Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylva- nia on Sunday joined Alaska Sen.

Toomey said that resignation was the “best path forward, the best way to get this person in the rear view mirror for us.” He was not optimistic that BRYNN ANDERSON/AP Trump would step down before his Two Republican senators are saying President Donald Trump, shown at a rally in Georgia last Monday, should resign after Wednesday’s deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 36, Number 3 Thursday, January 23, 2020 3FJOWFOUJOH$MBTTJDT by Edmund Lawler Dan Schaaf (right) records dialogue for his latest project, “Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler,” with Sherri Waddle-Cummings. Photos by Paul Kemiel Suddenly, quite by accident, Dan Schaaf discov- ered a wildly creative artistic pursuit — breathing new life into classic silent fi lms by composing musi- cal scores and scripting dialogue performed by local stage actors. “Channel 20 used to run silent fi lms at midnight,” Schaaf recalls of his epiphany in the late 1990s. “They ran the Fritz Lang classic ‘Metropolis,’ a 1927 sci-fi that I had never seen. I fi gured I needed to see it once in my life, so I set the VCR to record it at midnight.” He watched it the next morning and was enchant- ed by the epic work of cinema from the legendary German director. But there was one problem. “It had this dreadful musical score that sounded like it came from a Laurel and Hardy comedy, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fi lm,” Schaaf says. “I told myself, ‘I can do better than this.’” And he did. Schaaf, who fi rst began composing music as a Marquette High School student and later while studying English and electrical engineering at Pur- due University, penned a score for “Metropolis.” Un- Sherri Waddle-Cummings infuses emotion into her dialogue for the fi lm.

Última part d’una obra, en la qual es refereixen fets posteriors als recollits o reflexions relacionades amb el seu tema central. 3. m. p. us. Conjunt o compendi. Real Academia Española: Diccionario de la lengua española, 23. ª ed. 1 L’epíleg és la part final d’una obra. El recull final d’un discurs anterior. Volíem explicar-vos en paper, com a regal, la que ha estat segura- ment la temporada més difícil de la història del Teatre Lliure. Epíleg és l’exercici escrit de l’autocrítica necessària i compartida volent deixar constància d’allò que hem fet durant la temporada 20/21 i creant re- flexió al voltant del paral·lelisme temporal artístic i social per, d’alguna manera, arribar a valorar plegats l’impacte i el retorn rebuts durant tota aquesta pandèmia mundial. Ho fem amb totes les veus que han participat en la construcció d’aquesta reflexió des d’un bocí del seu univers artístic. Hem viscut en una pandèmia mundial aquest últim any... una pandè- mia que ha fet tancar tots els teatres del món. Però el Lliure, en canvi, ha continuat obert sempre que ha pogut. Ficant-nos per les escletxes ens hem arriscat per ampliar certs marges que semblaven impossi- bles de superar. Amb Epíleg compartim també l’esforç artístic i humà fet, desmesurat en tots els sentits. És cert que no en tenim distància, perquè encara estem vivint la disrupció..
