Click Here (to Start Your Order): Performance and Talkback

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 @ 4:30pm



Monmouth University - Lauren K. Woods Theatre
370 Cedar Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ 07764

The 2022 Dobbs decision, which led to the loss of national abortion access, has ushered in a new era for women’s health, one marked by worsening health outcomes, maternal health deserts, uncertainty and fear. This 4-woman performance of a new verbatim play is based on oral history interviews and shares the stories of women across the country most impacted by state abortion restrictions in order to inspire social action and compassion.

The performance will immediately be followed by a talkback facilitated by Dr. Katie Parkin and Dan Swern (writer/director).

Written and directed by Dan Swern of coLAB Arts in New Brunswick, with contributions from the ensemble.

Ensemble:

Karen Alvarado

Debjani Banerjee

Chantal Jean-Pierre

Kaitlin Ormerod

This project was made possible by grants from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Middlesex County Board of Commissioners’ Cultural and Arts Trust Fund, and funding through the New England Foundation for the Arts.

This event is co-sponsored by the Program in Gender and Intersectionality Studies (PGIS)

Larry Fuller Trio at May Jersey Jazz LIVE! in Madison

Pianist Larry Fuller has always loved musicians who "play at an incredible level but still remain accessible to an audience." Some examples among pianists, he said, are Oscar Peterson, Monty Alexander, Cedar Walton, and Ahmad Jamal. That will be the musical essence of Fuller's performance when he leads a trio on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at the New Jersey Jazz Society's Jersey Jazz LIVE! concert at the Madison (NJ) Community Arts Center. His music, he said, will hopefully "uplift people with the spirit and energy of swinging."
