Distinguished historian Gordon Campbell is the author of numerous books on literature, art, history, and biography, including the bestseller Bible: The Story of the King James Bible. Professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of Leicester, he is a fellow of the British Academy and a former chair of the Society for Renaissance Studies. In 2012 he was awarded the Longman-History Today Trustees Award for a lifetime contribution to History. In The Hermit in the Garden, his interests in cultural history, architectural history, and designed landscapes converge in a study of the 18th-century craze for ornamental hermits in the grand gardens of Georgian England. Campbell traces the story of garden hermits from their distant ancestors in imperial Rome to their humble descendant, the garden gnome.

The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus is proud to announce the return of our wildly popular "Drag Revue" fundraiser! And this year, PGMC is injecting a little silver in the rainbow as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Philly Pride! If you didn't attend last year's party, then you missed seeing PGMC members get all dolled up in their sexiest frocks and set the stage on fire! We've got that and more planned again for this second annual event. This benefit is special in another way- the proceeds will help PGMC offer scholarships to our singing brothers for member dues, concert tuxedos and outfits, and an all-chorus trip next year to Portland, Oregon. So dress up in your sassiest silver duds, bring lots of green bills, and come have a red-hot time with PGMC!!

Mark Bennion: The End is WhBennion’s recent work continues to explore the artist’s interest in simple geometric abstraction, referencing the tradition of “Tantrikas,” abstract anonymous painters who have lived in parts of northern India for the last 500 years. Characterized by a repetition of markings, “seemingly random yet carefully placed as in poetry,” the artist’s new paintings, collages, and sculptures “invoke the highly symbolic cosmology of Hindu Tantra.” According to Bennion, these pieces rearrange symbols and “words to convey a new meaning… remembering something from within.” The artist’s work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections. He has exhibited both painting and sculptural works across the United States and Canada since 1968. Highlights include solo exhibitions at the Museum of Northwest Art (MoNA) in LaConner, WA, and at the International Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. The artist currently lives and works on Vashon Island, near Seattle, WA.re We Start From

Daniel Clayman utilizes a vocabulary of simple forms and muted colors to create architectural glass sculptures. Shifting Scale will feature a selection of new works by the artist, which explore a variation of proportion, ranging from small to large scale. Although minimalist in aesthetic, Clayman’s pieces are created using a labor-intensive casting method. This process allows for his medium to take on a foggy and textured quality with a sense of depth, while still maintaining its translucency. The artist carefully uses light and shadow to accentuate subtle details in the glass, creating the illusion of mass in forms that are often hollow, describing volume in space.

A hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Due to a 20-year drought (which has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets) everyone must pay for one of humanity’s most basic needs. URINETOWN is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. With its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter, URINETOWN is certain to bring down the house!
