  • Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum the Cold War Through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum NEH Summer Institute Proposal
    NEH Summer Institute for Teachers: The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum/ Project Narrative Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum NEH Summer Institute Proposal, Summer 2020 Project Director: Dr. Lynda Kennedy Introduction The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Education Department proposes a two-week Summer Institute for classroom teachers from July 20 to July 31, 2020. The Institute, previously offered in Summer 2018, embodies the principles of the NEH Standing Together initiative through the use of two historic sites—the former U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark, and the former U.S. submarine, Growler, a unique artifact that represents the technology and tensions of the Cold War. These historic sites, along with the oral histories of the men that served on these vessels, will provide a powerful starting point for examining the history and legacy of Cold War technology. The Cold War through the Collections of the Intrepid Museum will immerse teachers in scholarly historical research as well as the history, artifacts and oral histories in the Museum’s collection that embody the Cold War era. Integrating content exploring the historical context of technological innovation, the Institute will serve a national group of 25 high school history and science teachers in order to deepen their understanding and increase confidence in their ability to explore the subject thoroughly, critically and engagingly with their students. Dr. Lynda Kennedy, vice president of education and evaluation for the Intrepid Museum, will serve as a Project Director for the Institute.

    David Rabe’s Good for Otto Gets Star Studded Cast With F. Murray Abraham, Ed Harris, Mark Linn-Baker, Amy Madigan, Rhea Perlman and More t2conline.com/david-rabes-good-for-otto-gets-star-studded-cast-with-f-murray-abraham-ed-harris-mark-linn-baker-amy- madigan-rhea-perlman-and-more/ Suzanna January 30, 2018 Bowling F. Murray Abraham (Barnard), Kate Buddeke (Jane), Laura Esterman (Mrs. Garland), Nancy Giles (Marci), Lily Gladstone (Denise), Ed Harris (Dr. Michaels), Charlotte Hope (Mom), Mark Linn- Baker (Timothy), Amy Madigan (Evangeline), Rileigh McDonald (Frannie), Kenny Mellman (Jerome), Maulik Pancholy (Alex), Rhea Perlman (Nora) and Michael Rabe (Jimmy), will lite up the star in the New York premiere of David Rabe’s Good for Otto. Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.

Our dedication to excellence, commitment to cultural heritage, and emphasis on craftsmanship has enabled hundreds of theaters to bring entertainment and beauty back to their original splendor. ALTRIA THEATER, RICHMOND THEATER PORTFOLIO RESEARCH & INVESTIGATION Historic restoration and conservation projects begin with research, investigation, testing, and analysis.
