Technology! We love it, and yet if you’re over 50, you may hate it in the very same breath. But love it or not, we are called upon to embrace it. And embrace it we do.

Below is a quote from “Wired Magazine” that we think may shed some light on the unique marriage between the printed word and technology.

“ We surf the Internet… we swim in magazines. The Internet is exhilarating. Magazines are enveloping. The Internet grabs you. Magazines embrace you. The Internet is impulsive. Magazines are immersive. And both media are growing… Think of it this way: during the 12 year life of Google, magazine readership actually increased 11 percent.

What it proves, once again, is that a new medium doesn’t necessarily displace an existing one. Just like movies didn’t kill radio. Just as TV didn’t kill movies. An established medium can continue to flourish so long as it continues to offer a unique experience. And, as reader loyalty and growth demonstrate, magazines do.” - Ben Hassett for Conde Nast

Before The People Came first appeared as a collaboration between Amun Ra Theatre and the historic Nashville Children’s Theatre in February of 2004. It sold out 38 consecutive shows and was selected for reading at the prestigious Provincetown Festival of New Works for Young People in New York, NY. After another successful run at ART in 2009, it was selected over several hundred worldwide entries as one of the 25 Main Stage Productions at the 2009 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, NC. Mixing musical influences from both Africa and America and utilizing metaphor and Spoken Word, Before The People Came has delighted audiences all over. The children’s CD is also available now on iTunes. Playwright’s Notes

What can be said about a piece that seemed to have come from the sky, forcing its way through the fingertips of a willing earthly vessel? I only wish I knew. As that vessel, I often times find myself an outside witness to the work being created via the Ancestral Voices that often romp and sing in my field of dreams. Experience has taught me to simply get out of the way and heed those voices well. This time, They spoke jazz to me as a metaphor: misfit music created by outcast Africans with European instruments, not—at first—a match made in Heaven; Each instrument is different and distinctive. Yet, when played in concert with one another, they create organized, purposeful chaos through call and response, creative inter-play, tonal set ups and resolution.

I was asked in an interview once what I wanted someone age 7 to get from the play vs. what I wanted someone 70 to get from the play. My answer: I want a 7 year-old to have a lot of fun while realizing that we all are in this journey called Life together—basically what they know already. For the 70 year- old: to remember what it’s like to be 7 again. About Amun Ra Theatre

Special thanks to: A rich history sets the stage for the leading role Regions Bank plays at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.

Maintaining an active presence in the community, including sponsorship of TPAC Education’s Season for Young Audiences, Regions has a solid tradition of establishing strong, long-term relationships with its constituents. Dating back to the 1800s, its history is interwoven into growth and progress in Nashville, Tennessee and the South.

“That history of relationships runs the gamut of everything that we do – long-term relationships with our customers, from individual consumers to corporations, and partnerships with non-profit organizations like TPAC, Habitat for Humanity, and United Way,” said Jim Schmitz, Regions’ Middle Tennessee area president. “The third Jim Schmitz piece of that is long-term relationships with our associates. We have scores of people working in our organization who have 20, 30, 40 Regions’ Middle Tennessee years of experience, and more, with the company.” area president The equal importance of these three relationships – customers, community, and associates – is, in fact, symbolized by the three points of the pyramid in Regions’ striking logo.

“A bank can only be as strong as the community that surrounds it,” said Schmitz. “It is absolutely in our best interest – the best interest of our shareholders, customers and associates – to be living in a strong community. In order to be economically vibrant, you not only need solid business. You need solid culture and strong non-profit organizations with missions of service. Our company does a good job of recognizing the importance of that interrelationship with the community and how its success is important to the success of the bank and the quality of life for our customers and associates.”

Regions’ sponsorship of TPAC’s annual season for student audiences is one way it contributes to the vitality of culture, arts, and education in Tennessee. The partnership activity includes the presence of the bank’s officers from throughout Tennessee at performances for the student audiences to greet students and teachers.

“The vitality of the arts in a well-educated population base creates a vibrant community with better quality of life and a skilled work force, which in turn brings in more business and creates more vibrancy in the community. Our support of TPAC Education helps to lay a foundation for that,” he said. “We can learn so much from the written word, the spoken word, from the drama, comedy, dance, opera – whatever the medium. There are stories there, lessons to be learned, from life lessons to depictions of history so we don’t make the same mistakes as a society. It’s important for children to get an early footing, to discover, at a young age, what they can learn from the arts.”

Leave the little ster at home, and enjoym aon night at TPAC s

It is 1934 and the death of local mad scientist, Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, has the town of Transylvania in a horrifically happy uproar. As the crazed doctor’s funeral procession elicits wild celebration, Inspector Kemp announces the terrible news that Dr. Frankenstein has a living grandson.

In New York we meet Frederick, who is quite ashamed to be a Frankenstein and even insists on the pronunciation of his name as “Fronkensteen.” Frederick soon learns that his distant relative has passed and he has inherited the family castle in Transylvania. So he bids farewell to his prudishly unphysical fiancée Elizabeth Benning and heads off to settle the matter of the castle property.

Upon immediate entry to Transylvania, Frederick is greeted with enthusiasm by his grandfather’s assistant, Igor. The crazed hunchback insists that Frederick continue on with the late Dr. Frankenstein’s work.

Exhausted from his journey, Frederick has a fittingly strange dream when he falls asleep in the castle living room. He is visited by his grandfather and encouraged to join the family business and build a living monster. Frederick is suddenly awakened by Inga, a young, attractive yodeling lab assistant. They follow the sounds of an eerie violin being played by the late doctor’s girlfriend, Frau Blücher, to the castle laboratory.

Frederick becomes inspired by his late grandfather’s notes and decides to carry on the family work. They dig up a huge corpse to attempt bringing it back to life. Igor is sent to retrieve the creature’s new brain and clumsily returns with the wrong one. When the monster comes to life he goes on a rampage. The townspeople come to inspect the castle and Frau Blücher decides to release the monster without consulting Frederick.

The group unsuccessfully hunts for the missing creature, and Inga attempts to comfort Frederick. This leads to a racy scene during which the doctor performs some “female anatomical experiments” on Inga. Elizabeth shows up to catch the two in the act.

After an interesting meeting with a hermit named Harold, the monster finds himself locked in a room with Frederick. The doctor convinces him to become a real “Man About the Town.” The monster is presented as a classy gentleman at the Loews Transylvania Theatre. He dances and performs and impresses the whole crowd. Unfortunately, a series of stage lights scare the creature back into his savage state and he kidnaps Elizabeth and takes her to a mysterious cave to have his way with her.

The monster is eventually lured back to the castle where Frederick attempts to perform an intelligence transfer on the creature. Suddenly, the townspeople break into the castle and take Frederick away to be hanged.

While standing on the gallows, Frederick accepts his heritage as a Frankenstein and is prepared to be killed. The monster, Elizabeth, Frau Blücher, Harold the hermit, Igor, Inga and even Count Dracula show up for the final surprising scene.

54 *United Way of Metropolitan Nashville at Work Here. “There’s something special about this place.” * A Leader Among Leaders In 1981, Thomas F. Frist, Jr., and a charter group of Nashville leaders started the Alexis de Tocqueville Society as a way for leaders to publicly demonstrate their commitment to making Nashville a better community. Since that time, the Society has been adopted by major cities across the country and around the world. It has claimed as members such names as Gates, Dell, Lilly, Trump, and Hunt. We would like to recognize the members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, Alpha Chapter. Thank you for your leadership.
