    Read Around the Subject Art and Performing Arts Recommended Reading List The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo – Performing and Poetry A young girl in Harlem discovers slam poetry as a way to understand her mother's religion and her own relationship to the world. Debut novel of renowned slam poet Elizabeth Acevedo. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers, especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami's determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So, when she is invited to join her school' s slam poetry club, she doesn't know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out, much less speak her words out loud. But still, she can't stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent Slog's Dad by David Almond - Art Do you believe there's life after death? Slog does.

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, January 24, 2012 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Non-Stop Music in Caroline, or Change by Pulitzer Prize Winner Tony Kushner and Tony Nominee Jeanine Tesori (Syracuse, NY)— Two powerhouses of the American theatre, playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie and Shrek: The Musical), join forces on a musical of startling creativity and refreshing originality (don’t be surprised when the washing machine starts to sing). A stellar cast led by Greta Oglesby delivers powerful vocals in this unconventional, through-composed musical, the recipient of six Tony nominations followed by the Olivier Award for Best Musical. The year is 1963—civil rights and Kennedy—and in the Gellman household in Lake Charles, Louisiana, eight-year-old Noah struggles with the loss of his mother, while Caroline, the family’s African American maid, struggles as a single Mom of four children. Through Caroline and Noah’s friendship, Kushner and Tesori explore thoughts on economic hardship and racial inequity that are relevant today as they were in the early 60s. Rich with humor, humanity and of course music—ranging from blues to gospel to traditional Jewish melodies—Caroline, or Change delivers a deep and uplifting message about change, in big ways and small. Running February 1—26, Caroline, or Change will be performed in the Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee Street. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org.

  • The Understudy Draft 4
    The Understudy Cara Ehlenfeldt and Jason Cady Manhattan, 1970s ACT 1 RECITATIVE PAT DICKSON I have mixed emotions as I write this tale of Donna Pearlbottum’s final case. No, the esteemed private eye was not murdered. In our line of work, death is as common as the morning sun. But this story will shock you. We had just wrapped the celebrated case of the Bel Canto Mob family. Donna had a rental in Fire Island. Spring hadn’t reached New York, but she liked the off season. I asked if she planned to go alone, DONNA PEARLBOTTUM I’m taking Wittgenstein and Sophocles. PAT DICKSON Those were her kittens. I looked forward to a quiet week. I’d catch up on sleep and the scotch and sodas I had missed over the last month. At 5:00 I closed the Venetian blinds. But a man with bovine eyes and a Brooks Brothers suit rushed in. SFX: Door with hanging bells opens. PAT DICKSON I showed him the closed sign. RICH LEXINGTON Please! You got to help me.
