Mrs. Gould Welcomes Charlie Chaplin

First appearing on stage at the age of 14, Londoner Charles Spencer Chaplin catapulted onto the American film screen in 1913. He quickly eschewed the Hollywood studio system and began producing his own films, followed by the formation of United Artists with Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith, and Douglas Fairbanks, starting with A Woman of Paris in 1923, a dramatic turn that he directed. Chaplin soon achieved worldwide star status in such films as The Gold Rush and Modern Times. He proudly wrote the musical scores for most of his films, maintaining as much creative control as he could of his works. This film icon will regale Mrs. Gould with his professional triumphs and personal tragedies.

Steal Away: The Story of a Homesteader and an Exoduster

Written and performed by Penny Musco, Steal Away is a dramatic monologue about the greatest black migration about which few have heard. Set in 1880, it’s told from the perspective of Priscilla, a white woman who leaves New Jersey to homestead Kansas with her husband and children. There she crosses paths with Abigail and her family, who are among the estimated 30,000 former slaves who sought refuge in the Midwest and Great Plains. The refugees related their flight to the Biblical exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt.

The show’s title is taken from the Negro spiritual of the same name, which was code for a slave’s intention to escape. It was originally performed at the Homestead National Monument of America by Ms. Musco, who is primarily a nonfiction writer. Her work has appeared in Guideposts, New Jersey Monthly, The New York Times, USA Weekly, Mature Living, and The San Francisco Chronicle. In addition to Steal Away, her other fictional work includes the short stories “Shepherd’s Story” and “The Sleeping Bag.” Ms. Musco resides in Montclair, New Jersey.

Monty Python’s Spamalot

The winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, Monty Python’s Spamalot is the outrageous musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the big-screen comedy classic Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Spamalot follows the misadventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their quest for the Holy Grail. It’s all here—flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen, beautiful showgirls, and show-stopping musical numbers—just a few of the reasons audiences everywhere are eating up Spamalot. The New Yorker calls Spamalot “a no-holds-barred smash hit,” and The Sunday Times declares that the show “raises silliness to an art form!”

Guests will enjoy a buffet brunch on campus before boarding a bus to see the matinee show at NJPAC. Prior to the performance, ticketholders are invited to a free Artisan Marketplace exhibition and sale in the Prudential Hall lobby.

Disney’s magical Beauty and the Beast was a phenomenal success on Broadway, and now it makes its NJPAC debut.

Beauty and the Beast tells the enchanting story of Belle, a determined young woman in a provincial town, and her beloved Beast—who’s really a handsome young prince trapped by a spell that can only be broken by the power of love. This classic musical love story is filled with unforgettable characters, lavish sets and costumes, and dazzling production numbers including “Be Our Guest” and the popular title song.

Headline Speaker: Mary Frances Berry, Ph.D., presenting The State of the Civil Rights Movement in a Post-Cosby Society

There are few like Mary Frances Berry. For over four decades, she has been one of the most recognized and respected voices in our nation’s civil rights, gender equality, and social justice agendas. Fighting for fairness and justice under four presidential administrations, she led the way as chair of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission for many years.

Dr. Berry also served as Assistant Secretary for Education in the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. One of the founders of the Free South Africa Movement, she was the first woman to head a major research university, the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Lauded by many honorary degrees and awards, including recognition as one of “America’s Women of the Century” by the Women’s Hall of Fame, Dr. Berry is never one to rest on her laurels. She continues to speak boldly for those who can’t speak for themselves. Her vision of social freedom and equality, her wisdom and candor, assure her place in the future agenda of America.

Now the Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought at the University of Pennsylvania, she teaches history and law. Her most recent book, And Justice for All: The United States Commission on Civil Rights and the Struggle For Freedom in America (2009), follows in the footsteps of her numerous other groundbreaking books.

With fierce determination, Dr. Berry never backs down. She educates, transforms, and inspires us all. Her clarion call challenges everyone to stand up, get it, and to never give up the fight.

Little Town of Bethlehem Screening and Discussion

Sponsored by the GCU Department of Religious Studies, Theology, and Philosophy, this documentary follows the story of three men of three different faiths and their lives in Israel and Palestine. The story explores each man’s choice of nonviolent action amidst a culture of overwhelming violence

The film examines the struggle to promote equality through nonviolent engagement in the midst of incredible violence. Sami’s story begins as a young boy living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank; Yonatan’s starts on an Israeli military base; and Ahmad’s begins in a Palestinian refugee camp.

Their stories are woven through the major events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, starting with the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics and following through the first Intifada, suicide bombings in Israel, the Oslo Accords, the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, and the second Intifada. Sami, Yonatan, and Ahmad each describe the events from their unique perspective and explain how these events led them to become involved in the nonviolence movement.

A panel discussion will follow the 75-minute screening.

In commemoration of Holocaust Awareness Week 2011, readings from the actual diaries and remembrances of victims and their families will be combined with video clips from films and news reports during this multimedia presentation. Included will be the reflections of Immaculée Ilibagiza, Dith Pran, Elie Weisel, Paul Rusesabagina, Anne Frank, and many more whose names are not as well known. Memories of the greatest crimes against humanity are often filled with the greatest of hope, and this thought-provoking presentation aims to be a reminder that genocides are not only part of our history, but our present as well.

COST: FREE; seating is limited; reservations required.

Film Screening: The Killing Fields (1984)

In 1970, the Khmer Rouge, a group of Cambodian Communists, began a large-scale insurgency against their government, quickly gaining control over more than two-thirds of the country. The Khmer Rouge was over 30,000 strong when they took control of the government in 1975. During their rule, it is estimated that two million Cambodians died by starvation, torture, or execution.

The Killing Fields is the true story of Dith Pran, a Cambodian native and war correspondent, and Sydney Schanberg, a New York Times correspondent trapped in Cambodia, who were arrested and sentenced to execution, but eventually released. Exiled to the “killing fields”—the forced labor camps in the Cambodian countryside—Pran endured starvation and torture for four years. In October 1979, Pran escaped to Thailand and to freedom. But his life was forever changed—he lost over 50 relatives in the holocaust, including his father, three brothers, one sister, and their families. The film, which stars Sam Waterston as Schanberg and Oscar winner Haing S. Ngor as Pran, received 26 awards, including three Academy Awards and a Special Award from the Political Film Society.


DATE: May 3 (Tuesday); 6:30 PM


Film Screening: Hotel Rwanda (2004)

Ten years ago, some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda—and in an era of high-speed communication and round-the-clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man, Paul Rusesabagina, summoned extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand Tutsi and moderate Hutu refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia, by granting them shelter in the hotel he managed.

This true story stars Don Cheadle as Paul Rusesabagina and Nick Nolte as Colonel Oliver. The film was nominated for dozens of awards, including three Academy Awards and three Golden Globes, and received the Humanitas Prize for a Feature Film and a PFS Award for Human Rights from the Political Film Society.

Women about Women: An Evening with Authors on Suffrage

Meet the authors of recent books about two extraordinary American women. Loretta Cody ’02 is the author of A Mighty Social Force: Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford 1829–1921. Mary Walton has just published A Woman’s Crusade: Alice Paul and the Battle for the Ballot.

Quaker authors and feminists Alice Paul of New Jersey and Phebe Hanaford of Massachusetts were early contributors to the women’s rights movement. Paul, a suffragist committed to nonviolence, was a passionate leader in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Suffragist Hanaford, born a Quaker, later a Universalist minister who served in Jersey City, officiated at the funerals of women’s rights leaders Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Sponsored by the Sister Mary Joseph Cunningham Library at GCU, the presentations will also feature historical photographs. A book signing will follow in the library.

You Be the Chef: The GCU Cooking Show

Being a “foodie” has never been more popular, but why should you pay more for high-end meals when YOU can be the chef? Take part in the fun as classically trained chefs from Georgian Court University’s Dining Services give you the tools to command your own kitchen. You’ll also learn to make things you might never have otherwise considered without a little coaching.

Demonstrations include instruction, take-home recipes, and, of course, a chance to eat what is created. Please note that due to legal restrictions, the shows are not “hands-on,” but will be fun nonetheless.

The Easter Show

Breaking the Mold: Women Painters

Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755–18442) was a rare female member of the Academie Royale. Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749–1803) enrolled at the Academie de St. Luc at the age of 20. Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) disdained traditional female conventions, and Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807) spearheaded the establishment of the British Royal Academy.

Raphael

One of the three great Italian Renaissance masters, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483–1520), known simply as Raphael, never married and led a nomadic life, but his travels and affairs of the heart influenced his work in printmaking, painting, architecture, and drawings. Raphael died early at age 37, but created a lasting body of work far beyond his short life.



COST: $37 per person; includes a multicourse Italian dinner and a multimedia lecture; reservations required.

Gustave Courbet

Leading the Realist movement, Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) created a bridge between Impressionism and Romanticism. His salons were known to be spirited and critical exhibitions and exchanges. Courbet was an independent thinker whose extreme politics affected his work and resulted in his exile from France. His physical and psychological alienations are reflected in some of his most famous paintings.

Jerome Kern

Jerome Kern’s incomparable melodic gifts made him a towering figure in an age that also boasted Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, and Cole Porter. Kern standards include “Look for the Silver Lining, Who?,” “The Night Was Made For Love,” “The Song Is You,” “I’ve Told Every Little Star,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” “Lovely to Look at,” “I’m Old Fashioned,” “All The Things You Are,” and the remarkable score of Show Boat. Both Richard Rodgers and George Gershwin considered Kern their musical hero and greatest predecessor. Time has proven that Kern was the one great figure who made the golden age of the Broadway musical possible.



COST: $37 per person; includes a multicourse dinner and presentation; reservations required.

Rodgers and Hart

Beginning in 1919, two schoolboys, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, turned Broadway and the entire world on its collective ear, cavalierly sweeping aside dusty, lace-lined Edwardian sentiment for something that was eternally fresh, witty, poignant, heartbreaking, topical, romantic, sexy, brilliantly crafted, and distinctively Rodgers and Hart. The songwriting duo made Broadway and American Popular Song grow up once and for all with the musicals On Your Toes, Pal Joey, A Connecticut Yankee, and dozens of other favorites. Their songs of romance—requited and otherwise—will never go out of favor as long as people seek love.

Armchair Travel: Italy 10:00 AM–12:00 NOON Instructor: Lisa Festa, Ph.D., GCU Assistant Professor of Art History

Europe’s Renaissance period began in Italy during the 14th and 15th centuries. The painting, sculpture, and architecture contributed by giants such as da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, and Michelangelo exerted a tremendous and lasting influence on the subsequent development of Western civilization. In this four-part series, learn about the art and culture of Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome,

and Naples. Museums, monuments, and the histories of these major Italian cities will be highlighted.

Lunch 12:00 NOON–1:00 PM

The Music of Italy 1:00–3:00 PM Instructor: Maestro Anthony LaGruth, Conductor and Artistic Director, Garden State Philharmonic

Known for its bountiful contributions to culture, Italy and its musicians have had a profound influence on the world of music. Italian is often referred to as a singing language, so it is no wonder that it is nearly synonymous with opera. In our weeklong exploration of Italian music and musicians, we will delve into the world of opera and symphony, examining the works of master composers such as Rossini, Verdi, and Puccini. Learn how Italian culture influenced composers such as Mendelssohn

and Mozart, and take a look at the lives of great Italian performers, too.

Explore the art, music, and culture of Italy without leaving New Jersey in this four-day event.



Th e McAuley Institute for Lifelong LearningIn 2009, Georgian Court University launched an exciting new program tailored for women and men ages 50 and over who want to take advantage of college-level courses on our beautiful, historic campus without the hassle of tests, grades, or credits. If you want to continue the joy of learning in a stimulating intellectual environment with others who share your passion for the topic, then the McAuley Institute for Lifelong Learning is for you. Special five- to seven-week courses are taught in a friendly and informal learning environment. This semester, we have expanded our programming to include shorter courses and one-day workshops and events.

The McAuley Institute is designed for more mature students, who are not necessarily well served by the standard continuing education curriculum. Such programs tend to attract students of all ages eager to accumulate units to complete degrees or to acquire career upgrade skills. By contrast, this institute allows more senior students to continue educational and cultural pursuits without homework or examinations. Insight, knowledge, discussion, friendship—these are the hallmarks of the McAuley Institute for Lifelong Learning.

An annual membership fee of $25 opens the door to thought-provoking topics taught by experienced instructors year round. Institute members will have a chance to suggest future courses from literature and history to art and music. Members will also have opportunities for volunteer leadership by serving on an advisory committee, evaluating courses, arranging special events, and more.

The McAuley Institute, now completing its second year, offers nearly 20 new courses covering diverse subject areas. Register by mail with the form on the right, or online at www.georgian.edu/mcauley.

The McAuley Institute for Lifelong Learning is grateful for the support of our sponsors.

Beethoven: The Man and His MusicInstructor: Maestro Anthony LaGruth, GCU Lecturer in Music and Conductor and Artistic Director, Garden State Philharmonic

As a child, he had terrible stomachaches and endured a difficult home life. He lost his hearing at an early age, was a bit of a slob, and had very bad hair days…every day. But Beethoven was a genius of the first order, and his impact on the world of music was immense. His creations are sublime, powerful, and revolutionary, and his life story and his work are inseparable. Through lectures, listening, and class discussions, you will learn about Beethoven’s human

side and how he overcame great adversity to produce some of the most lasting monuments in Western musical culture. You’ll also study tips and techniques for listening to classical music, and learn to place the artist and his output in a historical context.

Great Women of the Bible: Ruth, Naomi, and EstherInstructor: Marian Gambino, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University

In the troublesome days of Old Testament history, three women stand out. Ruth, whose struggle for survival is tempered with fierce love, devotion, and family values, helped her mother-in-law Naomi work through bitterness stemming from her tragedy-filled life. Esther’s courageous acts saved her people from annihilation but required her to evaluate her moral and ethical decisions. Their stories of challenge and power raise issues of justice, mercy, and faith that parallel our lives today.

Patriot LadiesInstructor: Doreen Bove ’09, Lecturer, McAuley Institute for Lifelong Learning

American women have played decisive roles in the development of the republic. From the time of the American Revolution, they served in our armed forces, working as combatants and as camp followers, providing services that were essential and often undervalued. Long before they gained the right to vote, they served as members of diplomatic legations and political hostesses who worked to advance the policies and interests of their government. They were advocates for social reform. They ran family businesses, raised and educated children, managed farms and markets when their husbands and fathers left home, and often died, all to establish and preserve the United States. Join us as we celebrate the contributions of a diverse group of patriot women from the time of the Revolution through the War of 1812. Without the contributions of Mercy Otis Warren, Eliza Pinckney, Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Deborah Franklin, Rebecca Gratz, and Louise Livingstone, our present-day American democracy would be less just, less compassionate, and less willing to embrace sacrifice for the common good.

British History and Culture through Its Castles and PalacesInstructor: Hannah Means-Shannon, Ph.D., GCU Lecturer in English

Explore British culture and history from 1066 to 1880, and examine each phase of history through an exploration of a historical property, its inhabitants, and its role in the life of the nation. We will begin with a Norman castle, illustrating the age of conquest and the role of its owner. Next, we’ll move on to a 12th-century, “high medieval” royal castle. We’ll also study a 15th-century castle, a 17th-century palatial home, and finally, a 19th-century home belonging to the royal family. For each epoch, we will tour the literature, religion, and fashion of the times as we chart major social developments. While this course will primarily enrich an understanding of British literature, history, and culture, it also serves as a great introduction to historical properties—all open to the public—for your future travels!

The MediciInstructors: Robin Gower, Ph.D., J.D., GCU Professor of History, and Doreen Bove, Lecturer, McAuley Institute for Lifelong Learning

The Medici family was a Renaissance archetype—their names conjure up the financial ingenuity, literary grace, artistic innovation, political opportunism, and social flamboyance of the age. They were bankers, manufacturers, citizens, queens, dukes, popes, and princes. They were poets and patrons of the arts. They were also level-headed gamblers, ready to risk money, power, and their very lives to maintain balance through the tumultuous events and unpredictable changes of course in northern Italy from the 14th through 16th centuries. Attacked by thugs who were hired by business rivals, bankrupted by deadbeat clients (including popes), and savagely critiqued by religious reactionaries, they returned again and again to lead the city of Florence, the financial institutions of Europe, and the royal court of France. Join in the conversation as we follow the Medici family through this thrilling period, examining their roles in virtually every aspect of Renaissance life.

Embroiled in Controversy: The Career of General George Smith PattonInstructor: John Palmer, Korean War veteran, Treasurer of the Monmouth County VFW, President of the Medical Professionals Service Company, and retired human resources specialist

A graduate of West Point, George Smith Patton was from a family of soldiers. A pentathlete in the 1912 Olympics, he began his life of controversy by challenging his scores in shooting. After showing outstanding leadership with General Pershing in Mexico, Patton requested a combat command in World War I at the age of 32. He continued to receive promotions and when the United States’ involvement in World War II became evident, “Old Blood and Guts” became legendary for his harsh training tactics and “at all odds” attitude. Though debated, his training methods resulted in extremely low casualty rates among his soldiers. Join us in studying the public achievements and gaffes and private struggles of this fascinating leader.
