Benedum Center
STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments --matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps¬ -- to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, including the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.

News from Dan Onorato’s Office, Allegheny County Executive
President Obama has chosen Pittsburgh to host the upcoming G-20 Economic Summit, citing our region’s leadership in creating next-generation jobs and promoting green technology. This international event will not only showcase our economic transformation on the world stage, but the summit itself will provide an additional economic boon for the region.
Make no mistake, families in Southwest Pennsylvania are certainly not immune to the pain caused by this national recession. Folks here are hurting just the same. But we’re not sitting back and shaking our heads – we’re taking action.
We’re transforming our region into a hub for 21st Century jobs – by retraining our workers, investing in new technologies and promoting new energy solutions. And the nation is taking notice. Last month, the New York Times wrote a feature story on our growing green economy. And several months before that, Time Magazine called our region the “one economic bright spot on Main Street.”
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but there is still critical work to be done to make Pennsylvania a leader in the new economy.

Works by Lee Renninger
707 Penn
June 5-July 18, 2009
Tuesday-Friday 12:00-8:00pm
Saturday: 12:00-6:00pm
Lee Renninger's work has evolved from a fascination with repeated patterns and multiple units. Using ceramic as her primary material, she seeks to challenge some of the long-standing beliefs associated with the use of clay--that it is a material confined to the realm of utility or conventional, sculptural forms. Renninger chooses to treat it antithetically, using the material in ways that defy its history and fundamental nature.
Exhibition preview on JUNE 4, 4:30pm-8:00pm!
Cake, Couture and Chardonnay
Preview the exhibition, meet the artist, enjoy sweets and a trunk show featuring 2 designers, Earth & Alchemy Jewelry & Susan Farber Handbags.
