The play will be directed by Joanie Schultz, former Artistic Director of the WaterTower Theatre in Texas, and also known for her work in Chicago at The Goodman, Victory Gardens and Steppenwolf Theatres. Producing Artistic Director Paige Price and Managing Director Emily Zeck are excited to welcome Neuwirth and a cast of nationally and locally renowned actors to star in the season opener. Previews begin October 18, Opening Night is Wednesday, October 23, and the show runs through November 10. Single tickets range from $25-$74 and 3-play subscriptions start as low as $48, available now at the box office, online at https://philadelphiatheatrecompany.org or by phone at 215-985-0420. All shows are at PTC’s home at the Suzanne Robert’s Theatre, 480 S. Broad Street. Adam Bock’s finely-tuned A Small Fire follows Emily and John Bridges, a long-married couple whose happy, middle-class lives are upended as they plan for their daughter’s wedding. Neuwirth plays Emily, a woman used to running all the things – from her construction business to her family – until she suddenly and mysteriously starts losing her physical senses. As her world changes, her relationships shift in poignant and revelatory ways. A Small Fire was featured in PTC’s first See and Be Scene season preview event in 2017. “I have been wanting to produce A Small Fire since I saw the world premiere,” said PTC Producing Artistic Director Price. “It’s personal and intimate. The play is a metaphor for the shifting ground beneath us, and how we react and respond to the unknown. It’s a secret gem of a play that I’m thrilled to bring to Philadelphia. I’m excited to work with Bebe again, See Philadelphia Theatre Company’s Production of “A Small Fire” page 6

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 215482-8726, or visiting www.pahouse.com/DeLissio.

Rotary World Polio Day Fundraiser Come join Ardmore Rotarians and friends and enjoy dinner at Not Your Average Joe’s in Ardmore on October 24, World Polio Day, from 5 to 8 p.m. On that day, Rotarians around the world will hold events to raise money to finish the eradication of polio, a program started by Rotary in 1988. At that time, 350,000 infections occurred annually in 125 countries. Today, the wild polio virus is endemic in only 3 countries, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. We are 99.9% of the way to complete eradication. 15% of your dinner bill will be generously donated by the restaurant to the cause and that money will then be matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Tell your server when you pay your check that you are supporting polio eradication and Ardmore Rotary. Come enjoy dinner and be part of making history, along with Rotary and its partners, the WHO, the CDC, and many governments and foundations around the world. Can’t come to dinner?

and Emily is an ideal role for her. She has the perfect combination of intellect, humor, vulnerability and strength to really take us through Emily’s experiences. When Bebe also fell in love with this play, we knew it had to open the season. She’s been doing only television and movies for the past seven years, so we’re absolutely jumping up and down that she’s back on the boards at PTC.” Bebe Neuwirth, a Two-time Tony Award winner, starred on Broadway in A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity, Chicago, Dancin’, Little Me, Fosse and The Addams Family, and Off-Broadway in Here Lies Jenny and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She has had an illustrious film and television career, but may be most beloved for her indelible performance as “Lilith Crane” on Cheers and Frasier, which earned her two Emmys. She recently completed shooting on the film Modern Persuasion, and has appeared in the series The Good Wife and HBO’s Bored to Death. She also appeared for several seasons as a cast member of Madam Secretary and Blue Bloods, both on CBS. Emily’s husband, John, will be played by Broadway and TV veteran John Dossett. Dossett appeared in several Broadway and Off-Broadway shows including playing Herbie in the Gypsy revival starring Bernadette Peters, for which he received a Tony Award Nomination. He was the original Joseph Pulitzer in Broadway’s Newsies and he has played Billy Flynn in Broadway’s Chicago, and starred with Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole in the musical War Paint. Local audiences saw him this past season in People’s Light’s well-received production of A Number. He last appeared at PTC in 1998 in How I Learned to Drive. Dossett’s television credits include multiple episodes of Law and Order, Madam Secretary, The Americans, Gossip Girl and Suits. He also played Benjamin Rush in HBO’s critically acclaimed John Adams mini series. Dossett’s wife, Michele Pawk, played Emily Bridges in the world premiere production of A Small Fire at Playwright’s Horizons. “When looking for an actor who would play the role of John, we knew we didn’t want a pushover. This man compassionately navigates the relationship between his wife and his daughter. As someone once said to me, “Don’t mistake nice for weak.” John Dossett has a wonderfully gentle quality, even while being a guy’s guy, and is instantly sympathetic. We are thrilled to welcome John back to PTC,” said Price. Their daughter, Jenny, will be played by Sarah Gliko, who returns to PTC after playing Francesca in The Bridges of Madison County this past season. A member of the Wilma Theater’s Hothouse company, she last appeared in Mr. Burns: A PostElectric Play followed by a turn in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime at Walnut Street Theatre. Gliko has just finished a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Untitled Project 213. Oge Agulué is cast as Billy. Agulué, a regional theatre veteran, is currently playing Pawnee Bill in Annie Get Your Gun at the Bay Street Theatre, after a stint as “The General” on the National Tour of The Book of Mormon. Last season OffBroadway, he starred in Love’s Labor’s Lost, which garnered a Drama Desk Nomination for Best Ensemble. Television appearances include The Code on CBS and Little American on Apple TV. At the helm of the production is Joanie Schultz. Schultz is an arts leader and director of theatre and opera. In 20172018, Shultz was Artistic Director of WaterTower Theatre in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where she oversaw two years of diverse, exciting, and award-winning work. From 2014-16, she was Associate Artistic Producer at Chicago’s Victory Gardens Theater, as part of the Leadership U One-on-One Fellowship funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by TCG. Her work includes directing for The Goodman Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre, Victory Gardens Theater, The Cleveland Play House, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Studio Theatre in Washington DC, and at least 30 other theatre and opera companies throughout Chicago and the country. “A Small Fire is a moving and intimate play, one that reminds us of the core of our humanity, and inspires us to love our people with our whole selves. This cast comprises a quartet of compelling and honest actors who I am honored to work with to bring this delicate play to the Philadelphia Theatre Company stage. Each carries with them a vulnerability and a strength that will certainly bring out the best of these complex characters in Adam Bock’s play,” said Schultz. Subscriptions are on sale and start at $48. Single tickets are $25-$74. Tickets and subscriptions are available at the box office, online at https://philadelphiatheatrecompany.org or by phone at 215-985-0420. The season continues in 2020 with Chelsea Marcantel’s Everything is Wonderful, which made the Kilroy’s list Honorable Mention two years in a row. This incredible story of forgiveness, set in the heart of Amish Country, runs February 14 March 8. The season concludes with Sarah DeLappe’s 2017 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and 2015 Kilroys List play, The Wolves, April 10 - May 3.

Waldron Mercy Academy Students Fundraise for the Hungry ore than 400 Waldron Mercy Academy (WMA) students, from preschool to grade 8, participated in a Walkathon on September 25, 2019 to raise thousands of dollars for the non-profit “Rise Against Hunger.”

Waldron Mercy Academy students walk to raise money to feed the hungry around the world. Using the money raised, students will purchase food and fill an expected 25,000 packages that will later be distributed to the world’s most vulnerable populations, through Rise Against Hunger. Food packages from last year’s efforts were distributed in Zambia and South Africa. This is the fifth year that the funds from the annual Walkathon will support Rise Against Hunger. The event was held as part of the school’s annual commemoration of Mercy Day, the anniversary of the day when Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy in Dublin in 1827. Mercy Day is commemorated throughout the world at Mercy schools, medical facilities, and myriad other ministries. “This experience helps our students see that they can be people of Mercy not just for their school or the greater Philadelphia area, but for those around the world,” said Greg Soltis, Director of Outreach and Religious Education. Waldron Mercy Academy is a Catholic, co-educational, private elementary school sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. Waldron has been recognized twice as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence and received a Program of Distinction accreditation for Service Learning from the Middle States Association.

Lankenau Women’s Board Supports Hospital Priorities he Women’s Board of Lankenau Medical Center continues its tradition of generously supporting hospital initiatives with the presentation of a check in the amount of $247,526.57 on August 1, 2019. The dona-
T

This year’s gift also supports the Women’s Board commitment to its Chaplaincy Pledge, currently in the fourth of a five-year promise, with over $910,700 of the $1,000,000 pledge raised thus far. The Board’s efforts have benefited from a significant contribution by its oldest auxiliary, The Ladies Aid Society, which gave over $600,000 in 2015. This major gift supports the strategic plan and Main Line Health’s commitment to communities and patients while securing a matching gift through the Lankenau Medical Center Foundation. The Society continues its 157-year mission of service, dating back to the original German Hospital auxiliary. The Women’s Board of Lankenau promotes volunteerism and fundraising efforts throughout the local community during the year to benefit the medical center. To learn more or to become involved, email: womensboardLMC@mlhs.org or visit www.mainlinehealth.org and search LMC Foundation/womens-board.
12th Annual Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at Lankenau Medical Center he 12th Annual Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at Lankenau Medical Center will be held on October 24 and 25, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, at Lankenau’s Annenberg Conference Center. All presenting blood donors will receive a gift bag, free entry into prize drawings, special refreshments, and free parking. For every unit of blood collected, Carol’s family will make donations to the Narberth Community Food Bank and to Tree House Books, which works to provide every child in Philadelphia with free access to literacy programming and high-quality books. If the blood drive collection surpasses last year’s total of 250 units, these donations will be doubled. To schedule an appointment to donate blood, visit www.chablooddrive.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (mention sponsor code “CHAMemorial”). The blood drive honors the memory of local resident Carol H. Axelrod, who became dependent on blood products while being treated for multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Because blood was available every time she needed a transfusion, she was able to celebrate her 60th birthday and see her granddaughter turn three years old before she passed away in July 2008. Her family founded the memorial blood drive later that year, with a mission of enabling other patients to spend more time with their loved ones by working to ensure that lifesaving blood products are always available for those who need them. The blood drives held in Carol’s memory, which now take place four times each year in different locations, have collected enough blood products to have helped more than 13,000 patients. More information about the 12th Annual Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at Lankenau Medical Center is available at www.chablooddrive.org. One blood donation can save three lives—thank you for scheduling your lifesaving donation appointment today!
