Director’s Notes A little over a year ago, Lisa Mallette and I brainstormed about a world premiere for City Lights. With the company’s Season on Women on our minds, we discussed the need in our industry for vibrant female roles and plays highlighting issues facing women today. After musing on a variety of topics, we settled on a project about women in Silicon Valley, specifically in computer gaming. This is a personal subject for me. When my daughter was in the 5th grade she announced that she is going to be a game designer. I enrolled her in a summer program only to discover that she was the only girl in the class. I started investigating the volatile events surrounding #gamergate, the incessant trolling of women gamers on line and the misogynistic “Bro” culture of the Valley. As I dug deeper into this world, the dangers facing women became more apparent to me. From blatant sexual harassment and verbal abuse to doxing and death threats, the trolls continue in their quest to bully women out of the industry. It became clear to me that we need to talk about this. The video game industry is larger than the movie and the music industries. Change isn’t something that can happen overnight, but the gradual shift is becoming apparent as we raise awareness of the on-line gender war. Programs have emerged that train girls to code. In addition to creating games, women lead and teach in the top gaming programs in the country. Content is becoming more inclusive as it embraces voices that have been marginalized. I am incredibly grateful to City Lights and our producers for the opportunity to shine a light on this subject, because games are and should be for everyone. -- Kirsten Brandt Who’s Who Behind the Scenes John Bernard (Lighting Designer) is thrilled to return to CLTC this season and to work on this world premiere, after previously lighting Eurydice, The Siegel and The Merchant Of Venice for City Lights. John earned his Master’s degree from the University of Washington in 2015. In the Bay Area, he has designed for CMTSJ, San Jose Dance Co., San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Ray Of Light, Stanford Repertory Theater, San Jose State University, Silicon Valley Shakespeare, The Dragon Theater, The Pear Avenue Theater, and Hillbarn. Upcoming projects include 3Below’s world premiere A Statue For Ballybunion, CMTSJ’s In The Heights, and Silicon Valley Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure and Sense and Sensibility.

On the plus side, we continued to provide healthcare of the highest quality for our local population. This was recognised by the award of three stars - the highest available score - in the national NHS performance ratings in July 2003 (based upon 2002/03 performance) and by outstanding attainments in the latest survey of NHS Trusts carried out by ‘Dr Foster’, an independent health research organisation, which looks particularly at the quality of services provided. Airedale has retained its position as the best performing Trust in the Northern & Yorkshire region, it was again in the top ten nationally, and it was the best in the country in terms of patient satisfaction. And all this was achieved with clinical staffing levels (doctors and nurses) that are amongst the lowest in the country. On the minus side, the Trust failed to achieve financial balance in 2003/04. This came as no surprise to the Trust Board because we have had an underlying recurrent deficit for the last few years.

  • Original Calendar Girls Celebrate Yorkshire with West End Stars at RHS Chelsea
    Wednesday 24 May 2017 Original Calendar Girls celebrate Yorkshire with West End stars at RHS Chelsea Stars of the hit West End show “The Girls” have joined the original Yorkshire Calendar Girls by the seaside in the Welcome to Yorkshire show garden at RHS Chelsea. Thousands of visitors have been admiring the beautiful Welcome to Yorkshire garden this week with its chalk cliffs, ruined abbey and beach scene. The garden, awarded a silver medal by RHS Chelsea judges, was designed by Leeds-based Tracy Foster and made with 30 tonnes of Yorkshire stone, sand and pebbles. And today original Calendar Girls Tricia Stewart (Miss October) and Ros Fawcett (Miss November) took centre stage in the garden alongside the stage stars of The Girls West End musical, Claire Machin, Debbie Chazen and Sophie-Louise Dann. Tricia said: “I just think the Welcome to Yorkshire garden looks wonderful. I love this beach and sea and the white rocks are fantastic, and the abbey! I think it’s inspired and I love it. It’s definitely the best one here. “This garden gives everyone a taste of Yorkshire. Some people have no idea about how wonderful Yorkshire is, and this garden just shows it off.” Ros said: “It’s just as though we’re on the east coast of Yorkshire and it’s wonderful. “I would say to everyone: come and visit Yorkshire first and then come down to the Calendar Girls show in London and then they can appreciate it all.” Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire: “Yorkshire‘s wowing London right now, both in the West End with The Girls musical and here at Chelsea with our spectacular garden.

  • Made in Dagenham”
    BRAMSHOTT & LIPHOOK PARISH COUNCIL Mr A. S. R. Groves, Clerk. THE PARISH OFFICE HASKELL CENTRE Tel: 01428 722988 MIDHURST ROAD Fax: 01428 727335 LIPHOOK E-mail: HAMPSHIRE GU30 7TN [email protected] PRESS RELEASE “Made In Dagenham” The next showing at the Liphook Millennium Centre Cinema will be “Made In Dagenham ” on Friday 4 February 2011. It’s 1968. Rita lives in Dagenham and, like many local women, she works at the Ford plant stitching together seat covers. Its intricate work carried out in sweltering conditions, for long arduous hours which they must balance with their domestic lives, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lose their patience when they are reclassified as “unskilled”. With humour, common sense and courage they take on their corporate paymasters, an increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself. The leader of the women’s struggle is fast-talking, no nonsense Rita whose fiery temper and occasionally hilarious unpredictability proves to be a match for any of her male opponents. ‘ Made in Dagenham’ shows how, at some expense to their family lives, in a country already crippled by strikes, and with a little help from colourful political firebrand Barbara Castle, the Dagenham women managed to overturn an age old hypocrisy. From the director of ‘ Calendar Girls’ Nigel Cole, ‘ Made in Dagenham’ stars Sally Hawkins as Rita O’Grady who is the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Pay Act. This uplifting, funny and typically British film boasts a strong cast including Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson, Rosamund Pike, Geraldine James, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Kenneth Cranham and even The West Wing’s Richard Schiff.
