Hit Broadway Musical Hairspray Starts Thanksgiving Weekend at Syracuse Stage PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, November 20, 2014 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Hit Broadway Musical Hairspray Starts Thanksgiving Weekend at Syracuse Stage “Infectious melodies.”—USA TODAY “Sweet, infinitely spirited.”—VARIETY MAGAZINE Co-Produced with Syracuse University’s Department of Drama PRESENTING SPONSOR: SPONSORS: MEDIA SPONSOR: SEASON SPONSOR: Onondaga County/ Key Bank WAER Syracuse Syracuse Media Group CNY Arts The Allyn Foundation Public Media Grandma Brown Foundation Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (Syracuse, NY)—Bubbling with joy and 60s era music and dance, Hairspray is the Tony Award- winning hit Broadway musical piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. Tracy Turnblad is a teen whose life revolves around dancing on the Corny Collins TV show. Who knew that a teenybopper TV show could be a catalyst for integration? You can’t stop the beat, and truth be told, you won’t want to once the all-singing and dancing cast takes the stage. Hairspray performs Nov. 28 – Jan. 4 in the Archbold Theatre at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Complex, 820 East Genesee Street. Discounted preview performances are Nov. 28 – Dec. 4. The Opening Night performance is Friday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets and info are available at www.syracusestage.org, by phone at 315-443-3275, and in person at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, Mon-Fri, 10am-5pm. Ticket discounts are available for groups of 10 or more at 315-443-9844. Discounts are also available for seniors, students, and U.S. military personnel and veterans. Sign interpretation, open captioning, and audio description services are available for select performances. Family guide: fun for all members of the family, some mildly suggestive dialogue. The Broadway production of Hairspray won eight Tony Awards in 2003 including Best Musical. Incorporating 60’s style dance music and rhythm and blues, popular songs from Hairspray include “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” “I Know Where I’ve Been,” “I Can Hear the Bells,” “Big, Blonde and Beautiful,” “Good Morning Baltimore,” “Run and Tell That,” “It Takes Two,” and “Welcome to the 60s,” among others. Composer/lyricist Marc Shaiman and lyricist Scott Wittman won the Tony Award for Best Original Score and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Hairspray at Syracuse Stage is directed by Bill Fennelly, who previously directed Stage’s S.A.L.T. Award-winning production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Fennelly’s previous credits includes Frankenstein the musical (Off-Broadway), A Christmas Carol featuring F. Murray Abraham and Lynn Redgrave, Original Assistant Director of Jersey Boys, and Resident Director for The Lion King. “There are so many things I like about Hairspray. The music is fabulous, and the choreography by David Wanstreet (White Christmas, Syracuse Stage) is going to be out of this world,” said Fennelly. “Hairspray is a unique and thrilling choice for a holiday musical. The musical is a love explosion! There are epic, amazing love stories for so many of the characters, and there’s no better time than the holidays to think about those you love. It’s also a time to remember the illuminating power of light in the darkness. One person can make a difference. I think that’s very moving especially at this time of year.” Set in 1962 Baltimore, Hairspray uses the Corny Collins Show to shed light on social injustices of American society. John Waters, the creator of the original Hairspray movie upon which the musical is based, was inspired by the real-life Buddy Deane Show, a competitor to American Bandstand. (Read more about the historical context of Hairspray in our Program Book) “If people are going to take something away from this production of Hairspray the musical, I hope everyone will remember that they are unique, beautiful and not like anyone else, and that is to be celebrated,” said Fennelly. “I think Hairspray asks us to try and be more compassionate—live better, live more joyfully, live with more love, live with more courage.” Hairspray is a co-production with Syracuse University’s Department of Drama in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The 29-member cast includes professional Broadway actors, SU Drama faculty members, SU Drama alumni, and current SU Drama students.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 600 S. Wilbur Ave. Syracuse, NY 13204 315.476.7441 Year | 1 www.arcon.org Think Big. Outsource Local. Creative, Innovative Supports and Services Dear Friends, Although 2017 presented challenges, we are pleased to say that, once again, Arc of Onondaga has many wonderful things to report. This past year forced us to sit down and reflect on what matters most; finding ways to operate more efficiently while continuing to provide the high-quality services and supports that people want. Our continued culture shift from caregiver to supporter took center stage as we began to design programs around what matters most to the individuals we serve and move away from standard programmatic options. Ellen Gutmaker Chris Centore Executive Director President of the Board We saw rate changes and cuts in several areas, increased examinations over meeting waiver requirements, decreased referrals to some of our long-standing programs, and lengthy openings in our residential homes due to OPWDD scrutiny over who can move. These changes forced us to examine all of the Board of Directors services we provide across the board to make sure we were utilizing all of our resources and capitalizing on the opportunities Chris Centore brought about by change. We saw a significant increase in the number of people supported through community hab, we opened President a supportive apartment setting for people desiring increased Gone are the days when programs were offered in self-contained, segregated independence, and we also assisted those we support from Chuck Seereiter environments; 2017 brought about new and innovative approaches to the services moving from an apartment setting to three smaller homes where First Vice President they can be better integrated in their community.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, January 24, 2012 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Non-Stop Music in Caroline, or Change by Pulitzer Prize Winner Tony Kushner and Tony Nominee Jeanine Tesori (Syracuse, NY)— Two powerhouses of the American theatre, playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Shrek: The Musical), join forces on a musical of startling creativity and refreshing originality (don’t be surprised when the washing machine starts to sing). A stellar cast led by Greta Oglesby delivers powerful vocals in this unconventional, through-composed musical, the recipient of six Tony nominations followed by the Olivier Award for Best Musical. The year is 1963—civil rights and Kennedy—and in the Gellman household in Lake Charles, Louisiana, eight-year-old Noah struggles with the loss of his mother, while Caroline, the family’s African American maid, struggles as a single Mom of four children. Through Caroline and Noah’s friendship, Kushner and Tesori explore thoughts on economic hardship and racial inequity that are relevant today as they were in the early 60s. Rich with humor, humanity and of course music—ranging from blues to gospel to traditional Jewish melodies—Caroline, or Change delivers a deep and uplifting message about change, in big ways and small. Running February 1—26, Caroline, or Change will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org.

  • Great Expectations in Store for the Opening of the Syracuse Stage Season
    PRESS RELEASE Wednesday, October 5, 2016 CONTACT: Joanna Penalva, Marketing Manager 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Great Expectations in Store for the Opening of the Syracuse Stage Season Fast-paced, easy-to-understand take on the classic is sure to delight everyone from novices to Dickens devotees PRESENTING SPONSOR: SEASON SPONSORS: MEDIA SPONSORS: The Dorothy and Marshall Syracuse Media Group Central New York Business M. Reisman Foundation Destiny USA Journal Urban CNY SPONSORS: WAER Public Media M&T Bank Aloft Syracuse Inner Harbor SYRACUSE, NY –Syracuse Stage opens its 2016-2017 season with Charles Dickens’ classic Great Expectations. Adapted for the stage by Gale Childs Daly and directed by Michael Bloom, the production runs Oct. 19 – Nov. 6 at the Archbold Theatre in the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex, 820 E. Genesee Street. The story of Great Expectations traces the life of Pip, an orphan in 19th century England. From childhood through adulthood, he rises from poor beginnings as he aspires to be a gentleman. In a journey filled with kindness and cruelty, Pip comes to realize that an increase in wealth and status does not necessarily make a happy and fulfilled life. Daly’s foray into Great Expectations began when she was assigned to write a 45- minute stage adaptation of the book as part of an educational outreach tour. “I thought that was impossible,” says Daly of the task, “But I said okay.” The success of the outreach tour led to her writing the adaptation’s current two-act version, a project that took two years to complete.
