Last year we played to over 30,000 admissions including nearly 8,000 young people attending our Theatre for Young Audiences series and the special production of A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline at the Lincoln Theatre in Decatur. This winter we "hit the road" with a murder mystery dinner theatre presentation that we took to Casey, Effingham, Kaskaskia Country ClubLb,Litchfield, Mattoon, Paris (Illinois). Stoney's Restaurant in Dalton City and the Sullivan Country Club. Special thanks goes to Consolidated Communications for giving us a grant to underwrite the costs of that project. It was a huge success and we hope to continue to provide this type of entertainment to towns throughout our myket area. Our long range plans for physical plant improvements include upgrading the air con- ditioning in the theatre and installing a heating system so we can bqin programming throughout the year instead of during summer months only. We continue to look for funds to bring this to reality. Unfortunately, the current attitudes of government units complicates the funding picture for the arts. We are proud of the quality of our productions and promise that we will continue to work hard to justify the faith you have shown us by being here for this performance. Sincerely, +a.

    Musical Theatre Scene Study (Sections II, III) Syllabus: 2018-19 Oakland School for the Arts – School of Theatre Instructor: Mr. Travisano Class Location: Room 202 Instructor Contact: [email protected] Class Meeting Times: Tues (Periods 7, 8) & Thurs (Period 7) Instructor Office Hours: lunch/after school _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT THE COURSE In this course we’ll explore methods and historical practice of musical theatre dating from the so-called Golden Age of the 1950s to next generation of musical creators who begin to push the genre in a new direction in the 1970s (creating what are referred to as “concept musicals”). Through a close examination of specific musicals you’ll gain an in depth knowledge of the acting theories and techniques required to create fully-realized characters. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of musical theatre performance by directing, choreographing, and performing scenes from musicals of this period. Based on student feedback, in this course we’ll focus more intently on acting as a component of the art of musical theatre performance. We’ll explore non-musicals from this period as the basis for exercises in theory and practice. In fact, we’ll begin the year in this particular section with an intensive acting workshop around the work of Tennessee Williams. As we align with CTE (Career Technical Education, Performing Arts Pathway Standards B.1-6) throughout this course we’ll think about how you can apply what you learn in this class to what you can expect in a career or in college. You’ll do frequent observations and critiques of each other’s work and the work of established professionals from whom we can all learn.

The Temple Tracker, that pioneering computer system developed by Ellen Franklin for use at -Temple Emanu-El, is buzzing away, sheet after sheet rolling neatly off the printer. Shelley Weinstein, Emanu-El's new administrator who has just completed seven months on the job, sits in front of me, folds his hands on the desk and smiles. He has to catch his breath for a minute. The smile is fresh and invigorating. He is in the eye of a storm of activity at Rhode Island's largest Conservative synagogue and he loves it.
