Presents Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award Chang-rae Lee
eaturing Nic Coviello, Tim Portlock, and Jennie Thwing, “Imaginary Reality,” running April 1 - 30 in Main Line Art Center’s award-winning galleries, is the Center’s 10th annual Betsy Meyer Memorial Exhibition. Curated by Amie Potsic, Executive Director of Main Line Art Center, “Imaginary Reality” explores the expansion of artistic dialogue yielded by combining traditional mediums and digital arts, and coincides with the introduction of the Center’s new digital media program. Trained in the classic artistic mediums, each artist adopted digital technology as a means of deepening their investigations of invented landscapes, imaginary narratives, and personal identity. In essence, they have created unique visual languages that combine painting, printmaking, digital photography, stop animation video, 3D gaming technology, performance, and installation. Contextualizing digital imagery in service of storytelling and discovery, their work exists in between and among mediums to create new and unexpected realities that challenge our definitions of self, place, and human experience. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the Center’s exhibition series presented each spring in memory of Teaching Artist Betsy Meyer, “Imaginary Reality” marks an expansion of the

Epitaphs and Grave Writings of Laurel Hill Cemetery When Theodore Jaeckel lost his young wife in 1926, he wrote an epitaph befitting of their undying love. “Lovely, loving and beloved, life to her was a wondrous adventure” it began. “Life is Eternal. Death is merely a Change of Condition.” proclaims the monument of famed spiritualists, Levi Franklin and Catherine Drinkhouse Smith. The well-known poem on the headstone of cherished Phillies announcer, Harry Kalas; begins with “Baseball is about going home, and how hard it is to get there and how driven is our need.” Words move us as much in death as they do in life; defining us, telling our stories, and breathing movement into our experiences. Epitaphs are a final opportunity to make a statement and be they biographical, humorous, sentimental or religious; they give us great insight into the person resting below. Join for a walking tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery that explores the power of these words carved in stone and the interesting lives of the people who chose them. This walking tour will take place on Sunday, April 6 at 1 p.m., departing from Laurel Hill Cemetery’s Gatehouse entrance at 3822 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19132. Free parking is located in the lot across the street from the Gatehouse. The cost is $12/person; or $10/students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or in advance by phone 215-228-8200 or online at www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org.

The photographs include close-up views of elaborate wall paintings depicting classic Christian scenes from the life of Christ and images of saints.

marbles and gold mosaics in the great central dome room suffuses the interior with a golden glow, creating an ethereal impression of “heaven on earth.” Ertug’s light-infused photographs put the focus on both the expansive architecture and the highly detailed mosaics. The Church of Christ in the Chora Monastery (Kariye Camii), first built in the 5th century, was expanded by wealthy patrons over the centuries, and rebuilt in 1316–1321 CE. Stories and people from the Bible, including a monumental mosaic of Christ, a painting of the Virgin Eleousa (of Tenderness), and scenes from the Last Judgment and the Resurrection are featured on the church’s interior walls, ceilings, and domes. The exhibition was originally organized by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan. For the new installation, guest curator Dr. Robert Ousterhout, Professor of the History of Art, University of Pennsylvania, provided new text, iconographic information, and regional photography. Internationally renowned photographer Ahmet Ertug, a 1974 graduate of the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, practiced architecture in England, Iran, and Turkey. His commitment to photography started with a year-long Japan Foundation Fellowship to study architecture in Japan, where he traveled extensively and photographed the ancient temples, Zen gardens, and festivals. Returning to his native country and to Istanbul, Ertug came to a realization: “the foundation of creativity is the profound knowledge of one’s heritage.” He has photographed much of that city’s impressive Byzantine, Ottoman, and Roman remains, using a large-format camera that has enabled him to capture their full splendor. In the 1980s, he established his own publishing house, producing 25 specially designed books of his photographs that are now recognized for their innovation in the printing industry. His photographs have been exhibited widely around the world; a permanent exhibition of his Hagia Sophia photographs is on display in the upper gallery of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Afternoon Symposium On Sunday, April 13, from 1 to 5 p.m., the Penn Museum will host a free related symposium, “From Constantinople to Cappadocia,” sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Ancient Studies. The Penn Museum is located at 3260 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (on Penn’s campus, across from Franklin Field). Visit www.penn.museum. For general information call 215898-4000.

“The Importance of Being Earnest” Sashays into Chestnut Hill he Importance of Being Earnest,” the enduring classic by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), opened at The Stagecrafters theater on Friday, March 28. This play, a rollicking romantic escapade, is an improbable, if not to say absurd, story of two high-society men being pursued by two young women because their first names are ‘Ernest.’ Each of the men in turn pretends to be ‘Ernest,’ and as they are exposed in this pretense, the stage is set for a delightful mishmash of twists and turns, the wonder being that things ever get sorted out! The play’s interwoven themes of love, deception, flippant wit, mistaken identities, and the follies of courtship form an impeccably stylish send-up of the romantic comedies and melodramas of Wilde’s times. At once brilliant satire and high farce, ‘Earnest’ remains totally fresh, funny, and edgy even today. What drew director Yaga Brady to this play is, in her words, “... its irresistible humor, its keen wit, and its timelessness in the depiction of the silliness of societal protocols.” Tellingly, she has moved the action to take place in the early nineteen-twenties, “... a period of great cultural and social upheaval, when women started enjoying freedoms not previously known to them. And so, Wilde’s spirited heroines trying to flaunt social conventions seem to fit ideally into the context of that era.” Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a pre-eminent late Victorian wit, author of stories, essays, plays, and one immortal novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” His plays dealing with the mores and manners of his times are “Lady Windermere’s Fan” (1892), “A Woman of No Importance” (1893), and “An Ideal Hus band” (1894). Though all have achieved the status of classics of the English language theater, none are cherished as much as “The Importance of Being Earnest” (1895), his final play, which has seen innumerable productions on both sides of the Atlantic. Upcoming performance dates are April 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12

Q UINTESSENCE T HEATRE G ROUP P RESENTS E UGENE O’N EILL ’ S “M OURNING B ECOMES E LECTRA ” At the Sedgwick Theater in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia uintessence Theatre Group concludes its fourth season of progressive classic theatre with its first American masterpiece, Eugene O’Neill’s “Mourning Becomes Electra” directed by Alexander Burns. “Mourning Becomes Electra” will begin previews on Wednesday, April 2 at 6:30 p.m. and open on Saturday, April 5 at 7 p.m. All performances are at the Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, 19119. To purchase tickets visit www.QuintessenceTheatre.org or call 215-987-4450. The Mannons are an upstanding and wealthy New England family: successful shipbuilders, civic leaders and military servicemen. Despite attempts to forget dark secrets in the proud family’s past, the grand Mannon estate is built in hate, standing as a grave for all living Mannons. Incest, adultery, murder and suicide ensue as the Mannon descendants attempt to escape their curse, believing in the power of love for salvation. With the searing pain that only family can inflict, O’Neill creates a universal tragedy that takes us into the darkness of our deepest secrets. Lock the door, nail down the shutters, and prepare for the ancient to collide with the modern as Quintessence presents all three parts of O’Neill’s trilogy, promising an epic and devastating theatrical experience you will never forget. Following the success of Jean Anouilh’s adaptation of Sophocles’ “Antigone,” Quintessence continues to explore the power of classical drama adapted for the contemporary world with O’Neill’s masterful adaptation of Aeschylus’ “The Oresteia.” Janis Dardaris (Lady Bracknell in “The Importance of Being Earnest” and Arkadina in “The Seagull”) returns to Quintessence to lead the ensemble as Christine Mannon. Following her celebrated performance as Jennifer in Martin Crimp’s “The Misanthrope,” Mattie Hawkinson returns to Philadelphia as Lavinia Mannon. They are joined by Quintessence ensemble member Josh Carpenter (“Hamlet” and Iago in “Othello”) as Orin Mannon and Robert Jason Jackson (Creon in “Antigone”) as Erza Mannon. The company includes Andrew Breving as Captain Brant, Alan Brincks as Peter Niles, Terence Gleeson as Seth Beckwith and Erin Mulgrew as Hazel Niles. Quintessence Theatre Group is a professional classic theatre, dedicated to the performance and adaptation of epic works of classic literature and drama for the contemporary stage, which ignites the mind, body and soul through the power of the actor, design and spoken word. Now in its fourth season, Quintessence continues to work towards the establishment of an acting ensemble and a rotating repertory at the historic Sedgwick Theater in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. As Quintessence Theatre’s home, the Sedgwick Theater, a 1928 art deco movie palace designed by William Lee, will regain its place as a jewel in Philadelphia’s cultural

Trained as an architect and urban planner, Spilka continues to investigate themes grounded in organic geometric patterns resulting from decades of knowing the world through these lenses.

Bala Cynwyd Library to Present Talk on Yoga he Bala Cynwyd Library will present an interactive talk about yoga, with an emphasis on its benefits for those who all too often don’t think it’s for them: seniors, and people with back problems, stiffness or other aches and pains. Though the presenter, Larry Cohan, has practiced and taught yoga for over 40 years, he’s quick to say that by appearance or vocation, he’s “not your typical yogi.” By day, Cohan’s a litigation attorney with a Center City personal injury, product liability and pharmaceutical litigation law firm. Cohan will discuss different styles of yoga, including Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Bikram and many others. Then he will demonstrate some dramatic positions that only those with elastic, nimble bodies should attempt. “There is a style of yoga and yoga postures that will work for everyone,” Cohan says. “For people with chronic back problems and others problems, yoga is the ultimate healing tool.” Cohan adds that many mature men think of yoga as an activity more for women than men. By both instruction and example, he challenges that perception. Cohan teaches yoga at the Kaiserman Jewish Community Center in Wynnewood. He is a shareholder with Anapol Schwartz, and the chair of its Toxic Tort Litigation and Asbestos Departments. He and his wife, Ellen, live in Gladwyne and have a daughter and a son. “With a little explanation and instruction, I believe people will discover something that could very well change their lives,” Cohan says “Yoga is fascinating on many levels—and a lot of fun, to boot.” The program will be presented on Wednesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bala Cynwyd Library, 131 Old Lancaster Road. For information, call 610-664-1196.

Issues & Insights Panel Discussion on “Higher Education: From Past Lessons to Future Hopes” s part of Montgomery County Community College’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, the College will be hosting a special Issues & Insights panel discussion on the topic “Higher Education: From Past Lessons to Future Hopes” on Wednesday, April 9, starting at 12:30 p.m. in the Science Center Theater, 340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell. The community is invited to attend this free event. The multifaceted discussion will feature several panelists from the College spanning the disciplines of History, Economics, Psychology, Computer Science and Political Science. Sociology Assistant Professor Garvey Lundy will serve as the moderator. “Issues & Insights—the oldest and premier interdisciplinary arena for debate at the College will present this panel discussion assessing the state of higher education,” says Lundy. “This forum will bring together some of the best minds at the College for what is expected to be a vivacious dialogue between forum speakers and audience members. Among the issues discussed are the role of technology in education, the financial cost of an education and the ability of American education to meet the needs of a changing society.” The panelists and their topics include: History Professor Lawrence Backlund will discuss “Statist on the Technology State—Long-Term Observations.” His topic covers the impact of educational technology from the point of view of a user who is also a teaching historian. Economics Professor Lee Bender will address “The Confusing Economics of Higher Education.” He will delve into the areas of how colleges and universities are differently funded, the rapidly rising costs and dwindling public support, price discrimination based on income and talent, and how prices in higher education rarely reflect the actual cost. History Professor Stephen Blumm will discuss “The Confusing Future of Higher Education” and what education may look like in the next several decades.
A
Psychology Associate Professor Ann Marie Donohue’s topic, “Will Education Help Technology Save the World,” explores the changing nature of higher education, how technology will be used as a tool and how educational pathways are changing. Computer Science Associate Professor Kendall Martin will discuss “Will Technology Help Education Save the World?” She will address the global issue of exploding population growth and resulting challenges including resource depletion, medical pandemics and wealth disparity. She will explore how education will make a difference, as well as how technology will support education in making that difference. History Professor Elsa Rapp’s topic, “Women in Education: Then and Now,” will look at the position of women in the 1970s both at Montgomery County Community College and in higher education and examine how the situation for women has changed since then. Professor of History and Political Science Dr. Thomas Kolsky, who has taught at Montgomery County Community College since 1971, started hosting Issues & Insight programs in 1986, although the series did not officially take that name until 1999. The program’s purpose is to stimulate discussions about diverse topics, to invite the larger community to participate in an exchange of ideas, to share the academic talent of the College’s faculty and to invite outside guest scholars to share their insights. Throughout the years, the programs covered a vast range of topics with more than 100 individual events. Some of the topics have included “The Modern Jewish Experience,” “Focus on the Middle East,” “The Reign of Error: The Marriage of Humor and Politics,” “Vietnam and Iraq Wars Compared,” “The Immigration Question,” and many more. Additionally, the program has covered every election since 1996. For information, contact Dr. Thomas Kolsky at 215-641-6380 or tkolsky@mc3.edu.
