COSMIC CEILING

Recurring daily until June 9
Abington Art Center

Permanent lighting installation by Mily-on commissioned for the Schwarzman-Toll Pavilion

Abington Art Center’s Pavilion was built in 2000 and designed to engage with the natural setting and the Center’s Sculpture Park. During 2016 renovations, the 2500 sq. ft. ceiling needed to be replaced and Mily-on was asked to create both an artistic piece and a practical solution for the structure and its use as a space for private and public events.

The resulting installation lifts the height of the ceiling and uses the structural steel of the roof to hold thousands of fiber optic strands. Like a loom, the fibers have been woven into a pattern that changes its effect from a delicate translucence during the day to the starry glow of the night sky.

NUNSENSE

February 1 – February 17 
Steel River Playhouse

Steel River Playhouse is excited to continue with it’s 10th Anniversary season by presenting the entertaining, musical comedy Nunsense, written by Dan Goggin and Directed by Drew Boardman. This show is a fantastically funny spoof about the misadventures of a group of nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. As a result, they put on a variety show to raise the desperately needed funds to bury their dearly departed. The performance takes place in the school gym where eighth grade students are getting ready to perform Grease. An entertaining show with a wonderful cast will undoubtedly make for a fun evening. Some of Steel River Playhouse’s most beloved performers are taking the stage to play these feisty nuns who will surely lift your spirits. Genevieve Brogdon plays Ballet-loving Sister Leo, Lisa Hendricks plays street-wise Sister Robert Anne, Amanda Morrell plays befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, Kathryn Tilley plays the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and Alicia Huppman plays mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert. The second longest running Off-Broadway show, this hit production is guaranteed to delight and entertain audiences of all ages.
