Singers to ‘pop up’ at TSTI

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — The Pop Ups — a pop duo that delights young children with their hand-painted sets, cardboard props and puppets — are bringing their unique show to Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel on Sunday, May 15, with a concert at 11 a.m. Brooklyn musicians Jason Rabinowitz and Jacob Stein, who have been nominated twice for Grammy Awards, play to sold-out audiences across the United States and have toured with “Yo Gabba Gabba Live.” Youngsters and their families from throughout the area are invited to attend the lively concert at the South Orange synagogue, located at 432 Scotland Road.

Tickets, available on Eventbrite at thepopups.eventbrite.com, are charged; admission is free for children under age 1. Proceeds from the show will support the science, technology, engineering, art, and math programs at TSTI’s Iris Family Center for Early Childhood Education. Activities in the STEAM Room are designed to broaden and deepen children’s critical thinking, problem solving, investigations and “tinker thinking” while embracing independence, curiosity, flexibility, innovation and creativity.

“The concert will enable us to add to our room with a host of materials in a child-centered, highly experiential environment,” early childhood Director Carol Paster said in a release.

The concert is being sponsored by The Kate Elliott Team at Coldwell Banker in Maplewood and the Modern Family Center at Spence-Chapin.
