Popejoy presents:
I Love a Piano




Friday, May 2, 2008, 8:00pm
Saturday, May 3, 2008, 2:00 & 8:00pm
Sunday, May 4, 2008, 2:00 & 7:30pm


I LOVE A PIANO is an enchanting new musical journey spanning seven decades of American history as seen through the perceptive and hopeful eyes of Irving Berlin. Using 64 of Berlin’s enduring and popular favorites, I LOVE A PIANO captures the spirit of America from the Ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century through the swinging sophistication of the 1920s and ’30s. From the sentimental songs that inspired a nation during two World Wars to the innocent optimism of the 1950s. Timeless classics such as “White Christmas,” “God Bless America,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business” do more than define the music of a generation: they define the music of our country.

What else would you like to know?

Single tickets available later this season

Press Release:

 


Inspiration Galore in Children’s Writers And Illustrators Conference


 
Is writing and illustrating for children your dream? New Mexican children’s writers and illustrators can find inspiration, how-tos, and fabulous networking with top New York editors, agents, and one another. It’s all at the annual conference on May 2nd and 3rd.
 
Writers and Illustrators are invited, regardless of skill level, to the annual Handsprings: A Conference for Children’s Writers and Illustrators in Albuquerque, put on by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, New Mexico Chapter (SCBWI-NM). Handsprings is packed with informative workshops by New Mexican authors and illustrators, plus plenty of time to schmooze. Handsprings also features an editor, an art director, and a literary agent. Writers and artists can download a brochure at the local website at http://www.scbwi-nm.org or write to SCBWI-NM, PO Box 1084, Socorro, NM 87801.
 
Featured speakers are Tim Gillner, Art Director at Boyds Mills Press, Alisha Niehaus, Editor at Dial Books for Young Children, and Literary Agent Rebecca Sherman of Writers House. Conference attendees can sign up for manuscript critiques with one of these children’s publishing professionals. Illustrators may also schedule portfolio reviews. "This is a great chance to make a personal connection with an editor, agent or art director," says Chris Eboch, SCBWI-NM regional advisor and author of The Well of Sacrifice. Agent/Editor/Art Director consultation submissions are due by April 4th. It is important to get manuscripts and picture book dummies in as soon as possible as slots fill up fast.
 
New Mexico writers and illustrators will lead workshop sessions on topics ranging from picture books to teen novels and illustration. Kathleen Sparks, who is in book and production design at UNM Press, will discuss Publisher’s Responses to Illustrators’ Portfolios. Pamela Keyes, author of the teen novel The Rune of Zachary Zimbalist, will join a panel with her agent and editor (Niehaus and Sherman), whom she will be meeting for the first time. Four other award-winning authors will give workshops: Kersten Hamilton, author of 28 books for children, including Red Truck; Uma Krishnaswami, who has published picture books and novels, including Chachaji’s Cup; Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, a librarian and author of Almost Freedom and other books; and Neecy Twinem, author/illustrator of over 26 books, including Hungry Beasties for toddlers.
 
This year’s conference includes the traditional Friday night party. Gillner, Niehaus, and Sherman will critique first pages of manuscripts. Participants can send a 200-word maximum first page of a book along with their registration form. Partygoers will also have time to meet and network with other local writers and illustrators, and to view the Illustrator’s Display. Librarians, teachers and the general public are welcome to attend this event and meet local authors and illustrators. The Friday evening party costs from $15 - $20.
 
The Handsprings Conference will be held at the UNM Continuing Education Conference Center. Early bird registration deadline is April 18th. Prices range from $90 - $150 for Saturday, depending on membership status and registration date. Bookworks will provide a book sale on Saturday. Conference goers can also bring new books to donate to John’s Shelf at the UNM Children’s Hospital, for children fighting cancer.
 
The sponsoring organization, the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) is an international organization with more than 18,000 members. New Mexico is home to 200 of those members. Last year’s participants at Handsprings said, "Excellent conference! Lots of information, presented well. The weekend was worth the time and money."

Popejoy Hall





............




Press Release
.....






IRVING BERLIN'S I LOVE A PIANO
Natilonal Tour Comes to Popejoy Hall May 2-4, 2008
Albuquerque, NM - March 24, 2008 Popejoy Presents and Broadway in New Mexico present the National Tour of Irving Berlin's I LOVE A PIANO, an enchanted, toe-tapping musical journey through Berlin's outstanding musical career, May 2-4, 2008 at Popejoy Hall. Audiences of all ages are sure to recognize songs they love as six talented performers sing and dance their way through Berlin's America. Tickets are $47.50 - $30.00.

Directed and choreographed by Ray Roderick and co-written with Michael Berkeley, Irving Berlin's I LOVE A PIANO celebrates the seven-decade career of Irving Berlin through the life of the one possession that knew him best: his ancient honky-tonk piano with one missing key. Through his piano and 60 hand-picked Berlin classics, audiences are treated to a unique view of American history, from the smoky, jazz-fueled speakeasy of the Roaring Twenties to the American patriotism of World War II and beyond. Featuring such classics as "God Bless America," "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Easter Parade," "Suppertime," "White Christmas," and "There's No Business Like Show Business."

Ray Roderick credits include associate director of A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden (directed by Mike Ockrant), as well as the recent revival of The Music Man. (directed by Susan Stroman) Other directorial credits include The Prince and the Pauper, I Love New York and regional productions of A Christmas Survival Guide, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, and Coming to America. With collaborator James Hindman, Roderick has formed Miracle or 2 Productions Inc., which is involved with producing new musicals.
Alex LeFevre will return to his musical roots as musical director and conductor of this production. Born and raised in Newton, Alex attended the New England Conservatory. National tour: HAIRSPRAY (Associate Conductor/MD.) New York City: THRILL ME (51st Annual Drama Desk Awards, PBS,) ETHAN FROME (York Theatre Company,) ORDINARY DAYS (Manhattan Theatre Club Studios.) Regional: COCKTAILS WITH COWARD (Northern Stage,) ASSASSINS (Arkansas Shakespeare Festival,) A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, NUNSENSE...A-MEN! (Bucks County Playhouse) and three summer seasons at the New London Barn Playhouse. Artistic training: Eastman School of Music, NYU: Tisch School of the Arts.
The cast includes Mark Baratelli (George), Darcie Bender (Eileen), Summer Broyhill (Ginger), Karla Shook (Sadie), Johnnie Moore (Alex), and Sean Schwebke (Jim). The creative design team includes Larry Gruber (Scenic), Ed McCarthy (Lights), and Sam Fleming (costumes).

Sean Schwebke (Jim) A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, is a proud native of Santa Fe, New Mexico and thrilled to be making his national tour debut in I LOVE A PIANO.

Irving Berlin (music and lyrics) was born Israel Baline and immigrated to New York City in 1893 from Russia. Berlin started his career in a Chinatown café as a singing waiter, and in the decades that followed his humble beginnings penned over 1,000 songs which defined American popular music. Known for such patriotic ballads as "God Bless America," Berlin was a legendary and ardent supporter of his country, and in addition to his musical contributions to the war effort, was a generous supporter to the Army Emergency Relief, The God Bless America Fund (which he founded himself) and to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America. During his career, Irving Berlin wrote the scores to seventeen stage musicals (including the wildly popular and recently revived "Annie Get Your Gun") and contributed music to six more. Berlin died peacefully in his sleep in 1989 at 101 years old, after being celebrated just one year earlier by a star-studded musical tribute at Carnegie Hall.

Tickets for Irving Berlin's I LOVE A PIANO are $47.50-$30. Patrons may purchase tickets by calling (877) 664-8661 or 925-5858. Tickets are sold at UNM Ticket Offices at the UNM Bookstore, Central and Cornell and the UNM Arena (The Pit), University and Avenida César Chávez. Bookstore location hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 6pm and Saturday from noon until 4pm. The Pit location hours are 8:30 to 5pm Monday through Friday.

Outpost Performance Space Spring Season Continues
 
 
WHAT: Doug Lawrence-Bobby Shew Quintet
             Opening: Outpost Advanced Youth Jazz Ensemble
WHEN: Thursday, May 1, 7:30pm
WHERE: Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale SE
PRESENTED BY: Outpost Performance Space
TICKET INFORMATION: $25/$20 Members & Students. Available in advance, by phone or in person, at the Outpost Performance Space (268-0044).
 
Tonight marks the very first time that two of Albuquerque’s true jazz luminaries will appear together on stage. Both world-renowned jazz artists from Albuquerque, they each recently moved back after some 30 years away. As Doug Lawrence put it, “Bobby did his thing on the west coast when he split ABQ way back in the early 60s, and I did mine on the east coast when I split here in the late 70’s… now it’s come full circle… a sort of ‘Homecoming’. We’ve known about each other for quite some time and we’ve had a lot of mutual friends over the years. Needless to say, we are looking forward to this gig.” Trumpeter Bobby Shew is one of the most in-demand clinicians and concert soloists. Well known for his fiery bebop trumpet, he has performed and recorded with the elite of the jazz world for over three decades. A member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, he also played with the Woody Herman band and the big bands of Della Reese and Buddy Rich.

Inpost Artspace highlights the works of four women artists living and working in New Mexico for the May exhibition: Molly Geissman, Holly Roberts, Debi Dodge and Emily Trovillion. Although diverse, each artist shares a desire to explore the physical and/or metaphysical in what is not always obvious to the casual observer. Molly Geissman’s work is primarily non-objective, brightly colored abstracts, conveying a sense of spontaneous action while contemplating a greater sense of being; Holly Roberts’ mixed media paintings catalogue montages of everyday life immersed in a kinetic body of abstract expression; Debi Dodge will be exhibiting monotype prints along with encaustic works inspired by her travels and observations of the natural world, and Emily Trovillion’s surrealistic compositions provide a landscape where she explores esoteric character mythologies and ruminations of the natural world. Exhibit Dates: April 28-May 21
