Get your popcorn ready! Pat Collins guides us through some of the summer blockbusters coming soon to a theater near you.

We visited the Jazz House Kids in Montclair, NJ, where a group of talented young musicians are training for a big band jazz competition sponsored by Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Magalie Laguerre-Wilkinson heads to Jimmy’s Corner, legendary boxing bar in the Theater District, to speak with Andy Karl, who plays the titular character in Rocky the Musical.

Donna Hanover takes us to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture to see how Motown shaped - and was shaped by – the culture of its time. See how its legacy runs from 1960s Detroit all the way to 2014 Broadway.
