Minnesota.Pdf I CONIC M INNESOTA It’s not a trip without seeing some of the state’s signature sights By Randy Mink Any group visit to Minnesota should include a few of its one-of-a-kind attractions—special places prime for photo opportunities and bragging rights.

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • Walker Art Center and the Current Will Not Present Rock the Garden in Summer 2021
    NEWS Press Contact: Rachel Joyce 612.375.7635 [email protected] Online Press Room: walkerart.org/press-releases WALKER ART CENTER AND THE CURRENT WILL NOT PRESENT ROCK THE GARDEN IN SUMMER 2021 MINNEAPOLIS, NOVEMBER 11, 2020 — Due to uncertainties around planning for a large-scale outside event next summer, the Walker and The Current will not present Rock the Garden in 2021. After thoughtful consideration of how Rock the Garden could be coordinated and held in the time of COVID-19, the two organizations determined that the event in its current form could not be done in a way that would guarantee the safety of community members and artists. The decision to not present Rock the Garden next summer was a difficult one for the organizations to make, as both music fans and members of the Twin Cities community. The Walker and The Current have been teaming up to present the Twin Cities’ unofficial kick off to summer since 2008 and are hopeful that fans will be able to join together again soon. “This is a very difficult decision for both organizations. Although it may seem premature, the bulk of the planning, including booking bands on tour and securing permits, needs to be completed by the New Year. It is not feasible to do this work given the current situation with COVID-19. We are disappointed to not be able to share the event with our community next summer,” comments Mary Ceruti, Executive Director of the Walker. “Rock the Garden takes months of planning, and we have a talented team of event experts who know what is required to make it a success.
