D E M O N S T R AT I O N O F O R I E N TA L A R T The Friends of the Marple Public Library in Broomall present a free program titled “Dancing Brush and Rhythmic Ink.” The workshop offers a playful fusion of East and West Chinese Brush Paint ing demonstrated by Josephine C. Tsai. Josephine, a founder of the Chinese Brush Painters and Calligraphers Society USA, devotes much of her time to studying, sharing and practicing Chinese art.

At the same time, her artistic details invite the viewer to explore the spirit of the art. “My dancing brush and singing ink merge into my passion for the outside world and the joy of my inner being.” Participants will observe the balance of Yin and Yang in harmony and delight when brush and ink touch rice paper.

Much Ado About Nothing at The Stagecrafters hakespeare’s much-beloved English language classic Much Ado About Nothing, a perennial favorite worldwide, opened at The Stagecrafters on Friday, April 5. With a plot brimming with deceptions of all kinds, masquerading, eavesdropping, and trick-playing, the playwright created a high comedy of romance and villainy that has been delighting audiences throughout the world for more than 400 years!

affections ‘conquer all’, are put to the trying test of assorted misunderstandings and obstacles that others, and they themselves, throw into their paths. The continuing focus of attention is the hilarious and biting ‘merry war of the sexes’ waged by one of these duos, Beatrice and Benedick, whose verbal jousting features some of the author’s wittiest wordplay. William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. His works include 39 plays, plus a large body of sonnets and other poetry. He grew up in Stratford-Upon-Avon and enjoyed a long and successful career in London, not only as an actor/writer, but also part-owner of a production company called The Lord Chamberlain’s. His plays run the gamut: comedies … A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It; Twelfth Night; historical pieces: Henry V, Richard III; tragedies: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear. He is thought to have completed Much Ado About Nothing in 1598, though it did not have its first formal performance until the winter of 1612-1613 at the royal court. In productions over the centuries, its singular protagonists Benedick and Beatrice stand out as belonging among the most sought-after parts in theater repertories. The esteemed John Gielgud made Benedick the signature role of his career, from 1931 - 1959, opposite the Beatrices of Peggy Ashcroft and Margaret Leighton. Katherine Hepburn played Beatrice in a 1957 production at Stratford, Ontario. The longest Broadway run of the play, in 1972, showcased Sam Waterston as Benedick; the Tony Award for Best Actor in a leading role (Benedick) was earned by Derek Jacobi in 1984; and in 2013, James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave (both well past seventy!) held forth in a bold production at The Old Vic in London! Performance dates are: Friday, April 5 - Saturday, April 20. Tickets are available at $21 Online (no service charge), $25 At-door. (Thursday & Friday evening performances 2-for-$32 Online, 2-for-$35 At-door). Students with valid ID $15, Seniors $22 (At-door, any performance).

Well known for his songs about social justice, heritage and environmental issues, he toured for two years with his hugely successful political theatre piece Stephen Harper: The Musical. The full-length folk opera Hardscrabble Road debuted live in the fall of 2003 and proved to be one of his most ambitious works. Gordon has produced CDs for many Canadian folk artists, and his popular “Rhyme Capsules” songwriting-in-the-schools project has resulted in over two dozen CDs of songs by young composers.

Pat Ciarrocchi April Tasty Talks Speaker Realtor Michelle Leonard’s Tasty Talks Luncheon April 24 at Yangming at Ciarrocchi, former CBS3 Eye Witness anchor, will be the next Tasty Talks speaker at Yangming on Aril 24. Pat, the first female inducted into the Pennsylvania Broadcasters Hall of Fame, has been a local TV news anchor longer than any other woman. Tasty Talks founder and host, realtor Michelle Leonard, was thrilled that she had secured this native Philadelphian TV anchor as the April speaker. A graduate of Rosemont College, Pat Ciarrocchi began her broadcasting career in 1974 at WAMS Radio in Wilmington, then became a reporter for WHAG-TV in Hagerstown, MD. She joined CBS3 Eyewitness News in 1982, where she served as morning and noon co-anchor for nearly two decades. In 2001, she was promoted to co-anchor of CBS3’s Evening Magazine. Along with countless Philadelphia fans, she con- Pat Ciarrocchi, former CBS3 Eye Witness anchor, will speak at Realtor Michelle siders her reporting on Pope Leonard’s Tasty Talks on Wednesday, Francis’s 36 hours in PhilaApril 24 at Yangming, in Bryn Mawr. delphia to the culmination of her distinguished career. Ciarrocchi had worked in broadcasting for more than 40 years and had not been out of a job in all of that time. After 33 years at CBS3, Pat retired in 2015. She has made a place for herself with the audience and in the community. She called the next phase of her life and career a “rebooting.” Tasty Talks founder and host, Michelle Leonard, was particularly proud of this booking. Michelle said that Pat is like a part of everyone’s family and her back and forth with Ukie was always warm and intelligent. People happily welcomed her into their homes. Pat has selected Gaudenzia as the beneficiary of her Tasty Talk. A leader in addiction treatment since 1968, Gaudenzia annually serves over 17,000 individuals and families in PA, MD, DE, and D.C. affected by drug and alcohol dependency, mental illness and related conditions. Tasty Talks tickets are just $25 in advance ($30 at the door, if available) and includes hors d’oeuvres, a hearty familystyle lunch, dessert, tax, tip and charitable contribution.

UNTITLED at Inis Nua Theatre Continued from front page
“Inua Ellams’ writing is a masterful use of language and character. The audience is met with two competing narratives that at once directly contrast each other while at the same time remain hopelessly intertwined,” says Director Jerrell L. Henderson. Inua Ellams’ mysterious and wild play UNTITLED tells the story of twin boys born in Nigeria. Under the first full moon of their lives, they are given a traditional naming ceremony: one brother responds to his name with a baby’s laugh, the other cries out and rejects his name. These first moments shape their lives with the named brother (Y) leading a life of order with a plan, education, and predictable career and the unnamed brother (X) existing in a world of chaos, tumult and lack of follow-through. The two brothers are separated at 7 months old when Y is taken to England by their mother. X stays behind in Nigeria, until their deep connection forces them back together. UNTITLED was first read by Inis Nua’s Literary Manager in 2015 and was presented as a reading in their successful 2016/2017 Reading Series – Immigration Stories. The passionate audience response and unique theatrical style prompted the theatre company to produce a full production. Artistic Director Tom Reing wanted to bring the show to Philadelphia because “I like the blending of tradition and modernity. It’s a great role for an actor to perform.” The Stage called UNTITLED “bewitching” and The Guardian praised the show, saying “there is a great deal to enjoy in a piece that feels both modern and ancient, touched by the otherworldly yet grounded in reality.” UNTITLED was developed by England’s Fuel and Soho Theatre and first performed at the Bristol Old Vic in 2010. Originally performed by the playwright, Inis Nua will be the first company to mount their own production of UNTITLED, exploring this play that asks whether our fates are decided by ourselves, our cultures, or our family histories. The director and solo actor are both new to Inis Nua. Keith Illidge will be performing both brothers X and Y. The show is helmed by Guest Director Jerrell L. Henderson who Artistic Director Tom Reing says, “Has a reputation as a great collaborator with passion. He directed Salt, Pepper, Ketchup at InterAct and Passage Theatres this year and his status in Philadelphia theatre has grown. I felt his interest in folklore and mythology made him a great fit for the piece.” The dual nature of the play poses unique design challenges, with two locations (London and Nigeria) and two characters portrayed by the same actor. Actor Keith Illidge takes on the challenging role of playing both brothers. Keith is a Delaware native who has worked in film, TV, and theatre in Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago. He received a Black Theatre Alliance Award nomination for his portrayal of Lincoln in Suzan Lori Park’s “Topdog/Underdog” at Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre in Chicago. In Philadelphia, Keith has performed with Theatre in the X, Allens Lane, and the Prince Music Theatre. UNTITLED opens Friday, April 26, 2019 at 8 p.m., with preview performances Wednesday, April 24 and Thursday, April 25, at 7 p.m. It runs for a total of 15 performances through Sunday, May 12, at 2 p.m. All performances will take place at the Louis Bluver Theatre at the Drake, 302 South Hicks Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102. South Hicks Street is right next to The Drake apartment building at 1512 Spruce Street. The Takeaway – special post-show talks – will be held after the 7 p.m. performances on Wednesdays, May 1 and 8. The Takeaway is a post-show exploration of the play’s themes and relevant events by guest scholars and theatre practitioners. The May 1 Takeaway will feature a conversation with Nigerian-American textile artist Yemisi Ajayi about her work. The May 8 Takeaway will feature the actor and members of the production team. Tickets are on sale for $15-$35 by calling 215-454-9776 or visiting https://inisnuatheatre.org. To learn more, like Inis Nua Theatre Company on Facebook and follow @InisNua Theatre on Twitter and @inisnuatheatre on Instagram. Inis Nua’s mission is to produce contemporary, provocative plays from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales which reflect those cultures’ new identities in today’s world. Inis Nua also seeks to cultivate and produce contemporary, provocative work from American playwrights who deal with the Irish-American, Welsh-American, Scottish-American and AngloAmerican experiences.

The Neumann University eSports team includes – (seated) Deidre Turner of Pittsgrove, NJ, and Gabrielle Wilson of Sharon Hill, PA; and (standing) Darryl Richardson of Philadelphia, PA, Nicholas Kelly of Mullica Hill, NJ, Daekwon Sequira of New Castle, DE, and Duncan McNeil of Cheshire, CT. e compete in teams of two and the winner is based on whoever receives the highest number of (on-screen) kills,” says Deidre Turner, who is one of the six members of Neumann University’s new eSports team. In the fall of 2018, Neumann began its inaugural season in ECAC eSports, a league of online video gaming which began in 2016. It currently includes 23 schools and 117 teams with competition in a variety of games such as Fortnite, League of Legends, FIFA, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Super Smash Bros. Neumann’s eSports team participates mainly in the Fortnite competitions. Released in 2017, Fortnite is an increasingly popular video game that requires both strategy and skill. The game is set after a storm causes 98% of the population to disappear, and the survivors are attacked by zombie-like creatures. The players take the role of commanders whose troops collect resources, save survivors, and defend equipment to push back the storm. There are three different versions of the game – Fortnite: Save the World, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Fortnite Creative. Esports allows players to apply their skillset in a competitive environment that is more than just a popular pastime. Leading up to these competitions, members of the Neumann eSports team practice both individually and as a team. Despite many practices and matches being held solely online, there are still social connections being made within the club and outside of it. “The biggest thing is that you get to meet so many cool people through eSport matches,” says Duncan McNeil, who practices with members from opposing teams. “It’s all about the connections that are made.” Occasionally, the ECAC hosts in-person tournaments. These matches can be attended physically or streamed online. In some ways, ECAC eSports is very comparable to other collegiate sports. “Similar to most sports, there is a playoff structure within the ECAC. I am not currently aware of a national competition that would expand outside of that, but new leagues are forming every day, so I would not be surprised if that is on the horizon,” says David Deal, director of campus recreation. Esports is certainly gaining popularity. Comcast Spectator recently announced that it will be constructing an eSports gaming arena in the very near future. The 3,500-seat arena will house a large audience that can watch players compete in their video games. According to a February 2019 article in Inside Higher Ed, some universities are incorporating eSports into their academic programs and others are elevating clubs to full team status. Several colleges have even begun offering eSports scholarships. The National Association of Collegiate Esports, which began in 2016 with six members, has grown to include 128 colleges. This popularity is an indication that the Neumann University eSports club may grow. “Similar to most sports teams at Neumann University, the eSports club is always open for new members,” says Deal. In fact, the team is actively recruiting and is looking to expand into other games.

Kahn presents a wholly unique life that includes acting on stage at age nine, befriending actor Robert Preston, helming a pirate radio station at age eleven, the meteoric rise in his career as a jazz pianist, bandleader, musical archivist, jazz educator, arranger, producer for major record labels and as the co-owner of an influential recording studio in Philadelphia where artists like Stevie Wonder, Princess Grace of Monaco, The Gipsy Kings, Astrud Gilberto, Mayor Frank Rizzo, Bobby Rydell and The Dixie Hummingbirds came through its doors.

Give Blood with the Red Cross During National Volunteer Month he American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood and platelets during National Volunteer Month this April. Eligible donors of all blood types – especially type O – are needed to help ensure blood products are available for patients this spring. Nearly half of the public knows someone who has been helped by a blood transfusion. For many volunteer blood donors, like Gail Wright, that personal connection serves as inspiration to give. Wright’s brother was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in 1982 and needed several blood transfusions during his four-month recovery. She lived over 120 miles away at the time. Unable to be near him, she decided she could help by donating blood. Wright has continued to donate and recently completed her 11th gallon of donated blood – 88 lifesaving blood donations. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions, EDUCATION NEWS and the Red Cross salutes the volunteer blood and platelet donors who help fulfill its lifeStudents Inducted into The Haverford School’s Cum Laude Chapter saving mission. While donors of all blood types are needed, the Red Cross currently has a severe shortage of type O blood donations and urges type O donors to give now. Those who come to donate by April 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a full-size Iron Throne from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Terms and conditions apply and are available at www.RedCrossBlood.org/HBOGameofThrones. T Make an appointment to help save lives now by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Holy Child School at Rosemont Faculty and Staff Honored During Family Mass
Holy Child School at Rosemont congratulates the members of their faculty and staff who are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year. Shown are – Megan Trost (5 years), Elise Baker (5 years), Molly Hajas (5 years), Matt Nuttall (5 years), Tina Abate (15 years), Kit Tosti (15 years), Harold Simmons (10 years), Joanne McGee (10 years), Robin Beaver (20 years), Steve Clarke (40 years), and Helen Gambescia (30 years). Not pictured: Kyle Dunn (5 years), Kathryn Tucci (5 years), and Susan Leighton (10 years). oly Child School at Rosemont’s community came together for their annual Family Mass at Rosemont College’s Immaculate Conception Chapel, presided over by Father Tony Burrascano, O.S.A. During the Mass, members of their faculty and staff were honored for celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, including a 40 year anniversary. Steve Clarke has been a teacher at Holy Child for 40 years, but his Holy Child journey originally began in 1963 when he enrolled as a preschool student. He graduated from Holy Child in 1973 and was hired as an assistant teacher and football coach at the school in 1979. Steve is not only a faculty member and alumnus, but he is also a parent who sent his two daughters, Kerry (Class of 2001) and Stephanie (Class of 2003), through the school. “What I treasure most about Holy Child are the relationships that I have developed with different people over the years,” Steve reflected. “To me, it is more than just the place where I work; it is truly my second family. I feel a tremendous sense of pride when I see members of that family go out into the world and become successful people, not just within their occupations, but also at life in general.” Holy Child School at Rosemont congratulates all the members of their faculty and staff who are celebrating milestone anniversaries: Elise Baker (5 years), Kyle Dunn (5 years), Molly Hajas (5 years), Matt Nuttall (5 years), Megan Trost (5 years), Kathryn Tucci (5 years), Susan Leighton (10 years), Joanne McGee (10 years), Harold Simmons (10 years), Tina Abate (15 years), Kit Tosti (15 years), Robin Beaver (20 years), Helen Gambescia (30 years), and Steve Clarke (40 years).
