  • Playing Every Day on Sesame Street Global Learnings from a Play-Based Pilot Intervention in India, Mexico, and South Africa • Kim Foulds and Abby Bucuvalas
    Playing Every Day on Sesame Street Global Learnings from a Play-Based Pilot Intervention in India, Mexico, and South Africa • Kim Foulds and Abby Bucuvalas Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children. Adult guidance of this play in meaningful ways can unlock the transformative power of education. Lack of knowledge about guided play, however, often leads to children growing up without opportunities to learn through play. Considering this, the authors analyze findings from the pilot phases of Play Every Day, an intervention based in urban communities in India, Mexico, and South Africa. This program is designed to shift the perceptions of care givers about play and its relationship to child development and to allow them to guide children in learning through play. The authors describe the program’s intent to contribute to global knowledge of best practices for promoting playful learning. They discuss developing a global framework and contextualizing its delivery to empower care givers as ambassadors of learning through play in young children’s lives. Key words: guided play; Play Every Day project; play in India; play in Mexico; play in South Africa; scaffolding play; Sesame Workshop It is well established that play is an integral component of early- childhood development . Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children and lay the foundations for them to become creative, engaged, lifelong learners. Thus, play constitutes an important part of a child’s daily routine, an often underused space in which valuable teaching and learning can take place (Brooker 2013, Kelly-Vance 2008).

  • A Bronx Tale
    A Bronx Tale Synopsis A Bronx Tale, a new musical set in the early 1960s, is based on the autobiographical play written by Chazz Palminteri. It tells the coming-of-age story of Calogero Anello, a young boy from a working class family who finds himself caught between his loving father and a charismatic mob boss. In Act One, Calogero witnesses Sonny, the mob boss, murdering someone right in front of his house on Belmont Avenue; Calogero covers for Sonny when questioned by the NYPD. Calogero’s father, Lorenzo, who is an MTA bus driver, wants to instill a strong sense of right and wrong in his son, but Calogero goes against his father’s wishes. After Sonny is released by the police with no charges against him, he takes Calogero under his wing and helps him get involved with the “glamorous” world of organized crime. Sometime later, Calogero is all grown up and a full prodigy of Sonny, but his father has no idea he has continued to see Sonny. Calogero has also developed a group of Italian- American friends that Sonny thinks is a bad influence over him and encourages Calogero to stick to his schoolwork. Calogero meets an African-American girl, Jane, on Webster Avenue which is a very different side of the Bronx than where Calogero lives. He asks his father for advice on what he should do when he and Jane go on a date. Calogero’s father doesn’t exactly approve of him going out with Jane because he is concerned for his son’s safety, considering the high racial tensions on the time period, but Lorenzo still gives him advice.

  • DOGFIGHT (Ein Hässliches Spiel)
    DOGFIGHT (Ein hässliches Spiel) Genre: Musical Autoren: Musik und Songtexte von Benj Pasek und Justin Paul Buch von Peter Duchan Nach dem Warner Bros. Film und Drehbuch von Bob Comfort Deutsche Fassung von Daniel Große Boymann Inhalt: Es ist der 21. November 1963. Am Vorabend ihrer Entsendung in einen noch wenig bedeutenden militärischen Konflikt in Südostasien, feiern drei junge Rekruten eine wilde Nacht. Sie schließen eine ebenso übermütige wie grausame Wette ab, den "Dogfight". Aufgabe bei dieser Wette: Wer schleppt das hässlichste Mädchen ab? Auf der Suche nach einer Hässlichen trifft Eddie auf Rose, eine unbeholfene, aber idealistische Kellnerin. Aber Rose schreibt die Spielregeln dieser Wette um und zeigt Eddie, was echte Liebe bewirken kann. DOGFIGHT wurde anlässlich der Off-Broadway-Aufführungsserie im Sommer 2012 mit zwei renommierten Musicalpreisen - dem Richard Rodgers Award und dem Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical - ausgezeichnet. Das Stück zeigt die hässliche Seite männlichen Benehmens ebenso wie ihr Gegenteil, denn trotz aller Rauheit fehlt nicht die berührende Liebesgeschichte. Die Deutschsprachige Erstaufführung dieses berührenden Musical der beiden Oscar Preisträger Pasek & Paul fand am Theater für Niedersachsen in Hildesheim statt. Das Popmusical, das neben mitreisenden Uptempo-Nummern durch sehr gefühlvolle Balladen besticht, lief dort erfolgreich zwei Spielzeiten. Vom Team Pasek & Paul ist auch das Musical EDGES bei Musik und Bühne verfügbar.

    A WORD FROM THE PRODUCERS Michael Holzer Jacque Carnahan One year ago, we came together at the Gershwin Theatre for the very first Arts for Autism concert. Dozens of Broadway actors joined more than 150 young performers to take part in a show that inspired, educated and entertained us. It was uplifting to see so many passionate artists collaborate to raise awareness, encourage acceptance and to celebrate the power of the arts. We also witnessed the Broadway debut of Gina Hitsos, a young singer with autism who found her voice through the magic of music. There was an infectious feeling of love, excitement and optimism as everyone left the theatre that night. After a year of planning and projects we are back! We have many new and exciting developments since last June. After debuting a special arrangement of “Defying Gravity” in last year’s concert, we released a music video to share the beautiful message with an even wider audience. In February, we ventured out to the Ice Plant Recording studios in Queens with three former Broadway Elphabas from Wicked to reimagine the song we know and love. You can find the video on our website at ArtsForAutism.net. In May, we joined Autism Speaks at MetLife Stadium for the Northern New Jersey Walk. We were thrilled to be there and show our support. Jacque and our talented musicians serenaded and entertained the walkers; it was wonderful to see firsthand the positive impact that music can have. Now it’s June, and here we are again at the Gershwin Theatre.
