On Friday, March 12, Montclair State University announced the precautionary decision to postpone the remainder of its PEAK Performance events for the 2019-2020 season due to the new coronavirus outbreak.
According to their website, the yearly events, focused primarily on interdisciplinary work, bring together a range of international and national artists who promote and perform their original work on the Alexander Kasser Theater stage.
Montclair State College of the Arts students through Department of Theatre and Dance as well as the John J. Cali School of Music also have the opportunity to feature their creative works in the series of performances.
