That mysteriously compelling quality of life happening before our eyes is the goal, and I hope to learn as much as they do. This is going to be fun.” – Alan Alda, 2013 Master Teacher Since its inception in 2009, the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program, conceived and executed by Ten Chimneys Foundation, has brought the nation’s top regional theatre actors to Ten Chimneys to work with a world-renowned Master Teacher. Past Master Teachers include Lynn Redgrave , Olympia Dukakis , Joel Grey, and renowned Shakespearean Barry Edelstein . 2013 LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWS ANNOUNCED PAGE 1 OF 4 In consultation with a distinguished board of national advisors and in collaboration with top regional theatres from around the country, Ten Chimneys Foundation selected ten accomplished actors from the nominees submitted by this year’s cast of award-winning Partner Theatres. These exceptional ten actors, followed by their nominating theatres, have been selected as 2013 LuntLunt---- Fontanne Fellows : • DAVID ALAN ANDERSON – Indiana Repertory Theatre (Indianapolis, IN) • DAVID BREITBARTH – Asolo Repertory Theatre (Sarasota, FL) • KANDIS CHAPPELL – The Old Globe (San Diego, CA) • GEORGE DVORSKY – Paper Mill Playhouse (Millburn, NJ) • ROBIN GOODRIN NORDLI – Oregon Shakespeare Festival (Ashland, OR) • SHARON LAWRENCE – The Pasadena Playhouse (Pasadena, CA) • KATHLEEN MCCALL – Denver Center Theatre Company (Denver, CO) • DEE NELSON – Huntington Theatre Company (Boston, MA) • MARK NELSON – Cleveland Play House (Cleveland, OH) • ANDREW PHILPOT – PCPA Theaterfest (Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts)(Santa Maria, CA) TEN CHIMNEYS – PROGRAM HOST Ten Chimneys, the celebrated Wisconsin estate lovingly created by Broadway legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, served as a home and haven for the Lunts and for the artistic leaders of their era. The “best of the best” retreated to Ten Chimneys to relax, to plan, to be nourished, and to nurture lasting relationships, all within the gracious spaces the Lunts created. Hailed as one of the most inspirational historic sites in the country, this National Historic Landmark estate is now open to the public as a world-class house museum and a national resource for American theatre. It has quickly become THE place for accomplished and celebrated actors to gather, to be inspired, and to grow in the craft to which they have devoted their lives. “The place is a knockout, the place is beautiful, the place is inspiring, the place is transporting, the place is transformative. We have had an absolutely miraculous week here.” – Barry Edelstein, Master Teacher, 2010 2013 LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWS ANNOUNCED PAGE 2 OF 4 ABOUT THE LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM “The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a life-altering opportunity for the top theatre actors to expand their creative and mentoring abilities and to give back to their respective communities. We are excited about the opportunity to blend our 2013 selected Fellows with the talents and mentorship of the acclaimed Alan Alda. As the Lunts offered their estate to the artistic leaders of their time, Ten Chimneys Foundation continues to provide inspirational and professional growth for the theatre greats of this generation, celebrating the importance of lasting relationships and fostering a community built on mentorship.” – Randy Bryant, Ten Chimneys Foundation President and CEO Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were widely known for their dedication to the next generation of actors, counting among their protégés some of the most famous actors in the world. The Lunt- Fontanne Fellowship Program continues that tradition of mentorship at Ten Chimney by offering our nation’s accomplished actors the rare and deeply needed opportunity to grow artistically, hone their craft, renew their passion for their art form, deepen their commitment to mentorship, and form a national community of Lunt-Fontanne Fellows, all under the direction of a renowned Master Teacher. This historic context, and the inherent inspiration of Ten Chimneys, is why past Master Teachers and Fellows have raved about this program that has quickly gained a national reputation. “What Ten Chimneys Foundation is accomplishing with this program is truly astounding. This kind of opportunity simply hasn’t existed before, anywhere. And it’s so important; it’s so meaningful.” – Lynn Redgrave (1943-2010), Inaugural Master Teacher, 2009 Once chosen as Lunt-Fontanne Fellows, actors travel from across the country to Ten Chimneys for a week of intensive master classes, retreating to the estate the Lunts created to be the perfect working haven for themselves and for their circle of friends who comprised the “best of the best” in American theatre. The Lunts’ impact on American theatre was groundbreaking; the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is in place, in part, to honor and to carry on this legendary tradition of excellence. “There are few names in the theatre that carry the kind of resonance as the name Lunt-Fontanne. For those of us who work on the stage, the passion and devotion that Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne had for each other and their craft is the stuff of legend.” – Joel Grey, Master Teacher, 2012 LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM – PUBLIC OPPORTUNITIES At the close of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program guests are invited to attend two public programs. On Friday, July 26, Ten Chimneys Foundation will present A Conversation with Alan Alda, an intimate evening during which Mr. Alda will share stories about his life and his career. Those in attendance will also have the unique opportunity to participate in a question and answer period at the evening’s end. On Saturday, July 27, Mr. Alda and the ten 2013 Lunt-Fontanne Fellows will take the stage together for a Concluding Presentation, a rare look at the work they explored during their week at Ten Chimneys, as well as a one-night-only program highlighting the 2013 LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWS ANNOUNCED PAGE 3 OF 4 remarkable actors chosen as 2013 Lunt-Fontanne Fellows.

  • Attractions in Milwaukee Area and SE WI Cover Letter
    Attractions in Milwaukee Area and SE WI Cover letter Kathy and I have put together the attached documents to try to help everyone get as much as you can out of your visit to Milwaukee for our 2018 Red Warriors reunion. Hopefully, all of you will be able to use your free time during the reunion to visit some of these attractions. We’ve listed most of the high-profile attractions in southeast Wisconsin, tried to categorize them, provided summary information about each of them, and basic descriptions for each as well. Most of the description information was copied from the internet. Some personal comments were added where we thought appropriate. We have personally visited most of the attractions ourselves to see if they are, in our opinion, worthy of your time. We feel most are, but that is a matter of personal likes and dislikes. Most of the attractions are reasonably easy to find. All will require some mode of transportation to get to them from the Embassy Suites. If you are flying in and are not renting a car, maybe you can hook up with friends from the reunion who do have a car and ride with them to the attractions you all want to see. Our favorites from the list are: Harley Museum – Very interesting for Harley riders as well as non- riders. Really! Pabst Mansion – A grand turn of the 19th century home. Architecture, quality of construction, and contents are very interesting. Chudnow Museum – A very interesting, massive collection of everyday stuff from about the turn of the 19th century till about the 1940’s.
