Feb 13 "The Devil We Know" – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM “The Devil We Know” unravels one of the biggest environmental scandals of our time. A group of citizens in West Virginia take on DuPont after they discover it has knowingly been dumping a toxic chemical used in Teflon kitchenware – now found in the blood of 99.7% of Americans – into the air and public water supply. They file one of the largest class action lawsuits in the history of environmental law. As the residents of Parkersburg, WV rise up against the forces that polluted their town, the story builds out to dozens of other American cities. In fact, as many as 110 million Americans may be drinking water tainted with PFAS chemicals. Exposure to this class of chemicals has even become a global phenomenon, spreading to places like Italy, the Netherlands, and China. Parkersburg is ground zero for this story, but this clearly is not about one place or one chemical: because of the power of the chemical lobby, PFOA is one of more than 80,000+ untested chemicals that have been approved for use, their dangers unknown. Watch the official trailer here: https://vimeo.com/289498407. Presented as part of the monthly Environmental Film Series, which is made FREE to the public through the ongoing partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. The films are shown inside the Maritime Museum’s main gallery and are followed by a discussion. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • info@hdgmaritimemuseum.org • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Apr 08 "A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet" – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM “A Fierce Green Fire” is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement. Written, directed and produced by Academy Award-nominee Mark Kitchell (“Berkeley in the Sixties”), “A Fierce Green Fire” spans fifty years of grassroots and global environmental activism from the 1960s-2009, connecting the movement’s major causes, from conservation to climate change. Inspired by the book of the same name by environmental journalist and film interviewee Philip Shabecoff, and informed by advisors like conservation biologist E.O. Wilson, the film unfolds in five acts, each with a central story and character, featuring vivid archival footage and new interviews that shed light on the battle for a living planet. The first four acts of the film vividly tell the stories of people who fought – and succeeded – against enormous odds, and the fifth concludes with climate change. Some of these battles included the halting of dams in the Grand Canyon, battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal, Greenpeace saving the whales, and Chico Mendes and the rubbertappers saving the Amazon. “A Fierce Green Fire” explores the dire consequences of climate change, yet also speaks of transforming our civilization through environmental action. Narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Ashley Judd, Van Jones and Isabel Allende, the film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and has won worldwide acclaim. Watch the official trailer here: https://youtu.be/94zbq5Vaod0. Presented as part of the monthly Environmental Film Series, which is made FREE to the public through the ongoing partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All films are held inside the Maritime Museum’s main gallery, and are followed by a discussion. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • info@hdgmaritimemuseum.org • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Apr 17 Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

Harford Community College, Black Box Theater, Bel Air. 08:00 PM Presented by the HCC Actors Guild. Written by Alex Timbers; Music and Lyrics by Michael Friedman. Produced by Arrangement with Music Theatre International. An exhilarating and raucous look at one of our nation’s founding rock stars, reinventing the life of our seventh president. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards, all in the name of these United States — who cares if he didn’t have permission? Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson creators, Michael Friedman (Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Fortress of Solitude) and Alex Timbers (Love’s Labour’s Lost, Peter and the Starcatcher), cook up an alternate universe (and draw parallels to today’s political/populist landscape) with their musical about the seventh U.S. president. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson follows America’s seventh president from his early days as a child on the wild frontier to his controversial reign in the White House. With the country divided into rich and poor (and with continued skirmishes with the Native Americans upsetting pieces of the new world), Jackson begins his steady climb from military strategist to populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way, he meets his wife, Rachel, takes on the Founding Fathers — and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing, joking cohorts. It also asks the question: is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he’s really, really hot? With a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious rock score, this wildly entertaining 90-minute show is perfect for comedic actors and singers, with minimal dancing required. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an actor-driven, rather than design-dependent, musical; it encourages breaking the fourth wall, audience participation and rocking out!

May 09 Celebrating Women and the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage

Bel Air High School, 100 Heighe Street, Bel Air. 07:30 PM - 09:30 PM The SSO’s season finale will begin with Elgar’s famous “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4”! This isn’t the popular graduation tune, but it is a famous march, one of five Elgar wrote under the same title. The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth in Bonn, Germany. Do we need another reason to celebrate this ever-popular composer? We will begin the celebration with this concert by performing his Symphony No. 8 in F Major, and the anniversary remembrance will continue into next season. The SSO’s May concert’s second half is a bow to American women who finally attained the right to vote 100 years ago. This portion of the concert will begin with “Prayer” by Amanda Harberg, followed by Jennifer Hutt’s series of vignettes; Jen is a Bel Air native, that makes her living composing for French film and playing rock and blues violin. Next, the SSO will perform Florence Price’s wonderful “Dances in the Canebrakes”, as orchestrated by William Grant Still. Florence Price (1887-1953) was the first African-American female composer to have a major work performed by a professional symphony orchestra. The concert will conclude with an SSO favorite which is often performed at the orchestra’s outdoor concerts: Tracey Rush’s “Spirit of Freedom”. This work is a patriotic march in the best sense, with fun percussion and screaming brass. The May concert will also feature talented orchestra students from Harford County Public School’s Side-by-Side concert. • manager@ssorchestra.org • https://www.purplepass.com/?fbclid=IwAR2fbnRy644D4svgIn4MvqTybn00N-VcrxBFnTpaxuFv0YDmjrpRGysyUA4#190840/Susquehanna_Symphony_Orchestra_(SSO)-19th_Century_Leipzig-Bel_Air_High_School-October-19-2019.html.

May 13 "The Human Element" – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM We humans are a force of nature. At the same time as human activities alter the basic elements of life – earth, air, water, and fire – those elements change human life as well. During his four-decade career as an environmental photographer and explorer, James Balog has focused his lens on the complex relationship between humans and nature. Human activity has now surpassed all other forces shaping our world. Balog’s work has challenged us to contemplate our place in, and responsibility to, the natural world. “The Human Element” features subjects who are often overlooked victims of climate change. Balog visits Tangier Island, a fishing community facing the imminent reality of sea level rise threatening their future. We meet Yadira Sanchez and her three children in Denver, all of whom suffer from asthma, and attend a special school for children struggling with air. Balog embeds with a Cal Fire strike team on the frontlines of the most expensive wildfire in California history. And he ventures deep into Kentucky coal country, meeting unemployed miners finding hope from a new source. Balog argues that humans are part of the whole system of nature and not apart from it. Knowing this, he finds great hope that the fifth element, the human element, can bring the whole system back into balance. From the producers of “Racing Extinction,” “The Cove” and “Chasing Ice,” this new documentary captures the lives of everyday Americans on the front lines of climate change. With rare compassion and heart, “The Human Element” inspires us to reevaluate our relationship with the natural world. Watch the official trailer here: https://vimeo.com/324777810. Presented as part of the monthly Environmental Film Series, which is made FREE to the public through the ongoing partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum.
