Turnpike
A State of the Arts special presentation

Thursday, November 26, 2009, at 8 pm (NJN1)

Possibly the most famous road in America, the New Jersey Turnpike has made cameo appearances in Hollywood films like Being John Malkovich, the Beat poetry of Alan Ginsberg, the ballads of Bruce Springsteen, and popular television shows like The Sopranos. Turnpike, a State of the Arts special, focuses on art and artists inspired by the New Jersey Turnpike. Along the way, the program illustrates how a post-war, no-frills super highway became a cultural touchstone.
