    The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht in a Translation by George Tabori Revised by Alistair Beaton

    Press Release: Friday 8 March THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI BY BERTOLT BRECHT IN A TRANSLATION BY GEORGE TABORI REVISED BY ALISTAIR BEATON DIRECTED BY JONATHAN CHURCH OPENS AT THE DUCHESS THEATRE ON WEDNESDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2013 WITH PREVIEWS FROM WEDNESDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER Chichester Festival Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of Bertolt Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui will open at The Duchess Theatre on 25 September with previews from 18 September. The production will once again feature Henry Goodman reprising his award-winning performance in the title role. Chicago in the 1930s, the Great Depression – the perfect time for Arturo Ui and his mob of gangsters to run protection rackets for both workers and businesses. Soon Ui’s menacing shadow looms large across the entire city as he strives to seize absolute power. Written in 1941 just before the exiled Bertolt Brecht arrived in the USA, this epic parable of the rise of Hitler is one of his most accessible plays, shot through with razor-sharp humour. Prior to its West End run, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui will return to the Minerva Theatre Chichester for a limited engagement from 15 August to 14 September. Brecht’s work includes The Threepenny Opera (with Kurt Weill), The Life of Galileo, Mother Courage and Her Children, The Good Person of Szechuan and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. Jonathan Church is Chichester Festival Theatre’s Artistic Director. His credits for Chichester include Singin’ in the Rain, which transferred to the West End in 2012 and continues to play at the Palace Theatre, having received Olivier and Evening Standard Award nominations and a Whatsonstage.com Award for Best Choreographer.

    REFLECTION REFLECTION the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement

    REFLECTION REFLECTION The Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement “I’m taking a trip on the Greyhound bus line, I’m riding the front seat to New Orleans this time. Hallelujah I’m a travelin’, hallelujah ain’t it fine, Hallelujah I’m a travelin’ down freedom’s main line.” This reflection is based on the PBS documentary, “Freedom Riders,” which is a production of The American Experience. To watch the film, go to: http://to.pbs.org/1VbeNVm. SUMMARY OF THE FILM From May to November 1961, over 400 Americans, both black and white, witnessed the power of nonviolent activism for civil rights. The Freedom Riders were opposing the racist Jim Crow laws of the South by riding bus lines from Washington, D.C., down through the Deep South. These Freedom Rides were organized by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Despite the violence, threats, and extraor- dinary racism they faced, people of conscience, both black and white, Northern and Southern, rich and poor, old and young, carried out the Freedom Rides as a testimony to the basic truth all Americans hold: that the government must protect the constitutional rights of its people. Finally, on September 22, 1961, segregation on the bus lines ended. This was arguably the movement that changed the force and effectiveness of the Civil Rights Movement as a whole and set the stage for other organized movements like the Selma to Montgomery March and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This documentary is based on the book Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Equality by Raymond Arsenault (http://bit.ly/1Vbn4sy).

    If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 395 338 CS 509 239 AUTHOR Drushel, Bruce E. TITLE If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs. PUB DATE Nov 95 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (81st, San Antonio, TX, November 18-24, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Conservatism; *Financial Support; *Government Role; Higher Education; Homosexuality; Legislators; Mass Media; *Moral Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Controversial Topics; First Amendment; Religious Right ABSTRACT Public broadcasting in the United States frequently draws criticism from conservatives who accuse it of pursuing an agenda promoting environmentalism, gay rights, affirmative action, reproductive choice, and other liberal causes, and of being hostile to conservative interests such as defense, the pro-life effort, and the promotion of Christian values. To date, concerns over censorship in public television have focused, not on overt efforts by Congress to determine the bounds of acceptable programs, but on not-so-subtle pressure at both the national and the local level to self-censor or risk loss of funding. Several recent cases of controversial programs have led to calls for ties between funding of the public television system and program content--programs such as "Tongues Untied," "Portrait of a Marriage," and "Tales of the City." Assessing the constitutionality of possible future efforts by Congress to place content-related conditions on the funding of,public television seems to require that 3 areas of law be analyzed: (1) the current statutory framework in which the public television system operates;(2) the recent case law in the area of the First Amendment and public broadcasting; and (3) relevant overarching judicial principles.

Student Lab Key Lesson 3: Naledi Jigsaw 77. Lesson 3 Author’s note Introduction Page The validity and importance of the theory of biological evolution runs strong throughout the topic of biology. Evolution serves as a foundation to many biological concepts by tying together the different tenants of biology, like ecology, anatomy, genetics, zoology, and taxonomy. It is for this reason that evolution plays a prominent role in the state and national standards and deserves thorough coverage in a classroom. A prime example of evolution can be seen in our own ancestral history, and this unit provides students with an excellent opportunity to consider the multiple lines of evidence that support hominid evolution. By allowing students the chance to uncover the supporting evidence for evolution themselves, they discover the ways the theory of evolution is supported by multiple sources. It is our hope that the opportunity to handle our ancestors’ bone casts and examine real molecular data, in an inquiry based environment, will pique the interest of students, ultimately leading them to conclude that the evidence they have gathered thoroughly supports the theory of evolution.

  • Actors' Stories Are a SAG Awards® Tradition

    Actors' Stories Are a SAG Awards® Tradition

    Actors' Stories are a SAG Awards® Tradition When the first Screen Actors Guild Awards® were presented on March 8, 1995, the ceremony opened with a speech by Angela Lansbury introducing the concept behind the SAG Awards and the Actor® statuette. During her remarks she shared a little of her own history as a performer: "I've been Elizabeth Taylor's sister, Spencer Tracy's mistress, Elvis' mother and a singing teapot." She ended by telling the audience of SAG Awards nominees and presenters, "Tonight is dedicated to the art and craft of acting by the people who should know about it: actors. And remember, you're one too!" Over the Years This glimpse into an actor’s life was so well received that it began a tradition of introducing each Screen Actors Guild Awards telecast with a distinguished actor relating a brief anecdote and sharing thoughts about what the art and craft mean on a personal level. For the first eight years of the SAG Awards, just one actor performed that customary opening. For the 9th Annual SAG Awards, however, producer Gloria Fujita O'Brien suggested a twist. She observed it would be more representative of the acting profession as a whole if several actors, drawn from all ages and backgrounds, told shorter versions of their individual journeys. To add more fun and to emphasize the universal truths of being an actor, the producers decided to keep the identities of those storytellers secret until they popped up on camera. An August Lineage Ever since then, the SAG Awards have begun with several of these short tales, typically signing off with his or her name and the evocative line, "I Am an Actor™." So far, audiences have been delighted by 107 of these unique yet quintessential Actors' Stories.
