phia. Comprised of dramatic and comedic compositions, La Giara expresses themes relevant to gender oppression and cultural losses that immigrant families transcended while adapting to a new world. Haddad King said of the work, “What makes La Giara particularly compelling is that it is my personal family story, but the themes that were the driving forces behind my family’s dissent in 1909 still resonate today. When expressed through varied music writing – Musical Theater, Opera, Jazz and Brazilian influences – a rich and unique music narrative is created.” La Giara is performed in two acts and features 5 singers/actors and a 5-piece instrumental ensemble that includes piano (Patricia Haddad), guitar (Orlando Haddad), accordion (Joe Soprani), upright bass (Jim Stager) and mandolin (Mark Linkins). Video projections created by Brendan McGeehan and shadow puppetry designed by Roni DeFalco will enhance and bring a visual component to the production. Advance tickets are recommended and are available at the World Cafe Live box office (215-222-1400) or online at www.worldcafelive.com/event/1816219. Tickets cost $30 per person. La Giara books will be available for purchase for $10 only on night of show. Full service bar and dinner are served a la carte.

This program pairs a variety of films with engaging talks by leading experts, peeling back movie magic to reveal the facts beneath. All across the country, theaters like BMFI are presenting Science on Screen programs in their own communities, sparking scientific conversations everywhere this spring. Science on Screen® is an initiative by the Coolidge Corner Theater with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Science on Screen begins with the original Jurassic Park on Saturday, April 13, followed by a talk with Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur advisor on the film, “Dino” Don Lessem. The following Thursday, April 25, Dr. Frank Lee, Director of Drexel University’s Entrepreneurial Game Studio, decodes Computer Chess, an analog mockumentary set in a 1980s game programming tournament. ASL and spoken English interpretation will accompany the Deaf Short Films Program, featuring works made by and starring Deaf artists on Thursday, April 25, followed by a discussion with Melissa Draganac-Hawk, Director of Student Affairs at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. Over the Limit follows elite Russian gymnast Margarita Mamun’s intense path to the 2016 Olympics, which finishes the series on Thursday, May 2. Polina Kozitskiy of the Philadelphia Rhythmic Academy will perform a short demonstration prior to the film, and will be joined by Dr. Joel Fish, Director of the Center for Sport Psychology, for a talk after the screening. Jurassic Park with “Dino” Don Lessem “Hold onto your butts!” A group of experts are summoned to a millionaire’s remote island to preview his new creation: a nature reserve populated by living dinosaurs, cloned from prehistoric DNA. When the park’s security system fails, the visitors must brave the rampaging dinosaurs to shepherd their host’s grandchildren to safety. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum star in the 1993 blockbuster that still reigns as the dinosaur movie of all dinosaur movies. After the screening, science writer and exhibit developer “Dino” Don Lessem will help attendees separate dino-fact from fiction. Don Lessem is one of the world’s leading presenters of dinosaurs, the author of more than 40 books, and advisor to Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Mr. Lessem has excavated and reconstructed the world’s largest meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs in Patagonia and Mongolia. He creates giant touring exhibitions, is host and creator of NOVA documentaries, and advisor to Universal Studios and Disney theme parks. The Argentine dinosaur, Lessemsaurus, was named in honor of his contributions to dinosaur research. Jurassic Park will show on Saturday, April 13, 2019, at 1 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students, and $8 for BMFI members and children under 18. Computer Chess with Dr. Frank Lee In the early 1980s, a tournament between chess-playing computers leads the attending programmers to personal, spiritual, and existential crossroads. Shot on period-appropriate analog video cameras, this comic (and occasionally surreal) mockumentary lovingly spoofs the early days of computing while foreshadowing the encroachment of technology into modern life. Dr. Frank Lee, Director of Drexel University’s Entrepreneurial Game Studio, will introduce the film and stay for a post-film Q&A. Dr. Frank J. Lee is a Professor of Digital Media in the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design at Drexel University with appointments in Psychology, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering. Lee received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, and his B.A. in Cognitive Science from UC Berkeley. Lee co-founded Drexel’s Game Design Program in 2008, which is currently ranked as one of the Top Best Game Design Programs in U.S. He is also the founding director of the Entrepreneurial Game Studio at Drexel University, a unique university initiative designed to teach students entrepreneurship and gaming by helping them to create their own game companies. Lee’s past projects have won national and international awards and recognitions that have received extensive media coverage. The Guinness World Records recognized one of his most famous projects, Skyscraper Tetris, as the Largest Architectural Video Game Display. He was selected as one of Polygon’s 50 most admirable gaming people of 2014, and one of Philadelphia Magazine’s Top Innovators of 2012. Computer Chess will show on Thursday, April 18, 2019, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students, and $8 for BMFI members. Deaf Short Film Program with Melissa Draganac-Hawk Using comedy, romance, drama, and performance, this collection of five short films made by and/or starring Deaf artists explores the spectrum of communication and expression. Engaging for Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and hearing audiences alike, this program will feature ASL and spoken English interpretation. The short films to be screened include, Sign – a Silent Film, Boat, Sounds Like Us, Silent Moves, and To Know Him. Melissa Draganac-Hawk, Director of Student Affairs at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and president of the National Association of the Deaf, will introduce the film and moderate post-screening discussion. Melissa Draganac-Hawk is a first-generation American of deaf immigrant Peruvians, and received her Master’s degree in Linguistics and dual Bachelors in American Sign Language and Theater Production & Performance from Gallaudet University. Currently, she is the Director of Student Affairs at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and president of the National Association of the Deaf. Engaged in the Deaf Community, Draganac-Hawk was the president of the National Council of Hispano Deaf and Hard of Hearing (now renamed Council de Manos) and the Executive Director of Deaf Women United. Deaf Short Films Program will show on Thursday, April 25, 2019, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students, and $8 for BMFI members.

“Dealer’s Choice” at the Players Club of Swarthmore
Ash (Walter McCready) takes a trick in “Dealer’s Choice” at the Players Club of Swarthmore, April 5 - 13. Photo/Rebecca Gudelunas Photography he Players Club of Swarthmore presents “Dealer’s Choice,” a comedy by Patrick Marber, directed by Jeff Berry, on the Raymond W. Smith stage. Performances are April 5 and 6 at 8 p.m., April 7 at 2 p.m., April 11 at 7:30 p.m., April 12 and 13 at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door, or in advance at www.pcstheater.org. The Players Club is located at 614 Fairview Road in Swarthmore, PA. “Dealer’s Choice” is set in a blue-collar neighborhood in London, in a restaurant where the weekly poker game is about to occur. In the second act, the scene moves to the basement and the poker game begins. Poker, it’s clear, is the way the winning players exercise their dominance over the lesser members of the band, and the arena where the losers try, and fail hilariously, to move up a peg in the esteem of the group. That one of the losers is the son of one of the winners adds depth to the drama, and the visit of a quiet man who asks to sit in on the game upends the expectations of all the players in this wickedly funny comedy. The cast includes Stephen Connor of Wilmington, Steve Gudelunas of Philadelphia, Walter McCready of Chester, Sean McDermott of Phoenixville, Christopher Tolomeo of Springfield, and Steve Travers of Prospect Park. Audience advisory: strong language. The Players Club’s Raymond W. Smith stage is not handicapped-accessible.
