The Temple Tracker, that pioneering computer system developed by Ellen Franklin for use at -Temple Emanu-El, is buzzing away, sheet after sheet rolling neatly off the printer. Shelley Weinstein, Emanu-El's new administrator who has just completed seven months on the job, sits in front of me, folds his hands on the desk and smiles. He has to catch his breath for a minute. The smile is fresh and invigorating. He is in the eye of a storm of activity at Rhode Island's largest Conservative synagogue and he loves it.

My Ohio visits with my sister, Pat, and my brother, Mike, and their families were filled with days of research, writing, and editing. They understood, and have continuously nurtured and cheered me on. My friends (and I wish I could name them all) have listened to, consoled, and encouraged me through many challenging moments, and celebrated with me in the happiest ones. My thesis committee generously provided the guidance I needed to see this project through. My patient and compassionate advisor, Dr. Kate McQuiston, spent countless hours wading through drafts, and consulting in person. Through her wisdom and writing expertise I was able to achieve far better results than I could have accomplished on my own. Dr. Abigail Fine provided perspectives, from the initial proposal through the final product, which changed the nature of my thesis, and greatly aided my writing process in general. In addition to his assistance with this project, Professor Laurence Paxton has guided me through two vocal performance degrees, and, as department chairperson, constantly looked after me during my thirteen years of learning.

  • An Eclectic Career
    1 2 BILL CASTELLINO AN ECLECTIC CAREER 16 SDC JOURNAL | WINTER 2016 INTERVIEW BY KENNETH JONES From Las Vegas show rooms and New York cabarets to cruise lines and corporate events, legit director BILL CASTELLINO reflects on using his directorial skills for unconventional projects. The mythological popular view of a modern stage director usually paints the practitioner as dwelling in just one place, seemingly instantly created from day one as a master crafter of only plays and musicals in no other realm but the high-profile commercial world. SDC Members know that the world is wider than that. A lifelong career more often than not is a cobbling-together of eclectic gigs that draw on the director’s skills. The range of work is vast: galas, industrials, academic productions, concerts, revues, cruise ship entertainment, Vegas, indie theatre, resident theatre, Off-Broadway, and beyond. Director/choreographer Bill Castellino has walked this nomadic path. His 40-year résumé is spiced with readings, starry cabaret shows (with Amanda McBroom, Ann Hampton Callaway, and others), galas, and tributes (including SDC’s 50th Anniversary celebration and 2013 tribute to outgoing President Karen Azenberg), concert and Las Vegas acts (the Supremes’ Mary Wilson, the Four Tops, and the Australian vocal group Human Nature), Off-Broadway productions (the acclaimed Storyville, Ionescopade, and, most recently, Cagney – all for York Theatre Company), cruise ship revues (like the upcoming Soul Mates: A Journey to Hitsville), and many regional plays and musicals, including work at Cherry County Playhouse in Michigan, where he was producing director for four seasons. SDC Journal talked with Bill, an SDC Member since the mid-’80s, about his small-town roots, his circuitous path to directing (via journalism and acting), and his experience working in unconventional arenas while continuing his career in the legitimate theatre.
