The George J. Otlowski Sr. Center for Mental Health Care recently unveiled updated facilities, new services, and more in-person programming. This comprehensive community mental health center serves County residents ages 5 and up with an Outpatient Department, Partial Care Program, and Medical Unit. Staffed by experienced mental health and substance abuse professionals — including social workers, psychologists, professional counselors, rehabilitation counselors, psychiatrists, and nurses — the Otlowski Center offers treatment for a wide range of emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, marital and family issues, and other problems of daily living.

“Since long before mental health became a national crisis, Middlesex County has been a pioneer in investing and prioritizing mental health services in this region,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios. “The Otlowski Center is one of few in New Jersey that provides comprehensive services and programs to those struggling mentally. It’s more than a safe and effective place for care, it offers patients and families the hope and light they desperately need.” Thanks to the robust partnership between Middlesex County, Hackensack Meridian Health, and Middlesex College, the Otlowski Center will also offer specialized training, coursework, and internships in mental healthcare. These opportunities will help pave the way for future healthcare professionals, ensuring Middlesex County continues its legacy of promoting education and wellness. Future plans for the Center include a health clinic, onsite pharmacy, and clinical testing laboratory. For more information about the Otlowski Center, please visit middlesexcountynj.gov and search “Otlowski Center” or call 732-376-6789 today to schedule an appointment.

On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners held its annual Reorganization Meeting at the Middlesex College Performing Arts Center. The event brought together distinguished guests, including Governor Phil Murphy and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, alongside an au dience of local officials, community leaders, and reside nts. The evening featured the swearing-in ceremonies for Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios and Commissioner Deputy Director Shanti Narra. In his address, Rios celebrated the County’s use of innovation and collaboration to improve the quality of life of all residents.

“In 2025, we remain steadfast in our mission to innovate and lead by constantly looking for new and better ways to serve our residents and business community,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios. For event highlights, please visit middlesexcountynj.gov/Reorg .

Innovators look at challenges and see possibilities where others see problems. They confront challenges head-on, explore potential solutions, and courageously pursue them. In 2024, the County launched initiatives designed to further enhance residents’ quality of life. Through strategic investments and new and ongoing partnerships in the public and private sectors and across all industries, the County continues working to sustain and grow a robust economy — one that enables Middlesex County to provide the programs and services its residents rely on, while also building and supporting a healthy environment for businesses and entrepreneurs. Middlesex County is actively creating the future its residents want and deserve — in 2025 and beyond.

Forward-thinkers have always chosen Middlesex County as the place to explore ideas and make bold moves. This is where Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lightbulb and where pharmaceutical pioneers Johnson& Johnson built their global headquarters. It continues to be a hotbed for innovators, with entrepreneurs, start-ups, and established companies electing to base their operations in Middlesex County — including, most recently, Nokia Bell Labs’ East Coast R&D hub. Why are innovators choosing Middlesex County? Because innovation is part of the County’s DNA, a core characteristic that is evident to all. From investments in education and infrastructure, to the ways it conceives of,

The Otlowski Center is named in honor of former County Freeholder Director George J. Otlowski, Sr., a dedicated mental healthcare advocate who helped obtain funding for the facility when it first opened as the Raritan Bay Mental Health Center in 1970. Otlowski’s advocacy led to Middlesex County developing a mental health support system that is as diverse as the community it serves.

You’re Not Alone: Middlesex County’s Lifeline for Caregivers Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding experience, but it can also come with challenges. Middlesex County is committed to ensuring caregivers and residents have access to essential resources and support. Whether you’re a caregiver, or seeking help for a loved one, Middlesex County offers a wide range of services to improve quality of life, foster inclusiveness, and provide peace of mind. “The Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services works closely with residents to understand their needs,” said Laila Caune, Director of the Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services. “Our office serves the community through programs and services that empower caregivers and their loved ones, providing access to the essential resources they need to navigate life’s challenges.” A Designated-Age Friendly Community In 2024, Middlesex County joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, reinforcing its commitment to an inclusive, accessible environment for all residents. County programs focus on infrastructure improvements and services that improve mental health, physical health, and social connection, providing the foundation for a higher quality of life. “Caregiving is a vital and selfless role that is held by many residents in our community,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Claribel Azcona-Barber. “As chair of the Community Services Committee, I am proud to support and uphold Middlesex County’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of our residents through ongoing investments and expansion in programs and resources that support caregivers.” County Empowers Caregivers to Thrive Through Vital Resources and Support Communities

The Play’s the Thing

ACT I PRE-PRODUCTION

While Plays-in-the-Park’s summer season officially kicks off with the first show’s 10-day run in June (shows two and three get their 10-day runs in July and August, respectively), preparation begins the previous August. By late that month, Davis has compiled a list of potential shows, taking into consideration what the audience will enjoy and what the crew can successfully bring to the stage. By November, three shows have been selected and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Once legal rights for each show are secured, the core group of Plays-in-the-Park staff hit the ground running. Sets must be designed and constructed, props created, seasonal staff hired, costumes rented, and performers cast for all three shows. Even with several months until the curtain goes up, every moment counts.

ACT II SETTING THE SCENE

NOW IN ITS 63 RD SEASON

MAKING LIVE THEATER ACCESSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS EACH YEAR

Bringing each show to life begins with research. For Set Designer Mike D’Arcy — who doubles as head scenic painter — this means exploring the time period of the show to understand the atmosphere the crew needs to create on stage. “We want to give the Broadway-quality feel without the Broadway-quality budget,” says D’Arcy. “That’s one of the challenges: ‘How do we make that specific show work for the Plays-in-the-Park stage?’” He works closely with each show’s director and with Griffin to align on the look of the set from a design perspective and determine what will work from a structural standpoint. As part of his process, D’Arcy builds detailed scale models of nearly every set and digital models for the rest. When he finishes designing the set for one show, he moves on to the next, and each completed model is sent to Griffin and the Head of Sound and Lighting Christopher Cichon. As Technical Director, Griffin oversees all technical aspects

“Bringing these productions to the stage requires the creativity, collaboration, and hard work of every member of this team, but together we can make just about

Every summer since 1963, Middlesex County’s Stephen J. Capestro Theatre in Roosevelt Park has come alive with the sounds of music and dancing, laughter and tears… as tens of thousands of people experience the magic of live theater at Plays-in-the-Park. But how many audience members are aware of the amount of work put in behind the scenes to create that magic on stage each night? A small but dedicated team of County employees, led by Producing Artistic Director Margaret “Moggie” Davis and the Theatre’s Technical Director Dave Griffin, work year-round to stage three Broadway-caliber musicals each summer, a children’s show in the autumn, and a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the State Theatre New Jersey in December.

of each production, as well as the building itself. He uses D’Arcy’s model to create a buildable blueprint that he and his team of carpenters use to build the actual set. Griffin and his team are responsible for ensuring each set is structurally sound and safe for the cast and crew.

ACT III THE CURTAIN GOES UP

Cichon oversees the sound and lighting for each show. Beyond ensuring the audience can hear and see what is happening on stage, sound and lighting also help set and support the emotional tone in any scene. With the help of a small crew of seasonal employees, Cichon ensures these critical needs are met. He is responsible for all technical elements, including the 300 to 400 light fixtures used each summer, the 60-kilowatt sound system, the cast’s wireless microphones, any video or projection needs, and all computer work. “There’s something like two million points of failure in the system — that’s every single cable, everything that could potentially go wrong. It’s a huge undertaking and I love it. Being outdoors and the challenges that presents, I love it,” says Cichon. While the design elements are being put in place, Head of Props Gabrielle Komleski does her own research to get a sense of what will be needed for each show. Along with her team of seasonal employees, Komleski “dresses” the set, adding details that enhance the story being told on stage. Every show involves a mixture of building or creating props, sourcing items from things already in stock backstage, and buying or borrowing critical items that cannot be made. Finding the right props on budget and within the tight timeframe is not always easy, but Komleski relishes the challenge. “One of my favorite aspects of my job is the creativity,” she says. “Trying to figure out how to make something can be challenging and frustrating, but it’s so rewarding when it comes together.” In keeping with the tight timeline, auditions for all three shows take place at once, during 10 days in April. Rehearsals for show one start by the beginning of May, for show two by the end of May, and for show three in early June. The core staff is joined by their seasonal employees as the pace — and workload — increases. In addition to producing all five annual shows, Davis typically directs the first show of the summer season. Logistically, it’s the only one she can do since her work as producer of the second and third shows is in full swing by the time the first show ends. Davis serves as the linchpin of the Plays-in-the-Park operation, a dynamic personality who keeps everyone motivated and everything moving.

During each show’s run, the staff spends the early part of the day fixing any scenery or props from the previous night’s performance. The rest of the day is spent preparing for the next shows. Davis, Griffin, and Cichon are backstage for every performance, along with a crew of seasonal employees — including Griffin’s carpentry team, which is on hand to fix any problems with the set. “Sometimes a part of the set will need to be fixed right away — especially if it’s a safety issue —so we’ll do that between scenes or acts if we can,” says Griffin. The entire staff’s efforts, and their phenomenal results, do not go entirely unnoticed. Plays-in-the-Park has a reputation for attracting top talent; many actors have gone on to perform on Broadway or in touring productions, and the musicians are all professional, union musicians. Performers come back year after year, in large part because the theater and its productions are so well run. The audience returns each year as well. Plays-in-the-Park’s affordable (tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for seniors, and free for children under 12), high-quality productions bring in County residents and theater fans from across the region, with approximately 30,000 attendees or more each summer. “Because of the incredible support we receive from the Board of County Commissioners, we are able to produce excellent shows that attract crowds of all ages — we often have multiple generations of families attending shows together,” says Davis. “This is an affordable night o ut for families, and for so many children it’s their first experience seeing live theater and such talented actors and musicians. It often inspires them to pick up an instrument or explore a hobby or career in the arts. It’s a beautiful thing.” For information about Plays-in-the-Park, please visit MiddlesexCountyNJ.gov/PIP .

Seeing the new Performing Arts Center at the Middlesex County East Brunswick Magnet School, one would never guess this state-of-the-art, 632-seat theater is housed in a public high school. With over $4.7 million invested in upgrades like new seats; fully digital audio, visual, and lighting systems; a modern green room with amenities including multiple changing rooms and restrooms; and a newly built scene shop adjacent to the stage — students are performing at a theater on par with renowned Broadway venues. “Our vision is to build a cultural hub for both our students and the broader community, aimed at creating more educational opportunities, improving accessibility, and creating a modern performance space that honors the arts while preparing students for careers in the performing arts industry,” said Middlesex County Magnet Schools Superintendent Jorge E. Diaz. From its Senior Showcase to Spring Dance Performance, the school also envisions presenting Broadway-level productions, with its first full-scale, sold-out performance of Mama Mia this past February. “With a student-first mindset, the Performing Arts Center at East Brunswick Magnet School offers students, families, and the community unique access to extraordinary arts and cultural experiences. This is life-changing,” said Middlesex County Commissioner and Chair of Economic Development Chanelle Scott McCullum. And while East Brunswick Magnet School’s arts programs are helping students hone their craft, the lessons they are learning go far beyond technical skills. “I’m helping my students build self-reliance, not necessarily to become professional dancers, but to be successful human beings in this world,” said Dance teacher Cleo Mack, a 16-year veteran at East Brunswick Magnet School.

The dedicated employees in the Office of Parks and Recreation have a huge job.

The Office maintains and protects the County’s parks and open spaces, conserves natural resources, and facilitates and supports numerous indoor and outdoor programs, events, and activities — including the County’s Bark Rangers program for residents and their dogs.

In total, the Middlesex County park system includes: • Facilities for concerts, picnics, and summer and winter sports programs • More than 8,200 acres of conservation areas and preserves From live theater and summer concerts to picnic groves, sports fields, and special events like walks, runs, festivals, fireworks, and celebrations — Middlesex County’s parks offer something for everyone.
