Robbinsville Farmers Market
July 1 - September 30, Tuesdays, 3:30-7pm

We provide a large selection of fresh local fruits & vegetables and other fresh foods, as well as household, flower, and pet items. Also, don't miss our weekly attractions that include Touch-A-Truck, special music, pet day, and more! The Farmers' Market is a memorable experience for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you every Tuesday!

We’ll read and discuss excerpts from impactful children’s books, both classic and current, and analyze why they work so well. Weekly generative prompts will inspire you whether you’re just beginning your kidlit adventure, or you’re already working on a piece and want to hone it further. Bring your desire to write for children and/or young adults, an open mind and a childlike sense of adventure! Led by Eric Bell.

Blood Orange is an original experimental horror play about grief, girlhood, and starting new religions.

The play tells the story of Faye, a teenage girl who — feeling abandoned by God and her mother in the wake of her father’s violent death — turns to a nightmarish roadkill creature for salvation. Faye then draws her awkward friend, Eden, into a strange religion filled with prayer, blood, and budding love.

The play delves into grief as an ugly, intricate, and biting experience, examining the complexities of modern teenage girlhood and sexuality and asking vital yet often overlooked questions: How do young women navigate a culture that hypersexualizes them while demonizing their desires? What happens when the hunt for pleasure intertwines with pain?

Learn how to build a friendship between verse and art by using the energy of music, paintings, films and more to create exciting ekphrastic poems. This encouraging workshop will help you collect inspirations and engage with structures, themes and motifs of other artists. Led by Cynthia Arrieu-King.

The viola may be the butt of many musical jokes, but Mozart? He adored it. So much so that all six of his string quintets give it a starring role, adding a second viola to create a richer, warmer, and more balanced sound. Mozart even preferred playing viola himself when jamming with friends. And in 1787—while riding high on the success of The Marriage of Figaro and knee-deep in drafting Don Giovanni—he somehow found time to write two of his greatest quintets. Were they an instant hit? Not exactly. Vienna wasn’t buying (literally), and a war-induced recession didn’t help. But history has set things right, and now, the legendary Takács Quartet, celebrating their 50th anniversary, joins the phenomenal Jordan Bak to bring these masterpieces to life. The C Major Quintet (K. 515) is grand, operatic, and full of surprises (including a minuet so off-kilter it’s practically undanceable). Its dark twin, the G Minor Quintet (K. 516), is all stormy drama—until Mozart flips the script with bright, almost cheeky ending. So come join us onstage in celebrating a decade of Performances Up Close, 50 years of Takács brilliance, and two of the most spectacular works ever written for strings.
