series consists of work made from the 1960s through 1975 that show the monuments not as isolated celebrations of civic memory, but as part of a complex visual and cultural environment. “Lee Friedlander: The American Monument Photographs,” a new exhibit opening in Haverford College’s Atrium Gallery on June 1, features photographs of monuments noble and idiosyncratic made throughout America. These photos have new resonance today as American monuments have become topical points of conflict and debate again. Friedlander’s clear and lucid photographs, made during the decades of political assassinations and social unrest, presented the monuments as cultural expressions and therein lies their originality and continuing influence. Friedlander selected 213 images that were published by the Eakins Press Foundation in 1976 in a book titled The American Monument. The book became a classic, much sought after by collectors; it was republished in 2017 with an additional essay by Friedlander scholar Peter Galassi. Haverford College owns copies of both the first and second editions; they are housed in its rare and circulating photography library book collections. Both editions are printed to the highest standards and designed so that individual pages can be exhibited as stand along works. Sixty of those individual pages – along with additional photographs and books by Friedlander, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, and others – will be on display. Friedlander’s books have extended the technical and expressive range of the photographic book. They have concurrently proved to be an ideal and meaningful medium to showcase the visual sophistication of Friedlander’s picture making over half a century. He has, like his mentor Walker Evans, expanded the capability of photographs to work as metaphors and convey meaning when viewed in an extended sequence in book format. “This photographer in these photographs affirms the residual order in the crazy scene,” writes Leslie Katz, the publisher of American Monuments, in his essay for the book. "He understands and brings us human civilization, embattled but intact in the various wilds of American enterprise, whether downtown, in suburbia, or on the roof." “Lee Friedlander: The American Monument Photographs” will be on view June 1 through September 30, at Haverford College’s Atrium Gallery in Marshall Fine Arts Center. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 1, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the gallery. The Atrium Gallery, in Marshall Fine Arts Center, is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Starting Sept. 9, the gallery will also be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. For info, contact Audrey A. and John L.

Joey Abramowicz, Patrick Romano, Rajeer Alford, Eileen Cella, Luke Bradt, and Jordan Dobson sing “The Lusty Month of May” in “Camelot,” on stage at Act II Playhouse until June 24. Photo/ Bill D’Agostino “In 2012, My Fair Lady was a runaway hit for us, running 10 weeks,” Act II Artistic Director Tony Braithwaite said. “At that point I started to think of what other classic musicals would work well on our stage and Camelot immediately came to mind. It has some of the best songs ever written for the stage – ‘If Ever I Could Leave You,’ ‘How to Handle a Woman,’ ‘Take Me to the Fair’ – and is considered the last of the great American musicals from the ‘Golden Era.’” This new production is helmed by one of Philadelphia’s top directors, Matt Pfeiffer. Camelot “attempts to wrestle with idealism that often falls short. And it wrestles with the deepest matters of the heart,” Pfeiffer said. Renowned Philadelphia actor Jeffrey Coon leads the company as Arthur, the king who hopes to create an idealized society where might is used for right. Managing Director Eileen Cella – who wowed Act II audiences as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady – plays Arthur’s partner, Queen Guenevere. Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton plays the French knight Lancelot, whose attraction to the queen imperils the mythical kingdom. The company also includes Iman Aaliyah, Joey Abramowicz, Rajeer Alford, Luke Bradt, Jordan Dobson, Scott Langdon, and Patrick Romano. When it premiered in 1960, Camelot had the highest ticket presale of any show on Broadway to that point. The same is true in Ambler, where Camelot has sold more tickets prior to opening than any previous show in the Playhouse’s history. In fact, Camelot has already been extended. Many performances are already sold out. Tickets for Camelot at Act II Playhouse are $35-$47. Discounts are available for subscribers, students, group of 10 or more, and seniors 65 and older. Tickets are available online at www.act2.org, by calling the Act II box office at 215-654-0200, or in person at 56 E. Butler Avenue in Ambler. “The question of how to make and sustain a peaceful and representative society is one that’s challenged human kind through all of existence,” Pfeiffer said. “This musical was written at the beginning of the Kennedy administration and the dawn of the sixties. With Kennedy’s assassination and the tumult of the Vietnam War, Camelot took on an eerie resonance. And while our own times are not quite as tumultuous, it’s not lost on me that we’re producing the piece in an age of great divide on the heels of such great promise.” “At a time when politics has never more divided or upset us, a glorious aspirational tale might be just what we all need!” Braithwaite added.

Elevated Homocysteine Identified as Metabolic Risk Factor for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Scientists at Temple Report he amino acid homocysteine occurs naturally in the human body, generated as a byproduct of methionine metabolism. Genetic diseases or an imbalanced diet, with too much red meat or deficiencies in B vitamins and folic acid, however, can lead to high homocysteine levels, a condition known as hyperhomocysteinemia. This condition causes considerable harm to the heart but can also affect the brain.

Domenico Praticò, MD, Scott Richards North Star Foundation Chair for Alzheimer’s Research, Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Microbiology, Director of the Alzheimer’s Center at Temple in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM), and senior investigator on the new report. Now, in a new study published online in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University further reveal the extent to which elevated homocysteine damages the brain. In mice, they show that diet-induced increases in homocysteine levels directly contribute to the development of damaging neurofibrillary tangles, which result from the progressive accumulation of abnormal tau protein in the brain. Tau neurofibrillary tangle accumulation is a major contributor to nerve cell death, dementia, and neurodegenerative disease. “Abnormal tau is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia,” explained Domenico Praticò, MD, Scott Richards North Star Foundation Chair for Alzheimer’s Research, Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Microbiology, Director of the Alzheimer’s Center at Temple in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM), and senior investigator on the new report. “From previous research we knew that hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, affecting memory and the formation of harmful amyloid beta plaques in the brain. However, it was unclear whether it also influenced tau neurofibrillary tangle formation, which is the second-most important brain lesion in Alzheimer’s disease, in addition to amyloid plaques.” To explore this question, Dr. Praticò and colleagues used a dietary approach in mice, inducing an increase in homocysteine levels by implementing a diet deficient in folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12. The researchers specifically used mice engineered to develop only tau tangles, with no amyloid plaque formation, enabling them to investigate a possible direct effect of homocysteine on the development of tau lesions. Starting at four months of age, tau mice were put on the vitamin-deficient diet. Eight months later, the animals were tested in their learning and memory abilities in a water maze test. Compared with control tau mice, which ate a regular diet throughout the study, tau mice on the vitamin-deficient diet performed significantly worse, showing impairments in learning a new task and, most importantly, in their ability to remember the task. To better understand why, the researchers examined brain tissues from both groups of mice. “We observed that the brains of the animals receiving the deficient diet had not only increased homocysteine levels but also a 50 percent increase in the amount of tau tangles in the hippocampus and cortex, relative to control animals,” Dr. Praticò said. Levels of insoluble, toxic tau protein, which causes neuron death, were also elevated, and cells exhibited disruption in the integrity of their synapses, the junctions between neurons that allow the cells to communicate. Dr. Praticò’s team further discovered that one of the earliest changes that the elevated homocysteine levels induced in the brain is the activation of a protein called 5-lipoxygenase (5LO). By controlling the cdk5 enzyme, 5LO is ultimately responsible for the formation of abnormal tau and the development of tau tangles. According to Dr. Praticò, the next step is to find out whether the damage caused by high homocysteine and mediated by 5LO can be blocked. “Now that we know for the first time that homocysteine acts via 5LO to induce the abnormal tau tangle formation and nerve cell death, next we can test whether blocking 5LO can prevent the brain damage secondary to high homocysteine,” he said. His team is also interested in testing whether 5LO blockade can reverse homocysteine-induced nerve cell damage after it has been established. Other researchers contributing to the study include Antonio Di Meco and Jian-Guo Li at the Alzheimer’s Center at Temple, LKSOM; and Carlos Barrero and Salim Merali in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Temple University. The research was funded in part by National Institutes of Health grants HL112966 and AG51684.

nown for its highly-imaginative dance theater works and collaborative projects, AnneMarie Mulgrew and Dancers Company (AMM & DCO) presents its 32nd Annual Home Season Concert with the premiere of Strange Dreams: 30 Years Later. Conceived and directed by Artistic Director Anne-Marie Mulgrew, this multi-media full-length production for ten professionally-trained company dancers features inventive choreography, colorful props, striking projections, a portable set, a genre-defying sound score and inflatable costumes. In addition, guest artist Ashley Searles makes a return appearance performing an emotionally-driven solo k.i.t.e (2018) choreographed by KC Chun-Manning. Performances take place on Friday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 2 at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., The Performance Garage, 1515 Brandywine Street, Philadelphia, PA. Tickets are $20 and are available on line at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3414140, reserved by phone 215-462-7720 or purchase at the door day of the show. $10 student tickets (with valid ID) are available day of the show at the door. For information visit www.annemariemulgrewdancersco.org. This 12-section work takes audiences-of-all-ages on an adventure with moods ranging from the contemplative to the whimsical to the bucolic to the surreal. Cathedral Dreams, a full-ensemble work set to ancient Gusli music explores the inner states of being and notions of community. Three Ladies Three Bowls set to “Laguna” comments on bucolic beauty whereas Forward Backward, a full-ensemble work, to a story about one of China’s most famous poets Li Bai has a postmodern sensibility in its use of voice, repetition, and striking solo moments. Inflatable Dreams, a 15-minute four-section visually-stunning work to music ranging from Janis Joplin to circus to Baroque to the sounds of the inner tubes, explores colorful swimming tubes as wearable props and performers. Smaller sections include a tender male duet inspired by the 1925 “Tango Poema” sung by Francisco Canaro, a quirky obsessive solo titled “Sad Cat Diary” and the super silly quartet to a Klezmer Nutcracker tune. Company dancers include LaNise Ambrose, Sean Thomas Boyt, Alissa Johann, Kate Lombardi, Leslie Ann Pike, Jorge Rullan, and Olivia Wood plus cameo appearances by Joseph Cicala, Anne-Marie Mulgrew and guest artist Ashley Searles. Artistic Director, Anne-Marie Mulgrew notes “Strange Dreams tackles dream-like states— the sensations, memories, colors and sounds in a non-linear stream of consciousness format. Dreams appear, disappear, and continue to haunt the dreamer who questions the logic of it all. Join us through unknown realms of the imagination where anything is possible. Strange Dreams is reaction of sorts to the political and social realities we face today and (wo)mans need to dream, heal and celebrate the resilience and joyfulness of the human spirit.” Guest artist Ashley Searles performs KC Chun-Mannings’ k.i.t.e (2018 to “Vale Que tengas – Ely Guerra (letra).” Ashley Searles had a 15-year performing career in New York City dancing for a wide variety of dance companies including Parsons Dance Company, Carolyn Dorfman and Moving Theater. She was featured in performances at The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center New York, The Guggenheim and Whitney Museums, New York, and The LA Theater Center. She also worked as a Rehearsal Director assisting in the touring productions of Murray Spalding Movement Arts that included performances at the Spoleto Festival. She currently choreographs, teaches and performs in Philadelphia.

June 2 is a school-wide Open House at all six branches of Settlement Music School: Wynnefield, Willow Grove, Northeast, Germantown, Queen Village, and Camden. Settlement Music School is one of the largest nonprofit community schools in the U.S. The school awards more than $2 million in financial aid annually so that after-school music education is accessible and affordable for all. The school provides arts therapy programs, a Head-Start preKindergarten program, after school band/orchestra/choir programs in selected city schools, lessons on virtually every instrument, and ensembles for classical and jazz performance. At Settlement Music, kids can build confidence, set goals, and grow personally and musically.
