October 4 - October 28 at Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Street in Center City. Opening night will be Wednesday, October 10 at 7 p.m. Set in the working class city of Hull, Broken Biscuits tells the story of three sixteen-yearolds, Megan, Holly, and Ben, who have officially lost any chance of being a part of the in-crowd. Facing the overwhelming prospect of leaving school and life away from home, Megan has an epiphany. She and her friends are going to become rock ‘n’ roll icons. Nevermind that they don’t play instruments and have no musical ability whatsoever. Rock ‘n’ roll is their ticket to love, acceptance, and adulation. In the garage behind Megan’s parents’ house, these three outsiders put their dreams on display in a hysterical coming-of-age story for our times. Playwright Tom Wells, whose work often returns to themes of reclaimed opportunities and nonconformists finding their voices, says of Broken Biscuits, “I like writing about people struggling with quite ordinary things, and maybe that happens quite a lot when you’re a teenager. All the awkward, embarrassing, funny stuff—exams and Saturday jobs and parents and wearing bad clothes, listening to the wrong music, not having sex—it all gets mixed up with figuring out who you are a bit, where you fit in in the world and where you don’t.” With a set design by Lance Kniskern, lighting design by Maria Shaplin, and costumes by Alison Roberts, the production team also welcomes long-time 1812 performer Dave Jadico. Jadico is an improviser and multi-instrumentalist who will take the cast through a rigorous course in learning several instruments and making rock ‘n’ roll on the fly. In addition to original music by Matthew Robins, this new production will also feature arrangements and music direction by Barrymore Award-winning sound designer and 1812 collaborator Christopher Colucci. “When I first read Broken Biscuits I fell in love with the hilarious dialogue and these characters that are so winning and finely drawn,“ says the show’s director Jennifer Childs. “It also has something to say about the need for kindness and authenticity in the midst of an unkind and dismissive world that I really connect to. It is a familiar story in many ways but I think its exuberance and positivity is welcome and necessary right now.” Broken Biscuits will have an open-captioned performance in English on Sunday, October 14 at 2 p.m. The show will also have a bilingual performance on Wednesday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. with the performance in English and open-captioning in Spanish. Broken Biscuits will play October 4 through October 28 at Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Place, in Center City, Philadelphia. Opening Night will be Wednesday, October 10 at 7 p.m. Tickets range from $28-$44 and are available at 215592-9560 or at www.1812productions.org.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Love Never Dies”
September 26 – October 2, 2018
“T HE M ONSTER IN T HE H ALL ”
Continued from front page
Continued from front page
after The Phantom’s disappearance from the Paris Opera House and he has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of Coney Island. In this new, electrically charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar, but he has never stopped yearning for his one true love and musical protégée Christine Daaé. Now, one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine accepts an invitation to travel from Paris to New York to perform at a renowned opera house. Christine’s marriage to Raoul is suffering at the hands of his drinking and gambling, and they desperately need the financial rewards that America can give them. In a final bid to win back Christine’s love, The Phantom lures her, Raoul, and their young son Gustave, from Manhattan to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island—not knowing what is in store for them. Directed by Simon Phillips (Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical) with new set and costume designs by Gabriela Tylesova, choreography by 2011 Astaire Awards winner Graeme Murphy, lighting design by Nick Schlieper, and sound design by Mick Potter, the show is one of the few instances of a major West End musical being given a complete makeover for subsequent productions. Lloyd Webber said he knew about five minutes into seeing its first run-through that he and the new production team had achieved something special. “I have the great joy of being able to say that I think this production is probably the finest one I could ever, ever hope for.” Since its premiere in 2010, Love Never Dies has enjoyed productions worldwide in London, Australia, Denmark, Japan, and Germany, as well as multiple recordings including a concept album and a London cast recording. A DVD release of the Australian production has delighted fans globally, and now the North American tour brings the musical to the U.S. for the first time. Other featured upcoming performances on the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus include: Fiddler on the Roof (October 23 - 28, 2018, Academy of Music), Roald Dahl’s Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (November 6 - 18, Academy of Music), and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical (December 19 - 29, Merriam Theater).
In the story, Duck Macatarsney and her widowed father are devoted to each other—but they are just getting by in the Scottish town of Kirkaldy. Her mother died in a motorcycle accident when she was just a baby and now Duck and her Hells Angel father take care of each other. But when Duck’s father wakes up blind from his ongoing struggles with MS, and a social worker is set to visit that day, Duck’s quest to prove to the world that she is totally normal will become a bit more challenging. Especially when Duck’s crush from school shows up with an unusual request and even more so when a strange woman with her face covered in piercings arrives from Norway. Grieg’s light-hearted play with music masterfully juggles true tragedy and typical teenage angst with the help of narration by a back-up band, The Marvelous Duckettes. Moyer added, “Think a fantastical version of the Shangri Las, and their tales of teenage heartbreak and motorcycle danger.” The Guardian wrote, “Where many a writer would have tackled this theme sanctimoniously, Greig treats it with heady irreverence, acknowledging the truth of the dilemma while recognizing a teenage girl has other matters to deal with. Life was never so complicated for the Shirelles.” Director Moyer points out that Duck just wants to be normal. She adds, “Duck is a young woman who doesn’t fit in, but she doesn’t really care about impressing the ‘in crowd.’ She’s got more important concerns than that! The Monster in the Hall is not so much about her relationship with school as it is her bond with her father. She’s an oddball, an outsider, and the whole story is told through her point of view. She doesn’t want to escape her world— she just wants her real-life world to be as wonderful as her interior life.” Tickets are on sale now for $15-$35 by calling 215-454-9776 or visiting www.inisnuatheatre.org.

Acting Without Boundaries (AWB) P R O U D LY PRESENTS
Sunday, Oct. 14 at 4 p.m.
The Homegrown String Band Trio will kick off Darlington Arts Center’s new Coffee House Concert season on Saturday evening, October 6. brought up to speed for a unique repertoire drawn from classic rural Americana. Comprised of husband and wife plus daughter, this dynamic group utilizes an eclectic palette of instruments to stamp their own musical DNA on a broad music genre. “The Coffee House Concert series provides a relaxed forum to showcase great music and superlative musicians,” says Darlington Executive Director Eric Carter-Thompson. “These concerts are another way the Arts Center engages the community offering opportunities to connect with the four arts of music, art, drama, and dance.” The annual live music concerts run from October to May and provide audiences with a mix of music styles to appeal to a variety of favorite genres. From bluegrass and folk to cool jazz, calypso, blues, and more, Darlington Coffee House Concerts run the gamut offering an eclectic mix able to satisfy nearly every music predilection. Prior to the concert, Darlington welcomes the public to attend the gallery opening for Chester County fine artist Kimberly Hoechst. Ms. Hoechst has enjoyed a passion for art, design, and creative endeavors throughout her life. She pursued formal training at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Her paintings have received praise at several juried shows, exhibitions, and venues in and around Philadelphia. “The greatest joy of having become a painter is going through each day perceiving things with an eye toward their potential to be expressed as art,” says Kim. “The interplay of light and shadow inspires me to paint because this dynamic can make ordinary things intriguing or dramatic and reveal beautiful things in an unexpected way. I often paint local places, but any location or object is fair game if the light and shadows dominate.” The combination of an art opening with a live music concert make for an entertaining evening at the Darlington Arts Center the first weekend in October. “As this is our fortieth Oil painting by Kim Hoechst titled “The Magic Hour.” year of bringing the four arts to the community, we are excited to offer a variety of venues to area residents to engage the arts, reinforced Director Carter-Thompson. “We are intent on making Darlington the popular destination to participate and celebrate the arts,” he concluded. Contact the arts center for concert tickets and table reservations. Tickets are available for individual concerts or for the entire series. There are great musicians on tap from October to May playing in an intimate setting that provided pure listening pleasure. Come and enjoy great music and performers up close. Next on the schedule is Geri Smith and her soulful blues, jazz, and rock to elevate and set the mood on Saturday night, November 10. Tickets prices are: $10 for members, $15 at the gate (please call for member discount). Tickets price Includes free coffee, tea, and desserts (BYOB – corkscrew & glasses provided) 7:30 p.m. is an open mic segment with featured performer at 8 p.m. Advanced ticket purchase is recommended.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL & EDUCATION NEWS
Friends’ Central Teachers Spend Summer REThinking at Drexel Anna explained, “Michael and I helped the team at Drexel implement a new form of signal processing on data obtained by the belly band. It included a knitted radio frequency antenna that connects to a radio frequency identification chip, similar to what is found in your EZ-Pass or your credit/debit card.” Since the belly bands would expand, the antennae size would warp and change its frequency, affecting the power of the signal sent back to the reader. The goal would be to use two chips – one on the belly band and one in another location, like the shoulder, not affected by the breathing. Michael shared that one of the issues was the data stream from the belly band, particularly extracting the signal from the noise. He described, “One chip would have the signal and noise produced by the breathing. The other chip would produce just the signal. Then we could hopefully extract the noise.” For both Anna and Michael, this project was an incredibly rewarding way to spend their summer. Michael said, “I’m absolutely glad I participated, and I would recommend it to any teacher. You don’t have to be a computer science teacher. It was incredibly satisfying, just knowing that the work was meaningful, taking place in a real lab needing real solutions.” Anna echoed Michael’s sentiments, saying, “The exciting part was they were offering a real research lab experience, and it was something cutting-edge that I could bring back to my students. It also gave me the motivation and confidence to bring coding into my physics class.” Both Michael and Anna will be incorporating this project into their classes – Michael with his second semester computer science class, and Anna with her physics class.
For six weeks this summer, Friends’ Central Upper School teachers Michael Darfler and Anna Schall participated in an exciting, cutting-edge summer learning opportunity called REThink. or six weeks this summer, Friends’ Central Upper School teachers Michael Darfler and Anna Schall participated in an exciting, cutting-edge summer learning opportunity called REThink. A National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded program that provides research experience for teachers at various universities across the US, the REThink program took place at Drexel University’s College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) and focused on “Machine Learning to Enhance Human-Centered Computing.” Anna and Michael worked with William Mongan in the Drexel Wireless System’s Lab, looking at using knit Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antennas in smart garments called Belly Bands to measure respiration in infants, particularly premature infants, and perinatal women. The Belly Bands’ electrical properties change as they expand, and the changes can be measured and translated into contractions or respiration without wires or batteries, creating a more comfortable, non-invasive form of monitoring.

Holy Child’s playground renovations were sparked by the school’s belief that physical play is an essential part of a child’s development and education, especially in a technology-driven world. Their previous playgrounds were completely torn down and replaced with all new equipment over the summer – including swings, slides, and plenty of places to safely climb. The funds for the renovations were raised by faculty, staff, parents, and community members during Holy Child’s 2018 Auction, Midnight in Miramar.

Sustainable Living Lecture Series on How to Naturalize Your Backyard Three Part Lecture Series Hosted by Lower Merion Conservancy and Narberth Area Garden Club omeowners can learn how to improve water quality, reduce pollution and enhance the beauty of their yard during the upcoming lecture series “Sustainable Living: Naturalizing Your Backyard.” Presented by the Lower Merion Conservancy and The Narberth Area Gardening Club, the three part event educates homeowners on the environmental costs of lawn care, pesticide use and gardening practices. Guests will learn how to reduce the impacts of storm water runoff through sustainable and “native” yard care tips from environmental experts. Each event is free to members of the Lower Merion Conservancy and Narberth Area Garden Club, $5 for non-members. The lectures will take place on October 4, November 1 and December 6 from 7:15 - 8:30 p.m. at Narberth Borough Hall, 100 Conway Ave., Narberth, PA. Registration is available online at www.LMconservancy.org or by calling or call 610-645-9030. Topics will focus on the following: The American Lawn: October 4, 7:15 – 8:30 p.m. On Thursday, October 4, Karen Snetselaar, professor of biology at Saint Joseph’s University, will share her expertise during, “The American Lawn: Where It Comes From, What It Costs and Ways to Make It More Environmentally Friendly.” It turns out that the cultural norm of a green, weed free lawn is not so green for the environment. Maintaining a lush lawn comes with a price. The chemicals and pesticides used to keep lawns green, weed less and pest free, can contaminate both soil and water quality. Snetselaar tackles the peer-pressure homeowners may feel to maintain a conventional lawn and provides environmentally friendly alternatives. To register, visit: https://conta.cc/2MjQhRv or call or call 610-645-9030. Spray and Pray: November 1, 7:15 – 8:30 p.m. On Thursday, November 1, Dan Duran, evolutionary biologist and associate teaching professor at Rowan University, will tackle the impact of pesticide use during “Spray and Pray: Misguided Faith in Pesticides Isn’t the Answer to Our Mosquito and Tick Problems.” Pesticides take a toll on human health, water quality and the environment. With a growing fear of Lyme Disease, West Nile Virus and Zika, pesticides use has skyrocketed, but has not been effective in stopping or preventing vector-borne illness. Duran presents environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pest control. To register, visit: https://conta.cc/2QkoiUY or call 610-645-9030. Experimenting with Native Plants: December 6, 7:15 – 8:30 p.m. The importance of gardening with native plants will be presented by John Janick, owner of Good Host Plants, on Thursday, December 6, in the program, “Experimenting with Native Plants in the Home Landscape.” Because these plants have adapted to local soils, they do not require extra fertilizer or water. Their deep and extensive root systems, which prevent erosion and offer extra filtration, play a role in reducing the impacts of stormwater runoff. Native plants also attract certain animals and insects that are drawn to a recognizable food source. Homeowners can learn more about organic gardening techniques and native plants during this presentation. To register, visit: https://conta.cc/2CFJL7N or call 610-645-9030. “We hope this series will debunk some of the myths about lawn care, like needing to use pesticides to control backyard bugs, and help the community to understand that they don’t have to maintain a standard grass lawn on their property. Planting a beautiful, native backyard can be easy and is healthier for humans, our water sources, and attracts desirable wild-

3 RD A NNUAL S UPERHERO S HOWDOWN R ACE First Nationally Recognized Nonprofit for MCAD Created by Late Upper Merion Teenager uper T’s Mast Cell Foundation will hold their 3rd Annual Superhero Showdown Race at The Norristown Farm Park on Saturday, October 6, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. Super T’s Mast Cell Foundation was created by Upper Merion teenager Taylor Nearon who was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Disease, or Mast Cell Activation Disorder, on July 7, 2015. Taylor passed away in her mother’s arms on September 28, 2017 after a brave battle with MCAD. Three months after her death, Super T’s Mast Cell Foundation officially became a reality. It is the first nationally recognized nonprofit 501(c)(3) offering financial resources for MCAD patients and families. Currently, there are only 2,000 known cases of MCAD. During Taylor’s final months, she instructed her mother, Tammy Nearon, to continue the fight on behalf of other MCAD patients. “Mommy, don’t forget me,” Taylor said. In two years, Super T’s Mast Cell Foundation has raised $61,000 and awarded six grants to MCAD patients to assist with living and medical expenses caused by the disease. Before receiving the rare diagnosis, Taylor Nearon was a varsity soccer player, ran track, volunteered in the community, and spent time with her friends, family, and puppy Baxter. “She was known for her speed when she played sports. We joked that we were going to get her a cape. When she got sick, we would say, ‘Super T’s got this,’” said Tammy Nearon. Taylor Nearon spent most of her senior year completing coursework through Cyber School. Upon graduation from Upper Merion High School in 2015, she had been accepted to every college she applied to but had to relinquish all of her acceptances and scholarships due to MCAD. In July 2015, Taylor and Tammy went to Minnesota to visit the top Mast Cell specialist to seek answers. They eventually found Dr. Fiddler at Abington Hospital who Tammy praises for saving Taylor’s life at the time by starting her on continuous IV Benadryl. Taylor Nearon was officially diagnosed with MCAD at eighteen-years-old but it took over five years to receive the right diagnosis. MCAD is a rare condition where the body produces too many cells within various organs, or the mast cells do not function properly. Taylor Nearon’s cells were in normal range but did not act or operate correctly, which caused symptoms of swelling, hives, nausea, and anaphylaxis. “This is an under recognized community of patients. When people support MCAD, it shows they are not forgotten,” said Tammy Nearon. The Superhero Showdown Race consists of 15K, 5K, and one-mile run/walk. This year’s race is dedicated to the memory of Dave DeRosa, an Upper Merion Area Middle School teacher who passed away in July. Taylor Nearon participated in many activities at the middle school with DeRosa. This year’s Super Hero Showdown Race will be the first since Taylor Nearon’s death. “Every day I miss my baby girl. But I know this was her dream, her passion. I keep going because she kept going through more than I can even imagine,” said Tammy Nearon. About Super T’s Mast Cell Foundation: The mission of Super T’s Mast Cell Foundation is to increase awareness through education and support for the mast cell community, medical professionals and the public. We work to hold events and identify donors to provide financial assistance for patients and families impacted by the disease. The Foundation also offers physician-based medical literature for patients and caregivers, resources within the mast cell community such as social media links, foundations and support outlets.

CITY SUBURBAN NEWS – Your Community Paper for 34 Years!
pper Darby Township presents “Oldies Night, A Salute to Veterans,” a live concert to celebrate the region’s veterans on October 6 at 7 p.m. at Upper Darby Performing Arts Center. With the nationally renowned doo-wop groups Jay Siegel’s Tokens and The Happenings – plus the region’s well-known ‘girl group,’ The First Ladies of Rock and Soul – the evening will prove to be a fun, entertaining, and nostalgic night of outstanding live music and will have the audience rocking’ down Memory Lane. The evening is co-hosted by Lou Costello and Steve Kurtz of Cruisin’ 92.1 FM WVLT. Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue in Drexel Hill, PA. Tickets are $40 - $45. UDPAC members and veterans save $2. Tickets may be purchased online at www.udpac.org or by calling the box office at 610-622-1189. One of pop music’s most versatile and enduring groups, Jay Siegel’s Tokens have remained popular with generation after generation since their first smash hit “Tonight I Fell In Love” soared to the top of the charts in 1961. Soon after, the group landed at #1 with their signature song, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” The Happenings’ major hit was “See You In September” (1966) which was originally recorded by The Tempos in 1959. Their recording of the Carole King and Gerry Goffin composition “Go Away Little Girl” was a Billboard Top 20 hit single in 1966. Their cover of “Runaround Sue” was a doo-wop number one hit for Dion in 1961. The First Ladies of Rock and Soul kick off the night with the “girl group” experience and will get the audience movin’ and groovin’ with songs by The Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Shirelles, The Marvelettes, Mary Wells and more. The ladies perform many Motown favorites including “Da Do Ron Ron,” “Going to the Chapel,” “Be My Baby,” “Too Many Fish in the Sea,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “The Locomotion,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” and many others. Thomas N. Micozzie, Mayor of Upper Darby Township, is proud the township is recognizing the region’s veterans with an evening of live music by renowned recording artists. “It is important to honor the sacrifices the veterans in this region have made throughout the years to protect our country. What better way than a live concert to bring our veterans together to enjoy excellent nostalgic music? We know the audience is going to have a great time walking down Memory Lane during this outstanding performance.” The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center and Upper Darby Summer Stage are 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.
