  • 4th Biennial Interdisciplinary Conference on Race

    The Monmouth University International Interdisciplinary Conference on
    Race     was founded by Dr. Julius O. Adekunle and Professor Hettie V. Williams.
    This conference evolved out of a series of conversations between Adekunle and
    Williams concerning the 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama as well as
    the changing definition of race in global societies. These discussions
    eventually culminated in the conference on race in November 2008. The first
    conference brought together more than 100 scholars from fifteen U.S. states,
    twelve nations, and four continents.

    We hope you can join us this year for some very timely conversations. Several events are free and open to the public. For registration information and a complete listing of events, please visit our web site.

    “In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking, now, heaven knows, ANYTHING GOES!” The classic American musical by Cole Porter will be the first musical presented in the fall semester at historic Woods Theatre by Monmouth University’s Department of Music and Theatre Arts. The show, which debuted in 1934, introduced such classic American standards as “You’re the Top”, “I Get A Kick Out of You”, and the title tune, “Anything Goes”. Proof of its popularity is the repeated revivals on Broadway, most recently in 2011 by the Roundabout Theatre Company in NYC.

  • National Theatre Live: Jane Eyre (Broadcast in HD)

    Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms.
    From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.
    This acclaimed re-imagining of Brontë’s masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic last year, when the story was performed over two evenings. Director Sally Cookson now brings her celebrated production to the National, presented as a single, exhilarating performance.

  • National Theatre Live: As You Like It (Broadcast in HD)

    With her father the Duke banished and in exile, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave their lives in the court behind them and journey into the Forest of Arden.
    There, released from convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation. Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a different way of living and falls spectacularly in love.
