See Avril Lavigne perform Friday, October 11, 2019 at Parx Casino®. Photo/David Needleman Avril Lavigne is a Grammy® nominated, global recording superstar who has sold over 40 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. Among countless accolades, she garnered eight GRAMMY® Award nominations and took home eight Juno Awards. She stands out as “one of the Soundscanera’s top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S.” and “third best-selling Canadian female artist of all-time.” Billboard placed her in the Top 10 of its “Best of the 2000s” chart.

Lavigne also set the Guinness World Record as “the youngest female solo artist to top the UK chart” and made history with “Girlfriend”—which became the “first music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.”

Outside of music, she gives back at every turn via The Avril Lavigne Foundation. Since its inception in 2010, The Avril Lavigne Foundation, Avril and her fans around the world have been impacting lives for the better. The Avril Lavigne Foundation supports people with Lyme Disease, serious illness or disabilities. Through programs and grants, it provides funding, education and encouragement for its beneficiaries.

For additional info on The Avril Lavigne Foundation, visit http://www.TheAvrilLavigneFoundation.org.

In 2018, she released her first new music in 5 years with the gut-wrenching single “Head Above Water,” which details the personal side of Avril’s journey through her widely reported on battle with Lyme Disease. Vogue Magazine praised the track “a fierce piano ballad that documents a culminating moment in Lavigne’s years-long struggle with Lyme disease.”

“I fought Lyme Disease on antibiotics and herbs for two years. I tried to have a life, but was in bed the majority of the time, and it was very up and down with good days and bad days. When you’re in bed for the better part of two years, you lose muscle mass,” explains Avril, “and your entire body gets weak. I’ve had to work to get my endurance up. ‘Head Above Water’ was the first song that I sang. I was fresh off not singing for two years. I thought my voice would be weak, it ended up being stronger than ever. The break happened to actually be good for my vocal cords.”

Her highly anticipated sixth studio album and debut for BMG, “Head Above Water,” was released on February 15, 2019. Rolling Stone praised the album writing, “Lavigne’s never sounded stronger or more vocally confident,” and Idolator applauds it, “a triumphant return... vocally and lyrically, the release contains some of her best work to date.”

“I went through a lot to get here,” she leaves off. “The positive side is I didn’t stop living my life. Having music while I was healing and in recovery definitely pulled me out of my darkness. I had a goal to work towards and a purpose. I hope the album touches people. We all go through challenges in life. Some unfortunately are more serious than others. Having gone through the battle of my lifetime, I’m stronger than ever and looking forward to sharing my renewed voice and energy for my life with my fans through this new music.”

“Parx Casino is thrilled to welcome Avril Lavigne and her Head Above Water concert tour,” said CEO Tony Ricci. “Audiences will really be able to see the Canadian superstar soar in our intimate and state-of-the-art 1,500 seat showroom.

Lavigne returns to the stage with an important story to share about her battle with Lyme Disease. We are honored to be her final stop in the United States. One dollar from each ticket will help fight the disease through her charity.”

Tickets for Avril Lavigne are on sale now for $60-$100. One dollar from every ticket sold to her show at Parx will be donated to The Avril Lavigne Foundation. For more information on Parx Casino® and the Xcite Center, visit www.parxcasino.com or call 888-588-7279.

tate Rep. Liz Hanbidge, D-Montgomery, is partnering with Rep. Margo Davidson, D-Delaware, Chairwoman of the Pennsylvania House Democrats’ Southeast Delegation, to host the first Montgomery County Legislative Summit from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, October 7 at Montgomery County Community College’s Science Center Theater, 340 Dekalb Pike, Blue Bell, 19422. This free public event will feature up to 20 local and state elected officials and will welcome special guest Congresswoman Madeleine Dean as one of the evening’s keynote speakers.

“This event is the first of its kind in Montgomery County,” Hanbidge said. “Bringing people together is a key component of our jobs as state legislators, and we should take every opportunity we can to invite residents to meet with their legislators and provide residents the opportunity to hear directly from their elected officials. Our government functions best when people are involved and engaged. I’m looking forward to welcoming our neighbors from across Montgomery County to this in-depth discussion about current legislative initiatives, and to hear from our community about what we can better do to improve the quality of life for all our residents.”

Hanbidge and Davidson have indicated that the summit will begin with keynote speeches from elected officials in leadership positions from Montgomery County to then be followed by two legislative breakout sessions for those in attendance, spotlighting several specific legislative topics.

“These separate breakout conversations are meant to provide an opportunity for state officials to share their knowledge and experience on specific areas of expertise and for residents to voice any concerns they may have on topics of

S

special interest to them,” Hanbidge said.

“As chair of the Southeast Delegation, I’m proud that Representative Hanbidge, Delegation Vice Chair for Montgomery County, will be hosting this first-of-its-kind legislative summit,” Davidson said. “Seeking to bring about an unprecedented level of intergovernmental cooperation that benefits all residents of Montgomery County and our region is a top priority for our delegation. I want to thank Representative Hanbidge and Montgomery County for leading the way on this important goal.”

The House Democrats’ Southeast Delegation is a 35-member delegation, which is the largest and fastest-growing delegation in the Democratic Caucus, including 17 women and six representatives of color. The delegation serves residents in eight counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Montgomery and York. Davidson is the first African American to serve as Chairwoman of the Southeast Delegation and Hanbidge serves as the Vice-Chair of Montgomery County within the delegation.

Inis Nua Presents Four New British and Irish Plays Continued from front page

play ascends to a plane that can only be called transcendent.”

The Night Alive was nominated for Best Play at London’s Olivier Awards, and New York’s Lucille Lortel Awards and Drama Desk Awards. The production will be directed by Barrymore Award-nominated director and Inis Nua Founder and Artistic Director Tom Reing. Performances are October 9 - 27, 2019 at the Louis Bluver Theatre at The Drake. Opening night is October 11, 2019.

A Hundred Words for Snow by Tatty Hennessy is the American Premiere for this one-woman show from an exciting young voice in British theatre. When 15-year-old Rory’s geography teacher father dies suddenly, she decides to pursue his lifelong dream and journey to the North Pole. Following the route he planned and the advice of the great explorers before her, Rory packs a rucksack and her father’s ashes for a journey of love, loss, and endless snow. The Stage called A Hundred Words for Snow “an ice-bound odyssey brimming with humor and humanity.” The production will be directed by Barrymore Award-nominated director and Inis Nua Associate Director and Literary Manager Claire Moyer. Performances are February 5 - 23, 2020 at the Louis Bluver Theatre at The Drake.

Opening night is February 7, 2020.

The final mainstage production of Inis Nua’s 2019 - 2020 season will be Folk by Tom Wells, a warmhearted play with traditional Irish and English folksongs. The play tells the story of three people who don’t quite belong: Winnie who is a middle-aged Irish nun with a foul mouth and a penchant for Guinness, Stephen who is a lonely man caring for his father, and Kayleigh who is a pregnant teen on her own. In their small town in the north of England there’s not much room for misfits, but these three loners forge a deep connection through their love of folk music. The Guardian said about Folk: Wells “has the priceless ability to endow the ordinary with luminous significance.” The production will also be directed by Barrymore Award-nominated director and Inis Nua Associate Director and Literary Manager Claire Moyer. Performances are April 22 - May 10, 2020 at the Louis Bluver Theatre at The Drake. Opening night is April 24, 2020.

Each year Inis Nua hosts its Pop-Up Play in a Pub, a fun night out at Fergie’s in Center City, one of Philly’s most beloved Irish Pubs. Tickets include a short play, a meat or vegetable pie from Stargazy, and a beverage of your choice. This year’s Pop-Up Play in a Pub is Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons by Sam Steiner, directed by Founder and Artistic Director Tom Reing. Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons is set in a not-too-distant future where Hush Laws have been instated, limiting each individual to only 140 words per day.

Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons will be performed May 26, 27, 28 and June 2, 3, 4 at Fergie’s Pub, 1214 Sansom Street. Opening night for this show will be May 26, 2020. Note: May 26, 27 and May 28 are sold out already to the public. Inis Nua is exploring extending this show.

Additional season programming includes The Takeaway, special post-show talks held after the Wednesday performances of each mainstage show. The Takeaway is a post-show exploration of the play’s themes and relevant events by guest scholars and theatre practitioners.

Claude Bourbon weaves his songs through the audience as if on a journey through life taking in different flavors of Europe and beyond. His Spanish medieval blues evolves into Gypsy, Eastern European, with a splash of Paco de Lucia, Delta Blues and more.

Claude has played countless venues, including Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Colne Great British & Blues Festival, Rock O’Z Arene, Avenches, Switzerland, among others.

He has shared the stage in Europe and the USA with countless musicians, Calvin Russel, Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore), Jan Akkerman (Focus), Steve Grossman (Miles Davis), Herbie Armstrong (Van Morisson), Jose barrense Dias and many more.

It’s not easy to begin to describe the breadth or mastery of the music you will hear if you are fortunate to catch one of Claude’s gigs, it is a sort of sensory experience like no other.

A top master of his craft and never appearing to be rushed, he has impeccable timing and makes things that one can only marvel at seem simple.

Organized by the Brandywine River Museum of Art, “Cinderella & Co.— Three Fairy Tales Reimagined” will explore the enduring stories of “Cinderella,” “The Three Little Pigs” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” presenting a wide array of illustrations created through time and across cultures.

Guest curated by H. Nichols B. Clark, “Cinderella & Co.—Three Fairy Tales Reimagined” includes more than 100 drawings from books illustrated by 35 artists, revealing both cultural and stylistic diversity. The work of 19th and early 20th-century masters such as Walter Crane and L. Leslie Brooke provide examples of classic styles and Western interpretations of the three featured fairy tales, which influenced numerous artists in the exhibition including Marcia Brown, Paul Galdone, Barbara McClintock and Jerry Pinkney. Rich multicultural visualizations, such as those from China (Ed Young), the Spice Islands of Indonesia (Reynold Ruffins), the Caribbean (Brian Pinkney) and Mexico (Tomie dePaola), underscore the notion that these treasured stories live visually in many different forms and lend themselves to surprisingly diverse interpretation. Juxtaposed alongside more traditional retellings, contemporary versions with drawings that upend familiar narratives include the experimental and edgy visions imagined

Temple University’s Boyer College of Music and Dance, Dance Department presents this year’s annual Dance Alumni Showcase featuring work by Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Megan Mizanty, Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. ined version of “Strange Dreams: 30 Years Later,” and Mizanty will premiere her new work “Laura,” a collaboration with Sienna Martz, a fiber arts graduate of Tyler School of Art and Architecture. The shared program will be presented in Conwell Dance Theater at 1801 N. Broad Street, 5th Floor on Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m.

Conceived and directed by Artistic Director AnneMarie Mulgrew, “Strange Dreams: 30 Years Later” is a multi-media production for nine dancers which features inventive choreography, colorful props, striking projections, a portable set, a genre-defying sound score and inflatable costumes. Strange Dreams tackles dream-like states—the sensations, memories, colors and sounds in a non-linear stream of consciousness format. Dreams appear, disappear, and continue to haunt the dreamer who questions the logic of it all.

New York-based dance company MizantyMoves Dance premieres its newest work, “Laura.” Inspired by prime-time television crime dramas from the 90s and beyond, this quartet imagines the lives and afterlives of four fictional women. The non-linear narrative utilizes movement and live vocal performances, exploring violence against women in popular American media, the consumption of normalized violence in contemporary culture and The Disposable Woman.

Tickets: $20 general admission/$15 students and senior citizens/$10 Temple employees/ $5 with TUid. Tickets available at https://www.temple.edu/boyer, at the Temple Arts Box Office (Tomlinson Theater lobby, 1301 W. Norris St., open Monday - Friday 12 p.m. - 6 p.m., 215-204-1122), or in person 45 minutes before the show – NO CASH.

Magic in the Fall Garden: Nature Exploration for Kids will be held Sunday, October 6, from 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. The program will be presented

by Helen Standen, Greenhouse and Nursery Manager at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. Uncover the magic of the fall garden as participants explore “What’s for Dinner?” Wearing the Arboretum’s Explorer Vests and using tools such as magnifying lenses and binoculars, attendees will look for sources of food that support the critters that live in the Arboretum. This program is appropriate for children ages 4 to 8 accompanied by an adult. Meet in the lobby of the John J. Willaman Education Center – rain or shine! Free for members; $5/child for non-members. Adults accompanying children are free of charge. Registration is required for children (accompanying adults do not need to register). Register by calling 610-647-8870 or at Eventbrite.com. Visit www.jenkinsarboretum.org for information.

DeLissio to Discuss Recreational Cannabis at 89th Town Hall State Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio, D-Montgomery/Phila., will host her 89th Town Hall Meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, October 16 in the Wolcoff Auditorium of the Roxborough Memorial Hospital located at 5800 Ridge Ave., Philadelphia. As DeLissio announced at her previous town hall in September, the topic for discussion at this Town Hall will be adult-use recreational cannabis. The discussion, DeLissio said, will feature both proponents of recreational use of cannabis and those who oppose legalization. Plenty of free parking is available in the Jamestown Lot or along the nearby streets. House Bill 50 was introduced earlier this year and has been referred to the Pennsylvania House Health Committee. In addition to legalizing cannabis for adult use, this legislation also proposes reforms decriminalizing cannabis. For public transportation, use bus route 9. More info can be obtained by calling DeLissio’s office at 215-482-8726, or visiting www.pahouse.com/DeLissio.

PHILADELPHIA AND THE MAIN LINE’S FAVORITE WEEKLY

Moliere’s Tartuffe Opens at Hedgerow October 9 hough more than 350 years old, Tartuffe, French playwright Molière’s greatest comedy, addresses subjects that are pressingly current: the spiritual neediness of the rich, the power of religious zealots to manipulate the unwary, and the slippery nature of truth. Starting October 9, Hedgerow Theatre will be in the grip of one of history’s greatest impostors, the immortal character called Tartuffe, who has been hilariously preying on the gullible for 355 years. Tartuffe, written by Moliere in 1664, is one of the most popular plays ever produced because no matter when it’s performed, audiences see their lives and times uproariously satirized on stage.

This is especially true today, just months away from the first national primary, when it’s impossible to believe that Moliere didn’t have our current political scene and its largerthan-life figures in mind. Brexit and Boris Johnson, anyone? Director Peter Reynolds says that now is the ideal time to explore this enduring satire. “Under the comedy is Moliere’s all-too-relevant alarm about being seduced by those who promise salvation but are really only interested in their own self-gratification, wealth, and domination.” Hedgerow’s Artistic Director Jared Reed says he chose to present Tartuffe now because “the play exerts such a vice-like grip on our collective imagination at this moment. I believe that Tartuffe can help us understand what’s happening in the world. Today, we find ourselves in a divide, each side deeply convinced that others are blindly following self-appointed leaders and anything that they don’t agree with is ‘fake news.’”

Accordingly, the production nods to its past while being very much of today. In a style they describe as “modern Baroque,” costume designer Marla Jurglanis and set designer James F. Pyne, Jr. have created a world that looks to be three centuries old and yet absolutely fresh from the pages of fashion magazines. Director Reynolds explains, “it’s important to me that we all understand that the same things happened nearly 400 years ago because we haven’t changed all that much, though we’d like to think we’ve advanced.”

Tartuffe’s cast introduces some fresh faces to Hedgerow, including Melissa Fuhr as Dorine, the servant who speaks truth to power, Kate Horner as the whistle-blower Cleante, and Brianna Lopez as Mariane, the young woman promised in marriage to Tartuffe himself. Marcus Barainaky, last seen at Hedgerow in Three Sisters, is the scandalized son Damis, while Hedgerow’s current class of acting fellows play the parts of Valere (Thane Madsen), Flipote (Joanna Bak), and Lauren (Michael McInerney). Company members round out the cast in the roles of Orgon, the man who invites Tartuffe into his seemingly perfect household (Adam Altman), his selfsacrificing wife Elmire (Jen Summerfield), his mother Madame Pernelle (Susan Wefel), and the officers of the law Loyal (Stacy Skinner) and the Marshall (Zoran Kovcic). Robert Smythe plays Tartuffe.

Tartuffe features set design by James F. Pyne, Jr., costume design by Marla Jurglanis, light design by Andrea Rumble-Moore, and sound design by Aaron Oster.

Tartuffe by Moliere, directed by Peter Reynolds, runs from October 9 to November 3, at Hedgerow Theatre, located at 64 Rose Valley Road, in Rose Valley, PA. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.Tickets range from $20 to $39, with some discounts available. Buy tickets by calling Hedgerow at 610-565-4211 or by visiting hedgerowtheatre.org.

“Oldies Night is always among the most popular shows of the year,” stated Performing Arts Center executive director Harry Dietzler. “Audience members of all ages love ‘Oldies’ music, and recognizing our veterans at the same time makes for a truly enjoyable evening.”

The Atlantic City Boys have entertained audiences across the country, from Las Vegas to Disney World, and have performed with the Temptations, Patti LaBelle, Huey Lewis and many others. Notable sets include the Beatles, Four Seasons and “Rat Pack” favorites.

“We know the audience will enjoy a great trip down memory lane during what I’m sure will be another fabulous Performing Arts Center show,” added Mayor Thomas N. Micozzie.

“It is even more important to honor the sacrifices the veterans in this region have made over the years to protect our country. What better way than a live concert to enjoy the music that means the most to them?”
