Don is a man who operates the only pharmacy within 4\,000 square miles.  He navigates a profound divide between his public persona and his personal life.  To the community\, he is jovial and heroic.  At home\, he is impotent and isolated due to his wife’s disability.  “The Apothecary” explores notions of individual duty and obligation in the face of privately held grief and ambivalence. \nWise Choice or Lucky Guess – Directors’ Choice3.5 min. by Ellen Raines\, Fox Point\, WI.A recently deceased man has to make a choice between heaven and hell\, while sitting on an escalator.Rehearsal – Directors’ Choice 11 min. by Tom Rosenberg\, Austin\, TX.

It will be rescheduled for March 6.  Nick Dear’s Frankenstein \nNational Theatre Live’s 2010 broadcast of Frankenstein returns to cinemas as part of the National Theatre’s 50th anniversary celebrations. \nFrankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre\, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. \nOscar-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting\, Slumdog Millionaire) directs a sensational production. In this encore screening Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness\, BBC’s Sherlock) plays Dr. Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting\, CBS’s Elementary) his creation. \nChildlike in his innocence but grotesque in form\, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes\, the friendless Creature\, increasingly desperate and vengeful\, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility\, parental neglect\, cognitive development\, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/cancelled-national-theatre-of-london-frankenstein/ CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/NTLive_frankenstein_full.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20140208T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20140208T160000 DTSTAMP:20260513T191914 CREATED:20180725T204635Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190122T193916Z UID:40810103303-1391853600-1391875200@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Ladies and Gentlemen...The Beatles!

Barrie’s classic tale created by John Caird and Trevor Nunn. This touring production explores the journey of a group of children in turn-of-the-century London who use their imaginations to reenact the story of Peter Pan. This story empowers children to create their own world of make-believe. \nAs the children fly to Neverland and escape the evil Captain Hook and Mr. Smee\, they recognize the importance of friendship as well as the value of being part of a family. This production encourages children to let their imaginations take “flight” and to create their own adventures using household objects as props and puppets as characters. \n(Approximately one-hour in length\, recommended for grades 1 – 5) \nFor more information and study sheets visit: www.theatreworksusa.org URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/peter-pan/ CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Peter_Pan_Full.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20131207T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20131207T235900 DTSTAMP:20260513T191915 CREATED:20180725T204639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204639Z UID:40810103327-1386428400-1386460740@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Senior Recital: Rachel Armstrong DESCRIPTION:Rachel Armstrong\, Music Education major will be performing her Senior Recital at the Woods Theatre on Saturday\, December 7\, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. She will be featured on voice and piano.
