The Rebecca Davis Dance Company presents
Darfur
Saturday, November 7, 2009 - 7:30 p.m.
Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre
For the first time, the experience of an American citizen who witnessed the conflict in Darfur is adapted into a powerful and engaging multi-media dance piece. Serving as an African Union military observer, US Marine Brian Steidle spent six months in war-torn Darfur. What he witnessed there is the basis for the book and film, “The Devil Came on Horseback.” Now Steidle’s experience comes to the stage, inspiring the original choreography of Rebecca Davis. This heartfelt, challenging and engaging production for a mature audience believes in the possibility of a better world.

Chasing George Washington: A White House Adventure
Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour
Sunday, November 8, 2009 - 3:00 p.m.
Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall
Field trips are fun, especially when your destination is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! In this charming and exciting new musical, Dee, José, and Annie accidentally knock George Washington out of his portrait and into real life—turning their class tour of the White House into an unexpected adventure. As they try to get the nation’s First president back into his painting, the threesome encounters Jacqueline Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd, Dolly Madison, and other famous White House residents. Together, they learn that the White House isn’t just a historic building… it’s also a home.
This performance is made possible by Justice William H. Lamb, the Chester County Art Association and the Chester County Intermediate Unit. |

Chicago City Limits
Comedy and Improvisation
Saturday, February 13, 2010 - 7:30 p.m.
Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre
Chicago City Limits is NYC’s longest running Off-Broadway show! Hailed as "hysterical and unpredictable" by The New York Times, An Evening With Chicago City Limits, the national touring production, has been described as "comedy without a net." The troupe creates a one of a kind theatrical experience by taking suggestions from audience members and crafting scenes on the spot - everything from mini-musicals to game shows. The result is a hilarious evening of comedy that is totally unique. No two Chicago City Limits productions are ever alike. |
