    J OHN F . A NDREWS OBE JOHN F. ANDREWS is an editor, educator, and cultural leader with wide experience as a writer, lecturer, consultant, and event producer. From 1974 to 1984 he enjoyed a decade as Director of Academic Programs at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY. In that capacity he redesigned and augmented the scope and appeal of SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY, supervised the Library’s book-publishing operation, and orchestrated a period of dynamic growth in the FOLGER INSTITUTE, a center for advanced studies in the Renaissance whose outreach he extended and whose consortium grew under his guidance from five co-sponsoring universities to twenty-two, with Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, Virginia, and Yale among the additions. During his time at the Folger, Mr. Andrews also raised more than four million dollars in grant funds and helped organize and promote the library’s multifaceted eight- city touring exhibition, SHAKESPEARE: THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD, which opened in San Francisco in October 1979 and proceeded to popular engagements in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Between 1979 and 1985 Mr. Andrews chaired America’s National Advisory Panel for THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the BBC/TIME-LIFE TELEVISION canon.

  • Cal Poly Arts Brings Miami City Ballet to PAC Oct. 5 for Performance of "Coppelia"
    California Polytechnic State University Sept. 17, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LISA WOSKE (805) 756-7110 Cal Poly Arts Brings Miami City Ballet To PAC Oct. 5 For Performance of "Coppelia" SAN LUIS OBISPO – The light-hearted tale of star-crossed lovers and mistaken identities is exquisitely danced in “Coppelia,” the full-length comic ballet performed by Miami City Ballet on Tuesday, October 5, 2004 at the Christopher Cohan Center. Part of the Cal Poly Arts Great Performances Series, the 19th Century, Romantic era masterpiece of comedy is presented at a special 7 p.m. curtain time. “Coppelia” takes place in three acts and tells the story of two mischievous lovers who, on the eve of their nuptials, find their affection for each other surprisingly put to the test. The beloved classical ballet was first presented by the Paris Opera Ballet on May 2, 1870. The Miami City Ballet production captures the timeless beauty and sweet sensibilities of the classic story. The New Yorker magazine called Miami City Ballet “one of the most daring and rewarding of the younger companies now on the rise.” Founding Miami City Ballet Artistic Director Edward Villella was the first American-born male principal ballet stars of the New York City Ballet (1957-1975). His career is said to have established the male's role in classical dance in the U.S. Villella's vision and style for the Company is based on the neoclassical 20th-century aesthetic established by famed choreographer George Balanchine. The Company’s repertoire features 90 ballets -- including 38 world premieres -- ranging from Balanchine masterworks to pieces by contemporary choreographers such as Paul Taylor.
