Wilmington, DE – January 10, 2014 –Back by popular demand, STOMP, the international percussion sensation, is coming to Wilmington, Delaware at the DuPont Theatre for four (4) performances only from February 21-23, 2014. From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 20 years, having performed in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 24 million people.
Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP continues its phenomenal run with four global productions: the ongoing sell-out production at New York's Orpheum Theatre, a permanent London company, and North American and European tours. Throughout its life, the show has continued to change by creating new material; this year, it will incorporate two new pieces. It is safe to say you will never again look at supermarket carts or plumbing fixtures the same way… or paint cans, or kitchen sinks or…
STOMP, an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, and sell-out engagements, is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London's Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.
In addition to the stage shows, STOMP has been an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, an Academy Award nomination, four Emmy nominations and one Emmy Award for their acclaimed HBO special Stomp Out Loud, noteworthy TV appearances including The London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, The Academy Awards (produced by Quincy Jones), Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and a series of award-winning international commercials.
The performers “make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound,” says co-founder/director Luke Cresswell. A unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy, STOMP has created its own inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists. It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.
Synchronized stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra, eight Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments - dustbins, tea chests, radiator hoses, boots, hub caps - to fill the stage with a compelling and unique act that is often imitated but never duplicated.
Critics and audiences have raved: “STOMP is as crisp and exuberant as if it had opened yesterday,” says The New York Times. The San Francisco Chronicle declares “STOMP has a beat that just won’t quit!” The Los Angeles Times exclaims: “Electrifying! Triumphs in the infinite variety of the human experience.” “A phenomenal show! Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking – a joyous invention!” says the Chicago Tribune.
Performances are Friday and Saturday evening performances start at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 pm. Ticket prices start at $35. To purchase tickets or for more information about group rates, call the DuPont Theatre Box Office at 302-656-4401 or 800-338-0881 or on the internet, DuPont Theatre site: www.duponttheatre.com.
A $48 prix fixe menu will be available before all performances and the Lobby Lounge will be open throughout the weekend. For information on dining before or after performances at the DuPont Theatre, please call the Hotel du Pont at 302-594-3154 or 800-338-3404.

TYLER ARBORETUM “STACKS” UP THE FUN WITH PANCAKES AND MAPLE SYRUP
Annual Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration to be held February 22
Bundle up and enjoy this annual celebration of the maple tree’s sweet offerings by attending Tyler Arboretum’s annual Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 22.
Visitors are invited to join one of the ongoing tours at Tyler to discover how sap is turned into syrup, and then take a turn tapping a tree. After, appetites are satisfied in the historic Barn with Tyler’s famous all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast. Hot coffee and cocoa accompany this delicious wintertime feast.
“What makes our event unique is that attendees get an opportunity to tap a maple tree first-hand and learn how maple syrup is made,” said Executive Director Rick Colbert. “It’s just another way for Tyler to demonstrate how dependent people are on nature for even the smallest of conveniences—and this learning opportunity happens to come with a hot and delicious breakfast!”
No pre-registration is required for this event. Adults $12, children (ages 3-12) $6, and children under age three are free. All proceeds benefit Tyler Arboretum. Because this is a fundraiser, no free passes are allowed for this event. The snow date for the Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration is March 1, 2014.

Landscape for Life™
Develop an environmentally-friendly landscape plan for your yard
Date: Wednesday evenings, March 5 to April 9
Time: 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Cost: $100
Instructors: Eileen Boyle & Margaret Shillingford, Mt. Cuba Center
This educational six-week series instructs homeowners on how to create and maintain healthy and beautiful landscapes by working with nature. The good news is that even one home garden can begin to repair the web of life. It is possible to create a great–looking garden that’s healthier for you, your family, pets, and the environment - and that saves you time and money.
Based on the principles of the Sustainable Sites Initiative, these classes explore the role of soils, water, vegetation, and materials in a sustainable landscape. Be prepared to take the basic measurements of your suburban lot or bring your site plan to the first session. These measurements and plans will be used in an exercise applying these principles to your own landscape.
The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) is an interdisciplinary effort by the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and the United States Botanic Garden to create voluntary national guidelines and performance benchmarks for sustainable land design, construction, and maintenance practices (similar to LEED certification in buildings). This class adds Mt. Cuba Center’s perspective to the Landscape for Life series helping you to cultivate the best landscape practices for the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Eileen Boyle is the director of education and research at Mt. Cuba Center. Previously she was the director of horticulture at the Philadelphia Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden. She has also worked as a horticulture professor, an administrator for the New York City’s parks, and for the USDA.
Margaret Shillingford is the education coordinator at Mt. Cuba Center. During her 20 plus year career in agricultural research, Margaret was also a docent at Mt. Cuba Center and pursued a Masters in Education.
Chester County Planning Commission to host
Public Transportation Plan Public Meeting (Rescheduled)
The Chester County Planning Commission (CCPC) in partnership with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is developing a county-wide Public Transportation Plan to guide transit operations and capital improvements in Chester County.
Chester County residents, transit users, project stakeholders, and the public are encouraged to attend a Public Meeting to be held at the Chester County Library and District Center in Exton (adjacent to the Exton Mall) on Wednesday March 5th, 2014 from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. This meeting was originally to be held on February 5th, however was postponed due to the weather.
Attendees will have the opportunity to offer their input towards desired improvements of public transit services in Chester County. Participants will be informed regarding the overall plan progress, analysis findings, potential performance measures, and DRAFT recommendations, as well as the results of the 2013 Public Workshop held in April 2013 at the Chester County Historical Society. The meeting will be an open house format with a formal presentation starting at 7:00 PM.
DVRPC’s Office of Transit, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Planning staff facilitated the first phase of the project, which entailed data collection, issue identification, and preliminary corridor prioritization. This work began late in 2012 and continued through the summer of 2013. The second phase of this plan – led by CCPC staff— is to develop goals and policies, define future transit corridors, and guide capital improvements throughout Chester County.
The Public Transportation Plan is targeted for completion in the summer of 2014. The County will then begin the process of adopting the plan as an element to Landscapes2, Chester County’s Comprehensive Plan. The adoption process is anticipated to be completed by the Fall of 2014.
The Public Transportation Plan Public Meeting will be held Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at the transit-accessible Chester County Library and District Center located at 450 Exton Square Parkway, Exton, PA 19341 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm.
