In The Wake Of The Flood TPAC thanks its audience for their support of the Grand Ole Opry, the Nashville Symphony, and all of the organizations and people impacted by the May 2010 flooding in Nashville.

Immediately following the flood, TPAC accommodated the Opry, the Symphony, and other organizations in need of performance space, and patrons attending the Broadway tour of A Chorus Line donated $47,892 to relief efforts coordinated by the Community Foundation. On six nights, when Ryman Auditorium was not available, the Opry’s show went on at War Memorial Auditorium — which served as its home from 1939 to 1943, and is now managed by TPAC. Between May and December, TPAC will have coordinated 20 Symphony events in Jackson Hall or War Memorial, where the symphony performed its first concert in 1946 and continued to appear until TPAC opened. TPAC also donated resources to the Ben Folds benefit concert for the Symphony on November 27, with gratitude for local audience support.

TPAC extends heartfelt wishes for continued recovery and future success to all members of our community who were affected by the flooding.

Broadway Meets the Local Classroom The Broadway tour of In the Heights at TPAC March 22-27 will give local students a unique arts education opportunity. Thanks to a national educational grant from the Broadway League, the national industry trade association, TPAC Education staff and a teaching artist will work with students at Glencliff High School to explore themes in the show which are relevant to their lives and their community.

Winner of multiple 2008 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, In the Heights gives voice to three generations of a family. The uplifting musical is set in Washington Heights, a vibrant Hispanic neighborhood in upper west Manhattan with a rich history of immigration throughout the history of New York. Crossing cultures and generations, the show celebrates the American life with a fresh point of view and many genres of upbeat music.

With a grant from the League two years ago, TPAC Education worked with Fort Campbell High School students, who created “soundtracks of their lives” inspired by Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.

Watch for news about the Glencliff project and make plans to celebrate your American life with family and friends at In The Heights.

With your help, TPAC Education has served more than 1.5 million children from pre-school through high school over three decades. For more information and to make a donation, visit www.tpac.org/support or call 615-782-4000. Amy Marsalis Ofﬁ cial Spokesperson for NashvilleGoesRed.org

Bill Cosby is, by any standards, one of the most influential stars in America today. Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people’s lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Bill Cosby’s comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton and Jonathan Winters.

The 1984-92 run of The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on how success is measured. His status at the top of the TVQ survey year after year continues to confirm his appeal as one of the most popular personalities in America.

For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, was the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson

Recently, the Bill Cosby app was launched and available on iPhone and soon to be Android enabled phones. This FREE app has rarely seen videos, concert information and audio books. For more information about this app and other Bill Cosby apps, visit www.billcosby.com/mobile.

In June 2010, Bill Cosby and JELL-O reunited to bring about smiles. JELL-O and Cosby launched the brand’s most ambitious campaign in years – Hello JELL-O – to once again bring moments of happy to people, everyday, everywhere. Cosby will be serving behind-the-scenes as an executive producer on the integrated effort and will help produce a spot within the new trademark focused campaign by selecting the best giggle in America through a nationwide open casting call staged in 22-cities throughout the summer. Visit facebook.com/JELL-O.

Additionally, Cosby will host The Bill Cosby Show, “OBKB,” a series of 10-minute webisodes presented by JELL-O. “OBKB” is the language of the Mush Mouth character from “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids” and it is his expression for “OK.” “Bill-B Cosby-B” interviews kids between the ages of 6 and 11, mining spontaneous and unexpected comedy from their responses. Episodes of “OBKB” air on Cosby’s Ustream channel, www.ustream.tv/billcosby.

The Cosby Show - The 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition, released by First Look Studios and Carsey- Werner, available in stores or online at www.billcosby.com. The DVD box set of the NBC television hit series is the complete collection of one of the most popular programs in the history of television, garnering 29 Emmy® nominations with six wins, six Golden Globe® nominations with three wins and ten People’s Choice Awards.

“The Cosby Show is a message for all time: the family and raising your children matters most,” said Bill Cosby. “Many people approach me and say that the show made them aware that there could be a better life out there for them. At the same time they say that the show still makes them laugh.”

The box set also includes an exclusive, all-new, never-before-seen interview with Bill Cosby, a 25th anniversary hard cover commemorative book, a tribute photo and personal letter from Bill Cosby, a photo gallery slide show, an interview with director Jay Sandrich, a blooper reel and “A Look Back Special.” Also, as an added bonus, with each purchase, fans can redeem two free music downloads and Cosby ringtones.

Cosby has touched the hearts of a new generation of young children with his Emmy Award winning Little Bill animated series, which aired daily on Nickelodeon and Saturday mornings on CBS. The show was based on Cosby’s popular children’s books. His interest in young people also spawned his best-selling book, COSBY Congratulations! Now What?, published by Hyperion. The book contains his amusing yet wise take on college life and what lies ahead for the new graduate in the real world.

Friends of a Feather: One of Life’s Little Fables, a HarperEntertainment book released in 2003, is a collaboration with his daughter, Erika, who did the Illustrations. It is a beautiful story that explores the theme of being true to yourself.

I Am What I Ate … and I’m frightened!!!, published by HarperCollins was released on September 21, 2004, was also on the New York Times Best Seller List. It offers a hip, humorous, hard-earned wisdom on the healthy lifestyle and the behavior behind it.

Fatherhood was launched appropriately enough on Father’s Day as an animated series on Nick at Nite. Bill and Camille Cosby produced a live action/animated Fat Albert motion picture in 2004. The movie introduced a new generation to the loveable character and his friends initially famous through the unforgettable Cosby comedy routines about them. The Fat Albert television show and feature now available on DVD.

Cosby’s initial immediate success began with Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow, Right? and continued with many other comedy albums. He also has released a number of jazz recordings, including hello, friend: to ennis with love (released in 1997). Cosby has earned five Grammy Awards for best comedy album.

Bill Cosby represents the voice of a vast, ordinary world. Everyone seems to easily identify with his characters and the situations they find themselves in. He gives the twist of the ridiculous to everyday faults, foibles and successes and makes them a recognizable slice of life. Bill Cosby points out the humor in our lives, and in doing so, he touches our hearts. Because of this, his appeal is not restricted to any specific group. His qualities have endeared him to people from all walks of life.

It is the fusion of these qualities that has resulted in television’s biggest and most influential hit of the modern era, The Cosby Show. The show was credited by many for single-handedly resurrecting the sitcom genre. Cosby’s return to television after eight years was prompted by what he perceived as a lack of relevance and an abundance of superficiality in TV comedy programming. Week after week of #1 ratings and the almost unanimous critical acclaim only confirms that others agree with his opinion. In June 1985, Life Magazine wrote:

“Cosby’s success may have changed the game as well as the scores.Before his show hit the air, many viewers had rejected prime time television as an electronic wasteland of crime, slime, glitz and glands...What Cosby offered instead was a gentle, whimsical, warm-hearted sitcom about family life that found humor in the little things that happen in every home and everlasting value in the love and trust that exist between parents and children...Nobody actually says this family represents the whole human family, but the delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed perspective on their own domestic lives.”

His success on television, which had been a catalyst in promoting NBC to first place, has been matched in other areas. In 1986 he broke Radio City’s 53-year-old attendance record for his concert appearance. In 1987 wife Camille Cosby produced a home video cassette called Bill Cosby: 49 which was distributed by Kodak and sold in the hundreds of thousands. A comedy album on Geffen Records, Those of You With or Without Children, You’ll Understand, sold close to a million copies.

In the publishing world, Bill Cosby has shattered records with each of his books. Fatherhood, published by Doubleday/Dolphin in May of 1986. It remained for over half of its fifty-four weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List at #1. It has sold 2.6 million hardcover copies and 1.5 million paperbacks (published by Berkeley). The audiobook is also available online at www.billcosby.com and read by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, accomplished television and stage actor, best known as Theo Huxtable. His next Doubleday/Dolphin title, Time Flies, had a first printing of 1.75 million copies in 1987. Like its predecessor, it too remained at the top of the New York Times list.

Love and Marriage, was published by Doubleday/Dolphin in April of 1989 and covered everything from childhood romances and adolescent crushes to first love, dating and courtship, the ebb and flow of relationships and the rewards of marriage.

Childhood (published by Putnam in 1991), deals with the predicaments of growing up and coming of age, combining stories of his legendary childhood with comic insights about children of today.

Exercising his deep concern with projecting positive images of African Americans, Cosby together with partners Tom Werner and Marcy Carsey, produced A Different World on NBC from 1987-1993. In his partnership, they also put on the air Here and Now (starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner) for NBC from 1992-1993 and in 1992 the revival of the classic Groucho Marx show, You Bet Your Life, for first run syndication. They re-teamed again with the CBS sitcom Cosby, which ran from 1996-2000.

At one point in the 1999-2000 television season, Cosby had three series running simultaneously—Cosby, Kids Say the Darndest Things (1996-2000) and Nickelodeon’s Little Bill. Cosby’s other television credits during the last decade included The Cosby Mysteries, a series on NBC, broadcast during the 1994-5 season, and the CBS television movie I Spy Returns, co-starring his original partner Robert Culp.

With over thirty years in comedy, Bill Cosby is for many young comedians the man who wrote the textbook. What Cosby teaches is to approach the monologue as a screenwriter looks at real life, bringing to each story the structure and body of a complete work. The Cosby student will also learn that one does not have to use offensive language or risqué topics to obtain laughs. According to Cosby, “Anyone should be able to say on stage what they want. But those who have knowledge, do understand that certain things on stage can be abused and misused. And if such topics are used just for laughter, the humor will not stand the test of time.”

Cosby is one of the best-selling comedians. Nine of Cosby’s albums have been certified Gold Records and six have been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Cosby made his motion picture debut in a powerful and dramatic role in the film Man and Boy, which was set in the post-Civil War era. He teamed with his I Spy partner, Robert Culp, for Hickey and Boggs. Cosby has co-starred with Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte in Uptown Saturday Night and in the sequel Let’s Do It Again. Cosby joined Raquel Welch in Mother, Jugs and Speed. He also starred in an animated film, Aesop’s Fables. Cosby and Sidney Poitier rejoined to co-star in their third film together, A Piece of the Action. He then teamed with Richard Pryor in a starring role in California Suite.

It was during Cosby’s nightclub circuit period (when he was first getting started) that Carl Reiner caught his act in Pittsburgh and introduced Cosby to producer Sheldon Leonard, who signed him to star in the I Spy series. The series, about two spies disguised as tennis bums, was an instant smash hit on TV. Cosby’s I Spy role as co-star broke the racial barrier of a dramatic television series. Before the series ended, he had won three Emmy Awards. It was a historic moment in casting when a black man was placed along side a white man as his equal and it created international interest in the show and in Bill Cosby. After I Spy, The Bill Cosby Show followed on NBC in 1969. In September 1976 Cosby hosted another variety show called Cos, this time on ABC.

In addition, Cosby has filmed numerous television specials, starred in NBC-TV’s Children’s Theater and PBS-TV’s The Electric Company (the latter created by the Sesame Street Children’s Television Workshop) and has written, directed and produced two educational TV shows (Concern, dealing with his concern for school children and Prejudice, an irreverent spoof of prejudiced hang-ups). His production company also turned out two animated specials featuring his lovable gallery of childhood pals. In the early 80’s, Cosby hosted Picture Pages on Captain Kangaroo’s Wake Up program on CBS. Today, the instruction Cosby leads, which is designed to develop readiness skills in pre-school children, is available on home video by Disney. The series was awarded the Gold Award at the 1981 International Film & TV Festival in New York as “Outstanding Children’s Program.”

Someone up there touched Bill Cosby with the gift of comedy when he was born in Philadelphia on July 12, 1937, the son of William and Anna Cosby. He has two younger brothers, Robert, Russell and a third brother, James who is deceased. It didn’t take Cosby long to begin making up gags and practicing routines. His appreciative audience of one, his mom, always encouraged his inventive performances of everyday happenings.

Cosby attended Mary Channing Wister Elementary School along with his pals Fat Albert, Old Weird Harold, Dumb Donald, Rudy, Nolan and Weasel—all later immortalized by Bill Cosby’s comedy routines. When school was out, they could all be found romping through the “projects” or around the Ninth Street Bridge. It was there that Cosby acquired his lifetime love of sports. Cosby’s sixth grade teacher, Mary B. Forchic, sensed his genius when she wrote on his report card, “William is a boy’s boy, an all-around fellow, and he should grow up to do great things.” Project2_Layout 1 11/1/10 2:28 PM Page 3

Vanderbilt Center for Surgical Weight Loss About his high school sports career, Cosby humorously claims, “I was on the ninth grade football team which was made up of me and ten other guys from the remedial gym class. All we had to do was look at the parallel bars, and they gave us a ‘D’. I never got into the game and I had to give my jersey to the guy who had ripped his.”

He often neglected his studies for athletics and, after repeating the tenth grade, he left school to join the Navy. He finished high school via a correspondence course while still in the service. When he was discharged, he enrolled at Temple University with an athletic scholarship and earned academic honors. His goal was to become a physical education teacher. He probably could have made it as a professional football player, but the world is richer in laughter because he decided on show business.

To support himself during his college days, Cosby tended bar at night, where he found a ready-made audience for his brand of humor. The enthusiasm of his customers convinced him that he might have a chance as a comedian.

His first stage appearance (for $5 a night) was at a nightspot called “The Underground” in a small room named “The Cellar.” It didn’t have a stage, so Cosby did his act on a table with a chair propped on it. He not only had to climb over the bar to get to the “stage,” but he couldn’t stand up because of his height. He was probably the world’s first “sitdown” comedian.

The beatniks were “in” at that time in New York’s Greenwich Village, and word of Cosby’s comedy spread from Philly. A club called “The Gaslight” booked him for sixty dollars a week, and he was on his way.

His routines rocked audiences with laughter at the top clubs around the country. Many of his expressions became part of the jargon of this generation, like his famous drawn-out “riiiiiiiiight.” He established a rare rapport with all audiences. He talked about his youth in Philadelphia where two guys on the block shared one broken-down auto, crashed parties, cowered from trouble, and constantly scrimped around to raise the 19 cents they needed for gas for their car and the 14 dollars they needed for oil.

About his performances Cosby says, “I feel that in-person contact with people is the most important thing in comedy. While I’m up on stage, I can actually put myself into the audience and adjust my pace and timing to them. I can get into their heads through their ears and through their eyes. Only through this total communication can I really achieve what I’m trying to do.”

As busy as he is with his many ventures, Cosby has been a crusader throughout his career for a better world and for better understanding between people. Besides his involvement with a host of charity organizations, Cosby is also an active trustee of his alma mater, Temple University of Philadelphia. As philanthropists, Bill and Camille Cosby have made substantial gifts in support of education (most notably to predominantly African American colleges and universities) and to various social service and civil rights organizations.

In addition, Cosby earned a Masters Degree in Education (M. Ed.) in 1972 and his Doctorate in Education (Ed. D.) in 1977 from the University of Massachusetts. His doctoral thesis was titled “The Integration of Visual Media Via Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids Into the Elementary Schools Culminating as a Teacher Aid to Achieve Increased Learning.”

Cosby’s been busy raising a family, too. He married the former Camille Hanks on January 25, 1964, while she was still a student at the University of Maryland. They raised four daughters (Erika, Erinn, Ensa and Evin) and one son (Ennis Cosby) and now have three grandchildren. The family resides in New England.

When speaking of Camille, Cosby has urged an amendment to the saying, “Behind every good man there’s a good woman.” He suggests that “behind” should be substituted by “Three miles ahead.” Camille has not only raised five children, but has also been involved in her husband’s career. She has produced some of his albums, CDs and videos and has taped several concerts over the years. Also, she has earned her Masters and Doctoral degrees in Education from the University of Massachusetts.

Camille enjoyed great success adapting the best-selling book Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years. First she produced along with Judith Rutherford James, the property as a Broadway play and then as a television movie. The play was nominated for three Tony Awards and the television film won a Peabody Award. Camille also produced a one-hour sociological documentary film No Dreams Deferred, which aired on over 150 public television stations. When Oprah Winfrey debuted her new magazine in April 2000, she chose Camille Cosby as her very first interview.

On the evolution of his own style of comedy, Cosby states that he was drawn at an early age to the icons of jazz: Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Betty Carter. Through their musical example, Cosby learned to emulate in comedy their ability to take an idea and continually find new and innovative ways of expressing the same theme.

When Cosby and his pals yelled at the top of their lungs under the Ninth Street Bridge, the echo could be heard for blocks. The legacy of Cosby’s comedic genius continues to be heard around the world. 3... 2... 1 Take off to faraway lands with a 3-show package

SYNOPSIS

Join the Gingerbread Man, Shoemaker’s Elf, Big Bad Wolf, Ugly Duckling and more colorful characters for a musical, upside down fairy tale that adults and children love. As one critic said, Shrek is “a show the whole family will enjoy. The kids will love the characters and all the visual magic and beauty on stage. Adults can also enjoy the show because it does have topical humor and romance. But the best part of the whole show is the message, which is that you are beautiful no matter what the “outside” looks like… a great lesson that both old and young can take home in their hearts.”

A young ogre named Shrek is living in a swamp with his parents who send him alone into the world to make his living. They warn him that because of his looks, everyone will hate him, and he will not have a happy ending. Time passes, and Shrek is bitter, but content with his solitude when colorful fairy-tale beings arrive on his property. They are hiding from Farquaad, the villainous Lord of Duloc. Shrek sets out on a journey to see Farquaad determined to regain his privacy. Along the way, he rescues a comical, talkative donkey from the Lord’s goons. Despite Shrek’s resistance, Donkey becomes his constant companion.

Meanwhile, Lord Farquaad tortures Gingy, a gingerbread man, in an effort to locate the fairy tale creatures in hiding. King Harold, ruler of the entire Land of Far Far Away, enters and asks Farquaad to marry his daughter, Princess Fiona. The Lord quickly agrees, rushing out before the King has a chance to explain what happens to Fiona after sunset.

Shrek and Donkey enter Farquaad’s palace in the middle of a kingdom-wide lottery to choose the “brave knight” who will rescue Princess Fiona from the castle so that she can be married. (Her palace is surrounded by lava and protected by a fire-breathing dragon.) Impressed by Shrek’s size, appearance and expendability, Farquaad recruits the ogre to undertake the rescue in exchange for the deed to his swamp.

While Donkey contends with Dragon and her knights, Shrek makes his way to Fiona’s castle, where she’s annoyed by his lack of interest in playing-out a romantic rescue scene. He finally drags her off by force, escaping the angry Dragon with Donkey. Fiona is appalled that her rescuer is an ogre and not the Prince Charming of her dreams. Shrek explains that he is merely her champion and that she is to wed another. On the journey to Farquaad’s palace, as sunset nears, Fiona insists that they rest for the night and goes alone to a nearby cave where, unbeknownst to Donkey and Shrek, she undergoes a transformation.

The next day, Princess Fiona and Shrek enter a contest of one-upmanship, trying to outdo the other by revealing the difficulties of their past. They eventually discover common interests and begin to bond. As their friendship grows into love, Donkey insists that Shrek should gather his courage and express his feelings for Fiona. Shrek is looking for a flower to give her, when Donkey discovers what happens to her at night. Fiona confesses that she was cursed as a child and only a kiss from her true love will return her to her proper form. Shrek overhears a piece of their conversation, misunderstands, and storms off, later rebuffing Fiona, who reuluctantly agrees to marry Farquaad.

Meanwhile, the fairy tale creatures plan a revolt and Donkey goes to see Shrek in the swamp, convincing him of her love. They hurry to Duloc and interrupt the wedding before Farquaad can kiss Fiona. Shrek declares his love. Torn between love and her hope to break her curse, Fiona tries to escape the event, when the exiled fairy tale beings storm the wedding. During the commotion, the sun sets and...

54 *United Way of Metropolitan Nashville at Work Here. “There’s something special about this place.” * A Leader Among Leaders In 1981, Thomas F. Frist, Jr., and a charter group of Nashville leaders started the Alexis de Tocqueville Society as a way for leaders to publicly demonstrate their commitment to making Nashville a better community. Since that time, the Society has been adopted by major cities across the country and around the world. It has claimed as members such names as Gates, Dell, Lilly, Trump, and Hunt. We would like to recognize the members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, Alpha Chapter. Thank you for your leadership.
