  • Meet the Spqitful Cast of the Sweet Potato Queens
    Meet The SPQitful Cast of The Sweet Potato Queens For Immediate Release February 23, 2016 Artwork: Logo Headshots are linked in bios Media Contacts: Lisa Holmes, Manager, Public Relations (713) 558-2654, [email protected] Laura Pettitt, Assistant Director, Marketing (713) 558-2653, [email protected] (HOUSTON) – TUTS Underground presents the world premiere of The Sweet Potato Queens in March 2016. This new musical is brought to the stage in partnership with writer Rupert Holmes (Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Music and Lyrics for The Mysteries of Edwin Drood), Grammy® Award- winning composer Melissa Manchester, and Oscar-nominated lyricist Sharon Vaughn. TUTS Underground not only brings a wider musical theatre experience to Houston, but also serves as a launchpad – giving the TUTS Underground audience first view of new, emerging works. Based on The New York Times best-selling series (with a cult following) The Sweet Potato Queens ® by author Jill Connor Browne, the musical version is loosely based on Browne’s life – showcasing the juxtaposition between her life before creating the larger-than-life character of a Sweet Potato Queen, and after. An uplifting, empowering tale of perseverance and following dreams, The Sweet Potato Queens reminds audiences that everyone deserves to be special. Susan Koozin stars as Queen Jill with Kathryn Porterfield in the role of Jackson Jill. Her friends – all named Tammy – are Christina Stroup as Floozie Tammy, Julia Krohn as Flower Tammy and, new to the TUTS Underground stage, Kerissa Arrington as Too Much Tammy. The rest of the cast includes Dylan Godwin as George, Adam Gibbs as Tyler, Theresa Nelson as Mama and Kevin Cooney as Daddy.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.

  • Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes Was Born
    11. Name: Rupert Holmes Years: February 24, 1947 – Present Residence: Nanuet, New York Brief Biography: Rupert Holmes was born under the name David Goldstein in Northwich, Cheshire, England. His father was an American army officer and his mother was an English woman. His family was musically inclined, evidenced by his father being a band leader and his brother growing up to be an opera singer. His family relocated after a few years to Nanuet, New York, where Holmes grew up and attended nearby Nyack High School. After graduating, Holmes went on to study at the Manhattan School of Music where he majored in clarinet. He married in 1969 to Elizabeth Dreifuss, whom he had three children with. In his twenties, Holmes was a session musician (composing, playing, and recording) and worked with groups such as The Cuff Links, The Buoys, and The Archies. It was at this time that he made his first appearances on the billboard charts. He went on to be a recording artist in his own right by 1974. His work was noticed by Barbra Streisand and was utilized in the movie A Star Is Born. "Escape" debuted on Holmes' fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1979 becoming the last number one song of the 1970s. A number of his songs such as “Town Square” and “Terminal,” directly or indirectly reference where he grew up around Nyack. He wrote a single for The Jets called "You Got It All" which was later rerecorded by Britney Spears in 2000. Holmes also went on to become a playwright with plays such as The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the Tony Award-nominated ("Best Play 2003") Say Goodnight, Gracie, and musical theatre version of the film The First Wives Club.
