History Comes to Life...Monmouth County Library
Presents
A Great Debate
between
Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton
Followed by a Very Special Pop-Up Concert
with
Tim McLoone & The Shirleys
with The Atlantic Coast Band
Sunday, April 23 at 2 PM
Monmouth County Library Headquarters,
125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan NJ 07726
a Great Debate between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton which dramatizes the conflicting ideas espoused by the two men, Witness founding fathers Thomas Jefferson (Steve Edenbo) and Alexander Hamilton (Eben Kuhns) as they debate their opposing interpretations of the U.S. Constitution. They will debate topics most relevant to their day and to ours: State versus Federal authority in government, the framing of the Constitution and its interpretation, and the people's voice in government; Jefferson's and Hamilton's differing viewpoints foreshadow the establishment of our two-party system and demonstrate how the need for compromise between two opposing factions resulted in the development of the imperfect, but ever evolving government we have today.
Jefferson & Hamilton are portrayed by historians/actors Steve Edenbo and Eben Kuhns of the American Historical Theatre.
