I was invited to take some photos recently in Rumson, New Jersey at the Annual ESU Spring Tea and Shakespeare Competition.
The English Speaking Union promotes scholarship and the advancement of knowledge through the effective use of English in an expanding global community.
Every year, an English teacher from Monmouth County is sponsored for a trip to England for three weeks at the Globe Theatre for an intensive Shakespeare program. The teachers across the U.S. return with their knowledge and experience to further enrich the education of their pupils in the appreciation of Shakespeare and the proper use of the English language.
As befitting a proper Tea, there was a varied assortment of fine sandwiches, cakes, and other goodies.
The facility that was used for the meeting, Bingham Hall, was quite an interesting building. It was originally a church that was built by the owner of a hotel that was once on the bank of the river across the street.
You can tell from the architecture of the front of the hall that it used to be a house of worship.
