Bus Trips To New York Part Of Spring Semester In Katz JCC Program

CHERRY HILL, NJ - The Saltzman Foundation’s Life Long Learning Institute at the Katz JCC offers adults of all ages the chance to expand their knowledge, meet new friends and keep their minds sharp.

The spring 2019 session runs April, May and June. Registration for JCC members opens March 27 and to the rest of the community on March 29. Courses span a wide range of subjects including film appreciation, history, literature and fine art, current events, music and more.

In the spring semester, classes will cover the musical world of George Gershwin and choreographer Twyla Tharp, Hollywood starlet Lana Turner and the life and work of Bob Hope.

Attendees will celebrate positive aging on screen with a screening of the film “I’ll See You in My Dream” starring Blythe Danner and Sam Elliot. They can also take part in an interactive discussion on sleep with JCC wellness lifestyle coach Liz Curran and get creative in Christine’s Art Class.

Courses will also cover 20th century art by Jewish artists, current events and political hot topics.
There will also be two bus trips to New York City. On May 5, a trip to the acclaimed New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center gives attendees the chance to see exceptional dancers perform dances from Barber, Broadway and Balanchine.

On Sunday, June 23, it’s a chance to see “Tootsie: New Broadway Musical.” Based on the popular movie from the 1980s, Tootsie centers on a talented but difficult actor who finds himself struggling for work, but a desperate stunt lands him the role of a lifetime. Both trips include coach transportation from Cherry Hill to New York City.
