While at OCHSA, she was a member of the performance group Kids Next Door. Daebreon received a BA in Theater Performance, with a concentration in Theater for Children, from The University of Texas at Austin. Starring as Lilly in Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, she toured elementary schools throughout Texas. As Akela the Wolf in The Jungle Book, Daebreon had the privilege of performing for children from Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and Texas School for the Deaf.

As a gifted actress and singer, Daebreon feels extremely blessed to have graced stages in Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Japan, and throughout the United States. She is excited about the doors opening for her in commercials, film, and television. First Lady Suite is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. 6 Director’s Note Michael John LaChiusa is an American musical theatre and opera composer, lyricist, and librettist. He is best known for shows such as Hello Again, Marie Christine, The Wild Party, and See What I Wanna See. He was nominated for four Tony Awards in 2000 for his score and book for both Marie Christine and The Wild Party. First Lady Suite is a musical and was produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival at the Public Theater from November 30, 1993 through December 26, 1993, running for 32 performances. The musical contains four separate segments about four of the First Ladies of the United States of America and the people surrounding them. They are: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Mamie Eisenhower, Bess Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt. The show premiered Off-Broadway in 1993. The four vignettes of First Lady Suite are “Over Texas,” “Where’s Mamie?,” “Olio,” and “Eleanor Sleeps Here.” The time period covered is 1933 to 1963. “Over Texas” takes place on Air Force One, the day President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas during a motorcade. On the plane with Jackie Kennedy and her husband, President Kennedy, are Evelyn Lincoln and Mary Gallagher. Evelyn Lincoln was the personal secretary to John F. Kennedy from his election to the United States Senate in 1953 and then later worked with Mary Barelli Gallagher, Jacqueline Kennedy’s personal Secretary until 1964. Mary Gallagher was a secretary for John F Kennedy in 1953 and became Jacqueline Kennedy’s secretary in 1957 to 1964. She worked for the Kennedys for over eight years. “Where’s Mamie?” takes us on a tour of the days of Ike Eisenhower’s Presidency and his work as General Eisenhower in World War II. This vignette includes the character Marian Anderson, who was an African-American contralto and considered one of the best voices of the twentieth century. Mamie Eisenhower made friends with Marian Anderson after the DAR refused to let her sing a concert in Washington D.C. which Mamie Eisenhower later changed by providing a concert venue for Marian Anderson to sing in. Also in this sketch is (continued on p. 8) 7 Director’s Note Kay Summersby, the English transport driver and chauffeur to General Eisenhower, rumored to have had an affair with the General for many years. “Olio” is an act break, very short, (less than four minutes), and includes Bess Truman (played by Jared Schrimp) and Margaret Truman, Bess’s daughter. Bess Truman, played by a man, in many ways sums up how she felt about the White House and her years as First Lady. “Eleanor Sleeps Here” tells the true story of how Amelia Earhart talked Eleanor Roosevelt into leaving a Washington D.C. dinner and take a flight to Baltimore just for the heck of it.

  • 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.

    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER October 12, 2006, 8:00 p.m. on PBS Lincoln Center's American Songbook presents Audra McDonald & Friends "A supremely gifted lyric soprano and actress." Those are the words of Stephen Holden writing in The New York Times about "Build a Bridge," the latest CD recording by Audra McDonald. At New York's Lincoln Center one of the most admired offerings is the series called "The American Songbook." On Thursday, October 12 Audra McDonald and The American Songbook will come together on the stage of the Allen Room at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall for an evening called "Audra McDonald and Friends." Front and center will be songs by American singers/songwriters. The cameras and microphones of Live From Lincoln Center will be on hand to bring the event directly into your homes. This may be a good time to emphasize the word "live" in our title: I have occasionally been asked when the programs of Live From Lincoln Center are taped. Except for last May's program, which consisted of a kaleidoscopic survey of highlights from our thirty seasons of programs, Live From Lincoln Center is absolutely LIVE at the moment of transmission (though some stations along the PBS Network chose to schedule the programs on a tape-delayed basis). Audra McDonald, raised in Fresno, California was born into a musical family. As a youngster she appeared in many local and regional theatrical productions, perhaps most notably as Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha." Coming to New York she enrolled at Lincoln Center's Juilliard School, and even as an undergraduate she won her first major role on Broadway as a replacement Ayah in "Secret Garden." The year after her 1993 graduation from Juilliard she was cast as Carrie Pepperidge in Nicholas Hytner's production of "Carousel." Never before had an African-American woman played the role, and her performance won for her her first Tony Award.
