SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club - American Dirt
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Jeanine Cummins’s American Dirt. A #1 New York Times Bestseller and an Oprah’s Book Club Pick\, American Dirt is already being hailed as “a Grapes of Wrath for our times” and “a new American classic.” Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son\, Luca\, the love of her life\, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. Forced to flee\, Lydia and eight-year-old Luca soon find themselves miles and worlds away from their comfortable middle-class existence. Instantly transformed into migrants\, Lydia and Luca ride la bestia—trains that make their way north toward the United States. Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to? Jeanine Cummins’s American Dirt is a rare exploration into the inner hearts of people willing to sacrifice everything for a glimmer of hope. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future\, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead\, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these\, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband\, her child\, her freedom\, and even her own name\, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire\, an ominous warning\, and a tour de force of narrative suspense\, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. Get more information on how to use zoom

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: James Baldwin’s Go Tell It On The Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is James Baldwin’s GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN. Go Tell It On The Mountain\, first published in 1953\, is James Baldwin’s first major work\, a novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision\, psychological directness\, resonating symbolic power\, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate\, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy’s discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin’s rendering of his protagonist’s spiritual\, sexual\, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. You will be provided the Zoom link when you register.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! Our next book will be Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides. \nFirst published in 1993\, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb of Detroit\, the five Lisbon sisters–beautiful\, eccentric\, and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys–commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar\, transfixed\, they piece together the mystery of the family’s fatal melancholy\, in this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love\, disquiet\, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola\, The Virgin Suicides is a modern classic\, a lyrical and timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. CLICK HERE for more information on how to use zoom.

Monumental like an altarpiece\, they inflame the spirit; illuminated like a tapestry\, they give shape to immortal stories. Yet\, Dzikiewicz’s work refuses a singular order. Using ancient wax techniques to explore present-day topics\, Dzikiewicz is unflinching. She strikes hot\, skewering the heart of the difficult issues she addresses\, including themes of violence\, racism\, and misogyny. As a resident of the Workhouse Arts Center\, the grief and triumph of the once imprisoned Suffragists serve as the inspiration for her contemporary tales of women who fight for change or the issues that inspire modern activists.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Joan Didion's Play It as It Lays
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Joan Didion’s PLAY IT AS IT LAYS. A ruthless dissection of American life in the late 1960s\, Joan Didion’s Play It as It Lays captures the mood of an entire generation\, the ennui of contemporary society reflected in spare prose that blisters and haunts the reader. Set in a place beyond good and evil—literally in Hollywood\, Las Vegas\, and the barren wastes of the Mojave Desert\, but figuratively in the landscape of an arid soul—it remains more than three decades after its original publication a profoundly disturbing novel\, riveting in its exploration of a woman and a society in crisis and stunning in the still-startling intensity of its prose. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. CLICK HERE for more information on how to use zoom

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Edda Glass and Max Hatt
DESCRIPTION:Max Hatt / Edda Glass have “an incomparable spook” (Nashville Scene) and “a unique sound” (Larry Groce\, NPR)\, comprised of Glass’s unmistakable voice and Hatt’s lyrical guitar. Originally based in Montana\, their award-winning original music and unique interpretations of American and Brazilian standards have taken them all the way to New York City’s Lincoln Center\, DC’s Kennedy Center\, NPR Mountain Stage\, Sundance Film Fest and Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. Praised for her “impeccable vocal command” (PopMatters) and compared to a gamut of singers from Astrud Gilberto to Billie Holiday\, Glass’s voice is ultimately “one of a kind…you cannot confuse her with another artist” (New York Theatre Guide). Hatt’s equally distinctive guitar work combines the harmonic innovations of jazz with the melodic resonance of folk\, creating music that’s “subtly poignant\, elegantly funky\, and haunting without trying to be” (Nels Cline\, Wilco). Together\, Max Hatt / Edda Glass evoke a world that stretches from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the prairies of the American west\, telling stories of little people on great plains\, and leaving audiences with a feeling both light and deep.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - The Ladies of Laughter
DESCRIPTION:The Ladies of Laughter Funny & Fabulous Tour includes winners and the best talent from its national competition. What started out as an annual videotape comedy competition over 20 years ago in New York to honor a fellow women in comedy who helped so many women get their start\, has established itself as the CAREERBUILDER FOR WOMEN IN COMEDY. \nSince its inaugural year when the contest went “live” in a YWCA in New Jersey\, The Ladies of Laughter contest has visited legendary venues including legendary theaters\, Caesars and even Madison Square Garden.  Past participants include Amy Schumer\, Tammy Pescatelli and “Big Bang Theory” star\, Melissa Rauch\, among countless others. This show will include: \nRobin Fox\nWinner of the 2012 Ladies of Laughter Competition held at Gotham Comedy Club\, NYC\, New Jersey Stand-Up Comedian\, Robin Fox spent 17 years as a full-time mom and dieting. Then one day\, Robin gave up dieting and decided to make her life long dream of being a comedian a reality. Today she is happier than she can ever remember and will never look back! Original and funny\, she talks from her heart about the frustrations of suburban living\, marriage\, and raising a family. No longer is she willing to just be the funniest mom on her New Jersey cul-de-sac.

Robin was a “Hot Topic” of Conversation on ABC’s “The View.” \nLeighann Lord\nSmart\, sexy\, savvy\, and funny\, Leighann Lord’s “heads up humor” is stand-up comedy at it’s finest. Inspired by the brilliance of George Carlin\, the smooth jazz style of Franklyn Ajaye\, and the elegance of Rita Rudner\, Leighann has crafted her own unique brand of Thinking Cap Comedy.

In The Netherlands\, she was a guest on the popular late night talk show Raymann is Late! and The Comedy Factory. A festival favorite\, Leighann has been featured in the Trinidad\, Montreal\, Winnipeg\, Halifax\, Boston\, Detroit and NYC Underground Comedy Festivals. She also entertained U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan\, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia during Operation Enduring Freedom\, as well as troops helping the Haitian earthquake relief effort (Operation Unified Response) \nErin Maguire\nErin Maguire is a NYC based stand-up comic\, actor\, writer\, and emcee.

SUMMARY:The Beatles' Let It Be - Record Club\, Virtual Edition
DESCRIPTION:In accordance with University and CDC guidelines we have decided to continue with Record Club in virtual format using the ZOOM app. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. Click here for more information on how to use zoom. \nIt’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology\, the way we consume music through our devices\, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora\, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss. This event will feature The Beatles’ Let It Be. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required.
