Born with Down syndrome, Eli Harrington spent the first days of his life in intensive care. Three months later, he had major surgery to repair a defective heart. Then came treatment for severe seizures. Most recently, he underwent major skull surgery to correct a serious cranial condition. Highly skilled specialists at Seattle Children’s have saved Eli’s life more than once. Even with health insurance, the Harrington’s medical bills were overwhelming. Once again, Seattle Children’s was there to help—with financial relief through uncompensated care. Thousands of families benefit from the fund, which is supported by the generosity of everyday people like you. To learn more or donate, visit seattlechildrens.org/ways-to-help. Eli thanks you.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, January 24, 2012 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Non-Stop Music in Caroline, or Change by Pulitzer Prize Winner Tony Kushner and Tony Nominee Jeanine Tesori (Syracuse, NY)— Two powerhouses of the American theatre, playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Shrek: The Musical), join forces on a musical of startling creativity and refreshing originality (don’t be surprised when the washing machine starts to sing). A stellar cast led by Greta Oglesby delivers powerful vocals in this unconventional, through-composed musical, the recipient of six Tony nominations followed by the Olivier Award for Best Musical. The year is 1963—civil rights and Kennedy—and in the Gellman household in Lake Charles, Louisiana, eight-year-old Noah struggles with the loss of his mother, while Caroline, the family’s African American maid, struggles as a single Mom of four children. Through Caroline and Noah’s friendship, Kushner and Tesori explore thoughts on economic hardship and racial inequity that are relevant today as they were in the early 60s. Rich with humor, humanity and of course music—ranging from blues to gospel to traditional Jewish melodies—Caroline, or Change delivers a deep and uplifting message about change, in big ways and small. Running February 1—26, Caroline, or Change will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org.

  • The Understudy Draft 4
    The Understudy Cara Ehlenfeldt and Jason Cady Manhattan, 1970s ACT 1 RECITATIVE PAT DICKSON I have mixed emotions as I write this tale of Donna Pearlbottum’s final case. No, the esteemed private eye was not murdered. In our line of work, death is as common as the morning sun. But this story will shock you. We had just wrapped the celebrated case of the Bel Canto Mob family. Donna had a rental in Fire Island. Spring hadn’t reached New York, but she liked the off season. I asked if she planned to go alone, DONNA PEARLBOTTUM I’m taking Wittgenstein and Sophocles. PAT DICKSON Those were her kittens. I looked forward to a quiet week. I’d catch up on sleep and the scotch and sodas I had missed over the last month. At 5:00 I closed the Venetian blinds. But a man with bovine eyes and a Brooks Brothers suit rushed in. SFX: Door with hanging bells opens. PAT DICKSON I showed him the closed sign. RICH LEXINGTON Please! You got to help me. PAT DICKSON Donna, the most articulate private eye in the Lower East Side, had a lexicon that lacked the word “no.” She dropped her umbrella. I stubbed out my cigarette, and lit a fresh one. SFX: Cigarette lit. PAT DICKSON His name was Rich Lexington. He told his story, threw down a C-note, and we walked to his Cadillac. 2. SFX: Door. Rain. Footsteps. Car. PAT DICKSON He ran the Flat Iron Opera Company. It was your typical avant-garde theater.
