Craig Getting, now through December 17, 2017. From the ashes of World War II, Dutch patriots discover that one of their own – a rich and reputable art dealer – has sold rare Vermeer paintings to the Nazis. Accused of treason and on trial for his life, he must decide whether to destroy his own reputation or to reveal bigger secrets behind these works that the Dutch consider national treasures. Commissioned and developed through the Lantern’s New Works Initiative, this world premiere by celebrated Philadelphia playwright Bruce Graham spins a darkly ironic tale of ambition, genius, and deception.

Adapted from the original Charles Perrault story by Storybook’s Artistic Director, Patricia Goldberg, with original music by Kevin Arruda, this delightful tale puts the fate of a sleeping beauty, and her entire kingdom, into the hands of a brave, young prince. “Sleeping Beauty” opens with a woodsman, in an enchanted forest, telling Prince Bryon about a hundred-years’ curse that was cast upon the kingdom by an evil fairy after the young princess, Briar Rose, pricked her finger on a spinning wheel’s thimble. Only the prince is brave and romantic enough to break the spell but he faces many thorny obstacles that stand in his way. Storybook has gathered seven, talented, local professional actors for its cast: In the role of the valiant Prince Bryon is Storybook newcomer Chris Monaco, of Wallingford. The sleeping beauty, Briar Rose is played by Erica Cochran of Philadelphia. Erica was seen last season in Storybook’s in “Puss ’n Boots.” Topher Layton, of Philadelphia, fills the role of the mysterious woodsman. Layton is also new to Storybook. Jeff Reim, of Sewell, NJ, a Storybook veteran, takes on the role of the King. The Queen is played by Christine Petrini, of Burlington, NJ, also making her Storybook debut. The good fairy, Joycelyn, who tries to break the evil spell, is played by Storybook favorite, Aileen Goldberg, of Upper Darby. And, of course, the best is last. Evileen, the wicked fairy, who casts the hundred years spell, is played by newcomer, Vanessa Sterling, of Philadelphia. The director of “Sleeping Beauty” is Patricia Goldberg. Musical Director is Nancy Wiker, with costumes by Kim Hanley, sets by Pat Goldberg and lighting by Marc S. Goldberg. Showtimes for “Sleeping Beauty” vary according to date. Reservations are recommended. Children’s tickets: $12, Adults: $14 with generous school and group discounts. Storybook productions are appropriate for children age three and older. After each performance children have the opportunity to meet the actors for a handshake, picture or autograph.

Flynn, a resident of East Passyunk, explains: “My dancers and I are inspired by the unconventional spaces throughout Philadelphia. We perform in traditional theatrical venues, but I love to interface with audience members as they go about their everyday routine: eating lunch at the Reading Terminal Market, enjoying a happy hour event at FringeArts’ La Peg, playing with their children in Fairmount Park, or listening to live music in an art gallery.” Flynn’s choreography deconstructs classical ballet and modern dance and creates a unique movement vocabulary that is contemporary, athletic, and nuanced. MFDC dancers embody qualities of grit and grace, strength, and sensitivity. MFDC will perform excerpts of company repertory from the 2016-2017 season with “A Piece of This Place: A Pop-Up

Author and jazz performer Bruce Klauber will sign copies of his new book, “Reminiscing in Tempo: Farewell and Recollections of Showbiz, Jazz and Drums,” at the Narberth Bookshop on December 16, at 2 p.m. credible, five-plus decades as an author, acclaimed filmmaker, jazz journalist and columnist, talent scout, editor, public relations consultant, jazz drummer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist. Frank Sinatra on Bruce Klauber: “It is quite obvious you are an educated student of American popular music, and your knowledge of some marvelous and memorable years in America’s musical history is truly impressive. Your warm words supporting my music and my efforts as a musician honor me and touched me deeply.” “Reminiscing in Tempo” is the author’s third book. His previous works, “World of Gene Krupa: That Legendary Drummin’ Man,” with an introduction by Mel Tormé (Pathfinder Publishing of California); and “Gene Krupa: The Pictorial Life of a Jazz Legend,” with an introduction by Bobby Scott (Alfred Publishing); are considered to be landmark and ground-breaking titles within the world of jazz literature and scholarship. For more than 50 years, Bruce Klauber has worked in virtually every area of the entertainment business. He has written for, contributed to and/or edited dozens of magazines, newspapers, books and other periodicals locally, regionally, and nationally. His monthly jazz column, “The Jazz Scene,” is the only regularly published jazz column in the area and beyond and appears monthly in the prestigious Broad Street Review. Klauber’s two books on drumming giant Gene Krupa, as well as his many Warner Brothers films on Krupa, Buddy Rich and the “Legends of Jazz Drumming” series, have won numerous awards. As a working jazz drummer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist since childhood, he has worked with jazz and entertainment legends such as Charlie Ventura, Milt Buckner, Al Grey, Anita O’Day, Joanie Sommers, Buddy Greco, Peggy King, and is co-founder of the one of the nation’s longest, continuously performing jazz ensemble, Philadelphia’s popular All-Star Jazz Trio. As one of the Technical Advisers on the Academy Award-winning motion picture, “Whiplash,” he’s been pegged to host and lecture as various screenings of same all over the country. Bruce Klauber holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications and Theater from Temple University, and in 1986, was awarded the Honorary Doctorate of Music Degree for his contributions to Jazz scholarship and Musical Performance.

A look at the power of religion and what it can do to one’s psyche – Dec. 14 - 16 udiences are invited to experience Catholic Guilt, a dark comedic journey into the mind of a young woman growing up in the Catholic church. You will get an intimate look at what it’s like to experience some of life’s most poignant moments as a Catholic. This show includes a healthy dose of sex talk, mortal sin, cosmic bowling, and more! It blends

Religion can be quite powerful. “I survived,” says Kelly McCaughan, “Catholic Guilt” writer and performer. See performanaces December 14 - 16. Photo/Hannah Van Sciver stand-up, voice overs, projections, music, and your sinful audience participation, while taking a look at the power of religion and what it can do to one’s psyche. See performances: December 14 at 8:30 p.m.; December 15 at 8 p.m.; and December 16 at 8 p.m. This production is written and performed by Kelly McCaughan, directed by Carly L. Bodnar and technical direction by James Jackson. Catholic Guilt runs in West Philadelphia at the Calvary Center for Culture and Community (801 S. 48th St., Philadelphia, PA 19143). Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at https://catholicguiltphilly.brownpapertickets.com/. Catholic Guilt was first written to take a look at religion and its effect on the psyche. Religion can bring people together, and bring peace and meaning to life. It is often a huge part of one’s identity. But what about the dark side of it? It can be polarizing, creating a sense of “us vs. them.” Religion often drives people to act out of fear. People infused with religious dogma can become neurotic because of the fear of not being able to fulfill their religion’s expectations. Kelly explores these ideas through the telling of her own personal experience. About the creator: Kelly McCaughan is an actress, deviser, improviser, and writer in Philadelphia. She graduated with a BFA from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and has been working in Philadelphia for 7 years. She has worked with local theater companies such as EgoPo Classic Theater, Revolution Shakespeare, Luna Theater Company, Manayunk Theater company, White Pines Productions, Philly PHIT, Walking Fish Theater, The Cabaret Administration, and Plays and Players. She was a previous ensemble member of Bright Invention with White Pines Productions and of Bye Bye Liver: The Philadelphia Drinking Play with Happy Hour Live. She served as a writer and actor for her award-winning sketch comedy group, High Dramma, and still collaborates with them from time to time. Outside of Philadelphia, Kelly has worked in NYC (People’s Improv Theater), Pittsburgh (Arcade Comedy Club), Montreal (Theatre Sainte Catherine), and Baltimore (Lou Costello Room). This past summer she co-starred in the HBO comedy Crashing, and most recently finished filming a supporting role in a feature film. Visit www.KellyMcCaughanActress.com.

The entertaining afternoon and evening event begins at 2:30 p.m. with an Art Gallery Opening featuring the work of Philadelphia artist Lois Schlachter. Ms. Schlachter is a spontaneous painter. Her appealing abstract compositions are replete with a labyrinth of defined images and a conglomeration of forms enlivened with vibrant color. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and received her BFA at The Philadelphia College of Art. Lois has exhibited extensively throughout the Northeast. Her collection of paintings will be on display at Darlington through early January. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet the artist, view the work, and enjoy wine and cheese at the reception. “We are thrilled to invite the surrounding community to Darlington and demonstrate the value of the arts to our community,” says Darlington Arts Center Director Eric CarterDarlington Arts Center invites the community to a free Thompson. “We are committed to making available every art and festive Holiday Jam and Open House on Saturday, for everyone and this event is a prime example.” The holiDecember 9.

“Do you see what I see” by Brown looks at the juxtaposition between bourgeois Black American Culture and its African counterparts. Judith Jamison (former artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater), was so moved in seeing the work she invited Brown to create the powerful dance (Grace 1999) for Ailey. New Conversations: First Look is a deepening of a collaboration between Ronald K. Brown and Grammy award winning jazz composer Arturo O’ Farrill. In 2015, Brown and O’Farrill collaborated on the world premiere of Open Door for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater that explored the connections between African rooted arts in the New World. New Conversations is built on Ochosi – a Cuban Orissa in the Santeria religion that is a hunter and has both male and female appearances. It is set to music by Arturo O’Farill Afro Jazz Latin Ensemble. In Four Corners, Brown was inspired by friend and recording artist Carl Hancock Rux’s lyrics from “Lamentations.” The dance explores spiritual seekers amid four angels standing on four corners of the earth. Brown’s grounded movements portray figures who are burdened by grief but ultimately find solace, peace and freedom with the aid of the angels. Brown, who is also an avid storyteller and writer, expressed his love for poems. “There’s something about the rhythm and richness of the spoken word that goes right to my heart. When I am dreaming about movement, poetry comes out.” Four Corners was commissioned by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 2013. Brown observes. “I am a spiritual person. My mother’s side of the family was Pentecostal. No dancing allowed. But I am also from several generations of family churches on my father’s side and down in North Carolina on visits, I was encouraged to dance.” In addition to the performances, Ronald K. Brown/Evidence will be offering two outreach activities – The Student Discovery Series program for schools, Friday, December 15 at 10:30 a.m. and a master class, Friday, December 15 at 1 p.m. at Philadanco, 9 N. Preston Street, Philadelphia, PA. There will also be two post-performance chats that will take place after Friday’s 8 p.m. and Saturday’s 2 p.m. performances.
Congregation Beth Or Art Exhibit Congregation Beth Or presents the featured artist for the month of December, Monique Sarkessian. The community is invited to meet the artist at her opening reception on Friday, December 8, from 6 to 6:30 p.m., immediately before Shabbat services. Refreshments will be served. Congregation Beth Or is located at 529 Welsh Road Maple Glen, PA 19002. Her exhibit will run through January 10. For info: Karen at 267-975-7555.
