I CAN SWING FOREVER Emmy®-Winning Writer Tracy Newman Releases Her First Children’S CD FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Leanne Summers [email protected] 818.429.3141 Share the joys of not growing up too fast! I CAN SWING FOREVER Emmy®-winning writer Tracy Newman releases her first children’s CD. “Outta your shoes, into your dreams. See what it’s like to be free.” – from “Jumpa, Jumpa, Jumpa” (Los Angeles, CA – January 2015) The debut children’s CD I Can Swing Forever by Tracy Newman is an ode to motherhood. From gently active playtime to sleep-inducing bedtime songs, this mix of original and traditional songs is timeless, evoking the pure joys of childhood. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who didn’t want to go to bed. Her name was Charlotte. Her mom, Tracy, decided to sing songs with her… first some fast ones to dance to and then slower ones to make her sleepy. They did this every night. Fast forward many years to I Can Swing Forever - a compilation of those very songs – illustrated by the now grown-up artist, Charlotte Dean. The title track “I Can Swing Forever” captures the freedom of flying through the air, up and back, over and over. Kids can sing in French as they dance with a monk in the traditional song “Ah Si Mon Moine,” get up and “Jumpa, Jumpa, Jumpa,” and learn where not to put their chewing gum in “Under the Chair.” When it’s time for bed, feel the horse slowly loping along in the cowboy lullaby “Desert Silvery Blue,” and then tuck them in with love in “Things Are What They Seem (Time to Sleep).” I Can Swing Forever has received four national awards, including Parents’ Choice Foundation Gold and NAPPA Gold. This is just the start of what is to come in celebrating the unhurried childhood! Tracy Newman has had a prolific writing and producing career. She is a founding member of the LA-based improv group, The Groundlings, which has become the farm company for SNL. She began writing TV comedy in 1990 with writing partner, Jonathan Stark. Shows included Cheers, Bob, The Nanny, Ellen and The Drew Carey Show. In 1997, they won an Emmy and Peabody Award for writing the groundbreaking “coming out” episode of Ellen. In 2001, they created the hit ABC comedy, According to Jim. Tracy is back to music now, full time. Tracy has been playing guitar and collecting folk songs all of her life. As a teen she led summer camp sing- alongs; in her 20’s she performed in a PBS children’s educational music series called “What’s New”; in her 30’s she taught nursery school and ran the singing programs. She now performs regularly at schools where the kids learn the songs from her CDs and sing along in joyous refrain! Listen to I Can Swing Forever on Soundcloud. Available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.

    December 1, 201 O Ellen DeGeneres World Wide Helper Soon to be: Smile Train Recipient Dear Ms. DeGeneres, "The Key to realizing a dream is to focus not only on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning." - Oprah Winfrey. I understand this quote because I feel like I can relate to in so many ways. My name is Grace Peters and I'm a fourteen year old girl, who is currently in 8th grade. As I continue to grow and mature, I'm starting to see and understand life's gifts and how to turn a dream into reality! A dream that I have had for many years is to help children everywhere with cleft lips and/or palates. Having both a cleft lip and palate, I feel like I can relate to others around me with this birth defect. The Smile Train is run only by donations from people all around the world to help families that can't afford the surgery for their cleft lip and/or palate child. Their mission is to provide free cleft surgeries for millions of poor children in developing countries. My family and I have donated by a house yard sale, and I have also done fundraising at my elementary school, however, they were not as successful as I hoped. I'm hoping you can help. After my family and I send an amount of money towards the Smile Train, they send a letterb ack saying who you've helped, and a bit of the patient's background life before, and after the surgery.

  • Introduction: Placing the Self Within the Frame 1 New Storytelling
    Notes Introduction: Placing the Self within the Frame 1. This is performed by the Mamas and the Papas (see Chapter 6). 2. For various opinions on the potential of textual analysis see Childs (2006), Kovala (2008) and McKee (2003). 3. Although Gwen Haworth’s documentary is relevant to lesbian discourse, as Haworth, a male to female transsexual, expresses lesbian desire, I have not included this work in my book, as the focus is largely transsexual. Despite this, Haworth’s documentary is highly contiguous to the theoretical ideas expressed within this book, concerning self-reflexive narrative expression and sexual diversity. 4. Also there are still laws which oppress non-heterosexuals within the Western world. 5. It is important to note that this often includes production funding from Anglocentric sources, which bears its own implications of textual influence. 1 New Storytelling: Transitions from the Past 1. Howard Auster had changed his name to Howard Austen early in his career, on advice from Gore Vidal to avoid advertising his Jewish identity at a time when it was hard to obtain work as a Jew (Vidal, 1995). In Gore Vidal’s mem- oir, Howard’s name is restored to the original spelling; hence I have adopted it here. 2. I use the term ‘literature’ in the general sense as ‘serious writing’, esteemed by authority such as academia. 3. I am only discussing the media of radio in this chapter, as a precursor to later developments in television, film and new media through the World Wide Web. 4.

  • Changing Perception of LGBT People Through Performances – Theater and Television in America and in Japan
    Changing Perception of LGBT People Through Performances – Theater and Television in America and in Japan Atsushi Fujita+ (Japan) Abstract This paper examines how LGBT representations in popular media have changed people’s perception and is eventually changing society. American TV programs and theater have played significant roles in terms of advancement of LGBT issues. I look at three TV shows that made LGBT people visible in American society, and three revival theatrical productions on Broadway that urge us to look back at the history and keep fighting for equality. Compared to the U.S., Japan has a long way to go in terms of LGBT issues. However, social and political changes are happening especially in recent years. I analyze three recent TV shows shedding positive light on LGBT characters and argue that the change in Japan has been happening in a similar way which demonstrates how important these cultural representations are for the change. Keywords: LGBT, LGBT Characters on American TV, LGBT Characters in American Theater, LGBT Characters on Japanese TV + Atsushi Fujita, Associate Professor, Aichi Gakuin University, Japan. email: [email protected]. Changing Perception of LGBT People… | 55 Introduction America’s dynamism in politics and social change is like a pendulum especially as it relates to the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) advancement in U.S. history. Just to look at it briefly, at least superficially, the lives of gay people improved as a result of gay liberation in the late 1960s and 1970s. During the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and the 1990s, there was a lot of discrimination and prejudice against people literally struggling for life.

Ellen DeGeneres' Tulane Commencement Speech: Is She Getting Through to Anybody? Abstract In this paper, I analyze the commencement speech given by Ellen DeGeneres at Tulane University in 2009. I argue that through identifying with her audience and employing a rhetorical style consisting of a careful balance between humor and tragedy as an additional factor to her use of the commencement genre style presented in Margaret LaWare’s essay, "Redefining The Good' Life': Life Lessons And Virtues In Commencement Speeches By Women,” DeGeneres is able to establish enough ethos to be seen as a highly credible source on the subject of life, and is able to resonate with her audience and make a point they perceive to be widely reasonable and sound.

Born on January 26, 1958 into a middle-class family in Metairie, Louisiana, DeGeneres grew up riding her bicycle through the streets of New Orleans, a city that prides itself on a diverse and quirky population. Although the family moved to Texas for several years, DeGeneres, after dropping out of college in the mid-1970s, returned to New Orleans to follow her own unconventional path. She worked a series of jobs, from oyster shucker to housepainter, before stumbling into comedy. Her first stand-up act was performed at an informal show at a friend's party. DeGeneres came on stage with a burger and fries and proceeded to eat as she talked, forcing the audience to wait as she chewed between lines. In this first show, she not only entertained her friends, but she began to create the bumbling everywoman character who would later convulse audiences across the country. DeGeneres began to perform stand-up in coffeehouses and comedy clubs in New Orleans, then around the country as she developed her act.
