SUMMARY:Historical Society of Pennsylvania Presents The Changing Faces of Independence: Pennsylvania in the 1800s
DESCRIPTION:How has the makeup of who is an American changed since the American Revolution? How have the people in that changing face of America continuously reinvigorated and reasserted the founding ideals of the country? By examining the documents left by our ancestors in the time leading up to America’s 100th birthday\, this display will ask those questions of their descendants. This exhibit draws on collections at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. It will be curated in partnership with ethnic and genealogical societies that seek to connect Americans to their ancestors through research\, programs\, and networking opportunities. \nBy the time of the nation’s Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia in 1876\, enormous waves of German and Irish immigrants had arrived in Pennsylvania\, and significant migrations of free and enslaved people of African descent had moved from the South\, using the Underground Railroad and following Emancipation during and after the Civil War. What do the records of their lives suggest about how they saw their roles as Americans and as newly arrived Pennsylvanians?

SUMMARY:The Contrast
DESCRIPTION:Written in 1787\, “The Contrast” was America’s first comedy and an indisputable hit in its time! \nThe sentimental Maria is unhappily engaged to Dimple\, a dandy whose recent European tour has given him expensive tastes and a tendency to flirt with her friends. They all seem on track for a life of misery until Colonel Manly and his salt-of-the-earth waiter Jonathan arrive in town to disrupt this disreputable plot. Fresh from the American Revolution\, this 18th-century gem is a comedy of manners that helped define what American manners were to become.

SUMMARY:Pier Players Theatre Company presents "I THINK WE'RE LOST"
DESCRIPTION:From the same theatre company that brought you The Angry Grammarian and Etiquette comes another awfully big adventure! Pier Players presents the world premiere of Peter Fenton’s I Think We’re Lost\, a postmodern reimagining of the J. M. Barrie classic\, Peter Pan. \nIt’s 2026. Wendy is gone\, and a college-aged Peter considers leaving Neverland. To maintain order in her fantasy world\, Tinker Bell recruits a “Lost Boy” and “Wendy 2.0” for a secret mission to kill Captain Hook. These newcomers confront their own existential baggage and uncover the unsettling truths buried in Neverland’s past. \nIf none of that appeals to you\, there’s a chaos pixie tearing holes in reality with fey magic and sword-fighting lady pirates who are pissed as hell. Something for everyone! \nThe production is directed by Madison Caudullo and produced by Chelsea Cylinder. The show will run from April 10th-19th at Theatre Exile in South Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: Satanic Panics
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “Satanic Panics\,” a look at waves of fear of demonic activity as an American tradition\, with Luxx Mishou\, cultural historian and former instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy and area community colleges. \nThe 1980s found the United States gripped by fear of Satanic cults targeting children. They were believed to be corrupting young ones in daycare centers and tempting teens through subliminal messages on heavy metal albums or through the quiet inclusion of demonic rituals in role-playing games. Satanic serial killers supposedly stalked the suburbs. Doctors helped patients uncover what were claimed to be repressed memories of ritualistic satanic abuse. \nParents\, police\, and politicians were urged to protect impressionable youths from both moral and physical danger. With Satanic cults deemed to be a real and material threat\, it was a frightening time for everyone\, including those who suddenly came under suspicion for doing evil deeds. \nThen\, suddenly\, it all faded from public consciousness\, just as surely as did eighties fads such mullet haircuts\, leg warmers\, and Cabbage Patch Kids. \nWhy did it all start? Why did it stop? And has this happened before or since? \nHear such questions tackled by Luxx Mishou\, a cultural historian and media specialist who has long researched the devious and villainous in cultural artifacts. She’ll discuss moral panics as a longstanding cultural tradition\, with each new one stemming from fear of cultural shifts and shaped by the time and place where it occurred. Among the panics we’ll look into are the Red Scare of the 1950s and the public response to the gruesome 1969 murders committed by the Manson Family. \nDelving into the 1980s panic\, Mishou will describe how it began with the 1980 publication of psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder’s memoir Michelle Remembers\, detailing the suppressed memories of ritualistic abuse reportedly suffered by a patient. As that book quickly became a best seller\, its ideas saturated American culture. A California daycare center became the focus of a three-year investigation\, followed by three years of trials\, based on allegations that its owner had engaged in secret ritualistic abuse of the children in its care. \nMishou will lead you through the media that convinced the public that devil worshipers were among them\, and she’ll talk about how reactions to imagined threats can have very real social costs. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3:30 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.) \nImage by Canva.
