VIRTUAL: The Audacious Adventures of Nellie Bly

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** In late 1889, a young reporter named Nelly Bly set out to accomplish what others had only dreamed of, to make the fantasy of Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in Eighty Days a reality. 72 days after departing Hoboken, she arrived back in New Jersey on January 25th, 1890 as the first person -- man or woman -- to circle the globe with such speed. But Bly’s story is even more remarkable: As one of Joseph Pulitzer’s prize reporters, she spent years documenting the lives of America’s underclass. The first story to put her in the forefront was a remarkable account of her experience in a “madhouse.” Posing as a mentally unstable woman, Bly spent ten harrowing days in the most infamous asylum in New York City. Her expose of the horrors she witnessed and experienced shook the city and America to the core. This would be the first of many stories Bly would write as a covert reporter, single-handedly creating a whole new genre of journalism: Underground investigative reporting. Led by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, a retired college professor who taught a variety of Arts and Humanities courses for 32 years at several New York universities and colleges, including St. John's University and Dowling College. He holds a Ph.D. in English, with minors in theater, art history and music history. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Presented in collaboration with the Groton Library. NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.

VIRTUAL: A History Of Dance In Movies

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** The movies and dancing are a partnership born in heaven. From its very beginnings, the new medium of motion pictures turned toward dance as one of best ways to showcase its unique ability to make movement come alive. And through the decades, it’s been dancing on the big screen that has provided some of the most ecstatic moments in film history—whether it’s Fred Astaire gliding on the ceiling in Royal Wedding, the Nicholas Brothers leaping down a staircase in Stormy Weather, Moira Shearer pirouetting through the dreamscape of The Red Shoes, or John Travolta burning up the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever. Employing more than 75 video clips, this talk will survey 130 years of thrilling movie dance performances and discuss how the cinema helped change the nature of dance. Led by Brian Rose, a professor emeritus at Fordham University, where he taught for 38 years in the Department of Communication and Media Studies. Rose has written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A’s with leading directors, actors, and writers for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Directors Guild of America. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded.

VIRTUAL: TEWKSBURY WRITING GROUP -- Advice From Author David Daniel

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.** Are you a writer -- or an aspiring writer -- looking for some support? The Tewksbury Writing Group is open to everyone who's interested in writing -- all genres, all skill levels. Each meeting -- which will take place via Zoom -- features a guest speaker (typically a published author or editor) offering some tips of the trade. The May 2024 guest speaker is author David Daniel. David was born in Boston and grew up in Weymouth. He studied variously at Eastern Nazarene College, the University of Maine, and the University of Oregon. Drafted, David served in the Army as a journalist. Beginning in his early 20s he traveled widely, spending time in over twenty countries, and worked at more a dozen jobs. These include clamdigger, tennis instructor, carpenter, and brain slicer in the neuropathology lab at Harvard Medical School, all of which he considers valuable experience for writing and for teaching, which became a paired profession. He taught literature and writing at several colleges and universities, including the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, where he was the Jack Kerouac Visiting Writer in Residence. He capped his teaching career working at an inner-city charter high school for at-risk students. David is author of more than a dozen books, including entries in the St. Martin’s Press prize-winning Alex Rasmussen mystery series: The Heaven Stone, The Skelly Man, Goofy Foot, and The Marble Kite. Other novels include White Rabbit, a novel of the Sixties. His newest book, Beach Town, a collection of short stories, is a bittersweet look at the loves and losses of characters, young and old, living in a coastal town. He reviews books at https://artsfuse.org and is a regular contributor to https://richardhowe.com. The group is facilitated by author Dale T. Phillips, a New England writer, who spent his formative years in Maine, and has lived and worked in a number of different places. He graduated from the University of Maine, studied writing with Stephen King, and has worked for over thirty years as a Technical Writer in a number of major industries, translating the work of software developers into clear instructions for using computer software. Dale has published novels, over 70 short stories, collections, articles, jokes, and poetry, and has appeared on stage, television, and in an independent feature film. He has also appeared on two nationally televised quiz shows, "Jeopardy" and "Think Twice." Dale co-wrote and acted in a short political satire film, "The Nine." He has traveled to all 50 states and a number of countries, spanning half the globe, from Hawaii to Greece, and now lives with his family in Massachusetts. Learn more about Dale and his work at www.daletphillips.com. Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 24-48 hours of the program.
