Elaine Hoffman Watts and her family, through her father and grandfather, brought a unique style of klezmer from the Ukrainian village, Kravuzer, to U.S. shores, and nurtured it right here in Philadelphia. Against all odds, within the context of a tradition (klezmer) that wanted no participation by women, and with an instrumental focus (percussion) in which men were also prioritized, Elaine became a superstar. She passed away in 2017. This special event celebrates Elaine – mother, grandmother, teacher, bad-ass drummer – as the area’s very own jamming Wonder Woman. Come celebrate!

American Cancer Society’s 46th Annual Bike-a-Thon 6abc team will ride in honor of Gary abc and the American Cancer Society are gearing up for the 46th Annual American Cancer Society Bike-a-Thon (www.acsbike.org) on Sunday, June 10, 2018. Bike-a-Thon, a 65+ mile ride, starts at the base of the Philly-side of the Ben Franklin Bridge and ends at the Atlantic City Boardwalk where riders can enjoy a family-friendly, festival vibe. This year 6abc will have a team at Bike-a-Thon which will be dedicated to former Action News Sports Director, Gary Papa, who lost his battle with prostate cancer in 2009. This dedication is not just about the man – it’s about Gary’s tireless mission to raise awareness about cancer. Mr. Papa was a dedicated spokesperson for The Foundation for Breast and Prostate Health, which owned and operated the Gary Papa Father’s Day Run. After 27 years the organization ceased operations in September 2017. Due to the closing, the Gary Papa Father’s Day Run will not take place this year. 6abc hopes that the Run will return in the future. During this transition year, the American Cancer Society Bike-a-Thon marks a fitting way to continue Gary’s legacy. Gary’s widow, Kathleen Papa, will join dignitaries for a ribbon cutting at 6:30 a.m. to officially launch the start of Bikea-Thon 2018. “This is such a wonderful tribute by the American Cancer Society,” says Bernie Prazenica, President & General Manager of 6abc. “Gary’s legacy and message of hope truly lives on in this community and we thank the American Cancer Society
6
Papa and viewers are invited to join for this remembrance.” The American Cancer Society’s Bike-a-thon is the largest single-day biking event for the Society, and expects to raise more than $1.5 million. To date, Bike-A-Thon has raised more than $25 million to help support the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society. Specifically, these dollars are used to invest in research to find, prevent, treat, and cure the disease. “We are honored to recognize Gary’s legacy and his extraordinary efforts to raise cancer awareness,” said Paula Green, Executive Director for the American Cancer Society. Because of the dedication and commitment of supporters like 6abc, the American Cancer Society can help fund research, promote education and risk reduction, and provide comprehensive patient support to those who need it most during one of the toughest times of their lives.” All riders are invited to join 6abc as part of the 6abc Philly Proud Bike-a-Thon team. The event is open to all ages and skill levels. Participants can choose from six routes ranging from 20 to 100 miles. It’s important to remember that it’s a ride NOT a race. There is also a virtual rider option for viewers who would like to support the cause without hopping on a bike. 6abc has been the Bike-a-Thon broadcast media partner since 2012. Details about 6abc team registration, route maps, and event details are available at www.6abc.com.

Old Academy Players’ cast of “The Elephant Man” prepares for the show, opening June 8 – front row, from left – Elliott Rotman, Michael Tarringer, Timothy Schumann, Leah O’Hara, Richard Maurer; back row – Ilana Brookshier, Michael Pillsbury, Dale Mezzacappa, Ben Kendall, Nick Lutwyche. ld Academy Players presents “The Elephant Man,” by American playwright and poet Bernard Pomerance. Old Academy’s 514th production is directed by Jane Jennings and produced by Carla Childs and Jane Lieberman, co-produced by Dale Mezzacappa, costume design by Helga Krauss, and technical design by Jesse Friedman. Show dates are: June 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, & 24, 2018; Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. Synopsis: In Victorian England 1884, John Merrick, grossly disfigured by a rare disease, is rescued from a carnival where he had been exploited as an object of curiosity and horror. Discovered by a young doctor, he is taken to the London Hospital where his condition is studied, and where he is given refuge. Though initially repulsed by his appearance, his doctor and other visitors become his first friends, discovering the intelligent and sensitive soul within. He begins to see himself as fully human, deserving of love and respect. “The Elephant Man” is based on the life of Joseph Merrick, a horribly deformed young man, a victim of rare skin and bone disease, called Proteus Syndrome. The play opened in London in 1977. It premiered on Broadway in 1979 and won all of the major theater awards, including three Tony Awards, three Obie Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It was revived in both 2002 and 2014. Audience members will leave the theater with profound gratitude for you own existence and a deep understanding and appreciation of the suffering of others afflicted with this terrible disease. Old Academy Players will be donating the proceeds of their 50/50 to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation. Timothy Schumann stars as John Merrick. Cast in singular roles are: Leah O’Hara as Mrs. Kendal, Michael Pillsbury as Porter, and Richard Maurer as Cellist. Cast in multiple roles are: Ben Kendall as Ross/Bishop Walsham How/Snork, Dale Mezzacappa as Princess Alexandra/Nurse Sandwich/Pinhead, Elliott Rotman as Lord John/Pinhead Manager/Policeman, Ilana Brookshier as Duchess/Pinhead, Michael Tarringer as Frederick Treves/Policeman, and Nick Lutwyche as Carr Gomm/Conductor. Old Academy Players, located at 3544 Indian Queen Lane in East Falls, has provided continuous community theater since 1923, and featured the acting debuts of both Grace Kelly and Robert Prosky. Tickets for this powerful show are $20 each. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m.; Sunday matinée performances are at 2 p.m. Parking for all performances is free. For info, and to purchase tickets online, visit www.oldacademyplayers.org, or call 215-843-1109 for reservations.

Giant, Moving Insects Invade Philly See “Xtreme Bugs” at the Academy of Natural Sciences new exhibit – that opened May 26 at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University – features the mind-boggling behaviors and extreme characteristics of some of the earth’s most fascinating creatures—insects. “Xtreme Bugs” features nearly 20 giant, moving, hissing, clicking insects from around the world. Picture this: an18-feet-long wiggling centipede, a five-feet-long blood-sucking bed bug, a 12-feet-tall hissing pink orchid mantis. “Xtreme Bugs” blends technology, science, artistry and imagination to capture the most unusual aspects of the insect world. From a fluttering, oversized monarch butterfly to a gigantic Madagascar hissing cockroach, the exaggerated size of these creatures shines a creative spotlight on what makes them “extreme.” “Not only are these enormous animatronic insects such fun to examine up close, but we can also learn a lot about their extreme behaviors and the physical characteristics that allow bugs to thrive and survive,” said Academy President and CEO Scott Cooper. Visitors will experience a bug’s-eye view of their world, explore critter calls, dig for ancient arthropods, and play a bug facts game. A variety of live insects will be on view for closeup inspection in the adjacent “Butterflies!” exhibit and the Outside In children’s discovery center. On Wednesdays and weekends at 11:45 a.m. educators will give short insect talks and answer questions. “Xtreme Bugs,” created by Dinosaurs Unearthed, Corp., will be on view through January 21, 2019. Western Pest is the presenting sponsor for “Xtreme Bugs,” which also is supported by a generous donation from VWR Charitable Foundation.
