This exhibition will showcase Weiwei Lo’s recent painting series, “Children of Lesotho” and “Children of War”. Both projects consist of small watercolor portraits of disadvantaged children. The former is based on the artist's sketches and photographs made in person while teaching children in the African nation of Lesotho in 2024. The image sources for the latter project are recent war victims found in news and magazines on the internet. The purpose is not only to evoke our childhood memories but also to remind us that the innocence of children is slowly destroyed by the cruelty of the world’s chaos.

Weiwei Lo is a Chinese American painter who studies and lives in Jersey City. Her present interest is figurative realist painting. She will receive her MFA from New Jersey City University in 2025. During her long career, Weiwei has worked as a mathematics teacher, computer programmer, and information systems analyst. She has also accumulated rich experiences in Chinese calligraphy and painting before her exposer to Western art. In recent years, she has focused on the series "Children of Lesotho" and “Children of War”, which are small watercolor portrait paintings of disadvantaged children. Weiwei hopes that she will continue a productive artistic life.

This panel will present different approaches, both personal and critical, to remembering and reframing the historical significance of two labor tragedies that occurred over a century ago.

General Admission: $25 | Students/Seniors: $15

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel.

The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in 15th century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.

A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical.
