Voting in elections is often considered the paradigmatic act of modern democratic citizenship. In “Democracy Beyond the Vote,” award-winning political scientist Jeffrey Edward Green will argue that if we limit our focus to voting and electoral outcomes, we mistakenly forget about a richer and more ambitious program of democratic empowerment. He will speak at 11 a.m., Sunday, April 22, at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 S. Rittenhouse Square. Jeffrey Edward Green is associate professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is also the director of the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy. He is an award winning of two books, “The Shadow of Unfairness: A Plebeian Theory of Liberal Democracy,” and “The Eyes of the People: Democracy in an Age of Spectatorship.”All are welcome to the program and following coffee hour.

But, to Charles’ dismay, her botched séance brings forth a series of happenings that the seemingly unflappable Charles is totally at a loss to cope with. This singularly outlandish romantic farce, which treats mortality with a large dose of frivolity, continues after seven decades to play with grace, wit, and elegance that make it unsurpassed in the comedic arena. Noël Coward (1899-1973), playwright, composer, actor and singer, created upwards of fifty published plays over a span of some six decades, and performed in a good many of them! Among his best-known are Hay Fever (1925); Private Lives (1930); Design For Living (1932); Present Laughter (1939); and of course, Blithe Spirit, which to this day “… can still keep an audience in a state of tickled contentment.” (The New York Times). Written in 1941, it premiered in the West End in London, enjoying a record nearly 2000 performances, later moving to Broadway to run nearly 700 performances. Coward adapted it to a film version in 1945, featuring Rex Harrison as Charles, and directed a musical rendition, High Spirits, in 1964. The play has enjoyed numerous revivals: among others, on Broadway in 1987, with Blythe Danner as Elvira; in the West End in 2004; again on Broadway in 2009, with a notable turn by Angela Lansbury as Madame Arcati; and a West End revival in 2014 with Lansbury reprising her role as Arcati (at the age of 88!). Upcoming performance dates are: April 19 - 29, Thu. - Sat. at 8 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at $21 Online (no service charge), $25 At-door. (Thu. & Fri. eve performances 2-for-$32 Online, 2-for-$35 At-door). Students with valid ID $15, Seniors $22 (At-door, any performance). Groups of 15 or more are offered a reduced rate of $15 a ticket, paid in advance. The box office opens 45 minutes before each performance.

The parade has changed over the years, reflecting the changing interests and concerns of the Irish-American community, but at the center has always been the historical figure of St. Patrick, patron saint of the Emerald Isle.” Immaculata University is a comprehensive, Catholic, coeducational institution of higher education, located on the Main Line between Malvern and Exton, 20 miles west of Philadelphia.

Inis Nua Presents “Our Few and Evil Days” Continued from front page
to possess them? What happens when love turns to violence? When the play premiered at the historic Abbey Theatre in Dublin in 2014, Mark O’Rowe was already an established and celebrated playwright for his works Terminus and Howie the Rookie. But Our Few and Evil Days was his first play since 2007, and it surprised audiences familiar with his more fantastical previous works with a realistic set and characters. His dialogue also shifted from monologues to a fine-tuned, sparse and overlapping naturalism, which even O’Rowe admitted many critics would see as “a graduation” (The Irish Times). Inis Nua Artistic Director Tom Reing will direct, marking the second time he and Inis Nua have tackled an O’Rowe play, the other being Made in China in 2009. Theatergoers may also recognize O’Rowe from his work as a screenwriter, including Intermission (2003) with Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell and Boy A (2007) with Andrew Garfield. “O’Rowe’s work was one of the reasons I wanted to found Inis Nua and focus on new work from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales,” says Reing. “His work is visceral and his language is piercing and tactile...I’m glad to revisit his work and bring it to Philadelphia audiences.” Veteran Philadelphia actress Nancy Boykin, who was nominated at last year’s Barrymore Awards for her performance in When The Rain Stops Falling at the Wilma Theater, plays Adele’s mother Margaret. It’s a role that will showcase Boykin at her most captivating and Philadelphia theater fans will find plenty to rejoice in watching her talents at work in this gripping show. Amy Frear joins Boykin as the caring, naïve Adele and Andrew Criss plays the loving but volatile Michael, Adele’s father and Margaret’s husband. Also in the cast are Nicholas Roesler (Gary) and Liam Mulshine (Dennis). Frequent Inis Nua collaborator Meghan Jones will design the set, with lighting by Andrew Cowles, another Inis Nua veteran. Returning from the Love, Lies and Taxidermy team will be dramaturg Alix Rosenfeld and costume designer Eleni Delopoulos. Avista Custom Theatrical will handle props, and Flannel and Hammer’s Lauren Tracy and Joe Daniels will serve as Production Manager and Technical Director, respectively. Tickets are on sale for $25-$35 by calling 215-454-9776 or visiting www.inisnuatheatre.org. Like Inis Nua Theatre Company on Facebook and follow @InisNua Theatre on Twitter.

that lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death in young athletes and children. Friends’ Central School was honored to par tner with Simon’s Fund to hold a free heart screening event on the School’s City Avenue campus for students ages 12-19 on April 8. Darren Sudman, co-founder of Simon’s Heart, was on hand at the screening to receive the donation check from FCA Director Iain Anderson. Simon’s Heart was founded by Darren and Phyllis Sudman after the death of their infant son, Simon, in 2005. Simon was a seemingly healthy three-month-old baby boy who died suddenly in his sleep. After encouragement from their pediatrician to get their hearts checked, Phyllis discovered a heart condition called Long QT Syndrome, which has been linked to approximately 15% of sudden infant deaths. The Sudmans started Simon’s Heart so that no other parent would lose a child to a heart condition that was detectable and treatable. To date, Simon’s Heart has provided 15,564 heart screenings to schoolaged children and saved 113 lives. Every other year, FCA hosts a Swim-A-Thon to raise money and awareness for a designated charitable cause and the FCA program. Past Swim-A-Thons have raised money to help a Louisiana swim team that lost its home to Hurricane Katrina, helped American swimmers as they train for and compete in the Olympics; supported “Make A Splash” Foundation, a USA Swimming Foundation initiative focused on promoting water safety for children in economically underprivileged communities; and raised money for the Fran Crippen Elevation Foundation (FCEF), created to honor the memory of swimmer Fran Crippen by supporting athletes in the pursuit of their athletic dreams. In 2015, FCA partnered with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a locally based organization dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancer. The Swim-A-Thon, held in November 2017, was an outstanding success, in large part because the swimmers felt so inspired by the mission of Simon’s Heart. There were over 110 participants, and, altogether, the FCA swimmers swam approximately 9,182 laps, 459,100 yards, which is the rough equivalent of 278 miles! “We are so incredibly touched by this contribution,” expressed Sudman. “Every donation is meaningful, but this one is really special because it came from the hard work and determination of students. They essentially swam a relay to Boston so that we could continue protecting hearts and saving lives. We’ll remember this one for a very long time.” Congratulations and fantastic job by each FCA swimmer – what a tremendous athletic and philanthropic effort for a very worthy cause! “Top 3” Lap Swimmers and “Top 3” Fundraisers of the Friends’ Central Aquatics Swim-a-Thon Novice – Laps: 3rd - Ethan Shade, 2nd - Max Strick, 1st - Caroline Whitney: 57 laps.

M AIN L INE M ATH F ESTIVAL A PRIL 22 o celebrate April as Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, Golden Key Russian School and Main Line Classical Academy are organizing the Main Line Math Festival for children where kids will have a chance to explore and experience math in a new way. The idea to have a local math festival originated a couple of years ago when the two schools put on a few small-scale events primarily targeted at their own students. “We hear about art, music and theater festivals all the time. There are beer festivals and even mushroom festivals. But math festivals are much less common. The National Math Festival only happens once every two years and it is in Washington, DC,” says Alexandra Fradkin, Princeton math PhD who teaches at both programs and is the author of a recently-published children’s math-inspired fantasy adventure titled “Funville Adventures.” The truth of the matter is that math is something that can be just as beautiful or creative as art or music and deserves to be celebrated. The festival organizers aim to show kids that they can really have fun with math. This year the focus of the festival is to touch many kids beyond the schools’ immediate programs and get them inspired by solving challenging puzzles, building tricky structures, learning fascinating magic tricks, creating colorful symmetrical artwork and playing games. Join the Main Line Math Festival and find out the might and magic of math for yourself! The event is scheduled for April 22, 2018, 4 to 6 p.m. at Temple Brith Achim, King of Prussia. For additional inquiries, contact Yulia Shpilman at mlmathfest@gmail.com or 215-990-9556. For tickets, and to register for this festival, visit www.goldenkeyrussianschool.com/mathfestival.

Artist Explored Race, Power, and Resistance at Germantown Friends School Cohen Art Lecture
April 18 – April 24, 2018
Neumann University Presents Humanitarian Award to Wawa, Inc.
Marisa Williamson (second, from left) discusses her multimedia art with students at Germantown Friends School. Photo/Scott Foley rtist Marisa Williamson spoke to Germantown Friends School (GFS) students about her multimedia exploration of gender, freedom, race, authority, and love at the annual Abigail Rebecca Cohen ’91 Art Lecture. Marisa, a ’04 GFS alumna, presented on her recent performance, video, and installation work about the life of Sally Hemings, slave of President Thomas Jefferson. With the goal to make the past seem alive, Marisa recreated the persona of Sally Hemings at Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, and Paris, where Sally debated returning to the U.S. as a slave or embracing a new life of freedom. Marisa’s work challenges viewers to consider how narrow the distance is between then and now, and how the actions, emotions, and tensions of the past connect to today. Marisa’s work is timely and important for students, visually telling a history of conflict and resistance, and inspiring individuals to find their voice through challenging times. “My work explores how power differentials are inherited, and looks to the past to see how we arrived where we are,” said

Photo/Scott Foley Marisa. “By articulating resistance and history through art and experiences, we can more effectively work on making change.” Marisa also highlighted that discomfort can be a source of inspiration and can help students find their artistic or written voice, “Find out what makes you uncomfortable and then dig into that.” She ended her remarks with a challenging idea that “the process of creating portraits – especially self-portraits – is a process that doesn’t end,” reminding students that our lives, stories, conflicts, and history are constantly evolving, and to never stop asking important questions of yourself and others. The Abigail Rebecca Cohen ’91 Lecture was created in memory of Abigail Rebecca Cohen, a 1991 GFS graduate. Her life as an artist and photographer was dedicated to the pursuit of social and aesthetic concerns. The Cohen Art Lecture is made possible by the generous support of Abigail’s brother, Jonathan Cohen ’88, and his wife Julia Pershan. The Cohen Art Lecture reflects GFS’s Quaker philosophy that guides students to understand and appreciate their world through inquiry and artistic expression. Marisa Williamson is based in New Jersey and has exhibited nationally. She created sitespecific projects in collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Storm King Art Center in New York, and Mural Arts Philadelphia. She received her B.A. from Harvard University and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Williamson is currently the Ruffin Distinguished Artist-in-Residence at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Her work can be found at www.MarisaWilliamson.com. Founded in 1845, Germantown Friends School is a Quaker, independent day school for students in grades ECP-12, located in the historic neighborhood of Germantown in Northwestern Philadelphia. Dedicated to reaching that of God in every person, our mission is to seek truth, challenge the intellect, honor differences, embrace the city, and nurture each student’s mind, body, and spirit.

Dr. Chris Everett Domes, president of Neumann University, congratulates Wawa’s Vince Cipollone, who accepted the Presidential Humanitarian Award on behalf of the company. eumann University presented its annual Presidential Humanitarian Award to Wawa, Inc. during the college’s 19th annual scholarship gala on April 7. The award was established anonymously in 2002 in honor of Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda, president emeritus of the University, and her husband Tony. It is given to an individual or organization whose life or work reflects a commitment to serve humanity, devotion to religious and family values, appreciation for philanthropy, willingness to take risks in the pursuit of vision, and a demonstrated respect for education. Wawa was selected because of its core belief that, as a company, it has a role in making the world a better place. Examples of Wawa’s community service include: • Supporting The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Riddle Memorial Hospital since the 1960s • Partnering with local food banks such as Check-Out Hunger and Philabundance • Establishing the Hoagies for Heroes program to support local firefighters, police officers, and emergency responders, and • Providing disaster relief to communities affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria Since launching The Wawa Foundation in 2014, the company, the foundation, customers, and associates have together contributed more than $49 million to non-profits. Accepting the award on behalf of Wawa was Vince Cipollone, director of retail fuels and a 2004 graduate of Neumann University. The first Wawa Food Market opened in Delaware County in 1964 as an outlet for dairy products. Today, Wawa employs more than 30,000 associates in over 790, 24-hour convenience retail stores—complete with gas pumps and ATMs. Best known for its built-to-order foods, beverages, and coffee, Wawa now has stores located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and the District of Columbia.

The Philadelphia Theatre Research Symposium (PTRS) seeks to highlight the work of both theatre scholars and practitioners. This symposium offers the opportunity to present works in progress and to share ideas with other researchers and practitioners. Presentations will engage a broad range of topics in theatre and drama studies including but not limited to: theatre for social change, oral history and documentary theatre, site-specific performance and audience engagement.

Immaculata University Student Wins 2nd Place in Runway of Dreams Fashion Competition Melissa Rodgers Designed a Gown for Wheelchair Users mmaculata University Fashion Merchandising student Melissa Rodgers ’19 of Sicklerville, NJ, placed 2nd in the 2018 American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) and Runway of Dreams Foundation’s Fashion for All student design competition. Rodgers will receive a $2,500 scholarship for her design. With the theme of Adaptive Fashion for this year’s competition, Rodgers was challenged to design a clothing or accessory item that reimagines fashion and function that can be adapted for wheelchair users. To address the common issue of bathroom usage when wearing a formal gown, she created Hustle & Bustle, a gown that consists of two pieces (top and bottom). Rodgers inserted elastic drawstrings in the interior seams so the woman can simply pull the drawstring and the back of the skirt rises (the front stays stationary) to make using bathroom facilities much easier. The skirt was designed so that the woman could dress independently by laying it on the wheelchair, sitting down and wrapping it around herself. Another bonus is that the skirt has Velcro closures that make it easier and more adjustable. In Rodgers’ research she had the opportunity to discuss first-hand what life is like for someone in a wheelchair. Those discussions provided inspiration for the design and allowed for feedback on the gown including incorporating an overlay in the top to prevent cleavage from showing when leaning forward to propel the wheelchair and also Melissa Rodgers ’19 of Sicklerville, NJ, placed 2nd in the creating a sweetheart neck2018 American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists line that would downplay mus(AATCC) and Runway of Dreams Foundation’s “Fashion cular arms and broad shoulfor All” student design competition. ders that come from regular usage of a wheelchair. “I really enjoyed designing this gown and am grateful that this competition gave me the opportunity to put myself in another woman’s shoes and to do my best to understand her daily life,” Rodgers states. Immaculata University is a Catholic, comprehensive, coeducational institution of higher education, located on the Main Line between Malvern and Exton, 20 miles west of Philadelphia.
