In each episode, once his family leaves for the day, Fred transforms into Nature Cat, “backyard explorer extraordinaire.” Nature Cat can’t wait to get outside for a day of backyard nature excursions and bravery, but there’s one problem: He’s still a house cat with no instincts for nature. Like many of today’s kids, Nature Cat is eager and enthusiastic about outside activities, but is at times intimidated by them. With the help of his animal friends, Nature Cat embarks on action- packed adventures that include exciting missions full of nature investigation, “aha” discovery moments and humor, all while inspiring children to go outside and “play the show.” • Bobby Moynihan, voice actor (SNL) • David Rudman, co-creator (“Cookie Monster” SESAME STREET) • Adam Rudman, co-creator (SESAME STREET, CYBERCHASE) PR contact: Maria Vera 703-739-3225; [email protected]; Premieres November 25 10:00 Executive Session in the International Ballroom | @paulakerger | @PBS • Paula Kerger, President & CEO PR contact: Anne Bentley, 703-739-5021; [email protected] 10:45 MASTERPIECE “Sherlock” press conference in the International Ballroom | @MasterpiecePBS #SherlockPBS • Steven Moffat, co-writer and executive producer • Sue Vertue, producer • Rebecca Eaton, series executive producer PR contacts: Ellen Dockser, 617-300-5338; [email protected]; Olivia Wong, 617- 300-5349; [email protected]; Premiere date TBA 11:30 MASTERPIECE “Indian Summers” press conference in the International Ballroom @MasterpiecePBS | #IndianSummersPBS Julie Walters plays the glamorous doyenne of an English social club in the twilight of British rule in India.

    This transcript was exported on Oct 20, 2019 - view latest version here. Bryan Smith: Bryan Smith here and welcome to the DreamPath Podcast, where I try to get inside the heads of talented creatives from all over the world. My goal is to demystify and humanize the creative process and make it accessible to everyone. Now let's jump in. Bryan Smith: Jere Shea is on the show today. Jere is a classically trained actor who grew up in Boston and attended Boston College. He then went to the prestigious Tisch School in New York, and not long after that, got a starring role on Broadway as Giorgio in Stephen Sondheim's Passion. By the way, if you're interested in seeing that exact Broadway production of the musical Passion, it's available in its entirety on YouTube. Bryan Smith: Jere was nominated for a Tony in that musical and then went on to star in the crime thriller Southey with Donnie Wahlberg, Lawrence Tierney, Rose McGowan and Will Arnette. Then Jere took an unusual turn for a successful actor. I won't spoil what the turn was here in the intro, but I think you'll really enjoy hearing Jere talk about the choices he made after achieving so much success in theater and film. Bryan Smith: Jere's more recent work can be seen on the Showtime series, City on a Hill, in which he plays a police detective in Boston in the early '90s. Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Jere's co-stars in the series include Kevin Bacon, Sarah Sharhey, Aldis Hodge, Jonathan Tucker and Mark O'Brien among many other super talented actors.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

  • The Dirty Dozen Brass Band
    The Dirty Dozen Brass Band Celebrating over 40 years since their founding in 1977, New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres including Bebop Jazz, Funk and R&B/Soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a ‘musical gumbo,’ has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across 5 continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-plus years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre- bending romps and high-octane performances. The History of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band In 1977, The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud, but antiquated, traditions at the time: social and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands, early predecessors of jazz as we know it, would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late '70s, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band, and over the course of these early gigs, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue's name: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Nations, cities and communities in different parts of the world have in recent years demonstrated that this can be done. At the AREDAY Summit we will discuss and celebrate these clean energy achievements; show that they benefit both business and the environment.” — Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, President of Iceland Since 2004 bringing leaders and educators together to promote the rapid implementation of renewable energy and energy efficient strategies as practical solutions to the climate crisis through presentation, demonstration, performance, film and dialogue. From Paris to the Polls: Implementing Low Carbon Economies A Time to Choose WELCOME TO THE 13TH ANNUAL AREDAY SUMMIT AND IMPACT FILM. This year presents a time of choices. Do we continue down the path of fossil fuel destruction of the world’s climate and life support systems, or do we embrace the future with renewable energy, clean technology and innovation that can transform our world? The United States, the country with the largest economy and carbon footprint in the world, will choose a new President in 2016. Do we choose one who can lead America and the world through the Great Transition into a Sustainable Future or a President who maintains the status quo of a world-wide economy based on the extraction and burning of fossil fuels and the consequential catastrophic collapse of the biosphere? “From Paris to the Polls: Implementing Low Carbon Economies,” is the theme of AREDAY 2016.

Map of military installations around Alexandria, Virginia, in September 1862, from the Civil War memoir of Union soldier Robert Knox Sneden, whose 500 watercolors, maps and drawings are the largest collection of soldier art to survive the war. Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division/Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA Foreword The Civil War lives on in our imagination as a series of black and white photographs; stoic young men in uniform, fields strewn with bloated corpses, the smoldering ruins of a once proud city. It is a silent, static world, as if stilled by tragedy. But if our modern world is anything to judge by, war is vivid, chaotic, and noisy. It is above all a human experience filled with passion, tragedy, heroism, despair, and even, at times, unexpected humor. That is the story we went looking for. The series Mercy Street was largely inspired by the memoirs of doctors and female volunteer nurses who were in many ways the unsung heroes of the Civil War. For every soldier wounded in battle, there were dozens of caregivers behind the front lines selflessly trying to repair the physical and psychological damage.
