TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch is pleased to present “Washed on the Shore,” environmentally energized art by Alexander Taylor, in the McConnell Gallery throughout the months of May, June and July.
The New York City-born artist and actor describes his exhibit as an invitation to “reflect, reconnect, and remember that where there is water, there is life – and with it, the hope for renewal.” He describes his artistic philosophy as “empathy, ecology and the interconnectedness of life – ‘ecosystem over egotism’.”
Alexander takes his affinity a step further, mixing purified water from the Atlantic Ocean into his palette for striking colors and textures and thought-provoking interpretations of the beauty, power and vulnerability of the sea and its inhabitants.
“After I collect ocean water, I boil it three times,” he said. “The remaining elements change the nature and tone of my acrylics and watercolors. Owners of my paintings actually have a little bit of the Atlantic Ocean on their…

Registration is required for this free, virtual lecture. Go to: https://bit.ly/PlanetaryTalk
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside of the Solar System. Many of these planets have properties that are drastically different from the eight in our Solar System. To understand the diversity of planetary properties and ultimately answer the question of how our own planet came to be, we must study the conditions under which planets form. Planets are born in protoplanetary disks, which consist of gas, dust, and ice orbiting very young stars. Recent observations of disks with telescopes such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-millimeter Array, the Very Large Telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope are playing a critical role in unveiling the chemistry and physics of planet formation. Dr. Huang will discuss their key discoveries as well as some of the mysteries of planet formation that remain open.

Join us for Night Four of the 27th annual MATA Festival! The centerpiece for Night Four is George Lewis’s String Quartet 1.5 "Experiments in Living” from 2016; Lewis's first string quartet. He says of the work, “I take ‘Experiments in Living,’ a phrase from John Stuart Mill, to express my notion of recombinant assemblage, associative sonic discourses that appear and recur in ever new forms and guises, suffused with the power of noise. . . I’m looking for listeners to experience the volatility of memory, resistance, and hope." Night Four includes seven works by 2025 MATA Festival Early-Career composers, all exploring what lies beyond our perception – from a sextet encapsulating vivid dreams during the pandemic to a work exploring the reciprocity of presence and absence – performed by FLUX Quartet, Ensemble LPR led by conductor Tito Muñoz, soprano Majel Connery, pianists Erika Dohi, Paul Kerekes, and Han Chen, and baritone Oshay LeGare.

Father Anonymous
Father Anonymous is an Off-Broadway play that will debut in New York City from Friday, June 13 to Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at AMT Theater, located at 354 West 45th Street.

Opening on the eve of the Boston Massacre (1770) and closing with Joseph’s martyrdom at Bunker Hill (1775), this drama can remind a divided Nation of Constitutional principles that transcend politics – and a larger-than-life person, largely forgotten, to celebrate in common and guide us.

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.
“I grew up in a military family. My dad, uncle and grandfather all served. So I have always had a very healthy respect for the military and its traditions,”…

How can we use food to refocus the global narrative around the Trans community away from that of hostility and towards one of care and celebration? What role does food play in building and sustaining the Trans community? How can food-making spaces nurture the social bonds that empower Trans people to create, dream, and rejoice?
Moderated by Dubbs Weinblatt, this conversation brings together Telly Justice, Gabrielle Inès Souza, Luna Vela, and Skylar Mosca as they discuss what it means to move through the world as Trans people and how food is pivotal to their careers, from the joy of cooking as self-expression to the necessity of food access for survival.
Tickets include access to Flavor: The World to Your Brain from 6 to 7 PM, bites from Dacha 46, cocktails from Anytime Spritz, and N/A cocktails from Aplós.
If you identify as Trans or genderqueer/nonbinary and work in food, please reach out to operations@mofad.org for reduced admission.

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch is pleased to present “Washed on the Shore,” environmentally energized art by Alexander Taylor, in the McConnell Gallery throughout the months of May, June and July.
The New York City-born artist and actor describes his exhibit as an invitation to “reflect, reconnect, and remember that where there is water, there is life – and with it, the hope for renewal.” He describes his artistic philosophy as “empathy, ecology and the interconnectedness of life – ‘ecosystem over egotism’.”
Alexander takes his affinity a step further, mixing purified water from the Atlantic Ocean into his palette for striking colors and textures and thought-provoking interpretations of the beauty, power and vulnerability of the sea and its inhabitants.
“After I collect ocean water, I boil it three times,” he said. “The remaining elements change the nature and tone of my acrylics and watercolors. Owners of my paintings actually have a little bit of the Atlantic Ocean on their…

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.

Father Anonymous
Father Anonymous is an Off-Broadway play that will debut in New York City from Friday, June 13 to Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at AMT Theater, located at 354 West 45th Street. The play tells the story of America’s forgotten founder Dr. Joseph Warren and his more famous friends, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere. Opening on the eve of the Boston Massacre (1770) and closing with Joseph’s martyrdom at Bunker Hill (1775), this drama can remind a divided Nation of Constitutional principles that transcend politics – and a larger-than-life person, largely forgotten, to celebrate in common and guide us.
Tickets are available for $30-$70 + taxes and fees. For more information, tickets and news, visit https://fatheranonymousplay.com.
