Organization Overview: About Us
Pino Marelli born in Bari, Italy son of a classic musician. He studied music at the Giuseppe Verdi Consevatory in Milan. From there he traveled the world predominately in the Mediterranean and Caribbean entertaining on cruise ships with Costa Cruise Lines. This background enabled him to learn several languages resulting in performances vibrant in Italian, English and Spanish. Before moving to the US, Marelli lived in Milan where he worked as both a musician and a middle-school teacher. He continues to be a mentor to many around him and introduces international music to new audiences whenever he has the opportunity. A perfectionist about many things, including his music, colleagues consider him one of the most serious musicians they know. When Marelli moved his family to the United States in 1987 he began Marelli Productions Inc., PM Records, and MG Entertainment. He is the founder of the Puglia Club of Michigan, which is the region he is from, and was part of the Italian Comites in Detroit. He believes the problem with the world is communication, and that people don't listen to each other, and that music is a universal language. "People listen to music no matter what language they speak, and music can help educate people." Currently Marelli has released through PM Records 12 CD's, Videos, and 10 cassettes all featuring himself. He has produced other Italian and American artists,TV Show ITALY CON NOI, and he is singer, song writer, and composer. He has produced and hosted television and radio for the past 22 years in Michigan and most recently in southwestern Florida. Pino continues to travel around the country doing Italian Festivals, weddings, private partys and any occasion that will give him the opportunity to be able to bring a smile to a faced and add some warmth to a heart. His disc geography spans two continents, but his popularity reaches farther. His good looks, soft spoken charm and quick humor delight everyone he meets.
Mission:
My mission is to create an evening of unforgettable entertainment for all ages, whether performing American favorites, Spanish, or Italian songs. The European based of my international music is a unique sound appealing to a diverse number of people. Blending contemporary and traditional styles, toe-tappers and showstoppers. From fund raisers to festivals the band focus is on high energy dance music with mixes in Caribbean salsa and calypso. Shows by my duo have the same sense of fun while placing a greater emphasis on beautiful romantic ballads appropriate to formal or intimate occasions.
When your planning your next party ( wedding, festival, club function, dinner dance or holiday party) we have the entertainment you'll need to make it a success. Whether your looking for a Band, Solo, Trio, or DJ, any kind of music in Italian, English or Spanish.

Organization Name: Jewish Theater of Grand Rapids
Organization Overview: Judy Subar began her love of theatre as a teenager, participating in numerous Community theatre organizations. Years ago, when both the Ahavas Israel Sisterhood and Grand Rapids Hadassah chapter were active, Judy was very involved in writing and producing (short) plays and skits for the Jewish community.
As an adult, she was an avid reader of both the monthly Hadassah Magazine and the weekly newspaper The Forward (an American newspaper published in NYC for a Jewish American audience which began publishing in 1897 in Yiddish under the name Forverts.) In these publications she read about the professional Jewish plays that were being written and performed in New York (some on Broadway), and other cities. For many years she collected these news articles.
One day in 1992 she bumped into Don Herman, who inquired what she had been up to. Judy told him about how she had been collecting all this information about Jewish plays being performed throughout the U.S. and was thinking about doing something similar in Grand Rapids. Don was intrigued; so they decided to get together and brainstorm, which they did over coffee at Arnie's Restaurant in Breton Village. Judy brought all her clippings.
Moving forward they brought in Judy Krell (Judy Subar's sister-in-law), known for her organizational skills, and Linda Albert, a good friend of Judy's who had helped to direct a play at EGR High School and was known for her expertise in communication.
Judy Subar has been keeping Scrapbooks about JTGR since 1992. They reside at the Jewish Community Archives at Temple Emanuel.
The four of them met in Don Herman's living room... and that is how it all began. They decided to hold the plays at Congregation Ahavas Israel, since they had a stage and a curtain. One of the first plays performed during the inaugural 1994-95 season was a Reader's Theatre production The World of Sholom Aleichem, adapted by Linda Albert. Judy remembers, "We stood in front of the curtains. We stood in front of music stands with our scripts in front of us...and we told some of the stories of Sholom Aleichem. We had a nice crowd for an audience. It was an evening performance with dessert. Things went well for what it was." Four shows are listed on the roster for JTGR's first season.
Some of the early productions were also performed at Temple Emanuel on their Bema. One of the early plays, performed in the third season (1996-97) was "This Reminds Me of a Story (What Jewish Humor Says About the Jews)," written by Don Herman. Due to difficulties scheduling shows around Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Jewish holiday schedules, it was around this time that Don spoke with Fred Sebulske about renting space at Spectrum Theater. No one had ever done that before. But Fred said "yes" and so JTGR's relationship with Spectrum Theater began. Now JTGR had access to morepowerful lighting, a sound system, and many other things not available at the Synagogue or Temple. It was the beginning of JTGR becoming a REAL theatrical company.
A Board of Directors was formed. Don Herman was the first President. He served in that role for many years and was instrumental in helping to mold JTGR into what it is today. Cheryl Currier was our first Administrative Director. After Don stepped down, other community members have served as JTGR Presidents, adding their knowledge and expertise and helping the organization continue to grow. These include Dr. Jeffrey Frank, Lori Jacobs, and JTGR's current dynamic president, Leonard Robinson who is in his 10th year as JTGR Board President.
Many more have donated their time and energy to Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids, serving on the board, selecting the plays that will be presented, helping with productions. Being Jewish is not a requirement to volunteer! We have many volunteers from other faiths. There is always room for more people! Visit our Volunteer page if you would like join the fun.
Jewish Theatre has had many growing pains over the years. But we have come a long way in the last 20+ years. We should be proud of ourselves that in a community the size of Grand Rapids we have been able to continue to present shows with a Jewish connection that appeal to people of ALL faiths. (Remember - You don't have to be Jewish to love Jewish Theatre). Many Jewish Theatres across the country are struggling or have folded. Grand Rapids is truly blessed.
Please help to ensure that JTGR keeps the lights on...attend a performance, subscribe, and support JTGR with your dollars!
