Salvante Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs PUTTING ESSEX COUNTY FIRST COMPLIMENTARY ISSUE Dear Friend, After surviving sub-zero temperatures this past winter, we surely are all ready to welcome the sunny, balmy days of spring. In Essex County, we have no shortage of activities that will get you and your family outside, shaking off the winter cobwebs and enjoying the sun’s warmth on your back. In this issue, we are highlighting our fishing derby program. Held at seven locations throughout our historic Parks System, the event lets children become outdoorsmen while putting the spotlight on our beautiful ponds and waterfronts. This is an activity that the whole family can enjoy and create memories that will last a lifetime. To experience the beauty of nature, we invite you to visit Essex County Branch Brook Park for the colorful blooming of the Cherry Blossom Trees. For two weeks in April, the vibrant white and pink petals overtake the park and create a spectacular scene. There’s also a variety of events scheduled to celebrate the season, including professional bicycle races, a 10K run, children’s fun run, Family Fun Day and Bloomfest. There’s also the blooming flowers in the Essex County Presby Memorial Iris Gardens and the Essex County Brookdale Park Rose Garden. For the more adventurous, visit our Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex.

  • Subverting Scottish Male Identities in Gary: Tank Commander1 Mary Irwin, I
    ‘Ah hink it's time for suttin blue n a BAILEYS!’ Subverting Scottish Male Identities in Gary: Tank Commander1 Mary Irwin, Independent Scholar and Gabrielle Smith, Northumbria University Introduction: Who is Gary? Actor and writer Greg McHugh’s popular Scottish comedy character Corporal Gary McLintoch, commander in the 104th Royal Tank Regiment, originated in McHugh’s stand-up performance of the character at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe festival. In 2008, E4 commissioned a one-off pilot Gary’s War, starring the character, which subsequently won a Scottish BAFTA. In 2009, the BBC in Scotland produced the situation comedy Gary: Tank Commander based on McHugh’s character which chronicled the daily working lives and experiences (home and abroad) of Gary and the rest of the regiment. The live stage show Gary: Tank Commander - Mission Quite Possible (2016) was performed in Glasgow’s SSE Hydro concert venue. Indeed, Gary as a character has achieved significant cultural resonance for Scots. He was chosen to interrogate the leaders of the Scottish political parties on behalf of the nation ahead of the 2015 Holyrood election in a comedy special Gary: Tank Commander - Election Special (BBC 2016). As well as being a professional soldier who has successfully served tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq, Gary loves to dance to Scandinavian bubblegum pop one-hit wonder ‘Barbie Girl’; he has 1980s pop duo sisters Mel and Kim’s smash hit ‘Respectable’ as his ringtone and is always partial to some cheesy pasta or a wee Baileys. McHugh’s playful, self- confident and exuberant creation works consistently to contradict, challenge and subvert established representations of Scottish men and masculinity that have previously and currently been offered in Scottish TV comedy.

KNOLL THEATER HARTFORD WISCONSIN 2 SCHAUER PERFORMING ARTS SEASON 17|18 FROM THE Executive Director IRST let me say that this last season flew by incredibly fast. It seems we spend so much F time negotiating, booking and waiting for the performance to come—and then, like that, it’s gone. Amazing! Thank you to everyone who supported our past season. I received countless positive comments regarding the kinds of performances we brought to the Schauer Center and we had several sold-out shows. All of this tells us we are on the right track in finding a balanced mix of the kind of performances people in our area want to see. However, we didn’t want to stop there. We wanted this season to be even better; our biggest challenge yet. With that goal in mind, we pulled out all the stops. This season is filled with platinum recording stars, TV performers, and national and international performing artists—all right here at the Schauer Arts Center. “I hope you’ll agree that red 2017 -18hot is going year! to be a —Joe Konrad P.S.

  • Annual Review 2007-2008
    Review 08 Family events at our Celebration Weekend, which marked a milestone in the Royal Museum Project Benin ivory from our World Cultures collection was loaned to museums in Berlin, Paris, Vienna and Chicago We have enjoyed an amazing year. We welcomed around 1.5 million people to our five national museums and attracted more than three million visits to our website. The National Museum of Scotland had its most successful year ever and there was a record crowd at the National Museum of Flight Airshow. Almost 186,000 people took part in learning activities at our museums and we reached many thousands more with our touring exhibitions and outreach projects across Scotland. We inspired our visitors with exhibitions that included the most extensive collection of historic Scottish silver ever brought together. We promoted Scotland overseas, including touring objects from the St Ninian’s Isle Treasure to Venice and some of our Benin collection to Vienna, Paris, Berlin and Chicago. Wide support for our Royal Museum Project means that we are now three-quarters of the way to reaching the remaining target of £12 million. We received our biggest ever legacy and we created new high-profile corporate partnerships. Our plans for the future are ambitious. We are creating innovative ways to inspire a growing audience at home and across the world about our collections and the stories behind them. Review 08 1 Ambitious future This handloom features in Scotland Transformed, one of the many galleries in the National Museum of Scotland which remain open during the Royal Museum Project We are beginning to realise the ambitious plans that we have been developing in recent years.

Over that century plus, our theater and our community have seen World Wars, pandemics, financial and natural disasters and much more, and come out stronger each and every time. Even in the most challenging of days, that old show-biz adage has always stayed true: “The Show WILL Go On!”. To that end, we are honored and humbled to share with you our 20/21 season here at The Grand. If the last few months have taught us anything, it is that we have some of the most dedicated and supportive patrons in the performing arts. Even as we’ve had to postpone and reschedule shows, you have been incredibly supportive in sticking with us. We hope that you’ll do the same in the 20/21 campaign— our intention is to deliver every show as listed in this publication, but we know that we will have to be adaptive in the days and months to come. We are going to offer that same flexibility to you— with unprecedented options for exchanges and refunds of tickets. We want you to feel 100% comfortable coming to The Grand and enjoying performances with your fellow patrons. As to the shows themselves, It is a season we’re very proud to share. There are blockbuster shows such as Blue Man Group and Riverdance, Broadway hits Anastasia and Waitress, a whole host of music legends, the return of some Wausau favorites, and shows making their Grand Theater debuts that we think will become your favorites.
