alnut Street Theatre continues its landmark 205th season with Broadway’s classic madcap comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Directed by Charles Abbott, this 75th Anniversary production begins previews on March 11, opens on March 19 and runs through April 27 on the Walnut’s Mainstage. Drama critic Mortimer Brewster is engaged to the lovely Elaine Harper... but will she fit in with his ‘unusual’ family? Abby and Martha Brewster are known throughout Brooklyn for their many acts of kindness and charity. But Mortimer has just learned that his charming spinster aunts have taken to relieving the loneliness of old men by inviting them in for a nice glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and “just a pinch” of cyanide! And, his brother believes that he’s Teddy Roosevelt! What else can go wrong? Audiences will find out in “Arsenic and Old Lace,” one of the American theatre’s funniest comedies. Written by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, “Arsenic and Old
Lace” premiered on Broadway in January, 1941 and ran for 1444 performances. The show gained popularity after the film version was released in 1944 starring Cary Grant and directed by Frank Capra. Members of the original Broadway cast, including Jean Adair Damon Bonetti and Jennie Eisenhower in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Photo/J. Urdaneta Photography
(Martha Brewster), Josephine Hull (Abby Brewster), and John Alexander (Teddy Brewster), were given permission to leave the stage production for a short while to reprise their roles in the film. A Broadway revival came in June, 1986 at the 46th Street Theatre. Kesselring was a native New Yorker. During his career he wrote twelve plays, four of which were produced on Broadway. “Arsenic and Old Lace” was his most successful. The play’s original title, Bodies in Our Cellar, was changed by producers before See “Arsenic and Old Lace” on page 10

We salute the collectors for bringing this opportunity to the Arts League so we can share it with the community.” The show will include approximately 25 paintings, small sculptures and photographs. It was curated by artist Douglas Witmer and award-winning photographer Lori Waselchuk, who are on the gallery committee of the Arts League. The University City Arts League is a community not-for profit organization that has been serving the community for 45 years through some 60 different classes throughout the year for adults and children, including an active pottery studio, an art gallery, dance studios and outreach in the community.

Innovative After-School Music Program Enhances Academic and Social Skills in a Safe and Nurturing Environment omething transformative is happening these days in Ben Mulholland’s after school music class at St. Francis de Sales School in West Philadelphia. The kids, all participants in the innovative Play On, Philly! (POP) music program, are composing their own melodies. In fact, their first group composition, “Symphony in the Key of Unity,” was performed as a side-by-side with Orchestra 2001 at its recent tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Students from St. Francis de Sales and Freire Charter Middle schools comprised the POP Symphony Orchestra. In response to the growing demand for music education in the city, Play On, Philly! (POP), was started 3 years ago to bring intensive music instruction to underserved communities and now serves over 200 youngsters grades K – 8 at two sites: St. Francis de Sales School in West Philadelphia and Frerie Charter Middle School in Center City.

All students Orchestra 2001, Nazir Ebo, Yonata Alemu and Kaleb Messele. are trained to perform in POP ensembles and orchestras. According to POP Chief Executive Officer Stanford Thompson, music education may be a key to closing the growing achievement gap seen in Philadelphia. Only about sixty percent of Philadelphia students graduate high school and a mere ten percent graduate college. “POP addresses these important educational and societal concerns by using intensive music instruction to impart the academic, cognitive and social skills associated with success,” explained Thompson. “It’s well researched that musical study develops the skills and motivation children need to succeed in school and throughout their lives. We designed our program to keep our most vulnerable resources, our children, engaged at high-risk times of the day outside of school.” In addition to musical training, the POP experience is enhanced by visits from world-class musicians and conductors, and performances and partnerships with local orchestras and universities. “World-renowned conductor Sir Simon Rattle introduced POP as “…the future for all of us” when the POP Symphony Orchestra performed with him at a Philadelphia Orchestra concert last year. It was the second such performance for the young musicians.

The thing I like best is being with my friends and playing music.” For info, visit www.playonphilly.org. To arrange a site visit contact Ilene Miller at 610-3046451, Ilene@playonphilly.org.

Penn Vet Expert to Discuss Treatments for Dogs with Epilepsy During Free Animal Lovers Lecture n Saturday, March 1 at 10 a.m., Dr. Charles Vite, associate professor and section chief of neurology and neurosurgery, will present a special lecture, “Epilepsy – Collaborative Research at Penn Vet,” as part of Penn Vet’s Animal Lovers Lecture Series. The free event will take place at the Hill Pavilion located at 380 S. University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Reservations are recommended and can be made by contacting John Campbell at 215-746-7460 or johnrc@vet.upenn.edu. Dr. Vite will discuss the causes and treatment of epilepsy in dogs, as well as the latest in patient care. Naturally occurring epilepsy in dogs has a prevalence, age of onset, and signs similar to those found in people. The majority of dogs with recurrent seizures have no intracranial structural defect, no demonstrable serum or spinal fluid abnormalities, and no abnormal neurological findings when not seizing. During the Animal Lovers Lecture Series, faculty and clinicians at Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital share current information on topics of interest and relevance to dog and cat owners throughout the region. Penn Vet is a global leader in veterinary medicine education, research, and clinical care. Founded in 1884, Penn Vet is the only veterinary school developed in association with a medical school. The school is a proud member of the One Health Initiative, linking human, animal, and environmental health. Penn Vet serves a diverse population of animals at its two campuses, which include extensive diagnostic and research laboratories. Ryan Hospital in Philadelphia provides care for dogs, cats, and other domestic/companion animals, seeing nearly 33,000 patients a year. New Bolton Center, Penn Vet’s large-animal hospital on nearly 700 acres in rural Kennett Square, PA, cares for horses and livestock/farm animals, treating 33,000 patients each year – 4,100 in the hospital and 29,000 at farms through the Field Service. In addition, New Bolton Center’s campus includes a swine center, working dairy, and poultry unit that provide valuable research for the agriculture industry. For information, visit www.vet.upenn.edu.

resent the festival’s 60-year goal: to bring the best and brightest jazz musicians to present musical experiences that fans will remember for a lifetime.” Newport Jazz Festival’s 60 year history is testament to the festival’s validity, historic pulse and continued relevancy as a communal gathering ground that has attracted legendary jazz artists—some of the first acts booked included Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk to Dave Brubeck, Tony Bennett, Bobby McFerrin. The festival has produced historic recordings such as Miles Davis’ “Round Midnight” and Paul Gonsalves’ 27-chorus solo on Duke Ellington’s “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue.” Today young jazz talent continues to flock to the Rhode Island town, as the festival continues to be a fervent source of inspiration, and ignites a progressive, forward movement toward translating jazz, in all its variety, for the next generation. Tickets are available from $28 to $60 at kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the Kimmel Center Box Office located on Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, PA (open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., later on performance evenings).

At the Walnut, he has served in many different capacities including actor, director, and choreographer for 28 productions.
