Boheme Opera is in the midst of great changes. After 26 years of programmatic planning, enriching more than a generation of audiences and creating artist and professional opportunities, Boheme is thinking out of the box. Over the past two years, an expansion of outreach has spread awareness and notoriety of our company. This season, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts showed its support of this expansion with a 10% increase in funding.
Our 27th season continues to build upon our many accomplishments as we return for the 6th year to The College of New Jersey’s Kendall Main Stage Theatre for two productions: a semi-staging of Die Fledermaus on Nov 22 and a new full staging of Carmen on April 8 & 10 .
A fourth annual holiday event at Grounds For Sculpture’s East Gallery on Dec 4 – Boheme Christmas Card – will feature popular carols and winter memories. Throughout the season, Boheme will continue to bring its popular outreach events to venues in the Central Jersey and Bucks County Regions.
The future of Boheme Opera is bright, and you can be an integral part of its rebirth. Please give as generously as you can, while we continue to share our amazing art form with you. Read about our new appeal options.
Thank you!

Care2Share Affinity Program
Almost all of us are passionate about the work of a charitable cause or community organization. Many charitable entities represent the arts. Boheme Opera NJ is a non-profit 501c3 that has been accepted into the Investors Bank Care2Share Affinity Program.
When you bank at Investors, you can link any personal checking or savings account to Boheme. Investors then calculates and sends quarterly contributions to Boheme based upon the average monthly balances you maintain in your linked accounts.
When you link your eligible account(s) to Boheme, it receives from Investors Bank .25% on the average monthly balance of your checking account or .15% on the average monthly balance of your savings account. If you have checked off the last item on our Build Appeal 2015 form, we will send you a one-page signup to get started.
Please tell everyone you know about Care2Share, because the more accounts linked to Boheme, the more substantial the donations it receives. This is free and does not affect any of the features or benefits that come with your accounts.
You can enroll the following Investors personal accounts into the Care2Share Program:
-
Investors Checking Accounts
-
Investors Savings Accounts (includes Statement, Passbook, Money Markets & CDs)
-
Investors IRAs
We thank you in advance for considering this unique
and easy option for supporting Boheme Opera NJ. It means so much to you and to us alike!
