Stockton Performing Arts Center Celebrates Black History Month with L.A. Theatre Works’ ‘In the Heat of the Night’ For Immediate Release Tuesday, January 06, 2015 Contact: Suzé DiPietro Stockton PAC Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4927 Galloway Township, NJ - The Stockton Performing Arts Center and L.A. Theatre Works celebrate Black History Month by presenting “In the Heat of the Night” on Friday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $32 and may be ordered online at Stockton.edu/pac or by calling the Box Office at (609) 652-9000. The Box Office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 90 minutes before the performance. For group sales, call (609) 652-4786. John Ball’s 1965 novel, In the Heat of the Night, takes place in Alabama as the whole country grappled with integration and an evolving acceptance of the Civil Rights movement. This was the era of sit-ins and tear gas, of marches and assassinations. This was the era of Martin Luther King Jr., the Kennedys, and LBJ and an America finally, deliberately, moving toward a future of equality regardless of skin color. Nearly 50 years later, have we arrived? Perhaps not. Just as Ball’s white, southern police Chief Bill Gillespie’s personal prejudices are tested by working with African-American detective Virgil Tibbs, America continues to confront prejudice, stereotyping and fear. Playwright and screenwriter Matt Pelfrey sets his riveting stage adaptation of this classic American thriller in the environment of gradual change, rebellion, anger, frustration, and stubborn clinging to old ways of life.

NEWS RELEASE for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Lucy Pollak [email protected] (818) 887-1499 (For Media Only)
NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Lucy Pollak [email protected] (818) 887-1499 (for media only) On the radio and streaming free this weekend in support of Black Lives Matter: L.A. Theatre Works’ ‘In the Heat of the Night’ LOS ANGELES (June 10, 2020) — Beginning this Saturday, June 13, the L.A. Theatre Works audio theater recording of John Ball’s In the Heat of the Night, adapted for the stage by Matt Pelfrey, will air on radio stations across the country and be available to stream free on the L.A. Theatre Works website at latw.org/broadcasts. Ball’s novel was published in 1965, a time when America was grappling with integration and an evolving acceptance of the Civil Rights movement. The sizzling, Edgar Award-winning noir thriller inspired both an Academy Award-winning film starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger and a long- running (1988-1994) television series starring Howard Rollins and Carroll O’Connor. In 1962, a white man has been murdered on a hot August night in a small town in the deep South, and the local police arrest a black stranger named Virgil Tibbs. The police soon discover that their prime suspect is in fact an expert homicide detective from Pasadena. The staunchly racist members of this rural Southern community must come to terms with the fact that Tibbs may be their only hope to help solve the brutal murder that, until now, has turned up no witnesses, no motives and no clues. The L.A. Theatre Works production, which stars Ryan Vincent Anderson, Michael Hammond, Kalen Harriman, James Morrison, Travis Johns, Darren Richardson and Tom Virtue and was directed by Brian Kite, was recorded during a series of live performances at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater before the cast headed out on a national tour.

Theatre Works Producing Director Susan Albert Loewenberg Prepared by Elizabeth Bennett These materials are the property of L.A. Theatre Works and may not be reproduced without permission. 06/14 And Justice for All: America and the Civil Rights Movement Educational Program L.A. Theatre Works offers an Education program that juxtaposes historical events and source material from the Civil Rights era with select scenes from Matt Pelfrey’s stage adaptation of John Ball’s groundbreaking 1965 novel In the Heat of the Night. The program brings to life the slow evolution in race relations that occurred during the volatile decade of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Kennedys, and of prejudice, segregation and integration. The presentation will begin with an introduction to the Civil Rights Movement during the mid-1960s and how it set the theme and tone of the play. Speeches by Civil Rights’ leaders and political advocates as well as pro-segregation arguments will be punctuated by riveting scenes from the story- which pointedly mirror the real-life racism experienced by African- Americans of the time and their determination to stand up for their dignity and rights. America’s larger social awakening to the civil rights struggle is traced throughout the presentation. This program and the play include language of the period. Requirements: Number of Participants: 50 minimum/no maximum Age level of Participants: Middle School, High School, and/or College Students Length of program: 60 minutes including post Q&A Location: L.A.

I Love a Mystery
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1980 Volume I: Adolescence and Narrative: Strategies for Teaching Fiction I Love a Mystery Curriculum Unit 80.01.09 by Phyllis Taylor Do you like puzzles? Have you ever solved the crime before the detective? Do you shiver with delight at the name of Alfred Hitchcock? If you’ve ever been late because you had to know “Who done it?” Then this unit on mysteries is for you. Ian Flemming’s From Russia with Love was the first mystery I’d ever read. I was in college, barely adult, and completely captivated by James Bond-007-super spy. I read everything in paperback and waited avidly for the next story to appear. I talked about each story incessantly. When, finally, there were no more James Bond stories, I was extremely disappointed. One day a friend said, “Have you read Josephine Tey’s work?” I was off and running again, and I haven’t stopped yet. However as a reader of mysteries I have changed. I now search for new authors and look for more than a swashbuckling hero. I enjoy tackling the puzzle, noting changes in a series’ character and in the author’s viewpoint across time. I examine plots, have become interested in characters and their motives, and have branched into other kinds of fictional and non-fictional reading for enjoyment. Don’t misunderstand. I did not grow from a non-reader into an English teacher. I did grow from a required- reading-only person into someone who enjoys reading as recreation.

In the Heat of the Night by Michael Schlesinger
In the Heat of the Night By Michael Schlesinger The problem with making topical films is obvi- ous: the risk of becoming dated. Clothes, hair styles and cars are already going to change, and little ages a movie more than slang, be it “hep cat with a bum gam” or “fo’shizzle in the hizzle.” But ultimately, it’s all in how the subject is handled. Consider two Sidney Poitier vehicles released in 1967. Stanley Kramer’s blockbuster “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?” was a ground- breaking dramedy which gently told white America that, yeah, it’s okay for your daughter to marry a Negro…as long as he’s a Nobel Prize-winning doctor and they’re on a plane for Africa at midnight. But it had the desired effect —so much so that nearly half-a-century later, when even gay marriage is now legal, it Mr. Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) examines evidence as Chief of Police seems curiously quaint, and survives mainly as Gillespie (Rod Steiger) observes from a distance.
