The legacy of women in comedy has been a favorite theme throughout 1812’s history, starting in 2004 with an original twohander, “Always a Lady,” that featured a variety of classic material from female performers of the early 20th century. Since then, 1812 has celebrated the works of The Cherry Sisters, in the original musical “Cherry Bomb,” Joan Rivers, and Phyllis Diller in soldout special events. “Broads” continues this tradition with material from Ida Cox (The Uncrowned Queen of the Blues), Trixie Friganza (Vaudevillian and suffragette), Belle Barth and Pearl Williams (The Red Hot Mamas), and music from Bessie Smith, Ruth Wallis, Rusty Warren (Bounce Your Boobies, It’s Great to be a Broad), and many more.

EVEN MORE EVENTS “Facing the Past: UPenn’s Ties to Slavery” Program Professor Kathleen Brown and Public History Fellow VanJessica Gladney (Class of 2018) will discuss the impetus behind the creation of the Penn and Slavery student research project in Fall 2017 and some of its findings, 11 a.m. on Sunday, January 27, at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 S. Rittenhouse Square. All are welcome. More information at office@phillyethics.org or 215-735-3456 or visit www.phillyethics.org.

The University of Pennsylvania, while not itself a slaveholding institution, was complicit in slavery in a number of historically significant ways, including its credentialing of generations of doctors who returned to the slaveholding South to “practice” plantation medicine on the bodies of enslaved people, exhausted and injured from coerced plantation labor. Kathleen Brown is the David Boies Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and the Director of the Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality, and Women. VanJessica Gladney is a 2018 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and a Public History Fellow for the Penn and Slavery Project. This is part of 400 Years, an ongoing series of programs at the Philadelphia Ethical Society exploring the history of slavery, its experience and impact on systemic racism today.

T HE P HILADELPHIA O RCHESTRA AND S HANGHAI P HILHARMONIC O RCHESTRA TO P ERFORM Free Concert for Chinese New Year – January 29, 2019 s a gift to the communities of Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Orchestra will present a free concert in celebration of the Year of the Pig, joining the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) for a special one-night-only performance in Verizon Hall on January 29, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. Assistant Conductor Kensho Watanabe will share the podium with the SPO’s Resident Conductor Liang Zhang, leading members of both orchestras in a side-by-side concert featuring the world premiere of the newly revised version of PengPeng Gong’s Symphony No. 10 (“Peking Fantasy”), a work co-commissioned by The Philadelphia Orchestra and the SPO. Tickets to the Chinese New Year concert are free and can be reserved at www.philorch.org/ChineseNewYear.

Inspired by the artistic power of Peking Opera, Peng-Peng Gong’s Symphony No. 10 translates the emotional and philosophical experience of the art form for international audiences. Scored for a large orchestra of over 100 players, the work incorporates numerous styles to capture different emotions and atmospheres. Among the symphony’s distinctive features are an offstage trumpet mourning for the heroine of The Drunken Beauty; a quoting of the ancient zither composition “Mad for Wine;” an imaginary portrayal of Peking Opera legend Mei Lanfang’s visit to New York in 1930; a variation on Mei’s signature sword dance from Farewell My Concubine; and the repeating, thundering percussion strikes typical of traditional Peking Opera performances.

“The Philadelphia Orchestra believes in making great music accessible to our communities,” said Philadelphia Orchestra President and CEO Matías Tarnopolsky. “We look forward to opening our doors in celebration of Chinese New Year, and

A

to welcoming our friends from China for an evening of shared music-making that showcases the partnership between our two cultures.”

The Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, part of the Shanghai Media Group’s Performing Arts Division, is a long-term strategic partner of The Philadelphia Orchestra. The two ensembles have worked together since 2016 to advance cultural exchange between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. Joint activities have included a 2016 side-by-side concert to celebrate the grand opening of Disney Shanghai, musician coaching and a chamber music performance at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center in 2017, and a residency program in the summer of 2017 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

“The Shanghai Media Group and the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra have been exceptional partners in developing an innovative model of people-to-people exchange, and we are delighted to welcome them to Philadelphia for this side-by-side performance,” said Tarnopolsky. “As we mark the 40th anniversary of official diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China, we look forward to continuing to forge meaningful connections between our cultures and communities through music.”

In 1973, The Philadelphia Orchestra became the first American orchestra to perform in the People’s Republic of China, at the request of President Richard Nixon. The Orchestra returned to China 20 years later and has since returned regularly, representing a bridge for cultural, educational, and diplomatic exchange.

1812 Productions Presents Comedy Cabaret “Broads” Continued from front page

“While choosing material for this show, a theme that quickly became apparent was ‘being unafraid,’” says the show’s curator and director, Jennifer Childs. “These women were telling stories that men could laugh at because they were sensational, and that women could laugh at because they were, however outrageous, true—and they were risking career and reputation to do it. They were taking control of their material, being 1812 Productions’ risqué, speaking their minds, and making the kind of “Broads” features comedy they wanted to make.” She continues, “SomePhiladelphia performers Jess Conda thing that has made this process really special, given (shown), Joilet Harris, the new women’s movement that America is embarking on, is listening to material from performers like and Mary Elizabeth Sophie Tucker, Belle Barth, or Fanny Brice, and hearScallen. Photo/ ing the connections between their styles and comediMark Garvin ans like Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, or Tiffany Haddish.

There are these amazing comedy threads that are as hysterical today as they were 70 years ago. As somebody once said, ‘Everyone has a little Mae West in them.’”

“Broads” features Philadelphia performers Jess Conda, Joilet Harris, and Mary Elizabeth Scallen. All are Barrymore Award-nominated performers and all are making their 1812 Productions debuts in “Broads.” Ms. Harris has given powerhouse performances in plays, musicals, and cabarets across the region for more than 35 years. Ms. Scallen has been a resident performer at People’s Light in Malvern for the past 28 years. Ms. Conda is a veteran of Philadelphia’s burlesque and cabaret communities, performing with Martha Graham Cracker, Bearded Ladies, and Peek-A-Boo Revue. Ms. Scallen says, “Times may change but a broad’s ‘job’ remains the same; to remind the people around her which game they’re actually playing, who’s winning, who’s losing, and what’s really at stake. Mae West and Moms Mabley and Sophie Tucker, all the broads that came before them, and all the broads that have come after them, continue to violate taboos, break conventions, and highlight hypocrisies. They expose more authentic ways to live in a complex world. Broads help us find our way back to our truest, bravest, frankest selves—and show us how to have a good time along the way.”

“Broads” is part of the second annual Philly Theatre Week, an initiative of Theater Philadelphia. This region-wide celebration features over 100 unique events from February 7 - February 17. Information about this and other Philly Theatre Week events can be found at www.phillytheatreweek.com.

“Broads” will play at Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Place in Center City from February 13 - February 24. Tickets and information can be found at www.1812productions.org.

Dr. White, Archaeobotanist at the Penn Museum, currently conducts research projects at Lechaion, the Roman port of Corinth in Greece, and much closer to home at Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia. She will discuss how botanical remains have been preserved at these archaeological sites and how plants are helping us understand daily life in a coastal Roman village more than 1,500 years ago. She will also discuss the plant remains recently studied from Bartram’s eighteenth-century home that provide intriguing evidence for early garden activities in historical Philadelphia.

Celebrating an Archive of L.A.’s Latinx Youth Culture at Haverford’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery our women in baggy jeans and red lipstick stand on a bridge with the haze of Los Angeles smog in the background. A teenager with a faint mustache in an oversized Dallas Cowboys jersey poses with his arms around the waist of a girl in a crop top. The colorful striped shirts and bleached hair of four members of the Swing Kids party crew pop against a photographer’s plain gray dropcloth. These are just a few of the snapshots collected by Guadalupe Rosales’ Instagram account Veteranas and Rucas, which chronicles the stories of Southern California’s Latinx youth for its more than 183,000 followers.

Though her Instagram began with her own personal photos from growing up in L.A.’s Boyle Heights neighborhood in the 1990s, they grew to include crowd-sourced images and other ephemera connected to L.A.’s Latinx youth culture. Guided by an instinct to create counternarratives, Rosales’ Instagram archive tells the stories of communities often underrepresented in official archives and public memory. She views such work as a way of decriminalizing and reframing the history of brown youth, as well as connecting and reconstituting community.

Created in collaboration with nonprofit photography foundation Aperture, “Guadalupe Rosales: Legends Never Die, A Collective Memory” gathers photos and related memorabilia to translate these stories from phone screens to the walls of Haverford College’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery. For this exhibition, which extends from a feature in Aperture’s Fall 2018 issue, “Los Angeles,” Rosales presents an installation of materials from her archives—from photobooth images of couples to young Chicanx women posing with cars to the party crews that ran East L.A.’s underground music scene in the 1990s.

Guadalupe Rosales is an artist and archivist based in Los Angeles. She is founder and operator of Veteranas & Rucas and Map Pointz, digital archives accessible through Insta-

F

gram. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at the Vincent Price Art Museum, Monterey Park, California; Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles; Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami. In 2016, Rosales took over The New Yorker’s social media for a week and it was one of the top-rated takeovers of the year. Her subsequent role as the inaugural Instagram Artist in Residence at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was featured in The Los Angeles Times, Artsy, and Artforum.

She has lectured at numerous museums and academic institutions, including the University of California, Los Angeles; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the New Museum, New York; New York University; and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, among others. She received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016.

“Guadalupe Rosales: Legends Never Die, A Collective Memory” will be on view January 25 through March 8 at Haverford College’s Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery. Join for an artist talk and reception on January 25, from 4:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Haverford College is located at 370 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford, PA 19041. Visit www.exhibits.haverford.edu/legendsneverdie.

Overseen by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and located in Whitehead Campus Center, the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery is open Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesdays until 8 p.m.

Act II Playhouse Presents “Becoming Dr. Ruth” Jan. 22 - Feb. 17 ct II Playhouse in Ambler presents Becoming Dr. Ruth, a play by Mark St. Germain about the surprising story behind America’s favorite sex therapist and pop culture icon, on stage for four weeks only, January 22 - February 17, 2019.

Americans know Dr. Ruth as the petite older woman dispensing frank sex advice on TV with a distinct German accent. But before she became a star, Dr. Ruth had an incredible journey filled with heartbreak, danger, and triumph.

“Becoming Dr. Ruth” reveals the story of her inspiring life: first as Karola Ruth Siegel, a child who escaped the Nazis; then as a sniper for the Haganah in Jerusalem facing unimaginable dangers; and finally as a struggling single mother and teacher in America who found unexpected success and fame.

“Becoming Dr. Ruth” stars acclaimed actress Drucie McDaniel (seen in the movies “Twelve Monkeys” and “Girl, Interrupted”), and is directed by Dan O’Neil.

The play opens in Ambler just as interest in Dr. Ruth’s amazing story is mounting. Coincidentally the same night “Becoming Dr. Ruth” opens in Ambler, “Ask Dr. Ruth,” a new doc-

umentary about her life, premieres at the Sundance Film Festival.

“Like many of us, I knew of Dr. Ruth Westheimer: iconic pop-culture figure and sex therapist,” Artistic Director Tony Braithwaite said. “And when we think of Dr. Ruth, several things leap to mind: her frankness, her height (4 foot 7), her accent, and maybe even the dozens of comedians who did impressions of her on SNL and elsewhere! The reason I chose this show is because I think people will have to pick their jaw up off the floor when they find out what they didn’t know: that long before she became iconic Dr. Ruth, Karola Ruth Siegel went from Nazi Germany, to an orphanage in Switzerland, to being trained as a scout and a sniper, to being wounded in the Israeli War of Independence. And this was all before the age of 20!”

Tickets for “Becoming Dr. Ruth” at Act II Playhouse are $31-$45. Discounts are available for subscribers, students, group of 10 or more, and seniors (65+). Tickets are available online at http://www.act2.org, by calling the Act II box office at 215-654-0200, or in person at 56 E. Butler Avenue in Ambler, PA.

Local 9/11 Widow of Pilot of United Flight 175 to Share Personal Experience at Launch of Speakers’ Series fter a tragedy, being a survivor isn’t the hardest part—moving on and continuing your life is the true challenge and few know more about that than Miriam Horrocks-Isenberg.

On September 11, 2001 her husband, Michael Horrocks, was the First Officer (co-pilot) of United Airlines Flight 175, a regularly scheduled flight from Boston’s Logan Airport to Los Angeles when the plane was hijacked by terrorists and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. While the world watched the horrific events unfold on TV, Miriam and her two small children lived them.

Now remarried, Miriam shares her story of overcoming tragedy and how she’s created a new way of living because of it. She will share her story on Tuesday, February 5, 7:30 p.m. at the Penn Valley Elementary School Auditorium, 301 Righters Mill Road, Narberth, PA 19072.

She is a part of a speakers’ series sponsored by Chabad of the Main Line. The event is open to the public, registration is required and tickets are $18 for adults and free for students and teens.

Chabad of the Main Line Rabbi Mendy Cohen explained, “Chabad radiates a message of hope and positivity, even when darkness stares you in the eye. We are so excited for Miriam Horrocks-Isenberg to speak as she is a living example of that principle. It is one thing to study about these concepts philosophically. But it is a whole different experience when you can be in the room with an individual who applied timeless principles to their present lives of intense challenge.”

In the face of evil, Miriam embraced her faith and continued to move forward with the love and support of her family, friends, community and country. The grace she received provided the strength and courage she needed to crawl out from under her grief and create a life filled with joy and happiness. Miriam shares her story in order to motivate and encourage others through their own life journey.

In 2014, Miriam faced a cancer diagnosis. She applied the life lessons she acquired following her 9/11 experience and embraced her cancer journey as an opportunity to deepen relationships and discover new beginnings. Against all odds, Miriam continues to find endless opportunities to live a life filled with abundance. She lives every day with a limitless potential for love, laughter, forgiveness and peace.

Today, Miriam, a West Chester University graduate is living in Media, PA with her husband, Paul Isenberg, their four children and two dogs.

Miriam shares her own personal journey through her involvement with Bringing Hope Home, the non-profit organization her husband, Paul, founded in memory of his late wife.

Miriam and Paul are committed to this organization, which provides “unexpected amazingness” financial assistance and emotional support to local families with cancer.

Haverford School Community Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy

A

N EWLY R ESTORED E ARLY K ODAKROME C OLOR P HOTOGRAPHS T ELL A MERICAN S TORIES OF THE D EPRESSION AND WWII New Exhibit at Haverford College Opens January 25 he Farm Security Agency (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) may be best known to art lovers for their small but influential photography program, which documented, between 1935 and 1944, life during the Depression and World War II. The most famous images from that program – “Migrant Mother” by Dorothea Lange, “Steel Mill and Graveyard in Bethlehem” by Walker Evans – use black-and-white photography to document post-Depression poverty, joblessness, and suffering.

But the FSA and OWI also commissioned some of the earliest color photography ever for this project. (Eastman Kodak introduced Kodachrome transparency film, creating the first manufacturing process to produce full-color-spectrum photographs, in 1936.) These Kodachrome photographs represent an unexplored history of photography. That they were lost due to bureaucratic misfiling until the ’70s – when color photography was more accepted as an art form, following William Eggleston’s 1976 exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art – only serves to make them more exceptional.

Haverford College’s Atrium Gallery will debut 50 of the FSA/OWI’s 1,616 color photographs, newly restored and printed from high-definition digital scans made from Kodachrome originals in the Library of Congress’ collection, in a new exhibit, “FSA/OWI Collection from the Library of Congress: America Photographed in Color 1939-1943.” Made by photographers Russell Lee, Marion Walcott Post, John Vachon, Jack Delano, and Alfred Palmer, among others, these color images document America as it emerged from an economic depression and began preparations for war. They show little-seen aspects of workers’ lives and industries, as do Palmer’s photographs of aviation plants and the war efforts of women workers, as well as the scope and diversity of regions and people across America, from California to the Deep South to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many of the exhibit’s photographs have been printed as paper prints for the first time, as their originals exist only as positive color transparencies. Collected and displayed together, these rare and exceptional photographs tell the story of America via the medium we still use to this day – color photography – and therefore, represents the first time we saw ourselves as we do today.

“FSA/OWI Collection from the Library of Congress: America Photographed in Color 19391943” will be on view January 25 through April 28, at Haverford College’s Atrium Gallery in Marshall Fine Arts Center. An opening reception will be held Friday, January 25, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the gallery.

The Atrium Gallery, in Marshall Fine Arts Center, is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Haverford College is located at 370 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford, PA 19041. For information, contact Audrey A. and John L.

Next Education & Camp Issue: Feb. 6 • Ad Deadline: Prior Friday.

Students from The Haverford School participated in service activities in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday, Jan. 20 and Monday, Jan. 21. The activities benefitted organizations in the greater Philadelphia area, and included preparing lunch and dinners for the hungry, organizing donated books and clothing, and packing toiletries for those living in shelters. averford School students and families dedicated service activities to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday, January 20 and Monday, January 21. Boys of all ages participated in events designed to support organizations in and around the greater Philadelphia area.

On Sunday, January 20, boys from Haverford’s Middle School were joined by middle school girls from The Agnes Irwin School and The Baldwin School. The students made meals and assembled toiletries for the homeless. These items will be distributed to those in need by Project HOME in Philadelphia. The students also collected clothing, toiletries, and books for children and families living in poverty.

Boys from Haverford’s Lower School supported half a dozen organizations in the area with their service day on Monday, January 21. Students participated in several activities, including creating bird feeders for Sharpe Park’s Bird Sanctuary, decorating pillow cases for people at Project HOME and Life Centers of Delaware County, preparing dinner for seniors at PALM Center, and more.

The activity stations were facilitated by Upper School students, and all events were led by The Haverford School’s Service Learning program.

“Each year, we create service opportunities for students and families that honor the vision of Dr. King,” said Jini Loos, Director of Service Learning at The Haverford School. “It is a wonderful way to honor people in need, but we do not limit it to one weekend. It is important to the Haverford community that the authentic commitment to service manifests itself all year long.”

The service days were completed with Dr. King’s vision of an active citizenship and community action.

“It is easy for people to be naïve about the problems affecting our community, which is why it is so important to honor Dr. King,” said senior Jackson Overton-Clark. “Not only does it allow the Haverford community to honor his vision of putting others first, but it also introduces younger students to ways they can help in their community, and hopefully inspire a lifetime of service.”

Villanova University Art Gallery Presents Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition

he Villanova University Art Gallery invites guests to experience the work of Villanova’s own fine arts faculty with Igniting Change through Creativity, Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition of Villanova University, on display February 1 - April 12, 2019.

The Villanova University Art Gallery presents the work of Villanova’s own fine arts faculty in “Igniting Change through Creativity, Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition of Villanova University,” on display February 1 - April 12, 2019.

The Gallery will host a reception to meet the artists on Friday, February 1 from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. the Connelly Center on the Villanova campus. Convenient on-campus parking is available. More information is available on the gallery’s website at www.artgallery.villanova.edu.

Villanova studio art students know their instructors as knowledgeable, attentive teachers who bring enthusiasm and skill to the classroom; but students are not always aware that the fine arts faculty consists of active exhibitors, professional illustrators and designers whose works are prized by collectors and whose expertise is soughtafter regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Gallery Director and full professor of fine arts, Rev. Richard G. Cannuli, OSA, says, “Our students see a bit of how we work during class demonstrations, but a demo and a finished piece can be worlds apart. We assemble periodic faculty shows so that students can see more of what we do, and understand better the arc between the initial idea for a piece and the final product.”

Of course, art students aren’t the only members of the Villanova community who gain from an encounter with the faculty’s creative output. Igniting Change through Creativity will include paintings in a variety of media, both traditional and digital. There will be photographs, figure drawings, vestments, icons, scripture illuminations, and even a collection of theatrical wedding gowns. Visitors to the Villanova Art Gallery will moved by the variety and scope of the assembled works, reminded of the caliber of the artist-teachers who are essential parts of the Villanova community, and perhaps inspired to pursue their own creative interests.

The nine artist-teachers whose work will be collected in Igniting Change through Creativity are Dr. Tina Waldeier Bizzarro, Sr. Helen David Brancato, Fr. Richard G. Cannuli, Christine Clay-Gorka, Jeff Dion, Susan Kelly vonMedicus, Janus Stefanowicz, Dave Walsh, and John Welsh. Artist bios are available at www.artgallery.villanova.edu.

The Villanova University Art Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. For extended and weekend hours, and other information, contact the Art Gallery at 610-519-4612. More information is available on the Gallery’s website: www.artgallery.villanova.edu.

I Got My DNA Test Results: Now What?

January 23 – January 29, 2019

HE AL THY L IV ING

Historical Society of Pennsylvania Offers PCOM Shows Off Talents for Make-A-Wish Courses on How to Interpret DNA Test Results and Uncover Your Family History

®

y this time last year, AncestryDNA had reached an all-time sales record, having sold more than 1.7 million test kits over a single holiday season. As swabs and samples are sent off to companies like Ancestry and 23andMe in the coming weeks, professional genealogist Sydney Cruice Dixon has some words of wisdom for anyone eagerly awaiting the results: “DNA gives you more work to do, not less. This is just the beginning of your genealogy journey.”

It’s easy to see the appeal of the kits: you provide just a small sample of genetic material, and in a matter of weeks you receive a report that traces your ancient ancestry. The test results are deceptively simple and visually appealing, using maps and charts to display breakdowns of ethnicity by percentage and ancestry timelines.

But recipients often have questions and concerns. “The big stumbling block is ‘how do I interpret these results? And how do I trace my matches back to a common ancestor?’”

Cruice Dixon explains. With more than 20 years of genealogy research experience, Cruice Dixon has seen it all. “I advise my clients when they get started: be prepared for what you might find. Every family has secrets, and you might just uncover one you weren’t expecting.”

Aspiring family historians can learn more about researching their past through upcoming genealogy courses at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania: • Using DNA for Genealogy Research, starting on Tuesday, March 5.

• Foundations of Genealogy I, starting on Wednesday, March 6.

• Researching Your Irish Ancestors, starting on Tuesday, April 16.

• Researching Family in Pennsylvania, starting on Monday, July 29.

These courses are led by professional genealogists and enrollment is limited to 40 participants for a hands-on, personalized experience.

HSP holds more than 21 million items in its collections, and many of them (diaries and letters; deeds and directories) provide keys to unlocking a family’s past. HSP also offers workshops and one-on-one consultations for anyone researching their family history.

Using DNA for Genealogy Research Tuesdays, March 5 - April 9, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (skips March 26). Admission: $250. Details and Registration: https://hsp.org/calendar/using-dna-genealogy-research. DNA is an amazing new tool that can help solve difficult genealogical questions, however, it can be intimidating to master. In this 5-week course, HSP will help you to understand the basics of DNA and learn how you can use it for your genealogy research as well as its research value and limitations.

Foundations of Genealogy I Wednesdays, March 6 - May 1, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (skips March 27). Admission: $225 for Friends of HSP, $315 for General Admission. Details and Registration: https://hsp.org/calendar/foundations-genealogy-i. For beginner and experienced genealogists alike, this 8-week course will help registrants learn proven research methods to root out their most elusive ancestors, as well as how to document research findings with reliable evidence.

Researching Your Irish Ancestors Tuesdays, April 16 - May 14, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Admission: $250. Details and Registration: https://hsp.org/calendar/researching-your-irish-ancestors. Researching Irish ancestors can be a challenge. However, there are ways around the record loss of the Emerald Isle. Discover the record sets that can be used in place of the documents burned in the Irish Civil War Fire of 1922, learn the best process for Irish research to get the maximum results for your research hours, and explore the free online websites that reveal where your Irish ancestors lived.

Researching Family in Pennsylvania Monday, July 29 - Friday, August 2, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission: $450 for Friends, $490 for General Admission. Details and Registration: https://hsp.org/calendar/researching-family-pennsylvania. This week-long genealogy course is designed to explore the records and repositories available for researching ancestors in Pennsylvania. This is a complete “how to” course, training you to use the resources available at HSP and elsewhere to uncover your family’s story.

She holds an MBA from Drexel University and a BA from Penn State University. She is a member of the faculty for the Researching Family in Pennsylvania Institute and she developed the curriculum and teaches the Foundations of Genealogy courses at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

HSP is also a leading center for the documentation and study of ethnic communities and immigrant experiences in the 20th century, and one of the largest family history libraries in the country.

Part talent show, part auction, PCOM students and faculty showcased their unique talents – from singing to stand-up comedy – and attendees “bid” on each talent, to raise money for Make-a-Wish®. he Robert Berger Pediatrics Society at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) recently held its 12th annual, campus-wide talent show to benefit Make-A-Wish® Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley. Since its inception in 2007, the event has raised more than $55,000 in support of local children’s wishes.

“Each year we hold this event, it gives us another chance to help the community, and lets us do that in a really fun way,” said Vanessa Valdivia, DO class of 2021, president of the Berger Pediatrics Society.

“As Osteopathic medicine program at PCOM, it’s important for us to see how what we do affects members of the community,” added Alexandria Ross. DO class of 2021, vice-president of the Berger Pediatrics Society. “And this is a great opportunity to bring the entire campus together to support a worthy cause.”

Part talent show, part auction, students and faculty showcased their unique talents – from singing to stand-up comedy – and attendees “bid” on each talent, to raise money for Makea-Wish®. Money was also raised through ticket sales and raffles.

The event that garnered the highest bid this year was “PCOM Game Night,” an interactive skit led by Michael McGuinness, PhD, professor, anatomy, and his daughter Kylie, which raised more than $500. All told, the event raised more than $5,500.

Other acts included performances by the PCOM Pulmonics; several student singers; a duet with Lauren Noto-Bell, DO ’06, assistant professor, OMM, and Evan Nicholas, DO ’81, associate professor, OMM; and a Battle of the Bands between student band The IT Band and faculty band Faculty’s Intact.

“We’re grateful to the students at PCOM for hosting this wonderful event each year,” said Amy Stidham, community engagement coordinator at Make-A-Wish®. “The level of support from the students and faculty has been incredible, and it’s really through community events like these that Make-A-Wish is able to grant wishes for critically ill children.”

PCOM Launches “Why Weight?” – A Healthy and Evidence-Based Approach to Weight Loss hiladelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM)’s Center for Brief Therapy welcomes members of the Philadelphia community to join “Why Weight?” a behavioral weight-management program focused on weight loss and healthy lifestyle change.

This 12-week program is designed for adults who are overweight or living with obesity and offers individual counseling emphasizing slow, steady weight loss. Each week, patients will meet with a member of the “Why Weight?” team to discuss weight goals, learn and practice a variety of weight management skills, monitor calorie intake and problem-solve regarding day-to-day roadblocks that can be a challenge to long-term success with weight loss and weight management.

This particular form of treatment includes no medication, and instead focuses on helping people monitor their food and beverage intake, increase physical activity, and implement small, sustainable lifestyle changes. Participants in the program will also be weighed each week in the clinic to track results.

“Our program aims to help people to become students of their own behavior,” said Michelle Lent, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in weight management and director of “Why Weight?” “Through greater understanding of their eating patterns, as well as the development of new healthy lifestyle skills, participants will have the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve and maintain weight loss.”

The cost to participate varies based on income. Each session lasts from 30-45 minutes.

To learn more about the program and to find out if you are eligible, visit www.pcom.edu/ whyweight or call 215-871-6487.

Elmer Rice was born Elmer Reizenstein in 1892 in New York City. The Pulitzer prize-winning American playwright, director, and novelist, was known for his innovative and polemic plays. Rice graduated from the New York Law School in 1912, and soon turned to writing plays. He is best known for The Adding Machine (1923) where he adapted techniques from German Expressionist to depict the dehumanization of 20th century life. His Pulitzer Prize winning Street Scene (1929) – a starkly realistic tragedy set outside a New York City tenement building, was adapted into a musical (1947) with lyrics by Langston Hughes and music by Kurt Weill. Rice was active in the WPA Federal Theatre Project in the mid-1930s. He also championed the American Civil Liberties Union and the cause of free speech, and in the 1950s he was an opponent of U.S. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. Rice also wrote several novels and an autobiography, Minority Report (1963). A child of the tenements, Rice spent much of his youth reading, and later observed, “Nothing in my life has been more helpful than the simple act of joining the library.”

Tickets for Dream Girl are $15 - $25, and available at https://theenchanted.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 215-285-0472.

The 2019 Season marks The Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium’s 14th year presenting rarely-produced gems with an absurdist flair from authors around the globe. Known for their humorous and thoughtful interpretations of seldom seen works, the IRC’s 2018 season included critically-acclaimed sold-out productions of French playwright Jean Anouilh’s Leocadia (Time Remembered) and Tennessee Williams’ The Eccentricities of a Nightingale.

The IRC is a 501C3 non-profit organization, and a member of The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and a participant in the Barrymore Awards, a program of Theatre Philadelphia. The IRC’s 2018-2019 season is funded in part by generous grants from from Wyncote Foundation; The Samuel S. Fels Fund; The Philadelphia Cultural Fund; The Charlotte Cushman Foundation; The Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, with support also provided by PECO and administered regionally by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and the Arts & Business Council of Greater Philadelphia.

Yangming Restaurant, will hold their exciting yearly Dragon and Lion Dance on Wednesday, February 6, at 7 p.m. to celebrate start of the Year of the Pig – a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.

More than 200 customers are expected to pack the restaurant to enjoy this traditional festivity which has enthralled adults and children alike for centuries.

This Dragon and Lion Dance will be performed by Lee’s Lion Club. Yangming has been hosting their celebrations for years and this “live” Lion Dance is a feature that has never failed to really excite the restaurant’s customers and their children.

“It’s a wonderful cultural experience for children of all ages,” said Yangming Owner Michael Wei. “Children read about China and the Chinese culture in school, but participating in something real like this makes it come alive for them. Tradition says that the Lion chases away the bad and makes the coming year a year to look forward to.”

During this month-long celebration of Chinese New Year, Yangming is offering its customers special multi-course banquet dinners from January 31 until March 2, 2019. The Banquet Dinner cost is $59.50 per person with a minimum of four and $64.50 per person for 2 and 3 (plus tax and gratuities).

Banquet Menu for the annual multi-course extravaganza is different every year. This year’s celebration begins with the Hors d’oeuvres Trio: Taro Crisped Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with Sweet Pepper Sauce; Seafood and Japanese Sweet Potato Dumplings; and Firecracker Vegetable Spring Roll with Lotus Root, Chinese Chive, Shiitake, Jicama.

The first main course is Wok Maine Lobster & Jumbo Shrimp with Chinese go-chi berries, shiitake, snow peas, ginger, scallion, and rice wine-oyster sauce.

Left – Grilled Filet Mignon with Potato Dumpling in a Sacha-Shallot Sauce served at Yangming. Below – Roast Duck with Rice Noodles in a Pinot Noir-Blueberry Emulsion served at Yangming.
