Local artists often find them-
selves performing in small clubs,
coffeehouses, house parties, and
even on the streets in downtown
areas. They rarely get the chance
to show their talents on the big
stage, but that may be changing.
New Jersey Stage first noticed
Monmouth University in West
Long Branch giving local artists
the chance to headline shows in
its beautiful Pollak Theatre when
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 56
The Weeklings performed there
in November. That wasn’t too
much of a stretch considering
one of the band members, Glen
Burtnik, released a pair of albums
on A&M Records in the 1980s
and his shows featuring the mu-
sic of The Beatles and Summer
of Love (which include all of the
members in The Weeklings) rou-
tinely sell out shows in theatres
across the state.
