Menino at the ribbon cutting ceremony 10TH ANNIVERSARY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY GUESTS INCLUDING FORMER BOSTON MAYOR THOMAS M. MENINO, IN ONE OF HIS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCES, JOINED HUNTINGTON THEATRE COMPANY CHAIRMAN CAROL G. DEANE, PRESIDENT MITCHELL J. ROBERTS, MANAGING DIRECTOR MICHAEL MASO, AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR PETER DUBOIS, AS WELL AS BOSTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS CHAIRMAN PHILIP W. LOVEJOY AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VERONIQUE LE MELLE ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 FOR A RIBBON-CUTTING, REDEDICATION, AND CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STANFORD CALDERWOOD PAVILION AT THE BOSTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS. Former Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Harry Collings, and Managing The Calderwood Pavilion is the Huntington’s home for new play development and provides Director Michael Maso a much-needed resource for the local theatre community by offering a world-class facility and services at rates subsidized by the Huntington to dozens of Boston’s small and mid-sized theatre companies. Following a public ribbon-cutting, guests assembled in the Virginia Wimberly Theatre for a rededication program featuring remarks from a number of the building’s benefactors, beneficiaries, and affiliated artists, and entertainment by The Skivvies and artists from SpeakEasy Stage Company. Playwright Lydia R. Diamond spoke about the Huntington’s commitment to developing and producing new work and to being both of and for its community, “The Huntington does it better than anybody else,” she said. “I can’t tell you how unusual it is for a theatre company to produce a local artist. Most don’t grow artists from the ground up. I’m appreciative to the Huntington for not just talking the talk. They put their money where their mouth is. The Huntington knows that theatre is made for everyone, and it’s better when everyone sees it.” Playwright Lydia R. Diamond “Boston has artists and an audience that other cities would die for. What we have here is a building that is an integral part of its neighborhood, its cultural community, and its city — a building that has served over one million people in its first decade alone,” said Huntington Managing Director Michael Maso. “We have succeeded because of the dedication and generosity and collaboration of everyone in this theatre tonight.” Named #3 on Boston.com’s “Biggest Arts Stories of the Decade” (December 2009), the opening of the Calderwood Pavilion marked the first new theatre to be built in Boston in more than 75 years, and helped to revitalize the city’s South End neighborhood and make it a “new cultural hub” for the arts. In its recent report, The ArtsFactor, ArtsBoston commended the Calderwood Pavilion for being a model of collaboration, acknowledging, “The Calderwood Pavilion has hosted thousands of performances and events by more than 90 different organizations. In addition to having a positive impact on the Boston arts scene, the Calderwood Company One Artistic has helped catalyze the development of the South End into one of Boston’s most desirable and Director Shawn LaCount dynamic neighborhoods.” 2 BOX OFFICE 617 266 0800 DON’T MISS THE REST OF OUR 2014-2015 SEASON!

  • Hdounderstandingbalancing Seminar
    Dr. E.M. Richmond-Garza Parlin 119, 512-232-5708 [email protected] Understanding and Balancing Motivations Focus: Ethics and Leadership 16 September 2016 Overview: Literature, especially performance, provides concrete and practical cases that help us to understand how ethical decisions are made and to see how ethics and leadership intersect. This professional seminar will use performance texts and approaches to question the nature of the ethical challenges we face in today’s diverse and dynamic workplace. We will focus on competing motivations, using methods and cases studies with practical applications. We will investigate examples, both artistic and actual, presented in a multimedia environment. These cases allow us to recognize and understand varied and competing identities and motivations. We will explore how to achieve balance so as to ensure successful management in the modern workplace. We will develop strategies for asking ourselves productive questions which lead to positive outcomes for conflicted situations in which competing ethical and personal agendas might otherwise lead to negative, or even tragic, consequences. The goal is to develop attentiveness to those patterns of motivational conflict, which might jeopardize the health and productivity of the organization and/or community in question, and to experiment with approaches for managing them. Hands-on experience with analyzing fictional conflicts will allows us to develop our own strategies for responding to real-life tensions and pressures in a self-aware and constructive manner. Exercises will involve applying Stanislavski’s system and developing ways of defining and negotiating competing motivations and ethics, while remaining aware of the subject position of each of us in the process.

  • Video Reviews 6-15-07.Qxp
    New On Video & DVD Reno 911: Miami Comedy Central’s cult-favorite COPS-spoof series, RENO 911! comes to the big screen with RENO 911!: MIAMI. The film follows members of the Reno P.D. as they desert the bright flashing lights of the biggest little city in the world for sand and surf and an invitation to the annual police officers’ convention. It will come as no surprise to regular RENO-watchers that the incompetent police force--led by the earnest, hot-pants-wearing Lt. Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon)--hit an administrative snag, and aren’t allowed into the convention. But the crew decides to make the most of their multi-hour bus trip to Florida, until an emergency call to duty cuts their impromptu vacation short: they are expected to keep the peace in Miami while the rest of the nation’s police forces are quarantined due to a biochemical warfare attack on the convention center. Finding themselves way out of their league in a high-tech police station and Mustang patrol cars, the Reno cops ineptly stumble through Miami, leaving destruction and hilarity in their wake. Fox The Secret Nimh Don Bluth's The Secret Of NIMH is an exquisitely drawn, colorfully animated fea- ture about Mrs. Brisby, a brave mother field mouse who struggles to save her family's home from a farmer's plow. She soon discovers she needs the help of the strange, intelligent rats who live beneath the nearby rosebush in an intricate city. But when the timid but determined Mrs. Brisby discovers the astounding wonders of NIMH, it could change her life forever.

Murray Abraham (Barnard), Kate Buddeke (Jane), Laura Esterman (Mrs. Garland), Nancy Giles (Marci), Lily Gladstone (Denise), Ed Harris (Dr. Michaels), Charlotte Hope (Mom), Mark Linn- Baker (Timothy), Amy Madigan (Evangeline), Rileigh McDonald (Frannie), Kenny Mellman (Jerome), Maulik Pancholy (Alex), Rhea Perlman (Nora) and Michael Rabe (Jimmy), will lite up the star in the New York premiere of David Rabe’s Good for Otto. Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.
