Directed by Adam Del Deo & James D. Stern
The film follows a group of mostly young dancers and singers auditioning for parts in the recent Broadway revival of “A Chorus Line,” a musical which is itself built around the auditions of 17 Broadway-besotted dancers and singers. The premise of “Every Little Step” is no less inspired for seeming so simple and obvious, and it pays tribute to the durability and continued relevance of “A Chorus Line,” which first opened in New York in 1975, before many of the performers in the movie were born.
When viewers get to know the actors behind the production, the realms of theater and reality blur. With its underdog heroes and self-reflexive narrative, “A Chorus Line” is understandably appealing to today’s reality-show audiences.

Exhibits
Photorealism grew out of Pop art during the late 1960s. Like their progenitors, the photorealists turned away from the modernist vectors of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism to favor instead familiar and often mundane subject matter. This exhibition features ten screenprints by some of the movement's leading artists.
Continues through August 9, 2009.
Museum Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday

This comprehensive exhibition highlights the extensive work Steve McCurry has done portraying the people and landscape of Asia and encompasses his early work in Afghanistan in the 1980s, images from India and Cambodia taken in the mid- to late 1990s, and more recent photographs from Tibet. Although clearly tied to the places and people of Asia, McCurry's haunting photographs take us beyond their vivid locales, providing a glimpse of what he calls the "broader landscape" of the human condition.
"Face of Asia: Steve McCurry Photographs" was organized by the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film with support from the Eastman Kodak Company and Nikon, Inc.

Festivals
Our 8th Annual Firecracker 4K race is the perfect way to kick off your July 4th festivities! In 2008 over 800 runners and walkers participated in our family event. With the 4th falling on a Saturday this year, our goal is to celebrate 2009 in a "GRAND" way with over 1000 participants! The race will begin at 9:00am on Saturday, July 4th. It will be held on the Penn State campus starting near Beaver Stadium.
Form : www.4thfest.org/events_race.asp
Each year the audience anticipates a spectacular fireworks display to celebrate the birth of our country. The 4thFest has been rated the third best 4th of July fireworks show in the US by the international fireworks website www.fireworksguide.com. The all volunteer pyrotechnics team has created what promises to be another fabulous show for 2009. Remember the fireworks show is choreographed to music which is played on 93.7 The Bus. This year’s medley includes traditional patriotic songs, movie and show tunes, as well as popular selections. The clarion call of a heroic Olympics march will set up the energetic grand finale. And what a grand finale is planned. Up until the grand finale the show will be averaging about 4 shells per second. That is per second...not per minute. When we hit the finale, and you should know we are there, the firing rate will pop to over 80 shells per second.
