October Event: People's Light and Theater Co., Malvern, PA!

Sociology Club Students

The Porch on Windy Hill is showing until October 20th! During our club meeting this Thursday 9/26 we'll pick a date to attend the show. Transportation will be figured out depending on how many of us can go and ticket prices will be heavily discounted. People's Light is closed on Mondays. Shows take place at 7:00pm Tuesday - Saturday and at 2:00pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Run time is about 2 hours with a 15-minute intermission. People's Light is a fantastic theater and I highly encourage attending!

Show description: Mira, a biracial Korean American violinist, and her boyfriend Beckett reconnect with her estranged grandfather and delve into the joys and pains of the past. In the mountains of North Carolina, they discover the ability to bridge divides and heal wounds through the power of music. Set against a backdrop of authentic “old-time” and bluegrass melodies, this heartwarming tale combines endearing characters and traditional instruments in a harmonious exploration of heritage and human connection.

Members of the Sociology Club attended The Porch on Windy Hill at People's Light Theatre in Malvern, PA. Set in the mountains of North Carolina, the play featured incredible folk music. The story followed Mira, a biracial Korean American violinist, and her boyfriend Beckett as they reconnected with her estranged grandfather. Through exploring the joys and pains of the past, they discover the ability to bridge divides and heal wounds through the power of music. The show displayed themes of heritage, race, family, and sociology.

November Event: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA!

Members of the Sociology Club visited the Philadelphia Art Museum on November 16. They first toured the special exhibit “The Time is Always Now: Arts Reframe the Black Figure.” Then, they enjoyed displays of American Art, East Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and European Art plus lunch in the Art Museum cafeteria. It was a full day!

Below, is a photo taken outside of the Philadelphia Art Museum featuring Sociology Club members (Jordan, Olivia, Zion, Sarah, and Sarah F), officers (Nicole and Sophia), and the faculty advisor (Dr. Jackie Zalewski):

Community Service:

I have reached out to some local organizations to secure a monthly community service oppourtunity for us. Our service commitment would be once a month in Oct, Nov, Jan, Feb, Mar, and Apr with timing depending on organization need. If you have suggestions or input during this decision making process, please let us know! Stay tuned for more updates soon.
