SUMMARY:A Bronx Tale: The One Man Show starring Chazz Palminteri
DESCRIPTION:Bronx-born and raised Chazz Palminteri wrote A Bronx Tale in 1988. The powerful one-man stage play depicted his bruising childhood which included witnessing a gangland killing when he was nine years old. \nPalminteri played 18 characters and brought them all to life in his autobiographical play. His friends\, enemies and family came alive on stage. Hollywood Studios went crazy after seeing it and offered him millions of dollars to turn it into a major movie. There was one catch. They wanted to put a star in the role of Sonny and someone else to write the screenplay. With $200 dollars in the bank…Palminteri said No… he would hold out and wait. He wanted to play Sonny and write the screenplay. Then one night Palminteri walked into his dressing room and sitting there was Robert De Niro who just saw the show.  Robert DeNiro gave Palminteri the chance he was waiting for; and as they say in Hollywood the rest is history. \nPalminteri wrote the screenplay for the film A Bronx Tale and then most recently wrote the book for the Broadway Musical. It was the first time in history that the same actor wrote the one-man play\, the movie\, and the Broadway Musical and starred in each one. \nIn the past 35 years\, Chazz has appeared in over 60 films.  To name a few – The Usual Suspects\, Analyze This\, Mulholland Falls\, Jade\, Guide to Recognizing Your Saints\, Legend\, and Bullets over Broadway\, which he was nominated for an Academy Award.  He has starred in over 20 television series and has won 3 Emmy’s. Chazz is most recently seen in Modern Family\, Godfather of Harlem\, Law & Order and Gravesend.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is The 1619 Project. \nA dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism\, The 1619 Project: A New American Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present. \nThe New York Times Magazine‘s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work\, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression\, struggle\, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society\, from politics\, music\, diet\, traffic\, and citizenship to capitalism\, religion\, and our democracy itself. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Ocean Bodies\, A Solo Exhibit by Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery presents Ocean Bodies\, a powerful solo exhibition by multimedia artist Kimberly Callas. The exhibition will open on February 6\, 2025\, with an evening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 PM\, and will run through April 4\, 2025. Ocean Bodies offers an immersive exploration of humanity’s interconnectedness with the ocean\, drawing on symbols\, archetypes\, and ecological narratives to invite contemplation and action. \nThrough sculptures\, large-scale drawings\, and mixed-media works\, Callas examines the “crisis of meaning” at the heart of the climate crisis and advocates for a shift in consciousness toward an “ecological self.” This concept\, central to her work\, reflects humanity’s integral role within nature rather than apart from it. In Ocean Bodies\, she uses water-based materials\, such as dyed fabrics\, India ink\, and water-soluble graphite\, to invoke the sea’s physical presence while exploring the symbolic depth of whales\, the horizon\, and the ocean itself as metaphors for the psyche and cosmos. \nAmong the featured works is a series of 10-foot mixed-media drawings inspired by historical nautical charts\, which pair psychological journeys with the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Complementing these works are colorful life-size figurative sculptures and reliefs\, 3D-printed using bio-filament\, that further explore themes of renewal and interconnection. Through these works\, Callas poses urgent questions about the loss of meaning\, wisdom\, and biodiversity in the Anthropocene. \n“The ocean has a unique way to connect with people in an immediate and emotional way. Science and data can only tell us so much; art can speak to each of us in a way that is both uniquely personal and universal. Having Kimberly as the Urban Coast Institute artist-in-residence provided inspiration for some of the artwork in the Ocean Bodies exhibit\, which will in turn inspire others. She was also able to share her creative process with her students\, conducting lectures and using her art and sculpture as a pathway to ‘discovering the ecological self.’ This work reminds us that the worlds of art and science are two sides of the same coin\,” said Tony MacDonald\, J.D.\, Director\, Urban Coast Institute. \nCallas created much of the work in Ocean Bodies during an artist residency with Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute\, with additional research conducted at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and an artist residency at the Arts Quarter Budapest. This body of work seeks to merge art\, science\, and archetypal symbols to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world and inspire meaningful environmental action. \nAbout the Artist \nKimberly Callas is a multimedia artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. Her work delves into the human/nature relationship\, focusing on the concept of the ecological self. Recently\, she has incorporated cutting-edge technologies\, such as 3D printing with bio-filaments and CNC\, into her life-size sculptures. Art New England described her series Portrait of the Ecological Self as “unforgettable.” \nCallas’s work often involves community engagement. With her Discovering the Ecological Self social practice project\, featured in The Huffington Post\, she has led workshops across the U.S. and internationally. Her art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide\, earning her numerous awards and grants\, including the Pollination Project Grant\, the Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence award\, and the Puffin Foundation Grant. Her accolades include First Place in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. \nCallas’s recent exhibitions include the International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at the Pensacola Museum of Art\, and Ocean Swimmers (Entanglement)\, a solo exhibition in Budapest. In May 2025\, she will unveil a public art commission for the Lambert Castle Renovation in Paterson\, New Jersey. \nCallas holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University and maintains studios in Maine and New Jersey. \nEvent Details: \nExhibition: Ocean Bodies\nLocation: Ice House Gallery\, Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave # 600\, West Long Branch\, NJ 07764\nOpening Reception: February 6\, 2025\, 5:30–7:30 PM\nExhibition Dates: February 6\, 2025 – March 23\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 10am-5pm\, \nFor additional information\, please contact Scott Knauer\, 732.923.4786  or visit https://kimberlycallas.com/. \n

SUMMARY:Akhil Sharma - Visiting Writer
DESCRIPTION:Sharma is a highly decorated short-story writer and novelist; he’s been awarded many of the most prestigious prizes and recognitions that a fiction writer can receive. His first novel\, An Obedient Father (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux\, 2000)\, hailed in New York Magazine by Jonathan Franzen as “A great novel” and described by Hilary Mantel in the New York Review of Books as “uncompromising\,” with a “first chapter . . . [that] blasts off the locks and splinters the wood\,” received the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and was chosen as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. \nSharma’s second novel\, the spectacular Family Life (Norton\, 2014)\, received both the International Dublin Literary Award and the Folio Prize. Scholar and writer Edmund White called it “a terse\, devastating account of growing up as a brilliant outsider in American culture” and described it as “a near perfect novel.” \nSharma’s third and most recent book\, the story collection A Life of Adventure and Delight (Norton\, 2017)\, prompted writer Yiyun Li to describe Sharma as “truly the Chekhov of our time.” His stories have been widely published and anthologized\, appearing in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Best American Short Stories\, and O. Henry Award Stories.  \nIndeed\, Sharma is such an exacting and rigorous writer that\, quite unusually\, he recently published a revised and rewritten edition of An Obedient Father (McNally Editions\, 2022) more than twenty years after it first appeared in print. The critic Wyatt Mason\, reviewing the revised version in The New York Times Magazine\, described this as “Something white-rhino rare in the history of literature”\, adding\, approvingly\, “there is scarcely a paragraph that hasn’t been improved . . . ” \nBorn in Delhi\, India\, Sharma grew up in Edison\, NJ. Before becoming a professor at Duke\, where he now teaches\, he was on the faculty at Rutgers. He is an engaging and surprising speaker and an excellent reader of his work \nThis event is sponsored by The Visiting Writers Series\, with the Center for the Arts and the Intercultural Center.

SUMMARY:Yacht Rock!
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays\, January  23 & 30| 7:30 – 9:00 PM\n\nThis two-session virtual course\, taught by Kit O’Toole\, explores the origins and rise of Yacht Rock\, the smooth R&B and jazz-inspired genre.\n\nThe term “Yacht Rock” exploded in popularity since the eponymous satirical web series debuted 20 years ago. But what exactly is the genre? How did it start\, and which songs qualify as Yacht Rock?

SUMMARY:Brute Force
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1940\, Monmouth University alumnus Stephen Friedland performs under the name Brute Force. A lifelong singer-songwriter\, Friedland began his musical journey a songwriter for Bright Tunes Productions at the behest of doo-wop group The Tokens\, who had scored a hit with “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Friedland joined the band as their keyboard player. For Bright Tunes\, Friedland composed the Chiffons’ 1965 hit “Nobody Knows What’s Goin’ On (in My Mind But Me).” He also composed hit songs for Del Shannon\, Peggy March\,  and The Cyrkle. \n\n\n \n\n\nIn 1968\, The Beatles famously invited musicians around the world to submit their work for consideration for release by Apple Records. Friedland answered the call with his original composition “The King of Fuh\,” which has emerged as one of the most notorious songs in annals of Apple Records history. Against all odds\, John Lennon and George Harrison opted to release the song\, which tells the tongue-in-cheek story about a monarch toiling in the land of Fuh. Under Harrison’s supervision\, the song was overdubbed with a string arrangement composed by John Barham. Given the song’s irreverent nature\, EMI (Apple’s parent company) refused to distribute the single\, of which only 1\,000 copies were pressed. In 2010\, more than four decades after its original rejection by EMI\, “The King of Fuh” was released by Apple Records on the Come and Get It compilation. Friedland is currently developing a play titled Color Talk for production.\n\n\n
