The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.
Trad is the hilarious and poignant Irish play about a son, 100-year-old Thomas, and his even older Da, who set off on a quest to find the son that Thomas thinks he fathered 70 years ago. After all that time on earth, they want to know if the family line will survive. An award-winning comedy by Mark Doherty that keeps you laughing all the way to an unexpected finale.

Each of us has a story, our own personal history and collection of experiences that make us who we are. Storytelling is a natural part of collective learning. Around kitchen tables, at cookouts and family gatherings, after church, people gather and tell stories of wisdom of generations. Retelling of personal history— the mundane and the profound— is our path to liberation.
