“Broadway on Sale!” The 89th Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ShowPlane to New York May 6 – May 10, 2009 “Broadway on Sale!” Spring is here. well, almost. And this can only mean that a wonderful theatre season in New York awaits us once more. Over the winter, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Drama Critic, Christopher Rawson, has been busy making his choices for our bi-annual trip to Broadway, and the line-up is shaping up to be an exciting one! As usual, Chris’ selections for this spring reflect his inspiring ability to offer diverse and exciting theater that appeals to our ShowPlaners’ tastes. This season musicals reign in the kingdom of theatre, and ShowPlaners will see those at the very top of the list – definitely the toughest tickets in town. And the “stars” are lighting the lights on Broadway, to be sure, and along the way Chris Rawson will show us the underpinnings of the theater with an impromptu, but private after-show visit or two, and introductions to some “Broadway babies.” He’ll also lead us in our traditional morning coffee discussion of the theatre scene and our line-up of shows. As for New York – this ever-evolving city will be bustling with its own unique array of activities that highlight the season. At our traditional “Welcome to Manhattan” dinner, you’ll have a chance to get acquainted with your traveling companions – at one of the denizens’ favored dining spots. And for those who choose to join us, we’ve planned a Farewell Dinner at a “very New York” venue. Between theatre offerings, you might wish to cultivate your knowledge of the city’s most celebrated sights and marvelous shopping. And, if that isn’t enough, we’ll offer you a private tour to an interesting corner of Manhattan and exchange personal observances of our morning’s experiences over lunch. Great dining and sightseeing, show-stopping star performances, raucous comedy, toe-tappin’ musicals – we hope you’ll join us for what’s to come. 06 MAY / WEDNESDAY – Departing Pittsburgh this morning, our flight is bound for New York. Upon arrival, we are taken directly to the Marriot Marquis Hotel – located mid-town at the doorstep of theatres, fine dining, shopping and sightseeing. We’ll have a little free time to get situated and plant our feet on the ground to get the feel of the area around our hotel before we gather for our Welcome to New York dinner. At over 100 years old and owned by the original family, Barbetta is the revolutionary icon of New York restaurants. In past visits, ShowPlaners have enjoyed the fine Italian fare, the attentive service of the experienced wait staff, as well as the comfortably elegant European décor. Our proximity to Broadway also makes this a hot spot for pre/post theater dining. After time to meet, mingle and dine with our traveling friends, we head for our first evening performance. “Billy Elliot,” the huge London hit musical that has finally arrived on Broadway. This funny and poignant tale is set in England's Northeast against the background of a miners' strike. It concerns a British working-class boy's dreams that run contrary to family expectations – he wants to be a dancer – and the obstacles and advocates he encounters. Haydn Gwynne, who created the role of the dance teacher in the London production, repeats her work for Broadway “Billy Elliot” audiences. Elton John composed the music, and the book is based on the hit film of the same name. After the performance, we return to our hotel – just a few steps away. 07 MAY / THURSDAY – Your day is free to enjoy New York as you please. You may choose to take advantage of the wonderful shopping on the legendary Madison and Fifth Avenues not far from our hotel; roam one of the world-class museums; or just take a long walk absorbing the sights and sounds of our nation's most famous city. Need some ideas on what to see and do? Your tour escorts will be available to offer a multitude of suggestions and expert guidance. Tonight, we take in the show that many consider it to be one of the most perfect musical comedies – for its lean storytelling, colorful characters and plot-rich songs. The libretto is by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows and based on two short stories by Damon Runyon. The slightly seedy denzens of 1940s-era Broadway are played by power-stars Oliver Platt (“The West Wing”), Lauren Graham (“Gilmore Girls”) and Craig Bierko (“The Music Man”). A fly-by-night gambler woos a Salvation Army lass, and a showgirl tries to hook the founder of "the oldest established, permanent “Guys and Dolls” floating crap game in New York." With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, “Guys and Dolls” classic score includes “Fugue for Tinhorns,” “A Bushel and a Peck,” “If I Were a Bell,” “Adelaide's Lament,” “I'll Know,” “Guys and Dolls,” “More I Cannot Wish You,” “Luck Be A Lady” and the ever-rousing “Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat.” Unlikely love ensues, but can the attraction of opposites succeed? After the performance, we make the easy walk back to our hotel. 08 MAY / FRIDAY – Again a day to enjoy New York on your own. But for those who choose our half-day Optional Tour, we continue with our series that will introduce you to “a little corner of New York” with one of our favorite guides bringing to life the events and personal chronicles that had profound influence on the times and the future development of Manhattan, and eventually the rest of America. On the way back through mid-town, before returning to our hotel, we take time for lunch that reflects the ambience of our tour. Later our group will meet at this evening’s performance. “West Side Story” transports the achingly beautiful tale of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the turbulent streets of the Upper West Side in 1950's New York City. Two star-crossed lovers, Tony (Matt Cavenaugh – “Grey Gardens,” “A Catered Affair”) and Maria (Josefina Scaglione – “Hairspray”), find themselves caught between the rival street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds, the Jets and the Sharks. Their struggle to exist together in a world of violence, hate and prejudice is one of the most heart-breaking, relevant and innovative musical masterpieces of our time. Librettist Arthur Laurents directs this revival of this classic ground-breaking musical, which introduces “the unprecedented element of selectively weaving Spanish throughout both the book and songs.” We cross Broadway to “West Side Story” our hotel. 09 MAY / SATURDAY – Chris Rawson hosts his suggestions and secure tickets in advance for shows Morning Coffee Discussion of the week's theatre offering availability. For those choosing our offerings, as well as our own mini-version of the “Regards to Broadway” Dinner Option, we gather Tony Awards. Everyone attending will have the at a venue “onsite” and meant for the “see and be chance to be critic-for-an-hour as we survey the seen” crowd. It’s a big Times Square production – current New York theatre season, including our just perfect for pre-theatre dining and people selections. Conversation can be informative as watching – in a shiny and sleek bi-level world. well as spirited in our exchange of opinions. For Rarely does a do-it-all spot succeed at everything, the rest of the day, you have time to follow your Blue Fin but Chef Stephen Hanson knows how to choose and own pursuits on your last day in Manhattan. optional dinner venue handle his fish. There’s no question: Blue Fin is Some may choose to take in a Saturday matinee reeling them in hook, line and sinker. After dinner, independently – and we will be pleased to make we walk to our theatre only a few steps away. Later, we all rendezvous to attend the performance of a new musical comedy based on the classic hit movie: “9 to 5: The Musical” features scoring by seven-time Grammy Award winner Dolly Parton that includes the blockbuster title song and direction by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello. Emmy and Tony Award nominee Allison Janney stars as Violet, the super-efficient office manager who joins her fellow co-workers – frazzled divorcée Judy (Stephanie J. Block) and sexy secretary Doralee (Megan Hilty) – to turn the tables on their “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” of a boss, Franklin Hart (Tony nominee Marc Kudisch). In a riotous turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – while Hart remains “otherwise engaged” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. But it’s a plan that spins wildly out of control. Afterward the show, we make the very short walk to our hotel. 10 MAY / SUNDAY – We depart from our hotel by motorcoach, bound for the airport. Our flight home arrives in time to spend a beautiful spring afternoon in Pittsburgh. As you can see, we have lots of events planned, and there will still be plenty of time left to your own designs. We will reside at the well-located and comfortable NY Marriott Marquis Hotel. And of course, we have as our favorite leader Christopher Rawson, senior drama critic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – you won’t want to miss Chris’ commentaries! We hope that you have an interest in what promises to be a wonderful spring theatre season in New York. Should you choose to share our company on this tour, you can expect to hear from us again soon with descriptions of our “Optional Offerings.” If you have any questions prior to that time, we would be most pleased to hear from you at 412-441-3131.

    The Sight-Loss Support Group of Central Pennsylvania, Inc. Turning Darkness into Light Since 1982 [email protected] www.slsg.org 814-238-0132 June 2015 Some Thoughts from Bill Wow! It has been a busy spring. We have accomplished so much it's hard to put it into a few words. We have closed our “bricks and mortar” office and started our virtual officenot an easy task after 32 years of record keeping. Thanks to all who helped in the move. I want to especially thank Roger Gaumond, who has gone above and beyond in: managing the move of our inventory to a storage area, researching and obtaining a mobile "hot spot" telephone system, obtaining Go-To-Meeting software so we can communicate with remote individuals and organizations, setting up our first Community Information Presentations, and generally keeping us all going. We started a new Outreach program to present who we are, what we do, and how we do it. This has been met with a lot of enthusiasm both internally and externally. So far, we have gone to several area retirement homes to give this talk and to present guest speakers on subjects like the Audio-Description program, the Puppy Raiser program, and North Central Sight Services. Thank you to Roger (again), Eileen Rivoir, Nanette Anslinger, Rana Arnold, Susan Kennedy, and Heather Engel. Susan developed a brief survey and a method of capturing data from those surveys taken after presentations, to monitor and measure how we are doing. This is vital, for if we do not measure we cannot report the results to United Way.

Primary and secondary data were used in this study. Primary data were collected directly from students who reside off-campus. Data were collected through the use of questionnaire focusing on type, location and crime occurrence in the study area. The coordinates of the study locations were obtained with handheld Global Positioning System (GPS). However, secondary data included base map of the study area. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 5 off-campus locations. Proportionate sampling was used to select 190 hostels, one-third of existing 570 hostels. Systematic random sampling was further adopted in selecting 190 students in the study location. Such that in each hostel, a student was administered with a copy of questionnaire and a total of 190 copies of questionnaire were administered in the study. Methods of simple percentages, 3-points likert scale and geo-spatial techniques were used for data analysis. Results reveal burglary, theft, rape and assault as major crimes.

  • Comedians, Characters, Cable Guys & Copyright Convolutions
    Legal Lessons in On-Stage Character Development: Comedians, Characters, Cable Guys & Copyright Convolutions Clay Calvert⊗ ABSTRACT This article addresses the trials and tribulations faced by stand-up comedians who seek copyright protection for on-stage characters they create, often during solo performances. The article initially explores the current, confused state of the law surrounding the copyrightability of fictional characters. The doctrinal muddle is magnified for comedians because the case law that addresses the fictional character facet of copyright jurisprudence overwhelmingly involves characters developed within the broader framework of plots and storylines found in traditional media artifacts such as books, comic strips, cartoons and movies. The article then deploys the 2014 federal court ruling in Azaria v. Bierko as a timely analytical springboard for addressing comedic-character copyright issues. Finally, the article offers multiple tips and suggestions for comedians and actors seeking copyright protection in their on- stage characters. I. INTRODUCTION The Whacky World of Jonathan Winters aired on television from 1972 through 1974.1 The humor of its star, Jonathan Winters,2 came primarily “from his construction of outrageously fantastic situations and characters.”3 Those characters included the Oldest Airline Stewardess4 and, perhaps most notably, ⊗ Professor & Brechner Eminent Scholar in Mass Communication and Director of the Marion B.

Recuerdo el escenario tan inmenso, en la década de 1990, bailábamos La Consagración del Tango con Julio Bocca. Le dije a Julio: “Mirá que me tiemblan un poquito las piernas”.
