Knitters Seek Yarn for Kids' Holiday Gifts at the OCL Manchester Branch
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP – The ball of yarn that you no longer need or want can bring warm smiles to the faces of Ocean County youngsters in need when the weather turns cold.

Each year, the knitting and crocheting group supports the Ocean County Health Department’s collection drive of gloves, mittens, hats and scarves, given at holiday time to children who use the services of OCHD’s various clinics. Yarn is essential for this worthy cause, and supplies are low.
Please help if you can, by dropping off spare skeins of yarn at the OCL Manchester Branch, 21 Colonial Drive. For more information, please call Senior Library Assistant Mary Bridges, (732) 657-7600 or email mbridges@theoceancountylibrary.org.

“Spirits” is an immersive theatrical experience, written by Scott Cramton, set in 1927 at Lou Zar’s Speakeasy. The tragic story focuses on Olive Thomas, an immigrant who recently moved to New York City with hopes of making a name for herself. Hopes aside, she cannot reach fame without a little help from beyond the veil. She makes a dreadful deal and soon becomes a lounge singer at Lou’s. Her popularity quickly rises, and apparitions haunt her as her deal begins to bend.
Masked audience members decide the fate of Olive Thomas as reapers prepare for her to break her promise. This two-hour experience will include complementary desserts and a cash bar for guests to enjoy. An untrustworthy narrator, Mr. Scratch will guide you through this twisted story and, by the end, you’ll be left wondering: are you truly alive, or are you a spirit?
At American Immersion Theater, we want every guest to enjoy their experience. This performance contains themes of death, grief, and supernatural elements that may not be suitable…

“Spirits” is an immersive theatrical experience, written by Scott Cramton, set in 1927 at Lou Zar’s Speakeasy. The tragic story focuses on Olive Thomas, an immigrant who recently moved to New York City with hopes of making a name for herself. Hopes aside, she cannot reach fame without a little help from beyond the veil. She makes a dreadful deal and soon becomes a lounge singer at Lou’s. Her popularity quickly rises, and apparitions haunt her as her deal begins to bend.
Masked audience members decide the fate of Olive Thomas as reapers prepare for her to break her promise. This two-hour experience will include complementary desserts and a cash bar for guests to enjoy. An untrustworthy narrator, Mr. Scratch will guide you through this twisted story and, by the end, you’ll be left wondering: are you truly alive, or are you a spirit?
At American Immersion Theater, we want every guest to enjoy their experience. This performance contains themes of death, grief, and supernatural elements that may not be suitable…

In this thrilling 90-minute show, Dr. Bonn reveals the insatiable, psychological hungers that drive the likes of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer to kill repeatedly with impunity and no remorse. He explains why the majority of serial killers are either psychopaths or sociopaths, how the two differ, and he reveals that every serial killer is compelled to murder by a unique fantasy need. He also explains how/why serial killers are able to successfully avoid apprehension, blend into a crowd and become invisible.

WARETOWN – A year ago, a small photo array in the Ocean County Library Waretown Branch honored several former military members in honor of Veterans Day. Today, thanks to community members who have added to it, the display fills an entire wall and is still growing.
Branch Manager Jennifer Lennon placed the first photos before Veterans Day 2023, a gesture for family members and friends who “wore the colors.” It caught the attention of patrons, visitors and neighbors who asked if they might contribute.
“We still have people coming in and taking time to look over the pictures,” Jennifer said. “They ask if everyone is local. Some ask to be added. It makes me happy every time it happens.”
There now are 55 images of local wartime and peacetime veterans, five times the size of the original display, complete with names, branches, and theaters of operation.

The powerful one-man stage play depicted his bruising childhood which included witnessing a gangland killing when he was nine years old. Palminteri played 18 characters and brought them all to life in his autobiographical play. His friends, enemies and family came alive on stage. Hollywood Studios went crazy after seeing it and offered him millions of dollars to turn it into a major movie.

He wanted to play Sonny and write the screenplay. Then one night Palminteri walked into his dressing room and sitting there was Robert De Niro who just saw the show. Robert DeNiro gave Palminteri the chance he was waiting for… And as they say in Hollywood the rest is history.

“Spirits” is an immersive theatrical experience, written by Scott Cramton, set in 1927 at Lou Zar’s Speakeasy. The tragic story focuses on Olive Thomas, an immigrant who recently moved to New York City with hopes of making a name for herself. Hopes aside, she cannot reach fame without a little help from beyond the veil. She makes a dreadful deal and soon becomes a lounge singer at Lou’s. Her popularity quickly rises, and apparitions haunt her as her deal begins to bend.
Masked audience members decide the fate of Olive Thomas as reapers prepare for her to break her promise. This two-hour experience will include complementary desserts and a cash bar for guests to enjoy. An untrustworthy narrator, Mr. Scratch will guide you through this twisted story and, by the end, you’ll be left wondering: are you truly alive, or are you a spirit?
At American Immersion Theater, we want every guest to enjoy their experience. This performance contains themes of death, grief, and supernatural elements that may not be suitable…
