Photo/ Kimberly K. Reilly In Victorian London a pair of wily bachelors masquerade as respectable gentlemen to court the attentions of two welldowried ladies. Gallant Jack and irreverent Algernon invent “Ernest” alter-egos to win the hearts of Cecily and Gwendolen, each of whom conveniently claims she’ll only marry a man by that name. When all four arrive at Jack’s country home on the same weekend, the men struggle to keep up with their stories as their plans go hilariously awry. With its witty wordplay, caustic commentary and blistering banter, Earnest is a riotously funny farce for the ages. Director Valerie Joyce will bring Wilde’s tea-and-crumpet-infused comedy to life with an approach that brings out his complex social commentary. A witty satire of the Victorian Era, Earnest skewers the façade of propriety, hypocritical habits, and the social and sexuSee “The Importance of Being Earnest” at Villanova Theatre page 6

At Fort Mifflin on Saturday, April 6, view a poster exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Ser vice plus additional images and artifacts, The Great War Remembered explores the impact of the conflict both “over there” and “over here.” Experience battlefield action with a visit to Casemate Cinema featuring the early 20th century film “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Peek into the personal side of the war with excerpts from the correspondence between sweethearts Violet and Henry Call. The American Red Cross and the Comfort Committee of the Navy League were instrumental in “home front” support of the troops by enlisting members for the Wool Brigades – knitters producing socks, sweaters, scarves and more for those serving in the armed forces. Try your own hand and take a few stitches on a scarf or BYOP (bring your own project) and “Knit Your Bit” at the Fort’s knit-in from 11 a.m. till noon. Participants will take home a circa 1917 Red Cross pattern. After American entry into the war in 1917 repairs were made to the Soldiers Barracks, Commandant’s House, Hospital and one of the magazines on the Water Battery, and Fort Mifflin stood ready for service. The Fort was connected by a narrow rail line to the US Army Corps of Engineers facility, and the adjacent Naval Ammunition Depot. Experience World War I come to life at an actual “home front” defense site. This event will be held on Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. Tickets ($6 - $10) in advance at www.FortMifflin.us or at the event entrance. FREE parking.

osemont College’s Institute for Ethical Leadership and Social Responsibility will host a symposium on Friday, April 5, 2019. The symposium, titled “Machines, Minds, and Morality: Ethics in a Changing Technological World,” will take place in the Rotwitt Theater and Dorothy McKenna Brown Science Building on campus from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (breakfast and registration starting at 8:30 a.m.). The keynote address will be given by David J. Farber, one of the early pioneers of the development of the Internet. This event is free and open to the public. Registration details, schedule of events, and speaker bios are available online at rosemont.edu/symposium. “Machines, Minds, and Morality: Ethics in a Changing Technological World” will examine how advances in technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence give rise to significant ethical questions, even before these technologies become embedded in our daily lives. Speakers and panelists include: David J. Farber, PhD, Co-Director of the Cyber Civilization Research Center at Keio University (Tokyo), Pioneer Member of the Internet Hall of Fame; and Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Sorelle Friedler, PhD, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, Haverford College. Bilita Mattes, EdD, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Harrisburg University; Executive Director, STEM-UP Network. Dr. Farber’s keynote address, “The Benefits, Dangers and Dilemmas of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence” will consider both the benefits and dangers of artificial intel-
ligence, highlighting some of the ethical dilemmas that emerge in this rapidly growing field. His pioneering research at Bell Labs in the 1950s contributed to the development of the Internet as we know it today. Dr. Sorelle Friedler will deliver the second keynote, “Fairness and Abstraction: Algorithmic Discrimination and Attempts to Address it.” A culminating roundtable discussion moderated by Sydney Weinstein (Society for Information Management) will include Dr. Farber (Keio University), Dr. Friedler (Haverford College), and Dr. Bilita Mattes (Provost and CAO, Harrisburg University). “There is no denying that machine learning and artificial intelligence can make all of our lives much easier and more productive,” said Dr. Lisa M. Dolling, Provost and VP for Academic and Student Affairs, and Professor of Philosophy at Rosemont College. “At the same time, these new frontiers not only raise important ethical issues, but force us to rethink what it means to be human. We are thrilled to host this symposium to provide a platform to discuss some of the complexities involved and hopefully set the stage for some possible solutions.” Rosemont College’s Institute for Ethical Leadership and Social Responsibility was launched with a view to raising the visibility of moral issues and providing opportunities for student leadership and community engagement throughout our academic programs and extracurricular activities. The Institute is committed to helping students develop the knowledge and skills necessary for becoming reflective and active citizens who recognize the importance of contributing to the broader values and needs of society.

From the Tony Award®-winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime and inspired by the beloved films, ANASTASIA is the new Broadway musical that’s “one of the most gorgeous shows in years!” (New York Observer). This dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anastasia, or Anya, enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family. “We are delighted to host guests of all ages on a ‘journey to the past’ as this show premieres for the first time in Philadelphia as part of our Cultural Campus’ Broadway Philadelphia season,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “Whether you’re a longtime ‘FAN-astasia’ or brand new to this beloved story, we know the dazzling costumes and soaring score will transport you from Russia to Paris, all from the comfort of your seat in the City of Brotherly Love!” ANASTASIA features a book by celebrated playwright Terrence McNally, a lush, new score by Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics), and direction by Tony Award®-winning director Darko Tresnjak. ANASTASIA began Broadway performances on March 23, 2017 at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street). The new musical has played to soldLila Coogan (Anya) and Stephen Brower (Dmitry) in the National Tour of ANASTASIA. Photo by Evan Zimmerman, MurphyMade out crowds on Broadway since officially opening in April 2017, in addition to garnering multiple Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle awards and nominations. The original Broadway cast recording is available at BroadwayRecords.com, Amazon.com and iTunes. The 75-minute album includes the Academy Award-nominated favorite “Journey to the Past” alongside new numbers from the show such as Christy Altomare’s haunting “In My Dreams,” Ramin Karimloo’s passionate “Still,” and Derek Klena’s heart-racing “My Petersburg.” Tickets are on sale to the public and start at $20.

here can you find animals like the “zeal,” the “frosttooth tiger,” the “white tiger slizard,” and the “butterchimp?” The Third Grade Zoo! On Wednesday, February 27, third graders took over the Ulmer Family Light Lab on the School’s Old Gulph Road campus, transforming each of the Light Lab's four studios into an Antarctic wonderland. For their Fall Project, the third grade studied Antarctica, learning about the climate, geography, wildlife, and population of the country through a multitude of hands-on activities and explorations. Students discovered that animals have to adapt to the cold, severe climate in order to survive in Antarctica. Third grade teacher Taylor Salvitti explains, “While discussing climate and wildlife, we introduced students to the concept of animal adaptations and how very few plants and animals on Antarctica can manage to survive in the harsh climate there. Once students had an understanding of what animals would need to survive on Antarctica, they began creating their own animals that could potentially live on the continent.” Led by Salvitti, fellow third grade teacher Joe Dubb, and Light Lab Director Brie Daley, students visited the Light Lab twice a week from December through February, using an array of materials to construct their new species. Familiar animals from multiple parts of the world were chosen and then modified to ensure survival in Antarctica’s climate. For example, the “zeal,” created by Suheir, was a zebra/seal hybrid, with the stripes of a zebra and the hair of a seal, as well as pipe cleaners for whiskers. Suheir shares some of the process, “We studied about our animal first, and then we had to research it and come up with fun facts. Then we drew what it would look like before we made it.” To create her zeal, Suheir says, “I used decoration tape, cardboard tape, feathers, google eyes, hot glue, pipe cleaners and yarn.” Teddy illustrates some of the challenges of inhabiting a place like Antarctica. “It’s a very cold, hard place to live, and animals need all this special stuff to even live there,” he says. “They need blubber if they swim or a furry body. It’s mostly just animals who live there, not humans, because it’s so cold.” The culminating project was the Zoo itself, where parents, teachers, and students were able to go from room to room to see the new species. Salvitti shares, “We welcomed parents and FCS classes into the Light Lab to visit the 35 exhibits of the new creatures. Students dressed up in costume and prepared a short script to welcome visitors to their exhibit and tell all about their animal.” Students were able to truly let their creativity and problem-solving skills shine. From learning about the country of Antarctica to choosing and creating their animal and their script, students used a variety of cross-curricular skills for this project – including reading, researching, writing, problem-solving, and visual and performing arts – through the process of planning and building their projects. After students created their animals, they wrote a scientific journal entry announcing the discovery of the new species. Kiki explains that she came up with her animal, the “Antarctic sea turtle,” because “the sea turtle is my favorite animal, and I got to know even more about it after I did my research. It had to adapt to Antarctica, so I had to make changes to its DNA.” Ava shares what really brought the zoo to life. “When we were done making the Zoo, to make it realistic, we made a map to describe which animals were on which floor and which room,” she says. “We also made name tags, and to make it even more realistic, we dressed up into costumes.” Over the more than two-month project, the third graders learned many different things, about Antarctica and its inhabitants. Suheir explains, “I’ve learned a lot about the different type of species – the penguins stick up for each other, and with the seals, the Mom makes sure the baby is safe. They care about each other just like we do.”

Both students were awarded with regional Gold Keys in February before advancing to national competition. “Toby’s and Yan’s work is inspiring,” said Patrick Andrén, Head of Upper School. “Their willingness to stretch themselves, to take intellectual risks, and to explore thought-provoking subjects is what I hope all of our students will aspire to do in their own areas of interest.” Graf and Ma will both receive medals and certificates for their achievement. Their work will also be considered for national exhibition, publication, and scholarship opportunities. Haverford School junior Toby Ma’s painting “At the Ruins” was awarded a National Silver Key by the Scholastic Art Awards. Ma says the inspiration from the piece came from abstract and surrealist artists he has studied. Graf earned his National Gold Key in the Journalism category. His piece, “European Migration: The View from North Africa,” details the immigration crisis and geopolitical implications. Graf completed his work, which is part one of a three-part story, after visiting Africa and Europe in 2018. “The most difficult part about writing this story was trying to find refugees and people willing to talk to me,” said Graf. “It was outside my comfort zone, and it was nerve-wracking to interview the refugees I met in Spain and Morocco, especially considering the language barrier, but the experience will stay with me forever.” Ma’s painting “At the Ruins” was awarded a National Silver Key. Ma says the inspiration for his piece came from abstract and surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí and Wassily Kandinsky. “I wanted to create a contrast between familiar and other-worldly elements,” said Ma. “I was inspired by both classical architecture and abstraction, so in my painting I placed abstract structures in the middle of old ruins, which creates an incongruity that I think makes the painting really interesting.” To see Graf’s and Ma’s work, and to see other award-winning pieces, go to www.haverford.org/writingawards and www.haverford.org/artawards.
