The 55-Plus Club of Princeton will meet at 10 a.m., Thursday, November 2, 2023, at the Jewish Center of Princeton, 435 Nassau Street, Princeton. Gerry Pomper, Board of Governors Professor of Political Science at the Eagleton Institute of Politics of Rutgers University (Emeritus), will speak on "The Presidential Elections of 2020 and 2024." We will meet in person and via Zoom. To join online, visit http://www.princetonol.com/groups/55plus.

Meetings are free, with a suggested donation of $5 (see website for payment options). Professor Pomper will discuss whether the presidential election of 2020 is the prelude to a fundamental crisis of American democracy. The Trump administration weakened the constitutional constraints of U.S. politics, culminating in a plot and fermented riot intended to overturn the election results.

I Dreamed I Was Free: 2023 Fall Fundraising Gala, Witherspoon Jackson Historical and Cultural Society

Thursday November 2, 2023
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Witherspoon Jackson Historical and Cultural Society (WJHCS) will hold its annual fundraising gala at Morven. It will be open to members of the public with tickets.

I Dreamed I Was Free, a critically acclaimed one-man play about John Woolman, who spoke out against slavery over a century before the Civil War was written by Rich Swingle and is performed by him. The play has received positive reviews from newspapers and magazines around the world.

A Hot Seat which will follow the performance of the play allows John Woolman to field questions from the audience. Swingle stays in character, answering questions that arise for any of the characters he plays in the play. This can be as powerful as the play itself, allowing audience members to explore the themes that stirred them. There will be a complimentary wine and snack reception in the lobby after the performance. *Ticket Cost: Students/Seniors, $25; General Admission, $50; Preferred Seating (Second Row), $75; VIP (Front Row), $100.
