Letter from the President
We are very excited to offer a spectacular season of courses, new, old and continuing. Allow yourself to make a commitment to em-brace
our philosophy that “learning never ends.” It is not just an advertising slogan; it is a way of life! Look at the hundreds of
courses waiting to tempt you. In our brochure and on our website, explore the treasures we have collected to challenge, edify, and
entertain. If you have always wanted to: play the piano, speak French (or even Arabic or Chinese), make better photos, cook
a terrific meal, listen to topical lectures, or command your personal finances we have the resources for you. As our 76th year rolls
out we are offering numerous NEW options which are clearly marked in the brochure and the website. Among the new ones are
Social Poker, Introduction to Opera, and World War One: One Hundred Years Later.
If you don’t see something that you are particularly craving, let us know. Perhaps we can satisfy that appetite too. If you have a
talent or interest you would like to share with others through our program, let us know on our website
(www.princetonadultschool.org). Under “Who We Are” there is a tab to offer to teach for us.
Finally, a loud, heart-felt thank you to everyone who helped make our 75th year celebration a tremendous success — the patrons,
the businesses community, our collaborating partners, the schools and government in Princeton. We exceeded our goals in all
areas, as well as received numerous accolades for our program and work through the years. We feel the community appreciates
what we provide, and it heartens us to move forward. Please feel free to let us know how we are doing.
As the recently elected President of the Princeton Adult School, I thank my immediate predecessor, Mark Branon, as well as those
before him whose leadership has made the School the valuable community asset that it is. Also tremendous gratitude goes to the
members of the board of trustees, our teachers, and the three dedicated staff members who magically make the whole thing
happen, semester after semester and year after year.
Remember, the road to lifelong learning is like the road to Ithaca, “full of adventure, full of knowledge.”* Join us on this “beautiful
journey.”*

FOLLOW THE MONEY
(see note for location)
Tues., 8:00 pm, Oct. 14, 8 sessions $125
When we offered a series of lectures on economics and
public policy nine years ago, we were overwhelmed by
the response of a standing room only audience. Since
that time, questions involving the economy have
become even more relevant and central to our lives,
dominating the news both here and abroad. We have
invited eight experts to address some of the important
issues we face, and to help us better understand the
implications of policy decisions in critical areas. If we did
not know before, the turmoil of the last several years
has made all of us keenly aware of the impact that
economic policy has on our lives.
These lectures are co-sponsored by the Princeton Adult
School and the Community Auditing Program of
Princeton University’s Office of Community and
Regional Affairs.
NOTE: Lectures will be held in the Friend Center Audito-rium,
William and Olden Streets. Park in lot # 10 or 10A be-tween
Olden Street and Washington Road. You will receive
a course ticket for the entire series at check-in at the first
lecture you attend. No prior confirmation will be sent.

HOW TO ANALYZE A FILM
Ann Casano, adjunct professor of cinema studies and
screenwriter Tues., 6:30–9:30 pm, Nov 4, 6 sessions
$119 In this class, we will learn the critical tools used to analyze film, how films
work, and determine how the cinema defines our society. We will also explore
one of the cinema’s most debated questions: is film art? The ultimate goal of this
course is to look at the various technical, stylistic and narrative options available
to a filmmaker and the choices that he or she made in putting the film together.
We will concentrate on developing critical and analytic skills and will decon-struct
film as active audience participants instead of as passive spectators. You
will screen six of the greatest American films ever made and discuss those films
at length. Please visit www.princetonadultschool.org for a complete listing of
films.

Union. It covers the main reasons behind its formation, paths of development,
modes of institutionalization, and operational workings as well as its current
debates and challenges.

INTRO TO THE SACRED ART OF ICONOGRAPHY
$59
Maureen McCormick, Iconographer-in-Residence at
Trinity Church, Princeton
Tues., 7:30–9:15 pm, Oct. 7, 3 sessions
This lecture course will introduce students to the development, history, and theol-ogy
of iconography, which, in the context of Christian art, refers to depictions of
Jesus, his mother Mary, angels, and the saints. Each class will include a lecture,
along with a demonstration of some of the steps involved in the “writing” of an
icon: gilding, preparation of egg tempera, mixing of pigments, and oiling a
finished work. This sacred art, which flourished first in the Byzantine Empire,
and subsequently in medieval Russia, is in the midst of a renaissance worldwide.

WORLD WAR I: ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER
This course will look back over the past 100 years and explore the origins of World
War I. As historian Margaret McMillan states in her book, The War That Ended
Peace, “World War I still haunts us.” In retrospect, could the war have been
averted? Are there any parallels today to the global tensions, national rivalries, mili-tarism,
revolutionary fervor, and false sense of security that existed in 1914? What
lessons can this centenary year of World War I teach us about the uses and abuses
of power, the art of diplomacy, and global responsibility?

MODERN GREEK CINEMA
Judith Zinis, professor of film studies
Thurs., 7:00–9:00 pm, Oct. 2, 6 sessions
$119
Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of the novel, Zorba the Greek
wrote, “I struggle to distinguish the two great currents which
constitute the double-born soul of Greece,” that is, the nexus of
east and west found in the Greek character. This course will in-troduce
students to Modern Greek cinema within such a histori-cal
and cultural framework. By the end of the course, you will
better understand what it means to be Greek, even in these
troubled times. As Zorba says in the novel, “Happy is the man,
I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the
Aegean Sea.” We will see, analyze, discuss and “sail” through
five Greek films including Zorba the Greek, Rembetiko,
Landscape in The Mist, A Touch of Spice, and Attenberg. The
films will be introduced by placing them within the context of
modern Greece. An analysis and lively discussion will follow
the viewing of each film.o

thread will weave through all five sessions: What is the role for the U.S. in Asia
now?

This course is a survey covering approximately 100 years of American entertain-ment
history (1850– 1950) in a lecture/demonstration format. The class begins with
the great entertainment schism of 1849 and proceeds through the development of
Blackface minstrelsy and its subsequent stepchildren: popular melodrama, vaude-ville,
burlesque, and the great Broadway revues of the 1920s. We will take a look at
the medicine show, rodeo, carnival and circus, and variety entertainments, as well
as the development of the Broadway musical. If time allows, it will end in a brief

revolutionary departure from representational painting and how that
moved the center of the art world from Paris to New York. Pop Art changed the
way we look at art. Many new movements followed: minimal art, earth art, concep-tual
art and graffiti. Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Christo, and Jean-
Michel Basquiat and others will be discussed. Some were personal friends of the

ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
Elena Livingstone-Ross, teacher of art history and
European history
$119
This is an illustrated trip to the ancient world, where Achilles fought Hector, Them-istocles
saved Greece by drowning the Persians in the Straights of Salamis, Socra-tes
drank hemlock and gave David an opportunity to paint him doing it a couple of
millennia later, and Diogenes of Sinope despised them all. It is also the world in
which Rome rose and fell, but not before Caesar’s death manifested the death of
the Republic, and Augustus’s life inaugurated the birth of the Empire, which was
destined to rule over seventy million people, from Britain to the Arabian Desert,
and from the Danube to the sands of the Sahara. It is a world that created
civilization as we know it and, without which, our world would never be possible.

THEATRE IN 3-D
(see note for location) (includes one script*)
Paula T. Alekson, Artistic Engagement Manager at
McCarter Theater
Discussions: 7:30–9:00 pm, Wed., September 17, 23 (note this
is a Tuesday), Oct. 8, 15, 22, November 5, 19, 7 sessions
Performances: Wed., October 1, Antony and Cleopatra, Thurs-day,
October 16, The Understudy, Wed., November 12, to be
announced
$125
Meaning in all written work is shaped by both the author’s intention and what
the reader brings to the text. Plays are unique in offering a third dimension of
meaning: that created by the director, actors, and designers. This course will
focus on the two plays offered this fall at McCarter Theatre, as well as one from
a past season. We will discuss each play and its meaning before each
performance; see the play as a group, if you wish; and then explore what has
been revealed by the production.
The plays to be included are: Antony and Cleopatra, one of Shakespeare’s great
masterpieces, full of romance, passion, and betrayal. It is an intimate tale of two
legendary lovers whose desires shaped the destiny of the world. The Under-study,
which Pulitzer Prize-finalist Theresa Rebeck has penned as an hysterical
backstage battle royale, is the understudy rehearsal for a hit new Broadway play,
where backstage friction takes center stage in a biting comedy about art, celeb-rity,
and the things we do for the business we love. For more information about
these plays see McCarter’s web page at www.mccarter.org. A third play—either
previously mounted at McCarter or adapted into a feature film — will be se-lected
by the instructor for study, screening, and discussion to round out the se-mester.
TICKETS AND TEXTS: *On the first night of the class, a copy of the first
play to be studied and discussed will be handed out. Students should purchase
the second text, Theresa Rebeck’s The Understudy (Dramatist Play Service,
2010) ISBN-13: 978-0822224532. Information about how to purchase the text
of the third play will be provided by the instructor. In addition, the students will
purchase discounted tickets for Anthony and Cleopatra and The Understudy
during the first class. These tickets will be priced at $35 per play. (Each student
may purchase one additional ticket for the same performances at the same
price.) Students who already have reserved tickets for these plays may exchange
them if they wish. There will be no additional charge for the viewing/screening
of the third play.
NOTE: This class will meet in the President’s Lounge Board Room
on the lower level of McCarter’s Matthews Theater. It is accessed
through the 91 University Place Administrative Services entrance.

with family estrangement, illness and death.” Over the course of two
evenings, Professor Michael Wood, the Charles Barnwell Straut Class
of 1923 Emeritus Professor of English and Comparative Literature at
Princeton University, will explore the central themes of Roth’s book,
bringing his own perspective and rich experience to the class
discussion. On the second evening, Philip Roth and Ed Dusinberre,
the first violinist of the Takács String Quartet will join the discussion
via Skype. Class participants are then invited to attend a special
performance hosted by Princeton University Concerts on Friday,
September 19, at 7:30 pm in Richardson Auditorium, when excerpts
of the book will be read by actress Meryl Streep and paired with
works for string quartet by Arvo Pärt and Schubert played by the
Takács String Quartet. This unique collaboration features some of the
most brilliant, creative and interpretive artists of our time.
Participants should read Everyman in advance of the class and come
prepared to discuss it.
*NOTE: Space in this class is limited, especially to those who want to

PRINCETON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA:
V.I.P. PASS TO DRESS REHEARSALS
Richardson Auditorium
Sat., 10:00–1:00 pm, Sept. 27, Nov. 1, Jan. 17, 3 sessions
$39
This is your exclusive invitation to the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s
Saturday morning dress rehearsals at Richardson Auditorium. Witness
the orchestra preparing for its Classical Series concerts; listen as PSO
Music Director Rossen Milanov explains musical ideas and coaches the
orchestra, administering technical guidance as well as drawing on
imagery and reflections about the human experience to shape the
performance; hear beautiful and adventuresome music performed at its
final rehearsal. Participants are welcomed and hosted at Richardson
Auditorium by PSO Executive Director Melanie Clarke who shares behind
the scenes remarks.
Session I: Sat., Sept. 27
Concert: Romantic Imaginings
Rossen Milanov, conductor
Bella Hristova, violin*
Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor
Bruckner Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major, “Romantic”
A season of romance begins with the sweetness and beauty of Max
Bruch’s first violin concerto, composed when he was only nineteen, his
youthful imagination in full bloom at the height of the Romantic Period.
Opening with an arresting horn fanfare, Bruckner’s “Romantic” sym-phony
harkens back to medieval times, calling to mind knights sallying
forth for a woodland hunt. In this symphony, Bruckner’s vast musical
vision unfolds in layer after layer of sublimely eloquent themes, full
of variety and character, achieving an underlying radiance that is
unmistakably sacred and glorious.
Session II, Sat., Nov. 1
Concert: Classically Russian
Rossen Milanov, conductor
Natasha Paremski, piano*
Bolcom Commedia for “Almost” 18th Century Orchestra
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 23
Stravinsky Petrushka
William Bolcom’s Commedia is at turns mocking, theatrical, and above all
entertaining as he arranges a surreal exchange of views by stock Italian op-era
characters in a deft pastiche. The center of the piece is a quick, merry
saltarello dance leading to an unsettled instrumental mosaic which casts a
spell of anxious, dreamlike instability to the entertainment. A profusion of
passion, excitement and ardor play out in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto
No. 1, one of his most famous and beloved works. Stravinsky takes Rus-sian
romantic nationalism into an abstract realm represented by blocks of
sound and rhythm. His music for Petrushka incorporates colorful Russian
folk music amid bold swaths of sound in this ballet inspired by commedia
dell’arte characters.
Session III, Saturday, Jan 17
Concert: Scenic Rhythms
Daniel Boico, guest conductor*
Robert Belinić, guitar*
Respighi Trittico Botticelliano
Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez
Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major
Romantic fascination with national art and folk music carries into the early
20th century with Ottorino Respighi’s shimmering homage to three iconic
paintings by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, and Joaquín Rodrigo’s Conci-erto
de Aranjuez, infused with distinctly Spanish rhythms and showcasing
the splendor of Spanish classical guitar. Beethoven’s seventh symphony is
an intoxicating adventure of wild, swirling motion, deploying dance-like
rhythms as its vitalizing force. It is one of Beethoven’s most magnificent
and admired creations.

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR GUT BACTERIA
Ronald Lavine, DC, private practitioner of chiropractic
in New York City and Princeton
A revolutionary shift has occurred in our understanding of health over
the past two decades based on re-evaluating the relationship we have
with the colonies of bacteria that thrive in the human digestive tract.
Rather than see bacteria as agents of disease, this new viewpoint rec-ognizes
the intimate role our intestinal flora play in digestion, nutrient
absorption, protection from toxic chemicals, and immune function.
Healthy colonies of gut bacteria influence your appetite and play a
role in regulating body weight, bloating, irritable bowel, and the for-mation
of ulcers. What’s more, they emit hormones that control your
metabolism, mood, and brain function, and may influence
depression, fibromyalgia, allergies, and more. Join Dr. Lavine for
sixty minutes of lively information about this news-breaking health
topic, and be guided to begin a simple health program to improve
your relationship with your closest neighbors.
