MEDIA CONTACT: Fred Tracey Marketing/PR Director 760.643.5217 [email protected] Bets Malone Makes Cabaret Debut at ClubM at the Moonlight Amphitheatre on Jan. 13 with One-Woman Show “Broadway the BROAD Way” Download Art Here Vista, CA (January 4, 2018) – Moonlight Amphitheatre’s ClubM opens its 2018 series of cabaret concerts at its intimate indoor venue on Sat., Jan. 13 at 7:30 p.m. with Bets Malone: Broadway the BROAD Way. Making her cabaret debut, Malone will salute 14 of her favorite Broadway actresses who have been an influence on her during her musical theatre career. The audience will hear selections made famous by Fanny Brice, Carol Burnett, Betty Buckley, Carol Channing, Judy Holliday, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Barbra Streisand, Elaine Stritch, and Nancy Walker. On making her cabaret debut: “The idea of putting together an original cabaret act where you’re standing on stage for ninety minutes straight has always sounded daunting to me,” Malone said. “I’ve had the idea for this particular cabaret format for a few years. I felt the time was right to challenge myself, and I couldn’t be more proud to debut this cabaret on the very stage that offered me my first musical theatre experience as a nine-year-old in the Moonlight’s very first musical Oliver! directed by Kathy Brombacher.” Malone can relate to the fact that the leading ladies she has chosen to celebrate are all attached to iconic comedic roles. “I learned at a very young age that getting laughs is golden,” she said. -
San Diego's Class 1 Streetcars
San Diego’s Class 1 Streetcars Historic Landmark #339 Our History, Our Heritage, and Our Future 1910 - 1912: The Panama-California Exposition and the Creation of the Class 1 Streetcars In 1910 the long awaited opening of the Panama Canal was fast approaching. San Diego's leaders decided to use this event to advertise San Diego as the port of choice for ships traveling through the canal by holding the Panama-California Exposition. It was set to take place in 1915 and would be held on a parcel of land just north of downtown, soon to be named Balboa Park. Early San Diego developer and streetcar system owner, John D. Spreckels, directed his engineers at the San Diego Electric Railway Company to design a special new "state of the art" streetcar to carry patrons to and from the exposition at Balboa Park. The mastercar builders at the San Diego Electric Railway Co. designed a unique new streetcar just for San Diego's mild climate. These large and beautiful Arts & Crafts style streetcars became known as San Diego’s Class 1 streetcars. Spreckels approved the designs and an order for 24 of these brand new streetcars was sent to the renowned St. Louis Car Company for construction. 1912 - 1939: Class 1 Streetcars in operation throughout San Diego The Class 1 streetcars provided fun and dependable transportation to countless thousands of patrons from 1912 to 1939. They operated throughout all of San Diego's historic districts and neighborhoods, as well as to many outlying areas. The Class 1 streetcars successfully supplied the transportation needs for the large crowds that attended the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, and went on to serve through WWI, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression. -
OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We Can’T Imagine a More Perfect Show to Give Our 2016–2017 Season a Great Launch (If You’Ll Pardon the Pun)
OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show. -

George Tooker David Zwirner
David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong George Tooker Artist Biography George Tooker (1920–2011) is best known for his use of the traditional, painstaking medium of egg tempera in compositions reflecting urban life in American postwar society. Born in Brooklyn, he received a degree in English from Harvard University before he began his studies at the Art Students League in 1943, where he worked under the regionalist painter Reginald Marsh. In 1944, Tooker met the artist Paul Cadmus, and they soon became lovers. Cadmus, sixteen years his senior, introduced Tooker to the artist Jared French, with whom he was romantically involved, and French’s wife, Margaret Hoening French, and the four of them traveled extensively throughout Europe and vacationed regularly together. Tooker appears in a number of the photographs taken by PaJaMa, the photographic collective formed by Cadmus and the Frenches, and he served as a model for Cadmus’s painting Inventor (1946). Cadmus and French introduced Tooker to the time-intensive medium of egg tempera, which would become his principal medium. Tooker’s career found early success, due in part to his friend Lincoln Kirstein, the co-founder of the New York City Ballet, encouraging the inclusion of his work in the Fourteen Americans (1946) and Realists and Magic-Realists (1950) exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art. In 1950, Subway (1950) entered the Whitney Museum of American Art’s collection—the artist’s first museum acquisition—and the following year he received his first solo exhibition at the Edwin Hewitt Gallery. Near the end of the 1940s, Tooker parted ways with Cadmus because of the latter’s ongoing relationship with the Frenches. -

Historical Inaccuracies and a False Sense of Feminism in Disney’S Pocahontas
Cyrus 1 Lydia A. Cyrus Dr. Squire ENG 440 Film Analysis Revision Fabricated History and False Feminism: Historical Inaccuracies and a False Sense of Feminism in Disney’s Pocahontas In 1995, following the hugely financial success of The Lion King, which earned Disney close to one billion is revenue, Walt Disney Studios was slated to release a slightly more experimental story (The Lion King). Previously, many of the feature- length films had been based on fairy tales and other fictional stories and characters. However, over a Thanksgiving dinner in 1990 director Mike Gabriel began thinking about the story of Pocahontas (Rebello 15). As the legend goes, Pocahontas was the daughter of a highly respected chief and saved the life of an English settler, John Smith, when her father sought out to kill him. Gabriel began setting to work to create the stage for Disney’s first film featuring historical events and names and hoped to create a strong female lead in Pocahontas. The film would be the thirty-third feature length film from the studio and the first to feature a woman of color in the lead. The project had a lot of pressure to be a financial success after the booming success of The Lion King but also had the added pressure from director Gabriel to get the story right (Rebello 15). The film centers on Pocahontas, the daughter of the powerful Indian chief, Powhatan. When settlers from the Virginia Company arrive their leader John Smith sees it as an adventure and soon he finds himself in the wild and comes across Pocahontas. -
The Acting Company and Guthrie Theater – Join Together to Present Shakespeare’S Romeo and Juliet at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts
March 29, 2010 Two Tony® award-winning companies – The Acting Company and Guthrie Theater – join together to present Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Society-driven Edwardian era used as backdrop in a new production the New York Times raves will “steal your heart” Performances take place April 20 – 24 in the Zellerbach Theatre (Philadelphia, March 29, 2010) — The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts’ season of Shakespeare concludes with two of America’s most renowned touring/regional theater companies – The Acting Company and The Guthrie Theater – in six performances of Romeo and Juliet, April 20 – 24, 2010. The Annenberg Center is the final stop on a 26-city tour for the Acting Company and Guthrie Theater that has taken them to college campuses and other performing arts venues across the country since early January. Tickets for the performance are $20-$55. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. Young love has never been so delightful or dangerous as in this stirring new production co- produced by The Acting Company and The Guthrie Theater. While the story remains the same, turn of the century Verona has been chosen as the backdrop, allowing the production to have a more contemporary sensibility. Elizabethan dress is traded in for tuxedos and fashionable Edwardian-era gowns. Romeo and Juliet is directed by Penny Metropulos, former associate artistic director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The star-crossed lovers are played by Sonny Valicenti (Romeo), who has performed as part of the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and recently appeared on TNT’s Raising the Bar and Laura Esposito (Juliet), a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.
