The 2018-19 season is a historic one for us, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Pantages Theater. The theater will reopen in November after extensive renovations, including a center aisle and new seats. Keep an eye out for additional LISA MONET PHOTOGRAPHY announcements and surprises, as we get closer to the grand opening celebration. We are launching the season with a special presentation of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition. The only stop in the northwest, this installation showcases the brilliance of arguably one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements; bringing meticulous, life-size prints of the paintings to eye-level, you will find yourself closer to the artwork than ever before—a better view up close than what you'll see in Italy! September also welcomes the Chinese Warriors of Peking to the Rialto Theater, with their martial arts and acrobatic feats, in an evening that’s fun for the whole family. Then We Banjo 3 and Skerryvore perform their unique celtic-bluegrass music—bringing toe-tapping Americana, rock, and traditional Scottish and Irish music to the stage. Finally, we celebrate Halloween with the Disney favorite, Hocus Pocus. We believe that live events, as the pulse of the city, radiate a vital, joyful, transformative energy. We look forward to welcoming you to experiencing art, community, and life together in vibrant downtown Tacoma. MEET OUR PHILANTHROPY TEAM!

Built on a block that was once the site of a saloon, Tacoma's first library, and Tacoma's first department store, it was the fifth theater added to Tacoma’s thriving Theater District. Businessman and theater mogul Alexander Pantages built the first Tacoma Pantages Theater at the corner of 9th and Pacific. continued on page 10 6 BROADWAY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS encoremediagroup.com/programs 7 REINVENTING THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Behind our mission is a strategy, a set of ideals that are challenging the performing arts to be more relevant, dynamic, and energizing for our community.

Without their contributions, this experience would not have been what it has been. More could be said on this score but, to quote the Devil (whose advice I should have followed from the outset): "Mach es kurz! Am Juengsten Tag ist's nur ein F--z!" So I'll "make it short." I owe special thanks to Dr. Birgitta Wohl, who initially persuaded me that higher education is worthwhile; who expressed unfailing interest in my ideas and progress; and who, throughout, has provided a unique living example of wide learning and humanistic scholarship. Finally, this thesis could not have been written without the ever prompt, ever courteous services of the CSUN Library Inter-Library Loan Department.

  • Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence
    Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence Ventura and Niccolò Monachi, Chancellors of Florence (1340-48/1348-75) by Leah Faibisoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Leah Faibisoff 2018 ii Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence Ventura and Niccolò Monachi, Chancellors of Florence (1340-48/1348-75) Leah Faibisoff Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation studies the chancery of the Florentine Republic by examining the administrative offices that constituted the institution and some of the notary-administrators who held principal positions within it. The scholarship on Florentine government often presupposes the existence of some kind of permanent bureaucratic workforce that provided stability for the city’s system of amateur, short-term political office. My dissertation instead suggests that the susceptibility to change in Florentine government extended also to its administrative organization. It can be found at the level of institutional dynamics, but it was also experienced by chancery officials themselves who continually had to negotiate the forces of instability in the performance of their duties, ultimately affecting their attitudes towards their work. The first half of this dissertation considers the institutional dynamics of impermanence within the chancery through an examination and description of the three main offices of the institution during the republican period: the notary of the priors, the notary of legislation, and the chancellor. The main contention of this section is that within the institution of the chancery there was an apparent tension between the semi-permanent, rationalizing force of a very few administrative agents and the impermanent destabilizing force of hundreds of administrative agents who cycled through the chancery.

It’s April 17th, 2012. And today, we’re going to have an interview with James Rosenquist. Jim, would you introduce yourself? JR: No. [Laughing] My name is James Rosenquist, and I’m here, and I’m a painter with, sort of, a long history with this institution. LD: Yeah, that’s actually a great place to begin, Jim. When was the first time that you had contact? JR: Well, that’s back in 1961. Alfred Barr and Lilly Bliss came to my studio. I think, maybe with Phillip Johnson, but I don’t remember. LD: Dorothy Miller? JR: No. LD: Lilly Bliss? Oral History: J Rosenquist - Page 1 of 80 2 JR: And then, they came, and I had a big painting called Silver Skies. And Alfred says, “How are we supposed to look at this? Are we supposed to stand up close, or are we supposed to stand back, or...?” And so they looked at it, and they left, and then they said can we -- well, they said, “Can we come back?”, and I said, “Sure, I don’t care.” Because from my experience in commercial art, people were always looking over my shoulder while I was painting, anyways.
