Sony Centre for the Performing Arts
SONY CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Executive Summary to Staff Reports Outlining Strategic Plan & Budget for 2014-15 BACKGROUND: At its meeting of September 26, 2011, City Council considered the Core Service Review completed by KPMG and authorized the City Manager to issue a Request for Expression of Interest (“REOI”) to determine the options for sale, lease, operation or other arrangement in respect of the three major civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. (http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.EX10.1.) The report can be found on pages 101-108: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-39626.pdf On September 29, 2011, the Mayor established a Task Force – Arts & Theatres. The Task Force examined the role that the civic theatres play in the city’s culture, economy and community. The Task Force recommended essential criteria for each of the three theatres for the REOI, along with other recommendations for consideration. An REOI was issued by the City in May 2012 to consider options for the future of the civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. The options were to include the sale, lease, operations or any other arrangements for any or all of the three theatres to meet the City’s cultural, social and economic goals. At its meeting held on November 27, 28 and 29, 2012 City Council adopted Item EX25.5 concerning the results of the REOI. At that time, City Council recognized the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts and the Toronto Centre for the Arts as community cultural assets and directed the Boards of these two theatres, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to develop long term strategic and five- year business plans that ensure creative, cost effective and sustainable operations, minimize the City's tax funding, include performance measures for its service to the community, and provide for operating and capital reserves. -

Harry T. Burleigh was a star student of Dvorákˇ at the National Conservatory in New York. A talented composer and singer, he exposed the Czech composer to American spirituals and was in turn encouraged by Dvorákˇ to perform his native African American folk music. Two generations later, Copland and Bernstein conceived a clean, clear American sound that conveys the wonder and awe of open spaces and endless possibilities.

PROGRAM NOTES, TEXTS, AND TRANSLATIONS This concert has no single, overarching theme, but is connected by unusually appealing texts, both in French and in English. The secular poetry chosen by composers from 1936 to 2011 is in some cases dark, but the dark poems are balanced by ones with humor (Poulenc on the hedgehog, Bernstein on love, Matt Harris with his samba Drinking Song). -
A Lively Theatre There's a Revolution Afoot in Theatre Design, Believes
A LIVELY THEatRE There’s a revolution afoot in theatre design, believes architectural consultant RICHARD PILBROW, that takes its cue from the three-dimensional spaces of centuries past The 20th century has not been a good time for theatre architecture. In the years from the 1920s to the 1970s, the world became littered with overlarge, often fan-shaped auditoriums that are barren in feeling and lacking in intimacy--places that are seldom conducive to that interplay between actor and audience that lies at the heart of the theatre experience. Why do theatres of the 19th century feel so much more “theatrical”? And why do so many actors and audiences prefer the old to the new? More generally, does theatre architecture really matter? There are some that believe that as soon as the house lights dim, the audience only needs to see and hear what happens on the stage. Perhaps audiences don’t hiss, boo and shout during a performance any more, but most actors and directors know that an audience’s reaction critically affects the performance. The nature of the theatre space, the configuration of the audience and the intimacy engendered by the form of the auditorium can powerfully assist in the formation of that reaction. A theatre auditorium may be a dead space or a lively one. Theatres designed like cinemas or lecture halls can lay a dead hand on the theatre experience. Happily, the past 20 years have seen a revolution in attitude to theatre design. No longer is a theatre only a place for listening or viewing. -

OSLO Casting Announcement
MICHAEL ARONOV, ADAM DANNHEISSER, JENNIFER EHLE, DANIEL JENKINS, DARIUSH KASHANI, JEFFERSON MAYS, DANIEL ORESKES, HENNY RUSSELL, JOSEPH SIRAVO, T. RYDER SMITH TO BE FEATURED IN THE LINCOLN CENTER THEATER PRODUCTION OF “OSLO” a new play by J.T. ROGERS directed by BARTLETT SHER PREVIEWS BEGIN THURSDAY, JUNE 16 OPENING NIGHT IS MONDAY, JULY 11 AT THE MITZI E. NEWHOUSE THEATER Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop) has announced that Michael Aronov, Adam Dannheisser, Jennifer Ehle, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Jefferson Mays, Daniel Oreskes, Henny Russell, Joseph Siravo, and T. Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher. Commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, OSLO begins performances Thursday, June 16 and will open Monday, July 11 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street). Additional casting will be announced at a later date. It’s 1993. The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.
