As part of its “Biographies From the Court” series, Georgian Court University, Lakewood, will welcome St. George Productions of Medford, N.Y. to present an afternoon of tea and stories with famed Shakespearean actor “John Barrymore.”
The interactive theatrical performances and tea parties bring to life figures from the past. Barrymore will regale his good friend Edith Kingdon Gould, wife of George Jay Gould, (Barrymore appeared on stage with the real Edith Kingdon Gould) with how he and his siblings Ethel and Lionel learned the family business from their grandmother and went from a life of privilege to a checkered life in show business.
Performances will be held at 11:30 a.m. Sept, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23, 25, 29, 30 and Oct. 2, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, and 16 and also at 3 p.m. Sept. 12, 19, 26 and Oct. 3, 10, and 17 on the Lakewood campus. The cost to attend is $42 per person and includes the performance and tea luncheon. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Call 732-987-2263 or email [email protected].
