A Waltz in the Woods, an original, site-specific stick sculpture, constructed by Patrick Dougherty, is on display at the Morris Arboretum. A Waltz in the Woods was created from willow saplings, which were brought in from a willow nursery in Fredonia, New York. The sculpture is temporary. It will last one to two years depending on the severity of the weather. See Exhibits.

The 2015 Philadelphia International Children’s Festi-val will take place from May 7 to 9. (clockwise from the left) Lifeboat, two teenage girls board a ship to escape the dangers of World War II; Pilobolus Dance Theater, physically daring move-ment and elaborately imaginative concepts; and Playing By Air, traditional theatricality meets absurd comedy in this joyful fusion of music, juggling and circus. See Children’s Activities.
