The Phoenix Theatre is in residence at SALT Performing Arts, 1645 Art School Road, Chester Springs. Tickets for The Glass Menagerie are on sale online at www.thephoenixtheatrepa.com. Tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for students. There will be an accessible relaxed matinee performance on Saturday, January 25 at 2 p.m. Tennessee Williams’ autobiographical “memory play,” a defining moment for theatre history, looks at the Wingfield family – frustrated writer Tom, his nagging mother, Amanda, who is often lost in memories of her genteel past, and his painfully shy sister, Laura – and the effect a visit from a “gentleman caller” for Laura has on all their lives. The play is an intimate portrait of a young man reliving his past to make sense of his present. The Glass Menagerie, written by one of the great American playwrights, holds a mirror up to illusion and reveals truth, as this broken family struggles with their reality while relentlessly holding onto their youth. Phoenix Theatre Managing Director Michael Hajek directs this classic work. The Wingfield family at the center of this piece features two newcomers to The Phoenix Theatre. Catherine Ogden is playing Amanda, the matriarch of the family. Ogden has appeared

(AWB), founded by Christine Rouse in 2004, since it began. AWB is a non-profit theater group for physically disabled actors (Brannau was born with mild cerebral palsy). The organization rehearses at The Haverford School, with monthly workshops and puts on a fully staged musical every year. “I’m really grateful to be a part of this production and cast! I’ve loved Tennessee Williams’ work for years and am so honored to get to perform in this beautiful play. As an actress with cerebral palsy, advocating for access and inclusion for disabled performers in theater, and performance as a whole is incredibly important to me. I’m excited to continue promoting inclusion with this show and hopefully, many more to come,” Brannau said. Phoenix Theatre Artistic Director Seth Reich is playing Tom Wingfield. Reich, who is on the faculty of the Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School Center for Performing and Fine Arts has not appeared on stage in five years but has been directing and teaching consistently. He has extensive stage and film credits appearing in: The Blacklist, All My Children, As the World Turns, Mystic River and more. Ryan Cassidy, who earned raves as Ferdinand in the theatre’s debut production of The Tempest, returns as the Gentleman Caller, Jim. Cassidy recently appeared in the Eagle Theatre’s World Premiere of Bruce Graham’s Gary. Phoenix Theatre Resident Designer Stephan Moravski is designing the set. The company is focusing on elements of nostalgia and bringing Williams’ own history into the play with its design. Inherent Style is designing the costumes. Reich is performing double duty—designing the sound and creating a soundscape drawing from the blues sounds of Clarksdale, Mississippi where Williams grew up in the early 1900s. The company is dedicated to bringing a contemporary light to classic works and will be focusing on a modern design, while honoring Williams’ history. Hajek feels this story is timeless and has a personal connection to it. “The story of Tom Wingfield needing to leave home drew me to The Glass Menagerie. I left home when I was 17 (I first read the play when I was 16). I get that desire to escape. I had different reasons. I don’t have guilt over leaving family behind but Tom’s story affected me deeply.” He added, “The theme of escape is timeless. How we make that escape, be it through memories, schooling, dreams, or actually getting up and leaving is at the heart of this play. This play deals with that and the guilt of leaving some behind is yet another part of the story. Audiences can expect a good story via an emotional roller coaster with the classic work.”

thing real like this makes it come alive for them. Tradition says that the Lion chases away the bad and makes the coming year a year to look forward to.” The Rat is the first in the cycle of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the zodiac order would be decided by the order in which they arrived at his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, the Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first. According to Yangming’s owner, Michael Wei, more than 200 customers are expected to pack the restaurant on January 23 to enjoy this traditional festivity of the one-night-only Lion and Dragon Dance which has enthralled adults and children alike for centuries. He then added, “In the Chinese zodiac tradition all the animals have positive attributes: rats are clever, quick thinkers; successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life.” During this month-long celebration of Chinese New Year, Yangming is offering its customers special multi-course banquet dinners from Thursday, January 23 until Saturday, February 1, 2020. The Banquet Dinner cost is $59.50 per person with a minimum of four and $64.50 per person for 2 and 3 (all plus tax and gratuities). The Banquet Menu for the annual multi-course extravaganza is different every year.

Delaware Art Museum Hosts Groundbreaking New Ballet on Jan. 23 Black Iris Project’s solo ballet centers around one mother coping from the loss of her child to a racially motivated murder. he Delaware Art Museum will host A Mother’s Rite, the Black Iris Project’s groundbreaking solo ballet, on Thursday, January 23 at 6 p.m. Founded in 2016 by choreographer Jeremy McQueen, The Black Iris Project is a ballet collaborative and education vehicle that creates new classical and contemporary ballet works that celebrate diversity and Black history. A Mother’s Rite, which is set to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic composition Rite of Spring, is a moving 38-minute solo performance about how a mother copes with the loss of her child to a racially-motivated murder by police. Jeremy McQueen, artistic director and choreographer for the Black Iris Project, says about the inspiration of A Mother’s Rite, “I was first inspired to create A Mother’s Rite when I attended a Solange concert at Radio City Music Hall. Solange was performing a song called ‘Mad’ and started to increasingly appear physically and emotionally distressed. As I was watching this almost ritualistic shedding of pain, I started to think about what I and Black Americans have the right to be mad about and I started to think more and more about the senseless killings of Black men and women across our country. A Mother’s Rite is choreographed to illustrate a side of the story that is often kept very private, one that the public is not often exposed to.” The Museum is offering A Mother’s Rite in conjunction with their participation in One Village Alliance’s Raising Kings 2020, a week of events (January 20 - 25) around Wilmington focused on empowering young Black men and their families. In addition to the January 23 Black Iris performance, the Museum will offer volunteer opportunities for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 20. “MLK Day of Service is a time for us to celebrate our many accomplishments around building equity in our city, but also for us to reflect on the work that still needs to be done,” says Jonathan Whitney, the Museum’s Manager of Performance Programs & Community Engagement. “We are inviting the community to join us on MLK day to make chess sets for youth, knit caps for infants, and drop off winter coats for the homeless, while also hearing flash talks about voting rights, the importance of census participation, the school to prison pipeline, and infant mortality. We hope people will then come back that Thursday for A Mother’s Rite to reflect with us on the effects of racially motivated violence on families and communities of color.” Keeping in line with its vision to collaborate with local organizations, the Museum is also partnering with Pieces of a Dream, Inc., Christiana Cultural Arts Center, and Cab Calloway School for the Arts around A Mother’s Rite.
T
Leading up to the public performance, Pieces of a Dream, Inc. will offer a free ballet master class for dancers with Jeremy M. McQueen, Choreographer of A Mother’s Rite on Wednesday, January 22 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at their Lancaster Avenue dance studio. Interested participants should pre-register at delart.org. During the first half of the public performance on January 23, ensembles of local dancers from both Pieces of a Dream, Inc. and the Christina Cultural Arts Center will perform. This will be followed by a brief intermission, then Black Iris Project’s 38-minute solo piece A Mother’s Rite. A Q & A between director Jeremy McQueen and the creative mind behind Raising Kings Week, Chandra Pitts, President & CEO of the One Village Alliance, will immediately follow the performance. “The opportunity for the Black Iris Project to visit Delaware for performances and workshops is fundamentally important to the social and cultural development of our state,” says Ashley S.K. Davis, Executive and Artistic Director at Pieces of a Dream, Inc. “While there is no shortage of ballet companies in the region, there is a poignant lack of African-American bodies on these illustrious stages. For aspiring young Black ballerinas and ballerinos to see themselves represented in this genre can be inspiring and life-changing. It is also important for the community at large, dancers and non-dancers alike, to see this classical dance form centered on Black bodies and focused on Black stories.” Both the MLK Day of Service in conjunction with Raising Kings and the Black Iris Project performance are part of the Museum’s ongoing effort to present forward-thinking artists who are addressing topics relevant to its local community. The MLK Day of Service will take place on Monday, January 20, 2020, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free, but donations are encouraged. A Mother’s Rite starts at 6 p.m. on Thursday, January 23, 2020. Tickets, which can be purchased at www.Delart.org or at the door, are $10 for students with a valid ID, $20 for Museum Members, and $25 for Non-Members. This engagement of the Black Iris Project is made possible through the Special Presenter Initiatives program of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation. Additional support was provided, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency in partnership with the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com. SAY YOU SAW IT IN CITY SUBURBAN NEWS!

After welcoming 300,000 visitors in its previous shows in San Diego and Scottsdale, Wonderspaces will open in Philadelphia January 24, 2020. Wonderspaces will present fourteen art installations that Stories of Mechanical Music, taken by artist all play with the idea of perspective. The artwork ranges Myriam Bleau. from award-winning virtual reality short film about a dinner party-turned-alien abduction, to a room where visitors digitally paint the walls with the movement of their bodies. The first line-up of artwork at Wonderspaces includes: Submergence by Squidsoup – Submergence is an immersive installation comprised of 8,064 individual points of light visitors walk through. The lights continually change colors in correspondence to music. Submer gence creates awe-inspiring feelings of movement within physical space. Blooms by John Edmark – Blooms are 3D-printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The rotational speed and the strobe light frequency are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the bloom turns 137.5 degrees—the angular version of the golden ratio (0.618...). Sun by Phillip Schutte – SUN is an interactive installation which empowSun by Phillip Schutte. Photo/Victor Ren ers visitors to control the movement of the rise and setting of the sun. As the visitor moves the ball, the position of the sun changes the way the light interacts with the atmosphere. Transition by Mike von Rotz and Joost Jordens – Transition is a virtual reality experience based on the music of Kettel & Secede. A metaphor for death, Transi tion takes visitors on a journey from one world into the next. Black Balloons by Tadao Cern – Black Balloons is comprised of balloons with opposing weights. The artwork explores contradictions; lightness and heaviness, attraction and repulsion, materiality and immateriality. Body Paint by Memo Akten – Playing on our natural instinct to express ourselves through movement and dance, Body Paint interprets our physical gestures into evolving compositions. Body Paint is about interaction experience, captured through this motion and the energy of the body. Come Together by Michael Murphy – Come Together is a symbol of the power of collectivity. The artwork depicts the raised fist of Michael Murphy’s girlfriend at the Women’s March in early 2017. The Last Word by Illegal Art – The Last Word is an invitation to share thoughts left unsaid. Thousands of tightly rolled pieces of paper, dyed red on one end and left untouched on the other offer an opportunity to anonymously complete your conversations or explore the

unexpressed sentiments of others. Stories of Mechanical Music by Myriam Bleau – Stories of Mechanical Music is an installation series that proposes an anachronistic take on the music box. Each box is made out of a large number of CDs collected from different cities, Montreal, Mexico and Stockholm. A side crank activates the rotation of the box, creating an algorithm based composition of musical samples. As most music is now stored in digital format, music and the medium that used to house it are becoming increasingly removed. The correlation between music and form in Stories of Mechanical Music aims to anchor the music to the physical world, in the form of an augmented object. Myrkviðr by Yasuhiro Chida – An illuminated aluminum ring suspended by countless pieces of fishing line. The light from the ring reflects off of the fishing line in an infinite variety of ways depending on the viewer’s position. The artwork has no intended meaning and is instead meant to be experienced in an immediate, purely visual way. “We’ve been dreaming of presenting shows in Philadelphia since day one because of the city’s burgeoning creative community and its vibrant art scene,” said Shin. “Wonderspaces is excited to be in the heart of a major metropolitan city with a thriving arts community. We are The Last Word by Illegal Art. Photo/Brian also thrilled to join the Fashion District and find a new Bautista home in Philadelphia; it’s an added bonus that we will help make Philadelphia Fashion District a true destination for art lovers from all walks of life.” “The addition of Wonderspaces, combined with our unique art installations, further establishes Fashion District’s art and culture pillar while delivering an engaging atmosphere for our visitors,” said PREIT CEO Joseph F. Coradino. “As seen in our entertainment and art offerings, non-traditional concepts are a cornerstone of The District, complementing our great retail and dining brands, and we continue to take pride in curating unique social experiences that everyone can enjoy.” While visitors will experience the best of art from around the globe, Wonderspaces is also excited to meet locally-baseds world-class artists. “We’re really looking forward to learning more about artists currently working in our new home in Philadelphia,” said Shin. “Artists we first featured in San Diego are currently having their work shown in Scottsdale, and soon we will be bringing it to Philadelphia. As Wonderspaces continues to grow, wherever we go, we want to partner with whomever is creating exceptional art that could be enjoyed by larger audiences. We are already talking to some local artists about showing their work everywhere we present art.” Tickets for Wonderspaces are now on sale in early January for up to $24 each. An average tour of a Wonderspaces show lasts 80-90 minutes, though visitors are welcome to stay as long as they want. Tickets are tied to a specific date and time. The number of visitors allowed to enter every fifteen minutes is limited to ensure the space never becomes too crowded. Before, during, and after the show visitors are welcome to enjoy the Wonderspaces bar, which offers a curated selection of lite bites and beverages, including specialty cocktails. In addition, art lovers looking to have unlimited visits to Wonderspaces, receive early access to new shows and installations, obtain discounts for their guests, and complementary and discounted items at the gift shop and bar can opt for an annual membership to Wonderspaces. Memberships can be purchased for individual use or as a gift at the Wonderspaces box office or online closer to the opening date. To learn more about Wonderspaces, sign-up for the email list, and to purchase tickets and vouchers, visit https://philadelphia.wonderspaces.com/. In addition to individual tickets and annual memberships, Wonderspaces is available for special events, holiday parties and large corporate gatherings up to 500. Look for information about group event rentals and ticket packages when Wonderspaces opens in 2020. After the first few months, the artwork at Wonderspaces will begin to rotate out. The evolving lineup will continue to deliver extraordinary works from artists around the world.

“Bicentennial City” Explores Myths and Memories of America’s 200th Birthday Party Exhibit on View at Haverford College’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery January 24 through March 6 n 1976, America was celebrating its 200th birthday and Philadelphia was chosen to host the party. For over a decade prior, that July 4th weekend stood as a site of possibility. The celebration drew an estimated two million visitors. A vast regatta of tall ships sailed from around the world up the Delaware River. A team of Conestoga wagons traveled from the west coast. All of the fire plugs in the city were painted red, white, and blue. Yet things did not go as planned. With a racist mayor, post-Vietnam malaise, and the galvanized resistance of marginalized groups, the Bicentennial in Philadelphia laid bare some of the most pressing questions of America’s national identity. For 10 weeks during the summer of 2019, five Haverford and Bryn Mawr College students collaborated with poet Thomas Devaney and Greenhouse Media to explore this surreal moment in Philadelphia and national history through an experimental documentary film. That film will be the centerpiece of a new exhibition in Haverford’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, “Bicentennial City.” “Bicentennial City” the exhibit presents the film of the same name as a large multi-channel projection and soundscape alongside two neon sculptures – an original neon Liberty Bell created in 1976 by Val Maddalo and one commissioned for the exhibit by celebrated Philadelphia neon artist Len Davidson – and a decommissioned fire hydrant created in collaboration with the Dufala Brothers and local nonprofit RAIR (Recycled Artist in Residency). These works, as well as other Bicentennial ephemera that will be on display, explore the many roles myth and memory play in the psyche of a city. Additionally, attendees are invited to leave the gallery with a copy of “The Crack in the Bell,” a special free broadsheet that weaves together Devaney’s writing about his personal connection to the Bicentennial and production stills from the film. The publication’s title, like much of “Bicentennial City,” nods to Philly’s famed Liberty Bell as a symbol that transcends its freedom-ringing beginnings and, with its infamous crack, has come to embody the deepest fissures in American life. “Bicentennial City” will be on view January 24 through March 6 at Haverford College’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery. Attend an opening talk and reception Friday, January 24, from 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the gallery, and again on Thursday, February 13 at 4:30 p.m. in Haverford’s VCAM Screening Room for the related program, “The Crack in the Bell 1976: A Talk by Thomas Devaney.” For further details: https://doculabs.haverford.edu/bicentennial/. “Bicentennial City” is sponsored by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and VCAM. Overseen by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and located in Whitehead Campus Center, the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery is open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesdays until 8 p.m. For information, contact Matthew Seamus Callinan, associate director of the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, VCAM, and campus exhibitions, at 610-896-1287 or mcallina@haverford.edu, or visit the exhibitions program website: www.haverford.edu/exhibits. Haverford College is located at 370 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford, PA 19041.

The American Red Cross urges eligible donors of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need. Some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. Donors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all blood types, are needed to help patients fight sickle cell disease, alpha thalassemia and other illnesses. Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767). To help reduce wait times, donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at www.redcrossblood.org/RapidPass.
