he Players Club of Swarthmore invites everyone to beat the post-holiday blues and ring in the new year with an evening of silliness and laughter with Neil Simon’s hilarious comedy, “Fools” – playing January 9-24. Simon has created a fable of old Russia, where a young schoolteacher is assigned to a village that has been cursed with chronic stupidity for 200 years. How stupid is it? It’s so stupid that they milk cows upside down to get more cream. If the poor teacher doesn’t leave in 24 hours, he’ll become stupid himself—but there’s this girl who complicates the situation. Director Jim Carroll of Drexel Hill gathered a cast from around the region to light up the stage with laughs. Josiah Donnell of Boothwyn leads the cast as the teacher, Leon Tolchinsky. Additional cast members include Ken Fischer of Rutledge, Bob Dimond of Media, David Cashell of Springfield, Michele Loor Nicolay of Wallingford, Lauri Jacobs and Lorraine Barrett of Wynnewood, Paul Kerrigan of Secane, Liz Iannacci of Morton, and Tom Irvin of Swarthmore. “Fools” runs Friday, January 9 through January 24. Thursday performances are at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Group rates (15 or more patrons) are available—consult the theater’s website www.pcstheater.org for information on prices, etc. Reservations can be made either online or by calling OvationTix customer service toll-free at 866-811-4111. The Players Club’s Mainstage space, located at 614 Fair view Road in Swarthmore, is a fully handicapped-accessible, Lenya Zubritzky (Lorraine Barrett of Wynnewood) and 300-seat proscenium theater Doctor Zubritzky (Paul Kerrigan of Secane) celebrate the with plenty of free parking in the club’s adjacent lot. The fact that their daughter, Sophia (Liz Iannicci of Morton), has finally learned how to sit down in “Fools” at The Players theater is equipped with Assisted Listening devices and Club of Swarthmore, opening January 9. Photo/Jim Carroll also offers a separate handicapped restroom facility. For information about PCS – including upcoming events, shows, ticketing and directions, visit www.pcstheater.org.

oodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia’s historic Chestnut Hill lights up the season with classic holiday celebrations, from a free Victorian card-making workshop and beloved seasonal films to special exhibitions celebrating snow-covered landscapes and Pennsylvania German traditions, a jazzy “Crooner Christmas,” and gift shopping for handcrafted and hand-selected gifts at the eclectic and unique Holiday Store, now expanded for the season. “A Christmas Past in the Pennsylvania German Tradition” (through Jan. 11), features children’s toys and holiday decorations from the collection of the Germantown Historical Society. A delightful dollhouse replica of a Germantown row home and a sculpture of Belsnickel – a folkloric gift-bringing figure and predecessor of modern Santa Claus, known in Pennsylvania Dutch communities as a cantankerous sorter of naughty from nice – highlight the exhibition. “Let It Snow!” (through Jan. 11) complements “Schofield: International Impressionist” (through Jan. 25), Woodmere’s ongoing celebration of noted landscape painter Walter Elmer Schofield (1866-1944). “Let It Snow!” is a selection of winter landscapes that explore the luminous effects of winter light and the beauty of hillsides, roads and ponds transformed by a blanket of snow. Spanning almost ninety years, the paintings in “Let It Snow!” capture the crisp blue nights, festive activities, and the chilly afternoons of winter. In addition, visitors can enjoy “Journey in Watercolor: The Art of Deena Gu” (through Feb. 22). Woodmere Art Museum is located at 9201 Germantown Avenue. Admission to special exhibitions is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and FREE for students, children and Museum members; exhibitions in the Founder’s Gallery and Helen Millard Children’s Gallery are FREE.

Holiday Shopping & Entertainment
Moore’s Art Shop Manager Invites You to See What’s New in the Shop uzanne Kopko ’93 has big plans for The Art Shop at Moore. Kopko, the store manager for a year, is working on a long-range project to transform the shop into a unique hybrid of museum exhibition and boutique. “It’s an idea created via the array of different jobs I’ve had that have crossed between museums, galleries and big-box retail,” she said. “The mix of artwork calls for a creative method of displaying work and allowing each piece to have its space to shine.” The Art Shop, a fixture at the College since 2002, is the only permanent shop in Philadelphia to sell student and alumni work from all majors. The shop offers a variety of one-of-akind artwork – from ceramics and jewelry to hand-made greeting cards and wall art – and of course, Moore merchandise. Prices range from $2 to $2,000. The goal of The Art Shop is to give students and alumnae of all ages the opportunity (sometimes their first opportunity) to present and sell their work to the public. The art and design pieces are created by Moore’s emerging and established alumnae as well as current students. Local artists of note include Harshita Lohia ’02, a textile designer, Kelly Kozma ’10, a mixedmedia artist and Heather Bryson ’02, a jeweler and gallery owner. “I really like promoting artists and their work,” Kopko said. “And this job was a great way to come back to Moore and give back. It really seems like a culmination of my previous experience.” As part of her plan to rejuvenate The Art Shop, Kopko has painted the walls and purchased new display cases. New artwork arrives weekly. Kopko re-arranges and changes out work regularly to keep the look fresh. “I’m trying to promote the whole idea that if you see it today you should buy it today, because it may not be in shop next week,” she said. “When selecting work, the space available, the customers’ buying preferences as well as including a range of style has to be considered.” Her efforts to curate the shop seem to be working, with a 30 percent increase in sales this fiscal year over last year. Kopko graduated from Moore in 1993 with a BFA degree in Fashion Design. Then she worked as Assistant and Volunteer Coordinator for the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA. She returned to Philadelphia in 2002 to get her Master of Arts degree in Museum Education and Interpretation from the University of the Arts. “I wanted to learn more about the exhibition process since I’d worked at a museum, but I didn’t have the degree,” she said. She worked as a Museum Education Specialist at the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, PA, and as Direc-

tor of Exhibitions & Collections for The Center for Art in Wood, formerly the Wood Turning Center, in Philadelphia. In 2009, Kopko took full-time job at Target, Co. – five minutes from her home studio – which gave her more time to work on her art. That’s when she started her company, Papillion Dreams. She currently makes collages out of magazines and prints them on fabric to make purses. She opened an Etsy shop and currently sells her work through word of mouth and in retail stores, including The Art Shop. “I’m keeping the business small scale with the idea of holding onto the unique qualities of each item,” she said. With the holidays quickly approaching, Kopko hopes that shoppers will visit the The Art Shop to purchase unique and timeless gifts. The Art Shop is open year round, Monday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., with additional Sunday hours, 12 - 5 p.m., added for the month of December.

“BERLIN: LANDSCAPE OF MEMORY” EXHIBIT Continued from front page
through his photographs. Abbott’s work conveys hope, history, creativity, and compassion as he presents images of Berlin at the time of the Fall coupled with a reinvestigation of the same neighborhoods over two decades later. Powerful images of a place where the two dominant political ideologies of the twentieth century met and physically manifested themselves create a body of work that forms a complex portrait of the city’s far-reaching implications in history, politics, and culture. “My first trip [to Berlin] was in 1988, a year and a half before the wall came down, but before anyone imagined that it would. As I got to know the city, I found bizarre effects the Wall had on its neighborhoods and residents compelling, so began taking photos,” remarks Abbott of his inspiration for the project. “I photographed for over a hundred days during eight trips over five years. In this time, I recorded not only the presence and impact of the Wall, but also the transitional period as it came down.” The resulting photographs are an insightful, thoughtful and contemplative portrait of the city during times of momentous change. Fascinated by the character of the neighborhoods the Wall inhabited, the artist created images that reflect an intimacy that counters the grand forces we usually associate with a divided Berlin. In this body of work, Abbott offers a significant record of nuance in a location that experienced overwhelming historic transformation. “My introduction to Berlin was in classes with architect Daniel Libeskind who illuminated the plethora of international architects working to create a modern West Berlin within the layered political contexts of history, the Cold War and the physical presence of the Berlin Wall,” says Abbott. When he returned in 2012, Abbott found a city reborn and new; one which still held the quiet but powerful footprint of the Wall. While modern and cosmopolitan, Abbott found the new Berlin to be colored by the details – some overt and others subtle – of its neighborhoods. His photographic memoirs of the city are currently on exhibit in Philadelphia. “Berlin: Landscape of Memory” debuted in April 2013 as part of the Philadelphia International Festival of Arts (PIFA) when images from this project were presented as a multimedia accompaniment to musical works performed by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Abbott collaborated with Jorge Cousineau and Chamber Orchestra Conductor Laureate Ignat Solzhenitsyn to present this multi-sensory experience in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has recently lectured on his work in Berlin at the 2014 Society of Photographic Educators National Conference in Baltimore, Maryland and in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. More at www.pifa.org. James B. Abbott is a photographer who has maintained a studio in Philadelphia on North Third Street since 1983 and is a resident of Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Abbott earned a degree in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art, interned at the Light Gallery in New York, New York and completed an apprenticeship with renowned American photographer Burk Uzzle. Abbott has served as photographer for the Stieglitz Center at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Gallery Director of the Burden Gallery at Aperture Foundation in New York City.

Abbott has held faculty appointments at Penland School of Crafts, Moore College of Art and Design, the University of the Arts, Philadelphia University, Tyler School of Art, Temple University, and currently teaches in Italy for East Carolina University. Over the past twenty-five years Abbott has received many residencies and commissions; has exhibited regularly; has curated notable exhibitions and has built a successful international freelance photography and fine art practice. The work in Berlin is one of four long term, photo-based investigations of specific locations; he has also worked extensively in Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts, on and around the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and currently in Florence and Venice, Italy. He has been a visiting artist and lecturer at Cranbrook Academy, a resident artist at the Cape Cod National Sea Shore, and lectured at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts. Abbott has been commissioned to create photographs for many projects and organizations including the Fairmount Park Art Association for their New.Land.Marks project, Rutgers University and NJN Public Television, and the Marriott Hotel. Abbott’s extensive exhibition history includes solo exhibitions at Harvard University, the Wellfleet Public Library, Free Library of Philadelphia, and the Lishui International Photo Festival in Lishui, China. Significant group exhibitions include the Atwater Kent Museum for the Museo Bardini in Florence, Italy, State Museum of Pennsylvania, The Print Center, and the National Constitution Center. Abbott’s work is included in many public and private collections including the Federal Reserve Bank, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Abbott’s curatorial endeavors have brought outstanding and stimulating work to Philadelphia through his gallery/exhibition space Exhibit 231, most notably exhibitions by Carl Toth, John Geard, Joel Katz, Geanna Merola and Sandy Sorlien. Abbott has also received a number of grants and awards for his work: he is the recipient of three Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Individual Artist Awards, a SOS grant, and an Independence Foundation Fellowship in the Arts which has directly supported his work in Berlin. More at www.jbabbott.com.

Anthony Stover, community director for the March of Dimes (right), along with Will Roberts, vice president of Discovery Labs (back row, left), presents an award to the staff of the DCMH Maternal/Child Health Unit as part of the March of Dimes’ annual “Day of Gratitude.” Pictured with the nursing team are (left) Krista Burnell, administrative director of Patient Services for DCMH, and (right) Kathy Manuel, director of nursing for DCMH. he Maternal/Child Health Units at Delaware County Memorial Hospital and CrozerChester Medical Center were recently presented with plaques from the March of Dimes in recognition of the physicians and staff who fight to save babies’ lives every day. The recognition awards were part of the organization’s annual “Day of Gratitude” in honor of Prematurity Awareness Month, which is observed annually in November. Anthony Stover, community director for the March of Dimes’ Pennsylvania Chapter, Southeast Division, presented the award to nurses, physicians and nursing administration staff at the hospital. “For 75 years, the March of Dimes’ mission has been to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality,” Stover says. “We are grateful to Crozer-Keystone Health System for partnering with us in this mission. The NICU nurses and physicians play a huge role in the lives of these tiny miracles.” “On behalf of the entire Maternal/Child Health staff, we are honored to receive this recognition award from the March of Dimes,” says Rose Amato, nurse director of the Maternal/ Child Health Unit at DCMH. “We hope that our continued efforts in saving babies from conditions such as premature birth will help not only the March of Dimes, but those families who need our compassion and care.” “In the short time I have been with Crozer-Keystone, I have seen firsthand the commitment that our staff and the March of Dimes have to the well-being of premature infants and their families,” adds Ken Molczan, nurse director of the Intensive Care Nursery at Crozer. “I look forward to continuing to build on this mutually beneficial relationship.” The March of Dimes is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Maternity services at Crozer-Keystone Health System include a NICU at DCMH and an ICN at Crozer. The maternity centers at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Delaware County Memorial Hospital, which deliver more than 3,700 babies each year, offer quiet and comfortable surroundings and the latest technology to provide optimal care to parents and their babies. To learn more about maternity services at Crozer-Keystone call 1-855-CK-BABIES (1-855-252-2243) or visit http://4ubaby.crozerkeystone.org.
