Directed by Guy Stroman A wonderfully human comedy about a family growing up over a tavern in 1959 working class America. Centered around 12-year-old Rudy Paziniski, a smart, wise-cracking kid who is beginning to question the Roman Catholic values he's being taught at his confirmation class ("I read there are over 1,300 religions in the world. I'd like to shop around"), Rudy sets out to discover that if God put people on the earth to have fun - as he believes - why is it that his family isn't having any? A sure winner for anyone who grew up in the idealized years of Eisenhower's America - or whose parents did - this touchingly human comedy will keep you laughing right along with Rudy as he struggles to find the answers to life.

A new exhibit, Harmony in Wood: the Furniture of the Harmony Society. The exhibit will be open during regular site hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and Sundays from noon to 5 PM until December 31, 2009. Admission to the site, includes the exhibit. The exhibit was funded, in part, by a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. The exhibit complements a soon to be published book of the same title, written by Dr. Zimmerman, that examines Harmonist furniture and the Society that produced it. "Harmonist furniture is unsurpassed in the way it connects us to this community and the past in general,” said Dr. Zimmerman. “The variety of furniture forms that survive, their design and their materials express Harmony Society values and evoke many dimensions of its early life and culture." Funding for the research and publication of the furniture book was provided by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation, the Heinz Endowments, the Gookin Family Foundation, and the Julia Lea Hillman-Simonds Foundation. Old Economy Village, which sits within Ambridge’s National Historic Landmark District, was the third and final home of the German, communal Harmony Society. The community, of which eighty original buildings remain, was begun in 1824 and served as the Society’s home until 1905. Group founder, George Rapp, arrived in America in 1803 and shortly thereafter settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania where he began the first community called Harmony. In 1814, the Society moved to Indiana Territory and there built a town now known as New Harmony, Indiana, which was later sold to British social reformer Robert Owen. Rapp and his followers returned to Pennsylvania ten years later to settle along the Ohio River. Today, Old Economy Village maintains seventeen original structures, formal and vegetable gardens, and the Society’s cemetery. “The Harmony Society was communal, like the Shakers,” said Old Economy Village site director Mary Ann Landis, “but its furniture was quite different. The Harmonists were from Württemberg so logically that background was reflected in what they spoke, wore, ate, and the things they made. That’s not to say that American culture didn’t eventually have an impact on the Society, or the way they did business.” The Village is unique in that much of the furniture that remains was either made by Society members or purchased by them. “Their original cabinet shop still survives intact on the site,” said site, and exhibit, curator Sarah Buffington. “It’s furnished with its original tools, many of which were made in one of the three Harmonist communities. This, along with the Society’s extensive business records, allows us to gain some insights into one avenue of early western Pennsylvania furniture making.” Old Economy Village is eighteen miles north of Pittsburgh on Route 65. The Visitor Center, where the exhibit is housed, is located at 270 Sixteenth Street, Ambridge, with free parking. For more information on the Village, visit www.oldeconomyvillage.org.

Works on Paper Gallery Most photographs are of people—this has been true since the invention of photography. The desire to depict a person in a photographic image has never diminished, but the process used to create that image has continually changed. This exhibition of more than 70 works from the permanent collection and local private collections reveals how photographers from the past 160 years have explored the human subject, through an exceptional range of practices: from daguerreotypes, to black-and-white silver gelatin prints and color chromogenic prints, to digital inkjet prints. Included are rarely exhibited gems by masters of the medium—such as Julia Margaret Cameron, August Sander, Alfred Stieglitz, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand—alongside the work of little-known photographers. General support for the museum’s exhibition program is provided by The Heinz Endowments, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Allegheny Regional Asset District.
