As part of its contribution to the celebrations surrounding Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary, the Frick Art & Historical Center presents the second of two exhibitions planned for 2008 examining the various ways the city has been depicted on paper by artists from the nineteenth century through the present. The exhibition A Panorama of Pittsburgh: Nineteenth-Century Printed Views and accompanying catalogue will provide an in-depth consideration of the history of printed views of Pittsburgh and printmaking in the city, leading to a better understanding of the story of the region as well as of the use of prints of cityscapes during the period. There have been no previous exhibitions that have studied this material systematically, using examples from private, public, corporate, and club collections in Pittsburgh, as well as institutions around the country. The accompanying catalogue will include an essay by guest curator, Christopher W. Lane and an extensive and scholarly catalogue listing of printed views of Pittsburgh. Guest curator Christopher W. Lane is an expert on antique prints, maps and books. He has written Impressions of Niagara, documenting the Charles Rand Penney Collection of over 700 printed images of  Niagara Falls, curated an exhibition of the Penney Collection at the Castellani Art Gallery, and assisted in assembling an international touring exhibition drawn from that collection. Lane is also known for his basic guides to map and print collecting, including What Is A Print? and A Guide to Collecting Historical Prints, and appears regularly as the print and map expert on The Antiques Roadshow. This exhibition is organized by the Frick Art & Historical Center.

One of the most uproariously funny stage musicals in recent years, "Urinetown" is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom. July 17-20 and 24-27, 2008 Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - All shows 8 PM Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall Visit www.stage62.com for directions and more information. Reservations not required; tickets, $15, available at door. Although not required, you may call ahead and reserve seats by leaving a message at (412)429-6262.

Before it was known for steel, Pittsburgh was America's Glass City. Pittsburgh-produced glass has been used in fine tableware for five U.S. presidents, as tiles for the walls of New York City's great tunnels, and in searchlights at the Panama Canal.

Glass: Shattering Notions showcases the beauty, science, utility and technology of Western Pennsylvania glass over the past 200 years. Interactive activities demonstrate what chemicals are used to create glass in various colors, how glass can "bend" light to make objects appear smaller or larger, and much more.
