  • Broadway's Smash Hit Beautiful – the Carole King Musical Makes Its
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Broadway’s smash hit Beautiful – The Carole King Musical makes its Worcester premiere September 26-29 Worcester, Mass. (September 9, 2019) The Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning Broadway hit Beautiful—The Carole King Musical, about the early life and career of the legendary and groundbreaking singer/songwriter, will make its Worcester premiere at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts Thursday, September 26 - Sunday, September 29, locally sponsored by Fidelity Investments. Tickets are on sale now. “Carole King might be a native New Yorker, but her story of struggle and triumph is as universal as they come, and her music is loved the world over,” producer Paul Blake said. “I am thrilled that Beautiful continues to delight and entertain audiences around the globe, in England, Japan and Australia and that we are entering our fifth amazing year of touring the US. We are so grateful that over five million audience members have been entertained by our celebration of Carole's story and her timeless music.” With a book by Tony® and Academy® Award-nominee Douglas McGrath and direction by Marc Bruni and choreography by Josh Prince, Beautiful features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil. The show opened on Broadway at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in January 2014, where it has since broken all box office records and became the highest grossing production in the Theatre’s history. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Beautiful – The Carole King Musical (Ghostlight Records) won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and is available on CD, digitally, and on vinyl.

  • The "Stars for Freedom" Rally
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail The "Stars for Freedom" Rally March 24,1965 The "March to Montgomery" held the promise of fulfilling the hopes of many Americans who desired to witness the reality of freedom and liberty for all citizens. It was a movement which drew many luminaries of American society, including internationally-known performers and artists. In a drenching rain, on the fourth day, March 24th, carloads and busloads of participants joined the march as U.S. Highway 80 widened to four lanes, thus allowing a greater volume of participants than the court- imposed 300-person limitation when the roadway was narrower. There were many well-known celebrities among the more than 25,000 persons camped on the 36-acre grounds of the City of St. Jude, a Catholic social services complex which included a school, hospital, and other service facilities, located within the Washington Park neighborhood. This fourth campsite, situated on a rain-soaked playing field, held a flatbed trailer that served as a stage and a host of famous participants that provided the scene for an inspirational performance enjoyed by thousands on the dampened grounds. The event was organized and coordinated by the internationally acclaimed activist and screen star Harry Belafonte, on the evening of March 24, 1965. The night "the Stars" came out in Alabama Mr. Belafonte had been an acquaintance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. since 1956. He later raised thousands of dollars in funding support for the Freedom Riders and to bailout many protesters incarcerated during the era, including Dr.

  • Reviews: Baby It's Cold Outside
    Reviews: Baby It’s Cold Outside Chris Pasin, trumpet; Patricia Dalton Fennell, vocals; Armen Donelian, piano; Ira Coleman, bass; Rich Syracuse, bass; Peter Einhorn, guitar; Jeff Siegel, drums Today’s Deep Roots Christmas Pick. December 20, 2017: Chris Pasin and Friends – ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ Deep Roots, David McGee Here’s a holiday outing that should satisfy traditionalists and adventurous spirits alike, a true rarity. Trumpeter/flugelhorn master Chris Pasin, whose resume includes several years touring as a soloist with Buddy Rich and backing giants on the order of Sinatra, Torme, Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, Ray Charles and Tony Bennett, as well crafting his own projects with some of New York’s finest jazz players, has brought some Gotham friends together, along with upstate New York-based vocalist Patricia Dalton Fennell (in a dual role as vocalist and producer), and given the holiday season the scintillating Baby It’s Cold Outside. For those more interested in new insights into seasonal warhorses, Pasin and friends offer a five-and-a- half-minute journey through “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” featuring discursive solos by Pasin on trumpet and pianist Armen Donelian, as well as a tasty drum-and-bass dialogue between Jeff Siegel and Ira Coleman, respectively, plus a couple of nice tempo changes for added texture. Similarly, “We Three Kings of Orient Are” is almost unrecognizable when Pasin soars into upper register impressionistic flurries before giving way to Donelian skittering across the keys and taking the melody line into uncharted waters over the course of six-and-a-half minutes.

  • Reflections of the Class of 1971
    Reflections of the Class of 1971 By Tom Lashnits ‘71 It was a turbulent time. The Vietnam War. The Draft Lottery. Black Power. Women’s Lib, Kent State. And Closing Down the College And the personal recollections . During our four years, the Protest Tree was filled with signs and comments about the pros and cons of coeducation (and a lot of other issues like the Vietnam War.) The Class of 1971 was the first in the 200+ year history of the college to truly enjoy the benefits of co-education, beginning in our Junior Year. It was approved by the Board of Trustees and in the Fall of 1969, about 100 women showed up on campus and lived in Marshall Hall. Approximately 40 women graduated in our class. The odds on campus were 18 men to 1 woman and there would often be only one woman in a class! Lots of adjustments were made to the physical buildings, rules and policies, social atmosphere, extra-curricular groups, and the dating scene (Little Sisters initiated into Phi Sigma Kappa). How many of us studied, or napped, on the comfortable couches in the Reading Room of Fackenthal Library? Ray Zuschlag took freshman Bio (an 8:00 a.m. class!) and learned the genus and species name of every tree on campus by Dr. Shively reciting the names of all trees passed during periodic walking tours throughout campus. History classes with Dr. Thurman (Pall Mall) Philoon, an entertaining lecturer who did amazing things with his Phi Beta Kappa key. Prof. Robert Russell died recently.

  • Clayton Cameron
    Clayton Cameron Clayton Cameron has a dynamic career that has already crossed many barriers in the world of music. From Sammy Davis Jr. to Tony Bennett, Clayton continues to push the envelope of contemporary drumming and brushes to their very limits. After the release of the 1990 video, “The Living Art of Brushes” Clayton has been given the honorary title “Brush Mas- ter”. Since the release of this ground breaking video Clayton has noticed a wonderful reaction from the drumming com- munity, “It’s been wonderful watching the growing interest in this art form. I never thought that my rhythmic tapping on empty oatmeal boxes would lead to such a distinction as Brush Master. My parents always thought I just loved oatmeal for breakfast. The fact is I knew the sooner I emptied the box...the sooner I’d have another cardboard drum.” Born in Los Angeles, California Clayton began playing bongos at the age of seven. By age twelve his fascination with drums became so apparent his parents decided to buy him his first drum set and sent Clayton to music school for drum lessons. “I guess they tired of my oatmeal box drumming as much as I tired of eating those hearty oats every morning.” Clayton went on to get a degree in music from California State University at Northridge. During college, he played in clubs around L.A behind artists who were mentors to him. They included vocalist O.C Smith, Ernie Andrews, Jimmy Weatherspoon, instrumentalist Teddy Edwards, Larry Gails( of Thelonious Monk fame) and Gerald Wilson.
