FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DANCING IN THE STREETS WILL PERFORM “BAILE DE LOS CASCANEUSES” (The Nutcracker Ballet)

Students, parents and guest artists will participate in popular holiday classic

 

TUCSON, AZ (November 17, 2009)—Dancing in the Streets Arizona will present the holiday classic, “Baile de los Cascanueses” (The Nutcracker Ballet) on December 26 and 27 at 2 p.m. at the Pima Community College Center for the Arts Proscenium Theatre.  The theatre is located at 2202 W. Anklam Road in Tucson.  Live music will be provided by the Civic Orchestra of Tucson.

 

Tickets for the performance are priced at $10 ($12 at the door) and are available by calling the Box Office at 206-6986.  Children age 5 and under will be admitted free of charge.

 

According to Dancing in the Streets board President Marian Lupu, the ballet—which is based upon a fairy tale by E.T.A. Hoffman—was first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1892 and quickly became a favorite with audiences of all ages.  “I believe our rendition is especially successful because of Joseph Rodgers’ ability to choreograph all his dancers, from three-year-olds to adults, in a way that brings out their individual strengths and abilities,” said Mrs. Lupu.  “A generous dose of humor adds to the overall audience experience.”

 

Rodgers, who serves as Dancing in the Streets’ Artistic Director, added, “For nearly 20 years, I have worked with literally hundreds of dancers, both professionals and amateurs, but I am amazed at the amount of real talent I have seen here in South Tucson.  Our performers come alive on stage, and the audience responds with enthusiasm.”

 

For additional information about the performance or to learn more about Dancing in the Streets Arizona, call 867-8489 or visit the organization’s Web site at www.ditsaz.org.

From: bigduke6@q.com
Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 4:15 PM
Subject: [IFASA] Headshots requested

 

 

To all interested Actors:

 

We will be announcing casting very soon to shoot a scene from our feature film in development entitled Whisper To A Scream. The intent is to utilize the scene as a trailer while we seek investment for the project.

 

(Casting in the trailer does not necessarily guarantee casting in the actual feature but at the same time it could create opportunities for selected talent. In addition the trailer can be used for portfolio purposes for selected talent.)

 

 

 

In the interim, headshots and resumes/demo links can be sent to bigduke6@q.com with "Whisper headshots" and your name in the subject field.

 

 

 

Below are the character breakdowns for the scene:

 

Mitch Kincaid: Mid to late 30's. Burned out paramedic fighting his own demons and struggling to keep his sanity working the chaotic streets of a big city EMS system. 

 

Kim McCoy: Late 20's. Brand new paramedic assigned to Mitch who's vigor, passion and independence will help to reeducate Mitch about who he is and what he really needs to be "rescued". 

 

Thank you,

 

Alan Williams

Press Release

(Tucson, AZ) On Sunday, November 29 @ 3:00 PM on the stage of the Berger Performing Arts Center, 1200 West Speedway Blvd., Chamber Music PLUS launches its seventh season of their unique programs Rhythms of LFE: the melding of dramatic narratives with dynamic singing and luscious melodies: "Pardon My English: Gershwin by  Ira" starring Robert Picardo.

 

Harry Clark, cellist and playwright, Artistic Director of Chamber Music PLUS Southwest, has created more than 30 similar "portraits" of famous composers from Charles Ives to Tchaikovsky, conceived "A Gershwin Portrait" as an "entertainment of substance," as he describes it.

 

Clark employs a familiar dramatic convention - the exploration of a main character through the eyes of a close associate - and in "Pardon My English " he uses the character of the protective older sibling/collaborator Ira, as narrator. Identified by Clark as "one of America's greatest wordsmiths," Ira was also the greatest admirer of his kid brother's talents. An acute observer of all that occurred in their meteoric rise to fame, Ira was left to carry on the Gershwin legacy after George's tragically early death. With this dramatic device firmly in place, the path is opened to the famous team's familiar and lesserknown music and songs.

 

Vocalist Katherine Byrnes, pianist Jeff Haskell join Robert Picardo (Ira) for a program that includes "Summertime" and "Bess, You Is My Woman" from "Porgy and Bess," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," "The Man I Love," "Love Walked Right In," and Jeff Haskell’s own take on "Rhapsody In Blue," among others.

 

The production is under the direction of Howard Allen.

 

Clark determined early in the research phase of the piece, that the great joy in creating this stirring production was the exploration of the "patter song," as he refers to it. Influenced by his idols, Gilbert and Sullivan, Ira's lyrics often paid homage to their unique style of writing.

 

Tickets are $35, $24 for CMPSW subscribers and are now available online at www.cmpsouthwest.org or call the Reservation Line (520) 400-5439.

Robert Picardo will do a limited number of interviews on a first come first serve basis. To schedule an Interview contact: Harry Clark @ 860-888-5621 or via e-mail: harry@chambermusicplus.org

About the artists

 

Robert Picardo

 

Bob" entered Yale University as a pre-med student, not know knowing he would someday portray doctors in three separate productions: first as Dr. Dick Richard on the ABC series "China Beach," then as Dr. McCaskill in the theater production "In the Waiting Room" and finally as The Doctor on "Star Trek: Voyager."

While at Yale, Bob landed a role in Leonard Bernstein's "Mass," a musical theater piece originally commissioned for the 1972 opening of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. In 1974, armed with a B.A. in Drama from Yale, he enrolled at the Circle in the Square Professional Theater Workshop (fellow alumni include Kevin Bacon and Ken Olin). He waited tables for a couple of years, and then his theatrical work prospered (in 1976) when he appeared in the David Mamet play "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," and with Diane Keaton in "The Primary English Class."

 

In 1977, Bob made his Broadway debut in the leading role in in the comedy hit "Gemini" with Danny Aiello. He went on to co-star with Jack Lemmon in "Tribute".

The awards and recognition continued as Bob became involved in television. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his role as Mr. Cutlip on the ABC series "The Wonder Years." Furthermore, Bob was awarded the Viewers For Quality Television Founder's Award for his outstanding performances in "The Wonder Years" and as military surgeon Dr. Dick Richard on "China Beach."

 

Bob's extensive television work has included a starring role opposite Helena Bonham-Carter, the HBO movie "White Mile," and the NBC mini-series "Deadly Matrimony."

Law," and "Alice," and has  guest-starred in such series as "The Dead Zone," "The Practice," "Frasier," "Crossing Jordan," "Seven Days," "Ally McBeal," "Outer Limits," "Early Edition," "ER," "Tales From The Crypt," "Amazing Stories," and "Taxi." Bob recently appeared in the feature films "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" and "Small Soldiers."

Katherine is extremely happy to be paying tribute to one of the greatest lyricists who ever lived, Ira Gershwin! A graduate of the University of Arizona with a degree in music, Katherine has established herself as a prominent fixture in the Tucson jazz & blues scene.  While at the University, she performed with many ensembles, most notably being the vocalist for the U of A Studio Big Band!

 

After two years in New York and studying in Paris, Katherine has returned to Tucson and expanded to many other musical genres.  In addition to her blues/early rock & roll band, Backbeat, Katherine is also the host of Arizona Public Media’s new local music show, "In Tune".  One of her favorite current projects is singing with a 15-piece Mambo/Rock band called "Sergio Mendoza Y la Orkesta". She has opened for such bands as Calexico, Ozomatli, and the Neville Brothers. Her self-titled album can be found at www.parkavenurecords.org.

 

DR. JEFFREY HASKELL

 

Co-founder and musical director of the Tucson Jazz Orchestra and, as a senior faculty member in the School of Music & Dance at the University of Arizona, Haskell is the Area Coordinator of Jazz Studies and Director of the Recording Studio.

Haskell has won three Los Angeles Emmy Awards for his work on the much celebrated children's TV program, "Dusty's Treehouse", and critics praised his theme and underscore for the "IT Show" for ABC, for which he received a Los Angeles Emmy nomination. Some of his recent Hollywood music include arrangements on two Linda Ronstadt albums, cues for "Dudley Do-Right" and "Fight Club". "Pastiche Americana", a composition written for chorus and orchestra, was performed by The Little Orchestra in Lincoln Center. His "Concerto for Jazz Band and Orchestra" debuted with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. And he conducted the world premiere of Billy Taylor's suite for jazz trio and big band, "Fiesta In Tucson".

A veteran of hundreds of "jingles", he has orchestrated an album for UP WITH PEOPLE!, has recorded a legendary synthesizer album for Capitol Records, and has served as music director, arranger and conductor for country music legend Buck Owens, with whom he recently completed an album with the Bakersfield Symphony.

Tucson: ZUZI!'s 12th Annual Solstice Celebration House Made of Light

zuzisphere@gmail.com

 

12TH ANNUAL SOLSTICE CELEBRATION “House Made of Light”

 

ZUZI! Dance Company celebrates the Solstice with modern and aerial dance in a multi-generational performance including professional dancers from ZUZI!’s Dance Company, ZUZI!’s Apprentice Company, ZUZI!'s “Many Limbs” Youth Aerial Company, and members of our annual community workshop.

 

The word Solstice, means standing still sun. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year; it marks the turning from the cold dark days of winter to the warmer, lighter days of spring and summer.  Traditionally, this season was used as a time of reflection, renewal and community celebration. 

 

ZUZI! CoFounder and Artistic Director Nanette Robinson and several choreographers including Associate Artistic Director, Beth Braun Miscione and company members Alison Hart, Mirela Roza, Sara Anderson and Karyn Reim are presenting dances.

 

Unlike a typical dance concert, the dances in “House Made of Light” combine to create a larger experience.  A few of the dances in the performance grew out of the writings and improvisations created during the rehearsal experience, in particular, the community workshop and company dance “Waves of Light” by Nanette Robinson.

 

Solstice Celebration will be performed on December 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st at 7:30 pm at the ZUZI! Theater located at 738 N 5th Ave inside of the Historic YWCA.  Tickets for this event are $15 general admission and $13 for seniors and students. There will also be a  special matinee on December 11th at 10:30 am.  Tickets for the matinee will be specially priced at $7.

 

ZUZI! will be hosting a silent auction of donated items including, jewelry, concert tickets, wine baskets, a weekend stay at the Gila Wilderness Lodge and much, much more. 

 

In this season of giving, ZUZI! offers as its gift the magic of movement, creative energy and reflection, the 12th Annual Solstice Celebration “House Made of Light.”
