Youth drama camps

MetaStages, a program of the School of Theatre, announces registration for nonresident summer drama camps to be held on the University Park campus.

Workshops are taught by professional faculty in acting, mime, movement, voice, improvisation and art. Each week culminates with a performance.

There are four, one-week camps: July 16-20, July 23-27, July 29 to Aug. 3 and Aug. 6-10. Enrollment is limited. The camps have separate groups for students ages 9-11 years and ages 12-18 years.

Monoprints exhibited

Monoprints by Philadelphia artist Hester Stinnett are on display through Sept. 15 in the Morrison Gallery of the Library at Penn State Harrisburg.

The title of the show is "Recent Works." Stinnett uses the Japanese suminagashi or "spilled ink" technique in her work, floating a thin layer of ink on the surface of a pool of water and then laying down a sheet of paper to record the fluid and unpredictable movement.

The artist's reception and gallery talk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, in the Morrison Gallery.

For information, call (717) 948-6273.

Country music makes a return

Country music's John Michael Montgomery, with opening group BlackHawk, will perform at The Bryce Jordan Center at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 29. Tickets are $35 and $25 for reserved, intimate, theatre-style seating.

During his career, Montgomery has scored 10 No. 1 singles, sold more than 14 million albums and won several national awards, including the Country Music Association (CMA) Horizon Award and the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Top New Male Vocalist awards, both 1994. His 1994 memorable wedding anthem, "I Swear," became one of the decade's most enduring love songs and was honored with a Grammy, a CMA and an ACM award for Song of the Year in 1994-95.

Newly signed to Columbia Records and working diligently on their first project for the label, BlackHawk members Henry Paul and Dave Robbins are facing their musical future with a renewed determination and vigor. The two musical partners have concentrated their recent energies on crafting the same type of progressive country tunes that propelled their career into the country music limelight.

Tickets are available at The Bryce Jordan Center, Eisenhower Auditorium, selected Uni-Mart ticket outlets, Commonwealth Campus ticket outlets, by phone at (800) 863-3336 or (814) 865-5555, or online at http://www.bjc.psu.edu/.
