This is the story of Jeff, a young, good-natured guy who cannot tell a lie!

ARTS & CULTURAL EVENTS “Proceed with Caution” Dance Performance

Page 3

ThePresents Stagecrafters Kenneth Lonergan’s “L OBBY H ERO ” A bittersweet, funny, and deeply thought-provoking play, about a good-natured, laid-back guy, having just landed a job as a night-shift security guard at a Manhattan high-rise, hopes it’s his ticket to some life stability … but fate has other ideas.

Darcy Lyons, along with the Lyons and Tigers Dance Company, will present the latest adaptation and first ever evening length premiere of “Proceed with Caution,” a dance piece that grapples with trust, as well as personal, social, and global security in today’s toxic political climate. In a time of global violence, the Trump Presidency, mass shootings, and the #MeToo movement, the group of performers attempt to explore the concept of security through dance, video projection, and both spoken and recorded word. The performance will be held at The Performance Garage on September 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m., and September 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $15 to $20 and can be purchased at https://fringearts.com/event/proceed-caution/, and more information can be found at www.lyonsandtigers.org.

FOOTLIGHTERS THEATER PRESENTS “JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT” ootlighters Theater opens its 91st season by presenting the family-friendly musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” One of the original “rock operas,” Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s first collaboration of 1967 is based on the “coat of many colors” story of Joseph from the Bible’s Book of Genesis. Rice and Webber continued to develop the show into its now beloved production, first introduced to America in 1974 by Playhouse in the Park in Philadelphia! The show has continued to be a fan favorite amongst theatergoers ever since! Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the timeless tale of Joseph is filled with surprising humor for adults and dazzling delights for children. It reimagines the biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the famous coat of many colors, symbolic of Joseph’s favor and an object of his brothers’ jealousy. Sold into slavery, Joseph’s journey into Egypt is shared through an engaging crazy quilt of musical styles, from country-western to calypso and bubble-gum pop to rock ’n’ roll. The production includes the popular songs “Go, Go, Go Joseph” and “Any Dream Will Do.” Now one of the most enduring shows of all time, this well-loved musical for all generations has been an introduction for many to musical theater. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” opens on Friday, September 13 and runs for three weekends. Friday and Saturday evening productions begin at 8 p.m.; Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets for “Joseph” are available now at www.footlighterstheater.com for all shows; just $18 for adults and $12 for children (12 and under).

Stable Shakers to Perform in Lansdowne ansdowne Folk Club presents the Stable Shakers, a progressive Americana band with inter-tangling influences of folk, jazz, and country western themes on Thursday, September 26, 2019. Held at the Twentieth Century Club, 84 S. Lansdowne Avenue, Lansdowne, PA, doors

Lansdowne Folk Club presents the Stable Shakers, from left â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Spencer Pheil, Brechyn Chace, Jim Aguzzi, Tom Hoy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 26, 2019 at the Twentieth Century Club. open at 7 p.m. and show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $17 when purchased in advance online or with an advanced phone reservation and $20 without an advance reservation. Parking is available on the street and at the SEPTA train station approximately one block away. For reservations, parking information, advance ticket sales and more, visit www.folkclub.org, email Lfolkclub@gmail.com or call 484-466-6213. Cash only accepted at the door. The Stable Shakers are an ever-changing, dynamic instrumental twang jazz group that have no intention on fitting into a cookie cutter genre. Hailing from the Cumberland Valley farmlands of Pennsylvania, the group formed after a serendipitous New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve show at the Birchmere Music Hall, where backstage former Hello Strangers band-mates guitarist Spencer Pheil and bassist Tommy Hoy met with pedal steel player Dave Hadley (Bumper Jacksons), who currently fills out the instrumental outfit alongside long-time drummer and friend Jim Aguzzi. Together, the four embarked on an instrumental crusade to bring improvisation into genres that had traditional rigidity and are giving them a refreshing new life. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the Stable Shakers will stop there. Shows continue to challenge and shift, as the group can perform with countless combinations of featured guest musicians, from keyboardists, to vocalists as well as changing from quartet to trio and duo. Many shows feature several sets of multiple configurations, all different, and yet all complementary to each other. Their brand of improvisation is meant to be visceral and tactile: music for the people. Check them out at www.stableshakers.com. The Club will also be holding a beer tasting fundraiser between 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, October 13 at 2312 Garrett Pub, 2312 Garrett Road, Drexel Hill, PA. Tickets are $35 per person, which will include the beer tasting and some snacks. Call or email to make a reservation or buy tickets on the website. Other upcoming concerts include Mara Levine and Gathering Time on October 24, Deb Callahan on November 21 and Stephen DiJoseph on December 5. Founded in 1993, the Lansdowne Folk Club is a 501(c) (3) all volunteer non-profit corporation dedicated to presenting folk, acoustic and blues music.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL & EDUCATION NEWS

The Haverford School Marks First Day of 136th Year with Traditions and Focus on Compassion he Haverford School kicked off the 2019-20 school year with time-honored traditions on September 4. Opening Day activities included the annual Walk of Virtues and the announcement of the Virtue of the Year, which is compassion.

A kindergartener is escorted through The Haverford School’s Walk of Virtues by three members of the senior class on September 4. The ritual of seniors walking kindergarteners through the Walk of Virtues on Opening Day is a time-honored tradition that represents the journey of learning, growth, and brotherhood at the School. Seniors escorted kindergarten students to and from their classrooms using the School’s Walk of Virtues, which showcases the qualities and characteristics that Haverford seeks to imbue in its community. The walk symbolizes the journey that students take together during their time at Haverford as they learn, grow, and become well-rounded young men. During the Opening Day assembly, Student Body President and senior Vincent Scauzzo welcomed his fellow students – 965 across three divisions – back to school. He also highlighted this year’s virtue of compassion, which is one of 24 virtues engraved along the Walk of Virtues. “Compassion is not only applicable to the School, but also something that you can take with you into the world,” said Scauzzo. “Hatred and anger have the capability to seep in through our walls and ceilings like a fungus. Our job is to tolerate none of it – to exterminate the bad and bring out the good.” Scauzzo introduced Headmaster Dr. John Nagl, who shared his goals for the school year, and the importance of showing compassion for others. “I am going to ask you to focus this year on compassion. When we know that someone is hurt, we instinctively hold out our hand to them, give them a hug or a pat on the shoulder, and tell them it’s going to be okay,” said Nagl. “But we don’t always show others that we’re in pain. So what I’m asking each of you is to feel the hurts of those around you, to treat each of them as gently as you can, and to treat everyone with compassion and friendship.” Scauzzo also performed the annual striking of the gong to officially start the new school year.

from Asia with no predators in North America. Since the emerald ash borer arrived in the United States in 2002, it has rapidly decimated millions of ash trees. With a 99% kill rate, the beetle will sweep through our local forests like a wave, wiping out all of Philadelphia’s untreated ash trees within a decade. With ash forming a significant portion of the Center’s forest canopy, the insect will have a dramatic impact on our ecosystem. We All Fall Down is a response to this impact, a way to create new art works for the Schuylkill Center’s gallery and trails that illustrate the significance of threats to Philadelphia’s trees. We All Fall Down: Artists Respond to the Emerald Ash Borer uses this challenge to form an intersection between the environment and the creative process to make the impacts of this invasive insect more visible and understandable. This exhibition opens with a 7 p.m. reception on Thursday, September 19 that will include artist talks in the gallery, refreshments, and a short guided walk to the site-specific works on the center’s trails. We All Fall Down will be on view in the gallery and on the trails through November 30. The Schuylkill Center provided wood from impacted ash trees on the property to six artists (Nancy Agati, Laurie Beck Peterson, Anthony Heinz May, John Kuiphoff, Brian Skalaski, and Janine Wang), who created new artworks that reveal the emerald ash borer’s impact. Nancy Agati takes inspiration from the ash borer’s initial arrival in the United States via packing material, creating sculptural shipping crates that contain both the dramatic paths of ash borer larvae and graphic carved maps of where the insect has spread in the United States. In 200,000 Ash Trees, John Kuiphoff has drilled 200,000 holes in the shape of an ash tree into an ash lumber panel, symbolizing the number of trees in Philadelphia that will die as a result of the infestation, which helps viewers visualize data that can be difficult to comprehend. Brian Skalaski’s steambent installation utilizes a centuriesold technique to evoke a sense of the past, with forms that depict natural elements (leaves, seedpods, cocoons) that allude to transformation and new life. Janine Wang’s turned wood handles, designed to fit comfortably into a human hand, invite a sense of intimacy, tangibility, and human history to the ways in which our species has interacted with the ash. Photographer Laurie Beck Peterson started documenting the Schuylkill Center’s changing forest last spring. She will present several gum bichromate landscape prints depicting

the Center’s ash landscape, along with cyanotype images layered on ash logs in the gallery and ash stumps in the Schuylkill Center’s forest. Anthony Heinz May’s outdoor, site-specific monument will be created from a free-standing ash tree near the Visitor Center to illustrate a past, present, and future of nature as compromised by systemic environmental change. Through May’s work, the tree will appear pixelated as if it were a glitch in the landscape, encouraging viewers to think about the interface between natural and man-made worlds. “Artists have a key role to play in spreading awareness about unfolding ecological crises and in helping us work through our responses to the loss of biodiversity in nature, both practically and emotionally,” says Christina Catanese, Director of Environmental Art at the Schuylkill Center. “It’s critical that our environmental art program is reacting to emerging challenges in the world and especially on our property. When the ash borer arrived on our site, we initiated this project as a collaboration between the artists creating new works from trees that formerly grew on the Schuylkill Center’s land and our staff who are working so hard to respond to this issue.” As a fast-growing, early successional species, the ash tree helps to stabilize the soil and serves as a food source for wood ducks and songbirds. Its absence will create change in the forest. “The decrease in canopy cover following the decline of the ash trees will create a sunnier microclimate, leading to erosion and the establishment of more invasive plants,” said Andrew Kirkpatrick, Manager of Land Stewardship. In anticipation of these changes, the Schuylkill Center has planted over 28 different native species of tree – including oak, beech, birch, hornbeam, dogwood, and hickory – around the impacted trees. This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Philadelphia Science Festival. The Schuylkill Center’s environmental art program receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Support also provided by the Philadelphia Cultural Fund. Visit www.schuylkillcenter.org.

American INSIGHT to Present 2019 Free Speech Award to Hollywood Director Robert Greenwald merican INSIGHT will honor the 2019 Free Speech Film Festival Award Winner, Suppressed: The Fight to Vote, at the Free Speech Award Ceremony at Cliveden in Germantown, September 22, from 3 to 5 p.m. Purchase tickets online by Friday, September 20 at 5 p.m. on Eventbrite (no tickets sold at the door). The fundamental right to vote continues to be one of the most contentious political issues facing the United States, particularly as the country enters the 2020 Presidential election. Against the historic backdrop of “Cliveden of the National Trust” in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA – witness to pivotal events in the nation’s history – American INSIGHT will present its 2019 Free Speech Award to Hollywood Director Robert Greenwald, Founder of Brave New Films, for his latest documentary, Suppressed: The Fight to Vote. Robert Greenwald weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in last year’s midterm election. Selected scenes from the Free Speech Award-winning film will be previewed at the event, in advance of its world premiere the following week in Atlanta, and Greenwald will be interviewed on camera by American INSIGHT Board member Karen Curry, former NBC and CNN Bureau Chief. An ex-

tended Q + A session with the audience follows. American INSIGHT’s Free Speech Award Ceremony highlights the work of filmmakers who submit films to the annual Free Speech Film Festival that present various perspectives on the global fight against injustice. Filmmakers are encouraged to use the art of filmmaking to engage the global community in a deeper conversation about the complexities of Free Speech, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law. Each year, American INSIGHT chooses one film that best embodies the core principles of Free Speech and provides insight into how we, as global citizens, can shape the future of the Human Rights Movement. By promoting these documentaries, American INSIGHT celebrates fresh perspectives and compelling narratives that both amplify the voices of today’s Human Rights Movement and propel the conversation forward. Combining the resources of a broadcast-quality television production company with a fully integrated digital network and delivery system for multi-platform media content, American INSIGHT is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization registered in the State of Pennsylvania. Its mission is to add insight into Free Speech, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law by broadening exposure to the history and future of Free Speech through emerging technologies.

For reservations call 484-380-3688 or search Eventbrite for “Dine & Dish.” Advance sales only, no refunds. “Dine & Dish allows me to share my passion for connecting exceptional people, while dining on amazing food in a stunning setting,” explains Michelle Leonard. “I love how these events have created strong connections, new relationships, and look forward to creating more!” Kim Wright, owner of Nothing Bundt Cakes in Wynnewood shared Michelle’s enthusiasm for moving the event to Main and Vine because of operating partner Jay Steven’s passion, Karen Nicolas’s excellent food and the fabulous private room which will hold 50 people for a sit down dinner. Eddie Ross is the Co-founder and Chief Content Creator of Maximalist Studios, specializing in environmental photography for the home design and consumer products industries. He has worked as a design, decorating and food editor for Better Homes & Gardens, Food Network, Martha Stewart Living and House Beautiful. Recognized by design aficionados for his inventive, out-of-the-box approach to decorating and entertaining, Eddie consistently re-imagines the aesthetic possibilities in secondhand finds, imbuing them with a chic and colorful sophistication within everyone’s reach. His sold-out tours of antique markets across the country have empowered devoted followers to find the best things they can and, at the same time, to give new life to what they may already own. A trained chef from the Culinary Institute of America, Eddie has styled parties and table settings featured in House Beautiful, Southern Living and InStyle. His design work has been published in Domino, Vanity Fair, Country Living and the New York Times. He has also appeared in Bravo’s interior design competition series Top Design and entertaining specials for HGTV. Eddie lectures widely on the living arts, from food and flowers, to gardening, decorating and entertaining. His first book, entitled Modern Mix: Curating Personal Style with Chic & Accessible Finds, was published by Gibbs Smith in September 2015. Michelle Leonard wears many hats. She is the founder and host of the successful Tasty Talks luncheon series, where celebrities talk about making a difference. Michelle’s Dine & Dish dinner series connects inspirational leaders who share their secrets of success with attendees. Every event that Michelle produces has a charitable component because of her strong commitment to giving back in our community. As a realtor with Keller Williams Realty, Michelle sells her clients’ homes for top dollar, in their time frame and with the least hassle possible. She also connects her clients with their dream of home ownership. Michelle has always been the go to person on where to eat out, where to go and who the best people are to work with. In college Michelle had a poster which sums up her philosophy. “My tastes are simple I like the best.” She happily shares these curated connections on Social Media. People look forward to her restaurant reviews. In September Michelle is judging the hat contest, “Diamonds, Denim and Dressage” at Dressage at Devon; and in October she is one of the celebrity judges at Lu Ann Cahn’s Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation Golden Gut Awards. To find out about Michelle’s future events follow her on Instagram @thehatlady507.
