After over a year of planning, obsessing, and falling in love with these songs and this group even more than I already thought possible, I'm proud to officially present...the StarKid 15th Anniversary Revue, performed April 12th-13th at Vassar College!

Maria Mitchell In Her Own Words

1873. Feb.  I found in Indianapolis a gushing hospitality which was very pleasant to receive if you did not accept all its offers.  I was asked to spend a week in several different families.  Then I found an interest in science and was amazed to find that they readily paid me $100 and asked me for another Lecture at the same price.

Maria would travel to Indianapolis, making what was likely a long and cold journey by train.  She took one of her Vassar College students, Helen Marshall.  While there, Maria would be able to visit with her brother, Francis and his wife, Ellen, who came from Chicago to spend a few days with her.  Not as much is known about Frank as he was called.  We have one image of him in the collection – likely from a fair given the background – or cutout – he is mugging for the camera in.  Given the distance, I am sure many of the siblings did not see Frank as he lived the furthest from everyone.  He may have been the connection for Maria to meet and become the chaperone for a young Prudence Swift whom Maria would travel with throughout the southern United States and for a time, in Europe, until Prudie, as she was known, was called home and Maria continued on in Europe.  Prudie’s family lived in Chicago.

This is a very heartwarming story!

I'm not involved in politics and I don't remember the exact date of my first visit to Cortes Island. I visited Cortes because someone on another BC island suggested it would be a better film location. - Hubert Hugh Burke

I'm directing Urinetown at Vassar College and had a really stressful tech rehearsal last night so it's time for my regular rewatch of Joey's Parade story at 19:11 in this video to remind myself that things could always be worse

Tom, holding a scalpel: did you think it was a metaphor, Greg? Did you think this was freshman English at Vassar?

In Memoriam - Anne Parks Strain

Anne Strain was a longtime member of the Maria Mitchell Association’s Honorary Board and served on the MMA’s Board of Directors for many years.  Anne passed away on January 15, 2024.  An avid birder and a garden and plant enthusiast, Anne was a quiet and lovely woman who brought her long knowledge of Nantucket to the MMA.  Nantucket was a part of her life from a young age and in later life she owned a wonderful house that overlooked Prospect Hill cemetery called “High Spirits.”  While I did not know Anne well, we shared a commonality besides gardening, birding and our love of the MMA and Nantucket, we are both women’s college graduates – Anne having graduated from Vassar College and myself, from Mount Holyoke College.  During a small event for the MMA, I spent much of it on the deck on a bench speaking with her and I enjoyed getting to know her better and watching the events unfold from our perch in the shade.  It was in that conversation that we had that it became less of a board member and staff member and more of a sister of a shared experience.  Even if different schools, we shared a similar college “upbringing” having attended women’s colleges – and each one us at one of the Seven Sisters. 

What I did not know about Anne was her accomplishment as a fly fisherwoman – but I could see that – she had a quiet patience about her.  I am sure she was a tremendous fly fisherwoman – just wish I had the chance to learn from her!

There is no affirmative action theme in 'A Very Canadian Film', because these issues in Canada, though similar, are significantly different. That said, however, if you want to discuss the American affirmative action debate with me you at least have to know as much about it as my friend Luke C. Harris! :-)
