As U.S. 1 went to press last week with its guide to the summer cultural scene, several regional organizations announced some late-breaking additions to the calendar.
The West Windsor Arts Council is presenting a summer series of three uniquely different concerts at Nassau Park Pavilion (behind Panera Bread) in West Windsor. Modern cellist Dan Kassel opens for each performance.

And one venue had a different sort of announcement: a lack of a summer schedule. In an email to supporters, Hopewell Theater noted that it would be closed for the summer:
“Thank you to everyone who attended the film screenings and partnership events at HT this past spring and winter and to those who hosted private events at the theater.
“We greatly value your patronage. With your support, our reopening since fall 2021 has been a great success!
“Hopewell Theater will be temporarily closing for the summer as we reinvent and plan for the future.
“For news and updates about further plans and eventual reopening, keep an eye on our website and stay tuned to email and social media.”
