KIDS FOR CASH will be coming to The State Theatre Friday, April 25, 2014, at 7:00 pm followed by a discussion panel featuring Jay Paterno, and additional screenings on April 27 and 28 at 4:00 PM and 7:30 PM.

Kids for Cash is a riveting look into the notorious Pennsylvania scandal that rocked the nation. The movie exposes a shocking American secret: As a nation we arrest hundreds of thousands of youth for minor offenses each year, believing we are teaching them much-needed lessons. But what lessons are they learning? Are we helping kids get back on track, or simply ensuring failure? This film has been called a “must see” for anyone who has a kid, was a kid, or loves a kid. Find out what Pennsylvania is doing and what still needs to be done.

“This riveting documentary is a real-life thriller that rivals the most dramatic fiction in terms of emotional impact… Kids for Cash is poised to garner significant attention.” - The Hollywood Reporter

Critic’s Pick – New York Times

The discussion panel following the event includes: Jay Paterno, Robert May (Kids For Cash Producer/Director, SenArt Films), Brad Lunsford (Judge, Centre County Court of Common Pleas), and Emily Keller (Attorney, Juvenile Law Center).

Playhouse Opens Season with a Haunting Ghost Story

Magical mediums and enchanting ectoplasm—that is what is in store for the start of the 2014 season at The Playhouse at McConnellstown. “Blithe Spirit,” written by Noel Coward, takes a comedic and otherworldly look at love in a person’s first and second marriages.

After a “spirited” séance goes decidedly wrong, the cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine suddenly finds himself face to face with the ghost of his deceased wife, Elvira…much to the chagrin of his current spouse, Ruth. Love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem when Ruth is accidentally killed and united with Elvira on the “other side.” Together the paranormal pair of blithe spirits haunt their hapless husband with hilarious consequences.

Dan Weston (Huntingdon) steps into the role of Charles Condomine. The second wife, Ruth, is played by Mary Garvey (Huntingdon), and Jennifer Powell (Huntingdon) delivers as the haunting Elvira. Jeanne Nagurny (Huntingdon) mystifies as Madame Arcati. Dr. Bradman is shared between Keith Sutton and Kevin Sontheimer (both of Huntingdon). Jean Mank (McVeytown) plays Mrs. Bradman, and Meghan Whitesel (Huntingdon) sprints across the stage as Edith the Maid.

This farce of ghostly improbability is directed by Keith Sutton with assistance from Kevin Sontheimer. Molly Weaverling manages the special effects; Rick Brown handles sound design. Technical direction is by Barbara Hughes with set design by Don Deitz. Jeanne Nagurny lends her skills to costumes and set decoration.

“Blithe Spirit” will begin its run on Friday, April 25th at 8:00 p.m. Evening performances will continue on April 26th, May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Sunday matinee showings are April 27th and May 4th at 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $12 for regular admission, $10 for seniors and students. For reservations call 814-627-0311. The Playhouse is located at 11680 Raystown Rd, McConnellstown, PA, six miles South of Huntingdon right on Rt. 26.

"The Art of Adornment"
April 6 - May 25, 2014
Bellefonte Art Museum for a Centre County
bellefontemuseum.org
814-355-4280

OPEN: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.

The Art of Adornment is an exhibit of over 100 pieces of jewelry and adornment created by traditional cultures from people of Africa, Asia and the Americas. It is a celebration of the customs, styles and techniques of personal adornment. The exhibition is designed to take the viewer on a cultural tour of exotic beauty and powerful design by sharing examples of objects of adornment from a variety of cultures. Many of the works are no longer made and represent styles that have given way to modernization. The collection honors the creativity, artistry, and ingenuity of indigenous craftsman. Most of the ornaments in the exhibition date from 50 to 300 years and there are some much older.

History
Shell beads excavated in South Africa have been estimated to be over 50,000 years old and may be the oldest example of human adornment. The beads were incised and punctured with holes apparently for stringing. Drawings in cave dwellings in Africa dating more than 10,000 years illustrate persons wearing elaborate head dressings. Examples of chest plate necklaces, ropes, earpieces and bracelets made of metal, clay and stone dating 2000 to 5000 years have been found in excavations in Africa, South America and Asia. The early use of adornment poses the question: why did early humans decide to add to their appearance? Perhaps they were copying the example of flora and fauna using colors and designs to make themselves more noticeable. Evidence of early adornment seems to provide a sense of knowledge about our early ancestors.

Exhibition
Personal body decorations may include the manipulation of the body by piercing and inserting objects, binding, and scaring. Piercing and scarification has been used by men and women for millennia. The exhibition includes examples of piercing objects and metal bands used on necks, ankles and arms.

Many native cultures designed adornment to represent the natural world so they incorporated feathers, bones and bird beaks to represent natural powers especially the power of birds to fly. The exhibit will include a headdress and necklaces created in this way.

South American and Native American cultures are represented with works of silver, gold and turquoise and reflect the classic use of those materials throughout the Americas.

The natural world afforded materials for beautiful and powerful designs. Traditional people have used ivory, gold, shells, stones and amber to create cherished works handed down through families and cultural groups. The exhibition includes shell necklaces from the Himba of Namibia, ivory from northern, eastern and western African groups, and stone from southeast Asian cultures. For hundreds of years, west African cultures excelled at working with god and bronze.

The collection on exhibition includes amazing examples of bronze ornaments for ankle and neck decorations.

It might be said that beads are the most common and oldest form of adornment. Beads have been made from clay, bone, stone, metal, ivory, glass and alloys of silver and gold and created by people in almost every culture. They were easy to carry, trade and a convenient way to make personal decorations. Over time beads became a major trade item and sometimes were used as currency. A major change in human adornment came from the exportation of beads from Europe especially Italy and the Ottoman Empire. The end of the Renaissance found colorful glass and metal Venetian beads in almost every trading culture. Venetian beads were traded in almost every part of Africa. The exhibition includes many varied beads with samples of how beads were used by people in Africa, Asia and the Americas

Adornment is used to demonstrate power, sexual attraction, life passages, relationships and protection. The creation of personal adornment reflects tradition, nature and craftsmanship. Some ornaments are designed in simple ways and others create interest by their complexity. Whether a work is splendid or simple, it is the result of the unique way colors, forms and shapes are assembled in design and result in wearable works of art.

The jewelry and artifacts exhibited are from the collection of Patricia House (Director, Bellefonte Art Museum). Ms. House has collected ethnic and tribal wearable art for over 50 years.

In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre - not a handsome prince - shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.

Come and join us at Zola New World Bistro from March 3rd to April 26th to enjoy Clare Miller's etchings on display.
In the last five years, Miller’s work has evolved into a new genre of highly sought after “green” art. Her work gives life back to discontinued styles of wooden doors, cabinet doors, and panel shutters that would have otherwise been discarded. The panels are refinished and carved resulting in a nature-inspired textural wonderland. When etched, the old panels often reveal the many under layers of paint. In effect, this unearths the subtle color variations that allude to the history and life span of the once-unwanted piece of wood. Miller’s multifaceted tribute to nature is apparent not only through her choice of mediums but also the subject matter in her work.
Miller’s work has been featured on ABC Channel 27 Harrisburg’s news and the Carlisle Sentinel Newspaper, as well as the Patriot News Penlive.com for her “green art” concept.

This exhibition will examine the role of women in the Victorian period when Moses and Mary Irvin Thompson were raising their family at the Centre Furnace Mansion and serving as a center of hospitality during the development of the Farmers High School.

During the Victorian era, women’s lives were incredibly affected by developments in food preservation and the importance of stringent rules of etiquette.” The Veiled Arts of Victorian Women” exhibit explores the ways in which these two aspects of daily life influenced the Victorian woman’s place in the middle class home as she strove to be the moral compass of her family, ensuring that they adhere to the rules of etiquette in any situation.

Admission to the exhibit and Centre Furnace Mansion is free during tour hours Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

"The Art of Adornment"
April 6 - May 25, 2014
Bellefonte Art Museum for a Centre County
bellefontemuseum.org
814-355-4280

OPEN: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.

The Art of Adornment is an exhibit of over 100 pieces of jewelry and adornment created by traditional cultures from people of Africa, Asia and the Americas. It is a celebration of the customs, styles and techniques of personal adornment. The exhibition is designed to take the viewer on a cultural tour of exotic beauty and powerful design by sharing examples of objects of adornment from a variety of cultures. Many of the works are no longer made and represent styles that have given way to modernization. The collection honors the creativity, artistry, and ingenuity of indigenous craftsman. Most of the ornaments in the exhibition date from 50 to 300 years and there are some much older.

History
Shell beads excavated in South Africa have been estimated to be over 50,000 years old and may be the oldest example of human adornment. The beads were incised and punctured with holes apparently for stringing. Drawings in cave dwellings in Africa dating more than 10,000 years illustrate persons wearing elaborate head dressings. Examples of chest plate necklaces, ropes, earpieces and bracelets made of metal, clay and stone dating 2000 to 5000 years have been found in excavations in Africa, South America and Asia. The early use of adornment poses the question: why did early humans decide to add to their appearance? Perhaps they were copying the example of flora and fauna using colors and designs to make themselves more noticeable. Evidence of early adornment seems to provide a sense of knowledge about our early ancestors.

Exhibition
Personal body decorations may include the manipulation of the body by piercing and inserting objects, binding, and scaring. Piercing and scarification has been used by men and women for millennia. The exhibition includes examples of piercing objects and metal bands used on necks, ankles and arms.

Many native cultures designed adornment to represent the natural world so they incorporated feathers, bones and bird beaks to represent natural powers especially the power of birds to fly. The exhibit will include a headdress and necklaces created in this way.

South American and Native American cultures are represented with works of silver, gold and turquoise and reflect the classic use of those materials throughout the Americas.

The natural world afforded materials for beautiful and powerful designs. Traditional people have used ivory, gold, shells, stones and amber to create cherished works handed down through families and cultural groups. The exhibition includes shell necklaces from the Himba of Namibia, ivory from northern, eastern and western African groups, and stone from southeast Asian cultures. For hundreds of years, west African cultures excelled at working with god and bronze.

The collection on exhibition includes amazing examples of bronze ornaments for ankle and neck decorations.

It might be said that beads are the most common and oldest form of adornment. Beads have been made from clay, bone, stone, metal, ivory, glass and alloys of silver and gold and created by people in almost every culture. They were easy to carry, trade and a convenient way to make personal decorations. Over time beads became a major trade item and sometimes were used as currency. A major change in human adornment came from the exportation of beads from Europe especially Italy and the Ottoman Empire. The end of the Renaissance found colorful glass and metal Venetian beads in almost every trading culture. Venetian beads were traded in almost every part of Africa. The exhibition includes many varied beads with samples of how beads were used by people in Africa, Asia and the Americas

Adornment is used to demonstrate power, sexual attraction, life passages, relationships and protection. The creation of personal adornment reflects tradition, nature and craftsmanship. Some ornaments are designed in simple ways and others create interest by their complexity. Whether a work is splendid or simple, it is the result of the unique way colors, forms and shapes are assembled in design and result in wearable works of art.

The jewelry and artifacts exhibited are from the collection of Patricia House (Director, Bellefonte Art Museum). Ms. House has collected ethnic and tribal wearable art for over 50 years.

The Bald Eagle Area Middle-High School Drama Club will present their spring musical “Shrek” on April 24, April 25, and April 26th. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m. The shows will be staged in the BEA Middle-High School auditorium, 751 S Eagle Valley Rd, Wingate, Pennsylvania. 16823.

Based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, Shrek brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage.

In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre - not a handsome prince - shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.

Playhouse Opens Season with a Haunting Ghost Story

Magical mediums and enchanting ectoplasm—that is what is in store for the start of the 2014 season at The Playhouse at McConnellstown. “Blithe Spirit,” written by Noel Coward, takes a comedic and otherworldly look at love in a person’s first and second marriages.

After a “spirited” séance goes decidedly wrong, the cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine suddenly finds himself face to face with the ghost of his deceased wife, Elvira…much to the chagrin of his current spouse, Ruth. Love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem when Ruth is accidentally killed and united with Elvira on the “other side.” Together the paranormal pair of blithe spirits haunt their hapless husband with hilarious consequences.

Dan Weston (Huntingdon) steps into the role of Charles Condomine. The second wife, Ruth, is played by Mary Garvey (Huntingdon), and Jennifer Powell (Huntingdon) delivers as the haunting Elvira. Jeanne Nagurny (Huntingdon) mystifies as Madame Arcati. Dr. Bradman is shared between Keith Sutton and Kevin Sontheimer (both of Huntingdon). Jean Mank (McVeytown) plays Mrs. Bradman, and Meghan Whitesel (Huntingdon) sprints across the stage as Edith the Maid.

This farce of ghostly improbability is directed by Keith Sutton with assistance from Kevin Sontheimer. Molly Weaverling manages the special effects; Rick Brown handles sound design. Technical direction is by Barbara Hughes with set design by Don Deitz. Jeanne Nagurny lends her skills to costumes and set decoration.

“Blithe Spirit” will begin its run on Friday, April 25th at 8:00 p.m. Evening performances will continue on April 26th, May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Sunday matinee showings are April 27th and May 4th at 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $12 for regular admission, $10 for seniors and students. For reservations call 814-627-0311. The Playhouse is located at 11680 Raystown Rd, McConnellstown, PA, six miles South of Huntingdon right on Rt. 26.
