(January 23, 2012) – The Westfield Memorial Library is pleased to present a one-woman, one-act play entitled, “The Story of Silvia Du Bois—A Slave Who Obtained Her Own Freedom” on Wednesday, February 8 at 7:00 p.m. The library is located at 550 East Broad Street.

 

Lisa G. Fleming, an actress and singer, presents the story of Silvia Du Bois, a New Jersey slave who was born in Hunterdon County in 1798 and who died at 120 years of age.

After her birth, she was sold to a family who moved her to New York. She obtained her freedom and moved back to New Jersey where she spent the rest of her life in the Hunterdon area. She had six children and ran a tavern she inherited from her grandfather. Her doctor interviewed her on her 116th birthday, and Lisa tells her story at this point, sitting in her rocking chair, and speaking to the people who have come to talk with her.

 Post-show, Lisa and playwright Audrey Palmatier answer questions. Lisa has performed extensively throughout NY and NJ, has numerous film and TV credits and her own Management/Productions company.

 The program is free and open to Westfield Memorial Library and MURAL cardholders. (MURAL cardholders belong to libraries that are part of the Middlesex Union Reciprocal Agreement Libraries.

(January 30, 2012) – The Westfield Memorial Library is pleased to present a new kind of storytelling event called a Story Slam on Wednesday, February 15 at 7:00 p.m. The library is located at 550 East Broad Street.

 

A Story Slam is an event in which people tell true, five-minute stories based around a particular theme. All stories are told in front of an audience, without notes, scripts or cheat sheets. The theme for the evening of February 15 is, “Let’s Talk about Love.”

 

“This could be love for a spouse, child, pet, car, or even a cup of coffee,” said Jen Schulze, head of adult services. She continued, “I hold Story Slams on a quarterly basis “because people really like to have a chance to talk about the memorable events in their lives. We’re getting a good following of storytellers.”
