812 Productions presents its annual political comedy, and a Philadelphia favorite, This Is The Week That Is. A staple of the Philadelphia theatre season for the past 13 years, This Is The Week That Is brings to the stage sharp satire and content that changes with the headlines. This Is The Week That Is opens Wednesday, November 28 at 7 p.m. at Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Place, in Center City. Preview performances begin Friday, November 23. The production has been extended and will play through Saturday, January 5, 2019. Tickets and information are available at www.1812productions.org or at 215-592-9560. Featuring a script that changes nightly, improvised comedy, musical parodies, and a versatile cast of comedy pros, This Is The Week That Is continues its mission to, “Tell the truth and make it funny.” This sage direction was given to the show’s creator Jennifer Childs by comedy legend Mort Sahl before the first iteration of This Is The Week That Is in 2006. “This Is The Week That Is gives us an opportunity to respond to our community and to the events of the world in a really direct and open way,” Childs says. “Every year, we start with the question of what it feels like to be an American right now – what’s on peoples’ minds, what’s in the zeitgeist – and we invite the audience in to share in that experience. The release through laughter that comes with that sharing is absolutely priceless. There’s nothing else like it.” This year, the American Theatre Wing, founder of the Tony Awards, has recognized the uniqueness and longevity of This Is The Week That Is by commissioning 1812 Productions to create a documentary about the show’s history and creative process. Childs says, “It’s been a remarkable exercise at this moment in history to look back while also looking forward. I am so grateful to the many people who have worked on this show over the years and help-

PCOM Restructures Programs, Departments “A NNIHILATING G UN V IOLENCE ” TALK AT O VERBROOK P RESBYTERIAN C HURCH P hiladelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) has announced the formation of two new schools as part of a recent academic restructuring: the PCOM School of Health Sciences and the PCOM School of Professional and Applied Psychology. The new schools join the PCOM College of Osteopathic Medicine, which encompasses the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine programs across all campuses and locations; and the PCOM School of Pharmacy, established in 2010 and located at the institution’s branch campus in Suwanee, Georgia. The PCOM School of Professional and Applied Psychology brings together all of the College’s psychology and leadership graduate programs under one roof: clinical psychology; counseling and clinical health psychology; educational psychology; mental health counseling; school psychology; organizational development and leadership; aging and long-term care administration; public health management and administration; and non-profit leadership and population health management. The School also houses a number of certificate programs including applied behavior analysis. The PCOM School of Health Sciences brings the College’s health sciences graduate and doctoral programs together: biomedical sciences; forensic medicine and pathology; physical therapy and physician assistant studies. Kenneth Veit, DO ’76, MBA, provost, senior vice president of academic affairs and dean, said the decision to restructure came after the establishment and growth of new academic programs over the last several years, coupled with the recent retirement of the College’s former head of graduate programs and planning. “We wanted to create a new structure that better reflects the size and scope of our academic programs and also the institution’s university status, which was granted by the state of Pennsylvania in 2014,” said Dr. Veit. He added that the institution has no plans to rename. Two internal candidates, Robert A. DiTomasso, PhD, ABPP, and Gregory McDonald, DO ’89, were chosen as the deans for the PCOM School of Professional and Applied Psychology and the PCOM School of Health Sciences, respectively. Dr. McDonald previously served as the head of forensic medicine and pathology, and Dr. DiTomasso had served as the chair of the Department of Psychology for more than 14 years. Shawn Spencer, PhD, began his tenure as dean of the PCOM School of Pharmacy on March 26. “The restructuring is intended to strengthen academic offerings within the college and schools, to continue and enhance professional collaboration in PCOM’s teaching and research missions, and encourage a shared vision for excellence in interprofessional education, clinical work and scientific discoveries,” said Dr. Veit. “Deans will have the structure they need to achieve success and potentially grow or expand offerings within their schools.” Learn more about each of PCOM’s https://www.pcom.edu/academics/colleges-and-schools/.

The Players Club of Swarthmore Presents “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later” he Players Club of Swarthmore presents “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later,” by Moisés Kaufmann, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Andy Paris, and Stephen Belber, directed by Tim Oskin of Swarthmore.

Michael Steven Schultz interviews Anthony San Filippo, playing one of the murderers of Matthew Shepard, in “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later” at the Players Club of Swarthmore. Next performances are November 15 - 17. Photo/Ann-Marie Scalies ber 9. Upcoming performances Thursday through Saturday, November 15 - 17. In 1998 and 1999, members of the Tectonic Theatre Project descended on Laramie, Wyoming to interview townspeople about the recent murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard. They then crafted a play from those interviews, using the townspeople’s own words. This became “The Laramie Project,” much performed nationally since its debut in 2000, which introduced audiences to a host of Laramie residents – decent, thoughtful, and articulate – and their reflections on the cruel hate crime perpetrated by two young men whom some of them knew personally. The same troupe revisited Laramie ten years after the event and spoke to many of the same people, and to some new ones including the murderers. The result is “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later.” Those who saw the original production won’t mind catching up with some memorable and interesting folks; if you missed it the first time, you’ll want to meet them and hear how their memories are being transmuted into a chapter in the history of their town and their time. Curtain times are 7:30 Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10, available at the door or in advance at www.pcstheater.org or 866-811-4111. The Players Club is located at 614 Fairview Road in Swarthmore. “The Laramie Project: Ten Year Later” is presented on the Raymond W. Smith stage which is not handicapped-accessible.

along with a gathering of princes and princesses from popular movie musicals and television shows in a one-day-only event on Sunday, December 16, at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Children are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite prince or princess. After the show, the cast will host a meet-and-greet reception with holiday cookies, apple cider and photo opportunities.

Note: The 6 p.m. show will feature a relaxed performance that welcomes children with autism or sensory or emotional sensitivities. “We are so excited to bring the Princesses back, and that they’ll be joined by some Princes this year. Philadelphia Theatre Company is helping create memories for children as they experience live theatre for the first time,” said Paige Price, the company’s Producing Artistic Director. “PTC has traditionally been the destination for work best enjoyed by teen and adult audiences, but it makes me happy to see these young audiences simply mesmerized. We know that the love of live theatre often begins with very young children who are taken to performances by a family member. By combining music, audience interaction and a family-friendly story in a relaxed environment, we hope to light that spark of interest that will last a lifetime.” In “A Dream Is A Wish: Holiday Princess Concert,” Cinderella is planning a holiday celebration for all the wonderful people of the kingdom and all of her princess friends. At the party the newest and youngest princess, Sofia, meets some of the princesses that she has always admired, like Rapunzel, Cinderella, Elsa, Moana, Ariel, Elena and more, along with Hans of the Southern Isle and that lovable outlaw Flynn Ryder. In this heartwarming show, Sofia learns that each princess has obstacles to overcome and her own path to discover, but no matter what, if Sofia’s true to herself, she will find her way. Audiences journey along with her as she learns what “being a princess is all about,” and they’ll sing along with almost two dozen favorites: “A Dream Is a Wish,” “Let It Go,” “Love is An Open Door,” “Almost There,” “At Last I See The Light,” “Reflection,” “Part of Your World,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” and more. Following the show, all the little princesses and princes in attendance will be invited to meet the cast in a special postshow meet-and-greet. Holiday cookies and apple cider will add to the festive afternoon! Please bring your camera to take photos after the show with the cast. (No photos may be taken during the show). “My hope is that families come and they make theater a new holiday tradition,” added Price. “We want to see grandparents, parents and little ones sharing the magic of theatre together.” Tickets are $35 at www.philatheatreco.org, at the box-office, or by calling 215-985-0420. There is a ten percent discount available for four packs of tickets.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF WILD WIZARDING WEEKEND
HOLIDAY SHOPPING & ENTERTAINMENT
C HESTNUT H ILL C ELEBRATES “H OLIDAYS ON THE H ILL ” More than 10 Events and 125 Local Retailers Welcome Guests for Seasonal Treats, Spectacular Shopping, Visits with Santa, and Holiday Cheer for All Ages Chestnut Hill’s Holidays on the Hill series fills the charming urban village with live entertainment and family-friendly events from November 17, 2018 - January 6, 2019. hestnut Hill’s Holidays on the Hill series fills the charming urban village with live entertainment and family-friendly events from November 17, 2018 - January 6, 2019. The celebration spreads cheer throughout this holiday shopping destination, which is home to more than 125 independently-owned boutiques and restaurants. During Chestnut Hill’s oldest and most favored tradition, Stag and Doe Nights, festively decorated shops stay open late and welcome visitors with hot cocoa, wine tastings, and seasonal treats on Wednesday nights, starting November 28 and continuing through December 19, while strolling carolers and brass quartets entertain shoppers along Germantown Avenue. “With holiday charm and one-of-a-kind retailers on every corner, Chestnut Hill is a magical place to celebrate and shop this time of year,” says Philip Dawson, Executive Director of the Chestnut Hill Business District. “Visitors can find special gifts in our independent toy stores, galleries, and clothing boutiques as they join in Holidays on the Hill festivities and make special memories with friends and family.” The Holidays on the Hill merriment officially begins with the neighborhood tradition of the Circle of Trees lighting ceremony at Woodmere Art Museum on November 17. Guests are invited to ring in the season with caroling, hot chocolate and cookies, and the grand arrival of Santa Claus on a vintage fire truck. Attendees are encouraged to share the spirit of the holidays by bringing an unwrapped new toy to donate to the Chestnut Hill Hospital Toy Drive for a child in need. American Express’s Small Business Saturday returns on November 24, encouraging visitors to shop local and small in Chestnut Hill. The neighborhood’s cobblestoned main street, Germantown Avenue, features an array of trendy boutiques and specialty shops within walking distance, making it the perfect spot to kick off the holiday shopping season. Families can spend Weekends with Santa throughout December. On Saturdays (December 1, 8, and 15) Santa will make appearances at the Market at the Fareway (8221 Germantown Avenue) from noon to 3 pm, and on Sundays (December 2, 9, and 16) he can be found at Santa’s Headquarters at Laurel Hill Gardens (8125 Germantown Avenue) from noon to 3 pm. Kids can share their Christmas wishes and gather for memorable holiday photos with Santa and his elves. Morris Arboretum brings back the beloved Holiday Garden Railway from November 23 December 31 (closed December 24 and 25). Model trains will chug along a quarter-mile track at the Arboretum surrounded by a miniature village adorned with thousands of lights in the winter garden. Guests can also bask in the evening glow of the decorated Arboretum during Holiday Garden Railway Nights on December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 22. Woodmere Art Museum recalls a cherished holiday classic in “The Night Before Christmas: The Illustrations of Charles Santore,” open November 17 - January 6, 2019. In addition, the museum will exhibit 19th-century children’s toys, holiday trimmings, and an extraordinary dollhouse replica of a Germantown rowhome decorated for the season. On December 8, the Chestnut Hill Community Association presents the 25th annual Chestnut Hill Holiday House Tour from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The ticketed tour invites guests to step inside five historic homes to enjoy holiday décor, seasonal treats, and live musical performances. Attendees also receive discounts at restaurants and shops throughout Chestnut Hill. The Chestnut Hill Community Holiday Parade brings holiday fun down Germantown Avenue for families to enjoy on December 15. The parade, beginning at 9 a.m., winds its way through Chestnut Hill with local musical acts, floats, community groups, and an anticipated appearance by Santa. Chestnut Hill is a shopper’s dream, especially during the holidays. Easy to get to and get around, the area is just a short train ride from Center City Philadelphia via SEPTA Regional Rail. For information about Holidays on the Hill events, visit www.chestnuthillpa.com.
