Michael Braunfeld is, first and foremost, a storyteller. His songs capture the everyday triumphs and struggles of ordinary people. His characters – though trapped in the particular circumstances of their own lives – appeal to a universal audience. Michael was welcomed into the Writers’ Night Family at The Bluebird Cafe in 2014 and was named a finalist in the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition in both 2016 and 2018. From sold out listening rooms to festivals, Michael is delighting old fans and winning over new audiences at every stop. Whether addressing topical issues or sharing personal stories that often leave his audiences feeling that he has somehow, in some way, invaded their privacy, Michael’s performances combine a powerful guitar style with a seemingly endless supply of urgency. And he has a pretty sneaky sense of humor too. Check him out at http://www.michaelbraunfeld.com. Kirsten Maxwell is a New York-raised singer/songwriter, now based out of Nashville.

Sweetman, Ph.D., Executive Director at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, on Sunday, February 17, at 2 p.m. This slide show lecture is based on the 40th anniversary publication of a retrospective titled: “The Blossoming of a Dream: A Love Story.” Lawrence Jenkins and Elisabeth Phillippe fell in love while Elisabeth was on holiday in England. Their home was constructed in 1928 and the property remained largely undisturbed woodland until plans were made to create a new public garden upon their deaths. It was Mrs. Jenkins’ love of gardens, birds, and nature that ultimately led to the creation in 1976 of the Arboretum & Gardens the public enjoys today. Free of charge. All are welcome.

Approximately 325 skaters are expected, competing in the disciplines of individual free skating, pairs, and ice dancing at the Skatium in Havertown. Winners of this Adult Sectional competition will go on to the Adult National Championships. Skaters, coaches, judges, technical scoring personnel, vendors, and spectators are expected easily to top 1,000 people in attendance. The competition will showcase the multi-stranded artistry that makes figure skating so magical: dazzling costumes, powerful athleticism, gliding grace, exciting musical selections from a wide variety of styles, and competitors’ passionate engagement with their music and their audiences. Figure skating is both a sport and an art form and evokes wonder in both realms. Although many Americans think of figure skating as a teen sport, in fact adults – sometimes even into their later years – train, compete, and grace the ice as well; their mastery of such difficult disciplines during adulthood is particularly inspiring. The Crossroads Figure Skating Club was founded in 1992. Although its name has changed through the years, its commitment to excellence has never wavered. The club has an illustrious history of Regional and Junior National medalists and Adult National Champions. It has previously hosted large competitions and boasts Gold Test skaters within its membership. The club has produced acclaimed skating shows, featuring World Champion skaters.

From left – Brian Hoyos and Alicia Culleton in Narberth Community Theatre’s “West Side Story” opening on Friday, March 1, 2019 at the Overbrook Presbyterian Church located at 6376 City Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19151. “West Side Story” takes place on New York’s West Side in the mid1950s amidst widespread racial and social tension. The show begins as a war is building between two rival gangs fighting over the same piece of turf: born and bred New York boys, The Jets, and Puerto Rican immigrants, The Sharks. In the midst of the battlefield are two young romantics, good-boy Tony, played by Bryan Hoyos, a Jet ready to leave the gang life behind, and wideeyed Maria, played by Alicia Culleton, the sister of Sharks leader, Bernardo, played by Tell Williams. When Tony and Maria unexpectedly meet and fall for one another, tension between the rival groups only escalates, leading to a bloody and senseless rumble that costs both sides young lives. In spite of the violence, the true story at the core of the show is two lovers trying to find a way to be together—and whether either can survive when hate and ignorance are unwilling. From the first notes to the final breath, “West Side Story” is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The cast of Narberth Community Theatre’s “West Side Story” features Laura Cilia (Anita), Ryan Simme (Riff), and Nick Adinolfi (Chino). The adults are played by Stephen Kuerschner (Doc), Neal Pizzano (Lt. Schrank), and Lee Schlesinger (Krupke).

Theatre Exile Presents the Philadelphia Premiere of “An Oak Tree” February 14 - March 10, 2019 heatre Exile continues its 2018-2019 season with the Philadelphia premiere of “An Oak Tree” by Tim Crouch. “An Oak Tree” is a darkly comic and moving play about loss, the power of suggestion, and the magic of the mind. A parent loses a child, a stage hypnotist loses his mojo, nothing is what it is. It’s like they’re in a play – but they don’t know the words. Theatre Exile favorite Pearce Bunting is joined by a new actor each night, who walks on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they’re in… until they’re in it. A breathtaking performance exploring a unique relationship – between a hypnotist and his subject, between one actor and another, and between an audience and the play itself. “A high-wire act, a crapshoot, the ultimate game of chance” is how Director Joe Canuso describes “An Oak Tree” by Tim Crouch. “I actually think it is the ultimate Exile show. We have always talked about our style of acting as ‘living in a moment of truth no matter how dangerous that moment is.’ There is nothing more dangerous and more truthful for an actor than not knowing what’s going to happen next and not knowing what the other actor is going to give you.” When asked about the casting of Pearce Bunting as The Hypnotist Canuso explained, “There is something very presentational about the play. Our audience is a part of the play by representing the audience at the Hypnotist’s show. I needed someone who could connect to an audience in a very special way but could also bring the depth of emotion and the psychological journey that the character is going through to the stage.” As for the second actors, “That was hard because there are so many talented actors in this city who could be up for the challenge of the role. I tried to find a good mix of people, some of whom have worked at Exile before and some of whom have not. Also, I wanted a good mix of types, both male and female and also different ages. The whole point of the play is that the second actor is a device that allows us to use our imagination to fill in all of the details.” Theatre Exile is especially excited to announce they are heading back home to 1340 S. 13th Street. The building will still be in progress, but it will be the perfect setting for the raw nature of “An Oak Tree.” “An Oak Tree” will be the first show in the new space. “We couldn’t have opened it with a more appropriate production. Everything in the building may not be finished and the paint may still be drying, but we will have lights and chairs and an empty stage and that’s what this play is about. It’s about the magic of theater. It’s about creating something from nothing. It’s about showing the artifice of art. And, it’s about the audience allowing their imagination to take them to a special place. There will be no set or lights or costumes to speak of in the traditional sense of theatricality. You will need to let your subconscious take over in the same way that you do when you stand in front of an intense painting and allow yourself to get lost in it.” said Canuso. “An Oak Tree” begins Thursday, February 14 and opens Wednesday, February 20, 2019. All performances are being held at Theatre Exile’s in progress space, 1340 S. 13th Street. Ticket prices range from $10 - $50. Ticket are available at Theatre Exile’s Box Office by calling 215-218-4022; visiting www.theatreexile.org; coming to the Theatre Exile Administrative Office, located at 2329 South 3rd Street on the third floor; or arriving to the Box Office for “An Oak Tree” an hour before each performance, located at Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA.

A la carte options are also available at additional charges. A handicapped accessible front entrance leads to the first level, a soaring ceilinged room housing a well-equipped working bar, booth seating, an open kitchen and a Stage area up four stairs to where the fully laden brunch tables are waiting. The Main Dining room on the third level is reached by stairs or an elevator in the lobby for the physically handicapped and the rest rooms are on the first floor. “We gutted the building except for the wood fired brick ovens where our in-house pastry chef bakes her French pastries and we make our rotisserie chickens and turkey breasts,” General Manager, Jonathan Vettori told me. “We also offer an à la carte menu option for guests who don’t want to eat a full buffet as they can order as much or a little as like.” Since I’m using a three-wheeled walker, we sat in a comfortable booth in the bar area across from the Raw Bar containing PEI Oysters and cold cooked shrimp. An open kitchen is at the end of the room where the professional staff were quietly working. I started my Sunday Brunch Buffet by making a shrimp cocktail with succulently sweet large shrimp, cocktail sauce, and freshly cut lemon wedge from the Raw Bar.

Join for a talk back about gun violence in our communities following the March 10 performance. Photo/Scott Grumling is the story of those vibrations. Ultimately delivering a message of hope and healing, this powerful docudrama crafted from interviews with members of the Newtown community challenges us to rethink our perceptions of mental illness, gun control, and public safety. In the style of “The Laramie Project,” 6 actors portray 19 characters from Newtown and Sandy Hook. During the run of “26 Pebbles,” Allens Lane Art Center will be hosting the photo exhibition “Souls Shot.” For this poignant project artists were paired with families of victims and created portraits to illuminate those precious lives. The goal is to encourage the viewer to focus beyond the statistics and see the individuals and the cost of gun violence to our human community. The variety of mediums and approaches used by the artists reflect the unique qualities of each soul depicted. For information on “Souls Shot” visit www.soulsshotportraitproject.org. The show will be presented at the Allens Lane Art Center, 601 West Allens Lane in Philadelphia on March 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 & 16 at 8 p.m. and matinees March 3, 10 & 17 at 2 p.m. Join for a talk back about gun violence in our communities immediately following the performance on March 10, 2019.

American Beauty Exhibition Features 50 Highlights from the Richard M. Scaife Bequest his spring the Brandywine River Museum of Art will present “American Beauty: Highlights from the Richard M. Scaife Bequest,” featuring the finest works from the bequest of Mr. Scaife—who left his impressive art collection to the Brandywine and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art following his death in 2014. Co-organized by the Brandywine and Westmoreland, “American Beauty” features 50 paintings – a top selection of 25 from each museum’s holdings – celebrating Scaife’s passion for the rich traditions of American art. The exhibition will be on view March 9 through May 27, 2019 at the Brandywine. A long-time trustee of the Brandywine – as well as a newspaper publisher and philanthropist – Scaife was also a passionate collector of American art. He bequeathed his entire Guy Pène du Bois, “The art collection to the Brandy- Appraisal,” ca. 1946, oil on wine and Westmoreland, speccanvas, 30 1/4 × 20 1/2 in. ifying that it be divided evenBrandywine River Museum ly between the museums with of Art.

This exhibition proYvonne Pène du Bois vides the first opportunity for McKenney the public to see the finest paintings from the Scaife collection. For the Brandywine, Scaife’s gift added significant depth to its landscape holdings, introducing extraordinary works by Martin Johnson Heade, John Frederick Kensett and Albert Bierstadt, as well as American Impressionist paintings by Theodore Robinson and Julian Alden Weir. Westmoreland’s collection was similarly enriched, including a stunning landscape by George Inness along with several marine paintings and elegant figurative works by artists such as William Merritt Chase and Guy Pène du Bois. Together, these paintings present a fascinating glimpse of one man’s vision and an overview of the evolution of American art in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. “The Richard M. Scaife bequest was a watershed moment in the history of the Brandywine River Museum of Art,” said Thomas Padon, The James H. Duff Director of the Brandywine River Museum of Art. “The works of art selected from Mr. Scaife’s collection bolstered and broadened the Brandywine’s holdings and its connection to the American landscape tradition.” “We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Brandywine for this exhibition,” commented Anne Kraybill, Richard M. Scaife Director/CEO of The Westmoreland Museum of American Art. “We are very thankful that Mr. Scaife left these works in trust to our museums to preserve for future generations to enjoy.” During his lifetime, Scaife surrounded himself with works of art at his two homes in Pittsburgh and Ligonier, Pennsylvania, as well as those in Pebble Beach, California and Nantucket, Massachusetts. In California and Massachusetts, he tended to collect the work of artists showing scenes of these locales. This was especially the case in Nantucket where he surrounded himself with nautical subject matter by both historical and contemporary artists. A broader selection of American art could be found at his two southwestern Pennsylvania homes, as well a handful of regional artists. Examples from all four of his residences are featured in this exhibition. Mr. Scaife believed in art’s power to enrich our existence and its ability to help us better understand the world and the issues facing us. Through his bequest, these works of art, once enjoyed privately in domestic settings, have become part of the public realm. As he wrote toward the end of his life: “Beautiful art – paintings, music, literature, whatever – can transform our moods, lighten our hearts, make us think or change our minds, inspire us to be creative or live better lives.” Support for the exhibition has been provided by donors to the Brandywine River Museum of Art Exhibition Fund including Linda L. Bean, the Davenport Family Foundation, William C. and Laura Buck, Mr. and Mrs. Robert V. Duprey/Hamilton Family Charitable Trust, Mr. and Mrs. Michael R.

New Statistics Released on Youth Suicide here is an epidemic sweeping across our country, yet very few are covering the topic. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new fatal injury data for the U.S. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for middle and high school aged youth. In fact, we are losing over 18 young people (ages 10 – 24) every day. That being said, suicide is one of the leading causes of PREVENTABLE death. Four out of every five young people who attempt suicide exhibit clear warning signs before an attempt. That means in 80% of attempts we have an opportunity to recognize these warning signs and intervene. By knowing the warning signs associated with suicide and knowing how to help, you could save a life. If you or someone you love is struggling with depression and/or thinking about suicide, get help now. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255), is a free resource that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for anyone who is in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The Jason Foundation is a nationally recognized leader in youth suicide prevention and awareness. All programs and materials are available to the public at no cost. To learn more about the warning signs associated with suicide and how you can help, visit their website. Visit www.jasonfoundation.com.

The Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at The Shipley School The Carol H.

Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive at The Shipley School will take place on Friday, March 1, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Shipley’s Yarnall Gymnasium (814 Yarrow Street, Bryn Mawr).

In recognition of The Shipley School’s 125th birthday this year, the Shipley community is working to collect at least 125 units of lifesaving blood at this drive. Those blood products will then be used to save the lives of as many as 375 hospital patients! The blood drive is open to the public, and all presenting donors will receive a gift bag and a t-shirt. Appointments can be scheduled at www.chablooddrive.org or by calling 1-800RED-CROSS (mention sponsor code “Shipley”).
