Fossil Park of Rowan University, discovered one of the largest creatures to ever walk the earth, Dreadnoughtus schrani. His new book, Why Dinosaurs Matter (Simon & Schuster and TED Books), is a reminder that people’s “place on earth is both precarious and potentially fleeting, and that as we move into an uncertain environmental future, it has never been more important to understand the deep past.” “Why Dinosaurs Matter: A Conversation with Kenneth Lacovara” begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be moderated by WHYY’s The Pulse Host Maiken Scott. Lacovara will discuss how understanding dinosaurs and their vulnerabilities helps us better grasp our place on the tree of life and why we must protect our planet now. As renowned anthropologist Dr. Alice Roberts writes: “Majestic, awe-inspiring, and deeply humbling. Kenneth Lacovara reveals how dinosaurs have changed how we understand time, the world, and ourselves.”

Algeria’s Compagnie Hervé Koubi Launches NextMove Dance’s 2017-18 Season October 12-15 ompagnie Hervé Koubi, Algeria’s all-male dance company, makes its Philadelphia debut kicking off NextMove Dance’s 2017-18 season with five performances October 12-15, at the Prince Theater, 1412 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA. The program features the Philadelphia premiere of Ce que le jour doit a la nuit, a full-length 75-minute work that fuses hip hop, contemporary dance and martial arts choreographed by Artistic Director Hervé Koubi. Performances take place Thursday, October 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, October 13 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, October 14 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, October 15 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20-$62 and can be purchased in person at the Prince Theater Box Office, by phone 215-422-4580 or online http://princetheater.org/next-move. Set to music by Maxine Bodson, Hamza El Din with the Kronos Quartet, Jean Sebastian Bach and Sufi music, the movement vocabulary features over-the-top gravity-defying flips, whirling dervish Compagnie Hervé Koubi, Algeria’s all-male dance company, makes its Philadelphia debut with five performances October 12-15, at the Prince head-spins, super-human handstands, kicks, falls, Theater, 1412 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA. Photo/Didier Philispart catches and lifts interspersed with quieter moments of trance-like reflection. Closing sections include 12 Muslim men bare-chested in white skirted-pant costumes (designed by Guillaume Gabriel) head spinning like flower petals and a dancer speaking in Arabic a poem written by Hervé Koubi translated as “I went there.” Randy Swartz, Artist Director of NextMove Dance states, “We titled NextMove Dance’s 2017-18 the Season of Wow in part because Compagnie Hervé Koubi exceeds expectations of what we expect are the limits of extreme movement. In viewing the work, I wanted Philadelphia audiences to experience the artistry, passion and physicality of this extraordinary troupe who defies gravity.” Ce que le jour doit a la nuit (What the day owes to the night) (2013) traces Koubi’s Algerian heritage. Koubi considered himself French only to discover at the age of 25 his family‘s ancestry was rooted in Algeria. Inspired by a 2008 Yasmina Khadra’s novel of the same name, Orientalist paintings and Islamic architecture, the work explores Koubi’s path to discover his African roots. Ce que is his second collaboration with 12 street dancers from an audition of 200 from Algeria and Burkina Faso. Koubi notes “They are not my dancers. They are my brothers.” In addition to the performances, Compagnie Herve Koubi will be offering a master class TBA and two post-performance chats that will take place after Friday’s 8 p.m. and Saturday’s 2 p.m. performances.

“WHY DINOSAURS MATTER: A CONVERSATION WITH KENNETH LACOVARA” Continued from front page
A book-signing will follow the talk. The event is free, but registration is required to ensure seating. To register, visit http://bit.ly/2hcBpu5. Lacovara is a paleontology fellow of the Academy of Natural Sciences. While a professor at Drexel University before joining Rowan, he and his team unearthed the super-massive Dreadnoughtus, which at 65 tons weighed more than seven T. rex. In the lab, Lacovara applies cutting-edge technology to the study of dinosaurs by using 3D imaging, 3D printing, robotics, and medical modeling techniques. His work is helping shift the perspective of giant plant-eating dinosaurs from their historic portrayal as hapless, lumbering prey to that of fearsome, hulking, hyper-efficient eating machines. The talk at Philadelphia’s dinosaur museum coincides with the Academy’s newest dinosaur-themed exhibit, Tiny Titans: Dinosaur Eggs and Babies. Tiny Titans, on view through January 15, features authentic fossilized dinosaur eggs and recent discoveries about dinosaur reproduction and behavior. The Academy Town Square series is designed to engage and provide relevant educational content to the public on environmental issues. The series is made possible by Warren Environmental Counsel. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is located at 1900 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy., Philadelphia 19103. Visit www.ansp.org or call 215-299-1000 for information.

ACTOR/COMEDIAN BRAD ZIMMERMAN IN “MY SON THE WAITER: A JEWISH TRAGEDY” A hilarious and inspiring story about the grit and passion required to ‘make it’ as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up on your dreams. rad Zimmerman’s hit comedy “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy” will make its Philadelphia premiere at the Penn’s Landing Playhouse on October 5 through November 19. One-part standup, one-part theatrical, “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy” is the story of one man’s struggle to fulfill his dream and ‘make it’ as a comedic actor in New York. Performances are: Thursdays at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 p.m. & 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $45 - $65 and are available at www.plplayhouse.com, calling 1-855-HITOne-part standup, one-part SHOW (1-855-448-7469), or at the Penn’s theatrical, “My Son the Waiter: A Landing Playhouse box office, located inJewish Tragedy” is the story of side the Independence Seaport Museum Brad Zimmerman’s struggle to at 211 S.

Discounted parking is available in the Open Air/City of Philadelphia lot adjacent to the Seaport Museum and next door to the Hilton Hotel. For information, visit http://mysonthewaiter.com. The fact that Brad Zimmerman has put the time in to work on his craft is an understatement. He spent 29 years “temporarily” waiting tables in New York, while continuing to pursue his dream of comedic acting. In “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy,” he tells the story of his journey, along with a chronicle about his childhood, family, and misbegotten love life with warmth, wit, self-deprecating humor, and wicked charm, and combines his years of training as an actor with his innate comedic talent. In his 90-minute show (no intermission), Zimmerman also reviews the trials and tribulations of waiting on tables—particularly for someone not exactly invested in that career, and with little tolerance for finicky diners. As he says in “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy,” he was convinced his epitaph would read “I’ll be right with you.”

“Sacred and Profane: The Art of Richard G. Cannuli, OSA”
Eventually his determination and hard work paid off, and Zimmerman went on to act – he had a small part in “The Sopranos” playing Johnny Sack’s lawyer – and to become the opening act for a number of well-known entertainers, including George Carlin, Brad Garrett, Dennis Miller, Julio Iglesias, and 6 years with Joan Rivers who said “I’ve had three great opening acts in my lifetime: Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling, and Brad Zimmerman.” Villanova University Art Gallery Exhibit Juxtaposes Spiritual Encounter Zimmerman worked on the script for “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy” for nine years, and Aesthetic Enjoyment and performed it in small venues all over the country, including a stint at Stage Door Theatre in Florida, where it came to the attention of producers Dana Matthow and Philip Roy (Respect: his fall, visitors to the Villanova UniA Musical Journey of Women, Old Jews Telling Jokes, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish versity Art Gallery are invited to ex& I’m in Therapy, WaistWatchers: The Musical, Cooking With The Calamari Sisters).

“St. Rita,” Mixed Media, 24" x 18", by Richard G. Cannuli, OSA. The exhibit opens Monday, October 2, with a reception to meet the artist on Friday, October 20. “Sacred and Profane” continues to Monday, December 18. The Art Gallery is located in the Connelly Center on the Villanova campus. Convenient on-campus parking is available. Selected works from the exhibit may be previewed on the gallery’s website at www.artgallery.villanova.edu. For more than 40 years, Fr. Cannuli has been creating art that is inspired and motivated by the spiritual. The vivid vestments he designs for fellow clergy are wearable pieces of artwork that enrich the communal experience of worship. Fr. Cannuli’s exquisite icons – paintings of Jesus, Mary, and other Roman Catholic saints, venerated and used as an aid to devotion – extend an opportunity for personal encounter with the sacred. Fr. Cannuli’s watercolors comprise the private observations and musings of an artist who experiences the world through the act of creation. The pieces included in “Sacred and Profane” date from 1980 to the present. Fr. Cannuli says, “As I have traveled, instead of a photo, I would do a drawing or a watercolor, all done on sight from the places I visited. These works were not meant for public viewing but for my private enjoyment. Now that I am of a certain age, I decided to let them go so that others might enjoy them as I have all these years. In some way they are like my children. I don’t like to see them go, but it’s time for them to go on and enjoy a place outside of the bound book.” Fr. Cannuli earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, his BFA at Villanova, and completed advanced studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He is trained as a painter and printmaker and he works in and teaches watercolor, oil painting, printmaking, and icon painting. He has been on the faculty of Villanova University since 1978 and has been full professor of Fine Arts since 2000. As a professional artist, he has designed and worked with stained glass windows, fabric, mosaic, and liturgical furniture. He is a Certified Liturgical Design Consultant and has assisted cloistered religious communities with their choir and chapel spaces. He conducts workshops on the painting of icons, and he lectures world wide on liturgy and the arts. Fr. Cannuli has exhibited his watercolors in Italy, Spain, China, Russia, Belarus, and Greece—as well as throughout the United States. He has curated, judged, and organized exhibitions of art, as well as participated in roundtable discussions. Working with specialists from Russia and Belarus, he has consulted on determining the symbolism of antique icons. For more information on his corpus of work, visit www.richardcannuli.org. The Villanova University Art Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. For extended and weekend hours, and other information, contact the Art Gallery at 610-519-4612.

For sixth-grade science teacher Marion Jacob, the beehives serve as an outdoor classroom, especially for her indepth unit on insects. “I’m excited to be able to take the students outside, have them make observations and gather real data in nature, and ultimately conduct their own controlled experiments to apply what we learn in the classroom,” she said.

& Leaders in Mercy, from left – Sr. Patricia Smith, former WMA principal; Ann Marie Braca, new WMA principal; Sr. Patricia Vetrano, president of the Sisters of Mercy Mid-Atlantic Community; and Kimberly Baxter, chair of the Waldron Mercy Academy Board of Trustees – were in attendance for the principal installation. Photo/Waldron Mercy Academy he Waldron Mercy Academy Board of Trustees has named Ann Marie Braca as the 11th principal the school’s 94-year history. She succeeds Nell Stetser, who stepped down in June after a 27-year career at Waldron Mercy, the last five as principal. Braca was installed on September 19, 2017 as a part of Waldron Mercy’s annual Mercy Day Mass, which has been a Mercy tradition for 190 years. Braca joins the Waldron Mercy Academy community after an eight-year tenure as principal of Holy Family Regional School in Phoenixville, PA, a consolidation of several elementary parish schools in the area. There, she improved students’ results on standardized tests and successfully led the school through its Middle States reaccreditation. With Braca’s leadership, Holy Family Regional School is now debt-free, and has a balanced budget and capital fund. The school raised funds to provide more scholarships to students. During her administration, Holy Family earned the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, an honor also bestowed twice on Waldron Mercy Academy. “I truly appreciate the confidence Waldron Mercy Academy’s Board has placed in me,” stated Ann Marie Braca, who begins her leadership on the heels of Waldron Mercy’s commendation of a Service Learning Program of Distinction and in the 30th anniversary year of the merging of Waldron and Merion Academies into a co-educational elementary school. “Based on my personal experience, I value how students and their families benefit from more than a superior academic education in a Mercy-sponsored school. The spirit of Catherine McAuley, who founded the Sisters of Mercy, and her charism transformed my career as an educator.” Braca holds a master of science in education from Gwynedd Mercy University and a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University. She has served as a Trustee for the Board for the Foundation for Catholic Education and as a member of the Chester County Advisory Council for Catholic education. For information about the Catholic, co-educational, private elementary school sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, visit www.waldronmercy.org or call 610-664-9847. Waldron Mercy Academy, 513 Montgomery Avenue, Merion, Station, PA, is located in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive Oct. 9 & 10 To Reach Milestone of 10,000 Patients Helped at Lankenau Medical Center he family of Carol Axelrod, in partnership with the American Red Cross, will host a Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive on Monday, October 9 and Tuesday, October 10 from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. at Lankenau Medical Center, 100 Lancaster Avenue in Wynnewood. This is the 10th annual blood drive held at Lankenau and the 22nd blood drive held overall in Axelrod’s honor since 2008. Because each unit of blood collected can help up to three people, the upcoming drive at Lankenau will reach the milestone of helping up to 10,000 patients. “We created this blood drive as a way of giving back to the blood donor community that made it possible for my mother to receive all of the blood transfusions she needed during her treatment for cancer,” said Axelrod’s daughter Michelle Scolnick. “We will always be grateful for the extraordinary gift that blood donors gave us. In holding our own blood drives, we hope to make it possible for other families to have more time with a loved one who needs a transfusion. We are committed to doing our part to ensure that blood products are always available for those who need them.” All presenting donors will receive a gift bag, T-shirt, special refreshments and free entry into prize drawings. In addition, as part of an ongoing “Community CHAllenge” initiative, Axelrod’s family will make monetary donations to two local organizations – Lankenau’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Peter’s Place, a local center for grieving children and their families – for every unit of blood collected at the drive. To schedule an appointment to donate, visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code CHAMemorial or call 1-800-REDCROSS. The Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive honors the memory of an extraordinary woman who became completely dependent on blood products while being treated for multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. Because blood was available every time she needed a transfusion, she was able to celebrate her 60th birthday and see her granddaughter turn three years old before she passed away in July 2008. Later that year, her family began its efforts to honor her memory by encouraging others to donate lifesaving blood. In addition to the October drive in Wynnewood, Axelrod’s family hosts blood drives in Bryn Mawr, Radnor and Lansdale in February, May and July, respectively. To learn more about the Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood drives, visit www.chablooddrive.org.

Fright Fest Bloody Fountain Zombies and Fright Fest Big Top Terror at Six Flags. ix Flags Great Adventure has unleashed its biggest and scariest Fright Fest this fall. Running weekends and select days September 16 through October 31, Fright Fest features more than 25 Halloween-themed shows and attractions. Families can enjoy Thrills By Day with all of their favorite rides and family-friendly entertainment, and experience Fright By Night with terrifying mazes, scare zones, spooktacular shows and thrilling rides after dark. This year, Six Flags unveils two newly-themed haunted mazes, three new shows and a new scare zone so every step is filled with fright. New this season: • Lady of the Lake Cemetery – Great Adventure’s folklore inspired the newest scare zone, which will surely bring a chill to every guest. Guinevere, a drowned bride cursed by the Jersey Devil, has haunted Jackson’s Great Lake for more than a hundred years. Guests can try to spot her spirit in the flowing, white dress as they walk through the mist and monster-filled graveyard. • Aftermath – A post-apocalyptic world becomes a reality as guests try to survive this twisting haunted maze crawling with barbaric, mutant scavengers. This raw experience of a global catastrophe makes nightmares come true. Extra fee required to participate. • Wicked Woods – Fables and folklore from the dark and haunted forests aren’t just for story time anymore. Evil creatures come to life under the creaky and gnarled branches as guests try to escape the night shadows. Extra fee required to participate. • Unleashed – Guests will be spellbound by this new theatrical production featuring incredible acrobatics, dance, music and feats of magic premiering in Showcase Theatre. • Corvyx – Alternative electronic pop artist Corvyx is taking YouTube by storm through a combination of haunting covers, visually stunning videos and original music. Armed with a wicked style and powerhouse voice, Corvyx will rock Fright Fest during his residency near the new Wicked Brew bar on Friday and Saturday nights. • Ignite – A hypnotizing and dazzling display of fire spinning and illusion will have guests glued to the pavement watching every heart-stopping trick. This performance, located next to the Bumper Cars in Adventure Alley, will really see if guests can take the heat. In addition to the new frights, classic family favorites return by popular demand: Trick-orTreat Trail, The Skeletones, Professor Slithers’ Creepy Critters, and the Spooky Kooky Magic Show. After 6 p.m. when the park takes a very dark turn, guests can expect their Halloween favorites like: The Arrival ghoul parade, The Awakening, Dead Man’s Party, Cell Block 6, and Demon District. In all, 11 monstertainment shows, seven free scares, Halloween-themed shopping and dining experiences plus a world-class thrill ride collection are included with park admission, Season Pass or active Membership. Seven haunted mazes require an additional fee. Fright By Night is not recommended for children under 12 and those who scare easily. For more information, visit www.sixflags.com/greatadventure.

The Overbrook Experience Dinner connects guests with the challenges that students who are blind, visually impaired or living with additional disabilities face each day. The evening will feature remarks from OSB’s new Executive Director and CEO, Todd Reeves. The cocktail hour will feature a Beer Garden complete with locally-sourced offerings from some of the best breweries in region. A “Wine Wall” will be featured where guests pay $20 and receive a bottle of wine that is worth at least $20, but possibly much, much more. The evening’s unique Silent Auction items will include a week-long stay on Lake Dunmore in Leicester, Vermont; a VIP package to a Philadelphia Eagles home game; one-of-a-kind artwork from OSB students, and much more. In its first three years, the Overbrook Experience Dinner has raised more than $300,000 to support the M. Christine Murphy Horticulture Education Center on OSB’s campus and improve student access to adaptive/assistive technology. Tickets to the Fourth Annual Overbrook Experience Dinner are available by contacting Robert Smith, OSB Director of Development at rsmith@obs.org.
