SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art:  John Sloan’s Street Theater
DESCRIPTION:In the early twentieth century\, John Sloan emerged as a key figure of the Ashcan School\, a group of artists focused on portraying the unvarnished realities of modern life in New York City. \nA painter and printmaker\, Sloan worked in oil and etching to depict the urban environment around him\, adopting both the loose brushwork of his fellow modernists in his paintings and a more intricate style to capture intimate studies of everyday life in his prints. Selected from a collection of over 500 prints donated to the Brandywine Museum of Art by the late Paul Preston Davis\, the more than 50 works in John Sloan’s Street Theater survey the American artist’s output in this medium. \nAn inveterate people-watcher\, Sloan recorded activities across the social spectrum\, often making pointed class comparisons while providing a window into a time of technological\, political\, and cultural change: horse-drawn carriages gave way to automobiles\, Prohibition came and went\, and women’s roles evolved\, with the emergence of the flapper and a class of young\, independent professionals. Sloan also depicted the excitement of children growing up in the city\, seemingly surrounded by endless adventures. Through a variety of street scenes\, these remarkable prints invite visitors to experience urban life in early twentieth-century New York City through the artist’s eyes.

SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art Presents:  Cropsey\, Wyeth\, and the American Landscape Tradition
DESCRIPTION:The Brandywine will premiere the first ever museum display of a monumental\, rediscovered masterwork by the leading Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823–1900). \nA stunning example of Gilded Age patronage\, Autumn in the Ramapo Valley\, Erie Railway of 1873\, has been in private British collections since it was commissioned the same year by Irish-American railroad magnate James McHenry. This major canvas changes our understanding of Jasper Francis Cropsey\, one of the iconic talents of American art. Almost seven feet in length\, Autumn in the Ramapo Valley\, Erie Railway is both a celebration of the American landscape and American industry. The train passing through the valley is a reference to the Erie Railroad\, in which McHenry had recently acquired a majority stake. Just after it was completed\, McHenry had the painting shipped to England where it remained until purchased in 2025 by the The J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Foundation for American Art. Seen by the public for the first time since 1873\, the painting will be at the heart of a special exhibition\, Cropsey\, Wyeth\, and the American Landscape Tradition\, which draws on the rich and varied holdings of the Brandywine Museum of Art and the Wyeth Foundation for American Art to provide a focused appraisal of the complex art of American landscape painting. \nAlongside this exceptional large-format Cropsey\, additional works by Cropsey\, Alfred Thompson Bricher\, Albert Bierstadt\, William Trost Richards\, John Frederick Kensett\, Mary Blood Mellen\, Martin Johnson Heade\, and more survey the nineteenth-century boom in landscape painting in the United States and the relationship to industry that was a key context at the heart of this movement. The exhibition continues the story with Cropsey’s afterlives. Through key works in the Brandywine and Wyeth Foundation collections\, a clear line of descent traces the further development of American landscape art\, via Homer\, Bellows\, and N.C. Wyeth to an especially rich flowering in the works of Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009). Documentation in the Wyeth family library and archives shows a depth of engagement with artists of the Hudson River School not previously recognized\, including specific lessons in composition\, allegory\, and the aesthetic potential of industry that Andrew Wyeth learned from paintings like Autumn in the Ramapo Valley. With a variety of works in watercolor and tempera\, some of which have never been exhibited before\, the story of the rich American landscape tradition continues and intriguing commonalities between the artists of the Hudson River School and Wyeth emerge.

SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art: ABUNDANCE/EXCESS: A CONTEMPORARY EYE ON STILL LIFE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition considers bounty\, accumulation\, and waste in 21st century American culture through the work of 10 contemporary artists\, including Kate Abercrombie\, Sungho Bae\, Katie Butler\, Ilana Harris-Babou\, artist collaborators Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib\, King Cobra\, Tamara Kostianovsky\, sTo Len\, Cara Romero\, and Misha Wyllie. The exhibition will be on view at the Brandywine from March 15 through June 7\, 2026. \nStill life\, at its core\, is the artistic depiction of things\, which is explored through a contemporary lens in more than 45 works across a variety of mediums\, ranging from paintings to sculptures to mixed media and video. The works included in Abundance/Excess frequently reflect each artists’ cultural attitude toward that which they acquire\, consume\, and live amongst. Many of the artworks in the exhibition utilize the same subject matter as historic still lifes\, with flowers\, fruit\, meat\, fish\, matches\, and skulls making frequent appearances. The artists also revisit conceptual tropes and techniques from historic still life including decaying food\, indications of the passage of time\, and symbolic juxtapositions to consider where wealth comes from\, who holds it\, and how we find and create it in our own lives.

SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art:  John Sloan’s Street Theater
DESCRIPTION:In the early twentieth century\, John Sloan emerged as a key figure of the Ashcan School\, a group of artists focused on portraying the unvarnished realities of modern life in New York City. \nA painter and printmaker\, Sloan worked in oil and etching to depict the urban environment around him\, adopting both the loose brushwork of his fellow modernists in his paintings and a more intricate style to capture intimate studies of everyday life in his prints. Selected from a collection of over 500 prints donated to the Brandywine Museum of Art by the late Paul Preston Davis\, the more than 50 works in John Sloan’s Street Theater survey the American artist’s output in this medium. \nAn inveterate people-watcher\, Sloan recorded activities across the social spectrum\, often making pointed class comparisons while providing a window into a time of technological\, political\, and cultural change: horse-drawn carriages gave way to automobiles\, Prohibition came and went\, and women’s roles evolved\, with the emergence of the flapper and a class of young\, independent professionals. Sloan also depicted the excitement of children growing up in the city\, seemingly surrounded by endless adventures. Through a variety of street scenes\, these remarkable prints invite visitors to experience urban life in early twentieth-century New York City through the artist’s eyes.

SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art Presents:  Cropsey\, Wyeth\, and the American Landscape Tradition
DESCRIPTION:The Brandywine will premiere the first ever museum display of a monumental\, rediscovered masterwork by the leading Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823–1900). \nA stunning example of Gilded Age patronage\, Autumn in the Ramapo Valley\, Erie Railway of 1873\, has been in private British collections since it was commissioned the same year by Irish-American railroad magnate James McHenry. This major canvas changes our understanding of Jasper Francis Cropsey\, one of the iconic talents of American art. Almost seven feet in length\, Autumn in the Ramapo Valley\, Erie Railway is both a celebration of the American landscape and American industry. The train passing through the valley is a reference to the Erie Railroad\, in which McHenry had recently acquired a majority stake. Just after it was completed\, McHenry had the painting shipped to England where it remained until purchased in 2025 by the The J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Foundation for American Art. Seen by the public for the first time since 1873\, the painting will be at the heart of a special exhibition\, Cropsey\, Wyeth\, and the American Landscape Tradition\, which draws on the rich and varied holdings of the Brandywine Museum of Art and the Wyeth Foundation for American Art to provide a focused appraisal of the complex art of American landscape painting. \nAlongside this exceptional large-format Cropsey\, additional works by Cropsey\, Alfred Thompson Bricher\, Albert Bierstadt\, William Trost Richards\, John Frederick Kensett\, Mary Blood Mellen\, Martin Johnson Heade\, and more survey the nineteenth-century boom in landscape painting in the United States and the relationship to industry that was a key context at the heart of this movement. The exhibition continues the story with Cropsey’s afterlives. Through key works in the Brandywine and Wyeth Foundation collections\, a clear line of descent traces the further development of American landscape art\, via Homer\, Bellows\, and N.C. Wyeth to an especially rich flowering in the works of Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009). Documentation in the Wyeth family library and archives shows a depth of engagement with artists of the Hudson River School not previously recognized\, including specific lessons in composition\, allegory\, and the aesthetic potential of industry that Andrew Wyeth learned from paintings like Autumn in the Ramapo Valley. With a variety of works in watercolor and tempera\, some of which have never been exhibited before\, the story of the rich American landscape tradition continues and intriguing commonalities between the artists of the Hudson River School and Wyeth emerge.

SUMMARY:Brandywine Museum of Art: ABUNDANCE/EXCESS: A CONTEMPORARY EYE ON STILL LIFE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition considers bounty\, accumulation\, and waste in 21st century American culture through the work of 10 contemporary artists\, including Kate Abercrombie\, Sungho Bae\, Katie Butler\, Ilana Harris-Babou\, artist collaborators Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib\, King Cobra\, Tamara Kostianovsky\, sTo Len\, Cara Romero\, and Misha Wyllie. The exhibition will be on view at the Brandywine from March 15 through June 7\, 2026. \nStill life\, at its core\, is the artistic depiction of things\, which is explored through a contemporary lens in more than 45 works across a variety of mediums\, ranging from paintings to sculptures to mixed media and video. The works included in Abundance/Excess frequently reflect each artists’ cultural attitude toward that which they acquire\, consume\, and live amongst. Many of the artworks in the exhibition utilize the same subject matter as historic still lifes\, with flowers\, fruit\, meat\, fish\, matches\, and skulls making frequent appearances. The artists also revisit conceptual tropes and techniques from historic still life including decaying food\, indications of the passage of time\, and symbolic juxtapositions to consider where wealth comes from\, who holds it\, and how we find and create it in our own lives.

SUMMARY:Villanova Theater Presents:  Urinetown
DESCRIPTION:Villanova Theatre proudly presents Urinetown on stage at the Mullen Center for the Performing Arts from April 16th – 26th. This hilarious and subversive musical depicts a drought stricken dystopian society where private toilets are outlawed and there is a fee to pee. When a custodian of Public Facility #9 decides he’s had enough of the megacorporation\, Urine Good Company\, he leads his community in a revolution to free citizens from the financial burden of paying to pee. \nThis three-time Tony Award-winning musical saw success both on and off-Broadway in the early 2000s and was recently nominated for a Drama League Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical in 2025. Urinetown remains a beloved political satire that delivers a perfect stream of irreverent humor aimed at capitalism\, social justice\, environmental collapse\, and musical theater itself. \nUrinetown will run from April 16th to April 26th in the Topper Theatre at Villanova’s John and Joan Mullen Center for the Performing Arts (at Lancaster and Ithan Avenues) on Thursdays-Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 2PM. Tickets run $26-$30 with discounts available for students\, seniors\, MA in Theatre alumni and groups. Tickets may be purchased online at www.villanovatheatre.org or by calling the box office at 610.519.7474.

SUMMARY:Wayne Art Center Presents:  The Joyful Artist – Paintings by Debbie Craley
DESCRIPTION:Wayne Art Center is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Radnor Township resident Debbie Craley.  Craley’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions at Wayne Art Center including Expressions of Radnor 2025 in which her painting Embraceable Ewe was recognized with the 2025 Best of Show award.  This exhibition hangs in the Vidinghoff Lobby Gallery during Expressions of Radnor 2026. \nDebbie Craley’s passion for art has been a constant for over two decades\, with her continued artistic development flourishing at the Wayne Art Center. Her foundation is built upon studies with accomplished artists such as Michael Doyle and Karen Fogarty\, and she actively cultivates her craft with current mentors Anne Graham and Stefanie Lieberman. Craley’s commitment to lifelong learning is evident in her participation in workshops with numerous renowned artists\, where she relentlessly pursues mastery of value\, color\, and a wide array of subjects. As a dedicated volunteer since WAC’s Plein Air Festival’s inception in 2007\, Debbie remains a deeply engaged contributor. \nArtist’s Statement \nEven as a young child\, it has been a dream of mine to be an artist.  For me\, art is about creating a mood in your mind and your home.  My art subjects are based on whatever brings me joy in the moment.  I love being a perpetual student\, as I learn so much from my classmates and teachers alike.  For me\, being creative is a willingness to experiment and risk failure.  The mindset requires curiosity\, patience\, and an openness to new ideas.  Art remains a constant\, enriching source of joy throughout my life.

SUMMARY:PCS Theater:  The 39 Steps

Soon\, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft\, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!
