    HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1200 BLOCK 11th STREET SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA Prepared for: City of Santa Monica, City Planning Division 1685 Main Street, Room 212 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Prepared by: Jan Ostashay Principal Ostashay & Associates Consulting PO BOX 542 November 2018 Long Beach, CA 90801 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1200 Block 11th Street Santa Monica, California INTRODUCTION At the request of the City of Santa Monica’s Planning and Community Development Department, Ostashay & Associates Consulting (OAC) has prepared this historic district assessment to determine if a potential historic district exists along the 1200 block of 11th Street based on the historic district application submitted to the City in June 2018 by the Santa Monica Mid City Neighbors (the applicant). The applicant’s proposed historic district is located within the Town of Santa Monica tract. It contains older single-family housing stock dating back to 1905 as well as multi-story apartment houses and contemporary condominiums. OAC evaluated the block and the grouping of properties identified in the applicants report (dated April 2017, Update May 2018) to determine whether it appears to satisfy one or more of the statutory criteria associated with City of Santa Monica Historic District eligibility, pursuant to Chapter 9.56 (Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code. Completion of this assessment involved a site visit and documentation of potential resources within the district study area; the collection and review of building permits obtained from the City’s Planning and Community Development; archival research conducted at the Santa Monica Public Library, Los Angeles Public Library, and other relevant repositories; a review of prior survey work of the area; development of applicable historic contexts and themes; and consideration of eligibility under Santa Monica Historic District criteria.

  • Annual Report 1 August 2013 to 31 July 2014
    ANNUAL REPORT 1 AUGUST 2013 TO 31 JULY 2014 3 Director’s introduction In 2013-14 we witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the movement towards evidence-based reform in education. The IEE is a standard bearer in this movement. IEE research teams are engaged in studies that aim to assess and improve learning in schools, including literacy, maths, technology, and whole-school reform. We obtained new funding for evaluations to improve children’s achievement and well-being through parental engagement and parenting programmes, science education and technology, dialogic teaching interventions, and research in developing countries. You can read more about these exciting new projects in this report. We are proud of the influence we are making in the world of education policy and research. We are actively developing relationships with schools through the rolling out of our York Informed Practice Initiative (better known as YIPI), which helps schools identify and put in place interventions to improve their students’ attainment. YIPI uses our new Evidence 4 Impact website, which we designed to help schools in their search for proven programmes. The secondment of Jonathan Sharples, our Manager of Partnerships, to the Education Endowment Foundation in London, spreads our impact even further. At the IEE we aim to share knowledge of what works and why. We continue to increase the number and scope of practical tools to help connect educators with the approaches that research shows are effective. Our e-newsletter Best Evidence in Brief continues to put readers in touch with recent original research. Best Evidence in Brief now has more than 14,000 recipients As the IEE continues to grow in size and influence, it is worldwide.

Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.

Based on an iconic 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens, with Book by Doug Wright, Music by Scott Frankel, Lyrics by Michael Korie, tells the spectacular real life rise and fall of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s aunt and cousin, Edith and Edie Bouvier Beale. Starting in 1941 at an engagement party at Grey Gardens, the Bouvier’s mansion in East Hampton, Long Island, the musical tracks the progression of the two women’s lives from American aristocrats to reclusive social outcasts living in such squalid conditions, in a home overrun by cats, that the Health Department deemed the mansion ‘unfit for human habitation’. Grey Gardens, produced by Danielle Tarento and directed by Thom Southerland, the award-winning team behind Grand Hotel, Titanic, Parade and Mack & Mabel, will open for a 6-week season in The Large at Southwark Playhouse from Saturday 2 January, 2016. “The best argument I can think of for the survival of the American musical” Press night is Thursday 7 January at 7.30pm.
