Franklin: Always colorful, especially this weekend

The colors of spring will be on full display this weekend during the annual Franklin Gardeners Association May Garden Mart, or May Mart to the locals. The two day vendors market in Franklin’s Fountain Park brings visitors from miles around who want to get a jump start on their yard decorating plans.
​
This year, just down the street, the Victorian City Art & Frame shop is hoping to extend folks outdoor spring decorating thoughts inside with a colorful exhibition of the works of Ann Witherup Rudegeair, a local colorful abstract painter.

“Now, more than ever, we need color in our lives,” said Kyla Parkinson, Victorian City Art & Frame owner. “Color that inspires, color that evokes a mood and color that enlivens a town. This year's artist showcase (of Rudegeair’s paintings) aims to bridge visual gaps between traditional and modern Pennsylvania decor.”
​
Rudegeair’s work, which has been featured in the annual Nature Art Showcase in Franklin and in many other regional shows, features her 'wee art' on canvas and blocks, mid-size acrylic panels as well as some larger canvas prints and originals.

​The artist will be available to answer questions about her work at a reception from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 2 at 1273 Liberty Street, a short walk from the park.

The adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express features some of the Barrow-Civic Theatre's heavy hitters and the return of a Meadville theatre icon to the stage.

Much of the same crew from Rumours last year return. Jodi Hoover plays the mid-west American Helen Hubbard while Gary Collins dons a wig and straightens his mustache to play Monsieur Bouc while the part of Inspector Poirot is played by Rob Dahlman.

Tracy Brown, Jane Tracy and Ashlynne Cornmesser along with Evan O'Polka and Glenn Jones round out the usual Barrow cast that are there to the end.

Nicholas Hess and Stephen Teig get to show off their live action and quieter acting skills in this whodunnit.

A former staple of the Meadville stages, Cathy Gorman returns to stage to play Princess Dragomiroff.  She hasn't been on stage since before COVID.
T​his is also the first time she and her son Michael Gorman will share the stage. He will play Colonel Arbuthnot. 

The show open at 7:30 p.m. Friday and will have three more evening performances at 7:30 p.m. on April 18, 24 and 25 as well as two matinees at 2 p.m. on April 19 and 26. 

Tickets can be purchase at barrowtheatre.org or at the window.
