THE BOSTON CONSERVATORY THEATER ENSEMBLE PRESENTS the APPLE TREE April 20—22, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Joyce Linehan (617) 282-2510, [email protected] THE BOSTON CONSERVATORY THEATER ENSEMBLE PRESENTS THE APPLE TREE April 20—22, 2012 Press night is April 20. RSVP by replying to this email. (BOSTON) The Boston Conservatory Theater Ensemble presents The Apple Tree, April 20—22, 2012, at The Boston Conservatory Theater, 31 Hemenway St., in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 general admission, $15 for senior citizens and $10 for all students with valid ID. Box Office: (617) 912-9222 or http://bostonconservatory.ticketforce.com/ . From the songwriting team of Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me comes a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation. The first, The Diary of Adam and Eve , is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world's first couple, adapted from Mark Twain's Extracts from Adam's Diary . The second, The Lady or the Tiger?, explores the fickleness of love in a rock and roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom. Finally, Passionella is based on Jules Feiffer's offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a "glamorous movie star" nearly sabotage her one chance for true love. Book by Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Jerome Coopersmith. Music and Lyrics by Jerry bock and Sheldon Harnick. Based on stories by Mark Twain, Frank R. Stockton and Jules Feiffer. Directed by Paul Melone. Conducted by F. Wade Russo. Choreographed by Lillian Carter. Melone explains, “What holds these three different works together is style. These three stories are outlandish, and out of place with each other, but the music of Harnick and Bock pulls them together with a score that goes from the lyrical to the bombastic with ease and panache. The bubbling zaniness of the score whisks us from the creation of man to 60s Hollywood.” Paul Melone is a graduate of the Boston University's Theatre Department. Directing credits include: Adding Machine: A Musical (2010 Elliot Norton Award - Best Director) , The Little Dog Laughed ; Fat Pig , The Moonlight Room , Our Lady of 121st Street and The Shape of Things for SpeakEasy Stage; Curse of the Starving Class for Apollinaire Theatre Company; and Things Beyond Our Control at Brandeis University. At SpeakEasy, Melone has managed more than 60 sixty plays, musicals, concerts, cabarets and special events. He is also production director for A Christmas Celtic Sojourn , an annual holiday music event for WGBH radio, and serves on the board of StageSource, the Greater Boston Theatre Alliance.

Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2014
Jan 14 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 160th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where John Linsenmeyer proposed the preprandial first toast to Marilyn Nathan as The Woman.

Guide to the Presbyterian Players Collection
Guide to IU South Bend Presbyterian Players Collection Summary Information Repository: Indiana University South Bend Archives 1700 Mishawaka Avenue P.O. Box 7111 South Bend, Indiana 46634 Phone: (574) 520-4392 Email: [email protected] Creator: Indiana University South Bend Title: Presbyterian Players Collection Extent: .50 linear ft. Abstract: Often touted as “South Bend’s oldest community theatre,” the Presbyterian Players mounted hundreds of productions over five decades, including familiar plays and popular musicals, as well as the occasional lesser-known work. The group formed in 19451 under the auspices of the First Presbyterian Church of South Bend, Indiana. While some productions took place in venues like the Washington High School Auditorium, the Indiana University South Bend Auditorium, or the Bendix Theatre at the Century Center, the majority of the performances associated with the programs in this collection took place in the Church itself. The First Presbyterian Church has a long history as part of the wider Michiana community. A small group of early South Bend residents came together to form the church in 1834, and as the congregation grew, so too did the structures built to accommodate it. The grandest of these, built in 1889, still stand at the corner of Lafayette and West Washington Streets—though it is no longer the site of the First Presbyterian Church, which has been located on West Colfax Avenue since 1953.2 Sisters Mary Pappas (February 7, 1926–June 11, 2012) and Aphrodite Pappas (c. 1923– ), who donated the materials found in this inventory, directed, acted in, or otherwise helped stage numerous performances of the Presbyterian Players.

A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 7 Audio/Visual Materials Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Vol. 7, Audio/Visual Materials, Alphabetical Listing INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains an alphabetical listing of audio-visual materials. Coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. The first volume in this supplement focuses on monographic and serial titles, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. The second volume presents the exact same information arranged by subject. The third volume focuses on the periodical literature of Doyle and Holmes, listing individual articles alphabetically. The fourth volume includes "core" or "primary" citations from the periodical literature. The fifth volume includes "passing" or "secondary" references to Doyle or Holmes in the periodical literature. The sixth volume organizes the periodical literature according to De Waal's original categories. As the bibliography expands, additional annotations will be provided in order to give the researcher a better idea on the exact Holmesian or Doylean reference contained in each article. The compiler wishes to thank Peter E.
