You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this delightful updating of the family film classic as Danny Glover, Christopher Lloyd, and Tony Danza team up for fun and fantasy. The Angels, baseball's worst team, don't have a prayer of winning until a young boy begins to see angels on the field providing some divine intervention that helps the players rise to the occasion and confidently succeed on their own.

On-site at the Shaver's Creek center.
Every Saturday and Sunday from April through mid-November

Cost: $8*, $6* Students & Seniors
Age Restriction: PG-13
Type: Film

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.

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
Noon to 4:00 p.m. Sunday
Closed Mondays and some holidays

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.

Continues through August 16, 2009.

Museum Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday
Noon to 4:00 p.m. Sunday
Closed Mondays and some holidays

Drawn from the Palmer Museum of Art's permanent collection, "Making Impressions" features prints by prominent twentieth-century artists from Philadelphia.

Continues through September 13, 2009.

The exposition of Acts will be practical and bring out info from the original language without being stuffy in an attempt to "feed" & challenge the listener to greater Christlikeness. The first two Sundays in April however will be a break from Acts as we look at the Passion & Power of Christ in observance of the Easter season.

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.

8:30am-5:00pm
I will be liquidating 100's of new Christmas items at Duncansville Antique Depot Indoor Flea Market Saturday July 4, 2009. Shop early for best selection.
