Subject: Services for Albert Soto

Thank you to all of you who have expressed condolences over the loss of our colleague Albert Soto. We are deeply saddened by Albert's sudden death last week.  Albert was a passionate arts advocate and administrator who gave generously to so many causes--striving always to make the world more just and more art-full!!   

 

Albert had worked at the Arts Council since 1991 developing and managing a wide range of programs and services--from grants to support artists and arts organizations, to international exchange programs and programs that served youth and neighborhoods.  Most recently Albert was the Director of ArtWORKS! Academy and was overseeing the school’s relocation to the downtown historic warehouse arts district and expansion to serve more students.

 

We invite you to join Albert's family, friends and colleagues in honoring and celebrating his life and his legacy this Saturday, December 3.   We have just learned that there have been changes in the details of those services.   Please note the details  below. 

Mary Anne Ingenthron

An amazing evening of Dances in space, Music in time, with Theatre, Poetry and Visuals for the Mind.

An evening of collaborative performance works by many of Tucson’s seasoned movement and musical artists held in the intimate environment of the ORTSPACE Warehouse. Contributing to the evening of exciting and moving performances will be: Capoeira Malandragem, The Human Project, Nicole Stansbury, Charles Alexander, Lena Lauer, Nicole Sasala, Annie Bunker, Barbara Schuessler, Richard Tavenner, Sukie Keita, Danielle Jones, Kiona Brown, Aurelia Cohen, Dondi Marble, Anton Smith, Charlie Luna, Adrian Ruizand others.

This event will be the last of a series running eight years utilizing the entire warehouse space. O-T-O Dance is loosing it’s east studio early in 2006. So, if you’ve missed this performance in past years this will be your last chance to experience it.

Last years performances sold out, so get your tickets early!

  

Performance Description:

 

Artistic mayhem? Possibly. Risk Taking? You bet. A sumptuous buffet of movement and visual delicacies. Front line performances? That’s the whole point!  O-T-O Dance once again sets the stage for a level of artistic intimacy almost unheard of in today’s performance art venues.  Two simultaneous performances spaces will all take place in the same large studio space, the Ortspace Studio Complex located in Tucson’s Historic Warehouse District. 

The boundary between the stage and seats will be at times hard to find. This unique venue allows creative use of space, thrusting the viewer into the gray area between participant and audience member.  This “front line” performance layout creates an intimate visceral connection between the performer and the viewer that is not possible in more traditional settings.

 

During the evening, the audience will experience a series of performance works, moving between two performance spaces. Audiences will experience a wide variety of performance works including: Modern, Aerial Dance, Flamenco, African, Hip Hop and addition to Poetry and Capoeira

 

Our performances are audience friendly; all the works are suitable for humans of all ages.  The doors open one half hour before the start of the show.

Subject: [Tucson Actors] WANTED: Lead Role Voice Actor for Feature ADR

I'm revoicing the leading role in a locally produced film noir.

Experienced, trained (Method preferred), Female Actor, 23-30 years
old for VOICE WORK ONLY. This role is emotionally demanding,
complex, and nuanced.  Terror, rage, desperation, cynicism,
manipulation, betrayal, double crosses, and other powerful
expressive scenes.  You must view the entire project before deciding
whether or not to audition.

If you've never done ADR before, you'll be good at it in an hour,
and by the end of this project, you'll be expert enough to add "ADR"
to your resume' skill list.

There are 24 scenes.  With diligent work, this can be accomplished
in 12 to 14 sessions of 3 - 3 1/2 hours each -- approximately 2
scenes per session.  With a "legit" level of commitment, this work
can be completed in 2 weeks with a weekend day for 2 - 3 sessions in
between -- or 1 week, if your schedule permits. Work will be
scheduled in January.

No play; festival play; DVDs when they are manufactured; glory,
gratitude, dinner/coffee/bottled water.

Character Breakdown

*The Stranger

Actor: Open

The Stranger is a man that has been beaten near to death. In the
process of
being brutally beaten, he has lost his memory. He sets out on a road
to
physical recovery and begins to regain some of his memory. As he
realizes
what has happened to him, and who did this brutality to him and his
fiancé,
he goes on a journey of mad rage and revenge.

*Gypsy Woman

Actor: Open

Gypsy Woman 23-40 years of age, an Italian immigrant who is a single
mother
and has used her psychic gift to portray a fortuneteller for a
traveling
freak show. She is a very strong independent woman who lives for her
son and
will do anything to protect him and provide for him.

*Wes

Actor: Open

Wes is a 30-40 man who leads a group of gun for hires known as the
Dark
Riders. He carries himself as someone much older. He is rough and
weathered
looking. He is very professional and very good at what he does. He
is not
someone that anyone would choose to be friend.

*Sheriff

Actor: Open

Sheriff Emit Collins is a tall, good looking 30-40 year old man who
takes
pride in keeping the peace. He is a well-respected community member.
He has
a fun sense of sarcasm to him. He is not the greatest gunslinger,
but gets
the job done at whatever cost.

*Yin

Actor: Open

Yin is a very old Asian immigrant. Yin began the Freak Show to make
a means
to an end. Just from looking at Yin, you may feel uneasy because of
his long
nails. However, those who know him feel close to him and know he
wise, and can be trusted.

*Artimus

Actor: Open

Younger version of Yin

*Tattoo Man

Actor: Open

The Tattoo Man is a very large (muscle) man. His body, including his
face,
is covered in tattoos. He is a New Zealander who traveled to here in
search
of land of which to purchase and make a home. Because of his
appearance, he
is the type of guy that would not be accepted anywhere but the Freak
Show.
He is not only a performer, but also is Yin’s right-hand man. He has
very
strong romantic feelings for the Gypsy Woman that are obvious to
everyone in
the Freak Show, but he has never pursued her.

*John (Dark Rider)

Actor: Open

John Custer is in his mid-thirties. He is a small build, but very
quick with
his gun. He stands as Wes’s right-hand man for the band of hired
gunslingers
known as the Dark Riders.

*Doug (Dark Rider)

Actor: Open

Doug Samuels is in his young twenties. He and his brother, Ben, have
been
riding with the Dark Riders for close to five years. He, like his
brother,
is in it for the thrill more so than the money.

*Ben (Dark Rider)

Actor: Open

Ben Samuels is the younger brother to Doug who also rides with Dark
Riders.
Though he is the youngest of the pack, he is no less ruthless than
the rest.
He is thin but tall. He has a very humble presence to his domineer.

*Virgil (backup Deputy 1)

Actor: Open

Virgil is in his early sixties. A good spirited rugged man who
believes in
God, the Law and Family. He is a volunteer town deputy.

*Jimmy, Tye and Buck (Backup Deputy’s)

Tucson: Live Theatre Workshop - ETCETERA series

Subject: Live Theatre Workshop - ETCETERA series

 
Live Theatre Workshop’s
ETCETERA, Late Night Series presents
 
Oleanna
By David Mamet
 
Carol is a politically correct student.  She believes that the ‘system’ is at fault if the grades she receives reflect failure.
 John is her professor.  He discredits the value of his peers and his   institution which is immersed in materialism. 
Carol sees John as a weak link and sets out to destroy him and     make an example of him to society, other professors and the college authorities.
The very nature of power itself is displayed as it shifts between them.  Their relationship is undermined since they both fail to define its boundaries and fail to understand the words they speak to one another.
 
“Drama is about two people who want something different...power, that’s another way of putting it” - David Mamet.
 
Directed by
Charlotte Langford
 
Starring
Dana Armstrong and Kevin Lucero Less
 
The show runs December 1st - December 17th, 2005

Tucson: Actors wanted - film project, pre-production


From: Rick Gutierrez [mailto:barbarick333@yahoo.com]
Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 12:28 PM
Subject: Re: Actors desired

I'm developing a film in the style of commedia dell'arte and am looking for actors experienced in improvisation to help draft the script. (Think "Before Sunset." Well, kind of.) Serious inquiries from dedicated actors only, please.
 
Regarding the project, I didn't really want to put an age limit, although I suppose I am primarily looking for a man and woman in their 20s. It's a story about unrequited love, a relationship between two good friends. Perhaps noting that it'd be written in the commedia dell'arte style is a little misleading in the sense that the beginning and end have already been written, but I wanted to compose everything in between in rehearsals with the actors. (Sort of like Mike Leigh.) Being that this is such a preliminary stage, no pay is to be expected at this time.

Event: The Invisible Theatre Presents
DONA ROSITA'S JALAPENO KITCHEN
Starring Award Winning Ruby Nelda Perez
By Rodrigo Duarte-Clark

Date/Time: Friday, December 2, 8:00 PM
Saturday, December 3, 2:00 PM
Saturday, December 3, 8:00 PM

Place: The Berger Performing Arts Center
1200 W. Speedway, Tucson, Arizona

Tickets: $40 per person
Discounts available for groups of 10 or more.
Call 882-9721 for reservations and information.

The Invisible Theatre presents DONA ROSITA'S JALAPENO KITCHEN, starring Ruby
Nelda Perez, written by Rodrigo Duarte-Clark This one-woman show is
deliciously comic and peppered with the poignancy of Cultural Pride. Dona
Rosita invites the audience for the "Last Supper" in the barrio of
Salsipuedes while she contemplates selling her restaurant/home of 23 years,
to make way for a brand new tourist shopping mall. Generous servings of one
flavorful character after another will leave your spirit nourished yet
hungry for more! As Dońa Rosita is performing, she's also cooking. As
she's cooking, talking to the audience and playing various characters, Ruby
is weaving a story about the importance of heritage, traditions and
neighborhood.

Ruby Nelda Perez began a career as a solo artist in San Antonio, Texas, when
she was asked to select and recite literary works at the Guadalupe Cultural
Arts Center in 1985. Actor, soloist and comedienne, she brings to life an
array of full-bodied, emotionally textured characters in colorful
performances. Her portrayals have brought national recognition, eliciting
enthusiastic reactions from both the Spanish and non-Spanish speaking
audiences. Through collaborations with Latino and Latina writers, she
weaves legends, stories, folk tales and many personal experiences. In A
WOMAN'S WORK, she staged and directed poems and monologues by writers Denise
Chavez, Mary Sue Galindo and Enedina Casarez-Vasquez. In 1994, she
collaborated with playwright Rodrigo Duarte-Clark in creating DONA ROSITA'S
JALAPENO KITCHEN. Ruby has performed her show all over the country from
California to New York to Alaska and back home to Texas to rave reviews. The
success of this play brought outstanding recognition from both critics and
audiences. In May of 1999, Duarte-Clark and Perez presented the second
part, ROSITA'S DAY OF THE DEAD, at the Jump-Start Performance Space in San
Antonio, TX. Both agree that a trilogy may be in the future, offering the
closure of the "Rosita's" series.

Ruby received her theatre experience at Texas A&I University in Kingsville,
TX. In 1977 she helped found The First Bilingual Theatre of Houston (now
known as Talento Bilingue de Houston) and later in 1982 accepted the
position of Artistic/Project Director of that same company. In 1979 she
worked as a teacher of Chicano Theatre at Plaza de la Raza in Los Angeles,
and in 1980 joined El Teatro de la Esperanza in Santa Barbara, California.
In 1984 she became a member of Los Actores de San Antonio with the Guadalupe
Cultural Arts Center. Ruby and her husband, Jorge, have two daughters, Alma
Victoria and Maya Luna and are currently based in San Antonio.

Rodrigo Duarte-Clark is a founding member and current Artistic Director of
El Teatro de la Esperanza. He was principal playwright of many of the
group's collective creations including HIJOS, GUADALUPE, and LA VICTIMA and
has authored full length and one act plays, THE OCTOPUS, LOTERIA DE
PASIONES, ROSARIO'S BARRIO, and BASEMENT REFUGEES. His play BRUJERIAS was
published in An Anthology of Chicano Theatre and made into a film. His
directing credits include: WE CAN'T PAY, WE WON'T PAY, HIJOS, LA VICTIMA
and REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES. He has served on the board and staff of TENAZ
as Continental Coordinator and Executive Director. He is currently on the
American Festival Board and has served on various panels for the NEA and
California Arts Council.

DONA ROSITA'S JALAPENO KITCHEN is presented, in part, through the generous
support of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Maxfield and the Tucson Pima Arts Council.

Call the Invisible Theatre at (520) 882-9721, Tuesday through Friday from
10-4 for reservations and ticket information, or stop by the office at 1400
N. First Avenue (at Drachman). Ticket cost is $40. Discounts for groups of

Tucson: ARIZONA ONSTAGE PRODUCTIONS - SEE JERRY SPRINGER THE OPERA FOR FREE!!!

 


From: Arizonaonstage@aol.com [mailto:Arizonaonstage@aol.com]
Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:43 AM
Subject: ARIZONA ONSTAGE PRODUCTIONS - SEE JERRY SPRINGER THE OPERA FOR FREE!!!

Dear Friends of the Tucson Theatre Community,

 

On Saturday November 5th, Arizona Onstage Productions will have a fund raiser called TRASH AND TREASURE – JERRY SPRINGER GOES TO HELL.  This is three doses of insanity that can only be found in the mind of Jerry Springer and his “guests of honor”.

 

Dose 1 – Stephanie Sikes, Edmon Yohannes, and Liz Redman (with music director Diane Thomas) will present a mini-recital from the London Hit JERRY SPRINGER – THE OPERA. 

 

Dose 2 – The popular comedy team of NOT BURNED OUT JUST UNSCREWED  will take to the Jerry Springer set for 25 minutes of improve that will be wild and chair-thrown crazy!

 

Intermission – finger foods served with attitude by female illusionist Trai’ La Trash and pink haired twins Shaniqua and Grace Lushious Jackson the3rd  - watch out for your purses and wallets!  There will be a cash beer and wine bar.

 

Dose 3 – Courtesy of the BBC, The United States Broadcast premiere of the London hit musical JERRY SPRINGER – THE OPERA will be presented on a large screen in great booming stereo sound.  This is not available anywhere on video or DVD.  This show ran for over 700 performances to rave reviews, and won all four of the highly coveted BEST MUSICAL awards for 2004.  It is currently on tour in Europe with bookings going into 2007.

 

“A bruising, shocking, irresistibly funny masterpiece – intelligent, superbly choreographed and utterly hilarious entertainment” – John Peters, The Sunday Times

 

Please note that this production contains extreme language and religious references that some may consider offensive.  Go to www.jerryspringertheopera.com for a video clip, or www.arizoaonstageproductions for local information.

 

Tickets are $20 with advance reservation, $25 at the door.  Tax receipts will be available.

 

HOW CAN I GET IN FOR FREE???

 

The Arizona State Tax Credit program is a way to donate a certain amount of money to a specific school, and you receive the entire amount, dollar for dollar back in your return!  It is easier than ever.  There is no longer a need to fill out a “long form” or itemize. 

 

If you file single, you may donate $200.  If you file jointly, you may donate $300.  If you owe state taxes, this entire amount will be taken out of your taxes owed.  If you do not owe the state that amount (or any amount!)  you receive a check from the state of Arizona for the full amount donated.  I am the Theatre Arts Director of The BASIS School, a free to the public school known for high academic and artistic standards.  Arizona Onstage Productions works closely with this school in artistic projects throughout the year.  We are currently trying to fund projects including BRUNDIBAR – a children’s opera that was performed in Terezin, a concentration camp.  This production will be held at The Temple of Music and Arts on April 1st. 

 

WHAT DO I GET IF I MAKE MY TAX CREDIT DONATION?

 

There will be a representative at ZUZI Theater to further discuss the benefits of this program. They are also authorized to give you your official tax receipt in person instead of waiting for it to be mailed for you. If you make a donation of the full amount allowed, or sign a pledge form that you will make the donation by December 20th to the BASIS School –attention Theatre Arts program you get:

 

2 free admissions to TRASH AND TREASURE – JERRY SPRINGER GOES TO HELL – value - $40 - $50

 

2 beer/wine/soda vouchers

 

2 tickets to the opening night gala of the Tucson premiere of Jason Robert Brown’s musical SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD – featuring Ben Crawford, Walter Belcher, Liz Redman, Stephanie Sikes, Joey Topmiller and Diane Thomas.  Value - $50

 

A 2 CD set of the live cast recording of JERRY SPRINGER THE OPERA – not commercially available in the United States.  Value…priceless.

 

So, you get tickets to two great events, a 2 CD set, beverages, …and every penny of your donation back with your tax return!  This is a win-win situation.

 

Call 882-6574 to make your reservation, or show up at Zuzi’s Theater before7pm for an evening you will not forget.  Either way you chose to attend, we thank you for your support of new and exciting musicals for Tucson.

 

Sincerely,
