  • The WKNO-TV Collection
    The Theatre Memphis Programs Collection Processed by Joan Cannon 2007 Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public Library and Information Center 3030 Poplar Avenue Memphis, Tennessee 38111 Scope and Content The Theatre Memphis Programs Collection was donated to the Memphis Public Library and Information Center by many individual donors over several years. Consisting of programs from performances at Theatre Memphis between the years 1975 and 2007, the collection provides invaluable information on the operation of community theatre in Memphis. Each program includes the names of the director, cast and crew as well as information on the production. Theatre Memphis was established as the Little Theatre in 1921. For several years plays were performed in a variety of locations in Memphis including Germania Hall and the Nineteenth Century Club. In 1929 the Little Theatre was headquartered at the Pink Palace Museum Playhouse where they would remain until the mid-1970s. When the Pink Palace closed for renovations, the theatrical company opened their own venue on Perkins Extended in East Memphis. Changing their name to Theatre Memphis, productions resumed in 1975 and have continued until the present day. 2 THEATRE MEMPHIS PROGRAMS COLLECTION BOX 1 Folder 1 Items 6 1975-1976 (56th Season) SUNSHINE BOYS by Neil Simon.

  • Connections SPRING 2018
    SEATTLE PARKS FOUNDATION Connections SPRING 2018 Accessible and Inclusive Parks: Eli’s Park Project and Cayton Corner Park Show What’s Possible Parenting her young son Eli, who was born with Down syndrome, was both a joy and a revelation for Paige Reischl. “It just expanded my thinking about inclusion and what it means to be included,” says Reischl. “We met families who have kids with disabilities and parents of typically developing kids who have chosen that school because they believe in inclusion. It’s a compassionate group of people who are making sure their children have interactions with a diverse group of people.” A remarkably open and loving child, Eli was almost four years old when the family lost him in August 2017. Soon after, Eli’s family and the community that rallied around them launched Eli’s Park Project at Burke-Gilman Playground in Seattle’s Bryant neighborhood. The project aims to create an “inclusive, nature-based park space where people of all ages and abilities can find play and peace,” according to Reischl. “We thought, ‘Let’s keep this spirit of inclusion alive.’” The park is close to Seattle Children’s Hospital and connected by a footpath to the Burke-Gilman Trail and Ronald McDonald House. Nearby are the PROVAIL Apartments for adults with disabilities, two other affordable housing developments, and an inclusive preschool. But the park is not accessible to many of the people who live in or frequent the area, says Reischl. The play area is covered in wood chips, the grassy field is prone to swampiness, sightlines are obscured, and there is no barrier to busy Sand Point Way.

  • February, 2013 Issue #54 History Preserved in December the Truckee Donner Land Trust Closed Escrow on Almost 3000 Acres of Donner Summit Magnificence
    February, 2013 issue #54 History Preserved In December the Truckee Donner Land Trust closed escrow on almost 3000 acres of Donner Summit magnificence. It is called the Royal Gorge Acquisition because it includes the Royal Gorge cross country ski area. The red in the map below shows the acquisition. The blue is Forest Service land so you can see the extent of what is now contiguous public open space. The darker red area shows land owned by Sugar Bowl which is being traded for Summit Station, the cross country headquarters. Sugar Bowl is now running Royal Gorge. The area is rich. Recreational opportunities abound. There is mountain biking, lepidoptery, bird watching, hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing, and photography. But that's not our story in this edition of the Heirloom. The area is also biologically rich. More than a hundred species of birds visit. There are 115 species of butterflies, 16 species of amphibians, 500 species of plants, and dozens of species of mammals (including a beaver that just took up residence in 2012). But that's not our story either. It's the History The land includes the most important historical area on Donner Summit and maybe the entire Western United States, Summit Valley, or Van Norden Meadow. That is our story for this edition of the Heirloom and that is what is within the green oval on the map. Native Americans visited Summit Valley for thousands of years leaving behind their grinding rocks, metates (large grinding slicks), cupules (small depressions in rock possibly of mystical significance), stone flakes, and petroglyphs.
