JULY 9 – The 2010-11 year began with one of the first performances anywhere by the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band.

Pictured greeting Derek Tucks and Susan Tedeschi are (far left) William Marraccini, of the theatre’s Board of Trustees, and Russell Clark (far right).

The restoration of the theatre’s exterior and façade was completed during the first half of fiscal 2011. Begun in March, protective scaffolding shrouded the theatre’s façade through November while the work was conducted.

The $2 million “Let’s Face It” project included a completely new exterior brick and stone wall facing Monmouth Street. The only original material left on the façade of the building are the stone Griffins that sit atop the peak of the façade.

The project included new digital signs, which sit within a brand new marquee designed to more closely resemble the historic marquee pictured in this photo from the late 1940’s.

AUGUST 2 – Filmmaker and Red Bank native Kevin Smith celebrated his 40th birthday at the Count Basie Theatre with an evening of audience Q&A. The event was filmed for TV.

The evening included a life-sized bust of Kevin created in cake by the Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, of Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken. Buddy has also appeared live at the Basie.

AUGUST 14 – Guitarist Will Ackerman, a friend of Marketing Director Diana St. John, performed a benefit concert for the theatre’s restoration fund, and spoke about the founding of the record label he owns, Windham Hill Records. The Two River Theater provided the intimate setting for this special event.

AUGUST 24 – The Count Basie Theatre’s Performing Arts Academy ended its summer term with a showcase featuring performances by its students. Enrollment in the Performing Arts Academy reached record numbers in fiscal 2011.

On September 25 at Sandy Hook, Bike for the Basie raised $9,000 to benefit the theatre.

The morning of family fun began with a yoga class.

Pictured (left-right) at the post-concert reception are long-time supporter Evan Blonder, and Fab Faux members Frank Agnello and Jack Petruzelli.
