  • For Immediate Release: Capitol Theatre and Headcount Offer Scholarships for Local Teachers to Attend Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CAPITOL THEATRE AND HEADCOUNT OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS FOR LOCAL TEACHERS TO ATTEND ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM SUMMER TEACHER INSTITUTE The Capitol Theatre has set aside its very best seats for a charitable program to send area schoolteachers to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for a week of intensive curriculum training. Concertgoers can bid on the coveted Presidential Box—four seats directly overlooking the stage—for most events at the historic Theatre, including recent performances by B.B. King, The Black Crowes, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Drive-By Truckers, Phish's Trey Anastasio, and Furthur's 9-show sold-out run kicking off this week. Proceeds from each Box auction will directly fund scholarships to the Rock Hall's Summer Teacher Institute. The scholarships are part of the "Capitol Community" program that the Theatre runs in partnership with the non-profit organization HeadCount and are open to fulltime educators at accredited learning institutions in Westchester (NY) and Fairfield (CT) counties. Winners will be awarded the full cost of tuition, and in some cases also have their travel and lodging costs covered. Additional funds from the auctions will also be directed to charities selected by artists appearing at the Cap. "Each Presidential Box auction is a chance for an individual to directly support education in the area," says HeadCount executive director Andy Bernstein. "And by bringing rock history into classrooms, we’ll be opening kids’ minds in a whole new way.” More information, including a list of current auctions and the scholarship application, can be found at http://www.thecapitoltheatre.com/capitolcommunity.

  • Screening Schedule
    Manfred Kirchheimer February 3 – 11 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Screening Schedule Claw. 1968. Manhattan’s old facades are a cornucopia of carved flora and fauna: craggy stone faces of satyrs and saints, herms, griffins, and medieval troubadours peering down at unsuspecting passerby. Kirchheimer juxtaposes this handcrafted masonry with the restless compulsion of the modern city to rise ever upwards, the jowls of a massive crane laying waste to what once stood proud. 30 min. Stations of the Elevated. 1981. Though it’s taken some 30 years, Kirchheimer’s Stations of the Elevated is now hailed as a classic of proto-hip-hop filmmaking, a plein air study of New York’s graffiti- festooned subway cars as they lumber and screech over elevated tracks in the Bronx and beyond. Set to a sampled soundtrack of Charles Mingus jazz spliced with Aretha Franklin gospel, the film is an “inner” city symphony, a celebration of the brash and defiantly anti-capitalist talents of outlaw paint- bombers like Lee Quiñones, The Fabulous 5, Shadow, Daze, Kase, and Pusher. 45 min. Friday, February 3, 4:30 p.m. T2 Tuesday, February 7, 8:00 p.m. T2 My Coffee with Jewish Friends. 2017. MoMA presents the world premiere of Kirchheimer’s latest film, a humorous and illuminating series of coffee klatches with 20 friends that proves the old adage, “Where you have two Jews, you have three opinions.” Ranging in age from 18 to 85, and in experience from greenhorn to Pulitzer-Prize winner, the film’s subjects kibitz over all manner of concern, from Israel to tight pants, gay rights, and the place of women at the Wailing Wall.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts DOCUMENTARY POETRY AND AMERICAN MODERNISM FROM THE DEPRESSION TO WORLD WAR 2 A Dissertation in English by Julius Lobo © 2011 Julius Lobo Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2011 ii The dissertation of Julius Lobo was reviewed and approved* by the following: Robin Schulze Head of the Department of English Professor of English Dissertation Co-Adviser Mark Morrisson Director of Graduate Studies Professor of English and of Science, Technology, and Society Dissertation Co-Adviser Aldon Nielsen Kelly Professor of American Literature Jeffrey T. Nealon Liberal Arts Research Professor of English John Marsh Assistant Professor of English Adam Rome Associate Professor of History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract This dissertation argues that American modernist poets sought out and incorporated innovations from documentary film, photography, and traditions of testimonial witness in an effort to create poetry that could engage and respond to contemporary political and social issues. Documentary art and media dominated American mass culture between the Depression and World War 2, and poets seized upon the cultural authority and semblance of objectivity that documentary provided for their work. Recent scholars have recognized the importance of documentary to American modernist art and literature, yet the productive relationship between documentary and American modernist poetry has been overlooked. This thesis will show that documentary poetics is essentially an interdisciplinary practice, borrowing and adapting developments from film and photography in order to shape a variety of source materials. American documentary poets also experimented with a myriad of primary resources, ranging from presidential letters, legal reports, government hearings, historical and political texts, and eyewitness accounts, while simultaneously experimenting with poetic form and arrangement.
