Black: Mourning to Celebration Exhibition Explores Form, Texture and History at Moore asic design teaches us that we first see color and then form. In early Western cultures, black clothing was a signifier of authority and also of mourning—and in many situations, remains so today. Black can evoke emotional responses related to mystery, exoticism and fear, and it can also feel chic and sophisticated, eliciting reason to celebrate. Join The Galleries at Moore for the Opening Reception for Black: Mourning to Celebration Friday, November 22, 2019, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at 1916 Race Street. The exhibition on view November 23, 2019, through January 11, 2020, is FREE to the public and is wheelchair accessible.

The garments and accessories in this presentation are “Black: Mourning to Celebration” part of Moore’s Historic Cosat The Galleries at Moore features tume Collection, originally clothing ranging from 1840 to the gifted to the college in 1940 1990s, including this 1950s dress

by Lynda Augusta Eckendorf made of rayon taffeta with pearl and Hering (1853–1940). Consider- rhinestone details. Photo/Dave Rizzio ed a tool and historical re source, the collection is made available to students and faculty, offering the opportunity to examine construction details and observe silhouettes and textile properties that can provide significant information about cultures that inform design.“We want to use this collection as a tool to create a more research-based department,” said Nasheli Juliana Ortiz González, chair and associate professor of Moore’s Fashion Design and Textile Department. “I think this is going to help us in our effort to do more writing and research.”

Moore is collaborating with alumni and industry experts on the exhibition. Drexel University is providing smaller-size mannequins on which the clothing will be displayed.

The selected clothing in Black ranges from 1840 to the 1990s, including a Quaker mourning dress; a 1901 daytime visiting dress made of cut velvet and featuring beading and ruffles, made in Philadelphia

by George Leupold; World War II-era suits designed by Gilbert Adrian, which are perfect examples of the fabric restriction laws of the time; as well as Jackie Kennedy-inspired pieces made by Norman Norell.

“Black is a strong way of seeing the basic design element of form,” said Jane Young Likens, Moore class of 1966, who is curating the exhibition along with consulting curator Ellen Forbes Burnie, art director for The New York Times Fashions of the Times and designer for Martha Stewart’s Wedding book and magazine. “The garments chosen for this exhibition exemplify some of the many reasons women chose to wear black.”

“Moore’s Historic Costume Collection has been “Black: Mourning to a campus secret for many years and it gives us Celebration” at The Galleries at Moore features great satisfaction to be able to share this selection of garments and accessories from the archive clothing ranging from 1840 with the public,” said Gabrielle Lavin Suzenski, to the 1990s, including this gown from the late 1930s or Rochelle F. Levy Director, The Galleries at Moore.

“This is the first in our Revealing the Archives series, early 1940s made of a set of annual exhibitions that highlight the varisatin-backed crepe and ety of designs held within the Fashion Design and seuins. Photo/Dave Rizzio Textile Department’s permanent collection.”

Those helping to prepare the garments for exhibition include historic costumer Heathyr Haskins Angellone, a 2005 Moore graduate; conservation contributor Arianna Baback, a Moore Fashion Design sophomore; and exhibition assistants Ashleen Castillo, a Moore Fashion Design senior, and Kamille Payamps, a Moore Fashion Design sophomore. Moore Associate Professor and AICAD fellow Tatiana Gómez Gaggero is the set designer for the exhibition as well as the show brochure.

Black: Mourning to Celebration is made possible with the generous support of Kathryn Sorkin ’68 and Sandy Sorkin, who have made a gift towards preserving the archive.

ronment while, in fact, our laws are designed to accommodate pollution as much as to prevent it.

“Despite the benefits of clean energy, fossil fuel companies and the people who profit from them are incredibly powerful, both politically and financially. As a result, our laws are written to advance dirty energy and impede clean energy solutions,” says van Rossum.

The impact, she argues, is that people feel powerless when it comes to preserving the quality of their water, air, public parks, and natural spaces. Her solution for achieving better protection of our environment is to turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions.

“We all have the right to pure water, clean air, and a healthy environment,” she says. “My presentation will focus on how to truly secure that right for our own sake and that of future generations.”

She has led the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, which works in the four states of the Delaware River watershed (NY, NJ, PA and DE), for 25 years. She was appointed to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s transition committee on environment and energy, was named one of the “10 Most Influential People of 2015” by SNL Energy, and has testified twice before U.S. Congressional committees.

Her book, The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment, was selected as the 2018 Living Now Evergreen Awards GOLD Winner in the Nature Conservation category. Since launching the Green Amendments Movement, constitutional amendments have been proposed in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia.

Full Circle Support Group: Find Purpose and Meaning in your Later Years On Mondays at 10:30 a.m. at New Horizons Senior Center, seniors are invited to join the Full Circle Support Group, facilitated by Janet Levit, MSW, LCSW.

Gingerbread Architects Invited to be Inspired by Elfreth’s Alley this December s part of the annual ‘Deck the Alley’ celebration on Elfreth’s Alley, taking place on December 7, the Elfreth’s Alley Association invites makers of gingerbread houses, both professional and amateur, to be inspired by the Alley’s architecture this holiday season! Gingerbread creations evoking the street will be displayed during the biannual open house, and the winner, judged by ‘Deck the Alley’ ticketholders, will receive a prize package including a private tour and goods from the Elfreth’s Alley Museum gift shop.

‘Deck the Alley’ is a holiday celebration of the homes and stories of Elfreth’s Alley. Many residents of the historic street open their homes for a few hours to allow visitors to see what 21st-century life looks like in 18th- and 19th-century homes. Performances, including carols, historical songs, and instrumental music will provide entertainment. The gingerbread house competition is a new addition to a beloved tradition.

“We are very excited about the gingerbread competition!” says Ted Maust, Associate Director of the Elfreth’s Alley Association. “The Alley is such a visually striking place and has already inspired models by craftspeople and LEGO artists. We want to see what the Alley could look like – and taste like – in gingerbread.”

Rules and further details: • Gingerbread structures should evoke or draw inspiration from Elfreth’s Alley in some way and be made of edible components • Competitors should indicate intent to participate in the competition by emailing director@elfrethsalley.org no later than November 29, 2019.

• Submissions must be delivered to the Elfreth’s Alley Museum no later than 5 p.m. on December 6, 2019.

The Elfreth’s Alley Association was founded in 1934 to preserve one of America’s oldest residential streets. Since the 1960s, the EAA has operated a museum at houses 124 and 126 as part of its ongoing work to preserve and protect the historic district and interpret the contributions of everyday Philadelphians to the American story. The museum covers the history of the street with special emphasis on the former residents of 126: women who made their living as dressmakers during the 1760s and a German immigrant family of shoemakers who moved in and enlarged the home in the mid-19th century.

“I’ve been attending shows at Theatre Horizon since its founding in 2005, my daughter, Brennan, has even performed on their stage and participated in some of their programs,” Leach said. “Theatre Horizon is a gem here in Southeastern PA and serves as a constant reminder of the importance of theatre and the arts. Programs like those you see at Theatre Horizon are so important, and I’ll continue to do all that I can to make sure that great work in the arts is always promoted and encouraged. There’s an inherent value in art and theatre, a significant value, and we should do all we can to protect and promote that value.”

The funds have been used to help Theatre Horizon increase its visibility via new street signage recently and an update to aging facilities, including its lobby and classroom, both of which house Theatre Horizon’s Autism Drama Program, which recently received a Barrymore Award.

“Theatre Horizon was pleased to welcome and honor the Senator this evening in our newly renovated lobby in Norristown,” Theatre Horizon’s Founder Erin Reilly said. “The Senator’s advocacy helped Theatre Horizon secure a capital grant that has increased our visibility via new street signage and an update to our facilities, including our lobby and classroom, both of which house our Barrymore Award-winning Autism Drama Program. We are very grateful for the Senator’s ongoing support of the arts in Montgomery County.”

Leach presented officials from Theatre Horizon with a symbolic check prior to their opening night of the production, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Senator Daylin Leach represents the 17th Senatorial District, which includes parts of Montgomery County and Delaware County.

JOANNA KLAIN’S “PLAYING WITH PAPER” AT ROSEMONT’S PATRICIA M. NUGENT GALLERY The Patricia M. Nugent Gallery presents “Playing with Paper,” a mixed media and collage exhibition of the works of Joanna Klain, a Massachusetts artist who lived and worked for many years in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The exhibit opened November 14, 2019, and runs through January 9, 2020. Rosemont’s Gallery joins the many private galleries, colleges, universities and museums, from the Philadelphia region to NYC, in exhibiting the work of Klain. The Patricia M. Nugent Gallery is located in the Lawrence Building on the campus of Rosemont College, 1400 Montgomery Avenue, Rosemont, PA 19010. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by appointment.

For information, call 610-527-0200 ext. 2967. Shown is “Morning Run”

Under the leadership of Playhouse’s Executive Producer Robyn Goodman, Producing Director Alexander Fraser and Producer Josh Fiedler, “Once” features direction by Travis Greisler (“The Cher Show”) and choreography by Misha Shields (Off-Broadway’s “Baghdaddy”).

“It feels fitting that we close our season with ‘Once’, a beautiful musical love story that puts actors and musicians center stage. ‘Once’ gets to the heart of why this historic playhouse was founded—to bring the community together to see and hear great stories told by extraordinary artists,” says Producing Director Alexander Fraser., Featuring an impressive ensemble of 13 actor/musicians who play instruments ranging from piano to guitar to mandolin to accordion, “Once” transports audiences to the streets of Dublin where Guy, played by Matt DeAngelis, a struggling singer and songwriter, is on the verge of giving up on his music. When a Czech immigrant, Girl, played by Mackenzie Lesser-Roy, hears him play, however, she refuses to let him abandon his guitar. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolve into a powerful but complicated love story. With a book by Enda Walsh, music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, “Once” is based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney.

Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “Once” features a score that has been honored with Grammy, Tony and Academy Awards. The score most famously includes the Academy Award-winning song “Falling Slowly.”

The Playhouse production is a homecoming for Greisler, a Bucks County native, who directs at the theater where he first stepped foot on stage as an 8-year old actor.

The production will play the following schedule: Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 2 p.m. (plus an additional evening performance Wednesday November 27 at 7:30 p.m.), Thursdays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. (except no show, November 28 - Thanksgiving Day), Fridays at 8 p.m. (plus an added matinee, Friday, November 29 at 2 p.m.), Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Tickets start at $65. Special group rates available for 10 or more. For full details, and to purchase tickets, visit https://bcptheater.org, call 215-862-2121, or visit the box office at 70 South Main Street, New Hope, PA.

“PECO is proud to partner with Historic District businesses and attractions to offer this holiday gift to the whole region,” said Romona Riscoe Benson, PECO’s director of corporate and community relations. “There are so many festive celebrations this season, and the Historic Holiday Pass is just one more great reason to visit.”

Head to www.visitphilly.com to download the Historic Holiday Pass and to see a complete list of offers. Then, visit the Historic District between November 14 and December 31 to experience the sights and sounds of the season and visit participating businesses and attractions for great deals.

The Franklin Square Holiday Festival began on November 14, kicking off the Historic District Holidays and Nights, featuring tree lightings, menorah lightings, military and boat parades, celebrations and shopping, culminating with Rivers Casino New Year’s Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront, with shows at 6 p.m. and midnight.

“Rivers Casino is proud to host the grand finale of Philadelphia’s holiday festival,” said Emily Doñes, community relations manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia. “We look forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve with two amazing fireworks displays along the waterfront.”

Getting around the Historic District is even easier this holiday season aboard the Philly PHLASH®. The PHLASH provides daytime service, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., to 20 stops located near must-see attractions every Friday to Sunday through November 24, and resumes daily service for the season November 29 through December 30. New for 2019: the PHLASH will offer a special evening service to seven stops near holiday attractions every Friday to Sunday, 6-10 p.m., from November 22 through December 29. Daytime PHLASH fares will be accepted on the evening service and cost only $5 for a One-Day Pass or $8 for a Two-Day Pass (online only); and a special evening rate will be available for purchase onboard vehicles after 6 p.m. for only $2 for an All-Night Pass. Visit www.PHLvisitorcenter.com/PHLASH for service details and updates.

The Historic Holiday Pass is valid from November 14 through December 31, 2019. Visit www.visitphilly.com to download the Pass, and for a complete list of participants, rules and exclusions.

Standing before the 10,000 walkers, sponsors and volunteers, she shared her younger-onset story, which she peppered with positive affirmations and advice.

“Learn that there is still a soul singing to an increasingly cloudy brain. Our soul will always seek your love even when our mind limits our ability to express it. Learn that our soul continues to love. In the end, to be left with nothing but love is a life well lived.”

In a show of support, the former longtime Philadelphia School District kindergarten teacher’s fiancé, Terrence Dougherty and their children attended the Walk.

“We are all losing a part of our future life that seemed so secure and ‘perfect.’ But we must live. Not ‘move on,’ but ‘move forward’ and accept her and love her, in her world, at whatever pace that happens,” said Dougherty.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sole cause of death among the top 10 that has no cure, cannot be prevented or even slowed—killing more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

Daylesford Crossing Hosts Free, Open-to-the-Public Support Group for Caregivers of Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias D

aylesford Crossing, SageLife’s sophisticated senior living and personal care community at 1450 Lancaster Avenue in Paoli, hosts a monthly support group for caregivers of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The support group, which is facilitated by an Alzheimer’s Association-trained representative from SarahCare, is held on the last Tuesday of every month from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

“Caring for a loved one with dementia is very challenging and exhausting,” said Executive Director Lydia Gemmer. “We want local residents experiencing this to know they are truly not alone. A support group can give you the advice and reassurance you need to manage stress and learn to take care of your own needs, too.”

Refreshments will be provided. For information about the support group, Memory Care at Daylesford Crossing, or the community’s Positive Approach to Care ™ philosophy, call 610-640-4000.

Youth Suicide Parent Resource Program Youth Suicide is a major health problem facing the youth in our nation, state and communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2017 Youth Risk Behavioral Survey over ONE out of every FOURTEEN young people in our nation attempted suicide in the previous 12 months. Yet, most people are unaware of the danger suicide presents for our young people. The Parent Resource Program (PRP) is a webbased program designed specifically for parents; however, the information provided is an excellent resource for educators, coaches, youth workers, other adults, and young people. The Jason Foundation (JFI) believes that awareness and education are key elements to preventing youth suicide. The main focus of the PRP is to provide information that will assist parents to recognize changes in behaviors that may indicate suicidal thoughts and know what to do to help an at-risk child. The PRP provides: Youth Suicide Statistics, Common Suicide Myths, Signs of Concern, Higher Risk Groups, Risk Factors & Elevated Risk Factors, What a Parent Can Do, Do’s and Don’ts, Resources for Assistance, Parent and Community Seminar. For information, visit the Parent Resource Program website: http://prp.jasonfoundation.com/.

Joanna Liao and Scott Miller in Lantern Theater Company’s production of “The Last Match”

by Anna Ziegler, running through December 15, 2019. Photo/Mark Garvin antern Theater Company continues its 2019/20 season with the Philadelphia premiere of The Last Match, a funny and moving drama from award-winning playwright Anna Ziegler.

Lantern resident director M. Craig Getting directs a cast that includes Joanna Liao, Scott Miller, Lee Minora, and Matteo Scammell. The Last Match runs Thursday, November 7 through Sunday, December 15, 2019.

Set over the course of a key matchup in the U.S. Open Semifinals, The Last Match uses the tennis match as a springboard to reveal both the extraordinariness of elite athletes and their ordinariness as human beings. The conflict between the aging American champion and the young Russian challenger is both epic and personal, as are the obstacles they face building relationships with the women they love.

Playwright Anna Ziegler, who recently visited the Lantern and participated in The Last Match rehearsal process, says that her play explores “how we conquer our demons to fulfill our potential.” In the play, one of the characters asks, “How do you get to the bottom of wanting?” In these questions, Lantern Artistic Director Charles McMahon sees the great panoply of human existence. “The characters in The Last Match are playing for very high stakes, and they are trying to transform their lives,” according to McMahon. “But there is something in us that makes us pursue this transformation through struggle, through contest, danger, and enmity. In order for the new world we are trying to create for ourselves to have any real meaning, it must arrive after a harrowing journey. I believe that Anna Ziegler’s brilliance in The Last Match lies in her ability to invest so much passion, so much of life’s real meaning into a brief moment on an imaginary court.”

Lantern Theater Company produced Ziegler’s play Photograph 51 to great acclaim during the 2015/16 season, featuring Geneviève Perrier as groundbreaking British scientist Rosalind Franklin. The play went on to win London’s 2016 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Play and Best of the Year play by The Washington Post and The Telegraph. Ziegler’s other recent plays include Actually (LA Ovation Award-winner for Playwriting of an Original Play), The Wanderers (2018 San Diego Critic’s Circle Award for Outstanding New Play), and Boy (nominated for the 2016 John Gassner Award by the Outer Critics Circle). Her work has been produced on the West End and in the U.S. at Williamstown Theatre Festival, Manhattan Theatre Club, Geffen Playhouse, Roundabout Theatre Company, The Old Globe, Seattle Rep, South Coast Rep, Cincinnati Playhouse, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Theater J, The Magic Theatre, and many others. She holds commissions from Roundabout, Manhattan Theatre Club, Geffen Playhouse, Second Stage Theater, and Grove/Whitman Productions. Oberon Books recently published a collection of her work entitled Anna Ziegler: Plays One. Lantern Theater Company will delve into the themes of The Last Match on its Lantern Searchlight blog, available online at www.lanterntheater.org/searchlight. Published articles will explore the psychology of elite competitive athletes, the evolution of tennis superstars, American and Russian approaches to competitive sports training, fun quizzes, an interview with playwright Anna Ziegler, and much more.

Tickets for The Last Match start at $28 and are available online at www.lanterntheater.org or by calling the Lantern Box Office at 215-829-0395. Discounts are available for students, seniors 65 and up, U.S. military personnel, and groups of 10 or more. All performances of The Last Match will take place at the Lantern’s resident home at St. Stephen’s Theater, 923 Ludlow St. in Center City Philadelphia.
