ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 2015-2016: by All of You, for All of You ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 2015-2016: By All of You, For All of You Dear Friends, Annual reports provide an opportunity for organizations like ours to reflect on our accomplishments over the past year, and to reaffirm our commitment to serving our community. The preparation of this report also reminds all of us of the faith, confidence and trust that you – our funders, donors, patrons, and good friends – place in us year after year. Our decades long partnership with our community has been made possible by the support of all of you, and the collaboration of all the institutions on our campus. The mission of the Flint Cultural Center Corporation ‘to foster cultural activity and community vitality through history, science, and the arts’ is a vision we remain fully committed to through our management and administration of the Cultural Center campus. Our member organizations, Sloan Museum, Longway Planetarium, and The Whiting Auditorium continue to provide engaging, educational and entertaining programmatic content for our entire region. Please join us for a celebration of the arts, science and history. Our campus and its institutions are hallmarks of the vibrancy that arts and culture bring to individuals and communities. From Longway Planetarium’s recent state- of-the-art renovation, to the Whiting’s efforts to restore and reopen Flint’s historic Capitol Theatre, our venues are thriving and growing. Sloan Museum has begun a design phase for an expansion and renovation that will lead to greatly enhanced exhibit and education classroom spaces. We are proud of the programs and services we offer and recognize our responsibility to be faithful stewards of the philanthropic support we receive. Our programs are made possible by all of you, for all of you and our greater community; we pledge to continue to operate in ways that deserve your trust and confidence so together we continue to move Flint forward.

Trela Ridgway White The Whiting 2015-2016 in Review During the 2015-2016 season, more than 95,000 guests of all ages were entertained at The Whiting. Performances included Black Violin, Ragtime, The Musical, the Robert Cray Band, The Illusionists, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, BlueMan Group, Annie, Romeo and Juliet, Its’ a Wonderful Life, Dracula, The Peking Acrobats, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical, and Hot Sardines. The following artists provided educational and outreach activities: Mistatim, Young Audiences New York (two week-long residencies featuring The Kite Runner, The Glass Castle, and The Giver) and Spencer’s Theatre of Illusion: Hocus Focus Program. Throughout the 2015-2016 season, The Whiting served over 14,000 students and adults through its education and outreach programs! As Mid-Michigan’s premier non-profit performing arts venue for more than 45 years, The Whiting takes the mystery, excitement, and intrigue of its stage and infuses it into the lives of the people within our community. With continued support The Whiting will grow, create, inspire, and enrich our community while advancing education for many generations to come. Sloan*Longway 2015-2016 in Review The summer kicked off with the grand re-opening of Longway Planetarium in May 2015. The Weekend of Wonder was a free community event with bounce houses, science activities, and of course, shows in the radically renovated planetarium theater. A new light show was also created by planetarium staff, Cosmic Christmas. Along with the renovation, we launched First Fridays, where a lecture or fun science activity is done the first Friday evening of each month. Sloan Museum hosted the exhibits The Scoop on Poop, Top Secret: License to Spy, and Water’s Extreme Journey. In September 2016, Sloan Museum was named 2015-2016 Museum of the Year by the Michigan Museum Association and received the Peninsula Prize award. This achievement was given as acknowledgement for the work done on the exhibit Water’s Extreme Journey. This traveling exhibit was used as a jumping off point to examine the Flint water crisis. With it, dynamic community programming was developed. Through the exhibit and programs visitors could delve into Flint’s water system history, examine current issues and solutions, and investigate the Flint River today. Education programs continued to increase, with significant growth in outreach programs which now have a statewide reach. Membership also grew, with an increase in member attendance of 5.5% for the year. Overall for the year, Sloan*Longway saw an increase in attendance over the previous year of 22% for a total of 145,000 visitors. Financials The Flint Cultural Center Corporation is expenditures. Major factors in generating this committed to maintaining financial stability surplus were effective cost controls and higher- and solvency within our organization. The than-expected development income from reason for our commitment is two-fold. First, planned gifts. We achieved these favorable and most obviously, the FCCC needs to remain financial results while maintaining the high level fiscally solvent in order to continue to provide of programmatic excellence that our patrons the quality programs and services that people have come to expect from Sloan*Longway and have come to expect from Sloan*Longway and The Whiting. The Whiting. Second, and equally important, we believe that a strong arts and cultural community can certainly bolster the local economy making the FCCC a stimulus for a stronger and more vibrant community.

  • Actor-Director Vincent Sherman, Who Played Harry Becker
    "Wyler knew how to get to the truth of each actor's capacity," actor-director Vincent Sherman, who played Harry Becker in William Wyler's "Counsellor at Law," told the Goldwyn Theater audience after a screening of the ftlm in July. "Counsellor at Law," Wyler's 1933 examination of the business and personal issues confronting a high-powered New York attorney, was screened as part of the Academy's centennial salute to the Oscar­ winning director. "Wyler wasn't always articulate about the details of the scene, TERENCE STAMP but he knew when it was right," Sherman said. "He knew how to squeeze every ounce of emotion that was in a scene and to get the best out of everybody." Sherman was joined on the panel by actor Terence Stamp, who starred in "The Collector," for WYLER'S BEN-HUR, CHARLTON HESTON , IS which Wyler earned the last of his directing nominations; actress Carroll Baker, who was directed INTRODUCED FROM THE AUDIENCE. by Wyler in "The Big Country;" and writer Fay Kanin, who with husband Michael was a colleague of Wyler. The panel was moderated by film critic Peter Rainer. Wyler earned a record twelve Academy Award nominations for directing, and during his career won Oscar statuettes for "Mrs. Miniver," "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "Ben-Hur." He earned nominations in the Best Picture category for "Roman Holiday" and "Friendly Persuasion," which also were among his directing nominations. He received the Irving G.ThaibergAward in 1965. When offered "The Big Country," Carroll Baker said, she was "a little bit self-conscious" because after "Baby Doll" she was being offered only "little sexpots." She mentioned her concern to Wyler.
