SUMMARY:The Savoy Company presents Gilbert & Sullivan's The Gondoliers!
DESCRIPTION:Come dance the cachucha and join The Savoy Company in celebrating our 125th anniversary year with Gilbert & Sullivan’s uplifting operetta\, The Gondoliers! Set in Venice and the fictional kingdom of Barataria\, the plot centers on two gondoliers\, Marco and Giuseppe\, who discover that one of them is the rightful king but cannot determine which. They agree to rule jointly until the true monarch can be identified\, allowing Gilbert to satirize monarchy\, aristocracy\, and British political institutions. The show is especially noted for its unusually warm tone and emphasis on equality\, reflecting contemporary late-Victorian debates about class and governance.\nThrough its witty dialogue\, lively ensemble numbers\, and playful mockery of aristocracy and political systems\, the operetta celebrates equality while poking fun at rigid class distinctions and the pretensions of monarchy.\nPremiered in 1889\, The Gondoliers is the twelfth collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The show ran for 554 performances\, making it one of the duo’s most successful later works.\nIntroducing Stage Director Grant Mech and Choreographer Rebecca Malcolm-Naib\, whose inventive vision brings The Gondoliers to life in a masterful comedy that sparkles under the outstanding baton of Music Director Peter Hilliard and a superb professional orchestra. Produced by William Kader\, the production is enhanced by a striking\, professionally designed set and delightfully charming costumes.

SUMMARY:Chester County Studio Tour-Studio 36
DESCRIPTION:Come out and meet the artists of studio 36. \nSaturday May 16th 10-6PM and Sunday May 17th 11-5PM \nFrom studio host Stacy: I create fine art photography that captures the deep emotional connection between horses and humans. With a background in both photography and dressage\, I use light\, shadow\, and composition to reveal the beauty\, strength\, and spirit of the equine form. While horses are at the heart of my work\, I also explore still life\, florals\, and nature through a fine art lens—always seeking to create imagery that feels both timeless and intimate. \n  \nFrom guest artist Ivy: \nI began my art career eighteen years ago in commercial art\, but my focus shifted in recent years to create sparkly mosaics and custom paintings. Beginning my mosaics with a simple acrylic or gouache painting provides me with a foundation. Working with mosaics gives me the chance to take broken pieces of glass and make them into a new creation. Since mosaics require a sturdy surface\, I create them on canvas panels or cradled wood panels. Contrary to traditional mosaic artwork\, I use glue to adhere the beads\, pieces of glass\, mica\, and other materials to the panels\, which allows the materials to lend extra sparkle to my mosaics. \n  \nMy art practice is in direct contrast with my rigid day job. The dreamlike quality of my art represents freedom; I can make and do what I want and therefore bring a sense of hope and beauty to my audience. \nAt 1PM on Sunday\, Ivy will demonstrate her groutless mosaic technique to add sparkle to any space.
