“Howell Binkley: a Celebration of Light And Press Contact: Rick Miramontez [email protected] 212 695 7400 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE PARSONS DANCE AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF HOWELL BINKLEY ANNOUNCE “ HOWELL BINKLEY: A CELEBRATION OF LIGHT AND LOVE ” A VIDEO TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF HOWELL BINKLEY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2020 AT 8:00 PM ET New York, NY (October 13, 2020) Parsons Dance and Friends and Family of Howell Binkley are pleased to announce that Howell Binkley: A Celebration of Light and Love, a video tribute in memory of lighting designer Howell Binkley, created by Suspension Productions, will be available for viewing on howellbinkley.com beginning Sunday, October 25 at 8:00 PM ET. The 60-minute tribute, honoring Binkley’s award-winning career, beginning in 1978 until his death on August 14, 2020, features dance and Broadway luminaries discussing his impact on their lives and on their professional communities. Binkley designed the lighting for fifty-two Broadway shows. He received 9 Tony Award nominations and won 2 Tony Awards. His immense success in theatrical lighting is explored throughout A Celebration of Light and Love by those who worked with him and cherished his friendship. Among these are Broadway and West End producers Cameron Macintosh, Jeffrey Seller, and Richard Winkler; directors Thomas Kail and Des McAnuff; choreographers David Parsons and Sergio Trujillo; actors Ariana DeBose, Chita Rivera and Paul Nolan; and creators Bob Gaudio and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Joining them and others in remembrances of this remarkably talented man are his former assistants, his family, and his friends. Binkley began his career with the Paul Taylor Dance Company, where he met choreographer David Parsons, then a dancer with the company. “It was an incredible journey, Howell Binkley and I had together,” says Parsons. “I was there to learn from Paul, and he was there to learn from lighting designer Jennifer Tipton. Over the next four decades, we traveled the world, worked extremely hard, and truly experienced the wonders of life.” Binkley and Parsons co-founded Parsons Dance in 1985, and, as its resident lighting designer, Binkley went on to light more than 70 pieces for the company. DKC / O&M 212 695 7400 omdkc.com Binkley once acknowledged that lighting dance helped him develop the skills necessary for lighting theater. “In dance, you are sculpting the body from all sides in order to give definition to the body as it turns, as it’s lifted, as it rolls on the ground,” he said. “I try in my lighting of plays and musicals to use that same carving tool.” His expertise in using this tool was acknowledged by revered members of the Broadway community, including director Des McAnuff (Ain't Too Proud, Jersey Boys) with whom Binkley worked on over thirty productions. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who worked with him on In The Heights and later on Hamilton, for which Binkley received the 2016 Tony Award, stated in tribute to his passing, “Thank you for sculpting in light and elevating every moment you touched.” Appropriately so, A Celebration of Light and Love captures the elevating moments in the life of this gifted man.

Howell Binkley’s Broadway lighting design credits include Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations (2019 Tony nomination), Come From Away (2017 Tony nomination), Hamilton (2016 Tony Award), Allegiance, After Midnight (2014 Tony nomination), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011 Tony nomination), West Side Story (2009 Tony nomination), In the Heights (2008 Tony nomination), Jersey Boys (2006 Tony, Henry Hewes Design Award, Outer Critics Circle Award), Avenue Q, The Full Monty, Parade, and Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993 Tony nomination, Olivier Award and Dora Award winner). He is a five-time Helen Hayes Award recipient and was given the 1993 Sir Laurence Olivier Award and the Canadian Dora Award for Kiss of The Spider Woman. The proud co-founder of Parsons Dance, Binkley also lit dance works for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Hubbard Street, and The Joffrey Ballet. To honor his legacy, Binkley’s family and colleagues, in partnership with the Hemsley Lighting Programs, have established the Howell Binkley Fellowship Program, a three-month individualized course offering emerging lighting designers the opportunity to learn about commercial and nonprofit lighting design. Led by Ryan O’Gara and Amanda Zieve, two of Howell’s key associates, the program reflects what was Binkley’s ongoing commitment to helping the next generation of designers develop technical skills as well as giving them practical advice on how to navigate the industry at the start of their careers.

    Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Film still from a YouTube video. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The gay actor and singer Larry Kert originated the lead romantic role of Tony in the landmark 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story. With his expressive, vibrant tenor, he introduced some of the most memorable songs in the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim score, including "Maria," "Tonight," and "Something's Coming." In 1970, Kert triumphed again on Broadway in another Sondheim musical, Company, as Robert, a New York bachelor observing the strains and tensions in the marriages of his best friends, as well as struggling to commit emotionally to each of his three girlfriends. Other Broadway shows involving Kert were unfortunately short-lived, and his later career was devoted mainly to cabaret, television, and regional theater. He was born Frederick Lawrence Kert in Los Angeles, California on December 5, 1930 into a comfortably middle-class family. His father was a jeweler and his mother an actress. He had a brother, Morton, and two sisters, Evelyn and the singer later known as Anita Ellis. He initially attended Hollywood High School but transferred to the Hollywood Professional School in Los Angeles. While still in school, Kert performed as an extra and stunt double in several movies, including Lassie Come Home (1943), where he was a stand-in for the film's star Roddy McDowell. After graduation, Kert took some classes at Los Angeles City College but soon dropped out and moved to New York City where he studied with the celebrated acting teacher Sanford Meisner.

  • The Club Welcomed Broadway Producer Jeffrey Seller on Monday, May 7 for the 90Th Annual Dinner Meeting Celebrated at the Hilton Chicago Hotel
    The Club welcomed Broadway producer Jeffrey Seller on Monday, May 7 for the 90th Annual Dinner Meeting celebrated at the Hilton Chicago Hotel. The evening started with retiring board member Jack Hartman presenting the Nominating Committee’s 2018-2019 slate of officers and directors of the Club, which members unanimously accepted. The program began with remarks from Mr. Seller – producer of Hamilton, Rent and Avenue Q, among many other shows– which detailed his career and the business of making musicals. Afterwards, Chair Mellody Hobson moderated a candid discussion that touched on topics including Mr. Seller’s path to Broadway, his process of creation, and future projects. The previous day, Mr. Seller and Lin-Manuel Miranda announced the opening of Hamilton: The Exhibition, a traveling museum that will open in Chicago on Northerly Island in November. It will serve as an immersive exploration of the American Revolution through the perspective of Alexander Hamilton. In Mr. Seller’s eyes, Chicago is the ideal place to launch the museum. “Chicago embodies the intersection of civic stewardship, cultural engagement and capitalism that define American exceptionalism,” he said. “The Herculean efforts of the business and civic leaders that architects who dreamed up and built the Chicago’s World Fair in 1893 exemplified how a city can enrich the lives of citizens through entertainment, education and illumination. “ These kinds of strategic considerations are skills Mr. Seller honed over his 25-year storied career in theater. Given the role he plays in making artistic visions a reality, he emphasized two points. First, that commercial potential is impossible to predict, so he has only brought to stage art that he loves; and second, he is committed to expanding the demographics of Broadway.
