    OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show.

  • Debbie Reynolds-Carrie Fisher, Book Release News, March 2018
    NEW , S CANDALOUS , & H OT , FOR MOTHER ’S DAY HOLLYWOOD NEWS ABOUT A CELEBRITY EXPOSÉ THAT UNPACKS THE MOST FAMOUS MOTHER -D AUGHTER SHOWBIZ TEAM IN AMERICA . Blood Moon Productions proudly announces the availability, on Mother’s Day [May 13, 2018] in bookstores everywhere, of a hot new double biography unlike anything ever pub - lished before. It’s history’s first comprehensive, unauthorized overview of the greatest mother-daughter act in showbiz history, Debbie Reynolds (“hard as nails and with more balls than any five guys I’ve ever known”) and her talented, often traumatized daughter, Carrie Fisher ("one of the smartest, hippest chicks in Hollywood"). Evolving for decades under the unrelenting glare of public scrutiny, each became a world-class symbol of the social and cinematic tastes that prevailed during their heydays as celebrity icons in Hollywood. Now, for the first time, their thousands of fans can read about the combative but ferociously loyal relationship of the “boop-boop-a-doop” girl with her intergalactic STAR WARS daughter, Princess Leia, and their iron-willed strength during their “true grit” battles to out-race changing tastes in Hollywood. According to its co-author and publisher, Danforth Prince, “We’ve defined this as the ulti - mate conversation-starter for savvy matriarchs transmitting lifestyle advice to their daugh - ters or granddaughters. It’s a Mother’s Day celebration of the ties that bind (and sometimes torment) different generations of inter-related women, each navigating their way through the shifting currents of pop culture.” Loaded with never-before published revelations about “who was doing what to whom” during the final gasps of Golden Age Hol - lywood, it’s a one-of-a-kind, All-American saga about the price of glamour, career-related pain, family anguish, romantic betrayals, lingering guilt, and the volcanic shifts that affected a scrappy, wryly funny mother-daughter team—and everyone else who ever loved the movies.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 36, Number 19 Thursday, May 14, 2020 The Man Behind the Mural by William Halliar This undated photo shows Robert Wadsworth Grafton’s mural in the Elston High School study hall. reasures of Michigan City’s past are carefully, lovingly and thoughtfully preserved at the Old Lighthouse Museum. Among them are works by one of Michigan City’s famous Tresidents, Robert Wadsworth Grafton. Calling our city home for most of his life, Grafton built his art studio here and created some of his more noteworthy works here, sometimes using neighbors as subjects. At the time of his death in 1936, he was the only Michigan City person mentioned in Who’s Who In America, a biographical dictionary of notable men and women. Grafton is buried alongside his wife, Elinda, at Greenwood Cemetery. During his lifetime, he created many portraits and landscapes that refl ected his impression of the world. Perhaps none is so dear to so many here as the mural that hung for more than 50 years in the Elston High School study hall. The late, revered journalist Henry Lange wrote in a News-Dis- patch column dated March 31, 1979, “As a member of the Elston Senior High School class of 1957, I spent many hours in the study hall. Students couldn’t help but look up from their work to study the panorama of the city’s lakefront with fi shermen bringing in Continued on Page 2 An undated photo of Robert Grafton.
