  • Next to Normal ______
    PRESS KIT: Next to Normal _____________________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 06/15/2013 Next to Normal By Tom Kitt & Brian Yorkey Directed by Glenda ManWaring July 11 – 27, 2013 Thurs. – Sat. 8pm Sun. 3pm Next to Normal is best described as a “feel everything” rock musical. Playwright and lyricist Brian Yorkey employs humor through funny lines and situations to balance and lighten the play’s serious and painful situations of human life. The music by Tom Kitt provides pleasure in itself. The music connects to the audience’s emotions in ways that simple spoken words cannot. Bringing these two masters together birthed this extraordinary, award winning masterpiece. Its story concerns a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has on her family. The musical also addresses such issues as grieving a loss, suicide, drug abuse, ethics in modern psychiatry, and love-- both old and new. Next to Normal was nominated for 11 Tony Awards when it opened and was awarded 3 Tony Awards for Best Original Score, Best Orchestration, and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical. In addition, it also won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, becoming just the eighth musical in history to do so. Centre Stage is partnering with the Greenville Health System in presenting two panel discussions during the run of this musical. The first discussion will be held after the 3PM matinee performance on Sunday, July 14 and the second one will be a 12PM Lunch & Learn on Friday, July 19th. Both of these panel discussions are titled, “Let’s Talk About Mental Illness” and will include local doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, clinicians and guests from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).

    '2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller With 'MTV Generation Award' Premiering LIVE Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 9pm ET/8pm CT From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22 -- The 2009 MTV Movie Awards pays tribute to Ben Stiller with the coveted "MTV Generation Award" for his amazing contribution to Hollywood and for entertaining the MTV audience for years. From generation to generation, Ben Stiller has kept fans rolling with laughter since bursting onto the scene in Reality Bites and his early film roles and cult classics such as There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder and now this summer's eagerly anticipated Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian in theaters May 22, 2009. The "MTV Generation Award" is the MTV Movie Awards' highest honor, acknowledging an actor who has captured the attention of the MTV audience throughout his or her career. Past recipients include Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey. Hosted by Andy Samberg, the 2009 MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast LIVE from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA on Sunday, May 31st at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. CT. "From The Royal Tenenbaums to Zoolander, Ben is a comedic chameleon, able to make the leap between drama and full-out comedy while maintaining his own unique brand of subversive humor," said Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Logo/Film Group. "That versatility and talent has earned him legions of devoted fans over the years which makes him a perfect recipient for the 'MTV Generation Award.' Whether it's fighting a monkey in a museum or licking a decapitated head, nothing is ever off-limits for him and that's the type of warped creative vision and commitment MTV loves to reward."
