SUMMARY:Space Melt Cinema presents: Small Soldiers at the Philadelphia Film Center!
DESCRIPTION:Greetings\, Gorgonites. Space Melt Cinema will be screening Small Soldiers (1998) in collaboration with the Philadelphia Film Socity April 11th at 7pm at the Film Society Center — 1412 Chestnut Street\, Philadelphia PA. \nSmall Soldiers is\, once again\, our favorite movie. It’s what happens when a children’s toy commercial slowly mutates into a war movie. Directed by Philadelphia College of Art alumni Joe Dante\, the film begins as a harmless suburban adventure and gradually reveals itself to be something much stranger: a satire about militarism\, consumer culture\, and what would happen if (and when) we put Pentagon-grade microchips into action figures. \nDante’s best joke is the casting. The Commando Elite are voiced by actors from The Dirty Dozen\, including Tommy Lee Jones\, while the peaceful Gorgonites are played by the trio from This Is Spinal Tap: Christopher Guest\, Michael McKean\, and Harry Shearer. The warmongers sound like old war movies. The monsters sound like a rock band. Of course\, let’s not forget the final performance from the legendary Phil Hartman. \nAs always\, thank you to the greatest artist in Philadelphia\, Noah J Landers (https://www.noahjlanders.com) for coming up with this incredible poster.

SUMMARY:Matinée Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Matinee Dance Party is back! Saturday April 11th\, 5pm-9pm! \nFeaturing DJ Eddie Tully\, hosted by Jay the Gentleman\, this month we have special guest DJ Robbie Tronco joining us on the wheels of steel! \n“We don’t just play music; we curate an atmosphere. The Matinée is a high-fidelity journey through the genres that defined generations—from the analog warmth of ’70s Disco and ’80s Dance-Pop to the electric pulse of ’90s House and the rhythmic grit of early-2000s Hip-Hop. \nWe deliver the unfiltered\, peak-hour energy of a midnight club\, intentionally reimagined for the early evening. It’s the perfect escape for the 30+ crowd: an immersive\, high-octane dance floor where you can let loose before the sun goes down\, experience the euphoria of a late-night set\, and still be home to recharge by 11:00 PM. \nDitch the late-night grind. Reclaim your night.”‍

This beautiful composition combines familiar liturgical text with poetry and hymns. \nThis concert will also feature André J. Thomas’ Mass: A Celebration of Love and Joy. This five-movement piece adheres to the traditional liturgical structure of the Mass while being reimagined through the lens of gospel rhythm and harmony. \nIn addition\, we will present Bob Chilcott’s Nidaros Jazz Mass.  This innovative mass seamlessly integrates ancient liturgical texts with contemporary jazz. The composition transitions effortlessly from contemplative ballads to vibrant\, blues-infused\, and high-energy movements.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia Beekeeping Before 1719
DESCRIPTION:Keeping bees (apiculture) was new to North America in the 1600s\, brought to the north-east by English and German colonists to produce honey and wax. The earliest record of apiculture in Pennsylvania explains how German settlers in Germantown kept honeybees\, cultivated honey and wax\, and celebrated bees with poems and stories. \nJoin historian Miranda Mote for a lecture that tells a story of beekeeping in Germantown before 1719. \nMiranda Mote\, PhD is a historian\, artist\, and educator based in Philadelphia and the 2023-24 Garden Club of America / Prince Charitable Trusts Rome Prize\, Landscape Architecture Fellow. She teaches history and design\, works with children in K-12 schools and public venues\, designs teaching games for children\, and is currently writing an arts focused literacy and botany curriculum of lessons designed especially for children that live in urban environments. She established Botanography in 2022 as a non-profit to directly serve students and families in Philadelphia County and believes that every school should have a garden classroom where students can connect with plants every day. \nThis program can be attended in the Skyline Room on Parkway Central’s Fourth Floor. No registration required. Join us earlier in the afternoon for a bee inspired children’s activity for children first grade and up. Learn more here.

SUMMARY:Authors Tracey Levine & Grady Chambers in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join Philly-based writers Tracey Levine (“At the Diner in Heaven”) and Grady Chambers (“Great Disasters”) for a reading & discussion. \nAbout the Event: \nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 7 at 7 PM where authors Tracey Levine and Grady Chambers will read from their work and discuss their craft. Tracey and Grady’s books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nRegistration on Eventbrite is highly recommended! Tickets are free or pay-what-you-want. \nQuestions? Email events@theheadandthehand.com. \nAbout the Books: \nAt The Diner in Heaven\, they’re serving up Bubbie’s chicken soup\, cigs\, abandoned malls\, roller skates\, Tastycakes\, 7-11s\, exes\, homemade bullets\, and the feeling of constantly being angled by boys\, some of them pretending to be men. Levine’s crisp\, intimate prose is—much like an Edward Hopper painting—saturated with loneliness and suggestion. These stories feel like sharing fries with a friend at midnight\, leaning in for the whispered secret that will change you both. – Annie Liontas\, Sex With a Brain Injury \n______________ \nIn the early 2000s in Chicago\, six young men start high school. Though they’ve been friends since boyhood\, their high school years set them on new paths: The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan begin\, along with the protests against them; Ryan falls in love but struggles to hold onto it; and he and the others learn to lose themselves in alcohol. With each passing year―as they enter college or the military\, then the world beyond; form new relationships with partners and children; and navigate shifting loyalties to a changing country―the narrator feels the group breaking further apart and finds himself asking: What does it mean to move forward\, both with and without one another? \nExploring the beauty\, hope\, and humor that can be found even in moments of deep loneliness and devastation\, Grady Chambers’ Great Disasters moves between memories of high school and early adulthood to consider friendship\, first love\, patriotism\, protest\, addiction\, and more. An exquisitely written\, profoundly moving debut novel\, Great Disasters is an intimate portrait of disasters big and small\, personal and political―and the ways the two are intertwined―and the announcement of a stunning new voice in American fiction. \nAbout the Authors: \nTracey Levine grew up in northeast Philadelphia and teaches creative writing and film courses at Arcadia University in Glenside\, PA where she coordinates the creative writing program for undergraduates. Her creative writing work has appeared in many journals such as Crack the Spine\, Streetlight Voices\, the anthology Broken Skyline\, she has a chapbook with The Head and The Hand Press\, and was included in Best Stories of Philadelphia from Toho publishing in 2021. She is the creator and former co-host of the Philadelphia reading series The Hatchery. She is also a dedicated yogi and yoga instructor who plays competitive darts. \nGrady Chambers is the author of the novel GREAT DISASTERS (Tin House\, 2025) and the poetry collection NORTH AMERICAN STADIUMS (Milkweed Books\, 2018)\, selected by Henri Cole as the winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize. His poems and stories can be found in The Atlantic\, The Paris Review\, American Poetry Review\, Ploughshares\, Poetry Magazine\, The Sun\, Joyland\, Image\, The Kenyon Review\, and elsewhere.
