    The Floating Palace In the thirteenth James Bond spy thriller in 1983, Roger Moore comes up against “Octopussy”, an exotic jewel smuggler who lives a life of opulence aboard her “floating palace” near Delhi, India. She owns a traveling circus used as a cover for her jewelry smuggling operation (with Afghan prince and partner Kamal Khan). The “floating palace” is guarded by a team of female gymnasts, all part of her Octopus cult. But floating palaces with traveling circuses are nothing new to the Crescent City. They’ve made visits many times before. The opulent “floating palace”, where “Octopussy” scenes were filmed The first “floating theatre” was constructed in Pittsburgh in 1831 as a vehicle for the Chapmans, a family of English actors. Only a narrow box 16 by 100 feet long on a narrow barge, but it was a real theatre nonetheless. With a stage at one end, a pit in the middle, and a gallery at the other end, the nine-person Chapman family floated it down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers (with performances along the way) to its journey’s end in New Orleans. There it was sold for firewood, and the troupe trekked back to Pittsburgh to build another craft for the following season. By 1836 they were able to afford a steamboat to use as their own permanent “floating theatre”. The Chapman presentations included Shakespeare's “The Taming of the Shrew” and “Hamlet”, August von Kotzebue's “The Stranger” and the fairy tale “Cinderella”. Frequently featured were performances of popular songs. Featuring a menagerie, a museum and an opera house, “Eugene Robinson's Floating Palaces” - just one of the many showboats entertaining folks on the Mississippi River during the 19th century Other boats followed with offerings that ranged from serious dramas to circuses, and along the way the word “showboat” came into the lexicon.

Today is both a continuation and a new beginning for Philanthropy New York. Over the years, we have presented many programs on issues related to democratic participation and showcased the initiatives of funders who have supported both ground-level organizing and systematic reforms. As we all know, the conversations around the challenges to our democratic system did not begin with a single election. The flaws of our electoral systems, voter disenfranchisement and the long simmering erosion of public trust in government and media have been part of the American landscape for some time. While the diagnosis of what ails our democracy has been discussed for years, the enthusiasm and consensus around taking action has grown significantly since the last national election. Looking at how attitudes around race, gender, and immigration, to name some of the core issues, have combined with inadequate or erroneous knowledge, to influence our democracy is now a national conversation.
