PRESS RELEASE for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, November 16, 2011 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 Or Pjfinlon@Syr.Edu PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, November 16, 2011 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] A Fantastical, Musical Adventure for the Holidays in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Syracuse, NY)— London. The war is on and the bombs are falling. Four children – Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy – flee the perils of the Blitz to the safety of the countryside. In an old wardrobe they discover a portal to the land of Narnia, where a fearsome White Witch holds the inhabitants spellbound in a winter lasting 100 years. There the children enter a deadly struggle, joining with the great lion, Aslan, to battle the White Witch and her army. Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and rarely produced State-side, this thrilling musical adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ inspiring tale delivers excitement for the whole family. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Running November 25 through December 31, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (LWW) will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street. It is co-produced with Syracuse University’s Department of Drama. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org. Sponsors are Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, HSBC, Hiscock & Barclay, and Residence Inn Marriott. Media sponsors are Eagle Newspapers, Syracuse.com, WAER, and WCNY. Syracuse Stage’s 2011-2012 season sponsor is The Post-Standard. Dramatized by Adrian Mitchell (poet, novelist and playwright) with music composed by Shaun Davey (Tony nomination for James Joyce’s The Dead), LWW will be directed by Linda Hartzell, who directed the show twice for Seattle Children’s Theatre, where she has served as Artistic Director for 27 years. “I love epic, timeless, ageless stories,” said Hartzell, who believes the highly theatrical nature of the production holds an appeal that will be gratifying for all ages. “There’s a lot of theatrical magic in here with some incredible puppets, a sleigh that moves across the stage, and if not sleight of hand, huge appearances and disappearances that work on stage.” The 27 member cast includes professionals from around the country and SU Drama students earning points towards membership in the Actors’ Equity Association. Professional cast members include Jordan Barbour as Aslan (last seen at Syracuse Stage in Rent), Stephen Cross as Maugrim and Rumblebuffin, Jacquelyn Piro Donovan as the White Witch, James Judy as Professor Kirk and Father Christmas, Eric Leviton as Beaver, and Jayne Muirhead as Mrs. Beaver and Mrs. Macready. From the 21 student cast members, four will perform as the Pavensie children: Marie Eife as Susan, Charlo Kirk as Edmund, Jenaha McLearn as Lucy, and Amos VanderPoel as Peter. 1 As one of Syracuse Stage’s largest productions to date, LWW requires full use of Stage’s resident shops to create the beauty and magic of Narnia. In the Scenery Construction Shop, over nine tons of counterweight will be used to support the flown in scenery and lights, two 5 horsepower motors will drive the automated scenery, and 6 pneumatic cylinders are used to control special effects. In the Costume Shop, technicians produced 75 costumes and 20 headpieces from fabrics that range from neoprene, foam, spandex, plastic, metal, weed whacker line, to wool and silk. In the Props Shop, all props were custom-built including large- scale items such as a stove, a fireplace, a throne, a chandelier made of steel and plexiglass, and a self-propelled Witch’s sledge. In addition, just for this production, Syracuse Stage has contracted a Master Puppet Builder who will bring to life various creatures of Narnia including an eagle, centaur, bat, squirrels, stretchy, and snozy bosch. A photo gallery of set models and costume renderings may be viewed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/syracusestage/sets/72157627927636043/. Musically, the show requires nine musicians playing keyboards, clarinet, bass clarinet, violin, flute, piccolo, recorder, percussion, trumpet, tenor horn, guitar and acoustic bass. Lush and symphonic, the songs borrow from traditional Irish music. Musical directing the show is Dianne Adams McDowell, whose previous Syracuse Stage credits include West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, and Little Women, among others. While there have been many adaptations of LWW including films and stage productions, the version seen at Syracuse Stage was created in 1998 for the Royal Shakespeare Company. It is regarded as one of the best adaptations, breaking all box office records when it debuted. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the first of seven books in C.S Lewis’ magical Chronicles of Narnia, published between 1950 and 1956, which includes Prince Caspian (1951), The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952), The Silver Chair (1953), The Horse and His Boy (1954), The Magician’s Nephew (1955), and The Last Battle (1956). The books have sold over 100 million copies and have been printed in over 40 languages, solidifying their place as one of the most significant series in the genres of fantasy and children’s literature. Director Linda Harzell believes the overarching context of the Pevensie children having to be sent to the country to escape the bombing of London offers a way for parents and children to explore the story together. “I think [Lewis] saw the need to write a story for parents and for children to say, ‘There are going to be tough times, there are going to be scary times, but we’re not going to be alone. You have to have resilience. You have to have hope.’” ONGOING SPECIAL EVENTS & PROGRAMS LIVE in the Sutton Series: Friday, December 2 following the 8:00 p.m. press opening night.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 600 S. Wilbur Ave. Syracuse, NY 13204 315.476.7441 Year | 1 www.arcon.org Think Big. Outsource Local. Creative, Innovative Supports and Services Dear Friends, Although 2017 presented challenges, we are pleased to say that, once again, Arc of Onondaga has many wonderful things to report. This past year forced us to sit down and reflect on what matters most; finding ways to operate more efficiently while continuing to provide the high-quality services and supports that people want. Our continued culture shift from caregiver to supporter took center stage as we began to design programs around what matters most to the individuals we serve and move away from standard programmatic options. Ellen Gutmaker Chris Centore Executive Director President of the Board We saw rate changes and cuts in several areas, increased examinations over meeting waiver requirements, decreased referrals to some of our long-standing programs, and lengthy openings in our residential homes due to OPWDD scrutiny over who can move. These changes forced us to examine all of the Board of Directors services we provide across the board to make sure we were utilizing all of our resources and capitalizing on the opportunities Chris Centore brought about by change. We saw a significant increase in the number of people supported through community hab, we opened President a supportive apartment setting for people desiring increased Gone are the days when programs were offered in self-contained, segregated independence, and we also assisted those we support from Chuck Seereiter environments; 2017 brought about new and innovative approaches to the services moving from an apartment setting to three smaller homes where First Vice President they can be better integrated in their community.

    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.

  • Great Expectations in Store for the Opening of the Syracuse Stage Season
    PRESS RELEASE Wednesday, October 5, 2016 CONTACT: Joanna Penalva, Marketing Manager 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Great Expectations in Store for the Opening of the Syracuse Stage Season Fast-paced, easy-to-understand take on the classic is sure to delight everyone from novices to Dickens devotees PRESENTING SPONSOR: SEASON SPONSORS: MEDIA SPONSORS: The Dorothy and Marshall Syracuse Media Group Central New York Business M. Reisman Foundation Destiny USA Journal Urban CNY SPONSORS: WAER Public Media M&T Bank Aloft Syracuse Inner Harbor SYRACUSE, NY –Syracuse Stage opens its 2016-2017 season with Charles Dickens’ classic Great Expectations. Adapted for the stage by Gale Childs Daly and directed by Michael Bloom, the production runs Oct. 19 – Nov. 6 at the Archbold Theatre in the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex, 820 E. Genesee Street. The story of Great Expectations traces the life of Pip, an orphan in 19th century England. From childhood through adulthood, he rises from poor beginnings as he aspires to be a gentleman. In a journey filled with kindness and cruelty, Pip comes to realize that an increase in wealth and status does not necessarily make a happy and fulfilled life. Daly’s foray into Great Expectations began when she was assigned to write a 45- minute stage adaptation of the book as part of an educational outreach tour. “I thought that was impossible,” says Daly of the task, “But I said okay.” The success of the outreach tour led to her writing the adaptation’s current two-act version, a project that took two years to complete.

Unfortunately to have a better Transit System than what we have now without a steep rise in fares depends on funding which has not been easy over the years. Light rail seems too expensive and permanent an option for a town with no population growth and for a time when technology is changing rapidly, making bus transit a potentially lower environmental impact and cost in the near future. (i.e. driverless electric buses might only be a decade away) Let's go with the best BRT system feasible for our size. Two additions to service not mentioned are also desirable: Can we add a bus between Cortland and Syracuse? Can we add a bus between Onondaga Hill and University Hill? With so much interaction between OCC and SU on the one hand and the Onondaga Hill medical facilities with the University Hill medical facilities, it seems ridiculous that someone has to switch buses downtown and spend a l-o-o-o-n-g time to get back and forth between the two hills.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, November 17, 2008 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, PR Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] The Santaland Diaries David Sedaris’ Witty Gem of a Lump of Coal By David Sedaris Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello Directed by Wendy Knox STORCH THEATRE at SYRACUSE STAGE Previews: December 2-4 Open: December 5 Close: January 4 (SYRACUSE, NY)—Based on essays by David Sedaris, this scathingly humorous story recounts Sedaris’ brief employment as Crumpet, an out-of-work-actor-turned-elf working in Macy’s Santaland. In an act of desperation, an unemployed writer finds himself trading in his dignity for red and white striped tights and a paycheck, while wittily revealing the true nature of the beast formerly known as Christmas. For mature elves only (mature middle school and up). Tickets are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office at 820 East Genesee Street, by telephone at 315-443-3275 or SyracuseStage.org. Running December 2 to January 4, the exclusive sponsor for The Santaland Diaries is Phoebe’s Restaurant & Coffee Lounge. Media sponsors are the Syracuse New Times and WAER 88.3. Syracuse Stage season sponsors are The Post-Standard and Time Warner Cable. 1 “This production is a great alternative holiday offering that breaks from tradition,” said Director Wendy Knox, Artistic Director and Founder of Frank Theatre. A huge Sedaris fan herself, Knox continued: “Sedaris’ wry and offbeat sense of humor will delight the audience and keep them captivated from beginning to end.” “Our approach will focus on the darker side of retail and consumerism,” said Scenic and Costume Designer Jessica Ford.
