GRAND THEATRE CENTER FOR THE ARTS PRESENTING SEASON 2018–19 MONTGOMERY GENTRY SEPT 8:00 pm 14 Tickets: $67 – $95 Originally conceived to mark Montgomery Gentry’s 20th anniversary, their dynamic new album “Here’s To You” now represents the triumphant start to a new legacy. On September 8, 2017, Troy Gentry died in a helicopter crash at the age of 50. The new collection, which was recorded before his death, serves as a reminder of the iconic pair’s powerful presence and also points to fruitful future for Eddie Montgomery and the Montgomery Gentry brand. The album’s title, “Here’s To You,” is both a tribute to Troy and to the band’s rabid fans. “We don’t call them fans, we call them friends,” says Eddie. “They’re who got us our deal.” BOOTS, BREWS & BBQ 7TH STREET PRE-PARTY FEATURING BRODIE STEWART SEPT 14 6:00 – 7:30 pm Prior to Montgomery Gentry Tickets: $25 Grand Foundation Member Tickets: Sponsored by Commercial Maintenance Renovation Includes pre-party, meal by Speer BBQ & Brodie Stewart Concert *Alcohol can be purchased separately Brodie Stewart grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and spent his summers in Red Bluff California.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub December 9, 2008 Lemuel, Lesbians and A Lot of Laughs: JILL JACOBSON Recalls Erin Jones’ Humorous Tribute to Falcon Crest Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) “Of course,” was Jill’s spontaneous reaction when I contacted her to request an inter- view, and we scheduled a phone conversation for Tuesday, December 9, 2008. “It’s totally my pleasure,” she said when we started our interview. “Falcon Crest is one of those great, great times…” The actress regretted that the series was not on the air in the United States at the moment and was kind of envious of the current rerun on Ger- man pay-TV. She also wondered why it has not come out on DVD in the U.S. yet. “It didn’t get the same attention that some of the others got,” she stated sadly, alluding to Dallas and Dynasty. “It had some great actors, it was fun!” Before we knew it, we jumped right into the middle of both our memories of Falcon Crest and talked about some wonderful moments we recalled. Becoming Erin Jones “How did you get your job on the show in the first place?” I asked. “I auditioned several times,” the actress explained. She remembered that one of the characters she originally auditioned for was an attorney. “They were written with no humor,” she said about those characters. “Greg Strangis wrote the character of Erin Jones, and unanimously, Rod [Peterson], Claire [Whitaker] and Earl [Hamner] said: ‘Give it to Jill!’ That was after I had auditioned for the show at least three times.” She remembered how she started on the show: “My first scene was with Jane Wyman.” “In the study of the Falcon Crest Victorian Mansion,” I added, remembering the scene in episode 109 when Angela hired Miss Jones to get Chase’s vineyards quarantined.
