Shakespeare's birthday & Famous New Jerseyans this week @ Warren

The Warren Township Library presents:

Method & Madness: Shakespeare for Today– Thursday, April 24 at 7 PM.

In honor of Shakespeare's 450th birthday, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey Director of Education and resident director Brian B. Crowe will explore the 'method and madness' of producing the Bard's canon in the 21st century, including selecting and adapting material, developing a production concept, and inspiring a love of Shakespeare in the younger generation. 'Peek behind the curtain' as Crowe shares a unique perspective from the longest-running Shakespeare theater on the East Coast and New Jersey's largest professional theatre company dedicated to Shakespeare's canon and other classic masterworks.

Famous and Not so Famous New Jerseyans – Saturday, April 26 at 2 PM.

Charismatic History Channel commentator, historian Bill Chemerka will give a lively and entertaining presentation about Famous and Not-so-Famous New Jerseyans. There have been many famous people who have been born in New Jersey, and others who were born elsewhere but made a name for themselves while residing here. And there are still others who called New Jersey home and helped create unique moments in our history. Test your knowledge about local history and popular culture, in this program which is part of the library's celebration of the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Garden State.
