Fine photos

An exhibition by members of the Westmoreland Photographers Society will open with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Latrobe Art Center, 819 Ligonier St. It will run through April 28.

The show will feature about 60 images from amateur and professional photographers, including fine art images, scenic landscapes, nature, street photography, landmarks and more. Many of the works will be for sale.

For information, call 724-537-7011 or visit latrobeartcenter.org.

Morality and meaning

Seton Hill University Theatre and Dance Program will present “Everybody,” a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama finalist, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the university’s Performing Arts Center, 100 Harrison Ave., Greensburg.

An ensemble of allegorical characters explores the meaning of life and death in the play by Branden Jacobs Jenkins, a somewhat irreverent adaptation of the 15th-century morality play “Everyman.”

Audience members are advised the production includes strong language and the use of theatrical haze and lighting effects.

Tickets are $15. For information and reservations, call 724-552-2929 or visit setonhill.edu/events.

Rock options

For those about to rock, there are three concert options this weekend at The Lamp Theatre, 222 Main St., Irwin:

• Soul Shine: An Allman Brothers Experience, 8 p.m. Friday.

• Best Friends Girl: A Tribute to The Cars, 8 p.m. Saturday.

• Home Again: A Tribute to Carol King, 3 p.m. Sunday.

A ticket for each show is $30. To reserve, call 724-367-4000 or visit lamptheatre.org.

It’s egg-citing

Children of all ages can hunt for Easter eggs on the lawn of the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley, beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Successful hunters will be able to exchange their eggs for a wide variety of toys and treats. The museum also will offer hands-on art activities children can do on-site or take home to enjoy.

The museum is at Route 711 and Boucher Lane, just south of Ligonier Borough. To reserve for the hunt, call 724-238-6015 or visit sama-art.org.

Passion play

Word of Life Church will present “The Passion” at 7 p.m. nightly, beginning Sunday and running through April 7, at its campus at 4497 Route 136, Hempfield.

The multimedia musical production begins with the early life of Jesus, portrays his death on the cross and concludes with his resurrection. It features a cast of about 100, mostly church members.

Doors open each night at 6 p.m., with a choir prelude beginning at 6:20 p.m.

Tickets are free but must be reserved in advance. Seating is first-come, first-served.

For information and reservations, call 724-837-8790 or visit wordoflife.church.
