The Spring Standards Return to Utopian Arden for Holidays rden Concert Gild announces the return of hometown heroes, The Spring Standards, to their annual Boxing Day Double concert, December 26. The first show will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by another performance at 9:30 p.m. You can purchase tickets for either show through www.ardenconcerts.com for $18 each or $30 for both. The event is all ages and will take place in the town’s Gild Hall, a 160-year-old barn conveniently located ten minutes north of Wilmington, DE and 20 minutes south of Philadelphia International Airport. Opening acts for these 2 different sets of music will be Inland Traveler (Brooklyn, 6:30 p.m.) and The DuPont Brothers (DE, 9:30 p.m.). The Spring Standards are an indie-rock trio that grew up in the Arden region. Songwriters and multi-instrumentalists James Cleare, Heather Robb and James Smith began playing throughout Delaware and Pennsylvania at just sixteen years old. Since 2008 they have been headlining post-Christmas shows at Arden Concert Gild. They are currently touring in support of their latest release, yellow/gold, a double EP set as well as Live in Delaware, recorded at last year’s Arden Boxing Day event. The utopian, single-tax community of Arden was established in 1900 as a social experiment with intentions to bring to life Henry George’s social philosophy and William Morris’ arts and crafts movement. Notable founders include Joseph Fels, Upton Sinclair and Mother Bloor, as well as many other artists, actors and singers. This creative effort has continued to be a success thanks to the 45% green space, land trust (instead of ownership), town meeting styled government, and the citizens’ artistic expression.

Photography Exhibit Depicts the Secret Life of a Natural History Museum Opens April 19 at the Academy of Natural Sciences f you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in museum dioramas, look no further than Unnatural History, a photographic series by nationally renowned photographer Lori Nix, opening April 19 at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Nix’s painstakingly crafted miniature dioramas, photographed in black and white, depict life at a typical natural history museum—with a humorous twist. “We tend to think of anything we see in an institution as being truthful. I wanted to use that assumption and portray scenes that were almost Photo/ŠLori Nix true,� Nix said. The photographs of “Unnatural History,� on view April 19 Nix’s 17 images, to be disAugust 2, 2014, provide a humorous look at the inner played in the Academy’s Art workings of a museum. Praying Mantis shown above by of Science Gallery, feature the photographer Lori Nix. Below is Mastodon. rigid exhibit subjects emerging from their displays. Sharks swim through the halls; a skunk relaxes, reading a book; dodo birds cause havoc in the library. The specimens are released from their glass cases, recaptured within the context of a diorama, and documented again in a photograph. And though the images convey action, they retain the special kind of quietness only found inside a museum. “Lori Nix reveals the inherent artificiality of the natural history dioramas which serious institutions, such as ours, tout as sacred stages of truth and nature,� said Jennifer Sontchi, the Academy’s director of exhibits. In this way, the Academy is a perfect venue to exhibit Nix’s work. The content of her images relates to the surroundings like a dream within a dream and puts the captured subjects on display once again. One of her miniature dioramas also will be part of the show, presenting a unique opportunity to observe her process. “I laughed when I saw her photos, because I saw in them the Academy itself,� said Sontchi. When she has time to wander, Nix, who lives in New York City, enjoys going to the American Museum of Natural History. She prefers the older exhibits, and she stops to appreciate their craftsmanship. It is the same kind of craftsmanship, imagination and scientific accuracy that went into making the dioramas at the Academy of Natural Sciences in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Recently, two new nature soundscapes have been added in North American Hall to enhance the immersive experience. Already well-versed in the medium of dioramas, Nix furthered her expertise after reading a book on the construction of museum dioramas. It was then that she decided to make her own. “The real fun for me is making these faux museum dioramas whose real life intent is to be accurate and factual in what it displays and then purposefully get the science wrong,� Nix said. After hearing a gallery owner proclaim that black and white photography was dead, she became determined to do a project in black and white. “It was only after conceiving of the museum idea did the two projects seem to make sense together,� Nix said. “I liked the idea of making this body of work seem vintage, and black and white would be perfect for that.� Nix made the tabletop-sized dioramas in Unnatural History in the living room of her Brooklyn apartment, using wood, foam, plastic, paper, and the occasional store-bought

His playing, often heard on European stages, is not limited to the avant-garde, as he’s spent a good deal of time with the likes of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and the pioneering World Music ensemble, Atzilut. Levin – who will be accompanied by guitarist David Hotep, bassist Howard Cooper, and drummer Ed Watkins – has received awards from New American Radio in New York, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts, and the California Endowment for the Humanities. The Jazz Bridge Neighborhood Concerts Series is partially funded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Philadelphia Jazz Project, Philadelphia Fund for Jazz Legacy and Innovation of the Philadelphia Foundation, and Painted Bride Arts Center.

Music Celebrating Christmas from Times Past Renaissance Noël performed by Vox Renaissance Consort ake a beautiful and joyous musical journey back in time when Valentin Radu, Artistic Director and Conductor of VoxAmaDeus, leads his Vox Renaissance Consort in two performances of beloved music for the Christmas season— melodies that were popular during the European High Renaissance and Early Baroque periods (about 1550 to 1675). Renaissance Noël is a magical mixture of centuries-old folk songs, carols, madrigals and motets. In fact, several selections on the Vox Renaissance Consort program are sung and revered today. The entire family will delight in hauntingly beautiful classics like Greensleaves, the ancient chant O Come, O Come Emmanuel, lively Christmas bells and the gentle Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming. Renaissance Noël is a feast for the ears and the eyes—and easy on the family pocketbook! The professional singers of Vox Renaissance Consort are attired in lush High Renaissance dress and accompanied by minstrels playing Renaissance period instruments. The program is conducted by the dynamic Maestro Valentin Radu. Performance dates, times and locations are: Friday, December 20 at 8 p.m. in the Church of St. Martinin-the-Fields at 8000 Saint Martin’s Lane at the intersection of Willow Grove Avenue in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA. Sunday, December 22 at 4 p.m. in Thomas Great Hall on the Bryn Mawr College campus, near 256 North Merion Avenue in Bryn Mawr, PA. Tickets for these concerts are moderately priced at $25 for General Admission, $20 for Seniors and $10 for Students. Tickets may be purchased online at www.VoxAmaDeus.org – by phone at 610-688-2800 – or at the door 45 minutes prior to concert time.

It will include a midnight countdown. “This is one of our favorite shows to do because we pull out all of the secret games we keep locked away for special shows,” said ComedySportz Philadelphia Executive Director Don Montrey. “Games like Spit Take, Game-o-matic and the exciting Oxygen Deprivation where a player has to keep their head underwater while their teammates do a scene. Our fans love it!” ComedySportz is Philadelphia’s leading improv comedy show. Since 1993 ComedySportz has been entertaining fans with the fastest and funniest form of improv comedy ever seen. Two teams of improvisers vie for points in a hilarious competition by playing a series of improv games, similar to what you may have seen on TV’s Whose Line Is It Anyway? A referee governs the action, calling fouls and keeping the match moving at a blistering pace.

Margaret School 1st grade students led by teacher Jane Krause and assisted by Donna Dodderidge performed in a Thanksgiving tradition and play for parents and the school community. The play portraits the biblical story from Genesis 1:1-2:3, the Creation Story. The class brought the story to life through describing creation one day at a time from light for day and night; waters or seas, land; plants and trees; the sun, moon and stars; to living creatures for water, land and sky; with the conclusion of seventh day as a day of rest to refresh or renew. After the story was depicted the first grade students gleefully performed songs for the audience.

“If you are unfamiliar with Barrymore Award-winning Tony Braithwaite, the show provides an opportunity to get to know this Philadelphia funnyman at his best – singing, dancing, acting; an improv master, with a Stephen Colbert style quality and quick wit,” Bloom wrote. “Jennifer Childs, Artistic Director and co-founder of 1812 Productions, shines with her beautiful voice and amusing accents and impersonations. The two are lovable and charming and their chemistry is a joy to watch.” Tony Braithwaite is the Artistic Director of Act II Playhouse in Ambler, where he most recently directed The Twelve Dates of Christmas and Murray the Elf and the Case of the Terrifying Tinsel. Tony has also appeared with Arden Theatre Company, Philadelphia Theatre Company, Delaware Theatre Company, Hedgerow Theatre, Montgomery Theater, and both the PA and Philadelphia Shakespeare Festivals, among others. Tony is a 13-time Barrymore Award nominee, a 4-time Barrymore M.C., and a 3-time Barrymore winner, including wins for The Big Bang and The Story of My Life (both at Act II). For 20 years Tony has also served as Director of Dramatics at his beloved alma mater St. Joe’s Prep. Jennifer Childs is the Artistic Director of 1812 Productions. For 1812 she has written and directed over a dozen original works of theatrical comedy including It’s My Party: The Women and Comedy Project which was recently named a finalist for the Brown Martin Award. Her solo show, Why I’m Scared of Dance by Jen Childs, has had productions at the City Theatre in Pittsburgh, Act II Playhouse in Ambler and the Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin. It will be seen at Delaware Theatre Company in February 2014. Act II Playhouse, now in its 15th season of professional theatre in the Philadelphia suburb of Ambler, PA, is committed to creating world-class theatre in a venue whose intimacy draws audiences and actors into dynamic interaction. Act II produces new, classic, and contemporary plays and musicals under the direction of Tony Braithwaite (Producing Artistic Director) and Howie Brown (Managing Director).

ber, 2010, and extended its run through April, 2011, due to popular demand. The Broadway production then toured Australia in 2013 with Angela Lansbury, James Earl Jones and Boyd Gaines. Directing Driving Miss Daisy is Bernard Havard. He is proud to be directing this production as “the rich history of Atlanta and its people is important to the history of our great country. This show is a journey of the heart, as much as it is an actual journey. On stage you see a deep love develop through friendship during a turbulent time in America’s past, which inspires hope for everyone,” Havard noted. His directorial credits include Walnut Street Theatre’s 2013 production Good People, as well as God of Carnage, ART, Someone to Watch Over Me, Skylight and A Life in the Theatre. He has spent his life in theatre as an actor, stage manager, director, managing director and producer. Havard is recognized as one of America's leading theatre producers. Under his leadership, the Walnut became a notfor-profit, self-producing theatre and has gained international recognition as one of America’s premier regional theatres. Creating the roadmap to guide the journey is Set Designer Andrew Thompson (Around the World in 80 Days, Proof, The Glass Menagerie, Side by Side by Sondheim). He is joined by Costume Designer Julia Poisez (Doubt, Speaking in Tongues), Sound Designer Cory Neale (Proof, Noël and Gertie) and Lighting Designer Shon Causer (Elf, Good People, Ethel!). With Johnnie Hobbs Jr. as Hoke Colburn, Wendy Scharfman as Daisy Werthan and Bill Van Horn as Boolie Werthan, Director Havard referred to the cast of Driving Miss Daisy as his dream cast. Hobbs Jr. is making his Walnut debut in this role, having recently retired after 30 years at University of the Arts’ Ira Brind School of Theatre Arts. He has performed in many of Freedom Theatre’s productions, including Black Nativity, Simply Heaven and Zooman and the Sign. Scharfman was last seen at the Walnut on its Mainstage as Lady Markby in Oscar Wildes’ An Ideal Husband. She toured with Walnut’s production of The Glass Menagerie in 2011 as Amanda. Bill Van Horn joins the cast fresh from playing Santa in the Walnut’s production of Elf. Van Horn has performed in many WST productions, including Around the World in 80 Days, Proof, The Music Man, Curtains and Fiddler on the Roof. Following the success of the first three national tours of Walnut Street Theatre productions, The Glass Menagerie, Proof and Around the World in 80 Days, Driving Miss Daisy is the fourth Walnut production to embark on a tour. For information about Walnut Street Theatre national tours, visit www.WalnutStreetTheatre.org. Tickets are $30-$40 and are now available at 215-574-3550 or 215-336-1234. Tickets are also available at www.WalnutStreetTheatre.org or www.Ticketmaster.com.
