Join Nimbus, September 12, 2020 at 7pm EDT for the  Virtual Grand Opening of the Nimbus Arts Center at the Lively!

In Fall 2020, Nimbus will move into the Nimbus Arts Center at the Lively, a 15,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Jersey City's Powerhouse Arts District which will house the non-profit organization's professional dance company, school of dance, performing arts presentations, visual arts program, and office headquarters.

No Peeking Theatre has begun a virtual reopening, by producing their repertoire for an online experience that is free to the public. On July 25th, they will release their second show online, titled INDIGENOUS.

Set in the early 1900's Pine Barrens of New jersey, MOTHER LEEDS is a story that places the audience in the immersive role of Sam, the 12th child of stern, on-edge, and frightening, Jane Leeds. Sam discovers the youngest estranged sibling; a brother, who is locked away from the rest of the family. The story takes place during three pivotal days in the life of a religious, ostracized family in the care of a single mother, placing us in the shoes of a child, riddled with curiosity and fear.

MOTHER LEEDS is a historical horror story rooted in New Jersey Legend: The Jersey Devil.

INDIGENOUS is a compilation of stories, poems, songs, and narratives that discuss the Indigenous Experience. Following suit of previous shows like BLACKOUT and In Lak' Ech, the show sets out to invoke a hard discussion by confronting issues through the vein of genuine experience. From blood quantum, stereotypes, and identity, to rituals, songs, and poems, INDIGENOUS implores the audience to absorb some of the most authentic, beautiful, uncomfortable, ugly truths about who and what 'America' really is.
