Biographical Sketch Jack Mulqueen, is best known to Chicagoans as an accomplished figure in local television and entertainment. A native Chicagoan, born in 1933 on the city’s South Side, Mulqueen had a passion for the world of entertainment since his childhood. In his youth, Jack was an avid moviegoer and had a passion for performance. After serving in the army in Colorado during the early 1950s, Mulqueen returned to Chicago and entered the world of children’s entertainment. Inspired by other puppeteers, like Burr Tillstrom, Mulqueen began organizing puppet shows and workshops across the city. It is through these puppet shows that Jack met his creative partner and future wife, Elaine Mulqueen. The couple soon formed a puppet show of their own and began to perform full time around Chicago. After experiencing success in the world of puppetry, the Mulqueens transitioned into the world of local Chicago television. The Mulqueens began their television careers on the popular children’s show Bozo’s Circus as reoccurring guests.

  • The Scheduling of Programs Has Become Part of the Children's Television Debate
    The scheduling of programs has become part of the children's television debate. The argument is that stations are scheduling programs in the early morning hours when children are not awake. The data revealed that this is not the predominant trend in the scheduling practices of independent stations. Ofthe 322 children's educational and informational programs broadcast per week, only ten programs (3.1 %) were broadcast prior to 6 AM. In other words 96.9% of the programs were aired at 6 AM or later. Further analysis indicates that 70 programs (21 %) were broadcast before 7 AM. Accordingly, approximately 80% ofthe programs broadcast by independent stations aired at 7 AM or later. 2. Educational Specials: Apart from regularly scheduled 30 minute programs, there have been significant increases in the number of educational specials appearing on independent television stations. These specials can be either 30 minutes or sometimes an hour in length. During the first quarter of 1990, independent stations broadcast 19.5 hours of educational specials. The number ofeducational specials broadcast during the first quarter of 1994 tripled, amounting to 63.5 hours. (See Exhibit D.) With respect to scheduling, all of the educational specials broadcast during the period were aired after 7 AM. Indeed, the most popular time periods for these specials were between the hours of 11 AM and 5 PM. - 8- Importantly, a significant number of these specials were produced locally by the stations themselves. Some examples of educational specials produced and broadcast

    HELEN WELCH in Superstar: The Carpenters Reimagined Friday, October 23, 2020 - 7:30pm Stocker Arts Center - Hoke Theatre Produced by...................................................................................................Helen Welch Musical Director..............................................................................................Joe Leaman Bass/Vocals/Copyist…………………………………………………………….Bryan Thomas Drums/Percussion/Vocals……………………………………………………Anthony Taddeo Guitar/Vocals...............................................................................................Charlie Trenta Management: Howard Perl Management From Helen… Growing up I now realize how lucky I was to be surrounded by many different genres of music from opera to jazz to flamenco and country music. I would borrow my Mum’s Carpenters cassette tapes and play them over and over in my bedroom. I loved these songs with Richard’s lush arrangements, Karen’s warm alto voice and the delicious harmonies they created. As a teenager and young adult, I admit I was a CCF (Closet Carpenters fan!!), but visiting friends’ houses I would often notice a Carpenters CD in their collections. The Carpenters seem to be everyone’s ’guilty pleasure’. In 2003, I moved to the USA and one night at my weekly jazz club residency, I decided to sing a Carpenters song. It was the first time I’d ever sung a Carpenters song in public. I will never forget the reaction of the crowd and their enthusiasm after I’d finished singing. I tried singing that same song in some other venues and the reaction was always the same - overwhelming enthusiasm for the music of this brother-sister duo. It was then that the idea for this show began to formulate. Since then the production and content of “Superstar” has taken many twists and turns and undergone many changes and re-writes.
