“Your Special Island” Art Exhibit at Haverford College Find Great Events to Attend in Every Issue!

A new exhibit curated by Courtney Lynne Carter ’17, post-baccalaureate fellow for the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities at Haverford College, and Maya Berrol-Young BMC ’17, gathers the work of three artists – Andrea Chung, Rachelle Dang, and Ming Wong – to reveal the artifice of idealized versions of a tropical paradise by and for imperial pursuits. The works in “Your Special Island” reframe source materials from resort advertisements, colonial wallpaper, and Hollywood film to redirect attention onto their imperial construction. Taken together, these works ask viewers to reckon with the contemporary manifestations of complex imperial histories in tropical island sites, exposing the violence and exploitation that make the Western fantasy of the tropical possible. “Your Special Island” will be on view February 7 through March 8 at Haverford College’s VCAM Lower Create Space 006.

The Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra presents a concert on February 10 featuring guest artist, violist Roberto Díaz, president and CEO of the Curtis Institute of Music. Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue in Drexel Hill. Parking is free. For information on the upcoming season visit www.lansdowneso.org. The afternoon opens with the “Overture” to Dame Ethel Smyth’s grand opera The Wreckers. Ms. Smyth (1858-1944) was an important figure in music, feminism, and English history. Her work is featured in a collaboration with international publishers and libraries including the Royal Academy of Music, Philadelphia’s Fleisher Collection, and Lawdon Press in a series of programs featuring works by female composers. The second work is the “Viola Concerto” by William Walton (1902–1983), one of Walton’s best-known works. The orchestra welcomes viola soloist Roberto Díaz for the concerto. The orchestra will conclude the afternoon with “Symphony No. 4 in E Minor” by the German composer and pianist Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). A violist of international reputation, Roberto Díaz is president and CEO of the Curtis Institute of Music, following in the footsteps of renowned soloist/directors such as Josef Hofmann, Efrem Zimbalist, and Rudolf Serkin. As a teacher of viola at Curtis and former principal viola of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Mr. Díaz has already had a significant impact on American musical life and continues to do so in his dual roles as performer and educator. As a soloist, Mr. Díaz collaborates with leading conductors of our time on stages throughout the world. “The Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra is an integral part of the Delaware County community, with activities in libraries, community performances, interactions with other arts, and additional activities,” said musical director Reuben Blundell. “Many of our musicians are professionals in other fields, yet also share their great love of music with the community. The LSO is a unique community orchestra, with reviews from journals and reviews across several countries of our CD (released worldwide), which has been played on radio stations in Philadelphia and far beyond. And we’ve been recognized for our contribution to our local community (the Borough of Lansdowne Sycamore Award).” The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is jointly sponsored by the Upper Darby School District Board of School Directors and Upper Darby Township Mayor and Council through the Department of Recreation and Leisure Services.

Last Five Years,” “Parade,” “Songs for a New World”) and Pulitzer Prize and TONY Award winner Marsha Norman (“Night Mother,” “The Color Purple”) brought the story to the stage. The show went on to win two Drama Desk Awards for Music and Orchestration and two TONY Awards for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations. “The Bridges of Madison County” is a lush musical that captures the lyrical expanse of America’s heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question “What if…?” It is the touching story of Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy. She is looking forward to a rare weekend alone on her Iowa farm while her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. Soon after they depart, ruggedly handsome National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid pulls into her driveway seeking directions. What happens in those four days between the two may well alter the course of Francesca’s life forever. Audiences will get swept away by this unforgettable story of two people caught between loyalty and desire, as a chance encounter could change everything. This sweeping tale about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave Philadelphia audiences breathless.
“The story that’s told in the musical is, for me, so much more heartbreaking and real on stage. People familiar with the book or movie will expect something a little more predictable, but they will find plenty of surprises in the stage version. Just as Sweat was unflinching, so goes The Bridges of Madison County,” said Price. “I can promise our audiences—you will FEEL Performing in something. That’s what I’m excited about.

LEGACY
OF
MARIAN ANDERSON LIVES
Once in a Hundred Years, the Life and Legacy of Marian oing the Distance Films has announced the release of its most current project, Once in a Hundred Years, the Life and Legacy of Marian Anderson. Directed and produced by Bill Nicoletti, the film traces the arc of Anderson’s life and most notably her struggles against racism and poverty. Culminating with her battle against the Daughters of the American Revolution which led to her historic concert at The Lincoln Memorial with the assistance of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Anderson’s quest for equality was one to be heard around the world. “This is a true passion project for me. This is an incredible story that needs to be shared with people of all ages and all backgrounds,” said Nicoletti. “The immense interest in this film from many different people and organizations has given real voice to Marian Anderson’s important and inspiring journey,” he continued. The World premiere of Once in a Hundred Years will take place on February 23, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. at The Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater – just a stone’s throw from where Marian was born, and on the same street where her plaque is embossed in The Philadelphia Walk of Fame. The evening will include the film’s debut and a performance by Broadway actress, N’Kenge from the hit play Motown, followed by a Question and Answer session with Director Bill Nicoletti and a selected panel of scholars, relatives and friends of Marian Anderson.

FILM RELEASE
Anderson to Premiere at The Kimmel Center February 23 “Marian Anderson paved the way for countless performers and her stories of sacrifice and struggle resonate with women, particularly African American women, who still experience setbacks both and off the stage,” says Anne Ewers, President & CEO of the Kimmel Center or the Performing Arts. “We are thrilled that Mr. Nicoletti and Comcast chose The Kimmel Center as the location for the world premiere of this historic documentary that will inform and inspire future generations.” The film was inspired by Nicoletti’s admiration and interest in Marian Anderson, “As Americans, we have seen pictures and heard stories about the American civil rights movement. We know about Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglas, Rosa Parks and Jackie Robinson. We know the events of Selma and Montgomery and the stories of Dr. King and Malcolm X. But there is one great American story too many of us have never been told. That of young girl from South Philadelphia who, armed with only a voice, fought to break down one of the most daunting barriers closed to black Americans in the 1930s—the classical music stage,” said Nicoletti.

Attorney General Shapiro Announces Strong Start for Safe2Say School Safety Reporting Program ttorney General Josh Shapiro recently released information on the first-week results for the Safe2Say Something Anonymous Reporting System, a statewide program enabling students, teachers, school administrators and others to detect and report potential threats of violence and other problems before they happen. In the program’s initial week, the reporting system has received 615 tips and calls from across Pennsylvania. Crisis center analysts have processed every tip and referred more than several hundred to local law enforcement and school officials to follow up and interact with students. Established and funded by the Pennsylvania legislature and signed into law by Gov. Wolf last year, the Safe2Say Reporting System is based on strict principles of anonymity and confidentiality to encourage reporting of problems, potential threats of violence, self-harm or other incidents. Safe2Say already includes 3,774 public and private schools across the Commonwealth in its network. Last week, the program’s staff trained 178,283 students in how to use the reporting system. This week, plans are to complete trainings for an additional 166,883 students. “Pennsylvania students deserve a safe place to learn, free from the threat of violence from classmates or other individuals,” Attorney General Shapiro said in announcing the program’s first week of activity and results. “I’m proud my office was entrusted by the legislature to run this new program focused on school safety. Working together with local law enforcement and school officials, we can make Pennsylvania safer for families, teachers and, most importantly, our students.” Students, school officials and others can go to www.safe2saypa.org to learn more about this new school safety initiative. They can also call 1-844-Saf2Say (844-723-2729) to report information. The Office of Attorney General Shapiro is working closely with the Sandy Hook Promise on education and outreach on how to use this reporting system. Sandy Hook Promise is a national non-profit organization based in Newtown, Conn., formed after the school shooting in Sandy Hook in December, 2012. Its founders and directors include parents and others whose loved ones were killed in that tragedy. While Sandy Hook Promise has trained 3.5 million students and teachers in 50 states in best practices to detect and report signs of potential violence, Pennsylvania is the first location where Sandy Hook Promise is working across an entire state – with Attorney General Shapiro’s office. Officials involved with Pennsylvania schools and school boards said they are pleased with the early results of Safe2Say, and glad to be participating in the new initiative. “We trained staff yesterday on Safe2Say, and we trained students this morning,” Dr. Kenneth Williams, Director of Maintenance, Transportation and Technology for the Mount Pleasant School District, and also its Safe and Secure Schools Coordinator, reported recently to Safe2Say staff. “Within 10 minutes following the training, we received our first life safety tip. All of what was reported to us worked well. We have intervened and helped some students who may not have been identified. Thanks for the support and making it safe to say something for kids.” “The Safe2Say Something program introduced by the Office of the Attorney General is another tool school districts can use to gather information and respond to the safety considerations of students and the community,” said David Hutchinson, President of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and a board director of the State College Area School District. “Key benefits for school districts include the anonymity afforded their students and community members through the reporting system, training for students, and mechanisms for notification of immediate safety threats, as well as issues affecting student behavioral health and wellness,” Hutchinson said. “There is nothing more important than making our schools as safe as possible for students, staff, and visitors,” said Rich Askey, President of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) and a Harrisburg teacher. “Safe2Say Something provides our schools and communities with new tools to detect the early warning signs of trouble and act on them. I appreciate the hard work of the Attorney General’s Office to partner with our schools and communities to make Safe2Say a success.” Attorney General Shapiro praised the Pennsylvania legislature and Governor Wolf for supporting and funding the school safety program, and specifically commended Sens. Patrick Browne, R-Lehigh, and Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia, for their co-sponsorship of the legislation that created Safe2Say. “We’re working together every day on this 24/7 program to make students and schools safer, and we appreciate our partners in the legislature and the governor’s office for all their support,” Shapiro concluded.

Gari Weilbalbacher is a personal life coach and communications consultant who has made it her business to understand the need for people to unclutter their lives and the difficulties they face in doing it. Weilbacher will speak at the Bala Cynwyd Library on Thursday, February 21 about uncluttering, the whys and the hows. out, others simply because you’ve owned them for so long. But getting rid of things can be difficult, if not overwhelming. Sometimes a strategy is in order, and sometimes a more clear-headed outsider can help develop one. Gari Weilbalbacher is a personal life coach and communications consultant who has made it her business to understand the need for people to unclutter their lives and the difficulties they face in doing it. More importantly, she has developed methods to assist those who are trying to live with less. Weilbacher will speak at the Bala Cynwyd Library on Thursday, February 21 about uncluttering, the whys and the hows. Contributing things to those who need them can be motivating, and it’s much more satisfying than adding them to landfill. Weilbacher has compiled a list of charities and other institutions that welcome donations. She speaks of a client who was remodeling her whole house, “Every single thing has gone somewhere useful—whether bras to women in shelters, household items to refugees, furniture to auction, miscellaneous things to thrift shops, clothes to women re-entering the workforce. Every single thing.” She speaks sympathetically of items of emotional value. “I know that decluttering is emotionally hard and I have strategies to help people push through. This is especially the case when we are parting with things we’ve inherited but actually do not want.” Weilbacher will speak at the Bala Cynwyd Library, 131 Old Lancaster Road, on Thursday, February 21 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. For information, call 610-664-1196.

or its fifth show of the 2018-2019 season, The Players Club of Swarthmore presents Shakespeare in Hollywood, a supernatural, screwball comedy romp, by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo, Leading Ladies, Crazy for You). Shakespeare in Hollywood is directed by Paul Kerrigan. Tickets are available at www.pcstheater.org. For group rates, contact groupsales@pcstheater.org. It’s 1934 and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon (Brandon Young, Secane) and Puck (Jennifer Greenfield, Wynnewood) magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt’s (Jeffrey Barg, Philadelphia) A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz the two are ushered into the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant “asses” are tossed into loopy love triangles with raucous results. The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comedy. Additional cast members in Shakespeare in Hollywood include Valentina Raffaelli, Drexel Hill; Kevin Towell, Havertown; Anthony SanFilippo, Springfield; Rose E. Azrael, Brookhaven; Mark Jones, Springfield; Bernadette Langdon,

Equipped with this new understanding, participants will hear two brand new works and start a conversation with their composers. The workshop series exploring the cello’s journey through time and the many ways its history can illuminate our hearing of music, past and present. These interactive lecture recitals feature two brand new works for solo cello by Nick DiBerardino and Ira Mowitz. Participants will discover how this new music connects to the rich legacy of the cello’s past, emerging with a deeper experience of music. The series culminates in a recital on June 16, featuring the new commissions alongside staples from the solo cello repertoire. Contact the Music Department at 215-6865316 for information.
