Learn What is Acupuncture at the Library
Learn what is Acupuncture at the Washington Twp. Public Library, 37 E. Springtown Rd., Long Valley, NJ on Thursday, July 21, 2011. Deborah Waddell, Dipl.Ac., C.A. is the Director of Skyland’s Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Long Valley, NJ. will go into What Acupuncture is, what could be treated with Acupuncture and what to expect from a treatment. In addition to discussing acupuncture, she will also go into Chinese Dietary Therapy and its role in health and wellness.
She will bring both charts and needles so people can see how thin they are. She may also do a demonstration on one or two people to show how painless the needles are. She will also provide educational cards on common illnesses that acupuncture treats for them to keep.
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive medical system to diagnose and help millions of people get well and stay healthy. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are a preventative medicine rather than a reactionary medicine. An acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints on the body. This activates the body’s Qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. Acupuncture can also improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems as endorsed by the National Institute of Health.
Deborah Waddell, Dipl.Ac., C.A. is the Director of Skyland’s Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Long Valley, NJ. Ms. Waddell is a graduate and former teacher of the Eastern School of Acupuncture in Montclair, NJ. She received her Acupuncture License from the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners, the Pennsylvania Board of Osteopathic Physicians and her National Diplomat Certification from the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists. Deborah also has a degree in Biology and Chemistry with Summa Cum laude Honor from Felician College. Mrs. Waddell also was awarded a research fellowship at the NJ Institute of Technology where she performed research in bioremediation before becoming an Acupuncturist.
“NEXT STAGE ENSEMBLE” brings "Love's Labour's Lost" to the Library
On Wednesday, July 20, 2001 the Washington Twp. Public Library, 37 E. Springtown Rd., Long Valley, NJ will present Love’s Labour’s Lost, performed by The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s Next Stage Ensemble summer touring program.
Shakespeare’s delightful coming-of-age comedy is a witty and hilarious ode to youthful aspirations, infatuations and follies. The young King of Navarre, along with three of his loyal friends, decide to dedicate themselves to the “noble pursuit of knowledge” for three full years, locking themselves away from all distractions…especially women. Their ambitious “ivory tower” is soon shaken, with the arrival of the lovely Princess of France and her three gamesome ladies-in-waiting. Filled with dazzling wordplay, strong comic characters and a few unexpected twists, LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST not only charms, but also touches the heartstrings of young and old alike. Director Abigail Isaac (“As You Like It” tour, 2010) returns with an exciting new staging of this delicious Shakespeare confection.
For additional information about this performance, please contact the Library at 908-876-3596.
The Next Stage Ensemble, now in its 19th year, was created in 1992 as part of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Summer Professional Training Program, to foster the work of early-career actors and directors. One of several outreach programs offered by The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, the Next Stage Ensemble brings the thrill of a live performance to audiences of all ages throughout New Jersey each summer, while enabling young performers to gain valuable experience in classical theatre and ensemble work.
The Next Stage Ensemble upholds the Shakespearean tradition of a traveling company of actors bringing its theatrical repertory into the community, by performing at hospitals, retirement communities, libraries, camps, schools and community centers. Much as an Elizabethan traveling company would have done, the troupe tours with only minimal sets and without lighting equipment. In traditional fashion, actors typically perform in multiple roles. The performers rely upon the text and their craft, rather than on elaborate sets, costumes and special effects, to create theatrical "magic." For more information about the Next Stage Ensemble, call 973-408-3806.
