Historic Odessa Foundation and Cantwell’s Tavern Present Sixth Annual Historic Odessa Brewfest Tickets on sale for this year’s signature fundraising craft beer festival on September 7, 2019 ringing together one of Delaware’s best preserved historic sites that bore witness to colonial America’s necessary thirst for beer, and today’s heady passion for craft brews the Historic Odessa Foundation and Cantwell’s Tavern present the sixth annual Historic Odessa Brewfest on Saturday, September 7, 2019, 12 to 6 p.m., on the grounds of the 250-year-old Wilson-Warner House. All proceeds of the festival benefit the preservation and education mission of the Historic Odessa Foundation. From their earliest days at the beginning of the 17th century, avid beer makers populated European settlements along both sides of the Delaware River. Making your own beer was as important a domestic craft as hearth cooking, tending a kitchen garden or spinning yarn. As drinking water was avoided like the plague, beer was a major dietary staple in the colonies, consumed by everyone from cradle to grave. So it stands to reason that Historic Odessa (a once bustling colonial grain shipping port and vital Mid-Atlantic transportation hub of the 18th and early 19th centuries), should be the site of a craft beer festival in which today’s beer enthusiasts can step back more than 250 years to a pastoral setting befitting a celebration of grain, hops, fruits, herbs and timehonored brewing methods. A Hoppy Day In addition to enjoying the Odessa Brewfest’s historic and pastoral setting (which sets it apart from other regional beer festivals), beer lovers will have the opportunity to sample some of the best regional and national craft beers by more than 50 brewers, including some of the newest beers on the market by 3rd Wave, 16 Mile, Bellefonte, Big Oyster, Blue Earl, Brick Works, Crooked Hammock, Dogfish Head, Fordham & Dominion, Midnight Oil, Mispillion, Revelation, Stitch House, Twin Lakes, and Volunteer, to name just a few.
B
A VIP tasting from 12 to 2 p.m. will provide attendees with access to limited quantity beers. Along with the fine craft beers on tap, locally sourced food will be available from Cantwell’s Tavern and the Roaming Raven Food Truck. Artisan vendors will also be on site, and this year’s live musical entertainment line-up, presented on two stages, will be perennial favorite, reggae evangelists Spokey Speaky, and new this year, blue collar rock band Shotgun Betty, solo performer Tony Mowen, and also making his debut at this year’s Odessa Brewfest is versatile musician Charlie Hannagan. The Fusion Beer Mile New to the Historic Odessa Brewfest this year will be the Fusion Beer Mile presented by Fusion Racing. This inaugural beer race is limited to 100 participants of individuals or teams, and is not included in the price of admission to the Odessa Brewfest. Each participant will receive a Fusion Beer Mile finisher medal, 4 beers (that participants will drink during the mile), and additional awards will be presented based off the fastest time the beer mile is completed in. Registration and check in will begin at 1 p.m. in the field next to the Odessa Brewfest. While registration of $25 does NOT include entry into the Brewfest it does allow registrants to get a $5 off discount. Tickets to the Odessa Brewfest can be purchased during the registration process and will be at will call. For registration info and details of the Fusion Beer Mile, visit https://runsignup.com/Race/DE/Odessa/FusionBeerMile. Brewfest Tickets: VIP, $70; General Admission, $55; Designated Driver, $15. Advance tickets www.odessabrewfest.com, or call 302-378-4119. You’ll find the Historic Houses of Odessa at 202 Main St., Odessa, DE 19730. Visit www.historicodessa.org.

in Gallery 2 of work by DVAA member Bill Brookover. The exhibition runs September 8 - September 29, with a public opening reception on September 8, at 12 p.m. DVAA is located at 704 Catharine St., Philadelphia, PA 19147. Four artists – Etta Winigrad, David Wini grad, Sandi Neiman Lovitz, and Adam Lovitz – come together in “Generations” to portray the relation of mother and son in their art. They are two sculptors and two painters who share not only their family relationship but also their understanding of the human condition in their art, each in their specifically unique ways. While Etta’s sculpture and Adam’s paintings are aesthetically very different, they share a delicate sensibility of the line between being fantastically whimsical and serious. David’s kinetic wind sculptures and Sandi’s polychromatic paintings share the power of movement and a sense of ‘joie de vivre.’ About The Artists: Adam Lovitz received his BFA from University of Delaware in 2008 and his MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2012. In recent years, select exhibitions include New Radicals at Cerulean Arts curated by Aubrey Levinthal, Alchemy Typology Entropy at Fleisher/Ollman Gallery curated by Alex Baker, Spring/Break Art Fair in NYC, Satellite Art Show in Miami, and Auburn University in Alabama. Lovitz’s work has been featured in Two Coats of Paint, Title Shown is “All in One” by Etta Winigrad, 2016. Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Huffington Post. He is a current member of the Philly artist-collective Tiger Strikes Asteroid. Sandi Neiman Lovitz graduated from Penn State University with a BA in Art Education and taught art in the Pittsburgh public school system. She was President of the Tri-State Pennsylvania Artists’ Equity for two years and continues to serve on the executive board. She is involved in ARTsisters, is currently a faculty member at Main Line Art Center (MLAC) in Haverford, PA, and paints full-time in her studio. Sandi was juried into the Centennial exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum by John B. Ravenal (curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) and the Berks Art Alliance at the Reading Art Museum, and was awarded an honorable mention by Lisa Tremper Hanover, CEO of the Michener Museum. She participated in the Square Foot Art Basel Miami and has received such awards as the Nolan Painting Award at MLAC and “feature artist” on Artsy Shark, founded by Carolyn Edlund, Executive Director of the Arts Business Institute. Sandi’s work has been acquired by the Merrill Collection in West Chester, PA. Etta Winigrad is a Philadelphia artist and Penn graduate (FA’58 Ed’59) for whom ceramic sculpture have been her primary, though not her exclusive medium. Her thought-provoking sculptures, which combine figurative and fantastical elements, reflect her focus on the situation of humanity in the world. Etta developed a unique smoking technique that characterizes her signature style. During her five-decade career, Etta has exhibited widely and has been the recipient of major awards. David Winigrad is a Philadelphia mixed-media, craft artist and Carnegie-Mellon graduate (BFA’85). David specializes in kinetic sculpture with an emphasis on wind-driven whirligigs. Based on the traditional whirligig folk art form, David’s work is a contemporary reinterpretation that combines fine woodworking with whimsical mechanical elements. David has received numerous awards and has exhibited widely, including The Smithsonian and Philadelphia Museum craft shows.

Adam Ant to Perform in Philly Friend or Foe Tour September 20 at the Merriam ollowing a world tour to sold-out venues, pop icon Adam Ant will perform his landmark solo album Friend or Foe for the first time, live in its entirety, throughout the USA from September 4 to October 1. The tour will stop in Philadelphia on Friday, September 20, 2019 at the Kimmel Center’s Merriam Theater. In addition to the breakthrough album, Adam Ant will play classic chart-topping singles and personal favorites.

See Adam Ant in concert September 20, 2019, 8 p.m. at the Merriam Theater. “Adam Ant’s eccentric stage presence has entertained audiences worldwide over four decades,” said Ed Cambron, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “We are elated to host this global superstar on our Cultural Campus, where we’re not only home to rock heroes, but diverse programming and education opportunities all year long, from jazz to comedy, family-friendly fun to classical to Broadway.” The Friend or Foe album was Ant’s first release as a solo artist and included three hit singles. The massive hit “Goody Two Shoes” reached #1 in the UK, was also #1 in Australia, and hit #6 on the USA Billboard Chart. “Friend or Foe,” the single, was another top ten hit in the UK, while “Desperate But Not Serious” was the album’s third UK smash. Friend or Foe, his most successful solo album to date, made #5 in the UK and was certified gold album status on both sides of the Atlantic after selling over 100,000 copies. In the USA, the album reached #16 on the Billboard album chart and turned Adam Ant into a household name, resulting in a Grammy® nomination for Best New Artist and an MTV Award for “Sexiest Man Alive.” From his early punk days in London to his explosion on the world stage that would lead to him becoming an icon, Adam Ant’s musical career spans the course of nine albums and 22 chart-topping singles worldwide. At one point, Ant had eight singles in the UK Top 40 in one week. His 1979 debut album Dirk Wears White Sox was the first number one album in the UK Independent Albums Chart. The follow-up album, Kings of the Wild Frontier, that featured his trademark Burundi beat style of African drumming, spent 12 weeks at #1 in the UK and was the best-selling album of 1981. The Kings of the Wild Frontier album produced three UK chart-topping singles: “Dog Eat Dog” at #4, “Antmusic” at #2, and “Kings of the Wild Frontier” at #2, and won Ant a Brit Award for Best New Artist. On its day of release, the smash hit single “Stand and Deliver” went straight to #1 and remained at the top spot in the UK singles chart for five weeks, earning Ant two prestigious Ivor Novello Awards for Best Songwriter of the Year and Best British Record. As “Antmania” continued to sweep the nation, his next Prince Charming album produced yet another #1 single, “Prince Charming,” and firmly established Adam Ant as a global star. Tickets are on sale now starting at $39.50. Tickets can be purchased by calling 215-893-1999, online at www.kimmelcenter.org, or at the Kimmel Center Box Office.

River Days Events Offer Family-Friendly Fun hroughout September and October, the 23 environmental centers that make up the Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River (AWE) will host exciting and family-friendly events as part of the organization’s annual River Days festivities. The coordinated effort brings environmentally focused events and activities to communities impacted by the Delaware, Schuylkill, Cooper, Lehigh and Christina Rivers. Over 15 million people depend on the Delaware River watershed for clean drinking water. This year, River Days will consist of 30 (mostly free) events designed to provide opportunities for area residents to get out and explore nature on or near the water. “This is the third year that the Alliance for Watershed Education is spearheading River Days events with our environmental partners,” says Mica McCullough, communications coordinator for AWE. “There are hiking, biking, paddling, and many more activities planned to fit every age group and interest. It’s the perfect opportunity to get out and explore the local trails and waterways.” Kick-Off Event: Delaware River Festival The Delaware River Festival is a free, day-long event Saturday, September 7, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., that takes place on both sides of the river—in Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing and in Camden on the riverfront at the Adventure Aquarium. This year, the Camden Jam music festival will also be part of the event, with live performances at Wiggins Park. Highlights of the free, family-friendly festival include a bike ride over the Ben Franklin Bridge from Camden to Philadelphia, Free boat tours and RiverLink rides to each side of the Delaware, paddling on the river in kayaks and pedaling in swan boats, SUP yoga, face painting, and boat-building stations where children can craft their own ships out of Legos.

respectable neighborhoods in a Midwestern city …” The humor and psychological undercurrent of Inge’s classic will come to life at Bethany Mission Gallery, amidst over two hundred works of outsider art including drawings & paintings by James Castle, Sam Doyle, Howard Finster, William Hawkins, Martin Ramirez, Bill Traylor and George Widener. Modern renovations to the 1869 Quaker meeting house were completed in February 2012 to accommodate and display the internationally-recognized collection, which also features objects including radios, antique metal toys and milk glass. The Gallery will be open to the public one hour prior and following each performance. Bethany Mission Gallery was the setting for the IRC’s critically-recognized 2018 Fringe production of Tennessee Williams’ The Eccentricities of a Nightingale, and their 2017 production of Eugene Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano. Come Back, Little Sheba premiered on Broadway at the Booth Theatre on February 15, 1950. The cast included Shirley Booth as Lola, Sidney Blackmer as Doc, and Joan Lorring as Marie. Booth won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play and Blackmer won Best Actor. Reprising her Broadway role, Booth starred opposite Burt Lancaster as Doc and Terry Moore as Marie in a 1952 film adaptation. Booth won both the 1953 Best Actress Academy award and Best Actress – Drama Golden Globe for her portrayal of Lola. William Inge, (born May 3, 1913, Independence, Kansas, U.S. – died June 10, 1973, Hollywood Hills, Calif.) was an American playwright best known for his plays Come Back, Little Sheba (1950; filmed 1952); Picnic (1953; filmed 1956), for which he won a Pulitzer Prize; and Bus Stop (1955; filmed 1956). Inge was educated at the University of Kansas at Lawrence and at the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tennessee. Inge taught school from 1937 to 1949, also serving as drama editor of the Star-Times in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1943 to 1946. His first play, Farther Off from Heaven (1947), was produced in Dallas, Texas, at the recommendation of Tennessee Williams, to whom Inge had sent the script; 10 years later it was revised for Broadway as The Dark at the Top of the Stairs (filmed 1960). Inge was one of the first American dramatists to deal with the quality of life in the small towns of the Midwest, and he achieved notable success throughout the 1950s. His later plays – A Loss of Roses (1960; filmed as The Stripper, 1963), Natural Affection (1963), Where’s Daddy? (1966), and The Last Pad (1970) – were less successful. Inge received an Academy Award for his original screenplay Splendor in the Grass (1961). His shorter works included Glory in the Flower (1958), To Bobolink, for Her Spirit (1962), The Boy in the Basement (1962), and Bus Riley’s Back in Town (1962). IRC Season fourteen marks the expansion of the company’s season to three mainstage shows, two of three presented in the historic Bethany Mission Gallery, 1527 Brandywine Street in the city’s Spring Garden Neighborhood.

a fundraising event, “Chicken Soup for the Bala Cynwyd Library.” Roz will read her favorite Chicken Soup essays, answer questions about writing and library work, and then sell Chicken Soup for the Soul books to benefit the library she loves. The titles she’ll be selling include The Power of Yes, Life Lessons from the Dog, Reboot Your Life and Grandparents. One hundred percent of the proceeds from book sales will be donated to the library. “When your work is included in a Chicken Soup collection,” Roz reveals, “you always get 10 free copies. I always donate a copy to the library and give one to my sister. A few more go to friends. The rest just end up on the shelf.” Which means? Roz currently has 60 Chicken Soup books on topics from dogs to positive thinking just sitting on her bookshelf. “Instead of letting them sit there collecting dust,” Roz explains, “I wanted to do something fun and useful with them, so I came up with the idea of selling them to benefit the library. Since the books didn’t cost me a cent, I can give every penny I make to the library.” It seemed like a great way to celebrate two decades of work at a job she loves—plus doing a bit of de-cluttering. Roz, who is the author of two collections of essays and humor pieces about library work, Our Bodies, Our Shelves: A Collection of Library Humor and Just Another Day at Your Local Public Library, has read at the library before. “Writing is a solitary pursuit,” says Roz. “So it’s great to have the opportunity to get out and read my essays to actual readers. And giving a reading at the library I love is always special. Library patrons are a great crowd." And there will be cake! Chestnut Hill’s popular Night Kitchen Bakery (whose owners, Amy Edelman and John Millard, are Bala Cynwyd Library patrons) will be providing delicious cupcakes for everyone to enjoy. Roz writes for everyone from the Funny Times to the New York Times, and has been featured on both “Morning Edition” and “The Today Show.” “But I still can’t afford to quit my library job,” she jokes. “Which is fine with me. Even after two decades, I still look forward to going to work every day. How many people are lucky enough to say that?” Meet Roz Warren and purchase one of her books at “Chicken Soup for the Bala Cynwyd Library” on Wednesday, September 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bala Cynwyd Library Meeting Room.

Suicide Prevention Month Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for Pennsylvania youth ages 10 - 24. In fact, in Pennsylvania, the average of losing a young person to suicide in this age group is every 1.36 days. In a 2017 survey, 7.4% of Pennsylvania high school students reported that they have attempted suicide one or more times in the last twelve months. This equates to more than 40,000 students within the state each year. The good news is that suicide is preventable. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. National Suicide Prevention Week is September 8 - 14, with World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10. During this day, week, and month, organizations and individuals across the state will be conducting activities to draw attention to the terrible tragedy of youth suicide. The Jason Foundation has compiled an Informational Packet for Suicide Prevention. The Packet will provide additional information on the tragedy of youth suicide and offer suggestions on how individuals can become involved in prevention efforts. The Jason Foundation is a nationally recognized leader in suicide awareness and prevention. They provide all of their programs, services, and materials to the public at no cost. To download the packet, head to www.jasonfoundation.com and click on Suicide Prevention Month under the How to Get Involved tab.

CITY SUBURBAN NEWS – Your Community Paper for 35 Years!
ast Falls’ historic Old Academy Players celebrates the opening of the 97th season by presenting its 521st production, Purlie Victorious, a thought-provoking satirical dramedy, written by Ossie Davis. Directed by Loretta Lucy Miller, stage managed by Kimberly Hess, and produced by Mary Jane Fullam, show dates are September 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, and 29, 2019. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Dynamic, traveling preacher Purlie Victorious Judson returns to his small Georgia town hoping to save Big Bethel, the community’s church, and emancipate the cotton pickers who work on oppressive Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee’s plantation. With the assistance of Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins, Purlie hopes to pry loose from Cotchipee an inheritance due his longlost cousin and use the money to achieve his goals. The New York Herald Tribune review described the play as “A bucketful of bristling laughs. Wild, outrageous fantasy...A rich and rollicking irony. Unique in style, rich in its highly individual humor.” Purlie Victorious is set in 1960 when a Southern plantation owner, upended by desegregation laws, is held accountable by a Gospel preacher. The play was written by Ossie Davis, American film, television and Broadway actor, director, playwright, and civil activist. Davis and his wife, Ruby Dee, starred in Purlie Victorious on Broadway and in the 1963 film, Gone Are the Days!, based on the play. In 1970 the play was adapted into the Tony-Award nominated musical, Purlie. Deception, fun, satire, and high jinks – with serious undertones – lead to a triumphant ending! Old Academy Players’ stellar cast includes Jerome Scott as Purlie, Tiffany Bentham Gross as Lutiebelle, Anthony Wilcox as Gitlow, Morgan Grace Glanton as Missy, Mort Patterson as Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee, Vanessa Ballard as Idella, Jason Corn as Charlie, Norm Burnosky as The Sherriff and Rich Geller as The Deputy. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Parking for all performances is free. Ticket price is $20 per adult; $10 per student with valid ID. Buy tickets online at www.OldAcademyPlayers.org. Old Academy welcomes groups! Take advantage of group discount pricing ($17 per person with 15 or more people in a group). Call 215-843-1109 for information and tickets. Old Academy Players, where Grace Kelly and Robert Prosky made their stage debuts, is a non-profit community theater located at 3544 Indian Queen Lane in East Falls (Philadelphia), the urban village on the Schuylkill River. Constructed in 1819, the Old Academy building has been the OAP home since 1932. Old Academy Players has provided continuous community theater since 1923 and is a member of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.

DeLissio Book Club: “Kids for Cash” by William Ecenbarger to be Discussed Sept. 20 tate Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio, D-Montgomery/Phila., has scheduled her third book club meeting for residents of the 194th Legislative District. The gathering, limited to 20 participants, is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. Friday, September 20, at DeLissio’s office at 6511 Ridge Ave. in Philadelphia. The group will discuss “Kids for Cash” by William Ecenbarger. “This book speaks to the need for better policy for the juvenile justice system, criminal justice reform and the impact that poverty has on our children,” DeLissio said. “Last but not least, it touches on how we elect members of the judiciary. “The purpose of these book club meetings is to produce a dialogue that can inform me about constituents’ viewpoints on policy. Our first two meetings did exactly that.” The first two book club meetings this year focused on “Hillbilly Elegy” by J.D. Vance, and “Educated” by Tara Westover. Sign-ups, DeLissio said, are on a first-come, first-serve basis, though preference is given to those who were previously on the waiting list. Those interested can call DeLissio’s office at 215-482-8726, or email her at RepDeLissio@pahouse.net and provide an address and contact information. Staff will respond accordingly.
