Most of us thought the slaughter of those cute baby seals with the big
black eyes had ended long ago. The truth of the matter is, more seals are
being killed in Canada
today than were killed in the 1970's and 1980's. They're
still being slaughtered in the same horrific manner, and yes they are babies. 95%
of the seals killed are between 12 days and 4 months old.

The theatre was rechristened the Count Basie Theatre in 1984, in honor of jazz pianist, composer and band leader William "Count" Basie (1904-1984). Even though jazz historians most commonly associate Count Basie with Kansas City, where he formed his first band, Basie was in fact a Red Bank native, born in his parent's house on Mechanic Street on August 21, 1904. The arts council would operate the theatre for the next twenty-six years, until a long-running internal debate about the council's mission (to serve the county's cultural community vs. managing the theatre) resulted in the divestiture of the council and the theatre, and on June 30, 1999 the Count Basie Theatre, Inc. was established as an independent nonprofit corporation to maintain ownership of and to manage, program and preserve the theatre.
