\"stomp-1\"<\/a>

Stomp returns to the Delaware Valley, from December 26-30 for an eight-show run at the Merriam Theater in Philadelphia.<\/p><\/div>\n

The musical stage show \u201cStomp\u201d has been playing to packed houses for more than 20 years and its popularity is showing no signs of waning.<\/p>\n

The energetic and highly-percussive show is coming back to Philadelphia from December 26-30 for an eight-show run at the Merriam Theater (250 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 215-893-1999,\u00a0www.kimmelcenter.org<\/a>) as part of the Kimmel Center\u2019s Broadway season.<\/p>\n

\u201cStomp\u201d has been visiting the area for well over a decade-and-a-half but this time arrives with some new additions. Some sections of the show have been updated and restructured. And, the program features the addition of new routines utilizing unusual props.<\/p>\n

The structure is always there but approximately 30 per cent of each performance is improvised. The cast of the national tour has the versatility — and the experience with the structure of the show — to keep it fresh and new for every performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been on a layoff since June,\u201d said cast member Cammie Griffin, during a phone interview last week from her mother\u2019s home in Massachusetts. \u201cPhiladelphia will be the first stop since the break. We have a couple new performers and a couple old heads. We call them the vets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin was born and raised in Springfield, Mass. A child prodigy since age three, she studied various styles of dance for 15 years and has performed with Lisa Lisa and Grammy Award-winning Yolanda Adams. The versatile performer qualifies as one of the tour\u2019s vets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my eighth year with the show,\u201d said Griffin, who lives in Las Vegas. \u201cWe have a few cast members who have been in the show for 15 years. With \u2018Stomp,\u201d you never really quit. There is always something going on with \u2018Stomp.\u2019 It\u2019s a sisterhood\/brotherhood thing. Once you\u2019re in, you\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStomp\u201d is a wordless show featuring an eight-member cast with energy to burn — a cast that creates beautiful music and sly humor with found objects such as Zippo lighters, push brooms, wooden poles, hammer handles, garbage cans, inner tubes, matchboxes and even the kitchen sink. It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.<\/p>\n

\u201cStomp\u201d runs for just over an hour-and-a-half with no intermission. It features non-stop intensity, lot of movement and a whole lot of noise. To get an idea of what\u2019s happening in the show, picture a group of athletic dancers acting like a group of young kids left unsupervised in a kitchen after drinking a 16-ounce glass of Jolt (a soda that pre-dated energy drinks and boasted \u201call the sugar and twice the caffeine\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u201cTouring with this show is tough on the body but we\u2019ve learned how to stay in shape,\u201d said Griffin. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned how to warm up and cool down. It\u2019s in the contract. We have to go to the gym or work out in our room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe even have a personal trainer person who tours with the show. We also try to eat healthy — which is tough when you\u2019re on the road. This show is definitely not normal in any sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin grew up in Springfield and then attended Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina. Ironically, she wasn\u2019t a dance or theater major.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a chemistry major in college and was going to be a pharmacist,\u201d said Griffin. \u201cBut, I\u2019ve always been a dancer. I toured with Lisa Lisa when I was younger. I did ballet. As soon as I got done with college, I went right to dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cYears ago before I lived in Las Vegas, I was visiting my brother who lived there. I had two auditions for other shows lined up but then saw an ad for a \u2018Stomp\u2019 audition the same day. So, I went for that. I decided to step outside my comfort zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no head shot or resume. I just wanted to get a feel for a real audition. I came back home to Massachusetts and one week later they called and asked me to be in the Las Vegas\u00a0\u00a0cast of \u2018Stomp.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cVegas was the best \u2018Stomp\u2019 show ever. It was like \u2018Stomp\u2019 on steroids. There also have been U.S. tours, European tours and sit-down shows in New York and London. I\u2019ve performed in every single cast including Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the tours, my favorite cities were Rome and London.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve also been to Philadelphia several times with \u2018Stomp.\u2019 I\u2019ve always had a great time in Philly so I\u2019m looking forward to coming back there. It\u2019s a great way to get the tour started again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStomp\u201d will play the Merriam Theatre on December 26 (8 p.m.), December 27 (2 and 8 p.m.), December 28 (1 and 6:30 p.m.), December 29 (2 and 8 p.m.) and December 30 (2 p.m.) Tickets range from $39.50-$75.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for stage show to watch prior to Christmas, then consider a visit to the Grand Opera House (818 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 800-37-GRAND,\u00a0www.firststateballet.com<\/a>) to attend one of this weekend\u2019s performances of\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d by the First State Ballet.<\/p>\n

\"first<\/a>

First State Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker.<\/p><\/div>\n

First State Ballet Theatre, Delaware\u2019s professional ballet company, presents full length ballets and mixed-repertory programs throughout the year. Headquartered in Wilmington\u2019s beautiful and historic Grand Opera House, First State Ballet Theatre performs under the artistic direction of Pasha Kambalov.<\/p>\n

The ballet version of \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d is based on E.T.A. Hoffman\u2019s tale \u201cThe Nutcracker and The Mouse King\u201d and performed to the music of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. With its familiar music and energetic dance numbers, \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d is a show that appeals to audiences of all ages.<\/p>\n

Evidence of Russia can be found all throughout the ballet\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n

Tchaikovsky, the artist responsible for the grand music, was born in Votkinsk, Russia. The original version of the timeless ballet classic was first presented at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1892 and set on the choreography of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov.<\/p>\n

Petipa is known for his long career as \u201cpremier ma\u00eetre de ballet\u2019 of\u00a0the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres and Ivanov was\u00a0Second Balletmaster\u00a0of the Imperial Ballet. Many of the current worldwide productions of \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d are based on the choreography of Georges Balanchine, who was born\u00a0Giorgi Melitonovitch Balanchivadze\u00a0in Saint Petersburg.<\/p>\n

The Russian influence is also there in the First State Ballet\u2019s production.<\/p>\n

Pasha Kambalov, the company\u2019s Artistic Director, graduated from the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia — a school whose list of graduates also includes Rudolph Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Vaslav Nijinsky and George Balanchine.<\/p>\n

After graduating from the Vaganova Ballet Academy, Kambalov danced with Donetsk Ballet in the Ukraine and the Komi Republic State Opera and Ballet in Russia and toured extensively throughout the USSR, the United States and Europe. In the United States he danced with Russian Ballet Theater under the direction of Honored Artist of the Russian Republic Lev Assouliak.<\/p>\n

Now established as one of Wilmington\u2019s eagerly-anticipated holiday traditions, the First State Ballet\u2019s \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d is performed in conjunction with the Delaware Symphony Orchestra and Wilmington Children\u2019s Chorus.<\/p>\n

Performances are scheduled for December 20 at 2 and 7 p.m. and December 21 at 2 p.m. Adult tickets range from $28- $48. Tickets for students (18 and under) are half-price and there are $5 per ticket discounts for seniors.<\/p>\n

Another top-flight production of \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d is the annual presentation by the Brandywine Ballet. It is a professional show that features 60 company members along with 65 students from the Dance Center, which is the Brandywine Ballet\u2019s school.<\/p>\n

The show will be presented four times now through December 21 at West Chester University\u2019s Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall (700 South High Street, West Chester, 610-696-2711,\u00a0www.brandywineballet.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Brandywine Ballet\u2019s performances of the ballet are scheduled for December 19 at 10 a.m., December 20 at noon and 4 p.m., December 21 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $25, $32 and $42 with the morning performances priced at $18.<\/p>\n

Each year, the Brandywine Ballet also hosts a special event in conjunction with the ballet performances \u2014 the \u201cNutcracker Tea.\u201d\u00a0The special pre-performance brunchs, which will be held December 20 and 21 in the library of Asplundh Hall, feature tea sandwiches, fruit trays, cookies and favors. Tickets for the tea event are $25.<\/p>\n

Several other stage shows with Christmas themes are playing in the area over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

The Candlelight Theater (2208 Millers Road, Arden, Delaware,\u00a0302- 475-2313,\u00a0www.nctstage.org<\/a>) is presenting the holiday classic show \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d now through December 23. Tickets, which include a tasty buffet dinner, are $59 for adults and $33 for children (ages 4-12).<\/p>\n

The Rainbow Dinner Theatre (3065 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, 800-292-4301,\u00a0www.RainbowDinnerTheatre.com<\/a>) is presenting its holiday production \u201cBurglar\u2019s Holiday\u201d now through December 28. Ticket prices range from $48-$54.<\/p>\n

\"liz<\/a>

Downingtown’s Liz Longley.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Ardmore Music Hall (23 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, 610-649-8389,\u00a0www.ardmoremusic.com<\/a>) will feature Liz Longley\u2019s \u201cHome for the Holidays\u201d show on December 21 at 8 p.m. Longley, a Downingtown High grad, now lives in Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always enjoyable to get back to Pennsylvania,\u201d said Longley, during a phone interview earlier this year from her home in Tennessee. \u201cI play there several times a year. It\u2019s good to get back to my roots.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating from Downingtown, Longley moved north and earned a degree in songwriting at Berklee College of Music in Boston. She stayed in New England for a while after finishing at Berklee and then headed south to Nashville.<\/p>\n

In the past two years, Longley has taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriting Competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing a lot of writing since I switched to electric guitar,\u201d said Longley. \u201cI\u2019ve been writing a ton of songs for my next album. It\u2019s not as eclectic as my previous albums. There is a little more blues influence. Also, it has more of a rock and pop feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, Longley\u2019s shows this weekend — she\u2019s also performing at Jammin\u2019 Java in Vienna, Virginia on December 20 — show will have a feel all their own \u2026.a vibe that celebrates Christmas and the traditions that surround it.<\/p>\n

Other shows at the Ardmore Music Hall in the upcoming week will be Splintered Sunlight (one of the East Coast\u2019s top Grateful Dead tribute bands) on December 18, Robert Randolph & The Family Band featuring Big Sam Williams with opening act Stolen Rhodes on December 19 and Consider the Source and Moon Hooch on December 20.<\/p>\n

The Steel City Coffee House (203 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, 610-933-4043,\u00a0www.steelcitycoffeehouse.com<\/a>) will present a twin bill featuring Angela Sheik and Tall Tall Trees on December 19 at 8 p.m. and a pair of shows by John Eddie and His Band on December 20 at 7 and 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

\"bacon<\/a>

Better Than Bacon at The Flash.<\/p><\/div>\n

There are times when the audience at The Flash (102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, 484-732-8295,\u00a0http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org<\/a>) is treated not only to the sounds coming from the stage but also to the smells coming from the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The sounds are the work of the talented musicians presented by The Flash. The smells are the work of the kitchen staff as it occasionally cooks bacon in preparation of the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches and the roasted turkey sandwiches on the caf\u00e9 menu.<\/p>\n

On December 19, the air at The Flash will definitely be filled with bacon — the sounds of bacon rather than the smell of the tasty pork product. On that night, The Flash will be hosting another performance by Better Than Bacon.<\/p>\n

Better Than Bacon is billed as \u201cSuburban Philadelphia\u2019s favorite improvisational comedy troupe.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The company includes Vahan Berberian, Lauren Burawski, Bob Curran, Jack Dibeler, Brett Heller, Lauren Henry, Amy Hitchcock, Gerry Kniezewski, Steve Murphy, Susan Price and Dan Stabb.<\/p>\n

Many of the members met at improv comedy classes offered by a local adult night school.\u00a0 After taking the same classes together for more than three years, they decided to take a stab at being real improv comedy troupe.\u00a0 In June 2010, Stabb came on board as coach and established regular rehearsals. At that point, Better Than Bacon was born.<\/p>\n

Better Than Bacon (which for Muslims refers to just about every other food product)\u00a0\u00a0makes up every single word and performs every single action completely on-the-spot — with skits motivated by audience suggestions.<\/p>\n

The show on December 19 will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance and $20 at the door.<\/p>\n

On December 20, The Flash will host a noontime screening of the classic holiday movie \u201cA Christmas Carol.\u201d Tickets are free. Seating is limited and is first come, first serve.<\/p>\n

The evening show (8 p.m.) on December 20 features Mark Unruh. Tickets are $20 in advance and $24 day of show.<\/p>\n

\"mark<\/a>

Mark Unruh<\/p><\/div>\n

Originally a native of Kennett Square, Unruh has been active in the local music scene for more than three decades. He has a unique connection to The Flash. The club\u2019s namesake — the infamous \u201cSandy Flash\u201d — used a hideout cave located on the edge of Willowbrook Farm where Unruh was raised.<\/p>\n

Sandy Flash, who died in 1778, was the name by which\u00a0James Fitzpatrick, a late 18th-century highwayman, was better known. After General Howe captured Philadelphia in 1777, Fitzpatrick joined the British army and frequently engaged in raids into Chester County.<\/p>\n

After the British army evacuated Philadelphia in 1778, Fitzpatrick remained in the area and continued to engage in raids against the Continental Army and its supporters in the local area. \u201cSandy Flash\u201d is a prominent character in \u201cThe Story of Kennett,\u201d Bayard Taylor\u2019s portrait of revolutionary Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Unruh, meanwhile, is a law-abiding multi-instrumentalist whose repertoire spans many genres — bluegrass, blues, rock, classical, jazz and ragtime. After majoring in classical guitar at James Madison University and the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts (now the University of the Arts), he began performing professionally in various acoustic and electric ensembles.<\/p>\n

The show on December 21 at The Flash will get underway at 7 p.m. It will be a triple bill featuring local acts — Jonathan Gibson, Three for Five and Entropy.<\/p>\n

\"annie<\/a>

Annie Haslam<\/p><\/div>\n

The highlight of the upcoming schedule for the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0www.st94.com<\/a>) will be Annie Haslam\u2019s \u201cIn the Spirit of the Holidays\u201d show on December 20 featuring Dave Tesar, David J. Keyes, Tom Brislin, Charles Descarfino and England\u2019s vocalist extraordinaire Haslam.<\/p>\n

Haslam, who was born in Bolton, Lancashire, first gained world-wide recognition when she was asked to become the lead singer of Renaissance, a band formed by Keith Relf after he left the Yardbirds.<\/p>\n

While still a member of Renaissance, Haslam recorded her first solo album \u201cAnnie in Wonderland\u201d \u2014 a highly-acclaimed disc that was a collaboration with (and produced by) Roy Wood, a founding member of both The Move and ELO.<\/p>\n

Renaissance\u2019s latest album is \u201cSymphony of Light,\u201d which was released in a slightly different form last year and titled \u201cGrandine il Vento.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe initially put the album out ourselves,\u201d said Haslam. \u201cThen, nine months later a company in New York offered us a distribution deal. But, we had to do new artwork, change the title and add three bonus tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the bonus tracks is a new song written as a tribute to Michael Dunford. One of the band\u2019s creative forces, Dunford passed away last year after suffering a major cerebral hemorrhage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wrote the song \u2018Renaissance Man\u2019 as a tribute to Michael,\u201d said Haslam. \u201cWe still can feel him around. He definitely visits. Just like Leonardo da Vinci, Michael was a Renaissance man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haslam\u2019s annual holiday show, which focuses on seasonal favorites, will open with I and Thou, a band that features\u00a0Renaissance keyboardist Jason Hart. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are $35 and $50.<\/p>\n

Other shows over the next week at the Sellersville Theater are\u00a0the Sweetback Sisters\u2019 Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular along with Amy Black on December 18, Albert Cummings with the Skyla Burrell Band opening on December 19 and Phil Keaggy\u2019s \u201cWintersky Tour\u201d featuring Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning and Wendy Goodwin on December 21 (with shows at 3 and 8 p.m.).<\/p>\n

Chaplin\u2019s (66 North Main Street, Spring City, 610-792-4110,\u00a0http:\/\/chaplinslive.com<\/a>) will feature a quartet of teen rappers on December 19 — Da-Sean, Trent Vernon, Beezy and D. Lee. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door for the 8 p.m. show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nightmare Before Christmas: An Evening of Short Films\u201d will be presented on December 20. It will be an evening of short films with a \u201chorror\/thriller twist\u201d that is slated to get underway at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

There are five films on the program — \u201cAnother Time,\u201d directed by Amy Frear, \u201cThe Ghosting,\u201d directed by Chris Johnson, \u201cThe Fear Spectrum,\u201d directed by Justin Bamforth,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cReverb,\u201d directed by Samantha Paradise and \u201cThe Hitchhiking,\u201d directed by Chris Johnson.
