IN oRBit: MATTERS OF LIFE & DEATH

ThereÂ’s an appearance by a local author, whose chronicle of her recovery from a devastating head injury details her experiences between this world and the next. An original musical written by two composer friends as a way of dealing with loss, and the mystery of where it is that we go when we die. A play performed by and for high school kids as a tool to combat teen violence and suicide. Each one a matter of life and death, and all of them taking place this Sunday within the greater Red Bank oRBit.

Today’s edition of our satellite site brings you to the Left Bank of Red Bank, where Kim Widener inaugurates her new NovelTeas Authors Aromas & Gifts with a visit by Noelle McNeil (above), the Little Silver student whose book Heaven Exists is fast becoming a word-of-mouth sensation.

From there it’s over to the Ranney School in Tinton Falls, where CBS exec (and frequent telecommuter to the Howard Stern show) Vinnie Favale of Lincroft offers a sneak preview of songs from his original musical drama Hereafter. Finally, we look in on Ralph Colombino of Eatontown’s ActorÂ’s Playground, who presents another free public performance of William Mastrosimone‘s award winning Bang Bang YouÂ’re Dead in Shrewsbury.

It’s all here, the sweet and the hereafter, along with a passel of picks to come in this hectic holidaze weekend, in Red Bank oRBit!

Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
