Show description: Mira, a biracial Korean American violinist, and her boyfriend Beckett reconnect with her estranged grandfather and delve into the joys and pains of the past. In the mountains of North Carolina, they discover the ability to bridge divides and heal wounds through the power of music. Set against a backdrop of authentic “old-time” and bluegrass melodies, this heartwarming tale combines endearing characters and traditional instruments in a harmonious exploration of heritage and human connection.

Members of the Sociology Club attended The Porch on Windy Hill at People's Light Theatre in Malvern, PA. Set in the mountains of North Carolina, the play featured incredible folk music. The story followed Mira, a biracial Korean American violinist, and her boyfriend Beckett as they reconnected with her estranged grandfather. Through exploring the joys and pains of the past, they discover the ability to bridge divides and heal wounds through the power of music. The show displayed themes of heritage, race, family, and sociology.

November Event: Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA!

Members of the Sociology Club visited the Philadelphia Art Museum on November 16. They first toured the special exhibit “The Time is Always Now: Arts Reframe the Black Figure.” Then, they enjoyed displays of American Art, East Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and European Art plus lunch in the Art Museum cafeteria. It was a full day!
