Jeremy and Jazzy: Shake it Up!

Jeremy and Jazzy: Shake it Up! is a high-energy, interactive sing-along concert for preschool and early elementary kids and their grown-ups.  Bursting with live music, audience participation, and original songs, this joyful show gets kids dancing, singing, and clapping along from the very first note.

Join Jeremy and Jazzy on an imaginative road-trip adventure from Toronto to New York City—making stops along the way to hang out with bumblebees, dance with alien robots, throw a pizza party, and groove to funk-infused pop tunes the whole family will love. Featuring local New York actors playing Jeremy and Jazzy!

The live performance includes vibrant projections and brand-new animation from Jeremy and Jazzy, the hit kids TV series with over 18 million views on YouTube. The show airs on CBC and is available on Amazon Prime Video, Kartoon Channel!, and select PBS stations.

Night People: A Conversation with Mark Ronson

Step behind the velvet rope for a glimpse into 90’s club culture, the world that came alive when the sun went down. Mark Ronson joins us to discuss his New York Times bestselling book: Night People: How to be a DJ in 90’s New York City. The conversation will be moderated by Rabbi Deena Silverstone, followed by Q&A.

Mark Ronson began his rise to fame alongside the club kids, celebrities, and musicians who lived for the night. From gig to gig, Mark takes you along on his journey from dark, cramped DJ booths to working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, from Lady Gaga to Bruno Mars to Miley Cyrus. An Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winner, Mark has never lost sight of his beginnings, his values, his family, and his place in the Jewish community.

We hope you will join us for this exclusive JCP event. This is a members-only and guests of members event.

Registration information coming soon.
