East Lynne Theater To Reschedule THE SOUTH JERSEY EXPERIENCE To 3/4

Due to the weather, "The South Jersey Experience: Civil War Biographies," that was supposed to take place in Salem, NJ on Thursday, Feb. 25, has been postponed until Thursday, March 4. The time is still 7:00pm, but because there has been so much interest in these panel discussions, the location has been changed to a larger venue: St. John's Episcopal Church, 76 Market St., Salem, NJ. The date for the Cape May presentation is still Thursday, March 25 at 7:00pm, and is slated for the Cape May Historical Society Museum, but a larger venue may have to be used. For updates on "The South Jersey Experience," contact the event's organizer, Tom Sims, Executive Director of The Cape May Film Society, 609-884-6700 or visit www.capemayfilm.org.

The presenters are the same in both locations: Jim Stephens, Deputy Director for Historic Cold Spring Village in Cape May; Joe Bilby, the Assistant Curator for the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey; Gayle Stahlhuth, Artistic Director of East Lynne Theater Company in Cape May, specializing in American history and literature; and Richard Veit, Professor at Monmouth University. The panel discussions will also be accompanied by a selection of period songs performed by Barry Tischler.

The entire presentation is being filmed for a new educational DVD that will be distributed to schools, libraries, and historical societies throughout Southern New Jersey. This program was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
