Sangre De Cristo Arts Center Presents Forbidden Hollywood with Red 210 N Santa Fe Avenue | Pueblo, CO 81003 www.sdc-arts.org | 719-295-7200 FOR RELEASE: January 22, 2015 Contact: Alyssa Parga, Marketing Manager 719-295-7211 | [email protected] Sangre de Cristo Arts Center presents Forbidden Hollywood with Red Carpet Happy Hour to Kick Off Oscar Weekend (Pueblo, Colo.-January 22, 2015) The Pueblo Arts Center will present Forbidden Hollywood on February 20, 2015 at 7:30 pm in the Arts Center Theater as part of the Center Stage Series. Hot on the heels of its wicked, long-running predecessor, Forbidden Broadway, Forbidden Hollywood has come to town, guns blazing and smoking with attitude. When the dust clears, industry icons are everywhere in the street, lovingly littered by creator Gerard Alessandrini whose Broadway blowout has run in New York for more than 20 years and has toured the world. With pacing as furious as Forbidden Broadway, Forbidden Hollywood cuts through tinseltown’s bombast and starpower with surgical precision. Recent classics like “Titanic” “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter” and “Austin Powers” all receive the comic once-over from Forbidden Hollywood’s cast. The bigger the production, the harder it falls. The cast revels in its wicked destruction of blockbusters like “Shrek”, “Lord of the Rings”, and “Chicago”. Disney, fattened beyond counting by its recent string of hits, endures a riotous ribbing of its cartoon world and its theme park megalomania. In one of the revue’s funniest bits, Sharon Stone takes center stage belting out a twisted take on TV’s long-running “Rawhide” show. Alessandrini keeps the show topical by constantly updating the material. No film, brand new or venerable, is safe from his nasty pen. Other actors who are satirized include Keanu Reeves, Melanie Griffith, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, and long-famous stars like Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Marlon Brando, Barbra Streisand, Audrey Hepburn, Louis Armstrong, Ann- Margret and Liza Minnelli, who sing “Mein Herr” from the film version of “Cabaret.” “Hilarious - get a ticket immediately!” says the Los Angeles Times. Capitalizing on the star-studded Oscar Award weekend, the Arts Center is hosting a Red Carpet Happy Hour before the show. For $10, guests can attend this VIP Happy Hour sponsored by Franco’s Bistro which includes appetizers, drinks, trivia and games from 6-7 pm on February 20. Tickets for Forbidden Hollywood are $30 or $27 for Arts Center members and available by phoning (719) 295- 7200. Forbidden Hollywood is sponsored by Montgomery & Steward, Rocky Mountain Eye Center, Art and Lorraine Gonzales, Greg and Sally Berryman, Kathy Farley and Fran McClave, University Park Care Centers, and Dairy Queen.

  • Pops Program Lovingly Skewers Divas
    Pops program lovingly skewers divas By Mark Kanny TRIBUNE-REVIEW CLASSICAL MUSIC CRITIC Saturday, April 21, 2007 Uproarious humor lifts the Pops' salute to Broadway Divas to a must-see show, one that also includes superb straight performances from the rich legacy of American musicals. As always, guest conductor Jack Everly brought a beautifully crafted production, created by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra-managed Symphonic Pops Consortium, of which he is music director. The evening opens with a two-part musical prelude arranged by Everly that starts with an instrumental medley and is completed by four of the five singers performing "There's No Business Like Show Business." After Cara Johnston's winning solo in "I Could Have Danced All Night," Toni DiBuono offered the evening's first parody by singing "There's No Divas Like Old Divas, Like Old Divas Like Me" in Ethel Merman style. Everly introduced Heather Tepe, 14, as a "diva in training" to sing the ultimate child-star vehicle, "Tomorrow" from "Annie." Because "Tomorrow" has been ubiquitous to the point of absurdity, the following number had the audience in stitches. DiBuono returned in costume as Annie, as though she had sung the premiere 30 years ago. That Ethel Merman-style New York accent was perfect for "I'll be 49 -- ta- morrah." The lyrics by David Levy were hilarious through all its verses. The Pittsburgh Symphony performed magnificently under Everly's leadership, producing more beautiful sonorities -- fabulous strings -- with much better balances than it has at several of the Mellon Grand Classics concerts this season. Everly offered a little misdirection in his introduction to "With One Look" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" about aging star Norma Desmond.

  • Do You Know What John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Hayes
    9101 Quarter Horse Lane * Ft. Worth, TX 76123 817-297-3132 * 888-933-2232 [email protected] * www.aafatexas.org Do you know what John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Hayes, Charles Dickens, Che Guevara, Billy Joel, Liza Minnelli, Bob Hope, Coolio, Elizabeth Taylor, Wynonna Judd, Kenny G. Dennis Rodman, Greg Louganis, Jackie Joyner and Jerome Bettis have in common? They, like 1 of every 12 of your friends and family, have asthma. Some of these people died from their asthma just like an average of 14 Americans die daily from this incurable disease. Asthma is the most chronic incurable disease affecting children. It is the leading reason for school and workplace absenteeism. More girls than boys have asthma and more African-Americans and Hispanics have asthma than Caucasian Americans. No one yet knows why some people have asthma and others don’t. Scientists think it’s a combination of genetics or heredity and environmental factors. If one or more of your parents have asthma, there’s a good chance you’ll have it, too. Almost 70% of those with asthma have allergic asthma, meaning their asthma symptoms are started or triggered by allergies. Others have asthma that is triggered by exercise, and some have a combination. Some people have mild asthma which means they don’t have symptoms often; others have severe asthma with symptoms most of the time. Asthma is a chronic disease, which means it never goes away, but it can be controlled. It can be controlled or managed by eliminating or avoiding the triggers or allergens and irritants which cause symptoms or flare-ups and by following the medication plan that a physician prescribes.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
