Even fewer of you got to witness the dish \ being replaced with an updated version designed to handle the latest digital technology. On a sunny afternoon in July, we called in the muscle of a "Big Hook" crane to lift the old dish off of the third floor roof and replace it with a brand new one chat will allow GLT to keep up with the digital age.

NPR wants to be sure that its member stations have the latest technology possible, so they've instituted a satellite dish replacement program across the country using some of those funds to cover the cost of replacement.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Performance-Conscious Activism
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Performance -conscious Activism and Activist -conscious Performance as Discourse in the Aftermath of the Los Angeles Rebellion of 1992 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Performance Studies By Kamran Afary EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2007 2 © Copyright by Kamran Afary 2007 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT Performance -conscious Activism and Activist -conscious Performance as Discourse in the Aftermath of the Los Angeles Rebellion of 1992 Kamran Afary This dissertation deploys an interdisciplinary methodology, extending what is conventionally understood as discourse to include performance. It brings together the fields of performance stud ies, discourse analysis and theatre studies to document, contextualize, and analyze the events after the Los Angeles rebellion of 1992. It examines gang youth who turned to community activism to help maintain truce between former warring gangs; small comm unity - based organizations of mothers who worked to defend their incarcerated sons; and a variety of other groups that organized demonstrations, meetings, and gatherings to publicize the community’s opposition to brutal police practices, unjust court proced ures, and degrading media images. The dissertation also addresses the intersections between grassroots activism and the celebrated performance and video Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 by Anna Deavere Smith™. Together, activists and performers developed new counter -public spaces and compelling counter -narratives that confronted the extremely negative media representations of the Los Angeles rebellion. In these spaces and narratives, t he activists/performers nurtured and developed their oppositional identities and interests, often despite dire economic conditions and social dislocations.

    MAY 2014 WELCOME A few weeks ago, on April 30, 2014, the American the- atre lost a giant, and The Old Globe lost one of its most valued friends. Nicholas Martin’s relationship with this institution began when he acted here in King Lear in 1957, and it continues to this day as we present Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike in a production based on his original Broadway direction. The fifty seven year span of his Globe career saw him act in eighteen additional productions and direct six, most recently his acclaimed 2013 staging of Shaw’s Pygmalion. On the opening night of that production the Globe named him an Associate DOUG GATES Artist, an honor that he was as proud to earn as we were Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. to bestow. Nicky, as he was known, loved San Diego and adored the Globe, but the Globe loved him more. At every level of the institution, from artists to staff to Board, he was cherished. He was an uproari- ously funny man with a room-filling laugh and a bright twinkle in his eye. His wit was scintillat- ing, and although it could be withering, too, it was never, ever mean-spirited. Nicky was a man of the theatre in the deepest sense: every single part of the process of making theatre thrilled him. His manner in rehearsal was always gentle and open-hearted, and he was fiercely devoted to his artistic collaborators and their work. He was a generous mentor of emerging talent and a loyal supporter of longtime colleagues.

C. Handy, the African American leader of a dance orchestra, got stuck one night waiting for a train in the hamlet of Tutwiler, Mississippi. With hours to kill and nowhere else to go, Handy fell asleep at the empty depot on a hard wooden bench. When he woke, a ragged black man was sitting next to him, singing about “goin’ where the Southern cross the Dog” and sliding a knife against the strings of a guitar. The musician repeated the line three times and answered it with his guitar. Intrigued, Handy asked what the line meant. It turned out that the tracks of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad, which locals called the Yellow Dog, crossed the tracks of the Southern Railroad in the town of Moorehead, where the musician was headed, and he’d put it into a song.
