like to once again invite Nutley residents enrolled in the Armed Forces and their families to participate by marching in the Memorial Day Parade.

“It is such a nice way to pay tribute to these men and women, and to be sure that their selfless service to our country is always remembered,” commented Mayor Joanne Cocchiola. “This also gives our community members the perfect opportunity to thank them.”

Servicemen, servicewomen and their families are asked to contact the Mayor’s Office to confirm their participation. Names will also be collected for the Memorial Day Parade Commemorative Service Banner, which features names of community members who are actively serving in the Armed Forces.

There are currently 35 names of active servicemen and servicewomen on the banner, which is hanging on the Oval fence by Town Hall, off of Chestnut Street.

The Memorial Day Parade will take place on Monday, May 31st with opening ceremonies commencing at 11am in the Nutley Park Oval. This year’s parade will boast active marching bands, dance troops and army vehicles.

In addition, children and adults alike will be invited to participate in a patriotic bicycle parade. Bicycle parade information will be distributed through local public schools and pre-schools.

Please contact Mayor Cocchiola’s office if you have a friend or family member serving who would like to either march in the parade, or be added to the banner – 973-284-4976 or mblank@nutleynj.org, or if you would like additional information about the parade.

You can also contact Jack Magnifico, President of The Veteran’s Council.

UP POPS THE DEVIL in Nutley, N.J.

Nutley Little Theatre

UP POPS THE DEVIL

By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Directed by Julie Jin

NLT’s very first production is revived as a special event for our 75th anniversary celebration!

Performing at Grace Episcopal Church, where it all started with the Parish Players, we’ll stage this light-hearted, screwball comedy of the day, very much in the style of “Barefoot in the Park.”
Complete with fast-paced, witty dialogue, interesting characters and unusual role reversals, “Up Pops the Devil” will be NLT’s major fundraiser for the season.

Oct. 23, 24, 25*
*2 p.m. matinee

======================
Francis Goodrich (1890-1984) was born in Belleville, moved to Nutley at the age of two and grew up in the large family home at 187 Nutley Avenue. It was a home where she would later marry Albert Hackett. The couple wrote dozens of plays and scripts for Hollywood films. The first play they competed together, “Up Pops the Devil,” was the first staged production of the Nutley Little Theatre on Nov. 23, 1934.

Francis and Albert became well know for their screenplays on the three “Thin Man” films staring Myrna Loy and William Powell, and on Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But Francis Goodrich and Albert Hackett’s crowning achievement came as playwrights on ”The Diary of Anne Frank” for which they won the Pulitzer Prize.
