The Walworth Farce
Presented by Inis Nua Theatre Company
What can happen when we become stuck by the stories we tell about our lives? Following on the success of Inis Nua’s production of Bedbound in 2010, visit the world of Enda Walsh again in the rundown London bedsit of a seemingly exiled father and his two sons. Twisting and turning, this farce combines uproarious comedic moments with shocking realism to portray a family absorbed by their own personal mythology.
Originally commissioned by Druid Theatre Company, The Walworth Farce was a huge success at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (and winner of the Scotsman Fringe First Award) and was later staged in London at the National Theatre. This is a Philadelphia premiere.

Cynthia Norton: Freedom Rings Placed Within
Presented by Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)
Continuing the Morris Gallery program, PAFA presents an exhibition by Cynthia Norton, an artist who lives and works in Louisville, Kentucky. Influenced by the folk aesthetics and history of her surroundings, Norton’s work employs music, video, mixed media, and performance as her country music alter ego Ninnie, in a manner that combines feminist thought with local and vernacular imagery inspired by the cultural traditions of the rural South and specifically of her native Kentucky. While often combining these different mediums, Norton uses the portrayal of the comedic country rube as a strategy to explore the peculiar relationships between folk traditions, readymade sculpture, storytelling, and technology. Her works often have a “homespun” quality—from self-made musical instruments made from suitcases and tennis rackets, to gritty lyrics sung by an amateur voice—which points to her “affirmative belief in the power of womanly arts.” These makeshift elements combined with her quirky persona—complete with old-timey Southern costumes fit for a country music star—all attest to Norton’s creativity and inventiveness.

Witness a period of our history that shows the expanding horizons of both Europe and America. There will also be a farm day with early colonial music (11 am-2 pm), textile demonstrations, hearth cooking (Sunday only) and tea in the parlor.

The Blackboard Jungle
Presented by The Colonial Theatre
A young Sidney Poitier also has a featured role in this earlier (1955) rendering of the theme of dedicated teachers dealing with delinquent kids in a tough school environment; only this time Poitier is a student in a violent New York City school, and Glenn Ford plays the role of the put-upon, earnest teacher.
Ford plays Korean War veteran Richard Dadier (“Hey, Mr. Daddy-O!”) taking on his first teaching job and faced with one of the toughest groups of kids ever shown in a film up to this time. With excellent supporting performances by Anne Francis (as Ford’s long-suffering wife), Richard Kiley (as an idealistic colleague), and Vic Morrow (as the pupil from hell), this is a searing commentary on the negative aspects of urban school life in the late 1950s that still has much resonance today. (NOTE: Blackboard Jungle has the unique honor of having introduced rock-and-roll to the movie- going public, thanks to its theme of “Rock Around the Clock,” sung throughout the film by local singing group Bill Haley and the Comets.) (Bill Roth)
Directed by Richard Brooks. US. 1955. NR. 101 min. Warner Bros. 35mm.

Todd Rundgren
Presented by State Theatre (State College, PA) at State Theatre (State College, PA)
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential 60's cult group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972's seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight.
He has also been prolific as a producer and engineer on the recorded work of other musicians.? Rundgren's myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock's Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp's 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton's Up Against It (the screenplay commisioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture). He also has composed the music for a number of television series, including Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Crime Story.

What is an insect? How do insects spend their lives? We'll explore the fields, ponds and forest of the Schuylkill Center in search of our six-legged friends. Your little entomologist will have the chance to make an insect observation chamber for their own explorations at home.
Seedlings programs are for curious young naturalists-to-be between the ages of 3 and 5 years and their parents and caregivers. Each program highlights a different aspect of nature and encourages children and their caregivers to explore the natural world together.
Programs are now offered every Monday. The format alternates weekly between guided nature play and a more structured educational program. Each Monday offers your choice of a morning or afternoon session. Adult participation is required.

2nd Annual Argentine Tango Festival
Presented by Philadelphia Argentine Tango School
Sensual, passionate, dramatic and dangerous, Argentine tango is a captivating social dance that emerged in Buenos Aires at the turn of the 20th Century. In essence little more than walking in someone else’s arms, the dance is notable for its accessibility, offering something for practitioners of all ages and physical abilities. The 2nd Annual Philadelphia Tango Festival will attract dancers from all over the country for 3 days and 4 nights of workshops, milongas (social dances) featuring expert DJs and performances by world-renowned tango professionals.
However, even if you’re new to tango, the 2nd Annual Philadelphia Tango Festival has something for you. In fact, the festival’s Absolute Beginner Track will enable first-time dancers to immerse themselves in Argentine Tango over the course of an extended weekend. Condensing the curriculum of a 4-week series into one weekend, the Beginner Track will cover the basics of tango vocabulary, structure, technique and lead-and-follow improvisation. We change partners after every song, so it’s not necessary to register with a partner. The Beginner Track is taught by master teacher Damian Lobato, an Argentine native and resident instructor at the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School, who has been dancing tango for over 20 years, and has traveled worldwide to teach tango.
The festival is an incredible opportunity for intensive study under world-class tango instructors that teach all over the globe. Experienced and aspiring tango dancers won’t want to miss the nightly milongas - tango social dances - where all will dance into the wee hours to the selections of masterly DJS and marvel over performances by world-renowned tango professionals. Participation in classes for all levels and the evening milongas will allow for new students to get to know the Philadelphia tango community, which has been growing and gaining vibrancy at an astonishing rate.
Most festival events will take place in the spacious, atmospheric ballroom at the Ruba Club in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia, just north of Center City. The area has come into its own in a big way in the past few years and is replete with lovely restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and nice places to wander. The Ruba Club features, among many other amenities, an on-site cash bar.
Pre-registration is highly recommended as many events will sell out. You may register securely on the festival site.

Onions and Gumbo: An Art Program for Young People Ages 7-12
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
We’d like to think of this art program as an onion – enabling you to shed your boundaries, fears, doubts, etc. to get to the inner core of who you are as a person exploring art.
After living in the south, Erin Donnelly and Adrienne Hart, the creators of the program, have grown quite accustomed to gumbo. Gumbo is a traditional southern meal, originating in the south using whatever ingredients were easily available. This ‘ingredient diversity’ means that gumbo varies from state to state, town to town and household to household. It is ever-changing and it is a constant melting pot of many families. We hope to use this metaphor in our art sessions, constantly working with community members and their children to create an art-friendly environment and teach one another how to give and take from the community around us.

Finding My Voice: Abstract Works in Fiber - Exhibit by Judith Merrell at Darlington Arts Center
Presented by Darlington Arts Center at Darlington Arts Center
Darlington Arts Center is proud to present the new work of fiber artist Judith Merrell in a solo show entitled Finding My Voice: Abstract Works in Fiber. Her lifelong passion for fabric drives the many-step process she uses to make abstract wall quilts. She combines all types of different fabric manipulation techniques – folding, tearing, cutting, stitching, dyeing, over-dyeing, painting, rusting, ironing and layering – to create her works. Judith takes joy in turning flat cloth into surprisingly dimensional pieces – decorative or wearable – a skill that intrigues her and engages the viewer.
The exhibit's free opening reception will be Saturday, May 5th from 3-5 pm and is a great chance to meet the artist, view her work and discuss her inspiration while enjoying some complementary wine and cheese.

Grilled Cheese and Craft Beer Tasting
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
World Cafe has taken two of the best things on earth – grilled cheese and craft beer – and paired them together in unexpected and delicious ways.
That's right, there's no American Cheese and Wonder Bread in sight. Instead, they use the best quality locally sourced ingredients for these creations, as well as hard to find imports from around the world.
How does a Yards Saison paired with Old Bay cheddar on brioche with a mini crab cake, sound?
Or maybe an Italian Cacio de Lazio on Herbes de Provence bread with tomato & kalamata olive puree along with New Holland Brewing’s Golden Cap Saison Ale?
If that isn't good enough, after four delectable cheese and beer courses, finish off with a dessert to die for…perhaps a Victory Storm King Stout Strawberry shortcake with drunken berries and fresh orange whipped cream, or a Darkhorse Raspberry Ale sea salt chocolate mousse...
Hungry yet? These are just some of the items we've served at past events (which always sell out), so don't miss out on what's coming up next!

The McLovins with Anthony Krizan, former Spin Doctor's Guitarist and Four The Day
Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia
The genesis of The McLovins was forged from a series of chance encounters between the three founders at various music camps during 2008. Bassist Jason Ott, drummer Jake Huffman and guitarist Jeff Howard realized from their first practices that they all shared a similar musical integrity and a desire to perform; the band was born.
The McLovins soon started playing shows locally in and around southern New England, and they quickly defined their sound which is an amalgam of funk, soul, jazz and jam rock. As they self-released their debut album Conundrum the band again broadened their sound as they had embraced improvisational jamming. This new musical influence led to them to record their version of Phish’s "You Enjoy Myself," which instantly became an online viral hit and bought them to the attention of Relix and Rolling Stone magazines while also putting them on the jam-band map. Concerts supporting local and national acts quickly followed, as well as spots performing in regional music festivals.

Violin & Viola Instruction
Presented by Portside Arts Center at Portside Arts Center
Private violin lessons:
Students will receive detailed one-on-one training on how to play the violin, read music, and learn to recognize sounds by ear. All levels of musical experience are welcomed, and students are required to have their own instrument on which to practice. Goals are to help increase a student’s technical abilities and also foster a love for music.
Group violin lessons:
It is just as important to learn how to collaborate with other musicians as it is to develop your own craft. Group lessons will consist of basic ensemble playing, potentially with multiple string parts, and rehearsals will be geared towards a performance for friends and family. The goal in group lessons is to generate a sense of artistic community as you make music together.

Harper Blynn CD Release Party
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
Harper Blynn is classic pop reimagined. The band’s instantly hummable music is remarkable not only for its breadth but also its intimacy, ranging from four-on-the-floor dance stompers to near-whispered pleas for understanding. In 2009, the Brooklyn quartet caught the ear of journeyman producer David Kahne (Paul McCartney, The Strokes), who signed on to produce their debut full-length, Loneliest Generation. Besides playing over 150 dates in 2010, the band also managed to release a self-produced eponymous EP that demonstrates the tremendous growth and confidence that a year on the road can provide. As inspiring as these recordings are, Harper Blynn effortlessly transcends them in concert, delivering three-part harmonies over a smartly-arranged blend of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums that is at once minimalistically modern and timelessly organic. In fact, the band’s musical proficiency and on-stage chemistry raise an uncomfortable question: “Where did all the real bands go?” We may never know for sure, but at least there’s one still standing: Harper Blynn.

Have Gags Will Travel: The Life and Times of a New York Cartoonist
Presented by James A. Michener Art Museum - Doylestown at James A. Michener Art Museum - Doylestown
The Michener Art Museum will take a close look at that path in Have Gags Will Travel: The Life and Times of a New York Cartoonist, on view in the Pfundt Gallery. This exhibit is sponsored by Mary Lou and Andrew Abruzzese, The Pineville Tavern. From The New Yorker to Boys’ Life, from lurid detective magazines to church quarterlies, the “gag” has become such a staple of American life that we rarely notice the skills that go into making them. Sylvia Getsler (1926-2009) was a rarity in the cartooning world—a highly successful female gag artist whose work was published in the Saturday Evening Post, Playboy, True Detective, McCall’s, and Ladies Home Journal. Getsler made hundreds of these gags that were published around the world, but her heart was in the wit and innocence of children. This exhibit focuses on her beautifully drawn gags of kids—kids who want to understand grown-ups but maybe never be one, kids who are wise beyond their years but constantly befuddled by the strange rituals of adulthood. “Although I treasure the memory of my mother telling me that I was sometimes her inspiration for these gags, the truth is that her own independent thinking and incredible wit made this work her most successful series,” says Cohen.

Johnny Never and the Solar Pimps
Presented by The Twisted Tail
Delta blues artist Johnny Never and his band, The Solar Pimps, will perform at the Twisted Tail. Mr. Never and the “Pimps” pump out some pretty authentic Delta, Piedmont, and East Texas sounds featuring stellar finger style, standard and slide guitars. Appearing with Johnny Never is guest harmonica player, the legendary Seth Holtzman, along with Pimp regular players Frank Luca on guitars and upright bassist George Livanos.
In a blues world that is almost entirely electric and seems to be getting louder all the time, Johnny Never and the Solar Pimps manage to inject real drive and soul into an all-acoustic format, rendering compelling renditions of roots blues standards from Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzey, Blind Willie McTell, and others as well as original songs that capture the spirit of the old juke joints and can get you up on your feet.
They offer an authentic sound. The Baltimore Blues society says ".. Johnny Never is the real deal!! Delta and Piedmont blues rarely heard this far north! A rare treat.”
They are veteran performers, having played in venues and festivals from Washington DC to New York.

Thank you for helping us protect and conserve this wonderful garden.
Tyler Formal Gardens were built in the early 1930s on a hilltop overlooking Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County. They served as an "outdoor parlor" for George F. and Stella Tyler, original owners of the property. The gardens currently reflect early twentieth-century horticulture, and originally were greatly influenced by larger French and Italian gardens. Tyler Formal Gardens are divided into levels and compartments, separated by stone walls and shrubs, and feature an espalier, sodded lawns, water fountains, gravel pathways and bronze sculpture.

Exhibition - The View From 915
Presented by Philadelphia Center for Architecture at Philadelphia Center for Architecture
In celebration of the 30th anniversary, this show celebrates works done over the years depicting The View from 915 in painted and photographic images. The exhibition reveals how the urban landscape has changed over time and the varied ways artists depict the same views.
In 1981, the fourth floor of the historic Reading Building at 915 Spring Garden Street, was leased for studio space by local artists Steve Donegan and Syd Carpenter. They sublet their extra space to a group of painters, potters, framers and graphic designers. Eventually over 100 artists’ studios filled the entire five floors and basement of the building.
During the past 30 years, nearly 500 Philadelphia artists have worked there. The tenants include recent art school graduates and a roster of nationally and internationally known artists.
Artists have been attracted to the 915 Building because of its reasonable rents, sense of community, sturdy architecture, and large windows on all four sides of the building. In addition to providing good light for working, the windows present wonderful views of the surrounding Philadelphia neighborhoods and landmarks.
Among the artists participating in this show are Stanley Bielen, Patrick Connors, Rachel Constantine, Steve Donegan, Chris Feiro, Tish Ingersoll, Charles Newman, Greg Prestegord and many more.
The show is curated by Carol Cole, a sculptor who has had a studio in the building since 1981. For more information, you may contact her at carol@carolcole.com or 610-664-2825.

Jonathan Edwards
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Hosted by WXPN's Gene Shay. This special concert is a meeting of old friends... Jon and Gene have seen folk music grow and change over many decades, and will share glowing memories of the highways and byways, the people, and the timeless music that joins them!
Warm as summer sunshine, real as the truth, intimate as a long overdue visit between old friends … such is a Jonathan Edwards concert. Four decades into a stellar career of uncompromising musical integrity, the man simply delivers, night after night – songs of passion, songs of insight, songs of humor, all rendered in that pure and powerful tenor which, like fine wine, has only grown sweeter with age.
This is one veteran performer who is neither grizzled nor nostalgic. These days Jonathan Edwards, a vital and relevant artist in today’s folk and Americana scenes, is most likely to be found on the road with longtime accompanist Stuart Schulman on bass, piano, fiddle, and vocals and Taylor Armerding, formerly of Northern Lights, on mandolin and high-tenor vocals. “I’ve been … doing what I do best, which is playing live in front of people. I’ve been concentrating on that and loving it,” he says.
An artist who measures his success by his ability to attract and take good care of an audience for four decades, Jonathan maintains that it is the feedback he receives after his shows that keeps him going. “It is really gratifying to hear [someone say], ‘Your stuff has meant a lot to me over the years.’”

Finbar Furey
Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia
Finbar Furey has left his mark on the music of Ireland for more than four decades. As the lead singer, banjo and uillean pipes player for The Fureys, a group he shared with his brothers Eddie, Paul and George he helped to guide the evolution of Ireland's traditional music. Since leaving the band to pursue a solo career in 1995, Furey has continued to attract attention with his gutsy approach to the music of the Emerald Isle.
In 1978 The Fureys and Davey Arthur were formed with Paul and George joining their older brothers along with Davey. In 1995, Furey left the group to launch a solo career and his reputation as a solo artist has increased with every performance. He has toured extensively in Britain, Australia and Europe, treating audiences to evenings of pure Irish magic, great music, good humour, and the charm and sparkling wit associated with one of Ireland's great raconteurs. From his early folk days in the late 60¡¯s to a more contemporary, raw and emotional style today, his music is determined, irresistibly intriguing and reflective and re©\affirms his status as one of our great folk heroes.

A Conversation with Eva Gabrielsson, Author of There are Things I Want You to Know
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
For more than three decades, Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg Larsson—author of the internationally bestselling Millenium trilogy of Swedish crime thrillers that began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo—were inseparable. Famous only in death, Larsson was a fervent feminist, activist, and journalist who portrayed right-wing extremism and insidious neo-Nazi movement in Sweden.
In There Are Things I Want You to Know, Gabrielsson lays out the parallels and gaps between the literary narratives of Larsson’s three books and the violent modern-day Sweden that few people knew about and Larsson railed against, all while telling their love story and her stifling anguish after his death.
In conversation with John Timpane, staff writer, the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Teetotallers
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
"If someone told me about a new trio comprised of Martin Hayes, Kevin Crawford, and John Doyle, I would have replied: keep dreaming. Yet that’s exactly what we have: a dream team made real." -Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo
This tour, featuring three giants of the Irish trad scene, promises to be one of the musical highlights of 2012. Where to start? One of the most important Irish musicians of his generation, fiddler Martin Hayes had picked up six all-Ireland championships by the age of 19 before setting off on an musical odyssey that has brought his lyrical east Clare sound into the worlds of jazz, film, theatre and modern dance.
Virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Kevin Crawford has been a key member of two of Ireland’s most celebrated instrumental bands, Moving Cloud and Lúnasa. Awash with plaudits for his solo albums, the former Irish Echo Artist of the Year has also collaborated with the likes of Grianán, Raise the Rafters, Joe Derrane, Natalie Merchant, Susan McKeown and Sean Tyrrell.
Dubliner John Doyle’s filigree finger-picking guitar style is the perfect foil for the understated mastery of Hayes and Crawford. A founding member of Irish-American band Solas and recently bandleader for the Joan Baez band, Doyle received a Grammy nomination in 2009 for his collaboration with Chicago fiddler Liz Carroll, Double Play. And did we mention Doyle’s tenor vocals and cracking bouzouki and mandola playing? Simply unmissable.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
“In The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, the director John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) exhibits a respect for characters in their sixties and seventies. A group of pensioners are drawn to India by a Photoshopped brochure, and wind up in a ramshackle old hotel run by an ebullient young man (Dev Patel).
The voyagers include a widow (Judi Dench); a much divorced flirt (Celia Imrie); a sourpuss in need of a hip operation (Maggie Smith); a grizzled Don Juan (Ronald Pickup); a distinguished, gay former jurist (Tom Wilkinson); and a long-married couple (Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy). They turn an obvious idea into an emotional adventure guided by superb craftsmanship. Judi Dench delivers one of her most wide-ranging and moving performances.” (David Denby, The New Yorker)
Directed by John Madden. UK. 2011. PG-13. 124 min. Fox Searchlight. 35mm.

'Every Time I Think of You' Author Jim Provenzano
Presented by Giovanni's Room at Giovanni's Room
Author Jim Provenzano’s fourth novel, Every Time I Think of You, has been nominated for a 2011 award in the Gay Romance category of the Lambda Literary Award finals. Set in various Pennsylvania cities in 1979-1980, the novel tells of two teenage boys faced with a near fatal accident.
Meet the author for a reading and book-signing!
“A beautiful story of friendship, devotion and love, as well as a practical lesson on dealing with physically challenged individuals.”
– Eric Lind, Echo magazine
“[Every Time I Think of You] opens readers' eyes, minds and hearts to corners of the world they may never have realized existed. Everett's paralysis (he's clobbered by a lacrosse stick) is less metaphoric, more an opportunity to explore the effect of disability on two growing boys who just happen to be gay. It's not easy to write a novel about sports, gay teenagers and sex in (and out of) wheelchairs. Jim Provenzano has done it, with grace and power.”

Liz Longley with Robby Hecht
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
In the short time since her graduation from Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, singer-songwriter Liz Longley has assembled quite an impressive resume. While best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Liz has quickly built a reputation as an accomplished songwriter, crafting intimately personal portraits through her music. Liz's ever expanding fan base is not the only group to acknowledge her talent. In 2010 alone, Liz took home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country; the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest.
While she has frequently opened shows for established artists such as Mindy Smith, Nanci Griffith, Paula Cole, Livingston Taylor, Amos Lee, Shawn Colvin, Colin Hay and America, it is becoming clear that Liz is coming into her own as a performer. The Washington Post declared that she is "destined for a bigger audience," Dig Boston called her "a rising acoustic sensation" and even John Mayer is a fan, calling her music "gorgeous, just gorgeous."
Robby Hecht is a romantic realist. He writes melodic and captivating songs that don't shy away from the complexity of human relationships and delivers them with a smooth tenor that evokes both sorrow and hope. His new record, and second solo effort, takes the listener through a broad spectrum of emotions touching on forgiveness, love, indifference, joy, self-doubt and more. He writes with an honesty that captures the truth of a sentiment, building allegorical themes that allow anyone to relate the songs to the experiences of his or her own life.
With its blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation, Last of The Long Days harkens back to a time when well-crafted lyrics and timeless melodies ruled the radio airwaves. It is a low-key stunner, an album marked by well-crafted melodies, poetic lyrics and arrangements that bring every note and emotion to life. Producer Lex Price (Mindy Smith, Matthew Ryan) has fashioned an intimate yet powerful record full of understated touches that add emotional resonance to every song. Hecht and Price have created a record that slowly unfolds to reveal its emotional depth, the more so with every listen.

Third World
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Third World is one of the longest-lived reggae bands of all time and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. While the band was long capable of authentic roots reggae, they usually preferred to mix in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock (and, later on, dancehall and rap).
Third World was originally formed in 1973 by keyboardist Michael "Ibo" Cooper and guitarist/cellist Steven "Cat" Coore. Both had received formal training at music schools in Jamaica and had played around the Kingston reggae scene before joining the original lineup of Inner Circle around 1968. When they left to form their own band in 1973, they took Inner Circle bassist Richard Daley with them, and also recruited drummer Carl Barovier, percussionist Irvin "Carrot" Jarrett, and lead singer Milton "Prilly" Hamilton. Barovier was quickly replaced by Cornell Marshall, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica's independence celebration.
After 23 albums including smashing hits and countless sold-out tours, the 10-time Grammy-nominated Third World is kicked into high gear to hail in the approach of their 40th Anniversary as a group, and they’re celebrating with performances in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean.

Jim Hanft & Samantha Yonack
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
In some way Jim Hanft's music feels like it's been in your collection for years. Maybe it's the lyrics that you've thought, but been too afraid to say. Maybe it's the warmth of his voice during the crest of a helpless verse. Or maybe it's the nostalgic nature of his song that leaves you thinking, "Wait, I've been here before." Regardless of what it is, Jim Hanft has set out to paint his life in songs using his voice, guitar and a broken harmonica. It was in late 2009 after a small show in New York City that Jim Hanft was approached by Veranda Records owner Petra Marten. With a twenty dollar bill and a Swedish accent, Petra bought whatever Jim was selling and a few weeks later she offered him a record deal.

Debbie Dadey FIRST FRIDAY Book Signing
Presented by Doylestown Bookshop at Doylestown Bookshop
Debbie Dadey, author of the amazingly popular ADVENTURES OF THE BAILEY SCHOOL KIDS book series will be here to sign copies of her lastest book series MERMAID TALES. The first two books are available now! In this start to a new series starring Shelly the mermaid, a classroom conflict is no fun—even when school is 20,000 leagues under the sea. It’s MerGirl Shelly Siren’s first day at a new school, and she is nervous from the tip of her head to the end of her sparkling mermaid tail. How will she ever fit in at the prestigious Trident Academy? Everyone there is so smart and so pretty and so rich. At least she and her best friend, Echo, are in the same class, but so is Pearl, a spoiled know-it-all who only wants to make trouble for Shelly; Rocky, a MerBoy who loves to tease everyone; and Kiki, a shy MerGirl who’s new to Trident City. At first Shelly and Echo have lots of fun: eating lunch together, trying to make grumpy Mr. Fangtooth smile, and joining after-school clubs. But when Shelly and Echo have an argument about their very first school assignment, Pearl gets involved and makes matters worse. Will Shelly and Echo fix their friendship?

Regardless of what it is Jim Hanft has set out to paint his life in songs using his voice, guitar and a broken harmonica.
The collaborative musical partnership between Hanft and singer, Samantha Yonack is rarely seen in the often every-man-for-himself singer/songwriter world. Having been nutured by over five years of touring and co-writing Jim & Sam have developed an infectious on stage chemistry with off-the-cuff antics so unguarded that the audience is immediately invited into their world. On record, co-written songs like, "By The Stream" and "Lazy Love," have a romantic sensitivity about them adding a new dynamic to Hanft's music that calls back to the partnership of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris or Jonny & June.

Month of Moderns II: Hesperus is Phosphorus
Presented by The Crossing at Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill
A world premiere collaboration with Network for New Music. The Crossing is thrilled to have 2002 Pulitzer-prize winner, Lewis Spratlan, composing a concert-length work for them. Hesperus is Phosphorus will loosely take the form of a kind of secular vespers—a passage, or crossing, through the philosophical and spiritual canyons of our time; drawing on the words of American poets, playwrights, and physicists, Spratlan’s music explores growth and loss in our ever-expanding world of discovery.
Hesperus, or Vesper—the evening star—was thought by the ancient Greeks to be distinct from Phosphorus, the morning star. Eventually accepting the Babylonian belief that these were in fact one and the same, the Greeks lost two stars but gained another: a moving star (our planet Venus), a "greater god," and a change in faith. Thus, through discovery, gain is accompanied by loss—a condition familiar to the modern world as we look back through these same stars, seeing truths we had previously thought beyond our knowledge.

Sean Hoots (of Hoots and Hellmouth) and Hezekiah Jones
Presented by Kennett Flash at Kennett Flash
Sean Hoots of the venerable Hoots and Hellmouth will be giving a rare and intimate performance for one night only. Hoots's songwriting is fresh, alive, and experimental, drawing its inspiration from the great songwriters of yesterday while his soulful, satin voice draws the listener in and captivates his every thought.
Hezekiah Jones is the musical nom de plume for Raphael Cutrufello and a band of like-minded musicians crafting alternative folk music. Crafting music that sometimes sounds like a post-apocalyptic White Album, as covered by Sufjan Stevens, this biting, sometimes campy vibe only serves to intensify the blow of his sucker-punch ballads. Songs are filled with outlandish characters, imagined landscapes, ringing harmonies, and baroque instrumental flourishes, but never disconnect from the tangible feelings at their center.

The Obstacle Course through History - A National Trails Day Walk
Presented by Friends of Delaware Canal Locktender's House at Holiday Inn Express
The Canal towpath from Morrisville to Bristol has many trail designations. It is a National Recreation Trail, a portion of the D (Delaware) & L (Lehigh) Trail that runs from Wilkes Barre to Bristol, and a part of the East Coast Greenway that will provide a trail system between Maine and Florida. There are high aspirations for this 10-mile stretch of Canal towpath, but there are significant obstacles to overcome before it becomes an easy-to-use trail.
Join us for a 2-mile walk as we trek both north and south on the towpath exploring one of Bucks County's most historic towns. Morrisville, located at the Falls of the Delaware, was one of the first places in Bucks County to be settled and later came within two votes of becoming our nation's Capitol. On your stroll through history, we will encounter the streets, highways and railroad line that cross over the Canal. They make trail use a challenge (an understatement). We'll learn about how these obstacles came to be, how they have been altered, and what is in store in the near future. This section of the Canal is always surprising. We're likely to encounter anything from a great blue heron to an Acela train. The walk is free and will be held weather permitting.

Sculpture and Drawing Installation Exhibit: Disturbia
Presented by Art on the Avenue Gallery at Art on the Avenue Gallery
Art on the Avenue Gallery is pleased to present disTURBIA, a show of mixed media sculpture installation and drawings, featuring the work of Romanian artist Raluca Ungureanu, from her recent years in New York and Philadelphia.
Raluca’s work tells stories through visual means and each of her shows can be read as one such story. Deeply personal, invested with powerful feelings and emotions, her work aims at engaging the viewer in a dialogue about rootlessness and alienation in the big cities of today’s rapidly changing world. Born and raised in the mythic land of Bucovina, surrounded by a deep ancestral forest at the foot of the divine monastery of Voronet, one of the oldest in Europe, Raluca has carried the imprint of her origins deeply carved into her soul, persisting throughout her many moves and dislocations.
Working as an artist and landscape architect in large urban environments of Europe and later the United States, she came to experience, along with the benefits of such environments, a painful dysfunction and isolation. At times the peaceful memories of her lost forest-island past overwhelmed her and made pain and alienation more acute. At other times they functioned as sustenance and reference point.
Raluca’s show can be read as a manifesto for bringing back the human into the cold and impersonal conurbations, with their grey and fragile graffiti walls. Do not search for titles of individual pieces. They are the words of a story told in a visual language suffused with her spirit, her feelings and her thoughts.

MM2 Modern Dance Preview of Conversations
Presented by MM2 Modern Dance at CHI Movement Arts Center
Conversations: a dialogue through movement
Nine dancers and choreographers explore the very essence of how we interact, relate and communicate with each other.
Interactive, at times spontaneous, much of it personal and intimate: conversation comes between two or more people that affects something, someone, at some level. Dance allows us to express who we are within the context of the movement, and thus is the simplest form of communication. It is primal. It is a conversation in itself between body, breath and beat that can also be shared with others. Such conversations are indispensable; they are at our very core. These conversations take on a life of their own, a dynamic momentum, with the ebb and flow of our daily lives. With this new work by MM2, each of the company members, dancers and choreographers, has created their own dialog through movement, their own conversation.
This sneak preview of Conversations is being offered before the company goes on tour in Canada later this month under a grant from the WHW Foundation. The final production of Conversations will premiere at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe in September.

MM2 Modern Dance - Improvisation with the Artists and Their Work
Presented by MM2 Modern Dance at Grounds for Sculpture
MM2 Modern Dance will be performing at Grounds For Sculpture as part of their Anniversary Arts Party. The annual celebration of the founding of Grounds For Sculpture, offers a host of activities and events for all ages. As part of the Meet the Artists Tours, MM2 Modern Dance will create improvisational dance at select sculptures based on the individual artist’s interpretations, along with visitor’s input and interaction.
Dance with Sculpture is a program that directly resulted from collaboration between Grounds For Sculpture and MM2 Modern Dance Company over the past nine years, after an experimental and most successful performance, that occurred to a small audience of fifty. Since 2003, the collaboration between GFS and MM2 has offered over 50 cross-disciplinary dance and sculpture programs, serving thousands of persons of all ages.
Dance with Sculpture has provided new and innovative interpretations and appreciation of the sculptures on the site and which led to a deeper appreciation of both art forms. Feedback provided by audience members and participants has indicated that the interaction of the dancers with the sculptures, in the natural environment, creates an aesthetic experience that is life-enriching for all.
MM2 dancers are able to work with artists and art in the park, create new choreography and gain exposure and feedback for their works. Grounds For Sculpture attendees have also had an opportunity to observe the creation of site-specific pieces and works in progress, as MM2 rehearsed and worked at Grounds For Sculpture with specific artists/sculptors.

Anna Spackman with Donnie Spackman, Jenny Founds and Mike Haldeman, and Hillary Wallace
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
Anna Spackman grew up in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, with a piano and a head full of musical whimsy. A couple of years after a guitar entered her life, these ideas began spilling out of her mouth and ears like stars, and she has been working ever since to try to turn them into songs. People have said they are reminiscent of Ani Difranco, Joni Mitchell and Feist; Anna simply hopes that they say something helpful occasionally, and linger in your ear for a little while. Anna now lives, sings and plays in Portland, Oregon. She is often playing at Lewis and Clark College, and has a monthly show with other talented singer/songwriters at the Jade Lounge every 3rd Tuesday. Anna will be performing with her brother Donnie. Her CDs are available at http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/AnnaSpackman.
As a 19-year-old musician and singer/songwriter, Jenny Founds has already established herself as a force to be reckoned with. Touring with the Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars for five years, playing over fifteen national and international tours with guest stars such as Jon Anderson from Yes, Denny Walley and Napoleon Murphy Brock from Zappa and the Mothers, and Slash from Guns and Roses, she has gained her musical knowledge through experience. Her musical inspirations range from Joni Mitchell to Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Sufjan Stevens, and Yes. With Mike Haldeman as her core collaborator, guitarist, and engineer, they released their debut album Muse on January 13, 2012.
Hillary Wallace is no stranger to Steel City audiences. She has performed at open mics since her early teens and she was the first winner of Steel City's Battle of the Open Mics competition at age 17, despite having competed against older and more experienced performers. Hillary will knock you out with her powerful voice, and you're sure to be impressed by her mature songwriting skills. She released her debut CD in 2010.

Group Rebirthing Class with Irene Bojczuk at Wake Up Yoga
Presented by Wake Up Yoga at Wake Up Yoga Fairmount
Rebirthing breathwork is a powerful healing modality applying three main components: circular breathing, focused attention, and deep relaxation.
The purpose of rebirthing breathwork is to clear the mind, body and emotions of obstacles, trauma and negative programming from past and present blocks stored in the mind/body and to remember your true self.
Unresolved stress, issues and past emotional hurts have a way of cropping up in new situations over and over, leaving many people feeling disconnected and drained or wondering “Why does this keep happening to me?”
These are known as repeating patterns. Breathwork is a way to disable these patterns by dissolving the underlying blocks on a cellular level to help people experience a much greater sense of aliveness, vitality, openness and peace with which to move through life. Through rebirthing, emotional suppressed material is dissolved and a deep experiential connection with the spiritual/creative source within is accessed.
People who attend the class can expect a supportive, environment in which they can share and connect with each other to whatever extent they feel comfortable.
This Group Rebirthing class is not appropriate for women who are pregnant. Please click on the below link for more information about this powerful breath technique.

Dalet Art Gallery LiQin Tan Reception
Presented by The Absinthe Drinkers at Dalet Gallery
The Absinthe Drinkers play one of their rare gallery shows! Instead of cheap beer and surly bartenders, they'll have box wine and art!
The Absinthe Drinkers are a perfect fit with LiQin Tan’s solo exhibition featuring his fantastical and surreal animation installations, projections, and digital print series.
Tan uses spirit levels as a signal to describe a natural phenomenon in humans, where human brain development is an equalized procedure. The competing concepts of the brain—whether the battle of the brain's size versus its intellectual capacity, or of its technological versus its spiritual side—are always kept in equilibrium. In the latter art series, Tan presents himself as a digital naturalist, choosing the burl/lava as the natural art form to explore his “Digital-Primitive” theme in a multifaceted and reciprocal process: Making digital 3D images through primitive technology and materials, while also making primitive rawhide/wood/rock art through digital technology.
This exhibition of work consists of spirit-level installations alongside dozens of digital prints on metal, wood, and rawhides. There are also numerous animations projected onto suspended rawhides and LCD monitors displaying separate animations.
The Absinthe Drinkers will be transmitting their own brain-signals with their steam-pop influenced compositions about sex, monsters, and murder. The Drinkers create their songs using a laboratory-grade components including lyrics culled from ancient and modern literature, catchy sonic hooks, and copious amounts of absinthe-spiked libations. The Absinthe Drinkers do not provide absinthe at their shows, but certainly encourage the audience to BYO.

Alfred James Band with Beggar's Ride
Presented by Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse at Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse
An evening with the Alfred James Band. To listen to samples, visit www.alfredjamesband.com
Alfred is the only cellist in the world playing a 5-string carbon fiber cello—standing up! He started playing the cello as a young boy after his father (a surgeon and amateur cellist) suffered a stroke that ended both his surgical and musical careers. Alfred picked up his dad's cello where he left off and the rest as they say is history.
His influences range from Pablo Casals, Ralph Kirshbaum, Yo Yo Ma, Sting, Dave Matthews, etc. etc. etc. Welcome to the high energy sounds of the Alfred James Band and remember, the cello isn't just for classical music anymore.
We have been featured on NPR's All Songs Considered, opened at the Kimmel Center for Bruce Hornsby, and have performed on NBC's morning show 4 times. Alfred recently played cello for the AMC trailer for Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai.
Opening will be special guest Beggar's Ride.

Book Signing and Q&A with author Marisa McClellan for Preserving in Small Batches Year Round
Presented by Greensgrow Farms
This spring, locavores looking for a fresh way to preserve the bounty of the harvest throughout the year will enjoy Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round from blogger Marisa McClellan of www.foodinjars.com. Featuring 100+ recipes for everything from jams and pickles to chutneys and flavored salts, Food in Jars is a comprehensive look at the ins and outs of canning, from simple tips and tricks ideal for first-time canners to more advanced recipes that allow home cooks to prepare and store the best of the garden for the entire year.
"Unlike other books on canning and preserving, Food in Jars offers small-batch recipes ideal for tiny kitchens," says McClellan, who was bitten by the canning bug at a young age while working alongside her mother in their family kitchen in Portland, OR. "These are recipes that I prepare in my own apartment in Philadelphia, without the space and amenities of a huge kitchen, and they're a terrific way to bring the bounty of a local farmers' market into your home and serve it throughout the year."
Food in Jars features gorgeous full-color photographs from well-known Philadelphia food photographer Steve Legato, creating a vivid narrative that, along with McClellan's friendly, can-do tone, guides readers through the world of canning at home.
The book opens with a simple introduction to the canning process and then applies those basic lessons to a wealth of recipes, from Vanilla-Rhubarb Jam with Earl Grey to Oven-Roasted Peach Butter, from Meyer Lemon Curd to Gingery Pickled Beets. Food in Jars highlights McClellan's family-favorite canning recipes, and well as granolas, nut butters and even flavor-infused sea salts. Every recipe includes a thoughtful introduction from the author, with notes on how best to prepare the ingredients and helpful encouragement for those trying it out for the first time. Chapters are arranged according to content, ranging from jams to jellies to pickles to syrups. Food safety tips on home canning make even the most novice canner feel at ease tackling any recipe in the book.

Chris Bruni with Aaron Brown Ashley Phillips
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
Following the critical acclaim of his 2007 debut release Watch Me Burn, singer/songwriter Chris Bruni is out on his own this time around with his sophomore effort, I’ve Been Here, a fully fan-funded album. With the confidence provided by the success of his first effort, Chris decided to take more control of his career as an emerging artist and release this new collection of songs using a completely DIY approach. After two years of heavy touring and an obvious connection with a newfound fan base, Chris found himself with the need for new music. With his newfound approach as an independent artist and the support of a loyal and growing fan base, Chris Bruni has found a way to succeed where many artists may have decided to pack it in.

Community Recycling Collaborates with Whole Foods Market Jenkintown to Recycle Textiles
Presented by Whole Foods Market - Jenkintown at Whole Foods Market - Jenkintown
Community Recycling and Whole Foods Market Jenkintown have a plan in place to help residents clean out their closets, help the environment by recycling textiles and putting the local landfills on a diet! All proceeds from textile recycling will go toward the environmental initiatives and programming of Whole Foods Market Jenkintown.
The EPA recently released the latest statistics on textile waste in the US. In 2010 Americans discarded an estimated 13.1 million tons, which makes up a sizeable 5.3 percent of total municipal solid waste. Astoundingly, only 15 percent of that (or 2 million tons) was recovered for recycling, export or reprocessing. This means that 85 percent of textiles in 2010 ended up in the trash when a lot of these textiles were perfectly re-wearable, reusable, or definitely recyclable. This is the 85% we all need to set in our sights and eliminate!JOIN US!
Community Recycling, headquartered in Fairless Hills, PA, collects unwanted textiles and related materials that are responsibly distributed for reuse, resale and recycling in the US and abroad. They are effectively diverting millions of pounds of clothing, shoes and other secondhand goods from landfills, generating new revenue streams for municipalities, townships, boroughs, commercial retail locations, charities, thrifts; and fueling local economies and creating jobs both here and in emerging countries.Visit them at www.communityrecycling.biz for more information and let their passion for recycling help create an environmental solution for your organization, community or business.

Maniac Magee Day
Presented by Norristown Municipality at Elmwood Park Band Shell
Author Jerry Spinelli’s famous 11-year-old wonder boy Maniac Magee, from his Newbery Award-winning children’s parable about racism and ignorance, comes to life Saturday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout Elmwood Park in Norristown.
As part of the Norristown Bicentennial, this celebration of native son Spinelli will feature 20 local middle-school-age actors, trained at Iron Age Theater and Centre Theater through a 21st Century grant after school program. The children will simultaneously play out the story’s key scenes at the baseball field where they’ll hit “frogballs for four baggers” and at a deer shed at the Elmwood Park Zoo, the runaway orphan’s makeshift home, and several other spots.
“Little did I know as I rode my Roadmaster bike around town that I was collecting memories that would someday emerge in stories I would write,” said Spinelli.
Maniac Magee is set in Two Mills based on Norristown where the author lived in his early youth. During the event, Spinelli will sign books and do a question and answer session at the Elmwood Park Bandshell at 2 p.m.
A knot-tying demonstration and contest will take place at the Pavilion from10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and music will be provided by Sam Lit of Hi Lit Radio. Refreshments will also be available.
Spinelli has written more than 30 novels for children and currently resides in Wayne. A television movie of Maniac Magee was produced for Nickelodeon in 2003.
Maniac Magee Day is part of the Municipality of Norristown’s Bicentennial to be celebrated through September 2012. Other bicentennial events include a June 23 Gospel and Blues Festival; a July 4 Parade and Fireworks; and a September 15 Festival del Grito de la Independencia de Mexico (Mexican Independence Day Festival).
Key presenting sponsor of the Norristown Bicentennial is Conicelli Autoplex. 6ABC and The Times Herald, Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau; Reflections; Telemundo; El Zol Philly, 1340 AM; Keystone Mercy Health Plan; Albert Einstein Healthcare Network; Citizens Bank, Bimbo Bakeries; PECO; Law offices of Cullen and Conwell, LLC; and ARS Premier Foods are additional sponsors.

An American in Paris
Presented by The Colonial Theatre
To start off our month of films which take place in “the city of lights” during the Springtime, when Paris is at it’s loveliest and romance is in bloom, we are bringing you this classic musical from MGM. Featuring the dancing talents of Gene Kelly and a 19-year-old Leslie Caron and the music of George and Ira Gershwin, and choreographed by Kelly himself, this is a glorious Technicolor tribute to that beautiful city.
The plot may be a simple one, with ex-GI artist Kelly torn between lovely gamine Caron and wealthy sophisticate Nina Foch, while receiving support/advice from his neurotic friend (famed neurotic pianist/humorist and keyboard interpreter of Gershwin, Oscar Levant), but the dancing, singing and production values are superb. This was THE motion picture of 1951, winning six competitive Oscars (including Best Picture) and a special award to Kelly, for “advancing the art of choreography on screen.” (The latter was awarded primarily for the film’s stunningly mounted 17-minute ballet on the theme of French Impressionists.) If you love music and dance, and if you want to be thrilled by a beautiful evocation of Paris in the Spring, then don’t miss this special movie treat. (Bill Roth)

Dogtown and Z-Boys
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
“A dazzlingly crafted documentary about the ’70s surf punks of lower Los Angeles who singlehandedly turned skateboarding into an extreme sport.
We see endless Super-8 footage of long-blond-haired kids — think Hanson in the urban wasteland — as they ride low on their boards and then advance to empty swimming pools, zipping along the surfaces of the concrete basins and right up into the air. Sure, it’s only skateboarding. But the thrill of Dogtown is that the kids who had the audacity to kick a concrete sport into the third dimension, carving up space with their boards, were as obsessive as the creators of punk rock or Cubism. The movie invites you to share their free ride.” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly)

Transit of Venus & Tune-Up Workshops
Presented by American Philosophical Society Museum at American Philosophical Society Museum
On June 5, 2012, there will be a rare astronomical event--a Transit of Venus. Beginning at 6pm in Philadelphia, the planet Venus will be visible moving across the disk of the sun. A transit never happened in the 20th century and won't happen again until 2117. It will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The American Philosophical Society Museum (104 S. Fifth Street) will be offering family-friendly, hands-on workshops on June 2-3, to help everybody get ready for the transit. Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer at The Franklin Institute will explain the science. Kids can make their own solar filter (because you can't look directly at the sun), make a sundial, learn about using the heavens for navigation and see the telescope that David Rittenhouse built to observe the 1769 Transit of Venus.

Montgomery County Artist Subject of Berman Museum Exhibition at Ursinus College
Presented by Ursinus College - Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College - Berman Museum of Art
Harry Bertoia, Four Decades of Drawings, will be on view at the Lenfest Gallery in the Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College through June 3rd. The public is welcome at a reception and Gallery Talk on May 9th at 6 pm in the Museum.
Harry Bertoia, born in Italy in 1915, was a resident of Barto, PA, near Pottstown, where he created his well-known “tonal” sounding sculptures and designed furniture for Knoll, International.
His early studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Art were in printmaking and metalworking, which informed his work throughout his career. Drawing, too, was an important part of the artist’s creative process, and many of his pieces clearly show his planning and experimentation with ideas for sculptures. In 1950, at the invitation of the Knoll furniture design company, he moved to eastern Pennsylvania and designed, among other pieces, the Bertoia Diamond chair series, which became part of the modern furniture movement.
This exhibition, curated and traveled by Seraphin Gallery, Philadelphia, consists of 30 framed drawings from 1940 to 1978, and several Bertoia sculptures drawn from the permanent collection of the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College. He died in 1978.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction!

Both Maggie Madigan and Mike's great grandfather, John Madigan, were born in the small town of Askeaton, Ireland. Luckily for Mike, his great granddad did not cross the Atlantic on that same fateful voyage, or Mike might not be here to present this fascinating story.

Three Sixty Trio
Presented by MilkBoy Coffee - Ardmore at MilkBoy Coffee - Ardmore
Steve Galanter has enjoyed musical experiences in country, classic rock, R&B bands and an acoustic-based quartet and trios. Steve evokes multi-instrumental arrangements with sound loops created in real time, but brings feeling even to solitary rhythms. Steve adds occasional vocals and harmonies to fill out the trio's sound.
Steve Gray, a.k.a. the “Bass Man," deftly moves around the beat to create foundational bass lines. Steve plays with nuance, counterpoint and soul, using both electric and double bass instruments to their full advantage. Steve has played in most musical configurations and has shared stages with the likes of Johnny Winter, Jimmy Vaughn and even Tina Fey.
Sala Wyman is the heart (literally and figuratively) of the trio, whose soulful and stylistic vocals heat up the trio’s broad range of musical genres. Sala brings a memorable presence to jazz standards and ballads and exceptional energy to contemporary favorites. With a voice described as “stunning” by the Seattle Times, Sala honed her craft during years of singing with jazz ensembles, choirs and R&B bands, and as an acappella artist on both coasts.

Marginal Utility Daniel Lefcourt: Active Surplus
Presented by Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA)
For their contribution to First Among Equals, Marginal Utility has organized a series of installations in the exhibition.
Using the tools and materials of scenic fabrication and sign making, Daniel Lefcourt's works continually point outwards, towards conventions of exhibition and display. Like the industrial composite wood with which the artworks are made, Lefcourt's work is at once real and solid, and simultaneously a mere semblance or substitute.

Naia Kete
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
Naia's music is a personal/political soul-trip, as grounded and articulate as it is emotive, ever powered by the guitar and voice of this blossoming young visionary. "Crazy Glue," a jazzy soulful pop track, shows off her unique vocal tone and her feel for flowing rhythms. Her songs would fit right alongside a radio playlist of Adele's "Chasing Pavements," Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" and John Legend's "Ordinary People." She inspires with her words and brings the listener on an emotional journey. Listening to Naia or seeing her live you experience how her voice flows with a lyrical maturity and precision that conjures images of the great Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones, John Legend, Adele, or even soul diva Erykah Badu leaving the observer wide-eyed and ready for action.

Battleship Olympia Tattoo Convention
Presented by Tattooed Kingpin at Independence Seaport Museum
Come to the Philadelphia's Independence Seaport Museum for the second Phi Tattoo Convention of the year. Tattooers from around the world will be tattooing aboard the Olympia, the globe's oldest still-floating metal warship.
Predominantly spotlighting traditional American tattooers, this event will also feature an array of artists applying vintage acetate stencils dating from as far back as the 1940's – truly period-correct, old school tattoos applied in the same assembly-line manner as they would have been in the golden age of American Tattooing. This lost art is rarely practiced anymore; therefore this event should prove to be a momentous occasion for any true tattoo enthusiast.
So come celebrate the rich history of American Tattooing by adding a new tattoo to your collection from one of the many talented artists in attendance.
While there, definitely head to the Seaport Museum for Past To Present, a curated art exhibit showcasing historical and contemporary examples of the time-honored art form of tattoo “flash” Also found in the Seaport Museum, don't forget to check out the vendors for tattoo related apparel, books and more.

Neville Dickie, Top British Stride, Boogie and Ragtime Pianist
Presented by Tri-State Jazz Society at Community Arts Center
A native of England's County Durham, Dickie is among the most accomplished stride and boogie-woogie pianist on either side of the Atlantic. A regular performer on BBC Radio in the 1970s and 1980s, Dickie made hundreds of appearances as a soloist and with his trio. He is one of the few British jazz players to score with a hit single — "The Robins Return" — in 1969.
As John Featherstone writes in Storeyville, "Neville Dickie's devastatingly accurate left hand shows why, at any stride convention, he'll have a place reserved at the top. Neville Dickie returns to the Community Arts Center, where last July he delighted a standing-room-only audience. This year's program will feature the same exciting brand of ragtime and early piano jazz. Come early — it’s likely to be another sellout."

Architecture in Film - Selected Films of Ray & Charles Eames
Presented by Philadelphia Center for Architecture at Philadelphia Center for Architecture
"Charles & Ray Eames were artists adept at an astonishing number of disciplines. They produced museum exhibitions, architecture, logotypes, toys, slide shows, furniture, books, photography, paintings and over 100 films. However, their films are the least discussed of their output. One of the main reasons is the sheer difficulty in acquiring access to them. Only about a quarter of their films have been released on home video. They are one of the few American artists with an entire era named after them, but their films are rarely placed on a level with their furniture or architecture. And yet their films contain some of the most generous, sincere and original ideas of the century." -snoreandguzzle.com
This monthly series, which screens films that explore ideas and themes on architecture and architects, is hosted by John DeFazio, AIA (Architect & Associate Professor @ Drexel University) and Nick Groch, Assoc. AIA. Films begin with a discussion of the relevant themes and elements to notice during the screening and are followed by an informal discussion. Films are generally shown on the first Monday of each month. Gather before every film at 6:30 pm for a wine and cheese reception.

A Conversation with Sandor Katz, Author of The Art of Fermentation
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
A self-avowed “fermentation fetishist,” author and activist Sandor Katz (aka Sandor Kraut) travels the world spreading the gospel of foods that are transformed and ennobled by bacteria, heralding the benefits of the ancient preservation technique that he says makes foods much more digestible and nutritious. “Eating bacteria is one of life’s great pleasures,” he says. “Beer, wine, cheese, bread, cured meats, coffee, chocolate: Our best-loved foods are almost all fermented.”
Katz is a long-term HIV/AIDS survivor who considers fermented foods to be an important element of his healing. His two books on the topic—Wild Fermentation and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved—have become manifestos and how-to manuals for a generation of grassroots food activists. In The Art of Fermentation, he offers practical information about nurturing and preparing live-culture foods.

Dengue Fever + Omar Souleyman
Presented by Union Transfer at Union Transfer
L.A.'s Dengue Fever has perhaps the strangest cultural cross-pollination of any band in recent memory. They are left-field enough for a group of white musicians to cover psychedelic rock oldies from Cambodia, but finding a bona fide Cambodian pop star to front the band is the kind of providence that could only touch a select few places on Earth. Dengue Fever's roots can be traced to organist Ethan Holtzman's 1997 trip to Cambodia where he was introduced to the sound of '60s-era Cambodian rock. The standard sound bore a strong resemblance to Nuggets-style garage rock and psychedelia, heavy on the organ and fuzztone guitar, and with the danceable beat of classic rock & roll. It also bore the unmistakable stamp of Bollywood film musicals, and often employed the heavily reverbed guitar lines of surf and spy soundtrack music.

Philly Brewing: A Conversation with George Hummel and Rich Wagner
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
The craft brewing revolution started at home. In Philadelphia, it started at Home Sweet Homebrew, a small homebrew shop that has been fostering Philadelphia’s beer renaissance since 1986. Co-owner George Hummel has seen many homebrewers become pro brewers in the ensuing years. Before they were creating some of the highest quality beer you can buy off the shelf, people like Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Brewing; Tom Kehoe of Yards Brewing; and Chris LaPierre of Iron Hill could be found in George’s shop, buying grain and hops and discussing recipes. In The Complete Homebrew Beer Book, George bottles all of the knowhow you need to get started making your own beer.
Before Prohibition, Philadelphia had one of the most vibrant brewing scenes in the United States. At the peak of brewing in Philadelphia, there were more than 700 active breweries in the city. Rich Wagner is the foremost authority on the history of brewing in Philadelphia, giving tours, writing articles and self-publishing books on Philadelphia brewing history for decades. Philadelphia Beer: A Heady History of Brewing in the Cradle of Liberty marks his first publication with a major press and the most up-to-date history of brewing in Philadelphia currently available.
This event is part of Philly Beer Week and sponsored by Home Sweet Homebrew.

Society Hill and Old City
Presented by Athenaeum of Philadelphia at Athenaeum of Philadelphia
Robert Morris Skaler, Society Hill and Old City. In the 18th century, Society Hill was home to wealthy merchants and many members of the federal government. In Old City, artisans and workmen lived and worked in small row houses like those on Elfreth’s Alley. As Philadelphia developed, it abandoned its Colonial center. Almost forgotten by 1900, Society Hill’s once gracious houses had become run-down tenements, shops, and warehouses. Yet, at the same time, Society Hill remained Philadelphia’s banking and insurance center. Beginning in the 1960s, under the direction of city planner Edmund Bacon and the National Park Service, this neighborhood was restored. Society Hill and Old City documents how these two neighborhoods looked in the early 1900s. Robert Morris Skaler is an architect, architectural historian, and graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. He is the author of West Philadelphia: University City to 52nd Street and Philadelphia’s Broad Street: South and North. Refreshments and book signing to follow.

Songwriters in the Round with Lizanne Knott, Michael Logen and Jesse Terry
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
With his down-to-earth appeal and deceptively sharp writing, Jesse Terry plants himself firmly among the most promising singer-songwriters of his generation. While the sounds of popular music become increasingly inflated, he wades into the fray with graceful, understated arrangements that embrace his ambitious songs.
Blending elements of folk and pop, Michael Logen's music intertwines the poetry and lyrical depth of the folk tradition with infectious melodies and subtle grooves of a modern pop singer/songwriter.
A long-standing member of the singer-songwriter scene in Philadelphia, Lizanne Knott has been captivating audiences throughout the Northeast and garnering attention from radio listeners across the globe. Well known locally for her floating vocals and lyrical juxtapositions, her apparent depth and transcending warmth make for an inviting mix of music which moves easily through dark poetic ballads to folk driven rock.

Women's Wellness Yoga Class with Biz Magarity
Presented by Wake Up Yoga at Wake Up Yoga South
This once-a-month class is designed for women who suffer from pelvic and lower abdominal issues, such as infertility and chronic pain. Women who are not experiencing these conditions will benefit from this class as well by giving attention to this region of the body, breathing space into the lower abdominal area, and reconnecting to center.
Each class will be thoughtfully designed to include a sequence of active poses, and a sequence of restorative asana. These postures are intended to relieve tension in and increase blood flow to the pelvic/lower abdominal region. Through breath exercise and the grounding nature of the postures, we will work to surrender and relieve mental and emotional stress.

Conversation with the Curator: Who Owns Ulysses? Joyce and Copyright
Presented by Rosenbach Museum and Library at Rosenbach Museum and Library
Get the inside scoop on Who Owns Ulysses? James Joyce and Copyright. This informal presentation is led by exhibition curator Dr. Melanie Micir. She’ll introduce us to key aspects of the exhibition and answer questions as you explore the exhibition further.
About the exhibition: Defending the “Moral Right of Writers” to own and protect their works, James Joyce once said: “A work belongs to its author by virtue of a natural right, and thus the courts ought to protect an author against the mutilation and publication of his work just as he is protected against the ill use someone might make of his name.”
This exhibition examines several such “mutilations” of Joyce’s own work while tracing the impact of obscenity laws and copyright laws on the international publication history of his novel Ulysses. With many Joyce copyrights having expired on December 31st, 2011, there is no better time to look back on the legal history of Ulysses.

Art After 5 - Bobby Zankel
Presented by Philadelphia Museum of Art at Philadelphia Museum of Art
Saxophonist Bobby Zankel gets an orchestral sound out of his ensembles, partly by mixing instruments and partly by moving them through composition into improvisation. The effect is sprawling but precise. His music speaks equally to the legacy of the past (Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus) and to the present.

Erick Baker and Jill Andrews
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
If you listen closely, you can hear a heartbeat in the songs of Erick Baker. A warm, familiar pulse of love and loss echoing from somewhere just under the surface. Written with unguarded lyrical honesty, Erick's songs are passionate confessions that reflect many of our own deeply rooted emotions and secrets.
Since releasing his debut EP It's Getting Too Late To Say It's Early in 2008, Erick's powerful voice and deeply personal songwriting style have led listeners through music rich with themes central to the emotional cornerstones of their lives. And recently, the message of Erick's music has quickly started to spread.
This medley of heartfelt insight, accentuated by strong melodic hooks and emotive vocals, drives Erick's second full-length album, Goodbye June. Produced by Ken Coomer, (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo), Goodbye June skillfully blends a divergent set of influences – rock, pop, soul, blues, country, and folk – into one seamless, signature sound that defines Erick's distinctive voice.
Uniting fans across lines of age, lifestyle and musical taste, Erick's music, once heard, simply can't be ignored. Having last performed on our Copeland Theater stage while supporting Edwin McCain, we’re thrilled to welcome Erick back for a headlining show in Upstairs Live.
Jill Andrews crafts beguiling, startlingly intimate songs that merge her voice with her effortless, classic pop sensibility and keen eye for human drama—all the unspoken truths between lovers, devastating confessions whispered to friends, silent prayers offered up during the longest, loneliest nights. A smart, subtle tunesmith and a gently wise songwriter, Andrews' songs shuffle in and settle down with little fanfare, then quietly go about the business of ripping your heart straight out of your chest. One-half of The Everybodyfields and, since 2009, as an increasingly formidable singer/songwriter making her way on her own wherever she plays, Andrews offers up a vision of herself as a singular, quickly-maturing artist with the power to cross lines of genre and geography, taste and time. She is a force—and a voice—to be reckoned with.

An Evening with Brother Sun
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
"I just heard one of the best new songs of my life. The song is called "Trouble," and the group is called Brother Sun. Three magnificent, male voices—together. Gives me the chills—in the nicest way ever!"
– Gene Shay, WXPN
Pat Wictor, Greg Greenway, and Joe Jencks have formed a dynamic new male trio. Their harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Calling upon contemporary songwriting, and informed by the deep roots of gospel, blues, and folk, the trio weaves a tapestry of harmony that is brilliantly fresh and yet familiar.
Nationally touring folk artists from three major points on the map (Boston, New York and Chicago) Pat, Greg, and Joe celebrate the amazing power of singing together. Their combined musical skills should make for an unforgettable evening—three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar and piano.

From Farmland to Factories: The Industrial History of Stenton’s Surrounding Neighborhoods
Presented by Stenton at Stenton
Many who visit Stenton marvel at the curious view of an 18th century mansion sitting in a neighborhood of old factory buildings. This curious view begs the question, “How did this neighborhood develop into such an industrial area, and when did this industrial area decline?” Come to Stenton and discover the industrial history of the neighborhoods which surround James Logan’s Stenton, including Nicetown and Lower Germantown. This program will begin with a presentation by Dr. Walter Licht on the rise and fall of Philadelphia manufacture with specific attention to the industrial corridor of Nicetown and lower Germantown. Kim Broadbent will then discuss the innovative industrial cluster of businesses that chose to locate near the Wayne Junction train station and how the railroad played a significant role in their decision to locate at Wayne Junction. The program will conclude with a tour of Wayne Mills Factory, a textile mill that has been continually operated since 1910.

Tric Town Present JC Brooks & Uptown Sound with Universal Funk Order
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
You know you're not just another indie band when the mayor-elect of Chicago personally invites you to play his inauguration concert. Rahm Emanuel is one of many esteemed fans that JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound have picked up since their humble beginnings, when they were just dreaming about getting the cool kids to shake it at the Empty Bottle. Wilco's Jeff Tweedy befriended the post-punk soul group after they scored a viral hit with their amped-up re-imagining of his song "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," performing it with them at Chicago's Park West and inviting them to appear at Wilco's Solid Sound Festival.
Erupting with raw emotion, JC Brooks unleashes his soulful shouts and heart wrenching falsetto over the relentless rhythm of guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks, and bassist Ben Taylor. The Uptown Sound has shared stages with a staggering array of artists, from legends like Robert Plant, Buddy Guy, and Chicago, to indie faves Peter Bjorn & John and the Dismemberment Plan, and soul stirrers Fitz & the Tantrums, Lee Fields, and Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens.

Cross-Rhythms - An Evening of Tap Dance
Presented by Lady Hoofers Society at Performance Garage
Cross-Rhythms - An Evening of Tap Dance will be presented one night at the Performance Garage. Produced by tap dancer and choreographer Pamela Hetherington, the concert will feature professional tap dancers Michele Dunleavy, Germaine Ingram, and Darrell Williams, along with Philadelphia-based modern dancer Leah Stein and London-based Bharatanatyam dancer, Suparna Banerjee. Live musical accompaniment will be provided by the Jon Katz Quartet and other special musical guests.
A cross-rhythm is a simultaneous use of two contrasting rhythmic patterns which cannot be separated without compromising the song. The evening performance is organized around intricate pairings - both of dancers and of art forms. Interdisciplinary duets will demonstrate the connections between tap, modern dance, and Bharatanatyam dance. The evening will also celebrate the interplay between tap dance and jazz music with a restaging of Manhattan Tap's seminal 1986 piece, "Scrapple from the Apple," choreographed by Manhattan Tap founder, Heather Cornell.
The performance will also feature up-and-coming saxophonist Jon Katz, a graduate of Temple University and a fixture on the Philly jazz scene. Appealing to jazz lovers across the Delaware Valley, Katz's quartet will also perform original pieces and jazz standards throughout the evening performance.

Cabinet Bluegrass
Presented by Mauch Chunk Opera House at Mauch Chunk Opera House
When it comes to the music of Cabinet, the essential bywords are soul, simplicity, and serious musicianship. In concert, the combination of these qualities invariably yields an experience that is so celebratory and moving that the very word Cabinet takes on a new, vivid meaning for anyone in the audience. An inclusive and engaging energy is the uniting through-line as Cabinet weaves bluegrass, country and folk influences to powerful effect. Tight dynamics punctuate gorgeous, soaring harmonies as down-to-earth rhythm and lyrics give way to dreamy jams that are the musical equivalent of the backroad scenic route. But this impressive result is no accident.

Jesse Terry, Lizanne Knott & Michael Logen
Presented by Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse at Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse
An evening with Jesse Terry, Lizanne Knott & Michael Logen. A special triple feature.
With his down-to-earth appeal and deceptively sharp writing, Jesse Terry plants himself firmly among the most promising singer-songwriters of his generation. His 2009 debut, The Runner, which was licensed to popular MTV shows The Hills and The City, introduced him as an inspired prodigy with the potential to score big on the Americana scene. Michael McCall of the Nashville Scene lauded Terry for offering "a sophisticated melodic touch to his tender musings about love and finding his place in the world." While the sounds of popular music become increasingly inflated, he wades into the fray with graceful, understated arrangements that embrace his ambitious songs. To listen to samples, visit www.jesseterrymusic.com
A long-standing member of the singer-songwriter scene in Philadelphia, Lizanne Knott has been captivating audiences throughout the Northeast and garnering attention from radio listeners across the globe. Well known locally for her floating vocals and lyrical juxtapositions, her apparent depth and transcending warmth make for an inviting mix of music which moves easily through dark poetic ballads to folk driven rock. To listen to samples, visit www.lizanneknott.com
Michael Logen is an international pop/folk artist, currently touring opening in 2009 for John Legend, Jonny Lang and Sister Hazel in the U.S. Including at The Ryman Auditorium, House of Blues/ New Orleans and Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta. In 2008, songs from Michael's album Things I Failed To Mention were featured on MTV's Real World and ABC's Kyle XY, and songs from the album won multiple awards including International Songwriting Competition's 09 Song of the Year Award in Folk/Singer-Songwriter Category and Unisong International Songwriting Competition 09 Song of the Year in Americana Category.

Your psoas muscle is the main hip flexor of the body and the main engine of walking. It is essentially responsible for holding us upright while standing.

Facets: Michael Smith and Linda Billet
Presented by Cerulean Arts Gallery and Studio at Cerulean Arts Gallery and Studio
Cerulean Arts is pleased to present Facets, featuring the work of artists Michael Smith and Linda Billet. While working in different media, both artists utilize shape, color, pattern and texture to create intriguing pieces.
The abstract paintings by Michael Smith often start with a memory; distanced by time, these figments are realigned converging disparate places and events. With a background in printmaking, Smith is drawn to pattern and flat forms yet the combination of shapes in his acrylic-on-panel paintings have great depth. The multi-faceted quality draws the viewer in and around the space he creates. A graduate of the Tyler School of Art, Smith also attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He has exhibited nationally and was a Samuel S. Fleisher Challenge recipient; his work is included in the corporate collections of Bell Atlantic and CIGNA.
Working with glass, Linda Billet uses the medium’s intrinsic properties to her advantage. Incorporating both fused and mosaic techniques, Billet’s fabricated compositions are full of sensory delight: jewel-like drops mixed with tactile patterns, vivid colors richly opaque and translucent. Both abstract and representational, her work draws inspiration from nature and her experience working with fabric. Billet is one of 60 contemporary glass artists whose work is featured in the book Art Glass Today by Jeffrey B. Snyder; her work is in the permanent collections of Harrisburg Area Community College and Yuko Nii Foundation.

The Nicole Zell Band with Ross Cohen
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
The Nicole Zell Band, an up-and-coming indie/folk-rock group, is a unique blend of three individuals' different music styles. Nicole Zell, lead singer, guitarist, and pianist of the band, has been immersed in music during all of her sixteen years. Growing up in a musical family, Nicole began singing at age three, playing piano at age five, and playing guitar at age thirteen. On fire with a love for words, songwriting came naturally to Miss Zell at age seven. Nicole's influences range from Vanessa Carlton to Michelle Branch to Dave Matthews Band to Kings of Leon. Her songs, however, have their own sound, filled with cool chord progressions, intricate fingerpicking, and vocals that can be smooth as honey or sharp as a knife. When Zell isn't writing more songs to add to her ample supply of over 100 originals, she records and produces music. She has produced two self-titled CDs, two Christmas CDs, recently completed her newest EP, Starting by Now, and recently completed an EP collaboration with Em Sea Water. "One listen and you'll hear that Nicole Zell's musical talents far surpass her age," fans proclaim.
A Love Note to Rio is Ross Cohen's fifth collection of songs. A reflection of his time spent living on the border between Texas and Mexico, the album draws its inspiration from the work of troubadours like Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, the spare beauty of South Texas, and the acoustic folk traditions that have come to define Ross Cohen's musical style. Love and loss, borders and blues, murder and margaritas, A Love Note to Rio is a musical snapshot of a time and a place dear to its singer's heart.

Refuge in Our Transcendental Nature
Presented by Amitayus Buddhist Center
Teachings on Refuge and Refuge Ceremony with Resident Teacher Gen Tenzin, at Amitayus Kadampa Buddhist Center
We all have a transcendental nature, a spiritual dimension to our being. We experience it whenever we feel a moment of love for another being, a sense of inner peace, a moment's joy. In those moments we are connecting with the pure nature of our mind, the potential within us for limitless love, peace, and joy. In a world of so much suffering and conflict, the key to a happy and meaningful life is to develop the ability to seek refuge in our transcendental nature; to connect with it, develop it and share it with everyone in our life and in our world. In Buddhism we call this going for refuge.
In this course Gen Tenzin will explain the Buddhist objects of refuge, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and how through learning to rely on them we connect with our pure nature. He will also show how to integrate this practice into our daily life. In this way we find protection from suffering, lay the foundation for happiness, and open the door to future enlightenment. This course will include, for those who wish, a beautiful and blessed refuge ceremony whereby we formally take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Everyone welcome.

Craig Thatcher's Salute to the Fillmore
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
The Fillmores East and West were the standards by which all other live venues measured themselves. They still do.
Every great group of the era (Allman Brothers, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Humble Pie, Miles Davis, and many others) recorded a live album there, capturing their sound and inspiration.
The Craig Thatcher Band recreates that spirit with a show dedicated to music of those remarkable bands. With an outstanding lineup of vocalists and musicians, this versatile group not only rips it up, but tells the great story of rock’s most iconic venues.

Italian All-Nighter Splatter Fest
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
What’s better than showing one awesome Italian horror film at the Colonial Theatre? Making it an all night affair to test the splatter limits of your horror fan existence! We’re pulling out all the stops to bring you a line up filled with incredibly strange, ridiculously bloody, rarely screened Italian horror cinema. All shown on 35mm, the likes of this show might never make the silver screen again. If that isn’t enough, we’ll also be running retro 35mm trailers between the films. Join us and see if you can survive the madness!
Nightmare
1981 – 97 min – aka Nightmares in a Damaged Brain or Blood Splash
This famous video nasty is reputed to be one of the most disturbing slasher films ever made. The blood flows in torrents when a mental patient is dosed with an experimental drug that his doctors hope will free him from the grip of homicidal mania. When it appears to work they set him free. But of course, it doesn’t work and the town is painted gleefully red in his vicious wake.
Grim Reaper
1980 – 87 min – aka Anthropophagus or The Zombie’s Rage
Directed by genre favorite Joe D’Amato, our second film also holds a place on the UK’s infamous Video Nasty list, having been banned there for being too horrific according to censors. It’s the story of a group of tourists visiting a Greek island that appears to be deserted. They soon discover that it isn’t entirely devoid of life and meet many horrific and splatter filled ends.
Screamers
1979 – 81 min – aka Island of the Fishmen
What diabolical madness is afoot on this lonesome Caribbean island? Has our hero survived two shipwrecks only to be stranded here with convicts? And what of the beautiful Barbara Bach; what does she know about the deadly fish men who now imperil our hero?
Shock
1977 – 93 min – aka Beyond the Door II
Despite the clever marketing ploy, this is not a sequel to Beyond the Door. Instead this is master Italian director Mario Bava’s final film. It’s a wicked ghost possession tale that absolutely doesn’t go where you think it is. We dare you to puzzle it out.
City of the Walking Dead
1980 – 88 min – aka Nightmare City
How can we not end an Italian Splatter Fest with a zombie film? This one’s a doozy! A nuclear accident leads to uncontrollable zombies being unleashed upon our hero, played by famed Mexican horror actor Hugo Stiglitz. Director Umberto Lenzi (of Cannibal Ferox and Eaten Alive fame) doesn’t consider this zombie film a zombie film, rather he claims it’s an anti war piece. Whatever he says, it’s got all the goods to please living dead fans.

In a World of Our Own: Philadelphia Voices of Pride Concert
Presented by Philadelphia Voices of Pride at Trinity Center for Urban Life
For their spring concert, In a World of Our Own, Philadelphia Voices of Pride (PVOP) is ushering in a few changes. They are excited to welcome a new artistic director, Daniel Schwartz, and also pleased to announce that they are performing in a new venue, the Trinity Center for Urban Life.
Daniel Schwartz is a recent graduate of Temple University’s Master’s Program for Choral Conducting. At his graduation in 2011, he was honored with the Elaine Brown Award for musicianship, dedication to excellence, and humanitarianism. Along with holding the position of Artistic Direction or Philadelphia Voices of Pride, Dan is the Conducting Apprentice and Core Singer with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, singer and Artistic Committee member of The Crossing, and future singer with the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus for their 2012/13 season.
In a World of Our Own showcases songs that are especially meaningful to our chorus. Think of it as a choral o-Pod on shuffle. Unsurprisingly, themes of love appear throughout—quirky (the Beatles’ “When I’m 64”), self-love (Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful”), and yearning (Queen’s “Somebody to Love”). PVOP members’ love of classical music (Faure’s “In Paradisum”), opera (Verdi’s “Anvil Chorus”), and Broadway (Spamalot’s “The Song That Goes Like This”) are also illustrated in this concert.

The Island
Presented by Lantern Theater Company at St. Stephen's Theater
The Island is Robben Island, South Africa's notorious prison, where John and Winston are political prisoners and cellmates. After absurdly grueling days laboring under the sun, they return to their dark cell to rehearse a makeshift performance of Sophocles' play Antigone. Winston takes the part of young Antigone, who defies the laws of the state for the sake of her conscience. John takes the part of Creon, the king, who is so desperate to hold onto power that he will crush any dissent. Rehearsals in the cramped cell will test their friendship and strain their resilience in this gripping, vivid portrait of apartheid-era struggle. Undeniably moving and surprisingly funny, this modern classic by Tony Award winners Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona celebrates hope, passion, and the strength of friendship.

The original courts were built at the base of Eastern State’s massive wall, and are now open, fully restored, for the first time this weekend. Prizes awarded all weekend for best players!
Also, two actors—one portraying tunnel mastermind Clarence Klinedinst and one portraying bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton—give their conflicting accounts of who designed the 1945 tunnel, how it was built, and why the escapees got caught.

Love in the Afternoon
Presented by The Colonial Theatre
This lovely bit of romantic comedy is often considered to be Billy Wilder’s tribute to his idol, Ernest Lubitsch. Filmed in Paris at such settings as the Opera and the Chateau de Vitry, and featuring the charms of Audrey Hepburn and Maurice Chevalier (as her father, a French private detective, no less!) and the sophisticated comedy writing of Wilder and his long-time collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, this is a film that sparkles.
Although star Gary Cooper was criticized at the time for being a bit too old to be playing a playboy philanderer, he carries the role off well. However, the elfin charms of Chevalier give the film its true Gallic flavor and often allow him to steal the show. Also, Hepburn’s winsome beauty and openness plays off well against Cooper’s maturity. As London’s Radio Times said about their relationship in this film, “she humanizes and energizes him with her European vivacity.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. So, if you’re in the mood for a touch of witty Parisian sophistication, excellent acting and beautiful settings, this is the film for you. (Bill Roth)

Splinters
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
“A real-life examination of competitive surfing in Papua New Guinea, the film derives tension from the proverbial big tournament but also from how the event helps foster a worthy morality.
Andy Abel of the Surfing Association of Papua New Guinea encourages villagers in Vanimo to participate in the country’s first National Surfing Titles, whose winners will go to Australia to train with world-class wave riders. Signing up are the proud, aggressive Angelus Lipahi and the earnest, hardworking Ezekiel Afara, both inspired by glossy magazine images of surfing superstars. The married Angelus is accused of fathering and financially neglecting children by a woman who is not his wife; on the eve of the competition, she threatens police action.
The sisters Susan and Lesley Umpa also enter the competition, with more at stake. Both are sick of having their surfboards (splinters, in indigenous slang) stolen by local men. The fiercely driven Lesley in particular says she resents the housebound drudgery expected of women and the endemic domestic abuse invariably accompanying it. Not all of these players win in this capable account of their struggles, but all contribute to a valuable lesson in fair play.” (Andy Webster, The New York Times)
Directed by Adam Pesce. US. 2011. NR. 94 min. Matson Films. 35mm.

Exhibition: Remainder
Presented by Philadelphia Photo Arts Center at Philadelphia Photo Arts Center
The Philadelphia Photo Arts Center is pleased to announce Remainder, a group exhibition including the work of Amy Beecher, Aspen Mays, Klea McKenna and Brent Wahl. Remainder is a term residing within the language of art and science that implies the end of an equation. This translates well into both the photography and broader art worlds as a metaphor for the process of creation. The exhibition presents a selection of each artist’s work that investigates the boundaries of abstraction within photography and seeks to reveal the shifting connections between surface and image.
Amy Beecher uses a range of media to create work that evokes elements of human bodily experience. Often, she uses her own bodily identity as a starting point, especially her transition from girlhood to womanhood. She is interested in paradoxes within the body: containment and expansion, entering and exiting, dirty and clean, vulnerable but covered. Her challenge is to find a visual language to describe bodily identity as a nuanced intersection of haptic experience, linguistic knowledge and material culture.
Aspen Mays’ project Sun Ruins brings together two major projects as they stand in a contradictory—yet mutually fulfilling—relationship to one another: one positivist, the other offering an interventionist and autonomous account on the limits of photographic depiction of celestial bodies. The series calls in to question the expectation of photography as documentary and categorical, and explores the visualization of forms of knowledge in both studio art and observational practices. The Sun 1957 is the collective title of 25 silver gelatin prints that depict the Sun from a mid-century international survey of sunspots. Though the negatives used by Mays were possibly discounted from the official study on individual criteria, their quantity en masse begins to create an encompassing picture of the Sun for that year. Being that the film negatives were unearthed from the darkroom’s archive organized by month, Mays has arranged them similarly with some months filling multiple sheets, while other months are recorded by fewer images. By recontextualizing the negatives, the artist constructs a dynamic grid of both spatial and temporal consequence.
In Klea McKenna’s series Dark Star, the historic Theatre Artaud in San Francisco became both the artists subject and studio. Over the course of several nights, Mckenna used the black box of the theatre itself as a darkroom in which to make images of the shapes, objects and infrastructure that make up the theatre space. She used analog photographic paper and the colored gels used in stage lighting to create large photograms. In many cases the images were exposed by the slivers of light that seep into the darkened theatre, through cracks, curtained windows and under doorways. This method transforms the silhouette of familiar, utilitarian forms into vividly colored abstractions. Just as in theatrical performance, these images rely on the power of total darkness to conjure fiction and allow fantasy to arise.
Brent Wahl’s photography, installation, and time-based media work focuses on conjuring the undercurrent of our reality. Through the use of ephemeral materials, he makes low-tech, yet complex constructions that often teeter on the verge of collapse. These ‘situations’ are often transformed from 3D to 2D via photography or through a photo time-based media. The resulting work strives for subtle fluctuations of meaning - meaning that quietly investigates both the disparate and similar links between cultural occurrences, abstraction, time, architecture, illusion, and the spectacle.

There is a mole on the Fifth Floor. Sometimes finding the mole is the easy part. To exterminate a mole takes guts... it takes guile... it takes extreme prejudice. And the only way to come out on top is to be... ASYMMETRIC...
Josh was the top interrogator in an elite anti-terrorist intelligence wing of the CIA until it all fell apart. Now he has one more chance to redeem himself, and to put his life and career back on track. But to do so could mean destroying the only person who ever really mattered to him.
New City is thrilled to close their sixth season with their very first commissioned play – a gut-wrenching espionage thriller from award-winning New York City scribe Mac Rogers.
Starring Kevin Bergen, Ross Beschler, Kim Carson and Eric Rolland.
Savage/Love and Tongues:
Innovative poetry and movement unfurl in this physical theatrical experience. Savage/Love is a propulsive quest of a lonely man looking for love and serves as a prelude to Tongues, a passionate fever dream in which a dying man delivers his last rites. These stream of consciousness confessionals are performed with live original music created just for our production.
This is a remount of New City's 2011 Fringe Festival hit, which the City Paper hailed as "a soul searing plunge."
At less than an hour long, this is one unique piece of theatre you don't want to miss the second time around.
Featuring film & theatre actor Russ Widdall as the Poet and music producer Josh Fox as the Percussionist.

Lauren Shera with David Ramirez
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
Music has played an integral part in Lauren Shera’s life from the very beginning. The New York native grew up surrounded by an eclectic range of performers. When she was 13, her family relocated to northern California at the same time that she picked up the guitar. In 2008, she studied at the renowned Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, where she expanded her knowledge of traditional folk music and honed her skills as a singer and a musician while adding ukulele and clawhammer banjo to her arsenal.
Her original songs and soulful voice combine to create a sound that is both powerful and melancholy. On her second and most recent album, Once I Was Bird, with the help of producer Andy Zenczak, Lauren weaves an opulent sound using an eclectic array of instruments including mandolin, violin, cello, banjo, ukelele, pump and pipe organs, trumpets, and more. The album’s lush sounds and beautiful temperament are complimented with guest performances by Abigail Washburn, and Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses).
Her personal experiences with grief and emotion translate effortlessly into stunning musical arrangements and haunting melodies. Lauren’s honest lyrics re-tell the stories of personal, hard-learned lessons with heartbreaking transparency, while imparting solace and wisdom to the listener. “It’s important to me that people are able to relate to [the album],” said Shera, “and take out of it a shared experience that everyone has been through in some form or another.”

From Wall Street to the Great Wall: An American Capitalist in China
Presented by World Affairs Council of Philadelphia at World Affairs Council of Philadelphia
No westerner knows China like Jack Perkowski, investment banker turned entrepreneur, who went to China and built one of the most successful companies in its automotive industry.
Upon graduating Cum Laude from Yale and with High Distinction from the Harvard Business School where he was named a Baker Scholar, Jack spent eighteen years on Wall Street, rising to head of investment banking at PaineWebber. Well before others recognized the significant role that China would play in the global economy, Jack spent three years investigating opportunities in Asia and China and, in 1994, founded ASIMCO, an automotive components company based in Beijing, China.
In 2009, Perkowski established JFP Holdings, a merchant bank for China, to help global companies develop and implement their China strategies and to assist Chinese companies in developing global footprints.
Jack Perkowski was featured in the best-selling book The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman. In 2008, he authored Managing the Dragon: How I’m Building a Billion Dollar Business in China.
Join WAC to hear how one man helped to successfully lead the way for American business development in China.

XPN Welcomes Alejandro Escovedo
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Alejandro Escovedo is one with his muse and his music. Over a lifetime spent traversing the bridge between words and melody, he has ranged over an emotional depth that embraces all forms of genre and presentation, a resolute voice that weathers the emotional terrain of our lives, its celebrations and despairs, landmines and blindsides and upheavals and beckoning distractions, in search for ultimate release and the healing truth of honesty. Sometimes it takes the form of barely contained rage, the rock of punk amid kneeled feedback; sometimes it caresses and soothes, a whispery harmony riding the air of a nightclub room, removed from amplification, within the audience.

A Conversation with Mark Kram, Jr.
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Like Any Normal Day centers on Buddy Miley, who in the fall of 1973 had been a star quarterback on his high school football team until he shattered his vertebrae in a game. In the 23 1/2 years that followed, his friends went off and had families of their own, but Buddy remained at home under the care of his mother, who saw to his every need until her own health broke down. When Buddy’s pain became unbearable, his brother Jimmy helped him take the last steps along his journey as they boarded a plane for Michigan and an appointment with Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
In Like Any Normal Day, Mark Kram, Jr. of the Daily News explores the enduring bond between brothers and the claims that duty places upon each of us in the wake of a catastrophic event.

Caleb Hawley with Riley Etheridge Geron Hoy
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel
On paper, Caleb Hawley’s resume reads as the standard Who’s Who for up-and-coming songwriters. Then you hear him sing, and you realize there is only one word needed to describe this artist: Extraordinary.
From his ability to write intricate lyrics with cutting-edge chords to his lightening fast licks and ear for taste and style, there is absolutely nothing average about this shaggy-haired, blue-eyed, multi-faceted musician. Receiving top honors in the prestigious New York Songwriters Circle Contest (2008 and 2009), the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (2009), the Telluride Festival (2010), the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (2010), and Rocky Mountain Folks Fest (2011) for his songwriting, he also has a voice to place him in the final fifty on the 2011 American Idol Season. Hawley is as aggressive as he is perseverant in advancing his art and impressing audiences with his unique and catchy approach to music.

Henry Bermudez Exhibition Reception
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Print and Picture Collection
Henry Bermudez
Print and Picture Hallway Gallery, 2nd floor
April 30th-June 30th, 2012
Bermudez’s drawings are steeped in mythical dream imagery, an otherworldliness. His figures emerge from the rich complexity of their settings, intertwining and flowing. His drawings exude a surrealistic atmosphere, suggesting a mythology full of cultures lost in the wilds of the jungle or living in a primordial world. Vines and trees are sinuous tangles emerging from the background, winding around themselves and figures. The artist’s drawings deftly explore the intersection of pre-Columbian and Christian art, melding the two cultures and creating a new language of images and meanings.
Henry Bermudez is one of the three artists selected to exhibit through the call for entries in March 2012. This project is made possible through the support of the Friends of the Print and Picture collection and the Robert F. Looney Fund.

Noted Stanford University ecologist Professor Paul Ehrlich will discuss the environmental and social impacts related to the current strain on Earth's carrying capacity. He will suggest how issues ranging from climate disruption and toxification of the planet to increasing odds of vast epidemics and nuclear resource wars can impact this strain.

White Fang and Nude Sunrise at Little Berlin
Presented by Little Berlin
White Fang (from Portland, Oregon) - Dream punk from the west coast! White Fang is the titular character and a novel by American author Jack London. White Fang is four lifelong friends (Erik Gage, Kyle Handley, Jimmy Leslie, Chris Uehlein) formed in Portland, OR in 2005 while still in high school, first as a recording band, then as a folk band, then as a punk band, then as a noise band, then as a punk band again. White Fang plays a wild, frenetic punk-thrash sound reminiscent of Black Eyes and (although lacking the discipline) Nation of Ulysses.
http://whitefang420.bandcamp.com/
Nude Sunrise (from Chicago, Illinois) - As D. Boon once put it, "American trash can really ruin a good time," but it’s just the opposite with Nude Sunrise. Here we have two dudes playing absolutely disgusting-sounding junk guitar juke-joint riffs/wah-wah jah-jah/100% fucked noise solos; a guy described by his own bandmates as 'not really a drummer' bashing out lurching, drooling-dumb rhythms on a pretty awful kit; a skinny nerd playing "My Girl" on keyboard bass. Pretty much my favorite new band, Nude Sunrise play classic American trash and it is a really, really good time.
http://nudesunrise.bandcamp.com/
PSYCHIC TEENS (from Philly) - Philly's resident goth punks. "The Teens have the post punk dissonant delivery of Birthday Party, but with the urgency of Black Flag, and vocalist Larry Ragone has the command of Iggy Pop yet the coldness of Ian Curtis."
http://psychicteensnetwork.bandcamp.com/
TRUE GOLD (from Philly) - "South Philly’s True Gold can carry you into the ether with angelic vocals and soaring guitar riffs." They have two songs: The one that starts slow and then jams out through infinite gnarls and the one with the rock beat that makes you dance till the sun comes up. Their 12-inch is scheduled to release on Phonographic Arts whenever those dudes stop being so busy with booking so many shows.

Tom Paxton
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Lifetime Achievement Grammy Recipient Tom Paxton is best known for his countless standards, such as "Ramblin' Boy," “Where I'm Bound,” "Whose Garden Was This" and “The Last Thing On My Mind." He’s become a voice for addressing issues of social injustice and inhumanity while laying bare the absurdities of modern culture. An integral part of the folk music community since the early 60's Greenwich Village scene, Tom Paxton's place in folk music is secured not just by hit records and awards but as a loved cultural figure who has always chosen goodwill over commercial success. "Tom's songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of America." - Pete Seeger "Tom Paxton's songs are so powerful and lyrical, written from the heart and the conscience." - Judy Collins "Tom Paxton embodies the spirit of folk music in the most beautiful sense." - Ani DiFranco

MST3K: The Beast of Yucca Flats
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
Join us again for more hijinks aboard the Satellite of Love as we accompany Mike, Crow and Tom Servo into the bleak, strangely narrated world of director Coleman Francis. The Beast of Yucca Flats follows the misadventures of former professional wrestler Tor Johnson as a defecting Russian scientist who strays onto a nuclear bomb testing site at just the wrong moment and is transformed into more of a monster of a man, with a predilection for strangling women.
The narrator does his best to befuddle the viewer with non sequiturs at every turn - like a beat poet without a mental filter dropped into a blender. Accompanying the main film are two of the most hysterical shorts which Dr.F has every unleashed on his test subjects: Money Talks! featuring a strange spectral Ben Franklin and Progress Island, a crazy travel brochure extolling the virtues of Puerto Rico.

XPN Welcomes Chris Smither
Presented by Abbey Bar at Abbey Bar
Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for more than 40 years and having released thirteen records, Chris Smither is truly an American original. A profound songwriter, Chris continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. A blistering guitarist, Chris melds the styles of his two major influences, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt, into his own signature guitar sound. Reviewers praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting. New York Times: With a weary, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate.

Michael Kiwanuka
Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia
Born in Muswell Hill, London, to Ugandan émigré parents, Michael Kiwanuka was brought up in a home from which music was largely absent, with his first introduction to rock (Nirvana, Radiohead) arriving at the same time as he began to hang with the skater kids in the north London suburb during his early teenage years. Later coming across a soul compilation album given away with a music monthly, he was enthralled by the sound of Otis Redding’s studio talkback discussions with his engineer while recording an outtake version of "(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay." From this point on, he resolved to make music that sounded raw and authentic.

Presented by Cape May Stage Professional Equity Theatre at Cape May Stage Professional Equity Theatre
Written and performed by Dominic Hoffman
Uncles Jacques' Symphony begins with the introduction of Jacques Hoffman, a 'hip cat with fast hands on the music scene in 1950s Chicago.' A jazz drummer that had to wrench himself away from club dates and late nights in order to enter [the 9 to 5 world]. The change tore the music out of Jacques' soul [so] he built a symphony out of the people in his life. This is a play about seven of these very diverse human beings who all shared the friendship of Jacques Hoffman.

Paul Thorn Band
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
It’s always an interesting thing when a great songwriter releases an album of covers. It gives you a peak into the mind of someone who is at the top of his craft, revealing the influences that went into building his songwriting skill and the contemporaries he holds in esteem.
Thorn, who worked the road 180 days last year and has had the same band for fifteen years, is set to release his tenth album, What The Hell Is Going On? on May 8th. It will be his first time to delve into songs of other writers.
Thorn has been pleasing crowds for years with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern, yet also speaking universal truths. The Tupelo, Mississippi, native worked in a furniture factory, jumped out of airplanes, and was a professional boxer before sharing his experiences with the world as a singer-songwriter.

Standing next to other contemporary duos like The Weepies, The Civil Wars, The Swell Season, The Sea, The Sea is spare beauty, bravely unadorned.
Two voices that blend like smoke and air. Like night and a whisper. Two distinct award-winning songwriters that meet in the mercury, collide and create emotionally spare music. Simple and true.

Kath Bloom with Lac La Belle and Cave Country
Presented by Folkadelphia at Studio 34
Folkadelphia is honored to present an intimate performance from legendary songwriter Kath Bloom. Kath has been a fixture of the independent American folk scene since the early ‘70s, when she began a fruitful musical partnership with avant-garde guitarist Loren MazzaCane Connors. In 1995, Bloom’s song “Come Here” was featured in a decade-defining scene of Richard Linklater’s seminal film ‘Before Sunrise.’ Her latest album, Thin Thin Line, was released in 2010 on Mark Kozelek’s Caldo Verde Records and is as tender and emotional as she’s always been. She will be releasing a new EP Here I Am in late June.
Also performing are Lac La Belle (from Detroit) and Cave Country (from California).
Staged at the gorgeous Studio 34 space in West Philly, you will not want to miss this concert of some of the best contemporary folk musicians.

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Presented by International House Philadelphia at The Ibrahim Theater at International House
Once upon a time… or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humor, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of bluedom.
Born in Toronto, George Dunning (1920-1979) had already worked on the animated television series, The Beatles. Inspired by the generations’ new Pop Art styles, Dunning worked closely with German poster artist Heinz Edelmann, taking nearly two years, some 14 different scripts, 40 animators and 140 technical artists.
Newly restored, this groundbreaking animated adventure – melding live-action with animation, 3D sequences and kaleidoscopic “rotoscoping” – is a fantastic tale filled with peace, love, hope and music including “Eleanor Rigby”, “When I’m 64”, “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “All You Need Is Love” creating a masterpiece for all ages.

De Pueblo a Pueblo: A Celebration of Mexican Culture in Venues throughout Philadelphia
Presented by Philadelphia's Magic Gardens at Various Locations
De Pueblo a Pueblo (From Town to Town) is an eight-week celebration in Spring 2012 that will honor our local Mexican community by promoting greater understanding of traditional arts, language, and history of our southern neighbors. The citywide festival will connect this growing population and their customs with a broader Philadelphia audience.
This festival will kick off with the opening reception for Echele Ganas: Do Your Best, a photographic exhibition featuring the people of La Sierra del Norte, a small village in Puebla, Mexico. This event and exhibition will take place at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens and will serve as the geographic and visual heart of De Pueblo a Pueblo.
Over 20 participating groups are providing a variety of opportunities to learn more about Mexican culture and have fun in the process. Hands-on activities, performances, traditional foods, crafts and folk art, and discussions about immigration provide many windows to learn about our neighbors south-of-the-border.
De Pueblo A Pueblo was formed in partnership with Laurence Salzmann and Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, modeled after Salzmann’s previously-organized El Festival Cubano. Salzmann, a photographer and documentarian, saw his recent series of photo essays as catalysts to connect the Mexican population of Philadelphia through meaningful, relationship-building programs and events. The festival Advisory Committee, comprised of many supporters of the local Mexican community, developed the concept for De Pueblo a Pueblo and coordinates the participants.
Participants include: Casa Monarca, Copa Banana, El Sol Sale Para Todos, Eye's Gallery, International House, Laurence Salzmann, Messages in Motion, Mexican Consulate of Philadelphia, Moonstone Arts Center, Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac, Penn Museum, Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Puentes de Salud, Scribe Video Center, and the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia.

Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia
Toy Soldiers is a rowdy, hard-working bunch who spent most of 2011 playing 120+ shows across the east coast and southern U.S. tearing through everything from tiny dive bars to festival stages to big theaters with a brand of soulful rock and roll music that takes its roots, puts it in a blender and pours out that good old feeling made for today. From it's beginnings as a duo started by Ron Gallo in Philadelphia in 2007, to it's era of fluctuating cast of players and it's eventual growth into a solid 5-piece band consisting of Gallo (lead vocals, guitar), Dominic Billett (drums), Bill McCloskey (bass), Matt Kelly (guitar), and Luke Leidy (keys), Toy Soldiers love a good song and dance with no pretense and no wall between the band and audience (literally, as members often end up in the crowd).

Presented by Watson Adventures at The Franklin Institute
Join Watson Adventures on a unique murder mystery scavenger hunt for adults!
Someone, or some thing, has been bumping off Franklin Institute staffers involved in the recent discovery of a long-lost invention by Benjamin Franklin. This “infernal machine” has a murky past: Freemasons supposedly used it as part of a secret ritual. Are the deaths caused by the invention, or part of the fabled “Curse of the Freemasons”? Or is a serial killer on the loose? Your team of sleuths will have to crack a secret code and uncover the museum’s secrets to solve the mystery and stop the killings. This hunt is for adults only.
Price includes museum admission. Advance purchase is required via http://www.watsonadventures.com.

Acoustic Guitar Workshop with Trevor Gordon Hall
Presented by Chaplin's - The Music Café at Chaplin's Music Café
The acoustic guitar has numerous possibilities but often people feel stuck playing the same things for months or even years. How do you get out of a musical rut? How do you know if you are progressing? How do you know how to progress? These are some of the topics that will be covered. People of all skill levels are invited to join as Trevor will discuss various topics from practice exercises, inspiration, and composition. Trevor Gordon Hall Trevor is an acoustic instrumentalist whose compositions range in style from driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases. Trevor caught the eye of 9 time Grammy winning producer Joe Nicolo (James Taylor, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, etc.), who produced two of Trevor’s releases entitled “Finding My Way” and “Let Your Heart Be Light”. These releases garnered high reviews and gave Trevor such opportunities as recording with bass virtuoso Michael Manring and sharing the stage with guitarists such as Phil Keaggy, Erik Mongrain, Patty Larkin and Alex Skolnick. His most recent project has led him to collaborate with various builders to redesign an instrument called the kalimba, which mounts on the surface of the guitar. Compositions inspired by the pairing of the two instruments can be heard in Trevor’s Candyrat Records debut “Entelechy”. Upon its release, this album climbed the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts, as well as YouTube Top Commented/Top Favorited/Most Discussed categories with the release of Videos. In a matter of months the videos went on to gain over half a million views. His music has been featured on various radio stations including NPR and televisions programs including NBC. www.trevorgordonhall.com Krista Parrish Krista Parrish had her first #1 hit with ‘Easier Said Than Done’ on the indie music charts in 2010 the week she released her album, ‘Playing With Pendulums’. She was a winner in the 2010 God’s of Indie Guitar competition and her song, ‘Mexico’ was among the tracks selected for their worldwide album release. "At any given moment, she can conjure the flavors of Al Di Meola, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Eric Clapton, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and even a taste of Dave Mustaine." Mark Morton, Music Emissions In 2011, she caught the eye of people at Breedlove Guitar company and was offered an endorsement deal. Parrish and her band have shared stages with Stanley Jordan, Acoustic Alchemy, Lee Ritenour, Sonny Emory (drummer, Earth Wind &Fire), Jim Weider (The Band), Rodney Holmes (drummer, Santana), Keller Williams, Garaj Mahal and Francis Dunnery. . “Krista’s command of the guitar could easily steal the show if her voice weren’t equally magnetic.” says T.J. Alexander Channel 6 ABC.

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Presented by International House Philadelphia at The Ibrahim Theater at International House
Once upon a time… or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humor, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of bluedom.
Born in Toronto, George Dunning (1920-1979) had already worked on the animated television series, The Beatles. Inspired by the generations’ new Pop Art styles, Dunning worked closely with German poster artist Heinz Edelmann, taking nearly two years, some 14 different scripts, 40 animators and 140 technical artists.
Newly restored, this groundbreaking animated adventure – melding live-action with animation, 3D sequences and kaleidoscopic “rotoscoping” – is a fantastic tale filled with peace, love, hope and music including “Eleanor Rigby”, “When I’m 64”, “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “All You Need Is Love” creating a masterpiece for all ages.

Month of Moderns III: Love Unknown
Presented by The Crossing at St. Clement's Church
Francis Pott’s genius for moving from meditative music through soaring lines to brilliant climaxes inspired our invitation for him to write a new work for this concert. The world premiere will be complemented by his monumental My Song is Love Unkown, which was a highlight of The Crossing's 2009 season. The Crossing will explore a variety of sacred texts with familiar composers Gabriel Jackson and James MacMillan while introducing to the audience to the extraordinarily creative compositional voices of Estonia’s Toivo Tulev in his Rejoice!, Rejoice! Rejoice! (composed for Elizabeth II’s 2006 state visit to Estonia) and Urmas Sisask in five songs from his epic Gloria Patri, based on the composer’s “planetal scale” of five notes, derived from the rotation of the planets around the sun. The concert offers a rare and varied look into modern devotional art and the extraordinary beauty it inspires in today’s composers.
The commissioned world premiere is written for the opening concert of the National Conference of the Association of Anglican Musicians, whose members will be in attendance as sponsor of this concert.

Andy Warhol Exhibition
Presented by Reading Public Museum at Reading Public Museum
More than 60 pop prints and four paintings are the focus of an exciting exhibition at the Reading Public Museum, The Prints of Andy Warhol, on view from March 3 through June 17, 2012. Iconic works by one of the leading figures in twentieth century art including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Mao Tse-Tung, Mick Jagger, Ronald Reagan, and Judy Garland, along with the artist’s famous Soup Cans and Camouflage prints. The exhibition provides an outstanding overview of Warhol’s career as a printmaker. The photographic silk screens date from the early 1960s to the late 1980s.
In addition to the prints and paintings, this special “expanded” exhibition will feature two more engaging aspects of Warhol’s career — in one gallery, an installation of “Silver Clouds,” which recreates a 1966 exhibition that the artist mounted at the Leo Castilli Gallery in New York City consisting of large, free-floating Mylar® pillow-shaped balloons, and in another, a continuous screening of Warhol’s famous “Screen Tests.” Some of these highlight well-known figures such as Dennis Hopper, Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Salvador Dali, and Marcel Duchamp.
There will be a Members-Only Opening Reception on Friday, March 2, from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. ($15 admission). Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served, and will include a Curator’s Top Five Talk in the galleries.

Echele Ganas: Do Your Best - Photographs by Laurence Salzmann
Presented by Philadelphia's Magic Gardens at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
Laurence Salzmann is a native of Philadelphia who has worked as a photographer/filmmaker since the early 1960s. His projects document the lives of little-known groups in America and abroad. He looks at the lives of people ranging from occupants of single room occupancy hotels in New York City to transhumant shepherds in Transylvania, residents of a Mexican village, and Philadelphia Mummers. His photographic study of a nearly extinct Jewish community in Romania was published as The Last Jews of Radauti by Dial/Doubleday in 1983, with text by Ayse Gürsan-Salzmann. His most recent work in Mexico is soon to be published in book form by Blue Flower Press under the title: Échele Ganas - Do Your Best.
Salzmann's photographic method is deeply informed by his background in anthropology and involves long term participation in and observation of groups or events. His work illustrates how lives and events are shaped by the environments and conditions in which people live.
This collection of photographs from award winning photographer/filmmaker Laurence Salzmann focuses on the village of Tonalapa, situated in the northern region of the state of Puebla. The village is a microcosm of the many hundreds of villages that are located in Mexico’s Sierra Norte de Puebla, a region nearly 100 km long by 50 km wide, and extends into the state of Hidalgo from where thousands of Mexicans have made their way in recent years to the United States in search of work. While the older villagers focus on their lives and the history of their culture, younger people confront employment in the United States and the effects of their labor on the Sierra Norte de Puebla region. Salzmann’s stunning photographs allow viewers of all cultures to better understand the remarkable people of Sierra Norte de Puebla.

Charade
Presented by The Colonial Theatre
Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, two of the most charismatic stars of their respective generations, star in this charming, sophisticated comedy-mystery. Set in a beautifully Technicolor-photographed Paris, the Hitchcock-like plot has Cary coming to the aid of recent widow Hepburn, as she seeks to recover a fortune that was secreted away by her ex-husband, as she is being threatened by a trio of unsavory crooks.
With a wonderfully romantic score by Henry Mancini, and star-making turns by the likes of Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy, Charade sparkles with a sharp sense of fun amidst the danger and thrills. (And only Cary Grant could look so suave while taking a shower fully dressed, and while fighting a hook-handed villain on a rooftop.) (Bill Roth)
Directed by Stanley Donnen. US. 1963. 113 min. Universal. 35mm.

Dragonslayer
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
Dragonslayer won the top documentary award at the South by Southwest Film Festival last year, where it had its world premiere. “The measured vérité style of Frederick Wiseman meets the visual polish of Terrence Malick in Dragonslayer, a fascinating slice of crude Americana from first-time director Tristan Patterson.
However, it stands alone with an infectious hard rock attitude. Patterson doesn’t have the epic aims of those filmmakers but equals their respective abilities to create thoroughly involving environments, pitting gorgeous imagery against cold reality with a delicacy rarely seen in the non-fiction form.
Both intimate diary film and a scrappy take on the sports documentary, Dragonslayer follows southern Californian skateboarder Skreech, whose real name is Josh Sandoval, at 23 already a jaded punk rocker and perpetually stoned pariah seemingly adrift in his aimless existence. Rather than analyze Sandoval’s world at a distance, Patterson’s movie inhabits it. Departing from the conventions of documentary portraiture, Dragonslayer delivers the cinematic equivalent punk rock candy.” (Eric Kohn, IndieWire)
Directed by Tristan Patterson. US. 2011. NR. 74 min. Blu ray.

Topdog Underdog
Presented by GoKash Productions at Walnut Street Theatre - Studio 5
Topdog / Underdog is the story of two brothers, abandoned by their parents as adolescents. Lincoln, the older brother, is now divorced, and living with younger brother Booth in a seedy, dilapidated room in a boarding house. They have no running water, but they have plenty of liquor. The room is furnished without comforts and with minimal furniture, including milk crates and a sheet of cardboard that serves as the card table for Booth to practice his 3-card monte hustle.
Suzan-Lori Parks' Pulitzer Prize-winning drama has been called a physical, fun, emotionally draining masterpiece about two brothers in a power struggle for their lives. Topdog / Underdog represents GoKash Productions' first presentation of a non-original theatre work.
Philadelphia actors Kash Goins and Roderick Slocum will portray the brothers, Lincoln and Booth. Directing is a young and rising Philadelphia director, Ms. Malika Oyetimein, assisted by Donja R. Love.

Dark Sisters
Presented by Opera Company of Philadelphia at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts - Perelman Theater
The Opera Company of Philadelphia is proud to partner with New York’s Gotham Chamber Opera and Music-Theatre Group in the co-commission and co-production of Dark Sisters, a new American Opera with music by Nico Muhly and a libretto by Stephen Karam.
In a world where personal identity is forbidden, Dark Sisters follows one woman’s quest for self-discovery as she attempts to escape her life as a member of the FLDS Church (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), a polygamous sect based in the Southwestern United States. Dark Sisters puts the women of the patriarchal FLDS sect front and center. The narrative draws inspiration from the flurry of media attention surrounding the two most famous raids on FLDS compounds (the 1953 raid at Short Creek, AZ, and the 2008 raid at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado, TX) as well as from the stories of the more than 80 wives of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
An incredible ensemble of strong female stars headline the production, led by Caitlyn Lynch as Eliza, the conflicted central wife, and starring Jennifer Zetlan, Eve Gigliotti, Margaret Lattimore, and Jennifer Check. Award-winning Broadway director Rebecca Taichman stages this compelling production designed by London’s 59 Productions, with Gotham Music Director Neal Goren conducting.

American Travelling Morrice
Presented by Stockton Inn at Stockton Inn
The American Travelling Morrice is comprised of dancers and musicians from across North America and abroad. While many of us perform regularly with teams in our hometowns, we come together for one week each year to form the Travelling Morrice. Since 1976, the group has toured throughout the Northeastern United States and England. Morris dancing is an English country tradition, with roots in medieval street theatre. For hundreds of years, teams of white-clad men have capered and stepped through the intricate patterns of the dance, clashing wooden sticks and waving handkerchiefs in time to lively traditional tunes. The American Travelling Morrice continues this tradition for a week each summer, bringing the morris dance to a new geographical region. Since 1976, the men have toured throughout New York, New England and Pennsylvania, with performances at such settings as The House of Seven Gables, Newport Folk Festival, Old Montreal, and the White House.
A morris “stand” is a colorful spectacle indeed. The dancers, with small bells strapped to their legs, leap through complex figures accompanied by the music of the accordion, fiddle, or the ancient pipe and tabor. Directing the proceedings with comical grace is the all-licensed Fool, whose antics amuse the onlookers and harass the dancers. Moreover, it was thought in ancient times that morris dancing brought good luck and prosperity to the community.

Quantum Healing, Group Activation with Bette Hanson
Presented by Wake Up Yoga at Wake Up Yoga Fairmount
We face so many challenges in our world that throw our energies into disarray. Artificial chemicals in our food, pollutants in the air, electromagnetic radiation from technology and the unyielding stress of daily life keeps us on edge. Our minds are flooded with worry, negative thoughts and kept in a constant state of fight or flight mode draining us of our energy and vital life force. Our natural birthright is radiant joy, love, peace & profound silence. The Quantum Healing group activation reconnects us through zero point or quantum energy to the 'Source' of all creation—restoring us to our natural state which can have profound & intelligent healing ability, mentally, physically, emotionally, psychologically, karmically and spiritually. Participants are activated to use this energy immediately after attending the first event.
The nature of the Quantum work combines two potent divine energies to create a group field of harmonic resonance of profound possibility and pure potentiality, which aligns us with purpose and our highest Self. Divine Diamond® opens the field and VortexHealing® is channeled to each participant using focused intent. It is living, elevated divine energy that knows exactly what we need to help reconnect us with our natural Self, awaken and evolve.

Slow Dusk by Carlisle Floyd
Presented by Philadelphia Opera Collective
Join Philadelphia-based opera company the Philadelphia Opera Collective at their next performance of the American opera Slow Dusk by Carlisle Floyd. Floyd’s first opera is a simple yet powerful story, set in the sand hills of the Carolinas, amidst poverty and religious extremism. The story unfolds around a tragedy on a May afternoon, which alters the course of a young girl’s life.
The Philadelphia Opera Collective is a group consisting of young professionals and emerging artists in the operatic field. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for young artists as well as creating a forum where the creative development of the operatic medium is a collective effort among its artists. We hope to use our productions to not only increase the amount of chamber opera in Philadelphia but to craft an environment where opera becomes accessible to those not familiar with the art form.

Matinee - The Artist as a Filmmaker
Presented by Philadelphia Film Society at University of the Arts - Gershman Hall Studio Theater
Joe Dante is best known for his stylized “scare” films, most famously the 1984 film, Gremlins. His film Matinee is an ode to farcical, B-grade movies which were a staple of his early career as a fanzine horror film critic. Joe Dante graduated from the University of the Arts in 1968 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography.
The Philadelphia Film Society and the University of the Arts present The Artist as a Filmmaker, a monthly series highlighting world-renowned directors whose careers transitioned from visual artistry to filmmaking. The monthly program expands the Philadelphia Film Festival’s Masters of Cinema sidebar, educating audiences on the collaboration of multiple art forms, while celebrating the introductory year of the University of the Arts’ School of Film in 2012.
To preserve the onscreen experience, the showcase will aim to present a majority of films on 35mm prints. All screenings will be held in the Levitt Auditorium at the University of the Arts’ Gershman Hall building.

Kindermusik - Village Class, 0-18 Months
Presented by Kindermusik with Amanda Joy at Leverington Presbyterian Church
Kindermusik is the world's leading developmentally-based, early childhood music and movement program. They believe that every child is musical, that music is the most powerful learning tool on the planet, and that early integration of music into daily life supports, nurtures and accelerates the natural development process. Their philosophies are based on decades of classroom experience, and on scientific research that proves music strengthens and stimulates neural pathways in children's brains, making the connections needed for every type of intelligence. Each activity in their carefully-chosen curriculum is designed to support the growth of the “whole child,” meaning all areas of development: physical, emotional, cognitive, social, language acquisition, and of course, musical ability. Using an individualized approach, they help parents discover more about their child's unique developmental process and empower them to become their child's most important teacher. The home materials provided allow parents to bring the benefits of each class into their homes. With a classroom environment that is as much fun for parents as it is for their children, you can sing, sway, laugh and play your way into creating a unique bond that can only come from shared learning experiences.
These days the options for children's activities seem endless, but there is once choice that helps your child learn and grow more than any other and that's Kindermusik. Come try a class for free and see for yourself why 99% of parents recommend it!

Ben Sollee
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Ben Sollee wants you to experience all the beauty and banality that life has to offer. It's a serious request, and his enthusiasm is genuine. Armed with a cello, Sollee is canvassing the country, sometimes by bicycle, imploring folks to rediscover the connections between music, art, film, dance, their community, and personal relationships.
These factors ultimately translate to the mindset and making of Ben's new project
Inclusions. Beyond bridging genres and demographics with earnest, dynamic songwriting and passionate performances, Ben Sollee seeks to intertwine his music with art and life. The theme of Inclusions is large, humanistic and universal – how relationships influence us all, whether intentional or not.

Sonny Landreth
Presented by ArtsQuest/Bethlehem Musikfest at Musikfest Cafe at Steel Stacks

From the Reach, the Grammy-nominated Landreth's most recent album, was the first to be released on his own Landfall label. On it, the Louisiana-based slide-guitar wizard did something unprecedented in his body of work, as he collaborated with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet - Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill - in some jaw-dropping performances. Landreth has performed at festivals throughout the nation, including at Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, as well as MerleFest and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Finbar Furey
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Finbar Furey has left his mark on the music of Ireland for more than four decades. As the lead singer, banjo and uillean pipes player for The Fureys, a group he shared with his brothers Eddie, Paul and George, he helped to guide the evolution of Ireland's traditional music. Since leaving the band to pursue a solo career in 1995, Furey has continued to attract attention with his gutsy approach to the music of the Emerald Isle. He has toured extensively in Britain, Australia and Europe, treating audiences to evenings of pure Irish magic, great music, good humour and the charm and sparkling wit associated with one of Ireland's great raconteurs. From his early folk days in the late '60s to a more contemporary, raw and emotional style today, his music is determined, irresistibly intriguing and reflective, and reaffirms his status as one of our great folk heroes.
This year sees the release of a great new album, Colours, featuring new self-penned songs such as "Walking with my Love," a duet with Mary Black, and "Rivers of Steel," in which he duets with Shayne Ward. There are some golden oldies revisited there too: The Old Man, Dan O' Hara, and Dylan's "Blowin in the Wind." Finbar recently added acting to his long hist of credits, playing a singing role in Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York followed by acting roles in Mark Mahon's Strength and Honour alongside Vinny Jones, Richard Chamberlain, Michael Madsen and Patrick Bergin. Last year he had a part in a short film, Paris/ Sexy, where he plays a stunning role as a mentally ill ex-gamekeeper. This past year he played a part in RTE's feted drama series, Love/Hate.

Fat Daddy Has Been with Sweet Leda and Katie Dill
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
"Best Live Act", "Best Hip Hop Group" and "Best Horn Section" are just a few of the accolades bestowed upon the 7-member collective known as Fat Daddy Has Been from media outlets all over Delaware, Philadelphia and South Jersey. No newcomers to the music scene, the name Fat Daddy Has Been was in fact coined because all seven members are seasoned musicians that have an extensive body of work behind them, most notably their frontman Marchitect who, as a member of the wildly popular group The 49ers, has enjoyed the total sales of 6 million records total in the Japan market and a #1 hip-hop song on iTunes. Consisting of a drummer, bass guitarist and a 3-piece horn section in addition to Marchitect's vocals, Fat Daddy Has Been has been touring and releasing records for six years; recently releasing their third independent album, Cannot Kill My Music, which features cameos from Dice Raw (The Roots) and The Last Emperor. Their live show is the real draw and is not to be missed. Their effortless mash-up of genres blend easily under Marchitect's smooth voice and lyrics, while the horn section punctuates their signature sound.

The Matt Cermanski Band and Matt Santry with Matt Borrello
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
The Matt Cermanski Band specializes in pop-rock songs such as the smash hit, "Darling," which has been featured on the NBC 10 Show along with many other media outlets. Based out of the Phoenixville, PA, area, Matt Cermanski and his band plan to keep making good music and put on great shows for fans and those soon to be.
From full-time social worker to full time musician, Matt Santry has made the unlikely transition from playing music for autistic children to rocking audiences of loyal fans. Santry credits the years he spent working one-on-one with children with disabilities as a contributing factor to his ability to successfully create a connection with his current audiences. From his home base of Philadelphia, Santry has developed his sound and live show in clubs, coffee shops and campuses between New York and L.A. Since 2006, Santry has performed over 500 shows.
After much anticipation, Matt released his sophomore record in August of 2010. Produced by Grammy winning songwriter Scot Sax (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw), and mixed by Grammy winning mix engineer, Jeff Juliano (John Mayer), the new songs showcase Santry's maturing skills as a writer and performer. Matt has drawn on his years of experience as a social worker to inform his sensibilities and hone his ability to communicate lyrically.
Matt Borrello is a singer-songwriter from Southeastern Massachusetts. For five years Matt has performed regularly in the Boston/Providence area, usually as a solo acoustic act, but also as a sideman for other songwriters and as the leader of his band, the Quality Dogs. His songs draw their structures from folk, country, blues, and rock music. He is a lover of spontaneous collaborations and his songs often have several different arrangements. Matt writes from a personal perspective, but his songs are markedly devoid of the boring self-pity that plagues the repertoires of many acoustic balladeers. He has several protest songs and no breakup songs. Matt's insightful lyrics and passionate performances have earned him recognition in various New England talent showcases and songwriting contests, most notably at the Boston Folk Festival Youth Songwriting Contest.

Leon Redbone Trio
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
While his gravelly baritone and omnipresent fedora, dark glasses, and Groucho Marx mustache made him one of the more distinct and recognizable characters in popular music, little is known about the neo-vaudeville crooner Leon Redbone. Throughout his career, he steadfastly refused to divulge any information about his background or personal life.
After 1978's Champagne Charlie, Redbone began recording only sporadically; following 1981's Branch to Branch, he waited four years before reentering the studio to cut Red to Blue. Invariably, his albums featured guest appearances from an eclectic cast of luminaries.
Redbone has released approximately fifteen albums and earned a sizable cult following. His concerts blend performance, comedy, and skilled instrumentals. Recurrent gags involve the influence of alcohol and claiming to have written works originating well before his time.
We tend to feel there could be no appropriate place for Mr. Redbone to play than at the Mauch Chunk Opera House, considering his Vaudevillian roots, the inherent sound and mystery of the venue – even the fact that Mae West once played here. We’ll see what happens.

Jason Myles Goss CD Release Show! with Dietrich Strause
Presented by Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse at Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse
An evening with Jason Myles Goss.
To listen to samples, visit www.jasonmylesgoss.com
A Hopedale, MA, native, Jason has been writing and recording since 2003 when he released his first full length album Long Way Down. Since then, he's spent his time touring and releasing subsequent albums before settling down long enough to make Radio Dial, in which he enlisted the help of friends Austin Nevins (guitars) and Sam Kassirer (keys), both members of Josh Ritter's Royal City Band, as well as David Dawda (bass) and Joel Arnow (drums).
Self-produced at Vanity Sound in Brooklyn, NY, Jason and engineer Myles Turney began by recording live to analog tape, giving the foundation of the album a scrappy, raw quality, evocative of roots-based album. Yet, the songs also contained big, melody-driven, pop ambitions. However, rather than grapple with these two divergent influences, Jason strove at the outset to make a record where they both could sit side by side at the same musical table. It was in that spirit that Radio Dial, Jason’s fourth album, was born
Opening will be special guest Dietrich Strause.

Keith Ragone & Jack Larimore
Presented by Snyderman-Works Galleries
Born in 1954 in Vineland, Keith Ragone was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In 1998, Ragone was awarded a Ballinglen Arts Foundation Artist Residency in Ireland. He has also received fellowship and scholarship awards from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
The titles of Keith Ragone's paintings allude repeatedly to water environments; swamp, salt marsh, foam, the sea, and hint at close observation of nature near his rural New Jersey home. At the same time, these large oil paintings and smaller oil-on-gessoed-paper works are also fully, knowingly abstract.

An Evening with Epiphany Project
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
Bet Williams and John Hodian have been performing and recording as Epiphany Project since 1992, creating music that the Washington Post calls "a unique hybrid of world music, art song, Americana and avant-garde folk; utterly uncategorizeable but always transcendently beautiful."
A fearless vocalist with a stunning four-octave voice, Bet Williams has mesmerized audiences across America and Europe with what Sing Out! magazine calls "the sheer beauty of her instrument and the passion with which she sings."
John Hodian's free-flowing piano playing has been called "impassioned and evocative" by the Philadelphia Inquirer and "pure genius!" by Applause magazine. An intense performer and NY Emmy Award-winning composer, Hodian's intricate rhythms and haunting melodies reflect both his Armenian heritage and his formal classical training, as well as his years as a jazz improviser.
Epiphany's live show features John and Bet with an ever-changing ensemble of musicians from all over the world. At times achingly lyrical, other times intensely energetic, no two shows are alike as the improvisational interplay between musicians transforms the songs night after night.

US Rails with Pete Donnelly
Presented by Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse at Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse
An evening with the US Rails. To listen to samples, visit www.theusrails.com
Echoing some of the great folk, pop and rock unions of the '60s and '70s as well as the newest super-groups and dream bands spanning the globe these days, US Rails emerges as the underdog collective of songwriters, singers and musicians who deliver not just a night of cool songs and great harmony. US Rails leaves you with the kind of lingering memory that you may have experienced hearing some of these bands live for the very first time. It's in the sum of the parts, not the star of the show.
US Rails is five distinctive personalities who met originally while living in and around Philadelphia, PA, but have since scattered all over the map to France, Germany and Austin, TX. Though US Rails has played shows in the United States, they are currently signed to the European label Blue Rose Records. Their first recording, produced in a cottage house just South of Paris, will be released overseas this spring. Most of the members of US Rails were originally part of the Philadelphia group 4 Way Street (Sanctuary Records). Now, reinvented and rejuvenated, they are carrying on the tradition.
Opening will be special guest Pete Donnelly.

A Streetcar Named Desire
Presented by Old Academy Players at Old Academy Players
Quelle saison! We end it with what many critics consider a modern masterpiece. Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski are universally recognized names and their story along with that of Stella and Mitch still simmers and steams like the humid New Orleans summer where it is set. Sensitive, wounded Blanche on the brink of madness collides with basic, brutish Stanley and the fireworks are unavoidable. This is a play that never falters as it moves to its inevitable conclusion. Winner of every stage award of its day, and of numerous Oscar nominations including 3 wins for its stars, it is one not to be missed, but to be seen and re-seen.

The compelling story follows Jules, an African-American painter who has fled the U.S. under ambiguous circumstances and embraced a whole new life and family in Iceland. As Barack Obama’s meteoric presidential campaign makes Jules more homesick than ever, her husband presents their biracial daughter with a shocking present, and a mysterious visitor shows up at Jules’ studio. This whirlwind of events brings the demons of Jules’ past crashing down on her new family and challenges her sense of racial and personal identity.

Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey

Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey
On view from February 3rd-Late Spring 2012
Opening Reception and Artist Talk:
Friday, February 3rd, 6-8 pm
Artist Talk by designer Jurgen Bey begins at 6:30 pm
The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is pleased to present an exhibition by the Dutch design collaborative Studio Makkink & Bey which is led by architect Rianne Makkink (b. 1964) and designer Jurgen Bey (b. 1965)—one of the first Droog Design collaborators. Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey features recent, insightful projects by this Studio such as: “WashHouse” (2010-11), “Soft News” (2009), “Cleaning Beauty Locker” (2007), “Dust Cabinet” (2005), and “Vacuum Cleaner Chair” (2004). Taking inspiration from The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s mission and permanent collection, Studio Makkink & Bey’s FWM exhibition interweaves the soft, ever-changing features of textiles and fashion—as well as the industries that make them—within the often rigid look and function of today’s cities. Through Makkink & Bey’s installed, fictive, city-like landscape of sculptural work and decorative objects, they imagine ways to incorporate community-wide change t hrough a more pliable form of urban planning, one that utilizes a soft method of shaping the world around us. As a result, Soft Village will promote a different approach to sustainable design, highlighting components that are flexible, impermanent, nomadic, and that can be altered easily according to community need.

This exhibition follows the story of book dealer Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach as he hears about the sinking of the Titanic and realizes that his friend and protégé, Harry E. Widener, has gone down with the ship. We’ll learn the details of the tragic event and how, ultimately, Dr. Rosenbach’s personal loss led to professional success as he undertook a project that positioned him to become the greatest rare book dealer of the 20th century—the creation of Harvard’s Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library.

Princeton and the Gothic Revival: 1870–1930
Presented by Princeton University Arts Museum at Princeton University
In the late nineteenth century, when Princeton University—then known as the College of New Jersey—sought to modernize itself as a progressive institution of international stature, it did so in part by adopting a visual language drawn from the past: the Gothic vocabulary of the “ancient universities” of Oxford and Cambridge. Princeton and the Gothic Revival: 1870–1930 explores the Gothic Revival movement in architecture and design across America at the close of the nineteenth century, using Princeton’s campus as a case study and launching point. This exhibition draws from the unique resources of Princeton’s Firestone Library and the University archives, along with the painting and watercolor collections of the Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other institutions, to explore the role Princeton played in the Gothic Revival movement in both architecture and the decorative arts, its motivations, and its meanings in defining a great modern university. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated, scholarly catalogue distributed by the Princeton University Press.

4th Annual Walk for Lupus Now Delaware
Presented by Lupus Foundation of America - Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter at Wilmington Waterfront - Dravo Plaza
Walk for Lupus Now® is the signature event of the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. In more than 65 cities across America, thousands of people walk to make a difference in the lives of those affected by lupus and to raise essential funds for research, education, and support services.
It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans and nearly 5,000 in Delaware have a form of lupus. Lupus is an acute and chronic (lifelong) autoimmune disease in which the immune system is unbalanced, causing inflammation and tissue damage to virtually every organ system in the body. In March 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first treatment for lupus in more than 52 years! This milestone signals that there is hope on the horizon. Even so, we must still continue to address the major gaps that exist in our understanding of the causes and consequences of lupus. It is essential that we have the support of individuals, corporations, foundations and federal, state and local governments so that the 1.5 million Americans with lupus may have hope for the future.
The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. (LFA) is the foremost national nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services, and hope to all people affected by lupus. The Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter is a part of the LFA’s nationwide network of nearly 300 chapters, branches, and support groups.

Crosby, Stills & Nash
Presented by Sands Bethlehem Event Center at Sands Bethlehem Event Center
The music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash is a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll. As Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), this trio of legendary singer-songwriters has been actively collaborating since 1969, when they first harmonized in either Joni Mitchell’s living room or Mama Cass Elliot’s dining room, depending on which member you ask (Crosby and Nash ascribe to the former, Stills is adamant about the latter). Wherever its point of origin, the connection they forged from day one-as artists and as friends-was profound and unbreakable. Essential elements of our pop culture experience, their songs are just as durable, conveying emotional truths and social consciousness in equal measure.
Forty years into their creative partnership, CSN is expanding its recorded repertoire with two album projects, one spotlighting its enduring creative spark, the other its legendary roots. David, Stephen and Graham are currently recording a new album for Columbia Records with ten-time GRAMMY®-winning producer Rick Rubin at the helm. This June, Rhino Records will release Crosby, Stills & Nash Demos, a single-disc collection of rare and previously unheard demos of destined-to-be-classic signature songs reaching back to the group’s earliest days.

The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, and the Girard Trust Company Building are among Furness' surviving buildings.
Furness put his architectural career on hold when the Civil War broke out; his heroism in battle earned him the Medal of Honor. Upon his passing on June 27th, 1912, Furness was buried with his family at Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Also included will be other members of the Furness family who played important roles in Philadelphia’s cultural life throughout the 19th century, such as divisive abolitionist family patriarch William Henry, and renowned Shakespearean scholar Horace. This walking tour and program will be led by Dr. Michael Brooks, author of John Ruskin and Victorian Architecture and Subway City. It will conclude with a toast to Frank Furness, accompanied by refreshments.

Free Self Defense Class in Memory of Sabina Rose O'Donnell
Presented by Urban Defense Center at Urban Defense Center
In memory of Northern Liberties resident Sabina Rose O’Donnell, who was brutally raped and murdered on June 2nd, 2010, a local martial arts studio will offer free self defense classes every Wednesday during the month of June.
Participants will learn basic and advanced self-defense techniques to avoid dangerous situations and to escape from an assailant. They will be able to increase their awareness in Philadelphia neighborhoods. Participants will be encouraged to learn how to be alert, aware, and vigilant to protect themselves, their families, and their community.
Lawrence Whitaker, founder of the Urban Defense Center, says “the life you save may be your own. The self-defense skills you will learn are invaluable. It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.” Whitaker has been teaching martial arts, self defense, and personal protection for over 20 years. The self defense and awareness program stemmed from the need to help stop violence in the community by empowering and informing women and men.
Master Lawrence Whitaker, of Philadelphia, is certified in Restraining Arts by the Institute of Certified Martial Arts and specializes in Personal Protection. Whitaker is an Army Veteran with 6 years of service, and his leadership experience includes training at the US Army Primary Leadership/Development School. With over 20 years of martial arts experience, Master Whitaker founded the Urban Defense Center – School of Martial Science in 1996. Whitaker holds two 6th degree black belts – one in Mongolian Kempo and one in Naphtali, an Israeli martial art, as well as a 2nd degree black belt from the AMEXEM Cultural Art Institute (Institute of African Martial Arts), a 1st degree black belt in Pankration (Greek Martial Arts), and a 1st degree black belt in Taming of the Great Power (African-American Martial Arts).

This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Presented by County Theater at County Theater
This uproarious “mockumentary” about a heavy-metal rock band spoofs every facet of rock ‘n’ roll — from vacuous songwriting and half-baked album promos to pyrotechnic concerts and preening showmanship. Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer are perfect as the British rockers whose tresses and egos outstrip their talent. A wonderfully affectionate satire that turns all the way up to 11!

XPN Welcomes Norah Jones
Presented by Mann Center for the Performing Arts at Mann Center for the Performing Arts
One of the Mann Center's most popular artists—Norah Jones returns to Philadelphia! On the heels of a stand-out performance at the SXSW Music Festival where she debuted songs from her much-anticipated forthcoming album Little Broken Hearts, Norah Jones has revealed the details of her North American summer tour including a stop at The Mann June 28th.
10 years after she first performed at SXSW, Jones made a triumphant return to the festival last week, performing Little Broken Hearts in its entirety in front of an enraptured capacity crowd. The Associated Press praised the new songs, calling them “stylish yet deeply emotional,” adding that “she showed fans a different side” and that the album is “a departure for Jones and another step in her evolution.” USA Today wrote “sometimes sweet and sometimes spooky, the songs, co-written and produced by Danger Mouse on the album, have atmospheric weight performed live also,” and highlighted the “cheery, cutting” lead single “Happy Pills.”
If you are 21 years of age or older and plan to consume alcohol at the concert, please be prepared to present proper I.D. There is no re-entry once exiting the facility.

A Conversation with Jesmyn Ward and Joshua Henkin
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Jesmyn Ward surprised the literary world when she won the 2011 National Book Award for her second novel, Salvage the Bones, a “strikingly beautiful, taut, relentless and, by its end, indelible” book (San Francisco Chronicle) that follows a pregnant teenage girl and her family in the Mississippi coastal backwoods in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina and the immediate aftermath of the storm. A Professor of Creative Writing at the University of South Alabama, Ward received her MFA from the University of Michigan and was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. Her debut novel, Where the Line Bleeds, was an Essence Magazine Book Club selection and the recipient of a Black Caucus of the American Library Association Honor Award.
“A devastating novel about love, hope, delusion, and the intricate ways in which time’s passage raises us up even as it grinds us down,” wrote Michael Cunningham of Matrimony, Joshua Henkin’s 2008 New York Times Notable Book of the Year. The Director of the MFA program in Fiction Writing at Brooklyn College, Henkin is also the author of Swimming Across the Hudson, a Los Angeles Times Notable Book. His short stories have been published in numerous publications, including Ploughshares, The Yale Review, and Boulevard. His new novel, The World Without You follows one family during a July 4th holiday weekend in the Berkshires a year after the youngest sibling, an intrepid journalist, was killed on assignment in Iraq.

Coming to America: The Story of Laurel HIll's Immigrants
Presented by Laurel Hill Cemetery at Laurel Hill Cemetery
America has always been a land of immigrants… So, too, is her first National Historic Landmark Cemetery. Laurel Hill’s original Superintendent, Thomas Drinnan – the person to first break cemetery ground – was himself an Irish immigrant. Many of the illustrious Philadelphians who would later make Laurel Hill their final place of rest were not native to the city. Henry Disston, whose name graces the largest of the cemetery’s mausolea, immigrated while still an impoverished child from England before building his Saw Works fortune. Over the past 175 years, Laurel Hill has come to bear the remains of men and women from races, creeds and countries around the world, with some of our most recent burials including immigrants from Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Laurel Hill’s founding mission as a nonsectarian retreat of peace and splendor echoes the American promise of opportunity and equality that continues to beckon immigrants to our shores.
As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we honor those individuals whose life stories reflect that promise – proud of their native lands, but choosing American soil as their final homes. This walking tour will be led by history buff, financial advisor and young Armenian-American, Paul Sookiasian. It will conclude with 4th of July refreshments, beer and hot dog roasting.

Skatalites
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Jamaica’s Seminal Ska band The Skatalites formed as studio musicians in the early '60s, backing the likes of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Toots & The Maytals and Prince Buster. Although originally disbanded in 1965, they climbed the UK music charts with their rendition of the movie theme “The Guns of Navarone.” Ska since evolved into Rock-Steady and ultimately Reggae which branched into Dub and Two-Tone. The Skatalites reunited in 1983 with a revitalized lineup staking their claim to the music which became popular with bands like The Police, Clash, Specials, Madness and English Beat.

Minas
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Orlando Haddad and Patricia King formed Minas in 1978 at North Carolina School of the Arts to bring Brazilian music to stateside audiences. They proceeded to play all over the eastern US before going back to their musical roots in Brazil, where they entertained, traveled extensively and recorded their first album, Num Dia Azul.
Today Minas is one of the most sought after Brazilian bands in the United States. Minas is built upon the duo's multiple talents as vocalists, instrumentalists and composers with an impressive grasp of the whole range of Brazilian musical idioms. At the core of any Minas show are the voices of the duo, which reflect two decades of vocal and instrumental blending. Warm and engaging, this magical sound becomes infectious when Minas adds bass, drums, percussion and horns to Orlando's guitar and Patricia's keyboards. One can experience Minas in a variety of formats, intimately, as a duo or trio, and in exciting venues with larger ensembles up to orchestra and Big Band arrangements.

US Rails with Sterling Koch Band
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Their latest album, Southern Canon, is a formidable testament to how tightly knit Ben Arnold, Tom Gillam, Joseph Parsons, Scott Bricklin and Matt Muir have become as a band. They produce some of the finest driving rock ‘n’ roll and folk rock and around.
The album’s dynamic opener, Scott Bricklin’s "Heart Don’t Lie," is a standout track , and his power ballad "Carry Your Weight" has all the potential in the world to become a hit. Tom Gillam’s "Same Old You (Same Old Me)" reminds us once again of Joe Walsh’s qualities while the closing, piano and guitar-based ballad "Old Song On The Radio" delivers the most beautiful Eagles-type harmonies.
Formerly members of the beloved Philly group, 4-Way Street, US Rails brings the whole package – vocals, harmonies, musicianship, and songwriting.
Opening the night will be Schuykill County’s own Sterling Koch Band, (listen here) adding their formidable brand of blues rock to a phenomenal night of music.

Bye Bye Birdie
Presented by Footlighters Theater at Footlighters Theater
BYE BYE BIRDIE is one of the most captivating musical shows of our time.
It tells the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer, Conrad Birdie, an Elvis Presley type, has a pompadour and thick sideburns; he wears gaudy gold costumes and speaks in a rugged voice. Albert Peterson, his agent, is a very pleasant mild mannered young man. Albert’s faithful secretary Rose Alvarez keeps him and Birdie moving forward in the world. Rosie concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad’s induction. Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss. Fifteen year old Kim MacAfee in Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor.
The arrival of Birdie in Sweet Apple causes people of all ages to swoon. It is decided that Birdie will give his One Last Kiss on the Ed Sullivan show. Kim’s father who laments the whole uproar, tries to break into the act and behaves like a ham on the TV show. Birdie becomes disgusted with his life and goes out on the town with the teenagers. He feels tense with Albert and is tired of being supervised. The parents of Sweet Apple cannot understand the new generation. Kim is reunited with Hugo, and Rose with Albert by the end of the show.

Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play
Presented by Pub Theater Company at Downey's Restaurant
Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play is a fun, fast-paced romp which takes a satirical look at the pratfalls and pitfalls of the drinking culture. The show began in Chicago in 2006 and after opening shows all over the midwest and Canada, Bye Bye Liver is proud to make its east coast debut in Philadelphia.
Whether it's the girl we all know that should never, ever drink liquor, the guy who won’t stop drunk dialing his ex-girlfriend, or the self-inflated bouncer who thinks he's protecting the Gates of Nirvana, it's all here and it's all hilariously celebrated in Bye Bye Liver.
And to liven things up even further, throughout the show the cast plays everyone's favorite social games with the audience...whether it's Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, or even their own version of Match Maker. It's a wonderful time to see the audience engaged in interactive games pitting men versus women or the cast versus the audience.
Join this ensemble of some of Philadelphia’s finest sketch comedy actors in the show experience that mixes two famous Philadelphia traditions: comedy and drinking. Bye Bye Liver will also feature $10 buckets of Bud Lite and Miller Lite.

Potting in Place - Clay Making Intensive Workshop
Presented by Events at Cheltenham Center for the Arts
Pennsylvania is not only a rich and vibrant place for ceramic artists and clay culture, but is also the source of some rich clay deposits that allow you to create 100% handmade work!
Willi Singleton is a knowledgeable advocate of locavore artistry, and offers this workshop in which students will connect clay and glaze making with the local environment – learning to make pots from materials harvested in and near Berks County.
June 9th: Class will meet at Pine Creek Pottery in Kempton.
Students will spend the day on Hawk mountain digging and processing native clays. Singleton teaches where and why clay deposits are made in nature, how to dig, slake, and sieve raw clay into a plastic and malleable clay body. The second half of the day focuses on how to make glazes out of local supplies of wood and bamboo ash, the source of which grows on site.
June 16th, 23rd, and 30th: Class will meet at Cheltenham Center for the Arts in Cheltenham.
Students will receive 25 lbs of the aged version of Hawk Mountain Clay, in addition to a supply of Stancills Clay from Stancills Clay Mine in Maryland. They will have the option to purchase additional clay if they require more. The remainder of the class will be dedicated to open studio time to experiment with the local clays through hand-building and/or throwing on the wheel. On the final day of class, students will use the local glaze ingredients processed on day one of the workshop to glaze their bisqued work.
Students must be self-directed in their knowledge of throwing or hand building techniques, as the goal of the class is to become familiar with the method of making and working with local clay bodies.

XPN Welcomes US Rails
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Echoing some of the great folk, pop and rock unions of the '60s and '70s as well as the newest super-groups and dream bands spanning the globe these days, US Rails emerges as the underdog collective of songwriters, singers and musicians who deliver not just a night of cool songs and great harmony. US Rails leaves you with the kind of lingering memory that you may have experienced hearing some of these bands live for the very first time.
It's in the sum of the parts, not the star of the show. US Rails is five distinctive personalities who met originally while living in and around Philadelphia, PA, but have since scattered all over the map to France, Germany and Austin, TX. Most of the members of US Rails were originally part of the Philadelphia group 4 Way Street (Sanctuary Records). Now, reinvented and rejuvenated, they are carrying on the tradition.

Milk Drunk and Down and Out the Rabbit Hole
Presented by Pentimenti Gallery at Pentimenti Gallery
Pentimenti is pleased to present two solo exhibitions of mixed media work and installation by Jacque Liu and synthetic landscapes by Shane McAdams.
Jacque Liu works with a variety of materials to explore an idea of memory and his personal history. Liu has found that memory is an important aspect in his life, which inspired the desire to comprehend the concept of place. Liu allows himself to react to the installation site and objects before him focusing on the architectural elements such as windows, vents, and doors. Within his work he highlights the microcosms of the installation site or object to bring it new life. Liu's process is reactionary, but he tries to re-establish a piece of history (imagined or encountered) with the object or environment at hand. His installation, Milk drunk, will include works hanging from the ceiling and off the walls that will give the viewer an insight into Liu's personal amalgamation of memory and object.
Shane McAdams’ work shows a contemporary view of landscape as a subject using ballpoint pen, oil and resin. His inspiration is derived from the topography of the American southwest, where he grew up. McAdams was influenced by the way the layered strata in the rocks formed as a result of erosion with wind and water. Within his work he examines dualisms of natural vs. man-made, temporal and spatial, and objective vs. subjective and is concerned with how society views the idea of landscape. Shane compares his working process with the natural creation of a landscape using non-traditional application of materials. Through his work, he hopes to express the symmetry of actual and artificial by representing both through order and beauty. Shane's installation, Down and Out the Rabbit Hole, will show an in-depth view of representation versus abstraction of the southwest landscape with his work.

An evening with Caleb Spaulding, Matt Borrello, and Jarrod Dickenson. A special triple feature.
Caleb Spaulding is a singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist (guitar, harmonica, mandolin and banjo). Along with vocalist Carolyn Tapper, they will be playing in support of Spauldings freshman release This Side Of The Great Divide. The two weave a tapestry of harmonies while singing lyrics with insight beyond their collective years. To listen to samples, visit www.reverbnation.com/calebspaulding
Matt Borrello is a singer-songwriter from Southeastern Massachusetts. For five years Matt has performed regularly in the Boston/Providence area, usually as a solo acoustic act, but also as a sideman for other songwriters and as the leader of his band, the Quality Dogs. His songs draw their structures from folk, country, blues, and rock music. Matt writes from a personal perspective, but his songs are markedly devoid of the boring self-pity that plagues the repertoires of many acoustic balladeers. He has several protest songs and no breakup songs. Matt's insightful lyrics and passionate performances have earned him recognition in various New England talent showcases and songwriting contests, most notably at the Boston Folk Festival Youth Songwriting Contest.

Texas-born songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson's slightly spooky melodies and lyrics invoke a mid-Western post-war America, when cars ran on leaded gas, television hadn't yet kidnapped the country's imagination, and men wore hats every day. His reflective lyrics, almost like hand-written letters, remind us that human stories of lost love, sudden fortune, and abiding mystery transcend the decades...and nothing is better or worse right now than it's ever been. Jarrod's upcoming 2012 release, The Lonesome Traveler, was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with 3-time Grammy winner, Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Aimee Mann, Lisa Hannigan, Joe Henry, Aaron Neville, etc.), and features an incredible cast of musicians, including Greg Leisz, David Piltch, Sebastian Aymmans and Jebin Bruni. Jarrod spends most of his time on the road touring throughout the United States and UK, and is quickly, and not-so-quietly taking the folk music world by storm. Stay tuned for more exciting news, and be sure to check the calendar to see when Jarrod is playing near you.

Angels In America, Part 1: Millennium Approaches
Presented by The Wilma Theater at The Wilma Theater
The most honored play in a generation concludes the Wilma’s 2011/2012 Season – and then returns for the 20th Anniversary of Part Two: Perestroika to kick off 2012/2013. Winner of two Tony® Awards for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize, Angels in America melds love, hate, religion, and politics into a uniquely American epic. The year is 1985. In New York City, Roy Cohn, the politically powerful right-wing lawyer angrily denies his diagnosis of AIDS while his protégé – a court clerk and Republican Mormon – struggles with a Valium-addicted wife. Simultaneously, an abandoned yet spirited gay man begins to hear messages from a supernatural being that build to an exhilarating conclusion.

Hazard County
Presented by Azuka Theatre at First Baptist Church of Philadelphia
When a young producer stumbles into town looking for stories and a fresh start, he believes he's found both in Ruth. Her made-for-TV tale captures his attention – a broke young woman in a rural Kentucky town, unable to access the trust fund set up for her children after her husband's murder. But neither of them has told the other the whole truth, and a past tainted by racism threatens to destroy Ruth's already shaky existence. This story is interspersed with memorable monologues from fans and critics of The Dukes of Hazzard, who blow apart the Southern stereotypes that tend to define Ruth's world.

Have Gags Will Travel: The Life and Times of a New York Cartoonist
Presented by James A. Michener Art Museum - Doylestown at James A. Michener Art Museum - Doylestown
The Michener Art Museum will take a close look at that path in Have Gags Will Travel: The Life and Times of a New York Cartoonist, on view in the Pfundt Gallery. This exhibit is sponsored by Mary Lou and Andrew Abruzzese, The Pineville Tavern. From The New Yorker to Boys’ Life, from lurid detective magazines to church quarterlies, the “gag” has become such a staple of American life that we rarely notice the skills that go into making them. Sylvia Getsler (1926-2009) was a rarity in the cartooning world—a highly successful female gag artist whose work was published in the Saturday Evening Post, Playboy, True Detective, McCall’s, and Ladies Home Journal. Getsler made hundreds of these gags that were published around the world, but her heart was in the wit and innocence of children. This exhibit focuses on her beautifully drawn gags of kids—kids who want to understand grown-ups but maybe never be one, kids who are wise beyond their years but constantly befuddled by the strange rituals of adulthood. “Although I treasure the memory of my mother telling me that I was sometimes her inspiration for these gags, the truth is that her own independent thinking and incredible wit made this work her most successful series,” says Cohen.

Bernard Allison & Moreland & Arbuckle
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Bernard Allison totes the same smokin’ six string shooter his late father Luther Allison assaulted the blues with and is blessed with his father’s soulful voice and spiritual devotion. The Chicago-born Bernard played lead for Koko Taylor’s Blues Machine and was in his father’s band, although he’s definitely blazing his own path with a style that reflects a unique mix of traditional and modern influences.
Guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle spent nearly a decade exploring the edges of American roots forging a relentless and haunting sound that merges Delta blues, folk, rock, traditional country and soul. They hit the road with ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and Eric Johnson, including a sold out show right here in Sellersville!

Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Acoustic folk-rock songwriters Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus will celebrate the release of Ray of Hope in their present hometown of Austin, Texas, before embarking on a month long tour including an official showcase at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis, Tennesee, and a journey to their first hometown, Baltimore. Backed by a wall of solid harmonies woven throughout with fiddle, mandolin, and acoustic guitar, Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus passionately perform Ray of Hope's eleven songs, songs which dive deep into characters whose lives haven't worked out as planned.
Raised in Baltimore, Jim Patton paints with symbolism in the poetry of his lyrics. His songs tell common stories: the man who keeps getting back up after being knocked down; the woman who loses everything she cares about; a couple celebrating thirty years of marriage; people who discover an alternate definition of success; relationships that end and relationships that endure, as in his long term marriage with wife and singing partner, Sherry. Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus have played together for over twenty-five years. Tight harmonies have emerged along with a quick understanding of each other's nuances, patterns which create an easy feel to their songs, rhythms and rhymes. Come out and enjoy their show.

Canonized, marginalized or just scrutinized, she has given up trying to explain herself. After 20+ years in an industry that has called her everything from avant garde to a dying breed, what unquestionably remains is the fearsome bassist, prolific songwriter and the creativity and curiosity of an authentic musical force. With that, she has earned critical acclaim, the unfailing respect of fellow players, songwriters and composers, and the dedication of her diverse, unclassifiable fans.

Sierra Hull and Highway 111
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Never mind that Boston’s renowned Berklee School of Music bestowed on Sierra Hull the school’s Presidential Award and its first-ever to a bluegrass musician. You hear virtuosity here quickly, but there’s a maturity to her music that clearly transcends age.
What you hear on her new release Daybreak is one of bluegrass’s few full-fledged virtuosic instrumentalist/singer/songwriters, and one who’s gracefully grown into her gifts. While her mandolin playing has always possessed clarity and fleet-fingered precision, here she attacks her solos with newfound spontaneity and depth of feeling. Her singing—always straight and true—has more heartfelt power behind it, and it does her songs justice.
Matt Glaser—head of Berklee’s American Roots Music Program—put it this way: “She has no limitations as a musician.” Daybreak is certainly a noteworthy arrival; though you can’t help but feel it’s also just the beginning.

Feeding Your Muse at Reading Terminal Market
Presented by First Person Arts at First Person Arts
This three-part workshop will use improvisational and reflective techniques to tackle one of writing's biggest challenges – how to sustain a steady stream of raw material for your stories.
Despite being exposed to a sea of seemingly infinite stimuli – sights, sounds, tastes, smells, thoughts, and ideas – every day, how often do we sit down with pen in hand but nothing to say? It's not enough to simply be exposed to the world if we hope to craft compelling personal stories. We need to engage with our experiences, first by looking out and then by turning in to reflect on what we've seen. That's exactly what we will do, in miniature, in this workshop.
We'll start at the First Person Arts office, where we'll use tools from improv comedy to help us notice the world around us, move beyond our preconceived judgments about what things are or could be, and ultimately find a way to use any and everything as source material.
In part two, we'll take these tools on a field trip to nearby Reading Terminal Market, where your mission will be to experience one of the liveliest scenes in Philadelphia in a new way, a way that inspires original story ideas. Experiential excursion complete, we'll return to the FPA office for reflective discussion and writing that will help encode your ideas deep in your memory, where they'll sit ready for retrieval at your next writing session.
This workshop is aimed at anyone who feels called to write but sometimes struggles with what to say. We'll learn ways of seeing and being in the world that will keep your muse happily fed and always ready to dispense writing inspiration. Participants can expect to walk away from this workshop with reflective writing practices and versatile tools from improv that can be used to amplify the story—capturing the potential of virtually any activity.

Of, To, and From Ray Yoshida
Presented by Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)
Ray Yoshida (1930-2009) had a profound effect on two generations of artists in and beyond Chicago. His dazzling comics-inspired imagery no less than his eclectic taste as a collector provided inspiration for artists ranging from Jim Nutt to Chris Ware. Born in Hawaii but based for most of his life in Chicago, Yoshida studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1950-54 and then taught there from 1959 through 2005. A visionary teacher, Yoshida put his ideas into practice through a series of groundbreaking collages he started in 1968 called “comic book specimens.” In these works Yoshida perversely mined image types from comics, arranging endless, irregular rows of uniformed torsos discreetly missing limbs and heads, or with those appendages replaced by phantom hands and feet or outsized arms. This work fed into his paintings and the resulting transformations evolved into a startling new vocabulary of the body and its vibrant surroundings.

"These paintings are a result of a tension to surpass a mere visual notation. What I find fascinating is not only the form and the color of objects but also the quieter nuances of their elemental aspects.
There story is revealed in this way. Appearances that evoke a need to preserve a moment become a kind of transitional reality, ie., the real and the not real."

The Future and Beginners - The Artist as a Filmmaker
Presented by Philadelphia Film Society at Gershman Y
Miranda July began her career creating a combination of film and recordings into live art, which earned her almost immediate success. She has gone on to make two feature films, Me And You And Everyone We Know, which won the Best First Director Award in the 2005 Philadelphia Film Festival; and The Future, which stemmed from an early performance piece staged by July.
Mike Mills is a graphic designer and artist who incorporates both his illustrations and personal experiences when shifting into the filmmaking process. His film The Beginners is an autobiographical story which includes still-image montages that peek into the brain of the main character Oliver, modeled after the director himself.
The Philadelphia Film Society and the University of the Arts present The Artist as a Filmmaker, a monthly series highlighting world-renowned directors whose careers transitioned from visual artistry to filmmaking. The monthly program expands the Philadelphia Film Festival’s ‘Masters of Cinema’ sidebar, educating audiences on the collaboration of multiple art forms, while celebrating the introductory year of the University of the Arts’ School of Film in 2012.
To preserve the onscreen experience, the showcase will aim to present a majority of films on 35mm prints.

Summer Classics Seminar: The Apartment
Presented by Bryn Mawr Film Institute at Bryn Mawr Film Institute
Have you wanted to take a film class at Bryn Mawr Film Institute but couldn't commit to multiple sessions? Are you interested in learning more about a particular classic film? Do you want an entertaining, engaging, and comfortable way to spend a hot summer evening?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, then our Summer Classics Seminars are for you. This one focuses on The Apartment, the sardonic tale of isolation and infidelity that strikes, in the words of Roger Ebert, "a precise balance between farce and sadness". It was co-written and directed by Billy Wilder, and stars Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray.
Just like the regular courses, each class will offer students a reading about the film, an introductory lecture before the film, and a guided discussion after the film. In addition, your ticket to see the film on the big screen, as well as popcorn and a drink, are included.
This seminar is sponsored in honor of philosopher, educator, author, and filmmaker Jose Ferrater-Mora.

Echoes Welcomes Adrian Legg
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Since the 1990 release of his first U.S. recording Guitars and Other Cathedrals, Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the expectations stirred by an ongoing avalanche of praise from critics, fans, top guitar magazines and peers alike. He’s been named “Best Fingerstyle Guitarist” four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine and also had top albums according to Guitar Player in its annual readers’ polls. In his electro-acoustic quest, Legg finds the holy guitar grail melding tone, technique and technology.

Master Yoga Class: Let Freedom Ring! Taught by Beth Filla of Yogawood
Presented by Wake Up Yoga at Wake Up Yoga Fairmount
In this month when we celebrate our country's freedom, find new ways to have your practice become your path to liberation in life, or jivamukti. In the Varaha Upanishad, the jivan-mukti is described as one "...from whom the world does not recoil and who does not recoil from the world, who is released from thrill-seeking, impatience, and fear."
We get there through conscious kindness, vigorous physical practice, intense focus, and surrender to the divine, joyful vibration within. In these three hours, we'll clarify intention, work up some heat, find what holds us back—and not recoil. Expect to chant, move, sweat, laugh, and marvel at the wonder of what your body and soul have known all along.

A Conversatin with Chris Cleave, Author of Gold
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Chris Cleave’s debut novel, Incendiary—in which a grieving mother pens a raw, pleading letter to Osama bin Laden in the wake of a London terrorist attack—received a 2006 Somerset Maugham Award and was adapted into a film starring Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor. The book gained notoriety for the macabre coincidence of its publication in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2005—the day of the London terrorist bombings.
Cleave’s second novel, Little Bee—an “astonishing, flawless novel” (Library Journal)—was a no. 1 New York Times bestseller that braided the fates of a Nigerian orphan and a wealthy British couple and examined the lack of compassion in the world of refugees. In Gold, the messily intertwined stories of three world-class British cyclists unfold during the final push for an Olympic medal.

The Jolly What!
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Newark, Delaware’s The Jolly What! was formed in 2007, when reclusive songwriter Mark Degz began using an old Ouija Board to compose hundreds of guitar chord progressions and melodies. This technique gave birth to two full length albums Life Is My Favorite Sport (Vanstock, 2009) and So, You Wanna Be A Quitter? (Vanstock, 2011). After watching the rockumentary Dig! about 900 times, Degz was finally inspired to busk his catchy brand of occult dream pop across the country to southern California in 2010. Now a four-piece band, The Jolly What! has been drawing comparisons to Blur, Pinkerton-era Weezer, and The Libertines, although Degz prefers to describe the sound as "watercolor paints and grain alcohol amplified."

Red Horse: Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky
Presented by Mauch Chunk Opera House at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky come together as a collaborative project from three of the most revered songwriters in folk music. Inspiring and paving the road for countless musicians and songwriters on the road today, having these three talents converge is a folk fan’s dream.
Sparse instrumentation allows these three distinctive voices to carry the magic of music that is awash in great harmonies and songwriting. Each of these legendary singer/songwriters solos on classics first made famous by the other two members. Lucy gives a haunting performance of Eliza’s Sanctuary, John takes the lead on Lucy’s "Don’t Mind Me" while Eliza performs John’s "Forget to Breathe," which has never been released on Red House before.
Their 2010 album, Red Horse, showcases new material from all three, and features covers they have never before recorded as well as revisiting and rearranging a couple of early classics.
Experience three veteran songwriters and good friends coming together to make music. Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, and Lucy Kaplansky give us a collection of songs that solidifies their place as three of folk music’s great songwriters.

The Killing (1956)
Presented by County Theater at County Theater
Sterling Hayden plays a veteran criminal planning one last big heist – a racetrack robbery – before settling down to a respectable marriage. He puts together a team of colorful small-timers who also crave a big score. The Killing is one of the best late noirs – hard-boiled, gritty and photographed with a documentary like immediacy. This was director Stanley Kubrick’s first major film effort and it’s a real revelation.

Jun Kaneko
Presented by Locks Gallery at Locks Gallery
Locks Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of ceramic and bronze sculptures, and paintings by Jun Kaneko. The exhibit will feature 15 new and recent works from his ongoing dango series—the artist’s signature sculpture. These rounded forms are each unique in profile, surface design and coloring. The works for this exhibit specifically reference the human body or face, and Locks will exhibit a pair of his bronze heads for the first time. The art critic Arthur Danto has called the dangos Kaneko’s “gentle giants”; their benign presence belies their heft and solidness.

Ellen Harvey: Arcade/Arcadia
Presented by Locks Gallery at Locks Gallery
Ellen Harvey is known for her use of traditional media or aesthetics to create situations that call into question our expectations and desires for art. In Arcade/Arcadia (2011–12) an amusement arcade collides with a gallery to create an unsettling embodiment of how easily the desire for the sublime can collapse into an acceptance of commercial spectacle. From the outside, the viewer sees an old-fashioned aluminum fairground sign spelling out the word “ARCADIA” in six-foot high lights leaning against an open framework wood shack. The inside of the structure is filled with the artist’s characteristic hand-engraved mirrors mounted on light boxes, offering a 360-degree view of a derelict seaside resort. The engravings appear as lines of light floating on the mirrored surfaces and viewers see themselves inside an endlessly mirrored drawing in light.

Peanut Butter and Jams Welcomes Lunch Money
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Lunch Money brings the indie-rock experience to family audiences with an energetic salute to the stuff of childhood: roller coasters, giant cookies and getting dizzy. This trio "artfully treads the line between alt-kids and just plain alternative" [Nick Jr. Family Magazine] and this year their song "It Only Takes One Night to Make a Balloon Your Friend" topped the charts on XM/Sirius children's radio. The band delivers a high-energy show that aims to get children and their parents dancing, thinking and laughing.
Lunch Money began in 2003 when singer/guitarist Molly Ledford (The Verna Cannon - Cargo/Headhunter) decided to try her hand at bringing the live music experience to young audiences. She enlisted fellow Verna Cannon bandmate Jay Barry (drums) and multi-instrumentalist J.P. Stephens (bass, mandolin, harmonica) to form Lunch Money, the name chosen to honor that first taste of childhood independence and power. Focusing her writing, which had been described as "full of memories left in a shoebox in the dusty corners of your brain" (Spin.com), on the stuff of childhood, Molly soon accumulated a new catalog of songs about such things as wishing for a pet dog, getting up the nerve to ride a roller coaster, and twirling around in rain and sun beneath an umbrella.

"Created using broom handle cigar box banjo, dobro, bass drum, hi-hat and harmonica, the music of Lucy & Wayne and The Amairican Stream by US duo Hymn For Her, proves categorically that you don’t need a megabuck budget to create some high-end kick-ass boogie. Recorded in the classic sixteen-foot 1961 Bambi Airstream trailer (caravan) that they call home, it’s an impossible-to-categorise and unforgettable sonic wall of banjo-thrash-country-rock-acid-blues of the sort that you could imagine Jack White having on his iPod." — December 2010 issue of UK’s R2 (Rock ‘n’ Reel) magazine

Pirate/Splash Day for Kids
Presented by Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation at Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation
Bring your swimsuit and old shoes because wet is the theme for this special day at the Plantation. Pirates will attack the farm house. Youngsters will be encouraged to run the maze and the gauntlet while being sprayed with water. There will be foot races, face painting, rubber ducky races in the creek and and a water balloon toss. Use your feet to wash clothes and bob for apples with your toes. Throw a wet sponge at a captured pirate.
The day starts at Noon and the pirates will invade at 12:30 pm. They will control the farm (and help with the games) until they are repulsed by the local militia at 3:45 pm.
Bring the family and enjoy old fashioned fun that has nothing to do with technology; just nature, water, and your imagination.

Michael Boudewyns presents Once Upon a Time
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
You’re invited to Once Upon A Time: a vaudeville-inspired, playfully presented, plucky performance of picture books, performed by Michael Boudewyns; actor, storyteller, fan of Butser Keaton and Harold Lloyd, but most of all, an avid reader and life-long lover of kids books. For 15 years, Michael’s solo storytelling has been a hit. The Philadelphia Inquirer calls him “a great storyteller,” and praises his signature style: “…simplicity as a form of genius.”
As a member of Really Inventive Stuff, he co-creates fully staged presentations of classic stories and performs them with theatres, schools, libraries and orchestras around the country. Michael has been a frequent guest artist with the Philadelphia Orchestra’s popular Family Concerts, presenting vaudeville-inspired performances of works such as Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, Poulenc’s The Story of Babar, George Kleinsinger’s Tubby the Tuba and Robert Kapilow’s Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham. We’re thrilled to welcome Michael to the Colonial for the first time!

A Conversation with Michael Vitez
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Matthew Miller had just pedaled up a mountain pass. He was 20, a member of the University of Virginia triathlon club. He was on top of the world: in love, with dreams of attending medical school. Then, cycling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, tragedy struck. The real story is not what happened, but what happened after.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Philadelphia Inquirer journalist Michael Vitez shares with you the incredible, humbling, miraculous story of Matt’s survival and recovery in his new book, The Road Back. It is a story of grace and grit, and of an America that shines – families, community, individuals and institutions. The story is as gripping as it is inspiring.

Died at Sea, Lost at Sea, Buried at Sea: Part II
Presented by Laurel Hill Cemetery at Laurel Hill Cemetery
Died at sea, lost at sea, buried at sea… These words inscribed on a grave marker tell us that there is some tragic, perhaps mysterious, story or event associated with that individual’s connection to the world’s deep blue expanse. Laurel Hill has many examples that illustrate this phenomenon. The second installation of this program will delve into and expose many more of the circumstances that lie beneath many a-watery grave. Close your eyes for a moment on this sultry evening at Laurel Hill, and the scent of salt air, the echoes of ocean waves, may carry by us on the reminiscent winds of summers past. This lecture and walking tour will be led by Professor Emeritus and Resident Folklorist at Widener University, Dr. J. Joseph Edgette. It will conclude with wine and refreshments.

Woody Pines with Magnifus
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Crackerjack musicianship goes a long way toward a band’s greatness but showmanship seals the deal. On stage, Woody Pines is an old soul and natural performer, storied and steeped in the best of American music. His group infuses a hundred years of American music into their live performance—everything from early 20th century acoustic blues and rockabilly to the sounds of the White Stripes and The Black Keys. They'll even drop some hip-hop vibes in the mix. It's a fast-paced, swinging, high-energy show.
The band includes Zack Pozebanchuck on upright bass, Lyon Graulty on clarinet, lead guitar and vocal harmonies, Mike Gray on drums and Woody on guitar, harmonica and vocals. They create a Halloween hootenanny that could have come straight out of a time-traveling vaudeville show. Their song "Counting Alligators" puts listeners straight into the backseat of a convertible with Doctor John and Professor Longhair, whipping around the back roads of the Delta on a crisp, autumn night. Their songs "Nashville" and "Delta Bound" evoke Southern gossip or a post-Civil War America where the blues weren't just a style of music, but a way of life. "We pick and choose the best sounding music in the world and sing our own words and put our hearts and souls into that backdrop," says Pines, thus creating a truly unique and infectious style never heard before.

Dazed and Confused
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
“…The film is about throwaway moments: It orbits around a story that ends in nothing more consequential than some friends heading off for Aerosmith tickets. Dazed And Confused‘s enduring cult-classic status speaks to how simply and perfectly it evokes the last day of school in small-town Texas in 1976, not how it appeases the narrative gods.
…but even for the sober, it’s a contact high, because it offers a world that’s easy and pleasant to inhabit without the taxing goal of, say, making it to White Castle.
Linklater has always insisted that Dazed And Confused is about painful memories, which is visible in the characters’ interactions with authority figures, the cruel hazing rituals forced on incoming freshman, and the general uncertainty of growing up. Everyone in the film—from the quarterback (Jason London) forced to conform to others’ expectations to a timid 8th grader (Wiley Wiggins) facing a scary transition to a fun-loving deadbeat (Matthew McConaughey) still chasing high-school tail—has reason to despair. It’s a tribute to Linklater’s generous spirit that he can still laugh about it.” (Scott Tobias, The A.V. Club)
Directed by Richard Linklater. US. 1993. R. 102 min. Universal. 35mm.

Jill Sobule
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Best known for her MTV hit “I Kissed A Girl,” Jill Sobule‘s live concert is a rare treat as she entertains, amuses, provokes and takes her audiences on an emotional roller coaster from comedy to pathos in a few bars of music. Jill released several albums over a decade plus served as songwriter/composer for Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous,” composed music for the off-Broadway show “Prozak and the Platypus” and her hit song “Supermodel” made the “Clueless” soundtrack.
"Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little poignant...grown-up music for an adolescent age.” - New York Times
“Vocally gifted and lyrically witty...a peerless satirist.” - People Magazine

Smarter Living: The 2,000-Watt Society
Presented by Philadelphia Center for Architecture at Philadelphia Center for Architecture
A person needs 17,500 kilowatt-hours a year on global average, corresponding to a continuous requirement of 2,000 watts. In Switzerland, the figure is three times higher, i.e., 6,000 watts per person, and in the U.S. the figure is currently approximately 6 times higher. The Smarter Living: The 2,000-Watt Society exhibition shows how the requirements of the 2,000-watt society can be combined with outstanding architecture. It uses 18 examples to illustrate different approaches to sustainable architecture such as complex technical solutions and clever references to traditional construction methods, small buildings and very large projects, conversions and new city districts.
This exhibition is made possible by Swissnex (Consulate of Switzerland), Cleantech Switzerland, Stadt Zurich, Novatlantis, the Embassy of Switzerland in the United States, Presence Switzerland, State Secretariat for Education and Research, and the Philadelphia Center for Architecture.

University of Pennsylvania STARTALK Urdu Summer Program for High School Students
Presented by University of Pennsylvania STARTALK Program
The University of Pennsylvania's Startalk Intensive Urdu Summer Language Program is part of a national effort to enhance Americans’ learning of less commonly taught languages in schools. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and is one of the most critical languages for understanding the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. It is an Indo-European language with influences from Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, and Turkish.
P
enn's STARTALK Urdu program will take place from June 29th-July 20th 2012. Prior knowledge or exposure to the language is not a prerequisite for this program. The program has seats for 12 students. Students will benefit from instruction by highly distinguished Penn faculty members who are leading experts in their fields. A standards-based curriculum, high quality learning materials, and a range of activities and projects are employed to maximize students' acquisition of Urdu linguistic skills as well as gain familiarity with the cultural knowledge needed to successfully engage in meaningful interactions.
Students with a love of languages and foreign cultures will find the immersive environment ideal to their studies, and the cultural background to the program provides students with interests in religion, South Asian history and politics, and art and music areas where they can apply their language skills. This will also be an excellent opportunity for students to receive an embedded experience of campus life at the University of Pennsylvania.
It will also help demonstrate wide interests on their college applications and resumes, and enable them to compete more effectively for jobs and other opportunities in an increasingly global world. Fluency in Urdu is a highly desirable skill for students interested in pursuing careers in government in the army or politics, such as a UN translator, South Asian art and music, IT, nonprofits, or at a global company, such as an international law firm.

Presented by Kennett Flash at Kennett Flash

The success of his breakthrough hit, a cover version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," solidified him as one of the most important performers around today. We are pleased to have Gaines return to the Kennett Flash for a special, intimate CD release show.

Jeni & Billy
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Jeni comes by her mournful, lonesome voice honestly. Born in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia, her singing has been compared to that of Mother Maybelle Carter and Hazel Dickens. A born storyteller, she has been a writer almost since she could put pen to paper, a vocation inherited from her journalist father and grandfather. Jeni honed her powers of observation and turn of phrase as a student of Pulitzer Prize-winning Northern Irish poet (and sometime rock lyricist). Paul Muldoon, with his typical brevity, called Jeni & Billy's 2006 EP Sweet & Toxic "Great Stuff!!!"
Billy comes to the duo with a long history of music-making. He has been everywhere from Germany to the Grand Ole Opry playing his guitar and singing. A Baltimore native, he was introduced to the world of country music through the fateful movie house experience of seeing Bonnie & Clyde. He loved the music of Flatt & Scruggs so much he went back just to listen fourteen times. He has played numerous bluegrass festivals sharing stages with Jim & Jesse and Jimmy Martin. Billy has also performed solo at nationally known venues such as the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, the Lonestar Cafe in New York, the Kennedy Center and the Birchmere, opening for Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Kathy Mattea, Janis Ian, and Joe Ely among others. He has leant his talents to the shows of many folk luminaries including Oscar Brand, Christine Lavin, and Tom Paxton, as well as producing and touring with Debi Smith.
Together, Jeni & Billy will draw you into captivating narratives of heartache and hard living, of true life blues and unexpected grace. Images of coal & crowns, trash & trailers, and glass and gasoline recur, and Jesus and the Great Speckled Bird are never far off.

Andrea Modica: Best Friends
Presented by Gallery 339 at Gallery 339
With her recent series Best Friends, Andrea Modica took her 8x10 camera into high schools in the US and Italy for a compelling group of photographs of young men and women. The project began as individual portraits, but it quickly developed into photographs of two students together. As several of the subjects arrived for their appointment with a companion, Modica readily saw that the two friends offered something much more interesting than the single figure. The interaction between the friends, the physical and fashion similarities/contrasts, and the way the students reacted to Modica provided an opportunity to look at friendship and sense of self among adolescents today, as well as how they differ between countries. Capitalizing on the slow, interactive nature of 8x10 portraiture, Modica was able to penetrate some of the defensive masks and behaviors of the students to show fragments of who they are as friends and individuals. Beyond the obvious surface information (physical opposites drawn together; mirrored pairs who have found each other), Modica’s images let us see things like the bravado which has slipped for one boy, yet remains intact for his friend, or the defensive, protective pose one girl takes on behalf of the other. Notably, Modica is able to reveal elements of the personal, which elevate the pictures well beyond social observation. The subjects engage us as individuals, and through that connection we are briefly drawn into the complexity, anxiety and excitement of adolescent life.

Kell Connell: Double Life
Presented by Gallery 339 at Gallery 339
In Double Life, Kelli Connell constructs scenes that appear to be tender everyday moments from a relationship—a couple flirts or argues or gently holds each other. Yet closer examination reveals a profound puzzle; the two figures are identical. The recognition of this fact comes as one of the most sublime surprises in contemporary photography. This unexpected revelation is particularly satisfying because it is not a sharp punch line; it is a slowly emerging realization, accompanied by a sense of uncertainty and unease about what the pictures may actually mean.
Connell creates her subtle tableaux by photographing the same model, who plays both roles in each scene. She then digitally assembles multiple negatives to create a single image. In less certain hands, this kind of technical manipulation can easily show its seams or evoke a sense of gimmickry, yet Connell invests her pictures with an honesty and integrity that preserves their emotional resonance and mystery, even after the viewer is “in” on the true nature of the figures. Importantly, Connell’s technical finesse is merely in service to explore a number of provocative questions about identity, gender roles, and sexuality. With her inventive narratives, she gently, humorously but very effectively inquires just how solid and immutable ideas of self and gender really are.

F.Stokes
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
F.Stokes announces the release of his new EP Love, Always. The 7-song disc is a collection of inspirational tunes recorded in Paris, Los Angeles, and Madison, WI. Different in sound but similar in message to the rest of his catalogue, the record is being described as “aspirational and optimistic.”
Born on the South Side of Chicago, Rodney “F.Stokes” Lucas was raised in Madison, WI, the eldest of six siblings growing up in a single-mother household characterized by frequent address changes and a stint at a homeless shelter. His music depicts the stark and brutal realities of the impoverished urban experience. Rather than capitalizing on the misconceptions of the modern black experience that dominate the hip-hop landscape, F.Stokes provides thoughtful insight into the plight of black men in our nation’s largest cities, his current residence of New York City.
Performing around the globe with the likes of Ghostface Killah, MC Hammer, The Cool Kids, Fashawn, Camp Lo, P.O.S. and currently on tour with Rev Run, F.Stokes reinterprets the thematic traditions of the soul and blues movements for a new generation of music fans through vivid imagery and skillful wordplay. Beneath F.Stokes’ undeniable talent as a lyricist, he is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to promote progress and compassion with his music.

For 40 years, throughout the world, she performed humorous and touching scenes with great precision, filled with a diverse array of characters from charwomen to divas. Scenes include "A Class in Greek Poise," "At a Telephone Switchboard," and "A Cocktail Party." ELTC is only the second production company - ever - to be allowed to produce this work since Draper. Performers are two ELTC favorites: Karen Case Cook and Suzanne Dawson, under the direction of Gayle Stahlhuth.

The Persuasions
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Experience the Kings of A Capella!
With a career spanning half a century and showing no signs of retiring any time soon, the Persuasions continue to take on new and exciting musical projects. Discovered first by Frank Zappa, who played their music over the phone to record company execs, The Persuasions have never ceased in their dedication to live performance. Over the summer of ’09, it was the music of J.J. Cale, featuring the powerhouse baritone/tenor of Sweet Joe Russell on "I’ll Make Love To You," and basso profundo, Jimmy Hayes on "Travelin’ Light."
Continuing the tradition of in-house self-arranging and producing, the group is now joined by Dave Revels, former member of the Drifters and longtime Persuasions friend (who sang with them on their Beatles tribute CD and later arranged and produced their U2 tribute CD) as producer/arranger of the group’s recording projects, along with Jimmy Hayes.
Since the departure of lead singer Jerry Lawson, the “Pers” have regrouped and continue to perform nationwide to rave reviews.

Hooked on Wood: The Allure of the Fish Decoy

Even though the majority of hooked fishing lures were mass manufactured on the lathe by a number of companies through the century, this exhibition will bring to light the beautiful techniques of artists, craftsman and fishermen who produce these decoys for recreation, sport and to secure food.

Forever Plaid
Presented by Media Theatre for the Performing Arts at Media Theatre for the Performing Arts
The Media Theatre, an award-winning professional music theatre company, presents this deliciously goofy revue that centers on four young, eager male singers on the way to their first big concert in the 1950s. They never make it due to a car accident, but are now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams, performing the show that never was.
Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950' including "Three Coins in The Fountain," "Perfidia," and "Cry."

Spectral Impressions: Music of Tristan Murail
Presented by Philadelphia Museum of Art at Rodin Museum
The newly re-opened and renovated Rodin Museum premieres a new concert series and an extraordinary work by Tristan Murail.
Murail is a pioneer of computer music and the world's authority on French Spectralism—a form of composition that relies on an analysis of the fundamental properties of sound and the acoustical properties of musical instruments. The result is the exquisite tones of Murail’s provocative music. This concert offers a unique opportunity to hear a selection of Murail’s very best work, and be the first to hear his new composition. Murail attended Columbia University from 1997 to 2011 and during that time, he worked closely with the Argento Chamber Ensemble on concert performances and an award-winning recording of his chamber music. This program, including commissioning and presentation, has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Music Project. Rain or Shine. Paid parking is available at Eakins Oval or street parking where available.

Music by Giuseppe Verdi

Carolyn Wonderland
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition. She hits the stage with unmatched presence and her circle of musician friends & admirers include Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson (who produced her recent CD) and Bob Dylan. Carolyn has also toured with Buddy Guy and Johnny Winter.
"Carolyn Wonderland is the real deal! She's an amazing guitar player. She whistled a solo. She even played the trumpet! And damn, can she sing." - Los Angeles Times
"A dollop of Janis Joplin, a slice of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and a big load of soulful individuality... that's Wonderland, a seething-hot Texas singer-guitarist. And she can write, too! Produced by Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson, “Miss Understood” focuses on tough yet vulnerable blues, but also captures the melodic soul of classic American song... No wonder Dylan is an avowed fan." - Boston Herald

Presented by Congregation Rodeph Shalom
The New Sacred: Ritual Textiles by Rachel Kanter
Rachel Kanter uses fiber and quilting techniques to create tallit and other pieces reflecting her exploration of Jewish ritual objects. Every tallit Rachel Kanter sews is more than a prayer shawl. “I like to study text when I work,” she said. “Each piece is usually a
commentary on the text — a midrash, really,” on women’s lives.
Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art is one of the venues for Fiber Philadelphia 2012, an international biennial and regional festival for innovative fiber/textile art.

Mini-Morris Players
Presented by Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania at Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania
Throughout the Victorian Age, brother and sister John and Lydia Morris searched the world over gathering a stunning array of plants and trees to enhance their Chestnut Hill Estate. This summer they return (played by two modern actors) to lead a unique and fascinating theatre program for children (ages 5-10).
On the very grounds they developed, the Morrises meet the children and recount fascinating stories of their adventurous travels. As they spin their tales, the children take on the elements of the story; with simple props and costumes the young performers become the trees, flowers, streams and animals, acting out the creation of Morris Arboretum.
This delightful program allows children to become a part of the beauty and history of Morris Arboretum. It is a fun-filled learning tool and a marvelous way to enjoy a summer evening on our enchanting grounds.
The children meet the Morrises at 6:30 pm. Over the next hour, the children learn their parts, while the parents enjoy a stroll through the grounds. At 7:3 0pm there is a performance for the families and all the Arboretum visitors.

A Conversation with Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Author of Little America
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
A senior correspondent and former Baghdad bureau chief for the Washington Post, Rajiv Chandrasekaran is the author of Imperial Life in the Emerald City, “a devastating indictment of the post-invasion failures of the Bush administration” (Booklist). Describing the highly secure enclave of lush plants and posh villas at the headquarters of the United States occupation of Iraq, Chandrasekaran revealed an American leadership out of touch with life outside the Green Zone. The book received the Overseas Press Club Book Award, the Ron Ridenhour Prize, and Britain’s Samuel Johnson Prize. In addition, it was a finalist for the National Book Award and was adapted into an acclaimed feature film starring Matt Damon. In Little America, Chandrasekaran illustrates the power struggle between President Obama and the military to rebuild Afghanistan—a politically, financially, and strategically unsustainable endeavor.

Solas
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Since its birth in 1996, Solas has been long proclaimed the most exciting, popular, and influential Celtic band to ever emerge from the United States. The Philadelphia Inquirer lauds their “mind-blowing Irish folk music, maybe the world’s best.” The New York Times praises their “unbridled vitality," while the Washington Post has dubbed them one of the “world’s finest Celtic-folk ensembles.”
Solas has performed at all the major Celtic and folk festivals, including Philadelphia, Edmonton, the legendary National Folk Festival, and Milwaukee’s Irish fest; but even at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and the chamber music summer series at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, demonstrating their ability to cross boundaries and explore other genres of music.
Their sound is anchored by founders Seamus Egan on flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistle, guitar and bodhran, and fiddler Winifred Horan. They are two of the most respected—and imitated—musicians anywhere in acoustic music. Mick McAuley from Kilkenny plays accordion and concertina; Eamon McElholm from Tyrone plays guitar and keyboards. As a result, they transcend musical genres into the realm of pure musical expression that only a relative handful of musicians attain.

Neon Art: Folk, Found, & Fine
Presented by Philadelphia Center for Architecture at Philadelphia Center for Architecture
Organized by Philadelphia’s own neon artist Len Davidson, this exhibition will feature artwork created by local craftsmen and artisans using the fun and funky technology of neon lighting. FOLK pieces are typically those made by commercial sign tubebenders or tinkerers who are usually untrained in fine art. FOUND pieces are objects that utilize neon along with found objects. FINE pieces are made with galleries and the fine art market in mind, or are pieces that might be seen in such venues.
All three categories have rarely been exhibited in Philadelphia, and the Center’s semi-permanent collection of 13 antique neon signs (from Davidson’s fledgling Neon Museum of Philadelphia) will add to the experience, and provide a commercial contrast to the art pieces. Many pieces will be for sale.

Star & Micey with Carolina Story
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
It was a dark night, like many before it in Memphis, Tennessee. Joshua Andrew Cosby walked home from rehearsal with his guitar, case-less, slung over his back. A local homeless man flagged him down, not for money but for a story. He explained to Cosby how he had written a song about his former lover, Micey. There, on that dimly lit street occurred an exchange, two men playing each other songs of heartbreak and the ultimate sacrifice. Upon parting ways, the man revealed his name to be Star. That name became the fixture for one of Memphis’ most inventive bands: Star & Micey.
Star & Micey have a way of capturing your attention as well as your heart. Their harmonies are enchanting and the blues/folk infusion uniquely delivered by the group settle in your brain and have you humming their songs for days. They’re a band that dances, bounces and even backflips around while providing an energetic all-American sound with a variety of Appalachian instruments.
The 6-person group’s self-titled debut album features a revolving door of fantastic musicians including Luther Dickinson (The Black Crowes, North Mississippi Allstars), Jody Stephens (Big Star) and Rick Steff (Cat Power, Lucero).
Also performing: Carolina Story.

Hot Buttered Rum
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Initially formed as an acoustic string band, seven years of constant touring has transformed Hot Buttered Rum into a plugged-in, percussive powerhouse that wows critics and fans alike. Their left-coast rock reveals an access to jazz, country, and world music that few groups can match.
Hot Buttered Rum’s story is one of evolution. The “high altitude bluegrass” era captured on their first studio album, In These Parts, found the band enjoying success at such diverse stages as the Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Grey Fox, High Sierra, Wakarusa, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
More electric pickups made their way to the stage, along with an increased focus on songwriting. As the band developed a heavier sound, fans and press began to describe them as a rock band with acoustic instruments.

Matthew Smith - The Spaces Between Your Fingers Project
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Do you know the secret of the spaces between your fingers? The Spaces Between Your Fingers is one of the most exciting new art projects in the country. Conceived by Philadelphian Matthew Ross Smith, participants inscribe a memory or short message onto an old-fashioned postcard. Instead of signing your name, you trace your handprint onto the card. The postcards are being archived into a cutting-edge digital “wisdom library” that can be searched by age, location, subject or—using an iPad or similar tablet—by matching handprint. Bring your photographs and memories and connect the old-fashioned way (in the same room!) as we celebrate the unique, diverse wisdom of Philadelphians.

Revolution, I Love You
Presented by World Cafe Live at the Queen at World Cafe Live at the Queen
Revolution, I Love You, like the 1968 Paris student uprising that inspired the band’s name, is a volatile mix of impulses that come together in a joyous riot of sound. Their music is an eclectic blend of indie rock and dance beats. Although RILY's music has a layered complexity that suggests a five-piece group, the "band" is only two men: Rob Lindgren and Jason Reynolds – two men with enough ingenuity and fearless curiosity to create sophisticated and challenging music that you can't stop dancing to.

Brace yourself for the eerie side of art on an ominous adventure at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Steel your nerves as you go in search of such items as a devil that terrorized church ladies, a peasant going “night clubbing,” a silent knight and unholy knight, a boy engaged in fowl play, rabbits with unlucky feet, a botched tonsillectomy, fancy firearms, a sword that’ll make you talk about overkill, a hunchback who won’t ring a bell, dragons with bad breath, a lass with leafy limbs, and deadly musical fruit—to name just a few of the highlights.
After this twisted tour, you’ll never look at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in quite the same way.

Evil Dead, The Musical
Presented by Bootless Artworks at Opera Delaware Studios
The Deadites return for another Ash kicking.
Five college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods, accidentally unleashing an evil terror. In this comedic take on 1980s horror franchise, characters and demons sing and dance to songs written specifically for the musical. And, as in the films, Ash is there to dish out his various one liners and fight the never ending demons. The musical takes creative liberty with the plot line of the movies, mixing together the characters and concepts of all three, as well as changing sequences for the sake of the stage and comedic intent.
This time around, Bootless stages its sell-out show in the 75 seat black box theater at OperaDelaware. With the most blood ever, no seat is safe from splatter.

A Conversation with Tana French, Author of Broken Harbor
Presented by Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library at Free Library of Philadelphia - Parkway Central Library
Irish novelist and actress Tana French won the 2007 Edgar Award for her New York Times bestselling debut novel In the Woods. “Drawn by the grim nature of her plot and the lyrical ferocity of her writing, even smart people who should know better will be able to lose themselves in these dark woods,” praised the New York Times Book Review. She followed In the Woods with The Likeness and Faithful Place, both bestselling installments in French’s psychological crime series about the Dublin Murder Squad. Her suspenseful novels feature complex characters living in layered worlds of memory, identity, and loss. In Broken Harbor, the much-anticipated fourth book in the series, star detective Scorcher Kennedy investigates the deaths of two children and their father in a half-built estate outside Dublin.

2012 Summer Stars Program
Presented by Actors' Net of Bucks County, Inc at Heritage Center
Entering its fabulous 14th year of operation, Summer Stars is a unique program - instructing students in the basics in acting, singing and dance, while gearing the studies specifically to the proficiency level of each student. At the end of the course, students perform in full-length musical shows custom-written for the course, ensuring each student is performing material suitable to their level of talent.
The youngsters and the teens will perform separate full length musicals. The kids will take to the stage in Fact versus Fiction: Professsor Linmer (a.k.a. Merlin the Magician) is at it again -- casting a spell to bring literary characters to life. Everyone from Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn to Annie Sullivan from "The Miracle Worker" and other historical characters, such as Pocahontas, young Eleanor Roosevelt and Harriet Tubman meet for hilarity as egos clash. Adding to the dilemma: Some of the characters brought back are villains, who try to turn the literary heroes to the dark side! This musical combines wacky comedy with dramatic moments as well. Guaranteed to be educational and fun!
For the teens, it's All's Well -- Or Maybe Not - a musical comedy about "young love." When two popular couples split up, their friends rally to try and bring them back together (except for those who wanted the break-ups to happen in the first place!) Our storyline advances through good old rock 'n roll songs -- blasts from the '50s right through a few from modern times - with the emphasis on the music their parents and grandparents know and love.

The Wizard of Oz
Presented by Storybook Musical Theatre at Mitchell Performing Arts Center
Act I
As the play begins, Auntie Em sings about a day on the farm. Dorothy runs in frantically and explains that Toto chased Miss Glitch's cat and that Miss Glitch tried to hit Toto with a broom. Dorothy wishes she could be somewhere else. Soon Miss Glitch comes looking for Toto to take him to the sheriff. Auntie Em reminds Miss Glitch that Toto only bothers someone that bothers him. After she leaves, the farmhands start imitating the dog chasing the cat and Miss Glitch. As they start to leave to do their chores, the Professor, who is a peddler, arrives. He claims he can see the future. As the Professor and Dorothy talk, she begins to believe what he is saying. Suddenly, Hickory runs in hollering about a twister coming their way. As the twister hits, Dorothy gets caught in it and soon discovers she is not in Kansas anymore. She is greeted by the Good Witch of the North who tells her she is in Munchkinland. When Dorothy's house landed, it killed the Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch assures Dorothy that everything will be all right as soon as she removes the ruby slippers and places them on her own feet. The Wicked Witch of the West appears and finding her sister dead threatens Dorothy. The Good Witch tells Dorothy that as long as she wears the ruby slippers no harm will come her way. The Wicked Witch leaves, but promises to get Dorothy. The Good Witch tells her to get help from the Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City. She can get there by following the yellow brick road. As the Good Witch leaves, Dorothy is joined by the Scarecrow, who comes out of a cornfield. Dorothy thinks he is very smart, but he tells Dorothy he doesn't have a brain and can't be smart. She asks him to come with her to the Emerald City. They haven't gone far when the Tinman squeaks for help. Once they oil him, the Tinman explains that he is okay, except that he doesn't have a heart. Dorothy says he should join them on their journey to the Wizard. Then a growl is heard. The Lion roars into the scene. He tries to scare them, but Dorothy slaps his paw and he starts to cry. The Lion tells them he is really a coward and wants some courage. As they head down the yellow brick road with the Lion, Act One ends.
Act II As the Act begins, the Wicked Witch is gazing into her crystal ball. She sees Dorothy and her friends on their way to the Emerald City. She plans to dispose of Dorothy's friends and then take the ruby slippers from Dorothy. At the same time, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion arrive in Oz. They meet a little man and tell him they need to see the Wizard. The little man goes to find the Wizard and then a booming voice of the Wizard is heard. They each explain their wishes, but the Wizard says he will not help them unless they do one small task. They must return with the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. The trio all agree to help Dorothy. Meanwhile, the Witch has been watching and is planning to put them all to sleep forever. They all start to feel tired and are soon asleep. The Witch comes and takes Dorothy away, but the Good Witch removes the spell and the sleeping friends awaken. They realize that the Witch has taken Dorothy and they search for her. The Witch has Dorothy at her castle. When she tries to take the ruby slippers, the magical powers prevent her. She leaves to get a potion. The Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion arrive to rescue Dorothy and take the Witch's broom. The Lion finds the broom just as the Witch returns. The Witch tries to set the Scarecrow on fire, but Dorothy throws some water on the Witch who then melts away. Returning to the Wizard with the broomstick, they discover that the little man really is the Wizard. He assures them that their wishes are easily granted and gives a diploma to the Scarecrow for brains, a ticker to the Tinman for his heart, and a medal to the Lion for his courage. Dorothy thinks she won't get home, but the Wizard tells her that he is also from Kansas and has a balloon that brought him to Oz. He will take her home. The Good Witch enters to tell Dorothy that she can go home anytime she wants by using the magic of the ruby slippers. Dorothy says good-bye to everyone, clicks her heels together three times and returns home. The End.

Danielle Miraglia
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
A strong steady thumb on an old Gibson guitar is the driving force behind Danielle Miraglia's delta blues-influenced guitar style. Add a raw, powerful, whiskey tinged voice and one might be tempted to label her a blues artist. But while Miraglia's style pays homage to these blues traditions, her classic rock verve, catchy melodies and eclectic array of song subjects give it an original twist that is all her own. A fresh sound along with a sharp wit and a captivating stage presence is gaining her fans all over the map.
Danielle Miraglia's country/folk/blues sound descends in large part from Mississippi John Hurt, and she is a worthy carrier of that guitar-picking tradition. Her voice, reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt's, is strong but vulnerable, feminine but never precious, with a gutwrenching catch to it. Her guitar playing is both accomplished and soulful, and her songs tap into the ur-melodies and fundamental chord changes that form the essence of western music, while still saying something in a distinct and original voice.

The Dead Guy
Presented by Allentown Public Theatre
Eric Coble's The Dead Guy is, as one critic put it, “a slapstick satire on ultimate reality TV shows that will tickle your funny bone no end." What would you do for a million bucks and a week of TV stardom? Is there anything that an audience, obsessed with the lives of today's pseudo-stars, wouldn't watch? In this darkly humorous play, Eldon Phelps, down on his luck, gives everything for fortune and fame on a show called “The Dead Guy,” where ultimately viewers will vote on the means of his demise.

Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894

With hilarious insights on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.

Much Ado About Nothing
Presented by Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts
By William Shakespeare
Directed by James J. Christy
With a zest for love and a love of life, Shakespeare’s spirited comedy offers a tale of two courtships. Beatrice and Benedick elevate the art of the quarrel in their duel of glittering wordplay, while Claudio and Hero have their true love put to the test.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Presented by Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts
A Pulitzer Prize-winning American classic By Tennessee Williams.
Directed by Thomas Ouellette.
Maggie “the Cat” still burns hot for her ex-football star husband, but Brick only has eyes for the bottom of a whiskey bottle. When Big Daddy returns home from a cancer clinic thinking he’s got a clean bill of health, his family swarms for a slice of the inheritance pie. In Tennessee Williams’ explosive Pulitzer Prize winner, the emotional shockwaves intensify as truths are finally told. Perhaps the crowning achievement of one of America’s greatest playwrights.
Mature content. PG14.

Flat Out: Screen Print Installation by Eva Wylie
Presented by Philadelphia Art Alliance at Philadelphia Art Alliance
As a printmaker and installation artist, Eva Wylie’s installations both preserve and expand traditional printmaking and découpage techniques. Using a four-color separation silkscreen process, her work examines photographic duplication, an intrinsic element of contemporary pop culture, while reflecting upon craft-based traditions of the 19th century. Culling her imagery from the internet as well as other graphic sources such as magazines or product designs, Wylie displaces the content of these images from their origin and creates new forms that play with the concepts of ornament, composition, and spatial illusion. The meaning of the original image is stripped of its significance and given over to a structure that becomes decorative. In some, flat screen prints are molded into elegant amorphous patterns resembling a patchwork quilt, while other works screen printed directly onto the wall are rendered as a three-dimensional object.

Periphery: Multimedia Works by Michael Fujita
Presented by Philadelphia Art Alliance at Philadelphia Art Alliance
For Michael Fujita, Philadelphia is the largest and most urban environment that he has lived in, and through his sculptural work, he explores memories of actual architectural sites and details scattered throughout the city. As the artist states, “the memory of a staircase exposed now by the void where another once stood, the custom bricks of varying size used for building and paving, and the patterns made through their various combinations, all serve as launching points.” His floor, and pedestal pieces demonstrate his "kiln casting" technique, a process by which he layers hundreds of varied parts and glaze materials within the confines of a mold that is capable of being fired. After the firing, the mold is broken away, revealing singular elements fused together to create a unique whole. Most recently, Fujita has also focused on creating forms from wood, using the same process of layering smaller singular forms to create larger pieces. In addition to his new ceramic work, Fujita will be using this process to create a life-sized tree made of wood that is completely built within the gallery. Conceptually, it is the time, labor, craft, and material choice that add complex layers of meaning to capture the mood and sensibility of his surroundings, often combining beauty of nature with the built environment.

Gister Master Acting Class
Presented by White Pines Productions at Elkins Estate
This class is a tribute to Earle R. Gister, Associate Dean of the Yale School of Drama and Head of Acting from 1980-1994. Earle was a seminal figure in the creation of the American regional theater and at the center of the birth of American conservatory acting training in the '60s and '70s. He ran the program at Carnegie-Mellon for years before coming to Yale to work with the newly appointed Dean of the Drama School, Lloyd Richards. There, he trained a generation of American actors including White Pines' Founding Producer and teacher of this class, Benjamin Lloyd.
This class will use the three playwrights Earle used to study realism: Chekhov, Ibsen and Strindberg.
Earle believed these plays gave modern actors a heightened challenge: to play the high stakes objectives and actions of the characters within a rich world of given circumstances unfamiliar to the modern artist, full of nuance and manners, and therefore requiring research, creativity and intelligence.
This will be a scene-study class for the serious actor interested in an advanced study of realism. Earle's method of psychological actions, based on doing rather than intending will be stressed, along with a deep investigation of the plays being rehearsed and performed in class. Having taught my own version of Earle's method for over twenty years, and as a professional actor who practices it on stage, I can attest that it moves the actor towards egolessness even as it asks for extraordinary courage and sensitivity.
Students should be prepared to dress as close to character as possible when presenting scenes: women in long dresses, men in suits or jackets and ties. Only students who can commit to the whole class should enroll - you learn as much from watching others as you do from working yourself. One or two missed classes can be tolerated, more than that cannot. Students should be ready and prepared to rehearse outside of class throughout the summer, and to read the entire play(s) their scene(s) is from, slowly and carefully. You may work on the same scene for the duration of the class. Because of this, students are encouraged to apply in pairs with a scene from one of these plays in mind (I will insist on the Paul Schmidt translation of Chekhov).

Vertigo - The Artist as a Filmmaker
Presented by Philadelphia Film Society at Gershman Y
Alfred Hitchcock influenced much of what we take for granted in modern cinema with his use of camera techniques, sound tracks and editing styles. When first released, Vertigo received unfavorable reviews from critics, but has gone on to become a classic psychological thriller and a film that helped define Hitchcock’s career.
The Philadelphia Film Society and the University of the Arts present The Artist as a Filmmaker, a monthly series highlighting world-renowned directors whose careers transitioned from visual artistry to filmmaking. The monthly program expands the Philadelphia Film Festival’s ‘Masters of Cinema’ sidebar, educating audiences on the collaboration of multiple art forms, while celebrating the introductory year of the University of the Arts’ School of Film in 2012.
To preserve the onscreen experience, the showcase will aim to present a majority of films on 35mm prints.

Form & Content
Presented by Project Basho at Project Basho
Often, a good photograph maintains a balance between content (what to photograph) and form (how to photograph). In this five-week class, participants will understand and create photographs in light of the fine balance between form and content.
Through examples of work, discussions, and critique of students work, participants will gain an understanding of the formalistic elements of photographs and apply it to the creative process while photographing in the field, and editing in the studio. Based on current interest and projects, students will work on assignments. During this time, students will make photographs with a particular emphasis on the balance between form and content. The greater portion of the classes will be spent critiquing students work from the assignment.
This class is for photographers who have been photographing and looking for evaluation and critique of their work in a structured fashion.

Dead Sea Scrolls Lecture: Stars, Scrolls, and Angels - Astronomy in Ancient Times
Presented by The Franklin Institute at The Franklin Institute - Franklin Theater
In an age before telescopes, what did ancients know and think about the stars? What did they imagine when they looked up into the starry night? New evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls has revealed lost traditions of Jewish observation and speculation about celestial cycles, exposing the forgotten place of ancient Jews between Babylonian and Greek scientists. This talk opens a window on ancient astronomy, as seen from the perspectives of ancient history and modern science alike.

The Young Actor - Acting Class for Young Adults
Presented by White Pines Productions at Elkins Estate
This is a scene-study acting class with the young actor in mind, taught by Benjamin Lloyd, MFA Yale School of Drama. He's looking for a class of between eight and twelve 15-20-year-olds to work on fun scenes and learn some great acting exercises during the summer. Scenes will be drawn from his favorite plays for young actors, plays he has been using in his classes for many years.
Classes will be divided into three sections: exercises the whole class will participate in, scene study, and discussion. Only students who can commit to the whole class should enroll; you learn as much from watching others as you do from working yourself. One or two missed classes can be tolerated, more than that cannot. Students should be ready and prepared to rehearse outside of class throughout the summer, and to read the entire play(s) their scene(s) is from, slowly and carefully. You may work on the same scene for the duration of the class. Scenes to be presented in class must be memorized and rehearsed prior to presentation.

Rugrats Jr.
Presented by Bristol Riverside Theatre at Bristol Riverside Theatre
Nickelodeon’s classic hit animated series about life from a baby’s point of view. The Rugrats are Tommy, our one-year-old hero, and his friends, Chuckie, Phil & Lil and his cousin Angelica. Whenever adults are around, the Rugrats act like real babies, but when they’re alone they drop the façade and talk to each other with the vocabulary of five-year-olds. As Tommy and his pals wobble through life, supported by legs not yet used for walking, they show us the world as a baby views and understands it. The Rugrats’ world is one that exists below our knees; here mundane things and events turn into grand, comic adventures.
For young audiences 4 to 10 years old and any Rugrats enthusiasts.

Summer Theatre Camp in Elkins Park
Presented by White Pines Productions at Elkins Estate
White Pines Productions, in conjunction with Yes! And… Collaborative Arts, has recently announced the formation of its summer theatre camp for kids called Yes! And... White Pines. The camp is an exciting, creative, and transformative summer experience for young people ages 8-14.
Children are not required to have any theatrical experience in order to participate in the five-week long camp. Additionally, they can take part in one or all of the weeks.
The curriculum has been designed to dig into each child's imagination and awaken a sense of play and wonder. The performing arts topics explored have been chosen to teach children how to collaborate with others, work as a group, and cultivate each other's strengths. Young people will create imagined identities, roles, shared history, myths and story lines – all through their play and work in daily classes that can include acting, dance/movement, visual arts and storytelling/playwriting.
Each theatre camp weekly experience concludes with a celebration of the collaborative and creative work completed by the children during the week – in other words, it ends with a world premiere performance by the campers themselves!

Celtic-Stompers who push the musical envelope yet never stray too far from the tradition whence they came, The Glengarry Bhoys earned a reputation as entertainers that challenge you to sit still during their engaging performances. They’re rooted in Glengarry, Ontario and draw on French and Scottish musical heritages.

Stefan Sagmeister - The Happy Show at ICA
Presented by Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA)
Graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister not only tests the boundary between art and design, he often transgresses it through his imaginative implementation of typography. Filling the Institute of Contemporary Art's (ICA) entire second-floor galleries and Ramp, and activating the in-between spaces of the museum, The Happy Show offers visitors the experience of walking into the designer's mind as he attempts to increase his happiness via mediation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals. "I am usually rather bored with definitions," Sagmeister says. "Happiness, however, is just such a big subject that it might be worth a try to pin it down." Centered around the designer's ten-year exploration of happiness, this exhibition presents typographic investigations of a series of maxims, or rules to live by, originally culled from Sagmeister's diary, manifested in a variety of imaginative and interactive forms.

Presented by Philadelphia Museum of Art at Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadelphia Museum of Art will open an exhibition presenting objects by 39 craft artists from 11 countries who work in a variety of media, including ceramic, rubber, bronze, glass, wood, silver, silk, and natural fibers.

The links between these artists reflect the continuing vitality of craft as a form of visual expression, and underscore the fact that its practice, always evolving to encompass new materials and new techniques, spans continents and generations. International in scope, Craft Spoken Here also pays homage to Philadelphia’s vibrant craft tradition by featuring four prominent artists with local ties: Rebecca Medel, Doug Bucci, Jessica Julius, and Rudolf Staffel. The exhibition will connect with the crafting community through the CraftLAB, a space within the exhibition dedicated to demonstrating and exploring craft techniques, in which visitors will be invited to participate.

National Collage Society 28th Annual Juried Exhibition at Berman Museum of Art
Presented by Ursinus College - Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College - Berman Museum of Art
June 9th-August 12th, Upper Gallery
As the National Collage Society celebrates the 100th anniversary of collage in 2012, the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art is delighted to collaborate once again with the NCS on its annual juried exhibition.
A reception in honor of the 100th anniversary milestone will be held on July 12th from 6-8 pm, with music by the Paul Woznicki Trio.
A Collage Workshop is scheduled for July 14th and led by Gretchen Bierbaum, President, National Collage Society. Pre-registration is required at 610-409-3500.
The installation was rigorously reviewed by the Jury of Selection: Christine Poggi, Professor, History of Art, University of Pennsylvania; Daniel Miller, artist and Chair of the Graduate Programs, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; and Carol Wisker, collage artist and administrator.
Collage existed in many craft forms before Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso incorporated it into their art in 1912, elevating it to a fine art. The genre evolved through the 20th century using contemporary media and new dimensions. The National Collage Society was founded to educate the public about this art medium through exhibitions, lectures, publications and workshops.
The Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College, known for its diverse collection and innovative educational programming, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Museum is closed Mondays and college holidays. The Museum is accessible to the physically disabled, and admission is free. The Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums. Exhibitions and programs are funded in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and annual support from Epps Advertising.

Joan Osborne (Acoustic)
Presented by ArtsQuest/Bethlehem Musikfest at Musikfest Cafe at Steel Stacks
JOAN OSBORNE - Bring It on Home
"I knew when the time was right and my voice was ready, I wanted to make a recording like this one," says Joan Osborne.
That recording is Bring It on Home, a collection of vintage blues, R&B and soul songs that make up the seventh album from the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist. It's an apt title-for Osborne, Home marks a return to her musical roots. "I cut my teeth in New York blues clubs singing songs like this," she remembers. "I'd do three or four one-hour sets per night. That's where I really learned to sing."
Despite her long history with the music, it was only recently that the singer felt like she was ready to put some of those standards on record. "There's a texture and richness to these songs that singers don't have right away, that I didn't have when I started out," she says. "But the more I've done this, the more tone and depth I've developed. This was the time."

My Morning Jacket with Special Guest Band of Horses
Presented by Mann Center for the Performing Arts at Mann Center for the Performing Arts
Widely regarded as one of the greatest live bands of their generation, My Morning Jacket’s spectacle of a live show has become the stuff of legend and returns to the Mann for the second season in row August 17th with special guest Band of Horses.
From performing at Madison Square Garden to being nominated for a Grammy with their album Evil Urges, their achievements show no signs of slowing down. As a review by the Philadelphia Inquirer of last season’s Mann Center show noted, “The band’s star continues to rise. The reason is simple: Live, My Morning Jacket is an unstoppable force of nature."
Since forming in 1998 the group has boldly tackled new genres and ideas on each album, maintaining a perpetual evolution that is thrilling, innovative, and impossible to predict. Frontman Jim James has an immediately recognizable voice that is iconic in its own right. Soulful and enigmatic all at once, his golden tenor can command an audience equally with heartbreaking fragility or unfettered power.
The quintet’s sixth studio album, Circuital, was recorded almost entirely live to capture an honest spirit and human spontaneity throughout the listening experience.
Supporting My Morning Jacket are Seattle-bred rockers Band of Horses. Known for their grandiose, heart-on-a-sleeve brand of indie rock, Band of Horses’ latest studio album, 2010’s Infinite Arms, received a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album. According to lead singer Ben Bridwell, the band will release their highly-anticipated 4th studio album in late 2012.

ARTScetera: Figure Drawing
Presented by Center for the Creative Arts at The Center for the Creative Arts
For Students entering 7th-9th grades
Kelly McConnell Cox, Instructor
You asked for it! Figure Drawing for teen artists! Working with a professional artist and live model, you will learn how to draw the human body more accurately using traditional charcoal and chalk media. Your model will wear a bathing suit or leotard so that you can see the skeleton and muscles work together. Once you are able to capture the proportions in a variety of natural poses, it will be much easier for you to draw human figures in any pose and wearing any clothing.

HuDost
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
"HuDost has a folk quality yet is quite post-modern; the band offers new takes on ancient words and melodies, cross-cultural hybrid transcendental chill-out music with an edge. (The album will even be agreeable to those whose spiritual music is punk.)..This is not fluffy new-age music—it's serious, complex fare with no aversion to addressing agony. Sommer's vocal execution is precisely orchestrated, her voice-opening, hollow-toned vortexes piercing through the tough spots. This album is a journey of music and spirit." (CHRONOGRAM).

Shiny Monsters: An Installation by Adam Wallacavage
Presented by Philadelphia Art Alliance at Philadelphia Art Alliance
Inspired by the Gothic interiors of now-closed Catholic churches he visited throughout Philadelphia, Adam Wallacavage channeled his fascination with chandeliers by creating Jules Verne-inspired lighting for the dining room in his Victorian brownstone. To construct these octopus sculptures, Wallacavage taught himself the traditional techniques of ornamental plastering, which includes large-cast plaster work and hand-sculpted pieces from epoxy-clay. Those initial sculptures inspired Wallacavage to continue to experiment in form, color, and technique, even developing his own unique glazes and application technique to give his pieces a unique vibrant shimmer. More recently, Wallacavage has added his love of kitsch to his sculptures. Casts of cartoon bunnies and elephants, Hello Kitty heads, and vintage toys are incorporated into his pieces, which are then covered in bright glazes in shades such as bubble-gum pink and mint green. The resulting sculptures reflect his varied aesthetic interests, ranging from 16th Century Baroque opulence to 1940s Americana. For his first solo exhibition in Philadelphia, Wallacavage will take inspiration from his lavishly decorated home by presenting several new chandeliers within each gallery.

Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
Since his creation by Morgan Taylor in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, acclaimed by The New York Times, which described Gustafer as “A cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” Entertainment Weekly praised “The most infectious original songs. It’s like tapping into some pleasure center in the brain- both adult and kids – absurdly appealing. Grade: A.”
New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor “Best Kids’ Performer” in a recent “Best of New York” issue. “Mint Green Bee” from Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wide Wild World was a Grand Prize Winner in the Children’s Category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Gustafer Yellowgold’s show is a multi-media performance of live music, animated illustrations and storytelling. With its unique crossover appeal, the show has been the wild-card opening act for Wilco and The Polyphonic Spree. Gustafer made his off-broadway debut at the dr2 theatre in 2008 with Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Sensation, and has toured nationally to arts centers, children’s museums, schools, libraries, cinemas, theaters and music venues, with additional performances in the UK and even Korea!

Capitalism by Gaslight:
Presented by Library Company of Philadelphia
Drawing on books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, prints, photographs, and ephemera in the Library Company's collection, guest curator Wendy Woloson explores underground urban commerce in the 19th century in our upcoming exhibition "Capitalism by Gaslight: The Shadow Economies of 19th-Century America."
The exhibition focuses on how many Americans earned their livings outside the spheres of wholesale and retail commerce, conducting economic transactions in illicit and semi-legal ways. From pick-pocketing to gambling, counterfeiting to prostitution, "Capitalism by Gaslight" describes the myriad ways people participated in an earlier, shadowy realm of commerce that required a surprising degree of creativity, cunning, and financial acumen.

Bill Haley's Comets with Opening Act Michael Upshaw
Presented by Broadway Theatre of Pitman at Broadway Theatre of Pitman
Bill Haley and his Comets burst onto the music scene in the early 1950s and were the first group of musicians to bring rock and roll to the world's attention. With Bill's signature split curl hairstyle and the band's matching dinner jackets and super energetic stage presence, many fans considered them to be as revolutionary in the 1950s as the Beatles and Rolling Stones were in the 1960s. Their single "Rock Around the Clock" was featured in the smash teen movie Blackboard Jungle in 1955 and became an instant number one hit.
Today, Bill Haley's Comets continue to perform every year at theatres, clubs, fairs and casinos all over the world for rock and roll fans of all ages. Their energetic live performance is one you definitely won't want to miss this summer!

Chuck Anderson Trio
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Chuck Anderson is one of the busiest and most successful private teachers of jazz guitar in the world. Teaching, researching and consulting, he has built an educational practice of international proportions. Students from four states travel weekly to his teaching studio to find what they have never been able to find from any other teacher.
Chuck is a relentless researcher and has developed some of the most revolutionary concepts to help students develop their talent and find their own direction. Many of these concepts have been developed into books and videos available in his Institute of Guitar.
His track record of creating successful students is impressive. Some of them are Michael Sembello, a mega successful songwriter and guitarist with phenomenal credentials. Mike went directly from his studies with Chuck to working with Stevie Wonder at the age of 19. After seven years with Stevie, Michael created, sang, arranged and played on the chart topping “Maniac” from the film “Flashdance." His credits are too numerous to list here but you can visit his website at MichaelSembello.com to get a sense of what he has accomplished.
Chuck regularly updates his jazz guitar blog with a ton of motivational content, from discussing why the guitar is so popular to learning the fundamentals of guitar, Chuck continues to teach and educate his audience all of his knowledge and experience about the subject.
Chuck currently writes for the national magazines Just Jazz Guitar and Jazz Inside. He has also joined the staff of Jazz Masters at Mike’s Master Classes. His column “The Art and Science of Jazz” appears monthly at AllAboutJazz.com, the world’s largest jazz website. He maintains a busy schedule performing, teaching, composing and lecturing in the US and abroad.

Ryan Montbleau Band
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
They make catchy folk-pop with lyrics made for singing along. But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to their sound.
With Ryan’s finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder, there is clearly an abundance of talent here.
And this may be a Northeastern band, but there’s a zydeco layer in their music too. Ryan has been writing up a storm, and you can be among the first to hear the band’s new material.

Who Owns Ulysses? Joyce and Copyright
Presented by Rosenbach Museum and Library at Rosenbach Museum and Library
Defending the “Moral Right of Writers” to own and protect their works, James Joyce once said: “A work belongs to its author by virtue of a natural right, and thus the courts ought to protect an author against the mutilation and publication of his work just as he is protected against the ill use someone might make of his name.”
This exhibition examines several such mutilations of Joyce's own work while tracing the impact of obscenity laws and copyright laws on the international publication history of his novel Ulysses.

Mastering Flash Photography
Presented by Project Basho at Project Basho
Light is the language of photography. Understanding when—and how—to use light while working on location is essential to creating images with style and impact. Through the use of wireless compact flash units, intermediate and advanced photographers will learn to improve their lighting style and technique. Portable, wireless flashes are convenient and cost effective ways to use multiple flash units on location, simplifying candid and travel photography.
Through mini lectures and hands-on demonstrations, students will discuss flash modes; using light modifiers to shape, soften and control light; and applying colored gels for enhanced effect. Students will also learn to manipulate the strobe for high key light effect, or blending for natural looks.
In challenging lighting situations, students will learn to master the strobe and use on-camera flash and wireless, multi-strobe setups.

Childhood's End Pink Floyd Tribute
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Using a circular video screen, high tech intelligent lights, cutting edge sound and note perfect renditions of the classic songs, Childhood’s End reflects the true essence of Pink Floyd. With over 100 years of combined musical and music business experience, locally, nationally and internationally, Childhood’s End provides a truly professional and complete visual and dynamic musical performance. Childhood’s End is able to size down to large clubs, but does it’s best in theatres.
The complex production and dynamic musical values of CE provide the fans of the legendary band a glimpse at what it was like to see Pink Floyd live. CE’s multi-media presentations feature not only the stunning visuals, but the combination of them with the intricate and sometimes edgy compositions of Waters and Gilmour performed with all of the energy of the originals. Gregory John’s feel for Gilmour’s guitar sound blended with Schad’s soundscapes create the palette for Robinson and Puma’s rich vocalizations and musicianship, all kept in metronome like time by Garboushian’s thunderous percussion. Together they create a tribute to Pink Floyd unlike any other.

Ghosts of Philly
Presented by Free Tours by Foot
Philadelphia may be the Cradle of Liberty, but it's also a city spooked by true ghastly stories of the city that inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Murders of Rue Morgue" and "The Raven." A city frightening enough to contain Bram Stoker's research for Dracula.
Join Free Tours by Foot as we explore the haunted history of the nation's most historic city and hear accounts of love lured specters, tormented souls of war, traitors and the sorrowful woes of the repentant dead. Possible sightings of desecrating German Soldiers, a tragic Edgar Allen Poe, Bishop White's murderous cook, and maybe even a dancing Ben Franklin!

From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen
Presented by National Constitution Center at National Constitution Center
Everyone is invited to celebrate the right to free expression at an exhibition that rocks! Explore Springsteen’s legendary career in From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen, the first major exhibition about the pioneering American songwriter. Created by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, this must-see exhibition makes its East Coast debut at the National Constitution Center—the first and only venue where it is slated to travel.
Through such compelling lyrics as “There’s treasure for the taking, for any hard working man who will make his home in the American land,” Springsteen gives voice to the struggles of the working class, veterans, immigrants and other groups whose unique stories add to the definition of “We the People.” Springsteen’s unique brand of heartland rock brings a sense of urgency, patriotism and realism to popular music.
From Asbury Park to the Promised Land takes a comprehensive look at Springsteen’s catalog, from such early bands as Child, the Castiles and Steel Mill through his work with the E Street Band and as a solo artist. Visitors have the rare opportunity to view several of Springsteen’s guitars, including the Fender Esquire from the cover of Born to Run, as well as the outfit he wore on the cover of Born in the U.S.A., numerous handwritten lyric manuscripts, posters and handbills from all phases of his career, and various awards and honors. In addition, the exhibition features Springsteen’s 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, which he purchased after the success of Born to Run.

Larry Coryell, Victor Bailey, Lenny White
Presented by JTAMS Productions at Mauch Chunk Opera House
Iconic performers – bassist Victor Bailey, guitarist Larry Coryell, and drummer Lenny White – harness their amazing talents and considerable experience in an evening of eclectic jazz, R&B and rock.
Victor Bailey began his recording career with Weather Report, and has played with such diverse groups as Steps Ahead and Madonna. Bailey’s ability to play both rhythm and lead provides for a deep rhythm section.
Larry Coryell debuted on Chico Hamilton’s Dealer album in 1966 and has appeared on more than 200 albums, 70 as a leader. Coryell was involved in the early fusion movement, later moved into acoustic, and for the last few years has refined his sound as a traditional jazz guitarist.
Lenny White is best known for participating as one of the drummers on Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew sessions, and as a member of the most famous lineup of Chick Corea’s Return to Forever. Since embarking on a solo career White has collaborated with the cream of fusion players, including Brian Auger, Jan Hammer, Miroslav Vitous and Al DiMeola.
This is truly a band to be reckoned with, performing in a house perfect for their sound.

Dead Sea Scrolls Lecture: The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Presented by The Franklin Institute at The Franklin Institute - Franklin Theater
The Dead Sea Scrolls represent a collection of Jewish religious works, including early copies of the Hebrew Bible, which were discovered in caves surrounding the site of Qumran, by the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The scrolls were deposited in the caves by members of a Jewish sect that inhabited Qumran in the first century B.C.E. and first century C.E. In this slide-illustrated lecture, we examine the archaeological remains of the Qumran settlement, and discuss the connection of the site with the scrolls and the sect’s identity.

Danielia Cotton
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894
Best know for “It’s Only Life,” Danielia Cotton's sound is a savory dig in the early '70s when the twin powers of rock and soul came together to form a harmonious funk that satisfied the spirit as it thrilled with slashing electric guitars. Cotton brings a freshness to her rockin' blues stylings with her shockingly big voice.
“Cotton’s raspy holler atop such tightly messy hard rock is genuinely funky stuff, like a cross between Thin Lizzy and Sly Stone.” — Chicago Tribune
“...an honest-to-God voice with real power, conviction, emotion and soul.” — BostonHerald.com

You're Only As Happy As You Allow Yourself to Be: A Yin and Restorative Yoga Workshop
Presented by Wake Up Yoga at Wake Up Yoga South
Come dive deeply into stillness in this provocatively opening and healing workshop.
The royal path of yoga begins with Ahimsa (non-harming). Buddhists practice radical self-acceptance with maitri (love or unconditional friendliness toward oneself). In this workshop we will explore these ideas as we sink deeply into Yin yoga shapes and then melt into the support of Restorative yoga. Yin yoga has the potential to open us up on many levels: physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Restorative yoga may provide a vital key to restoring balance and health through an extremely supportive and healing practice.
During this afternoon we will use the support of many props, the gentle pull of gravity and the laboratory of our own experience to explore how our basic ideas toward ourselves may limit us or encourage us to blossom.

Can You Hear God Crying?
Presented by Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts at Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
At the core of Can You Hear God Crying? is the Door of No Return, through which millions of enslaved Africans came to the United States. Through the fusion of West African prayers, songs and rhythms expressed through gospel, jazz, soaring choral and chamber music, a soprano deity sings strength to her people: in slave ships, in jails—and trapped in the prisons of fear into which mankind locks itself. At one point in Can You Hear God Crying?, the soprano deity and choir recreate the Middle Passage simulating the cries of kidnapped Africans as they endure the horrid journey into slavery. For anyone who has ever closed the door to wholeness, Lokumbe's music will open the heart.

They have forged a connection to world beat music and avant-garde jazz through their long association with Philly saxophone legend Byard Lancaster and didgereedoo guru and percussion powerhouse Harold Smith. The Blues Messengers believe in the power of music to bring all people together, and in the power of the blues as an ancient connection to basic life energy.

RoboCop
Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre
“RoboCop set the tone for much of Dutch auteur import Paul Verhoeven’s career in America, and not just because of Kurtwood Smith’s curt command “Bitches leave!” It was a relatively low-budget, high-concept satire in the guise of a relatively high-budget, low-concept trash-a-thon.
But it was so broad about its satiric aims—privatized, corporate America buying and selling not only the populace’s safety, but also its endangerment, thereby exponentially increasing their profit margins—that practically no one who would want to parse the flick for its subversive streaks wanted to take the film seriously. Or to not take it seriously. Or to see it as anything other than fodder for everyone who would just as soon buy that (and, well, everything) for a dollar.
Set in a future immediate enough to still be crippled by Reaganomics, RoboCop opens with the shambles of a Detroit police force losing officers to street crime by the dozens. They and the entire industrial-military complex are owned and operated by Omni Consumer Products, a behemoth corporation whose V.P. is secretly organizing and funding the underground crime and drug racket in order that the demand (and asking price) for their law-enforcement ops shoots as high as their Blade Runner skyscrapers. Though that’s merely the malfeasance of one bad apple, it’s not as though the endeavors of those on the up-and-up are much more noble. The corporation’s prime directive isn’t really to help reform and rebuild Detroit so much as it is to build an entirely new, heavily guarded city for the haves while posting burly cybernetic droids at the perimeter to keep the have-nots at bay. (The last half of George A. Romero’s similarly satirical Land of the Dead may have actually taken place in this urban oasis.)
Corporate backstabbing and a remarkably strong-willed newbie cop combine in the right place at the wrong time (i.e. when said cop gets blown away on his very first day) to allow the creation of a secret human-robot hybrid. Verhoeven juxtaposes RoboCop’s faint pulse of self-recognition against the backdrop of a dehumanizing socio-economic nightmare. (One that’s not all that far removed from reality in any era, such as the scene where a thug mocks the pointless ambition of a college student studying plane geometry while moonlighting a night shift as a gas station attendant.) But he also couples his skilled filmmaking vulgarity with a very literal vulgarity. When RoboCop comes to the assistance of a poodle-headed woman about to be sexually assaulted in a back alleyway, his keen trigger finger manages to take out the would-be rapist’s crotch by carefully shooting the bullet through the victim’s skirt—right between her thighs. Never has a gesture of chivalry seemed more…icky. Verhoeven’s best and most vulgar American work was still in front of him, but RoboCop still stands as one of the most rude-tempered, rollicking gobs of spit in the face of 1980s politics this side of John Carpenter’s They Live.” (Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine)
Directed by Paul Verhoeven. US. 1987. R. 102 min. MGM. 35mm.

Exhibition - 2012 Ed Bacon Student Design Competition
Presented by Philadelphia Center for Architecture at Philadelphia Center for Architecture
How could Philadelphia's connection to the Delaware river be improved while still allowing for the volume of traffic which travels along Interstate 95, which currently cuts off Philadelphia from it's main waterfront? View the winning entries from the 2012 Ed Bacon Student Design Competition to see some creative, ambitious, and practical solutions.
When transportation corridors such as highways and rail lines meet dense urban areas, choices must be made about how to balance the needs of the transportation modes and the lively city it intersects. Across the world, cities have found innovative solutions for addressing issues relating to large-scale urban transportation infrastructure. Recently in the U.S. cities such as San Francisco, New York, and Minneapolis have transformed highways into urban boulevards. Boston buried Interstate 93 in the famous “Big Dig,” but at a huge cost. Other cities have worked to bridge highways and rail corridors that separate downtowns from waterfronts. With international precedent for design solutions, the Center for Architecture challenges the next generation of urban thinkers to propose novel solutions to integrate Philadelphia’s major transportation corridors into its urban fabric.
The Ed Bacon Student Design Competition is run by the Philadelphia Center for Architecture in memory of Philadelphia's City Planner from 1949-1970, Edmund N. Bacon, the only city planner to ever be featured on the cover of Time magazine. The Center performs the charitable and educational work of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Architects and serves as the physical home for the Chapter in Center City Philadelphia. The Center offers walking tours, exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and children's programming on architecture, urban planning, and design. They are also home to the AIA Bookstore & Design Center and the Community Design Collaborative.

Peter Rabbit
Presented by Broadway Theatre of Pitman at Broadway Theatre of Pitman

Don White
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
If you laugh and cry within the same ten minutes, you either need a vacation or you are sitting in the audience at a Don White show. This working class family man from Lynn, Massachusetts, has emerged as the thoughtful songwriter of the decade whose relevance to our lives is evidenced by the powerful reaction he evokes at every concert. Radio audiences, too, are not safe from the Don White experience. Valerie Adams of WNCS Radio, Vermont said, "I've never seen anything like it. Every time I play I Know What Love Is the phones light up like a Christmas tree. Stereo Review Magazine called it "...a candidate for song of the year."
Don White illuminates the human experience though his writing and performing. His motivation for doing so is eloquently expressed in the spoken word piece he performs after singing "Heartbeat of Heaven." Whether he is singing, speaking, or setting up the sneakiest punch line of the night, Don has the hearts of his audience. They know they have his.

New Jerusalem, The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656
Presented by Lantern Theater Company at St. Stephen's Theater
As the Inquisition bears down on them, a small Jewish community flees Portugal to find a tenuous peace in seemingly liberal Amsterdam. But Spinoza, a favorite son of the community and the rabbi's heir apparent, is a revolutionary thinker. When the boldness of his ideas strains the bounds of Amsterdam's professed tolerance, it leads to a dangerous confrontation between powerful political forces and his own beloved community. Based on true events in the life of one of the greatest philosophers in history, this recent off-Broadway hit from playwright David Ives challenges traditional political and religious thinking with conviction, passion, and wit.

Spuyten Duyvil
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
"Spuyten Duyvil's songs draw on the roots of American music and history, but in the hands of eight superb performers they crackle with energy that's both contemporary and downright irresistible." —John Platt, Director of Communications & Special Projects, "Sunday Breakfast" Host WFUV Radio
"With "New Amsterdam", Spuyten Duyvil delivers a wonderfully boisterous collection of songs that define what "roots" music should sound like. Spuyten Duyvil roll like an old time tent show, but instead of selling worthless snake oil, they deliver a package of gems, well crafted tunes and stories that are pure fun to listen to." —Ron Olesko, "Traditions"Producer/Host WFDU
"Wow… from the opening notes on New Amsterdam, the energy, the excitement, and the pure joy of playing and singing together is palpable. Spuyten Duyvil is more than a band, it’ s a community. Infectious and fun- inviting us in to sing, dance, and celebrate. I’ m basking in their musical glow." —Joe Crookston, Songwriter/Performing Artist
"From the first note Spuyten Duyvil grabs your attention, drawing you in with their joyful, uplifting and spirited music. This is contemporary old time music at its best played with heart, soul and sass." —Maggi Landau, Producer, Caramoor American Roots Music Festival
"I can't remember when I enjoyed an evening of music more than at the WFUV Living Room show watching Spuyten Duyvil. The group possesses an incredible musical energy that was immediately infectious to everyone. It was like getting your favorite friends together to play and they all happened to be really great musicians!" —Tina Shafer, Artistic Director of SongCircleMusic (songwriting credits include Celine Dion, Phoebe Snow, and Donna Summer)

Deathtrap
Presented by Hedgerow Theatre at Hedgerow Theatre
Ira Levin’s comic thriller combines fiendishly clever plot twists with an equal mix of suspense and dark humor, making audiences scream with both laughter and terror. The plot involves Sidney Bruhl, a once successful playwright who’s desperate for a hit after a series of flops. When a student in his playwriting class comes up with the perfect script, Sidney and his wife devise a scheme to publish it under his name—even if he has to murder the young man to get it. This Tony-nominated play ran for four years on Broadway.

Dive Deep: Eric Fischl and the Process of Painting
Presented by Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)
Eric Fischl (born 1948) is known for his representational painting focusing on the American suburban experience. This exhibition explores Fischl’s rigorous and iterative creative process and encourages viewers to see the world through his eyes, with sharpened powers of observation and insight. Eric Fischl includes more than ten pivotal canvases dating from 1979 to the present, each accompanied by a constellation of related studies in various media—drawings, oil sketches, sculptures, digital composites, photographs, and prints. Most of the studies included in this exhibition have never before been made available for public viewing and provide a revealing look into the painter’s provocative visual intelligence. Together these works illustrate Fischl’s process as a synthesis of astute observation and interpretation.

Loop 2.4.3 with James Armstrong
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Praised for their "taut compositions with a stunning improvisational sense" (Time Out Chicago) and their "intricate, energetic performances," (New York Times) the percussion-based ensemble, Loop 2.4.3, creates and performs original music that resonates with American musical traditions of Jazz, rock and roll, and contemporary classical chamber music. Their music has been described as "transportive percussion odysseys," (The Boston Phoenix) "dramatic, layered, colorful and brilliantly constructed," (FirstCoastNews.com) and full of "action-adventures and reveries.” (NPR) “Loop 2.4.3 redefines [percussion] as tuneful, melodic instruments capable of expressing more than base emotions.” (Alarm Magazine) Loop 2.4.3 is founded on the work of the New York Percussion Duo (composers and performers Thomas Kozumplik and Lorne Watson). After the release of their first album for percussion duo, Batterie, Kozumplik and Watson expanded their writing to encompass strings, electronics, and voices. Often compared to the voices of Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Harry Partch, Loop 2.4.3’s music conveys a deep humanity and warmth that carries the listener from grounded primal energy to cosmic atmospheric reaches. “If Partch had been warmer, more linear and had a better sense of dramatic narrative, he might have made music like this.” (Fresh Air – NPR) Loop 2.4.3 is an original voice that "all sounds like part of a well-thought-out tradition. Only the tradition has never existed until now." (Milo Miles, Fresh Air - NPR)

The Mystery of Edwin Drood The Solve-It-Yourself Musical
Presented by Broadway Theatre of Pitman at Broadway Theatre of Pitman
This wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe) "puts on" it's flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Charles Dickens mystery. The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Miss Bud, in turn, is engaged to Jasper's nephew, young Edwin Drood. Things really start to get interesting when our title character mysteriously disappears one stormy Christmas Eve. This seems suspicious and the signs point to foul play, but has Edwin Drood actually been murdered? And if so, then who's the culprit? Musical numbers include "The Wage of Sin," "Perfect Strangers," "Both Sides of the Coin," "Don't Quit While You're Ahead" and "Moonfall. The giddy playfulness of this play-within-a-play draws the audience toward one of Drood's most talked about features, in which the audience is asked to vote on one of seven possible solutions as prelude to the most unusual and hilarious finale!
This show is a musical murder mystery.

Minas
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
As a prominent member of the Philadelphia Jazz community, Minas frequently performs original music in concert. The group's repertoire includes selections from its 4 independent releases, Num Dia Azul, Dreams of Brazil, Blue Azul, and In Rio, as well as selective Brazilian standards. Minas' original sound is defined by the unique blend between Orlando and Patricia's vocals and the interaction of their Brazilian classical guitar and cool jazz piano. The full ensemble's rich instrumental harmonies, creative solos, and the complex layers of rhythms, rooted in traditional samba rhythms, provides an evening of uplifting, sophisticated, and unique music.
In concert, Minas typically performs at festivals, art centers, college/universities, jazz series, and at smaller venues such as listening clubs and coffeehouses.
At the core of any Minas show are the voices of the duo, which reflects two decades of vocal and instrumental blending. Warm and engaging, this magical sound becomes infectious when Minas adds bass, drums, percussion and horns to Orlando's guitar and Patricia's keyboards. One can experience Minas in a variety of formats, intimately, as a duo or trio, and in exciting venues with larger ensembles up to orchestra and Big Band arrangements. Orlando and Patricia have been composing original material together since the moment of their first meeting in 1974. Their recorded material consists exclusively of originals.

Alla Prima Still Life Painting
Presented by Artists of Yardley at AOY Art Center
“Alla Prima Still Life Painting” with David Shevlino. Students of All Levels Welcome. The focus of this class will be on Alla Prima (direct wet into wet) oil painting and the various techniques used to create a fresh, spontaneous response to your subject matter while the paint is still wet. After an initial demonstration, students will work on their own by applying paint in large tonal patches and refining/adding details as they move along. This class will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely, use brush strokes economically and take advantage of the inherent beauty of wet oil paint. David Shevlino studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (certificate ’84) and the University of Pennsylvania (BFA ’92). His work has been featured in national publications and he has exhibited his paintings in solo and group exhibitions through out the U.S. He has also produced two DVDs about his artwork and painting methods.

It Pays to Advertise
Presented by East Lynne Theater Company at First Presbyterian Church - Cape May
It Pays to Advertise, a “farcical fact” in three acts by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter C. Hackett, was a hit on Broadway in 1914. This screwball comedy was twice made into a movie: a silent in 1919, and in 1931 with Carole Lombard. The premise – and promise – that anything can be sold is at its core, but it also examines the very nature and romance of advertising. Decades before AMC's Mad Men, this clever farce demonstrates that an ad campaign might be better than the product. All it takes is one adventurous young man to announce, “Advertising is responsible for everything!” and he and his two friends are off and running in this mad romp, with a cast of 10.

David Berkely
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
David Berkeley is a romantic realist, known for his ability to look at the human condition in all its complexity and give us luminous songs full of sunshine and anguish, melancholy and delight. He brings the people and situations he sings about to vibrant life with a warm, rich tenor that often slips into an aching falsetto to underline the overwhelming emotions that can move us to tears or laughter. On Some Kind of Cure, his fourth studio album, Berkeley delivers some of his most heartfelt tunes blending folk, rock, and classic pop to create timeless expressions of love and longing.
In concert, Berkeley wins crowds over with his low-key charisma and hilarious between song banter. He usually introduces songs with long, intricate anecdotes and branching commentaries, using a manner that’s more front porch than show biz, relaxing people without any apparent effort to be funny, a difficult balance to achieve. He weaves together fact, fiction and hyperbole into stories that often leave audiences in hysterics without resorting to obvious punch lines. His on stage narratives rarely repeat themselves and are full of the same astutely observed details that propel his songs.

Zach Brock and the Magic Number
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Having found a collaborative niche for himself in New York's vast jazz community, Zach Brock's next grand artistic step was finding a way to promote his name and his music.
The Magic Number is Brock's new band of violin, bass and drums. The format seemed remarkably direct and simple, even though few recordings exist of trios with a similar instrumental makeup.
"Within a jazz context, I was thinking of albums like Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard," Brock said. "There was just a lot of open space with those kinds of trios. But the violin doesn't have to play like a horn (Rollins is a legendary jazz saxophonist). I can play more than one note at a time. But I can't do, say, what a guitar can with all of those big chords. So you have to get into inferring things more than spelling them out. It forces me to choose what notes can bring out the color of a chord."

The Belle of Amherst by William Luce - A Play Based on the Life of Emily Dickinson
Presented by Cape May Stage Professional Equity Theatre at Cape May Stage Professional Equity Theatre
The Belle of Amherst delicately explores the life of America's greatest woman poet at various stages in her experience from the age of 15, when she was full of hope and success, until she died at 56, a virtual recluse with her door closed against society. Emily Dickinson’s life is recreated with liberal excerpts from her poetry and by the method of her playing the roles of her father, teacher and friends. Don’t miss what the Boston Globe says is "one of the most singularly beautiful evenings ever spent in the theater."

Presented by Philadelphia Zoo at Philadelphia Zoo
Trail of the Lorax is a 3-dimensional interactive experience that shares the true story of a species in peril: the endangered orangutan. Brought to you in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P., this engaging exhibit tells a story of conservation and of saving wildlife. The Trail will engage guests of all ages in the true tale of the orangutan, who depends on trees just as the brown-bar-a loots and the humming fish depend on the truffula trees.
Grab your 3-D glasses and follow a trail of clues left by The Lorax himself. Learn amazing facts about the orangutan as you explore the action stations located around the Zoo. Test your grip strength and learn how the orangutan gathers its food, and learn about palm oil and how your choices can help orangutans in the wild. As you pass through First Niagara Big Cat Falls, watch a colorful mini-movie featuring characters from the movie Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax.
Your adventure culminates at the Lorax Loft, a fantastical play and learning environment featuring a thicket of “vines” on which children can swing and explore and a make-believe pond for fishing and the Lorax’s hammock, inspired by the real life bedding of orangutans in the wild.

Gene Shay Presents Kim and Reggie Harris
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Consummate musicians and storytellers, Kim and Reggie Harris combine a strong folk and gospel legacy with a solid background in classical, rock, jazz and pop music. Creative curiosity, years of road and stage experience and interactions with performers such as Pete Seeger, Ysaye Barnwell, Jay Leno, Tom Paxton, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Harry Belafonte and others, has led them to produce music that entertains and inspires.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, a city rich in cultural and musical heritage, Kim and Reggie's early exposure to the diversity of musical styles and genres was nurtured in the schools and churches of their youth. Audiences at venues such as The Kennedy Center, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Smithsonian Institute, Reunion Arena in TX, the Psalm Festival in Graz, Austria, as well as a myriad of theatre arts centers, festivals, universities and schools, have given this inspiring duo standing ovations for their vibrant performances.

Gina Sicilia Band
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Exposed to music early on by her music-loving family, Gina began singing at the age of 3 and wrote her first song at the tender age of 12. Upon hearing blues legend Bobby Bland for the first time at the age of 14, she became instantly enthralled by the raw emotion and power of blues and soul. After spending her teenage years polishing her vocal and songwriting skills, Gina began singing in clubs around the Philadelphia area, and has since branched out worldwide.
As an artist who has been performing on the blues circuit for only a few short years, it is obvious to see that Gina's star is rising, and it is rising fast.
More than just a throwback to the great blues and soul vocalists of the '50s and '60s, Gina uniquely separates herself from the pack of current vocalists with a style that is distinctive, magnetic, and anything but cliche.
Now an internationally touring artist, Gina's ability to evolve as a vocalist and songwriter is boundless. This is only the beginning for Gina Sicilia, as she will undoubtedly continue to make her mark among the new generation of musical artists.

Election 2012
Presented by National Constitution Center at National Constitution Center
At the National Constitution Center, the presidential election comes to life for visitors of all ages! Prior to touring the Center’s exhibits, guests are encouraged to stop by Election HQ on the Grand Hall Overlook. Designed with the festive look and feel of a political rally, Election HQ will excite and engage visitors with activities and programs about the ins and outs of the election process. Guests can watch presidential campaign ads, cast a vote for their favorite presidential candidate in the Center’s gumball poll, track primary results, create campaign buttons, register to vote, and more!
Once inside the Center’s main exhibition The Story of We the People, guests will be in the heart of Election Central. A highlight of this experience is the Center’s brand new voting booth exhibit – created in partnership with fast-growing Internet startup ElectNext – which revolutionizes how visitors approach the voting process. Like eHarmony for voters, the interactive technology matches visitors to the presidential candidate who best aligns with their views on key issues – and the results may be surprising! Once matched with a candidate, visitors will have the opportunity to cast a vote and watch as live results are displayed on a large screen in the exhibition.
Visitors also can join in the “Can You Vote?” program to learn about the history of voting in America and how different groups fought to be included in this important civic responsibility. Participants in the popular “Hail to the Chief” trivia program will be quizzed about the most memorable elections in American history, including Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams, George W. Bush vs. Al Gore, and more.

Bryn Bowers
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
From his rather unglamorous beginning as a street singer, Bryan Bowers has become a major artist on the traditional music circuit. He has redefined the autoharp and is also well known as a singer-songwriter. Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd in practically any situation. His towering frame can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like "Dixie," and five minutes later he can have the same audience singing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" in quiet reverence and delight.
For nearly three decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the five-string banjo. He presents instrumental virtuosity combined with warmth, eloquence, expression and professionalism.

Meg Braun and Brittany Ann
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Meg Braun is a Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter known for her fearless writing, her dynamic vocal style and performances that have charmed audiences from California to Texas and throughout the Northeast.
In 2011, Meg released her second CD of original songs, Broken Places. Produced by Tom Prasada-Rao in his Richardson, Texas, studio, these songs explore the facets of brokenness both in relationships and the world, and how surviving makes us each stronger.
http://megbraun.com/
Brittany Ann (of Easton, PA) could sing before she could talk, or so says her mother. Growing up, when her father wasn’t serenading her and her sisters, she would sometimes pick up his guitar and teach herself some chords.
She eventually attended the Lehigh Valley Charter School for the Performing Arts in Bethlehem, PA with a concentration in vocal music. Around this same time, she became enamored with legendary song crafters like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell and continued building on her growing musical prowess. Brittany began penning one heartfelt song after another, weaving the sophisticated folk tapestry that would come full circle in 2010 on The Good in That, her first full-length studio recording, a collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Glenn Barratt.

Featuring classic songs such as "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat," "I'll Know," "Sue Me, "Guys and Dolls" and, of course, "Luck Be A Lady," we can think of no better way to complete the sixth Season here at the Broadway than with this spectacular show.

Beaucoup Blue with Angelo M
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Beaucoup Blue is the Americana Philadelphia-based duo of David and Adrian Mowry. Father and son have been performing their roots based music nationally and internationally as a duo, quartet and on occasion quintet. Bridging many gaps in American music, their soulful traditional and contemporary styles mesh into an innovative and authentic sound. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they base their love in music from folk, soul, R&B, jazz, country and bluegrass. All these interests and influences come out in their original song-writing in a unique way. A handsome range of instruments like six and twelve string guitars, slide guitar, round neck resonator guitar, combined with two soulful voices, encompasses a rich and honest feel, noticeably influenced by familial ties.
http://www.beaucoupblue.com
After a mill bankruptcy that cost him his pension, Angelo M. (short for Melasecca) made the unlikely transition from steelworker to touring artist and hasn’t looked back. He’s an award-winning Americana songwriter and master finger style & slide guitarist with a blues bent in the vein of Chris Smither, Keb Mo and Lucinda Williams. With guitar influences from the likes of Ry Cooder, Chet Atkins, Duane Allman and Leo Kottke, reviews hail Angelo M. a “Brilliant Guitarist” with an “Excellent Voice” and call his performance “Powerful”. After two successful self released albums this roots enriched folk artist got Nashville's attention signing a recording contract with Music City Veterans in mid 2011. Angelo M.’s 2012 debut label release "From Steel to Strings” features 16 original tracks that showcase Angelo and all his assets.
He's a humble blue collar man from a Pennsylvania steel mill, but there’s nothing understated about the talent of this bluesy virtuoso finger style player and award winning songwriter. Armed with a six string, Dobro, mandolin & harp, he’s down and dirty, no holds barred – an authentic link in the roots-Americana chain as a singer, player and songwriter. With authenticity at the core of Angelo’s writing and performances; his songs, autobiographical at times, are soulfully sung and seasoned with experience and retrospection.

Dan May Band
Presented by PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music at PSALM - The Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music
Singer-songwriter Dan May’s career path has taken more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a hurricane. He has worked as a grave-digger, television cameraman, short-order cook, nuclear missile security guard, gas station attendant, ice cream truck driver, delivery man, amusement park worker and greenhouse laborer; all before the age of 25.
While studying music composition in college, he inadvertently stumbled upon an international opera career that forced him to leave a promising future as a songwriter behind. Cut to 15 years later, and after a vocal chord surgery that left him no longer able to meet the demands of opera, Dan returned to doing what he does best: writing and performing his own songs.
Since his crossover from classical to popular music, Dan has hit the ground running. With three critically acclaimed albums already under his belt, his latest release, Dying Breed, has quickly become his most successful project to date.

Rita Coolidge
Presented by Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts at Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts
Most music fans have a favorite song recorded by two-time GRAMMY® award-winner Rita Coolidge? “Fever,” “We’re All Alone,” “One Fine Day,” “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher & Higher,” “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” “All Time High,” “Superstar,” and so many other memorable tracks that topped the charts from the 1970′s onward. It is perhaps due to Coolidge’s pop and rock pedigree that many of her fans are unaware of her longstanding affection for jazz, however. Her debut release for Concord Records,And So Is Love, a collection of well-loved jazz standards, is sure to change all that. It will also undoubtedly add a few jazz chestnuts to that lengthy list of songs Coolidge has already made her own.
In all her musical endeavors, Coolidge has remained true to a sense of spirit, of discovery, of meaningful contribution, and of paying respect to those who’ve come before her.

Tempus Fugit: Time Flies
Presented by American Philosophical Society Museum at American Philosophical Society Museum
Time flies, leaving its mark on the people and objects it touches. This exhibition explores how we try to capture, measure, and find meaning in the midst of time’s inevitable passage. The show includes books, manuscripts, and curiosities from the historic APS collections along with drawings, paintings, collages, videos, and a sound work by contemporary artist Antonia Contro, who selected the APS objects and juxtaposed her own works in response to them. A tiny 1805 topographic model of the Alps is shown with Contro’s Alpine Shoe sculpture; old prints and photographs of curious cloud formations are echoed in a “cloud” video by the artist; and a ticket to Charles Darwin’s funeral inspired the image of a fluttering butterfly wing.

Third Thursday of every month Comedian Deconstruction combines both comedy art forms of improv and stand-up into one great show! Two comedians will each be paired with an improv team.

Driving Tours of Lancaster County & Amish Attractions
Presented by Awfully Nice Tours at Lancaster Historic Downtown
Only an hour to 90 minutes out of Philadelphia lies the beautiful landscaped scenery of Lancaster County, home of many Amish and Mennonite families, and a popular tourist destination. Both the Amish and Mennonite religions are Anabaptist in their foundation, although it is the Amish that people generally come to see, because of their strict adherence to a number of principles (known as the ordnung). In particular, the Amish people do not drive motorized vehicles, wear very similar clothing, one to another, ride around in buggies pulled by beautifully kept horses, use simple farm machinery to work their fields, forgo the use of electricity in the homes and hang their washing out to dry on long lines, raised high above their yards. Depending on the length of your tour, you will drive along many of the country roads that criss-cross the area, view a 40-minute movie about growing up as an Amish boy, take a buggy ride of your own desired length, visit a local bakery, tour a museum set up as the Amish have lived for more than two centuries in the area, and you’ll get the chance to buy souvenirs at one of the many craft stores and quilt shops.

Valley Forge Driving Tours
Presented by Awfully Nice Tours at Valley Forge National Historical Park
The Valley Forge encampment is a hugely important story in the foundation of America. After retreating from the Battle of Brandywine, General Washington moved his army to the high ground at Valley Forge in December of 1777. Over the next 6 months, battling the cold, disease, desertion and famine, the army amazingly grew in numbers and strength and, with the help of Baron von Steuben, was transformed into a well trained fighting force, that ultimately went on to win the war against the British. The tour includes a drive around the The Valley Forge National Historic Park, which today is a beautifully kept and landscaped, natural setting, filled with deer and birds. Regimental monuments dot the drive as well as re-creations of the huts used by the men (and women) who camped here. You’ll have many chances to get out and wander among the huts, take photos across the park and you’ll visit the site of George Washington’s headquarters and visit the Washington Memorial Chapel built in the early 1900s to commemorate this unique part of history. Your tour guide will regale you with many stories and then take you to the Visitor Center, where you can see a short movie about the encampment, browse in the store and visit the museum area.

Philadelphia Churches Tour
Presented by Awfully Nice Tours at Center City Philadelphia
So much of the history of Philadelphia was formed by its churches. When William Penn first arrived to build the city he was determined to welcome any and all denominations, to ensure that the persecution he had known was not copied here. As a result, many different religious groups set up home here and there are many historic churches in a small area. As well, the first African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Mother Bethel A.M.E Church was established here by Richard Allen in 1794. You’ll get to see as many churches as we can fit in the time, inside and out, choosing from Christ Church, where George Washington, John Adams and Betsy Ross all worshipped, St. George’s Methodist, St. Augustine’s Catholic, Arch Street Meeting House, the largest Quaker Meeting House in the world, Mother Bethel, St. Peter’s, The Pine Street Presbyterian, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, and many others.

And after a fact-packed late afternoon Grim Philly walk, you’ll rest your weary bones at the Triumph Brewery for cold beer and hot food samples just in time for a late afternoon lunch/early dinner.

This series of wall drawings is intended to present an alternative view of powerful natural phenomena.

Appreciation of the beauty of nature, and of the power of these four phenomena, will necessarily be part of these new solutions.
