Our daughter's getting tired of having her twin mattress on the floor. I'd be happy to take your twin box spring and frame off your hands (and the mattress, too, if that's a deal breaker). I'm also looking for a tall stool for my basement work bench. Thanks so much! Stephanie

[Highland Park] THIS WEEK: "GIFT TO AMERICA" performs
by Geoffrey Hitch 04 May '11

04 May '11

Dear Highland Parkers, This week "GIFT TO AMERICA" will perform at Millvale's St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church, celebrating Pittsburgh's art treasure housed there. "GIFT TO AMERICA" is a one-hour dramatic interpretation of the genesis and creation of the emotionally evocative "Millvale Murals" by Croatian artist Maxo Vanka. When asked in 1937 by Father Albert Zagar to create a series of paintings for the walls of St. Nicholas Church, Vanka, a recent emigre deeply grateful to his adopted homeland, transformed the work into his own highly personal "Gift To America" -- a heart-stopping visual testament to faith, people and country. The performance dialogue, written by Dr. David Demarest was originally staged in 1981 and again to sold-out audiences in 2008. The production is directed by Geoffrey Hitch of Highland Park. WHEN & WHERE: General Admission Wednesday, May 4th at 8:00pm Friday, May 6th at 8:00pm Saturday, May 7th at 8:30pm $20 per ticket Benefit Performance Thursday, May 5th - Cocktail Reception 6:30pm - Program & Performance 8:00pm - Dessert Reception 9:00pm $75 per ticket St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church 24 Maryland Avenue, Millvale, PA 15209 (just off Route 28, near the 40th Street Bridge) For more information or to request an invitation to the benefit performance, vankamurals(a)aol.com or by phone: 412-681-0905 Tickets for all performances are available at www.proartstickets.org or by calling 412-394-3353. Please Note: Refreshments and gift items will be available in the St. Nicholas Church Hall one hour before the performance on General Admission evenings. Seating begins 30 minutes prior to performance. There is no reserved seating. For directions, visit www.vankamurals.org. All proceeds benefit the Campaign to Preserve the Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka. The goal of the campaign is to clean, restore, light and raise awareness about the murals for the benefit of future generations. Thanks, Geoffrey
