Based on Rasbury's experiences TV/Video with his own child, the show has the ring of authenticity. Web Radio The play begins with a collage of sound as young Max (Marlon Sherman) takes it all in. Broadway Off-topic We are introduced to the busy Mom (Mary Mossberg) and West End Student Dad (Michael Winther) whose lives have become more hectic than they ever expected, from having to care for Max, who spouts out random pop cultural references that he enjoys, such as television commercials, The Wizard of Oz, Event Calendar Abercrombie and Fitch, and his electronic toy that has CHICAGO FUERZA BRUTA Hotel Finder information about the American Presidents.

Dad is off to work, and as soon as Mom turns her back to get the laundry, Max is out the door, where he encounters a leaf-blower named Munc SHREK In The Heights (Everett Quinton) and some neighborhood kids (Ali Stroker, Ramiz Monsef, and Tricia Burns). Save 40%! Tickets $84! BWW Mobile Through Max's perceptions, Munc becomes an avuncular figure who dispenses advice and the NYMF 2009 *new* kids become Pegasus, Albert Einstein, and a Mermaid.

Greg Jbara, Melora Hardin, Mario Photo IQ Cantone, Laura Bell Bundy, Ellen The cast is great all around. The play is intentionally surreal, as directed by David Schweizer, Rialto Chatter Greene, Melissa Errico, Michael Arden & but though it has some very nice moments (especially Albert Einstein's loony hip-hop song More... Stage to Screen about Mount Rushmore and Munc's setting of Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"), Ticket Offers the play remains intellectually engaging without becoming emotionally so. This may be the fault Tony Awards of Carlin and Rasbury's lyrics, which, while appropriate for Max's fractured impressions of the Twitter Watch world around him, seem banal when coming from characters like Mom and Dad. Rasbury's Your Settings music is fascinating and complicated, employing a New Age Ray Lynch/Philip Glass-like mode of repeating motifs, and incorporating sampled sounds (washing machines, television commercials, Max's Presidential toy); quite unlike anything I've heard at the NYMF before.

    Nunt. Antiquus, Belo Horizonte, v. 15, n. 1, p. 155-184, 2019 The Tenth Muse: Cinema A décima Musa: Cinema Martin M. Winkler George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia / United States [email protected] Abstract: In Classical Antiquity, the nine Muses were the patron goddesses of all arts and sciences and the inspiration for creative minds, especially poets. With the march of technology until today, their realm has significantly expanded. Jean Cocteau, among others, added a tenth Muse to the original nine: that of the cinema. This article surveys various films in which one or more of the Muses play major parts; it also pays homage to the actresses who portray them and to others who may be regarded as their screen relatives. Keywords: classical mythology; films about antiquity; Hesiod; Homer; Muses in film; Polyhymnia; Terpsichore. Resumo: Na Antiguidade Clássica, as nove Musas eram as deusas patronas de todas as artes e ciências e a inspiração para as mentes criativas, especialmente a dos poetas. Com o desenvolvimento da tecnologia até hoje, seu reino se expandiu significativamente. Jean Cocteau, entre outros, adicionou uma décima Musa às nove originais: o cinema. Este artigo inspeciona vários filmes nos quais uma ou mais das Musas têm um papel representativo; e também homenageia as atrizes que as interpretam e as que podem ser vistas como suas parentes na tela. Palavras-chave: mitologia clássica; filmes sobre a antiguidade; Hesíodo; Homero; Musas no cinema; Polímnia; Terpsícore. Mênin aeide, thea and Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon: these words open our oldest works of literature, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.

The innovative and acclaimed production, which enjoyed a sold-out engagement at downtown L.A.’s Rosenthal Theatre in fall 2014, is performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken English by a cast of 25. The Los Angeles Times said that Spring Awakening is “an emotional triumph,” and that “Awakening awakens us to the dormant possibilities of this musical, with all the goose-bumps and teardrops to prove it.” Patricia Wolff, Interim Artistic Director of The Wallis says, “We are thrilled to welcome to The Wallis Los Angeles’ own Tony-winning Deaf West Theatre, and to share the creativity and joyousness of this brilliant and utterly original production with a broader audience. In Spring Awakening, American Sign Language is not just incorporated but actually choreographed into this emotionally charged musical, creating an organic and beautifully theatrical metaphor, ultimately expanding the theme of adolescent struggle to one that also celebrates the universal human need for communication and connection." James D’Asaro, Interim Producing Director of The Wallis noted, “Our role as lead producer for the transfer of Spring Awakening to our venue points to two of our presenting tenets – to not only partner with the best and most creative theaters in this country and abroad, but to support in the fullest sense visionary and innovative work created in our own Los Angeles theatre community.
