love me for me
flawless finish powder compact
inspired by the girl who wants an everything powder to take everywhere.
it's great to have a powder that can multi-task as much as you do! the everything powder: super versatile to wear alone, over makeup or use as a touch-up.Details/Ingredients
ways to wear
first, use the powder compact as a foundation. apply alone or after your moisturizer and primer. this formula provides natural coverage with a flawless finish
you can also use this powder compact to set your liquid foundation for an all day fresh look. it's best to use an all over face brush to wisp it on and set. now you're good to go!
use the powder compact on the go for instant touchups. oily nose? oh no! just swipe a hint of powder to refresh your makeup.

alabaster 03
the shade match was pretty amazing (although i probably should've gone for porcelain 02) and the powder is smooth, with buildable coverage, and mattifies the face without making it look flat. the foundation is what really blew me away, though, and i wish i could buy it on its own. it's lightweight enough that it doesn't feel like i have makeup caked on my face, but it covers all my flaws, and i almost never have to use concealer when i use this foundation, which i love. it applies well with a brush, a sponge, or with your fingers. i was completely blown away. i really hope they make it available to buy on its own, soon. i'll definitely be purchasing a new powder compact and foundation as soon as mine run out.

It isn't chalky at all. It is the perfect texture for my skin. I does a great job doing a light cover up for my nose and blemishes healing that don't need a lot of coverage, just that little but of cover up

I couldn't believe it I got the powder and the liquid foundation and my face is so flawless I'm in love!! This will be my go to every time!! It's amazing I start clean face grab " Great cover-up concealer" in light warm, use the liquid foundation in my neutral 14 with a blending sponge which is amazing!!! Then finish with my love me neutral 14 powder. Love love!!!! Amazing make up!!!

Since I love Michelle Phan how could I not try her cosmetics? I bought this and her foundation along with her Pillow Plush lip balm. I bought the shade in Sand 12, I was afraid it would be to light for me but the color match couldn't be more perfect. The coverage is light medium/ medium which I love. The packaging is cute and I love that the powder compact has a huge mirror and that the foundation has a pump. My face was so flawless looking after applied! Good job Michelle!!!!

I purchased this and got the free Love Me For Me foundation in the same color, and it is by far the best foundation I have used since CoverGirl NatureLuxe was discontinued. The foundation has a matte/natural finish, isn't too liquidy, and has a medium/buildable coverage. The powder is the only pressed powder that doesn't make me look like a powdered donut. I wish the price was lower, but I don't see me running out of the stuff too soon. I'll wait until the next sale and do the free foundation again. I think this could be good for all skin types.

I bought this product mostly because I was attracted by the buy the powder get the foundation for free deal. I have always been forced to be very picky on what I put on my face because I have always had severe acne. This product feels so great and light on my skin and it covers really well and does not make me break out. I hope that in the future, em will consider making a line of foundation with acne medication in it, maybe similar to clinique?( I would purchase the concealer from em if it had a similar formula to the clinique acne concealer since all of my spot treating is for my acne and acne scars.) I would really encourage you to try this product, especially if you are someone who likes a lighter foundation with great coverage.

sand 12
I like that the foundation has a great coverage and is light-weight which is super great because you could easily and equally spread the product on your face which is AMAZING. Plus, the most important is that it is like your own skin when you put it on yoyr face. I also like the packaging of the powder, it is so cute and it feels safe to carry around without having to worry too much that it might be smashed. However, it's just sad that I think the shade that I got is a little dark for me because one of the blogger said that it is similar to the shade of other product that I'm using. But whatever, it's not too bad. Another consequence is I just didn't like the smell, it bothers me to the point that I thought it was expired or something. But when you put it on your face, you wouldn't it smell anymore. So overall, it is worth buying and is a great deal because when you buy a foundation, you get a powder compact. Lastly, I love you Michelle! You are such an beautiful person that has a beautiful heart. ❤

I have never encountered a shade so close to my skin tone! Both products go perfectly together, but that also means neither can be worn alone which might be disappointing for some more minimalist consumers. Overall though, the product is great for me!

|The Health Record Review
by Jeff Rowe, Editor
E-prescribing continues rapid growthPosted on Sat, Dec 01, 2012 - 02:55 pm
While there are at least two sides to every story, one of the more one-sided stories in health IT is the degree to which e-prescribing has taken hold across the healthcare sector.
By "one-sided", of course, we mean e-prescribing is widely viewed in a positive light, and a new briefing paper from ONC gives some numbers that reveal just how quickly e-prescribing is being adopted.
The brief describes changes in e-prescribing at the national and state level between December 2008 and June 2012, and in it ONC examined changes in rates of physician e-prescribing, pharmacy capability to accept e-prescriptions and the volume of e-prescriptions.
Some of the findings include:
· In December 2008, 7% of physicians in the U.S. were e-prescribing using an EHR; by June 2012, almost half (48%) of physicians were e-prescribing using an EHR on the Surescripts network.
· As of June 2012, twenty-three states had more than half of their physicians e-prescribing.
· States that had the highest growth in percent of physicians e-prescribing using an EHR include New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota from December 2008-June 2012.
· Massachusetts (77%), New Hampshire (74%), and Iowa (73%) had the highest rate of physicians e-prescribing through an EHR.
· From December 2008 to June 2012, nineteen states increased the percent of physicians e- prescribing through an EHR by 50% or more.
· The growth in e-prescribing has not been limited to physicians. In the same period, the percent of community pharmacies enabled to accept e-prescriptions grew from 76% to 94%.
· Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas had the largest increases in community pharmacies enabled to accept e- prescriptions.
· The vast majority of pharmacies are enabled to accept e-prescriptions in Rhode Island (97%), Delaware (98%), and Nevada (96%).

Most Asian nations realizing Internet cannot be tamed
Sep 15, 2011, 5:30 p.m.
By Raju Gopalakrishnan
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - It's not just dictators. Governments around the world, many of them popularly elected, have tried for years to control the Internet and social media, dismayed by their potential to incite violence, spread mischief and distribute pornography and dissent.
But in Asia, home to everything from free-wheeling democracies to totalitarian regimes and others in between, many governments are increasingly realizing that controlling online content, including dissent, just will not work.
Even China, which strongly regulates the Internet and is grappling with how to deal with the extremely popular microblogs read by hundreds of millions of its people, is highly unlikely to block them completely.
"Governments are committing quite a bit of resources and time to block websites and I think it's a panic reaction," says Phil Robertson, Bangkok-based deputy director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch.
"They have some temporary, immediate discouraging effect but over the longer term, they won't be effective because people will still find a way to get the news they want to hear.
"Once people have been exposed to the Internet and see the power of getting information free to your computer, it's a very addictive feeling of empowerment."
That snowballing of sentiment has played out this year in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia, where governments have been overthrown by movements bolstered by the Internet. The United States tried to block dissemination of the Wikileaks cables and British Prime Minister David Cameron threatened to temporarily censor social networking sites after riots last month.
Asia is also learning first-hand about the ubiquitous power of the wired world.
In India, authorities were taken aback last month when an anti-corruption campaign multiplied on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites and drew tens of thousands of people to protest sites.
But there were no signs the government tried in any way to crack down on the online crusade, even if it could have.
"At the rate in which it gained momentum, I don't think the government actually had the time to ban the movement," said Vijay Mukhi, a cyber-security expert.
Mukhi said the government did selectively block some sites, but added Internet users in a nation with millions of tech-savvy engineers and software developers could easily bypass controls.
"The Indian government doesn't realize that blocking websites is a futile task because nowadays it has become so easy to find other means to get access to banned sites," he said.
"They are just helping to popularize those particular sites and inviting more traffic."
South Korea, the world's most wired nation with 80 percent of households having access to the Internet, is one of two electoral democracies in the world to substantially block access to some sites, said a study on 37 countries this year by U.N.-funded watchdog Freedom House. The other is Turkey.
South Korea heavily filters online content involving North Korea, with which it is still technically at war. But its citizens continue to lobby the government for more access.
"No healthy democracy is possible where free speech is not tolerated," said a letter earlier this month from the Electronic Frontier Foundation organization to the president.

Either that, or it's just not the job of citizens to go around doing "investigations" into relatively minor breaches of state law.
Look at it this way. Is it more likely that these journalists are true sentinels of fairness and democracy and are about to uncover a massive and elaborate plot to illegally elect Huckabee in '08, or is it more likely that they need someone concrete to point the finger at for a tabloidesque story on an ultimately inconsequential Wikipedia edit.

When it comes to Easter eating, our family has favorites: Deviled eggs, baked ham, potato salad and Rice Krispies cereal treats are a must. However, we also like trying something new. We found ground lamb on sale and decided to try some curried lamb meatballs.
When it comes to pie, everyone has a favorite, from bright citrus key lime to the dark decadence of chocolate silk. There are fruit lovers who demand all pies have a double crust and go well with ice cream, and there are those who delight in creamy pudding mixed with coconut or bananas. Then there are the pumpkin lovers who argue a pie without a squash isn't a pie at all. Around our house we love them all, but there is one pie we love the best: the cheesecake.

It's a Thursday night, and, on TV, the Braves and the Cardinals are tied in one of the most dramatic pennant races ever, the game that will clinch the Series lineup. Because it's a Thursday night, it's also the night when Friends is on. Seinfeld too. Same with ER. All new episodes. On this same Thursday night, Nashvillians can flip to any one of the 65 other channels that glow dusk to dawn. Or maybe they can take in a movie. Almost every neighborhood has its own movie theater. Across Nashville there are almost100 screens. On the other hand, this is the perfect night to stay home. Severe thunderstorm warnings have cleared the streets. The temperature is predicted to dip into the 40s.
Given such circumstances, it's a wonder there's even one seat filled at the Darkhorse Theater on Charlotte Avenue. However, word of mouth has been strong for the Mockingbird Public Theatre's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, which opened at at Darkhorse the previous weekend. The opening weekend of Earnest was, in fact, the biggest in the Mockingbird's two-year history. Reservations for the coming weekend suggest almost-full houses.
Still, Mockingbird's audience on this Thursday night is disappointing. There's no problem with their responsiveness. Every time David Alford, as the rakish Algernon, or Rona Carter, as the imperious Lady Bracknell, dashes off one of Oscar Wilde's dazzling epigrams, the couples in each row rock with laughter. On her way out, a blond woman in a red sweater repeatedly giggles and tells her date, "That was so silly!"
The only thing wrong with this Thursday night's audience is its size. Of the Darkhorse's 123 seats, only 24 are filled. At $10 a ticket, that means the theater made $240 for the entire nightassuming every ticketholder paid to get in.
Now put this performance in the perspective as part of Earnest's entire 11-show run. Alford, Mockingbird's founder and artistic director, estimates that it costs between $13,000 and $18,000 to mount each of his company's productions. Since the script for The Importance of Being Earnest is in the public domain, Mockingbird doesn't have to pay performance royalties this time around, and that means significant saving in costs. Still, there is the cost of the sets and the costumes, and there is the overhead of renting the Darkhorse facility. What's more, Mockingbird is one of the few small theater companies in town that pays its actors. To break even on ticket sales alone, the company would have to sell out every remaining performance of its current run.
Such a thing could happen. Earnest is a lot of fun. And it can perform at the box office. Wilde's comedy of manners is required reading in many high-school and college drama classes, a fact that almost guarantees an audience. Many of Nashville's small theaters have discovered that the size of the audience is directly proportionate to the name recognition of the play.
Fifteen years ago, it looked as if Nashville's homegrown theater community was experiencing a burst of activity virtually unmatched in our city's history. For a brief period, exciting new theater companies opened with surprising frequency; they were stoked with fresh talent and original ideas; they dared to present plays that hadn't previously been performed in Nashville. Some of the actors and directors active in local theater at that time remember envisioning Nashville as a community that could support theater of all kinds, and at all levels, from high-gloss professional productions in a multimillion-dollar arts center to experimental, avant-garde shows staged in out-of-the-way venues.
That dream has faded considerably. In the past few years, many of Nashville's promising companies have disappeared, unable to find or draw audiences. Others have survived, but their energies have been sapped by a constant struggle for fundingas well as a never-ending struggle against audience apathy. Even Nashville's most established theater companies are starting to wonder just how much interest the public has in live theater, especially when the repertoire ventures beyond a limited selection of musicals, light comedies, and name-brand dramas.
George S. Kaufman once defined satire as "what closes Saturday night." For the past few years, Nashville's theater companies have begun to wonder whether any locally produced show, regardless of its genre, can have a real chance of surviving past its Thursday opening night.
In 1994 the Metro Arts Commission released The Arts in Nashville, a comprehensive study that surveyed 1,300 supporters, patrons, or participants in the arts, along with 1,303 Nashvillians selected at random to represent the general public. Results of the survey showed that 34 percent of the general public in Nashville attended a play during the 12 months covered by the study. That figure was 20 percent higher than the national average. However, the study also showed that even arts supporters attended plays an average of less than four times a year. That means competition for patrons is tough among Nashville's theater companies.
The study also ranked the frequency with which arts supporters attend performances at various local arts organizationsincluding theaters. Ranked first, by a wide margin, was the TPAC Broadway Series; 87 percent attended the Broadway Series, at least occasionally. Tennessee Repertory Theatre came in second among theater companies, with 75 percent. Only 12 percent of arts supporters said they attended Darkhorse Theater, perhaps Nashville's best-known alternative theater. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents said they never attended Darkhorse.
The people who responded to the survey gave a variety of reasons why they took advantage of so few events. Most often, they complained of not having enough time. Ticket prices were another frequently mentioned concernwhich may concern relatively expensive productions by professional presenters like the Rep, Chaffin's Barn, and the TPAC Broadway Series. However, Nashville's small theater groups face a whole other set of problems:
Inconvenient locations. Because small theater companies must keep overhead low, they often settle for performing spaces that have low rent. Many times, they mount their productions in unused restaurants, in warehouses, or in abandoned storefronts. Artists' Cooperative Theatre I (ACT I), Actors' Playhouse, and Dennis Ewing's Theatre Horizons have all struggled to lure audiences to unfamiliar locations. Since ACT I moved from the Looby Theatre to the Darkhorse facility, audiences have increased dramatically, says artistic director Bob O'Connell.
Safety concerns. "You can't expect people to sit through a play while thinking, 'I wonder what's happening to our car?'" says Mockingbird's David Alford. Bob O'Connell learned that audience members were staying away from the Looby Theatre because, rightly or wrongly, they feared their cars would be burglarized during ACT I's productions. Actors' Playhouse faced a similar problem when it moved to Marathon Village, even though no incidents were ever reported and despite the fact that the company hired extra security.
Lack of publicity. In the early 1980s, it was not uncommon to see a play opening covered on the front page of the Tennessean's "Living" section. Cast lists and photos were often run in advance, and virtually every show received a review. However, when Gannett commissioned focus-group studies to determine which features drew the most readers, theater news and reviews reportedly came in near the bottom of the list. Today, Tennessean theater reviews appear alongside the obituaries. That may be the only space the morning paper can allot to a next-day review, but it sends a mixed message. "Maybe they're trying to tell us something," quips Dennis Ewing of Theatre Horizons. Obit page critiques notwithstanding, active participants in local theater companies note with dismay that they have a hard time gaining the attention of most local publications.
The TPAC Broadway Series, Tennessee Rep, Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre, and Circle Players delight thousands of Nashvillians each year with staples of the mainstream theater. Each flexes its creative muscle every season with at least one bit of challenging fare, whether it's a Shakespearean tragedy, a regional work, or a play developed by the company itself. The Rep is currently staging The Tempest with Barry Scott and Denice Hicks, two actors who, Alford says, are the biggest draws in town. Next year, Circle will follow its current production of On Borrowed Time with Miss Evers' Boys, a dramatic treatment of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. The Barn recently produced Hamlet, which stunned the dinner-theater industry by drawing an audience. "It was my gift to myself," Barn owner John Chaffin says with due pride.
Nashville's small theater groups, on the other hand, stake their fortunes on risky fare. Their missions are vastly different from those of the more established companies. Mockingbird considers itself a regional theater; ACT I performs classics such as Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Crucible. Theatre Horizons specializes in recent off-Broadway plays; an upcoming production is Nicky Silver's ferocious comedy-drama Raised in Captivity. When their gambles pay off, as was the case with Mockingbird's Love & Privilege, the Darkhorse's Triple X Love Act, and Actors' Playhouse's The Chicago Conspiracy Trial, the results can combine fresh material, innovative staging, and daredevil acting. Even when they don'tand some local small-company productions have been real lemonsthe audience cannot fall back on the crutch of a thrice-familiar script. At least there's an element of surprise.
Of late, however, Nashville theater companies have produced fewer and fewer recent off-Broadway works and experimental theater pieces. Actors' Playhouse, which introduced local audiences to important plays by Lanford Wilson, David Mamet, Terrence McNally, Christopher Durang, and other contemporary American playwrights, has been nearly inactive for the past year, sidelined by renovation woes and the loss of income from its unproduced season. Dennis Ewing's Theatre Horizons group soldiers on at Church Street Centre, but its new locationa space formerly occupied by a failed restaurantand a lack of press coverage have not been good for ticket sales. For Nashville theatergoers who can't afford trips to New York, Chicago, or London, the lack of access to new plays and new playwrights is frustrating.
"Sometimes having a good time is all people need," says Rick Seay, whose involvement in local theater dates back to the old Theatre Nashville and Circle's days on Hillsboro Road. "But having a variety means more choices. That variety has a lot to say about what a community is willing to support. What [the current theater scene] says about Nashville is that it's pretty conservative."
Perhaps a downturn was inevitable after the small-theater boom of the 1980s. The frantic activity at the time seems to have been triggered by two events:
The opening of the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in 1979 focused enormous attention on local theater. Shortly thereafter, in 1981, the Advent Theatre closed.
Advent grew out of a theater company that had been founded in 1977, supposedly to lay the groundwork for a resident professional theater company at TPAC. When construction problems delayed TPAC's openingand when questions were raised about Tennessee Performing Arts Foundation funds being used to underwrite a professional theater troupethe company took up residence in the old Episcopal Church of the Advent on 17th Avenue. In 1978, the theater severed its ties with TPAC and the Performing Arts Foundation.
As a site for a theater company, Church of the Advent should have augured well. The church's former rector, the Rev. Walter E. Dakin, was the grandfather of Tennessee Williams; Williams himself had lived in the adjacent parish house in 1916, when he was 2 years old. Good vibes notwithstanding, Advent did not fare well. After two years of expensive productions that garnered poor reviews and small audiences, the Advent building was sold to evangelist Tony Alamo and his Alamo Foundation, and the Advent company gave up the ghost. Advent's collapse left bad feelings for years, but it also opened a niche for the establishment of a new professional theater company.
Throughout the 1970s, Nashville's best-known theater companies included Circle Players, the oldest community theater in Nashville; the venerable Nashville Children's Theatre, which introduced generations of young Nashvillians to live performance; Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre, founded by John Chaffin's family in the mid-1960s; and Theatre Nashville, which continued to thrive until the early 1970s. Meanwhile, performing opportunities at the recently opened Opryland drew hordes of young hopefuls to town.
Even then, however, there were alternative theater companies such as the Ensemble Theatre Company, founded by C.B. Anderson in 1973-74. Ensemble was housed on the top floor of a building on West End near Centennial Park, where Circuit City stands today. "They were doing great work," recalls Clara Hieronymus, the Tennessean's drama critic for 40 years. Nevertheless, the theater closed in the late 1970s, and Anderson moved away to New York, where he was associated with the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "He was a genius," says Ben Meeks, a friend who worked with Anderson in several Circle productions.
As established Nashville actors left in the early '80s, however, new talents began to arrive in town. None of them intended to stay. Mac Pirkle, a ragged, longhaired Nashville native, moved back to town in 1981. Pirkle had a knack for marketing and a background in alternative theater; for years, as a member of Knoxville's avant-garde Play Group, he had been traveling Tennessee in a beat-up yellow Chevy van. In 1981 Dennis Ewing also arrived in town. An acting teacher who had managed a theater in Memphis, Ewing only meant to spend the summer in Nashville before returning to L.A. Instead, he bought a $150 Toyota Corolla and started scouting out spaces for a low-budget alternative theater. The same year, Shannon Wood, who would go on to help found Darkhorse Theater, moved to town.
Ten years later, each of these three actors was making a significant impact on Nashville theater. After the demise of the Advent company, Mac Pirkle raised $11,000 and, in November of 1981, started a fledgling professional theater company called Southern Stage Productions. By 1985, Southern Stage had taken on a new identity as Tennessee Repertory Theatre. In his first season with the Rep, Pirkle suddenly found himself working with an operating budget of $600,000. The alternative theater radical had been redefined as the director of the establishment company against which everyone else would react. In retrospect, Pirkle says he didn't mind. "Without a large theater to be inspired by or to react against, there's no critical mass," Pirkle says. "A lot of artists have developed their craft because of us."
Several of those artists joined Shannon Wood in 1991 to found Darkhorse Theater, which began to produce new plays with a remarkable group of actors, including Denice Hicks, Mark Cabus, and Jackie Welch. From 1991 to 1994, Darkhorse periodically confounded the conventional wisdom about limited audiences for unfamiliar plays. Productions such as Triple X Love Act and the environmental theater piece White Peoplewhich challenged audience members to walk through the performance, as if it were a living-history museumdrew overflow crowds.
Ewing enjoyed a parallel sort of success at Poverty Playhouse, the company he and Janet Claire founded in 1982 in the old Goody's Warehouse on Second Avenue. Ewing says he longed to do "edgy, small, intimate theater." With its first production, Poverty Playhouse drew a line in the sand. The play was David Mamet's blistering, profane Sexual Perversity in Chicago.
From the moment the production was announced, Ewing says, people warned him that Sexual Perversity would never find an audience in the Bible Belt. O ye of littleor too muchfaith. The production was scheduled for four weeks; it ran for 16, with 60 people wedged into the 37-seat playhouse for many performances. "Ever since then, I've thought about calling every show Sex, Sex, Sex," Ewing says. "Sometimes just the titles'll bring 'em in." When the Goody's building was sold, Poverty Playhouse was forced to seek a new home. It was not the last time Ewing would have to seek a new venue; in the coming years he would move from space to space around town, founding a string of small theater companies, including the Inner City Dinner Theater and the Laughing Stock.
In 1987 Ewing and his partners moved into a tiny upstairs space previously occupied by a company called the John Galt Theatre. The Galt enterprise had been founded by Steve Kelly, who had supported it for years with his business, Hot Wires Zinging Telegrams. The theater, which performed in a room above a West End sandwich shop, was rechristened The Actors' Playhouse. Ewing's productions were hailed by some and despised by others, but Actors' Playhouse gave Nashville its first glimpse of a number of acclaimed contemporary plays: Mamet's Speed the Plow, Stephen Sondheim's dramatic musical Assassins, and Martin Sherman's controversial Holocaust drama Bent.
A few years ago, Ewing and the Playhouse board of directors parted on less than friendly terms. Actors' Playhouse continued to stage productions at its West End location before making an ill-fated move to Marathon Village last year. Ewing formed yet another company, Theatre Horizons.
Spurred on by the sense of excitement generated by these and other companies, more than 20 small theater companies have opened in Nashville during the past 10 years. The Avante Garage, led by Michael Bouson and Joe Correll, performed improvisational comedy and original comedies. The Carpenter's Playhouse was a Christian theater company. The list also includes the Nightingale Theatre, the New Play Theatre, and the Cereal Killers.
Today, all of these theaters are gone. The fortunate ones have survived by evolving. For example, Theatrevolution ultimately transmogrified into the Nashville Shakespeare Festival. Other troupes died, apparently, because they never developed a long-term plan of action. Thomas L. Turk, executive director of the Metro Arts Commission, notes that some groups form companies to perform a single play and then dissolve shortly thereafter. On the other hand, there's no denying that many of Nashville's smaller theater groups have gone out of business simply because they could not lure audiences to unfamiliar locations, or because they could not balance expenses against a shaky income mix of ticket sales and public arts funding.
A typical story is that of Studio Stage, which struggled for two-and-a-half years in a Donelson strip mall on Stewarts Ferry Pike. The group's founder, Jill Massie, had pursued a career in Miami and L.A. before she arrived in Nashville. She intended just to stay for a couple of months while she worked on an original musical. "That was seven years ago," Massie says, laughing. While still working on her musical, Massie took a job at the Acting Studio, a school run by veteran acting coach Ruth Sweet. When Sweet cut back on her local theater activities, she ceded her space to Massie.
Massie decided to open an 85-seat theater, Studio Stage, in the Acting Studio space. Studio Stage's mission, as Massie planned it, was threefold: The company would present original musicals along with out-of-print scripts by British and American playwrights. It would offer a training facility. And it would function as a professional theater, ultimately developing into an Equity house. "We didn't need any more nonprofessional theaters in town," Massie insists. "You can't bring in actors if there's no paying work." She spent about $10,000 on renovations and start-up fees.
From the start, Studio Stage was beset with difficulties. Zoning hassles delayed the theater's opening for an entire year, depriving the company of a season's worth of work and revenue. The wait was draining for Massie, both financially and emotionally. Finally, she learned that the theater would be ready to open in the fall of 1995. The first script was already prepared: It would be Maybe in Another Lifetime, the musical Massie had cowritten with her husband, Tom Montgomery. A local actor who had recently appeared in a New York revival of Jesus Christ Superstar was drafted for the cast; a New York producer came down to take a look.
Like most other small-theater organizers, Massie could not afford a major ad campaign. Press coverage was minimal. "One critic, whom I won't name, told me [Donelson] was too far a drive for her to review," Massie recalls. Another problem was the season's late start. Because of zoning problems, Another Lifetime couldn't open until Novembermonths after other theaters were already up and running. Ticket sales were disappointing. In addition, Massie intended to pay her actors; that meant a minimum ticket price of $20. As it turned out, no other small theater company in town was charging more than $10.
The pattern continued with Studio Stage's next show, Portrait of Jennie, and with the company's next original effort, The Impostors. In desperation, Massie decided to trundle out Godspell, just to see what kind of response a big-name musical would spark.
Response to Godspell was "slow at first," Massie admits. But by the end of the run, she says, "crowds had tripled." The jolly-spirited musical ran for five weeks. Nevertheless, Massie says, "We still couldn't get a single critic out." On July 1, 1996, Massie closed Studio Stage for good. She'll need five years, she thinks, to get out from under the debt she ran up during the theater's two-year history.
"Art should not be a luxury; it should be part of everyday life," Massie says. "But we realized we were serving a community that did not want to be served. Theater is not something people [in Donelson] consider on a Friday or Saturday night." Massie insists that she is not sour on theater. "I know there's a way to make this work," she says. But as for trying it in Nashville, she says, "I don't know that I'd do it in this town again."
Almost every detail of Massie's lament has been echoed, at one time or another, by every theater company in townbig or small, for-profit or not-for-profit. Especially common are complaints about the difficulty of performing original or unfamiliar works. From Tennessee Repertory Theatre to Mockingbird, many of Nashville's theater companies have attempted to develop and stage original plays. All of them have met with mixed results.
If shows such as the Rep's original musical A House Divided were brought into Nashville from another city, suggests Pirkle, they would probably stand a better chance with local audiences. "You have to have a bit of approval from outside," Pirkle explains. "You're rarely a hero in your hometown." Until the Rep lands a show on Broadway, he figures, the company will have a hard time attracting Sound of Music-size crowds for original works.
Smaller companies, which don't have the Rep's advertising budget or its subscriber base, face an even more difficult struggle. Before the Nashville Shakespeare Festival and Darkhorse Theater parted ways in 1994, Darkhorse spent years cultivating an audience for original dramas. Results were uneven. "One show would have a lot of people, the next wouldn't," remembers Shannon Wood. "I tend to think people go to see things they're familiar with, or things that have a performer they know."
Quality is another factor. It must be said that audience members showed up for some offbeat shows and were turned off permanently by bad scripts, poor performances, or vulgarity simply for the sake of puerile shock value. By contrast, the Darkhorse achieved a measure of success with its productions because audiences came to trust its high standards.
Even so, corporate sponsorsso crucial to the survival of theater companiesseem reluctant to sink money into unusual productions that might result in a public-relations fiasco. "A corporate sponsor isn't going to want people running around naked onstage," David Alford insists. The current climate for arts groups, he says, is "very hostile" nationwide. "People already view art as subversivecountercultural, mean-spirited, smashing values."
The money crunch also takes its toll on actors and directors. To put it bluntly, nobody's going to get rich doing local theater. Mockingbird's David Alford is one of the few local actors who has managed to support himself exclusively by pursuing his craft. Almost everyone else has day gigs. Rick Seay, who appears in ACT I's upcoming Light Up the Sky, teaches Latin at Hillwood High School; Thais Hardison, whose production of Charles Ludlum's farce The Mystery of Irma Vep opens Friday at Theatre Horizons, supports herself as a waitress at Mulligan's Pub. Dennis Ewing has done everything from landscaping to distributing newspapers. Ironically, whenever actors earn the credentials to join their professional union, which gives them access to relatively lucrative Equity jobs, they're barred from non-Equity workthus reducing the talent pool available to smaller local companies.
Nevertheless, Nashville's small theater companies agree that the biggest challenge is simply getting people in the door. Last year, in its new space at Marathon Village, Actors' Playhouse produced Faith Healer, a work by the Irish playwright Brian Friel. Friel's works are rarely staged in Nashville. According to word-of-mouth, the Playhouse production was a challenging one. The average audience, however, consisted of 12 people. One night, the cast performed for a whopping audience of three paying customers.
Don Breedwell, artistic director of Actors' Playhouse, levels some blame at what he calls "the TPAC syndrome"the perception that, if a play doesn't feature costly sets, flashy costumes, and a general sense of spectacle, or if it simply doesn't take place at TPAC, it's somehow inferior. Breedwell may be right, but it's also likely that a large segment of the Nashville audience simply has never had the experience of live theater, performed on a bare stage with minimal props.
Without a broad exposure to theater, Clara Hieronymus suggests, the audience tends to be "pretty undiscriminating." She argues that audiences are too often cowed by touring productions that feature a single big name, such as Robert Goulet's recent appearance in Man of La Mancha at TPAC. "The truth is, he was awful," Hieronymus says.
Circle treasurer Maggi Bowden, who will appear in ACT I's Light Up the Sky, recalls a friend's classification of the three kinds of theatergoers: "the people who'll go anyway; the people who'll never go; and the huge number of people in the middle who might." That enormous potential audience is the one every Nashville theater companylike every theater company everywherehopes to reach.
The challenges facing small theater companies are hardly new. In her 1965 thesis A History of the Community Theatre Movement in Nashville 1926-1951, Margery Hollister Hargrove observed that boosters of local theatre in the early 1900s fell into two categories. One group consisted of "drama devotees" who felt that theater was a "national necessity...to keep alive the art and literature of the stage." A second group was composed of "grande dames" who found their social outings to local playhouses threatened by the advent of motion pictures. "Those ladies," wrote Hargrove, "considered the restoration of the theater as a civic duty, and as such it assumed a certain moralistic overtone."
It was the latter group that Mrs. A. Starr Best urgently addressed one April day in 1921. At a meeting of Nashville's most prestigious women's organization, The Centennial Club, she warned the assembled ladies that the people of Tennessee were bombarded by the "faulty and oftentime immoral productions" that toured the state. Touring companies still passed through Nashville then, offering everything from serious drama to risqué burlesque. Some of these plays, reported The Nashville Tennessean, exerted an "insidious and dangerous influence." Mrs. Best offered a solution: a local drama league.
She was not a disinterested party. In 1910, in her hometown of Chicago, Best had helped to found the Drama League of America. The Drama League encouraged civic groups across the country to start affiliated drama clubs to promote higher standards of theater through productions and play readings. By the 1920s small local theater companies had become a nationwide phenomenon. Hargrove estimates that 400 such companies had sprung up across the country, including theater groups in Johnson City, Memphis, and Chattanooga. By September 1921, a Nashville Drama League had been formed, complete with officers and a board of directors.
It wasn't until 1926, however, that a Nashville Little Theatre actually got under way. It brought together members of the Drama League, another local theater organization called the Stagecrafters, and a group of drama devotees that included Lark Taylor, a local actor of some renown who was a cousin of former Tennessee Governors Alf and Bob Taylor. A stage was secured at the old Hillsboro Theatre for a modest monthly fee, and the theater posted a slate of seven plays for the 1926-27 season.
Expectations for the season were high. "Nashville should be successful beyond most cities of its size," read a press release quoted in Hargrove's thesis, "when account is taken of the mine of intelligence, culture, and artistic capacity upon which the [Little Theatre] Guild can draw for its productions." The theater presented works by popular dramatists such as Henrik Ibsen and George S. Kaufman; its performers included Dr. H.B. Schermerhorn, Sam Tarpley, and an actor named Sam Tompkins, who would go on to achieve success in Hollywood under the name Tom Ewell. And yet, after only six full seasons, the Nashville Little Theatre ceased production.
The reasons for its demise are eerily similar to the problems that plague Nashville's small theater companies today. Functioning in the midst of the Depression, the Little Theatre slashed its ticket prices to remain affordableespecially since it had to compete with other sources of entertainment, such as movies and touring shows. But lower ticket prices limited the amount of money the theater could make on each production. Directors clashed with the Little Theatre board over everything from financing to the choice of plays, so there was frequent turnover. When the Little Theatre attempted a playwriting contest in 1931, it failed to generate much excitement, although the audience reportedly enjoyed the first-prize winner: The Lost Sheep, a "Negro comedy" by Andrew Lytle, which required its cast to wear blackface. To make matters worse, as Hargrove notes, newspaper coverage of theater had been greatly reduced.
By 1932 the Little Theatre board had decided that, unless it could get a better deal on rent for the Hillsboro stage and unless it could cut the director's salary, it would have to move elsewhere. Instead, the Little Theatre never produced again.
In summing up the Nashville Little Theatre's demise, Hargrove blamed the company for making "little or no attempt...to include and interest the general public of the city, thus making any great expansion difficult if not impossible." She also lambasted the theater's board for failing to formulate "plans and objectives...for even one season, much less for several."
Nashville's theater companies still face precisely these same issues. "We have to educate and enlighten before we can serve," says Jill Massie. Smaller companies are attempting community-outreach programs, similar to those offered by Nashville Children's Theatre or TPAC's Humanities Outreach Tennessee program. The Nashville Shakespeare Festival has toured extensively with condensed versions of Romeo and Juliet and other plays, introducing thousands of schoolchildren to the experience of live theater.
There are signs that the clouds may be parting above Nashville's small theater companies. Despite the odds, new companies continue to open; witness Dan McGeachy and Darren Stuart's Theatre of Dreams and the performing space Ken Bernstein has opened above Bongo Java on Belmont Avenue. ACT I's production of The Crucible was the most successful in its six-year history; reservations are already coming in for Light Up the Sky. The final performances of The Importance of Being Earnest are filling up for Mockingbird Public Theatre. Plays as diverse as the Rep's The Tempest and Theatre Horizons' The Mystery of Irma Vep are both in performance this weekend.
"The theater does come and go, but the need is always there," says Denice Hicks, who plays Ariel in The Rep's The Tempest. Durmg a rehearsal break at TPAC, Prospero's storm is clattering and raging around her. But Hicks, who makes her living as an actress, is all confidence. "There has been an ebb," she says, "and now it's flowing again."

Though there remained a slim possibility that the track would have been able to present the championship races, with the prediction and potential for additional severe weather track officials called off the scheduled events planned for the evening.

If you've ever wondered how the mighty kingfish got its name then ponder no more. Thousands of years ago, before apes evolved into humans, aquatic specimens used to be the kings of the jungle. Mufasa and Simba were to enter the animal kingdom decades later, so the modest kingfish cracked the whip from Pride Rock to the Far North in little old New Zealand.
Grab two nights for two people including breakfast, scenic harbour cruise transfers and a bottle of bubbly for just $429.
If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, then Kingfish Lodge is the perfect place to getaway to. Located in the stunning Whangaroa harbour and accessible only by water, the unique wilderness lodge is the best place to lap up some of the best scenery the Far North has to offer.
Kingfish Lodge is located looking out over the quiet cove and across the Whangaroa harbour. It features five newly renovated, waterfront guest rooms called the Waterfront Quarters and seven studio rooms aptly named Cove View Rooms which are elevated to enjoy the views.
You'll hop on the 15-minute scenic harbour cruise transfer (often referred to as the Milford Sound of the North Island) before you arrive in the secluded paradise that's just waiting to be discovered. Once you arrive the world's your oyster. For the fishing enthusiasts, there are plenty of great spots to give your rod and reel a good workout. And for everyone else there are onsite walks, historical points of interest, kayaks or why not purchase a picnic from the onsite restaurant and find a romantic spot ? Rooms don't include cooking facilities; however, you'll get a delicious house continental breakfast each morning included in this deal and if you're feeling peckish during the day there's an onsite café and restaurant to keep you satisfied.
