New English Conversation Program

News

Our new ENGLISH IN ACTION Program starts in September!

ESU Monmouth County and the Atlantic Highlands Library will start a free English conversation program which matches English-speaking tutors with learners whose native language is not English. Learners must already know English, and seek to improve their conversational speaking skill. The program offers an informal setting for tutors and learners in the Atlantic Highlands public library. To learn more and to participate in the program, contact the Atlantic Highlands Library, 100 First Avenue, at 732-291-1956.

Everyone had a wonderful time at the ESU Monmouth County NJ Branch Spring Tea, held at Bingham Hall in Rumson, NJ May 20, 2018. The sun finally came out after several days of rain, making for a delightful afternoon. We were very honored to host as our special guests all three of our Shakespeare contest award-winners and their families: Devlin Stark, Shea Grant and Christiane. Refreshments included all the hot tea ☕️ you could drink, as well as assorted tea sandwiches, scones, and savory snacks.

ESU Monmouth Branch Visits Monmouth Players for "I Hate Hamlet"

Event Recap

The cast of "I Hate Hamlet", a play by Paul Rudnik

On April 29, ten ESU Monmouth Branch members visited the Monmouth Players in Navesink, NJ, for the first-ever branch partner event there, a production of the comedy "I Hate Hamlet". The venue was sold-out and the play was very funny. Audience members laughed and chuckled throughout, as the actors unfolded the wacky story and zany antics of a crisis-riddled would-be Shakespearean actor (Andrew Rally), a formerly-alive actual Shakespearean actor (John Barrymore), and their friends. Hilarity ensued. The Monmouth Players venue is the former home of an early 20th-century automobile magnate which was then converted into a library and then adapted for theatre. Refreshments were delicious and ample, and also free with paid admission, a deal not seen anywhere else. We look forward to next season and additional successful partner events with Monmouth Players.
