SUMMARY:In the Zone: A Maritime Play by Eugene O’Neill (Bunk Seating)
DESCRIPTION:Step into maritime and theatre history with the Seaport Museum and the professional actors of Mariner Theatrical as we bring Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O’Neill’s (1888–1953) powerful maritime play\, In The Zone\, to life aboard the historic 1885 tall ship Wavertree. Originally debuting during the height of World War I fervor––only months after the United States entered the war––In The Zone is one of four one-act plays O’Neill wrote between 1914 and 1917\, inspired by his time aboard the British ship SS Ikala. Set aboard a tramp steamer\, the play delves into themes of paranoia\, xenophobia\, and ambition as the sailors grow suspicious that one of their own may be a spy. As you enter the forecastle of Wavertree\, you’ll be transported to the tense confines of the SS Glencairn\, an Allied munitions ship braving the infamous “U-Boat Zone.” The intimate setting enhances the drama\, complemented by the atmospheric folk music of Nathan Bishop and his band\, Faoileán.

SUMMARY:South Street Seaport Museum Family Activity Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Let your creativity fly at the Seaport Museum by making your own signal flag swags. For centuries\, flags were the only form of communication between ships at sea\, and between ships and the shore. In the 19th century\, signaling with special flags developed into a system capable of passing several types of information and relatively elaborate messages. This even became a successful form of communication between crews who didn’t share a common language. Learn more about how sailors communicate using these vibrant flags that feature different patterns\, shapes\, and colors\, while making your own banner that spells out whatever message you like. There will also be opportunities to use your new-found skill by decoding others’ signal flag messages.

SUMMARY:Bounding Rivers\, Silent Waves—the Legend of General Ken Wang
DESCRIPTION:Online lecture. The Republican era of China was a period of remarkable cultural and political dynamism\, producing many luminaries and historical figures. However\, the true images of many of these individuals have been obscured. Ken Wang (Wang Geng) is one such figure. As a distinguished graduate of West Point and a recipient of the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship\, his reputation has long been overshadowed by rumors and inaccurate reporting. Beyond having a military career\, he was a vital witness to key moments in Republican China’s history. This lecture aims to uncover the historical truth and invite the audience to re-examine this overlooked historical figure and his contributions.
