ANNENBERG CENTER LIVE PRESENTS WORLD PREMIERE OF VESSELS A Theatrical Performance that Explores Singing as a Survival Tool During the Slave Trade’s Middle Passage nnenberg Center Live presents the world premiere of Vessels, March 7-10. In this theatrical performance, seven women explore the transcendental possibilities of song as a survival tool during the slave trade’s Middle Passage. Set in an interactive, sculptural environment that invokes the infamous slave ships, this interdisciplinary performance considers the question “What does freedom sound like in a space of confinement?” Each performance will be followed by an opportunity for audience members to process the experience in an interactive setting with the performers. Co-producers Rebecca Mwase and Ron Regin say of the production, “Vessels has been guided by spirit and our ancestors from the beginning. The idea arrived in response to a query from poet Nikki Giovanni about how millions of enslaved ancestors arrived on this shore sane. We believe it was the singing, particularly women singing, that helped make those arrivals possible.” “With our many collaborators, we’ve co-created Vessels as an exercise in specAnnenberg Center Live presents the ulative history.

The yearly juried exhibition at the Flower Show celebrates the artistic development of its members while bringing their illustrations to an audience of thousands. Each piece of artwork will include a description of the myth, legend or lore associated with it. You might see Iris, the messenger of the Gods, or Rosemary the herb of remembrance, or Daffodil which represents vanity as told in the tale of Narcissus from which the flower gets its Latin name. While most botanical illustrators work in watercolor, you may see illustrations in other mediums as well.

Azuka Theatre Presents Philly Premiere of “Bob: A Life in Five Acts”
Continued from front page
zuka Theatre presents the return of the Virginia & Harvey Kimmel New Professionals Production with the Philadelphia Premiere of “Bob: A Life in Five Acts” by Peter Sinn Nachrieb. Bob chronicles the highly unusual life of Bob and his lifelong quest to become a “Great Man.” The play is a comedic exploration of American mythology and values, the treacherous pursuit of happiness, and discovering what it means to be truly “great.” This everyman tale is directed by Michael Osinski, who previously directed Azuka’s “Moth.” This new professional’s production features the rising talent of Paul Harrold, Sabriaya Shipley, Frank Jimenez, Claris Park and Dan D’Albis. “Bob” runs from February 27 to March 17, with opening night set for Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 7 p.m. Azuka continues its pay-whatyou-decide model for this show Paul Harrold (shown) will where audiences are invited to expeplay Bob, and the chorus of rience the art on stage and pay what they think it is worth after. dozens of other characters will For reservations, visit www.azuka- be played by Sabriaya Shipley, Frank Jimenez, Claris Park theatre.org. Bob runs 120 minutes, and Dan D’Albis. Azuka included one intermission, and is Theatre’s production of “Bob: recommended for audiences 15+. “Bob: A Life in Five Acts is full of A Life in Five Acts” runs from February 27 to March 17, wide-eyed characters that is a perwith opening night set for fect fit for a season about outcasts Saturday, March 2, 2019 and underdogs – and that also exat 7 p.m. plores the idea of masculinity, said Osinski. “The story is part Forrest Gump and part Candide. The main character is abandoned at birth in a White Castle. As he grows up he travels the country to find out how to be a great man – and how to get his name on a plaque and be ‘truly’ remembered. There is something light and entertaining about the show, but also sentimental too. While I will hope audiences decide for themselves if the show and ending our optimistic, I think there is an optimistic message that runs throughout the story.” “Bob: A Life in Five Acts” is a grand tale that spans birth to death, from America to Mexico, with dozens of true American characters along the way—all played by Philadelphia’s up-and-coming theatre stars. Born and abandoned in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, Bob energetically embarks on an epic journey across America and encounters inspiring generosity, crushing hardships, blissful happiness, stunning coincidences, wrong turns, lucky breaks, true love and heartbreaking loss. Along the way, Bob meets a myriad of fellow countrymen all struggling to find their own place in the hullaballoo of it all. Will Bob’s real life ever be able to live up to his dream? Audiences are invited to find out. “Bob” is part of Azuka’s season that focuses on people on the sidelines and the also-rans – but specially characters that feel alienated, motivated and warped by their concept of masculinity – along with its perils and pitfalls. “We are focusing the season on this idea of what does it mean to be a man in today’s world,” said Azuka Producing Artistic Director Kevin Glaccum. “The plays this year look at the ideas of masculinity – toxic and other wise – and what qualities add up to being a good man. Bob’s entire journey is based on this idea that he wants to be a ‘great man,’ and yet he has no idea what that even means.” “Bob” represents Azuka’s 8th New Professionals Production – shows that spotlight the talents of rising theatre stars in Philadelphia. Paul Harrold will play Bob, and the chorus of dozens of other characters will be played by Sabriaya Shipley, Frank Jimenez, Claris Park and Dan D’Albis. When asked why this play was a great fit for New Professionals, Osinski said, “The play is definitely a challenge for these young actors as they play nearly a half of dozen characters each. It is a great match for a New Professionals production as it lets them dive in and really show what they can do. There’s tons of rich material to work with.” “Bob” was written by Peter Sinn Nachrieb with the support of the Playwrights Foundation, San Francisco. The play received its World Premiere in March 2011 at The Humana Festival for New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville. The play went on to win the 2010 Barrie and Bernice Stavis Award from the National Theatre Conference. “Peter’s script fits in with what we say about many Azuka shows – they are funny until they aren’t, “added Glaccum. “The first thing that draws me to a play are the characters—and Bob has some of the funniest, quirkiest characters I’ve encountered in a long time.” The production team for “Bob” will serve up one tall (tale) order—and bring audiences on a cross-country journey that makes stops across America and into Mexico. The set features a large map of the United States. Actors will use found objects and magically pull props from areas on set the audience didn’t know existed. Osinski said, “It will resemble a live action illustrated story book for adults.” Azuka continues its commitment to the community by extending the innovative pay-what-you-decide box office initiative for the 2018-2019 season. Audience members for “Bob: A Life in Five Acts” will make a reservation for a show, see the production first and then pay what they decide based on the value of the experience. No money is exchanged before the show. Tickets will be available to reserve in advance as usual, but there is no obligation to pay until after the show. Patrons can then decide on a price which they think is suitable based on their experience. Ticket payment can be made after the performance by cash, check or credit card.

As part of this production, Azuka will present pre-show happy hours sponsored by Two Roads Brewing Company on March 8 and 15, 2019, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Azuka will end the 2018-2019 season with a exciting world premiere by a Philadelphia Playwright. “Boycott Esther” by Emily Acker, and directed by Maura Kause, will run from May 1-19, 2019, at the Proscenium Theatre at The Drake.

Echoing that sentiment and in time for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, is the film, “In Her Footsteps.” The movie, screening Saturday, March 30, at Jack Barrack Hebrew Academy in Bryn Mawr, shines a spotlight on the first time a Muslim is asked to be buried in a Jewish town and the controversy surrounding what makes up a community. The film has received multiple awards and the Director Rana Abu Fraiha will be the guest speaker. Marcia Bronstein, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee, (AJC) an organization committed to building inter-group and inter-religious relations explained, “Films like this make a powerful statement. They open dialogue and can help diametrically opposed groups find common ground. It is a way to combat hate.” To highlight Autism Awareness Month in April is “Shoelaces,” playing Sunday, March 31 at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. It is the touching story about the rights of a developmentally challenged son to donate a kidney to his estranged parent. Director Yankul Goldwasser, himself the father of a child with special needs, will attend the festival and answer questions after the film. “Shoelaces” is an engaging tale of optimism, warmth and the power of love, in an ever-shifting landscape.

Friends’ Central Debate Team Wins District 10 Debate Tournament
“Myscapes” Solo Exhibit Featuring New Works from Robert Blunk Opens March 9
ut of a field of 15 teams – including 10 public schools – Friends’ Central’s stellar debate team of juniors Jade Halpern, Ryan Jokelson, and Lindsey Schweitzer, won the PHSSL District 10 Parliamentary Debate Tournament on February 13, 2019. They are now heading to the State tournament, which takes place the weekend of March 15 at Bloomsburg University. Facing up against large public schools like Lower Merion, Harriton, Radnor, and Marple Newtown, Friends’ Central Upper School students Jade Halpern ’20, Ryan Jokelson ’20, and Lindsey Schweitzer ’20 proved more than up to the challenge, taking home the District 10 title for FCS. Having participated in Debate all three years of their high school careers so far, Jade, Ryan, and Lindsey really enjoy working and competing together. Jade shares, “I enjoy the Debate community, getting to work with Ryan and Lindsey, having the opportunity to be a leader, helping others to be their best selves, and learning new topics.

trends in Pennsylvania German folklore, especially as it pertains to beliefs and practices associated with the agricultural lifestyle, religious expression and observations of the heavens. Pennsylvania Dutch Traditional Paper Stars Workshop, Saturday, March 2, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., $20 per person includes materials. Elaine Vardjan and her son Matt Vardjan teach the art of creating folded paper “Froebel stars.” This old German paper craft, which comes to us via Pennsylvania Dutch craft traditions, was popularized in Germany by Friedrich Froebel in the early 1800s. “Star craft” is the art of combining individual stars to make other items, such as crosses, baskets and mobiles. Once you become familiar with the Froebel star, you’ll see its basic shape in the patterns of some of the barn stars painted on Pennsylvania German outbuildings. The workshop includes a guided look at Glencairn’s featured exhibition, “Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars.” No experience needed. Registration required by 5 p.m. Monday, February 25. Hex Sign Folk Art Tour of Berks County Bus Tour, Saturday, March 23, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., $65 per person/$50 Glencairn members, includes continental breakfast & box lunch. Join Patrick J. Donmoyer for an exploration of the “barn star region” of northern Berks County, an area with the highest concentration of decorated barns in Pennsylvania, with a special emphasis on the hills and dales of Albany Township and surrounding communities. Donmoyer, guest curator of Glencairn’s featured exhibition, “Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars,” leads this tour to discover a wide variety of traditional barn stars, also known as hex signs, and explore the folklore of this diverse and colorful artistic tradition. Must reserve seat by 5 p.m. Thursday, March 21.

July 1991. Siblings, sister and brother Chloe and Sam, and their spouses John and Sally, spend an explosive Fourth of July weekend together. After the death of her brother from AIDS, Sally has inherited a beach house in The Pines, an exclusive gay community on Fire Island. Family relationships, unspoken fears and forbidden longings are revealed despite the desperate sense of individual isolation, all set against the revelry of partying neighbors celebrating personal and patriotic freedom. Terrence McNally (born November 3, 1938) is an American playwright, librettist, and screenwriter who has won many awards including: multiple Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Lucille Lortel Awards, Obie Awards, an Emmy, and a Pulitzer Prize. Written in 1991 Lips Together, Teeth Apart won both the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play and the Lucille Lortel Award Winner, Outstanding Play in 1992. McNally believed that a play provided a forum for the ideas and feelings that could lead a society to decide to heal and change itself. David Richards, in The New York Times, called Lips Together, Teeth Apart “fascinating and ultimately quite touching.” Old Academy’s amazing cast includes: Caitlin Riley as Sally Truman, Danielle Foley as Chloe Haddock, Darin DeVivo as John Haddock, Eric Rupp as Sam Truman.
