‘Private Lives’ at Old Academy Players7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Nov. 16, 17, 18
8 p.m.
Old Academy Players
3544 Indian Queen LanePrivate Lives by Noel Coward will be performed November 16-18 at Old Academy Players. It is directed by Barbara Pease Weber and produced by Terri Bateman and Brenna McBride. “Extraordinary how potent cheap music is,” says Amanda, the distaff member of the tempestuous couple whose connubial misadventures spark the witty, hilarious soufflé that is Private Lives. She is wrong about this show because it contains Coward’s evergreen song “Some Day I’ll Find You.” The marital misadventure starts when a divorced couple with new spouses unknowingly book adjoining honeymoon suites. The flame between them re-ignites and they run off to Paris pursued by their ditched and chagrined mates. Banter, mayhem and riotous laughter follow. Performances are Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m. Tickets are $15. Call 215-843-1109 for reservations.

Authors Read at Big Blue Marble5:00 pm – 6:15 pm
5 p.m.
Big Blue Marble Bookstore
551 Carpenter Lane
Big Blue Marble will host book readings with James Arthur and Rahul Mehta. Awakening is the theme of Arthur’s fiery debut Charms against Lightning, about the “ghost world” of shadows and personae. A sense of history, politics, and place is an integrated and integral part of the whole, alive with stirring accounts of travel, intimate moments of solitude, and encounters with the ineffable.With buoyant humor and incisive, cunning prose, Rahul Mehta sets off into uncharted literary territory. The characters in Quarantine—openly gay Indian-American men—are Westernized in some ways, with cosmopolitan views on friendship and sex, while struggling to maintain relationships with their families and cultural traditions. For more information call Big Blue Marble at 215-844-1870.

Open by appointment, to schedule, contact: office@germantownmennonite.org
2012 Pew Fellow Lori Waselchuk‘s award-winning documentary project Grace Before Dying chronicles the prisoner-run hospice program at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, in Angola, LA. Waselchuk collaborated with the Angola Prison hospice volunteer quilters to create two traveling exhibits featuring photographs and quilts. Waselchuk’s moving photo essay reveals how extraordinary acts of humanity have helped transform Angola from one of the most dangerous maximum security prisons in the United States, to one of the least violent. Coaxing extreme intimacy from a panoramic image format, the photographs chart the development of a culture of caring and compassion that challenges stereotypes of incarcerated people, and provide an unique perspective on what long-term and life sentences signify for those inside.A hardbound book “Grace Before Dying,” published by Umbrage Editions, accompanies the exhibition.7:00 pmGrace Before Dying -
