NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College announces several planetarium shows for the Spring 2014 season. All shows are free and open to the public. Reservations are required due to limited seating.
The International Film Festival continues at Westminster College with Richard III Tuesday, April 20, at 7 p.m. in the McKelvey Center Theater.
This 1912 silent film with a score by Marconi, was only the second feature film made in the United States and was recently discovered in a private collection in mint condition.
"I wrangled this copy from the American Film Institute," said Dr. Deborah Mitchell, assistant professor of English and public relations and coordinator of the series. "This is an excellent adaptation of Shakespeare's play, and stars the great Frederick Warde as Richard, Duke of Gloucester."
The event, which is part of a six-part series, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Mitchell at (724) 946-7030 or e-mail dmitchel@westminster.edu.

"Sounds of Oxford"
While studying in Oxford, Westminster College students have experienced a variety of live music. One such opportunity takes place every other Wednesday night at a pub named The Cellar. On Wednesday nights, musicians from many different backgrounds have an opportunity to play in front of a student-based crowd. Although it is an open mic night, artists do not have the mic to themselves. In fact many of the artists performing on stage were previously just members of the audience who were compelled to participate in the "jam session."
When asked about these jam session nights, Jennie Wheeler, a senior English major from Port Allegany, claims "The jam sessions are an awesome opportunity to witness artists of all different ages and backgrounds get to gather on stage and make one piece of beautiful music. Just last week, I listened to a 50-something man playing the Jazz saxophone accompanying a 20-something free style rapper from Jamaica. It was brilliant!"
The excitement for these nights seems to be growing with the Westminster students, especially those who attend the Philosophy Club meetings that take place shortly before the Cellar's line up begins.
Another student, junior business major from Kenmore, N.Y. James Sharcot, said, "I truly look forward to Wednesday nights as it provides me with an opportunity to not only discuss philosophy with my peers and professors, but also to enjoy live jam music and an opportunity to express myself on stage."
The Westminster students look forward to some more entertaining Wednesday nights at The Cellar before returning to New Wilmington for the spring semester.
