Bucks Counties own Robert C. Whitley is a master woodworker of national reputation who is grounded in the ancient traditions of craftsmanship, originality and functionality. 

Born in Berlin, Germany, Lilli Gettinger (1920-1999) fled the Nazis in 1938 and eventually settled in the Princeton region. She had her first solo exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery in 1952 and also taught sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New york City for fifteen years. In her polychrome relief sculptures and pastel drawings, the references to the terrors of the concentration camps as well as her own harrowing escape from Germany are intermingled with allusions to literature, music and the Bible.

You are cordially invited to witness a special taping of "American Grandstand". The King's long-lost twin brother, Melvis, is about to be crowned the new King of Rock and Roll before your very eyes. But with jealous DJs, fading divas, sleazy managers and black chiffon widows at every turn, he may just survive the evening by the seat of his sequined pants.

"Dog Dogs" turns a loving eye on canines and the "human animals" caring for them.  Acutely observing the canine world, he sees dignity in the ankle-high Chihuahua, the anxiety of the homeless hound, the smugness of the adored dachshund, the patience of the poodle and the matchless joy of the homely but well-loved pug. These humorous and insightful photographs explore quirky relationships between dogs and people, and prove that our friendship grows from mutual reseemblance and feeling.  On May 13, Steven Perloff will speak about photography of the animal kingdom, a one-time only lecture at 1pm.

A musical fable, with the forces of poetry, idealism and love pitted against materialism, power and greed. Originally produced on Broadway in 1969, composer Jerry Herman, best known for Hello, Dolly! and Mame, adapted this quirky, yet elegant parable into one of his most beautifully melodic and lyrical scores. He has revisited Dear World in recent years, restoring the piece to its original concept as an intimate chamber musical. This production will feature the 2006 revision of the book by David Thompson (Steel Pier, McCarter Theatre’s A Christmas Carol), with brand new songs and orchestrations by Mr. Herman himself.

Personal Pearl Exhibit will feature clothing and personal items used by Pearl Buck at her Perkasie farmhouse of 40 years.  Elegant gowns, suits, hats, and accessories will be on display, enhanced by corresponding photographs of Ms. buck wearing the items while receiving awards and mingling with influential writers, politicians and leaders of the 20th century.

Guided tours available Tuesday-Saturday, 11:00am, 1:00pm and 2:00pm.
