T.S. Elliot’s Four Quartets at Quintessence7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Quintessence presents a Special Event: T.S. Elliot’s Four Quartets recited by John Farrell.
Only 5 Performances – November 28 – December 2. Performances at The Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave. Performances are Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m.
In a performance that “embodies an exquisite existential tension suspended between self and poetry,” John Farrell’s recitation of T. S. Eliot’s poetic masterwork brings us into the calm eye of Eliot’s turbulent philosophical and religious questing. Deeply concerned with humankind’s approach to the divine, FOUR QUARTETS is an extended meditation on our existence within and without the flux of time and place, where our ultimate goal is “to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
General Admission $15, Students $10
Call 1.877.238.5596 to purchase tickets.
FREE PARKING is available at the theater.

FOW hosts public meeting on Sustainable Trails Initiative6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW) will host a public meeting to discuss progress to date on the Sustainable Trails Initiative (STI), upcoming STI projects, and new park signage for Wissahickon Valley Park on Thursday, December 6, 2012, at 6 p.m. at Founders Hall, New Covenant Campus. A representative from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation will be present.
The Sustainable Trails Initiative is a multi-year project to make the 50 miles of National Recreation Trails in the Wissahickon a physically and socially sustainable system that works for all park users. This project is being executed in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.
Upcoming work includes projects at the Andorra Natural Area and the Wissahickon Environmental Center, and includes a signage plan that has been in development for approximately five years and is part of STI. This signage project is the first comprehensive plan for a new park-wide signage system that will orient park users during their visits to the Wissahickon and help them deal with potential safety and health emergencies on the trails.
New Covenant Campus is located at 7500 Germantown Avenue. Those wishing to attend the meeting should register with FOW by contacting Outreach Coordinator Sarah Marley marley@fow.org or 215-247-0417 ext. 109.

MAAG Exhibit Features Artists Revitalizing Philadelphia Through Innovative Design12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Sat 24
noon to 6 p.m.
Mt. Airy Art Garage
11 West Mt. Airy Ave.The Mt. Airy Art Garage, a creative center for emerging and professional artists in Northwest Philadelphia, invites you to join us for the opening of RUST3, also known as “Renewed Urban Studio Tent.” If nature was allowed to reclaim the land in the city, it would undoubtedly re-use humanity’s refuse and incorporate it into its new life. This sentiment is at the heart of RUST3. Though this multi-dimensional project, artists Andy Walker and Andy Heisey illustrate how materials found in Philadelphia can be recycled into a new structure that builds on the once-contaminated urban soil. RUST is a wigwam-like structure that was first created out of recycled materials with the help of artists and local residents on the vacant lot at 313 S. Broad Street in Philadelphia in August 2012. A month later, the structure was recycled in a second version of RUST just across the street and displayed the bones (wooden arches, living green roof, clay tiles with iron oxide prints of abandoned houses, and windows made from glass bottles) and skin (refuse mixed with slag cement creating collages) of the structure itself. The final version of this project, RUST3, will be created at the Mt. Airy Art Garage at 11 West Mt. Airy Ave. This gallery exhibition will display the work of the artists who worked inside this studio and a new version of RUST, complete with a video of the entire process of the project, as well as the special entrance and model. Admission is $10. RUST3 opens on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. and continues until Sunday, Dec. 9. General hours are: Thursday-Saturday, noon till 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon till 5 p.m. For further information, call 215.242.5074 or visit www.mtairyartgarage.org.
