SDC Performance Venue Precedence.Pptx Art in Architecture Student Design Competition Performance Venues Crosby Theatre Santa Fe, New Mexico Surrounded by the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Crosby Theatre is home to the Santa Fe Opera. The open-air theater features a stunning roof that curves to capture the “shape of the sound” and to collect rainwater, which is then stored and used for upkeep around the campus. The entire stage and mezzanine roofs span 26,616 square feet. The Crosby Theatre, named after opera company founder John Crosby, seats 2,128 guests (with additional standing room for 106) from around the world during its July and August opera season. Through the years, more than 1,600 performances have been given on the stage, including a mix of classic works and American and world premieres. O’Neal Plaza Douglasville, Georgia O’Neal Plaza is a major focal point of Downtown Douglasville. A brick plaza, with its cheerful fountain, it is here that the rich treasures of the downtown open up to visitors. Whether it’s taking in a weekend festival or musical entertainment on the plaza stage, O’Neal Plaza is the path that leads to visitors to downtown shops and some of the best dining in the region. Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles, California Known as the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the country, the Hollywood Bowl is a legendary performance space, public park, and picnic ground. The Beatles, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and many more have all performed on the Bowl’s stage. In order to balance acoustics with design and natural landscape, a number of different shell-designs were used throughout the years; the iconic shell that appears today was created in 1929 and a new shell that improved sound, while keeping the famous look, was added in 2003. The Los Angeles Philharmonic regularly performs at the Bowl. Jay Pritzker Pavilion Chicago, Illinois Designed by famous architect Frank Gehry, Jay Pritzker Pavilion is a stunning installation in Chicago’s Millennium Park and features 120-foot stainless steel ribbons and crisscrossing steel pipes that stretch over the Great Lawn. With a mix of fixed seating and lawn space, more than 11,000 can attend one of the park’s concerts, many of which are free. Home to the Grant Park Music Festival, the concert venue has also welcomed Jewel, Clint Black, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to its stage. The Jay Pritzker Pavilion opened in the summer of 2004 and provides stunning views of Chicago’s skyline. Ravinia Highland Park, Illinois Just north of Chicago, Ravinia brings all manner of classic rock icons, contemporary folk artists, local orchestras, R&B veterans, and much more to Highland Park, Ill., each summer. Considered the oldest outdoor music festival in the U.S., Ravinia is a one-of-a-kind venue with a sweeping lawn where attendees enjoy picnics with their live music. McCall Plaza Plano, Texas McCall Plaza is designed as an outdoor events and music venue complete with a nearly 800- square-foot covered stage and lots of landscaping and parking space for audiences. The stage is completely visible from any angle. However, two main viewpoints are available for performances, depending on the size of the audience. One way fits an audience size of about 150–200 people. The second way faces the parking lot, which is closed down for larger shows, and fits a crowd up to 1,000 people. When not utilized as a performance area, the estimated half-acre plaza is vibrant with folks picnicking or just sitting under the shade enjoying the bustle of Plano’s historic downtown. Elitch Theatre & Garden Denver, Colorado The Historic Elitch Theatre is located at the original Elitch Gardens site in northwest Denver, Colorado. Opened in 1890, it was centerpiece of the park that was the first zoo west of Chicago. The theatre was Denver's first professional theatre, serving as home to America's first and oldest summer-stock theatre company from 1893 until the 1960s. Tanglewood Lenox, Massachusetts Just outside of Boston, Tanglewood Music Center is a Massachusetts landmark. The spacious outdoor music venue is not just the summer home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but it’s also a hot spot for the year’s top tours from musicians in pop, R&B, rock, blues, country, folk, and much more. Whether you sit in the amphitheater or on the spacious lawn, you’re bound to enjoy a day spent at this beautiful venue. The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is Tobin Center San Antonio, Texas situated along the banks of the River in the city’s heart. The historic Municipal Auditorium, with its original facade preserved, has been transformed into a world-class venue. This theatrical icon is once again the pride of the River and a shining beacon of creativity, fine art and downtown development. While the multi-purpose theatre is a magnificent indoor venue, an outdoor performance plaza connected to the River Walk is a great place to relax and enjoy the fresh air and gardens while listening to various performances. The River Walk plaza seats 600, however the surrounding terrace, steps and landscape offers flexibility of space and can contain larger audiences.

  • Playbill 2017
    PLAYBILL ALPHA PSI OMEGA DELTA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega Delta Psi Omega Chapters in Action Scholarship Winners 2017 History of Alpha and Delta Psi Omegas In the early twentieth century, interest in the dramatic arts grew tremendously on college and university cam- puses. By 1920, most colleges had a dramatic organization staging plays annually for the campus and the com- munity at large. Also around this time, little theatre productions and dramatic workshops began taking place. This furthered the interest in theatre on campuses everywhere, especially in the western part of the country. At this time, several honororary groups were formed to recognize and reward exemplary student participation in those productions. In 1921, at Fairmont State College in Fairmont, West Virginia, college theater took root. A faculty director was hired in 1923, and the Masquers were formed. The Masquers were charged with presenting a season of 4 to 5 major productions per year for students and the general public. In 1924, the Masquers began searching for a na- tional honorary organization to join. As there was no truly national organization, Elinor B. Watson, Robert Sloan, and Fairmont faculty director Paul F. Opp researched forming such a national organization. As a result of their research and work, a proposed national constitution was drawn up, and, on August 12, 1925, the first cast of Alpha Psi Omega members, drawn from the Masquers, was initiated. It was then decided that each chapter was to be called a "cast," and Fairmont College became the Alpha Cast. Soon after, Marshall Col- lege in Huntington, West Virginia, expressed interest in chartering a cast of Alpha Psi Omega; they founded the Beta Cast.

  • Musical Theatre in the Mountains: an Examination of West Virginia Public Theatre’S History, Mission, Practices, and Community Impact
    MUSICAL THEATRE IN THE MOUNTAINS: AN EXAMINATION OF WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE’S HISTORY, MISSION, PRACTICES, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. David S. Sollish A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Michael B. Ellison, Advisor Elaine J. Colprit Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan L. Chambers Ronald E. Shields ii ABSTRACT Michael B. Ellison, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which a professional theatre can impact its community and to provide useful suggestions for young producers hoping to start their own theatre. By using the West Virginia Public Theatre as a case study and by examining its three-part mission (to entertain, to educate, and to improve the quality of life), this study highlights both effective and ineffectual practices conducted by the theatre, its administration, and its staff to ascertain the efficacy of that mission. Furthermore, the numerous voices stemming from my personal interviews with a cross-section of the community have served as a principal source of data from which to analyze the theatre’s impact on the blue-collar, sports- focused society of North Central West Virginia. West Virginia Public Theatre was established in 1985 and since has grown to be a reputable summer stock company. Modeled on the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, West Virginia Public Theatre has developed from a small, unknown theatre performing in a parking lot tent to a well-respected summer stock theatre with aspirations of further developing into a regional company.
