I NIS N UA T HEATRE C OMPANY ’ S “T HE S WALLOWING D ARK ” Continued from front page
worker Martha begins to piece together Canaan’s political activities in Africa and finds hints that he may have been not just victim but also perpetrator of violence in his efforts to navigate Zimbabwe’s horrific no-win political landscape. Was he an activist in the Movement for Democratic Change? Or was he a government CIO agent tracking and torturing dissidents? What do we expect to hear from a man trying to save his own life? As she sits as judge and jury of Canaan’s reality, Martha struggles with a damning truth within her own family, her brother’s seeming involvement in a terrible crime. This professional’s mandate to find and invest in the truth becomes a shackle as she confronts truth’s ever-shifting form. Government reports cannot encompass the complexity of a refugee’s life or journey to safety, but the magical stories of Zimbabwe that infuse “The Swallowing Dark” hint at a truth just out of reach. Inis Nua’s Literary Manager and Associate Director Claire Moyer is directing “The Swallowing Dark” and was drawn to the playwright’s style: “The Swallowing Dark stood out to me as Nunnery’s writing is shaped by poetry, folklore and the vague images at the edges of our memory—but it’s simultaneously tackling a very modern and relevant political issue.” In curating Inis Nua’s Reading Series: Immigration Stories last season, Claire found that the changing face of Britain is increasingly reflected in new work from the U.K. Some playwrights use immigration in a matter of fact or humorous way, as Alan Harris does in Inis Nua’s winter offering “Love, Lies and Taxidermy.” Lizzie Nunnery, however, is taking dead aim at the contradictions and hypocrisy of immigration, asylum and the reality of refugee admissions. “The Swallowing Dark” stars Walter DeShields (Co-Founder and Associate Artistic Director of Theatre in the X) and Jessica Johnson (“Gumshoe,” New Paradise Laboratories, “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” Arden Theatre Company) and takes us from a dreary Liverpool office to the streets of Harare. Longtime Inis Nua collaborator Meghan Jones will handle the set design, and Avista Custom Theatrical Services provides the props. Sound design is by Elizabeth Atkinson with lighting design handled by Amanda Jensen—they both set the scene for Radiant Vermin. Swallow’s costume designer Natalia de la Tor is back for this production, as well as Inis Nua veteran technical director Joe Daniels (Leper + Chip). Another Inis Nua veteran, Lauren Tracy, is back as production manager with newcomer Alex Donnelly as stage manager. Tickets are on sale for $25-$35 by calling 215-454-9776 or visiting inisnuatheatre.org. To join the conversation, like Inis Nua Theatre Company on Facebook and follow @InisNua Theatre on Twitter.

BARBARA BRADLEY HAGERTY SPEAKS ABOUT “LIFE REIMAGINED” Continued from front page
In her recent book, Life Reimagined, she advocates taking time to re-evaluate one’s purpose, refocus relationships, and transform the way one thinks about self and the world. Drawing from emerging information in neurology, psychology, biology, genetics, and sociology – as well as her own story of transformation – Hagerty redraws the map for people and plots a new course forward in understanding our health, our relationships, even our futures. There’s no such thing as an inevitable midlife crisis, Hagerty writes in this provocative, hopeful book. It’s a myth, an illusion. New scientific research explodes the fable that it is a time when things start to go downhill for everybody. In fact, midlife can be a great new adventure when you can embrace fresh possibilities, purposes, and pleasures. Following her first job at The Christian Science Monitor and a one-year Knight Fellowship at Yale Law School, Hagerty switched focus to the religion beat at National Public Radio and reported on the intersection of faith and politics, law, science, and culture. In 2005, a Templeton-Cambridge Fellowship experience questioning world-class scientists and theologians at Cambridge University is summarized in her work, Fingerprints of God, which delves into the emerging science of spirituality. The Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church Community Forum Distinguished Speaker Series began in 1997. The forums are made possible by the Anna and Herbert H. Middleton, Sr. Fund of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church Foundation and are offered as a service to the community at large. Committee members include Chair Nancy Ameen, Richard Allman, Anna May Charrington, Peter Craig, Louisa Mygatt, the Rev. Dr. Agnes Norfleet, and Monica Devane. Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church is located at 625 Montgomery Avenue, Bryn Mawr. Reservations are not needed for this free event and book signing. For info, visit www.bmpc.org or call 610-525-2821.

out the evening fun. “We are especially excited about the 2017 Taste of Ardmore,” said Christine Vilardo, Executive Director of the Ardmore Initiative. “This year we are welcoming many newcomers to the event, including The Bercy, an exciting new restaurant that is not even open yet!” said Vilardo. “Taste of Ardmore is the perfect way to showcase the new kids on the block along with established favorites. As always, this evening would not be possible without our generous presenting sponsor and host, Ardmore Toyota. We are so appreciative of their ongoing support.” Ardmore establishments use Taste of Ardmore to showcase some of their best dishes and this year is no exception. Delice et Chocolat, the French pastry shop that has been delighting patrons since its opening, will feature a coffee bar and assorted chocolates. Ardmore’s eagerly-awaited newcomer, The Bercy, will stay true to its French roots serving a chicken liver mousse and smoked salmon rilleje. Bam Bam Seoul Kitchen will feature Korean fusion sliders and Yi’s Boba will serve green and mill teas with various toppings. “Our restaurants always put their best dishes forward for Taste,” said Vilardo. “Guests will enjoy returning favorites including PokéOno, serving a fresh tuna or salmon dish and Maido with their popular Japanese curry—there will be something for everyone!” Guests with a competitive streak will delight in the return of the Homebrew Competition and Ardmore Kitchen Challenge both in their second year at Taste. The Homebrew Competition will feature five experienced brewers from the Main Line Home Brewers Association presenting their finest beer for guests to taste throughout the evening. This year the competitors will vie for two awards: Voter’s Choice and Expert’s Choice. Guests will be able to taste the brews and vote for their favorite and a surprise expert panel will also choose a winner. The Voter’s Choice and Expert’s Choice winners will receive a bag of malt and a box of hops from Iron Hill Brewery and Tired Hands Brewing Company. The Ardmore Initiative, Pat Nogar, host of “Living Well with Pat Nogar,” and Main Line Foodies are again teaming up to showcase the best home cooks in the area. Three contestants will shop for ingredients at the Ardmore Farmers Market, cook their best dishes in the spacious kitchen of the beautiful Merion Tribute House, and then submit them to celebrity judges. The competition will culminate at Taste of Ardmore with the winner showcasing the winning dish alongside pro-

O U T - A N D - A B O U T – Dining & Entertainment News By Jerry H. Bloom, Staff Writer Onstage • Keswick Theatre, 291 North Keswick Avenue in Glenside, PA, presents South African world music superstar Johnny Clegg, The Final Journey World Tour, Thursday, October 26, 8 p.m. Despite a list of honors and a 35-year legacy highlighted by his antiapartheid stand, Clegg’s two-year battle with pancreatic cancer is forcing him to call it a career despite his groundbreaking social, political, and cultural impact that includes multi-platinum album sales and dozens of awards and honors worldwide.

42nd Annual Great Pumpkin Carve in Chadds Ford he Chadds Ford Historical Society hosts the 42nd Annual Great Pumpkin Carve on October 19-21, 2017. The Great Pumpkin Carve is the quintessential Brandywine Valley experience, and is a great way to get in the Halloween spirit. The Great Pumpkin Carve was started by artists Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth and Jimmy Lynch in the 1970s to decorate the Chadds Ford Inn for Halloween. The event has grown each year, and is now an autumn tradition for thousands of people every fall. This family-friendly festival features 70 local artists competing by carving huge pumpkins into jacko-lanterns on Thursday night. The pumpkins, which may weigh as much as 400 pounds, will be lit and displayed at the end of the carving on Thursday, and illuminated again on Friday and Saturday nights. Pumpkins are judged and winners declared in several categories: Best Overall, Most Halloween, Best Carving, Most Original and Best Use of Pumpkin. Since 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Andrew Wyeth’s birth, a new prize category has been added to this year’s carving competition. Since Andrew Wyeth loved Halloween so much, the “Andy’s Spookiest Award” will be given to the carver who creates a carving using elements that best evoke the spooky and eerie mysteriousness of the October holiday. In addition to the pumpkins, the festival offers entertainment for adults and children alike including live music, raffle prizes, hayrides, pumpkin painting and other fun activities. This year the event is expanding the variety of food offered by including local restaurants and food trucks to join for the Great Pumpkin Carve. Also new this year is the addition of a Scarecrow Display & Competition where individuals, families, classrooms and businesses can make a scarecrow to compete in several prize categories: Celebrating Chadds Ford, Keeping Traditions, Forged in History and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The Great Pumpkin Carve is held on the grounds of the Chadds Ford Historical Society, 1736 N. Creek Road, Chadds Ford, PA 19317. Admission is $10 for adults; $5 for children; free for children 6 and under. CFHS members are free with membership card. All ticketing is at the gate. Free parking is available at the event.

Affordable Live-In Caregivers
n Saturday, October 14, 2017, friends, families, children of all ages, and co-workers will come together for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night® event at the Wilson Farm Park in Wayne.

Tamara Proietto of Phoenixville, will walk with her team, Team Tamara, in this year’s Chester County Walk. Proietto has been participating in the Light The Night Walk for the last four years after being diagnosed with acute myeloid lymphoma (AML). the Light The Night Walk for the last four years after being diagnosed with acute myeloid lymphoma (AML). Five months after her diagnosis, Proietto received a bone marrow transplant from an anonymous donor and has been in remission ever since. “When you or someone you love hears the words, ‘you have cancer,’ it’s one of the darkest moments in your life,” said Proietto. “The best advice I received was to only use the LLS website when doing research online, because of their commitment to providing information, resources and support to those affected by blood cancers.” There is no fundraising minimum to participate in Light The Night, but every walker is encouraged to become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more. Nationally, participants raise an average of $300. “Light The Night gives hope to patients and their families and lets them know that they are not alone in their battle against cancer,” said Ellen Rubesin, LLS Executive Director. “It is a night to pay tribute to lives touched by cancer, honor those we have lost, and celebrate the lives that have been saved.” To become part of Light The Night, call the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter at 800-482-2873 or visit www.lightthenight.org/epa.

Donors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all blood types, are needed to help patients fight sickle cell disease, alpha thalassemia and other illnesses. Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). To help reduce wait times, donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at www.redcrossblood.org/RapidPass.
