Salsa Magic – Dance History, Lessons, and Competition

Why go to the club when Salsa Magic can bring it to your dorm or living room? Using our Pro Zoom Web Video service, Lee “El Gringuito” Smith and Kat La Gata, professional Latin dancers and founders of Salsa Magic who have taught over 250,000 College students and traveled to over 800+ cities, will create a fun, interactive, educational experience. The virtual show will start with interactive lessons in Merengue, Bachata & Salsa! Students will have a chance to show off their moves for virtual gift cards. Lee & Kat will perform live and students can practice to a live DJ set by DJ Gringuito.

Virtual Tuesday Night Record Club: Bruce Springsteen: The River

We have decided to continue with Record Club in virtual format using the ZOOM app. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology, the way we consume music through our devices, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss. This event will feature Bruce Springsteen: The River.

Free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Lauren K. Woods Theatre

The play is set in the backyard of two adjoining houses in the working class neighborhood of South Philadelphia. They are about to celebrate the 21st birthday of Francis Geminiani, a Harvard student, when two classmate friends from Harvard and Yale, Judith and Randy, show up unexpectedly. Since there isn’t a spare bedroom in either house they pitch a tent in the backyard. Francis’ classmates, the wealthy Judith seeks romance with Francis not realizing that her brother Randy is the object of Francis’ unexpressed affection. Each of the characters in the play are dysfunctional to some degree and their celebration of Francis’ birthday brings out the best of comedy and drama. The birthday party is a series of comic incidents that provide laughter and serious realizations that lead up to the final joyous ending. The crazy fast moving celebration leaves each character a bit wiser and happier having celebrated Francis’ 21st birthday. 

Tickets: $20 (adults); $15 (seniors)

Comedy Night with Ian Lara

Ian Lara is really just a regular guy from Queens, New York. He started Comedy right after college because he didn’t feel like going to Law School and he’s loved every second of it. Usually you can catch him performing every night in some of the best and worse shows in New York City, or he’s on the road at a club or college near you. Ian Lara will probably be a household name but really all he wants is to get big enough where he can wear those big hats Pharrel wears to awards shows.

Presented as part of Hispanic Heritage Month at Monmouth University
