Last Call: A Conversation with "Savage in Limbo" Director T.J. Johnson
"One of my goals is to seek out plays that have that universality of the human condition."
Antonio "T.J." Johnson reflects on his choice to include Savage in Limbo, John Patrick Shanley's homage to the dark nights of the soul that can only be found in the wee hours of a Bronx bar, in this year's Staged Reading Series lineup. The play will be read on Monday evening at the Encinitas Library.
"I was cast as Murk in a New York reading of this play and I was very impressed by the diversity of the cast and how the story was not affected by that diversity," says T.J., who will direct the reading with a smart and savvy cast, including Sherri Allen, Bryan Barbarin, Carol Cabrera, Jeffrey Jones and Jennifer Eve Thorn.
This universality is one of the things that drives this playwright's work. Well known for his recent Pulitzer Prize-winning work, Doubt, even in this early play, Shanley drives home themes and situations that resonate regardless of race, background or geographical location. Everyone can relate to the fight to prove the truth of one's own instincts against a sea of opposition. Everyone can relate to the realization that one's life direction might be unclear, or in limbo.
"There are no heroes. There are only human dealings," says T.J., explaining that while Shanley introduces these themes, he very rarely becomes didactic in his writing. "He leaves the conclusion to the journey of the individual in the audience. I think the debates go on into the night."
Although Savage in Limbo was written 30 years ago, the play's urgent message to "break the sameness" is still just as relevant, and watching the story of these 30-somethings unfold as they attempt to solve their life problems over booze and banter is a testament to the theatrical power of the bar setting to elicit truth-telling.
"I am intrigued by plays set in bars," admits T.J. "A lot of truths are spoken there, such as in O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh. Turning points are reached as the truth serum flows. Lies are exposed and feelings may be hurt, but always with the right intentions. We get to witness it and live in New York for a short time with these characters."
Part of what makes this invitation to the party so realistic is the powerful accuracy of Shanley's dialogue. D.C. Theatre Scene reviewer Steven McKnight commented that "few people can write successfully for realistic characters in such a lyrical manner. Shanley can be fiercely funny or brutally honest while still maintaining compassion for the lovable losers that populate many of his works."
This realism, while effective, can also present a challenge to the actors as they work to capture the various tempos, rhythms and speech patterns of their characters.
"As this is one of his early plays, Shanley has fun with snide New York dialogue delivered in rapid pace," says T.J. "We have to trust that dialogue and find the rhythms."
Join us Monday evening, and enjoy a glass of wine as you find your own reserved seat at the bar. The company is guaranteed to entertain.

Life is a Sueño: A Conversation with Staged Reading Director Stephen Schmitz
"Poetry, language and a little irreverence…"
Director Stephen Schmitz gives a nutshell synopsis of José Rivera's Sueño when asked what audiences can expect from Monday evening's installment of the Intrepid Staged Reading Series at the Encinitas Library. Rivera's play, adapted from Pedro Calderón de la Barca's 1635 play, Life is a Dream, takes the words of Spain's answer to William Shakespeare and breathes contemporary life into the hundred-year-old narrative.
"Rivera's ability turn a phrase, moving from the profound to the crass at a moments notice, and to find poetry in the mundane, is just wonderful," says Stephen. "The first thing I told my cast was I wanted to language to shine above all else in this reading."
The story follows the journey of the hero, Prince Segismundo, who is imprisoned at a young age when astrologers predict that he will be the ruin of his father's kingdom. From inside his captivity, he consorts with a colorful cast of characters until his father, unable to find another heir, releases him for one day to determine whether or not his son is fit for the monarchy. Moving from isolation to court and back, Segismundo begins to question what part of life is real and what part is all just a dream. As Segismundo questions, we all begin to wonder the same thing.
"I don't think there is a more essential question about life and the human condition we can imagine than 'What is this? What are we experiencing? What are we supposed to do with this life? How much control do we have?'" says Stephen. "Our lives and philosophies have become so complex, perhaps the playwright is reminding audiences to simplify their lives. Return to the basics, if you will: Be just, be kind, and stop trying to control everything."
José Rivera, a Fulbright scholar, two-time Obie Award winner and Oscar Nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Motorcycle Diaries, manages to combine these themes of Calderón's original work while keeping the language relevant and accessible. That is what originally drew Intrepid Staged Reading Series Committee Member Brian Rickel to the play.
"I've worked on a lot of his plays either in class or as a teacher," says Brian. "I am really drawn to some of the social arguments he forces people to examine. Sueño is probably the one that I've spent the least amount of time with but touched me the most when I saw it performed and I wanted to share that experience."
Bringing these irreverently philosophical characters to life on Monday night will be Joel Castellaw, James Cota, Jerry Hagar, Shane Monaghan, Charles Peters, Erin Petersen, Derek San Filippo and Kristin Woodburn Wright.
Not up on your Calderón? Not to worry, says Stephen.
"The original allegory should shine through so much, it will give the audience a deeper understanding of their current condition."
Even if it is "spiced," as American Theatre says of Sueño, "with science, sarcasm and sweetness."

Remembering and Rebuilding: Honoring Holocaust Remembrance Day
"Memory is what shapes us. Memory is what teaches us. We must understand that's where our redemption is." – Estelle Laughlin, Holocaust Survivor
This week, around the world, countries and organizations will hold ceremonies of remembrance to honor Yom HaShoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Tonight, Intrepid Theatre Company joins the Leichtag Foundation in Encinitas to honor Holocaust Remembrance Day with a special reading of The Substance of Fire by Jon Robin Baitz. (For more information on tonight's reading, click here.)
"On Yom HaShoa, we call upon theatre and the arts to engage our memory and in so doing we bring life to those who are lost," says Rabbi Andy Kastner, director of educational leadership and innovation for the Leichtag Foundation. "Theatre and the arts provide a pathway to the soul to express emotion and explore the human condition."
Yom HaShoa was first established by the Israeli Parliament in 1951 and was formalized in the United States in 1980 with the creation of the Holocaust Memorial Council. In addition to establishing a living memorial, a day of remembrance and an educational foundation, this council was charged with a great responsibility: to make sure that something like this never happens again.
"It's really a moral challenge to us to do more in our own lives when we confront injustice or hatred or genocide," says Sara Bloomfield, the director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. (For more information on the museum's nationally programmed events, please visit their website.)
"The Hebrew phrase for Holocaust Remembrance Day is Yom HaShoa – 'Shoa,' meaning 'whirlwind,'" says Rabbi Kastner. "It reminds us how hatred and war can fuel the devastation of human life and culture. On this day of memorial, we recommit ourselves to the value of human life and our collective role to pursue justice in our community."
Founded in 1991, The Leichtag Foundation honors the legacy of philanthropists Lee and Toni Leichtag by "igniting and inspiring vibrant Jewish life, advancing self-sufficiency and stimulating social entrepreneurship in coastal North San Diego County and Jerusalem." In addition to providing financial support for these goals, the Foundation has a farm and ranch presence in Encinitas, which hosts immersive volunteer activities and is dedicated to education and sustainability as inspired by ancient Jewish traditions that connect people to community, food, the land, and social justice.
Connection with community is integral to the Foundation's mission, and supporting that connection on Yom HaShoa through a theatre event that incorporates local artists is a decision that reflects those values.
"Intrepid is using the language of theatre to explore themes of memory, place and understanding," says Rabbi Kastner. "We were fortunate to have been introduced to [Producing Artistic Director] Christy Yael-Cox who proposed the idea of the collaboration."
Written in 1990 by Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Jon Robin Baitz (Other Desert Cities), The Substance of Fire follows the career of a book publisher and Holocaust survivor whose business decisions lead to conflict with his sons and daughters. The play was adapted to film in 1997 with Ron Rifkin and Sarah Jessica Parker.
A Jewish-American playwright, Baitz has admitted in interviews that there was something very specific about the threads of his heritage that still connect him to the events of the Holocaust, a theme he regularly unpacks with his writing.
"Growing up you always felt that you were one of the luckiest of the lucky," he stated in an interview with The Jewish Chronicle Online. "To be an American Jew carried with it the responsibility to make yourself and the world a lot better."
Intrepid Artistic Director Sean Yael-Cox will direct tonight's reading which will take place at the Ranch at the Leichtag Foundation in Encinitas. The cast will feature Brian Mackey, Jack Missett, Jacquelyn Ritz and Rachael VanWormer. While admission is free, please email email@example.com for reservations.

Powers and Politics: T.J. Johnson and Director Joe Powers Discuss "My Children! My Africa!"
"I've got a whole zoo in here, a mad zoo of hungry animals…and the keeper is frightened!…Because one of those animals, the one called Hope, has broken loose and is looking for food. Don't be fooled by its gentle name. It is as dangerous as Hate and Despair would be if they ever managed to break out." — Mr. M
While Athol Fugard's now historic play , My Children! My Africa! was written and set in 1980s apartheid South Africa, the story resonates so far beyond this original setting that it has enjoyed New York revivals as recently as 2012. That this resonance was one of the main reasons Fugard's work was chosen to be represented in Intrepid's Staged Reading Series on Monday evening is no coincidence.
"When asked to be on the committee for the readings, I became immediately excited about the opportunity to explore some stories and playwrights I had for a long time wanted to share with San Diego audience," says Antonio "T.J." Johnson, longtime actor and director in town and now a member of this year's Intrepid Staged Reading Series Committee.
My Children! My Africa!, which will be read on Monday March 23 at the Encinitas Library, represents one of these stories and Athol Fugard one of these playwrights.
"I am a longtime Athol Fugard enthusiast," says T.J. of the Tony Award-winning playwright, noting that he understudied the role of the teacher, Mr. M, at La Jolla Playhouse early in his career, working with Des McAnuff and Brock Peters. T.J. will be reprising that role on Monday, working with longtime collaborator Joe Powers.
"The opportunity to re-enter his world with Joe Powers directing is probably the favorite of my entries into this year's reading series," says T.J. "It is a timely, intelligent and relevant piece that speaks to our current social problem."
My Children! My Africa! is set in 1984 apartheid South Africa and the story unfolds through three characters: Anela Myalata, or "Mr. M," a speech and debate teacher, Thami, his star student (played by Marshall Anderson) and Isabel, a visiting white student who has come to engage in some verbal academic sparring (played by Chase McCarthy). Set against a backdrop of violence and racism, the classroom alliance forged by the three as they discuss literature, politics and personal beliefs becomes increasingly fragile as the outside world bears down on their newfound trust. What transpires is the stuff of Greek tragedy.
"On the surface, My Children! My Africa! is about a particular time, place and circumstance," says director Joe Powers. "The bigger picture, of course, is its universality and timelessness . . . our ongoing battle as human beings against the 'curse' of racism is never ending and has not slowed one bit from the time this play was written to the present. That is what makes this play powerful in 2015 or anywhere in the world where daily we see examples of it over and over again."
Written in 1989, the play has enjoyed numerous performances all over the world, as theater companies continually find Fugard's words relevant and immediately accessible. Also intriguing are the parallels drawn between Mr. M and the more well known South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, Nelson Mandela (also a Mr. M), who passed away in 2013. The campaign for change that defined Mandela's life is present in Fugard's words, as is the battle between integrity and survival, and fighting for one's convictions over accepting the status quo.
"The play deals with the ethical question of 'right and wrong' and what do we do when we know in our hearts of hearts what is right, but don't always act accordingly," says Joe. "Do we have the individual strength and power to hold to our belief, our convictions, even when consensus and the opinions of our peers say otherwise?"
These are not always easy questions to answer and the reflection of these convictions in the text is what makes Athol Fugard's writing so appealing to audiences and so timelessly compelling. In every review of the play, the text is consistently the star of the show. In a 1991 review, Silvie Drake wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "His play dazzles with its words. Rarely has a play been so verbal and also so profoundly stirring." For Joe, this is the crux of the play.
"The play is about the power of words to make a difference," says Joe. "Words used with forethought and precise planning are truly the ultimate tool and weapon. These words backed up with actions and commitment can be invincible."
And watching these words unfold on Monday evening through the talents of this stunning cast will be an event not to be missed.
"The audience can expect to be moved almost to tears by Fugard's riveting story," says Joe. "They can expect to be on the edge of their seat, anticipating each upcoming scene, hoping, white-knuckled, all will end well for the characters. They can look forward to walking away having felt something deep within their souls."

Music and Mahoney: A Conversation with Dr. Terry O'Donnell and Benjamin Roy
"The best spellers don't necessarily win…"
The show-stopping Act One number in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is aptly named "Pandemonium," as it viscerally sets the tone for this Tony Award-winning musical where we learn that life can be chaotic and nonsensical and that part of growing up is dealing with disappointments. While these things are not news to the contestants in Intrepid's Season Five finale, which runs through March 15 at the Performing Arts Center in San Marcos, these spellers have something that the rest of us do not: a comfort counselor.
"I would say the sole purpose of a comfort counselor is to console those who have lost," says Benjamin Roy, who plays Mitchell M. Mahoney, the Official Comfort Counselor whose job it is to serenade each wanna-"bee" winner after they misspell, dismissing them from competition. Comforting these adolescent spellers is no simple task. Each responds with different degrees of outrage, denial, confusion and joy.
"There are extremely different personalities meshed together in this one setting of competition," says Ben, and it soon becomes pretty apparent in the show that a juice box alone won't solve everyone's problems. Mitchell M. Mahoney, a former convict doing community service as part of his parole, may or may not be the best candidate for the position.
"Mitch has an interesting job because, I feel, he doesn't know the meaning of the word comfort," says Ben. While Mitch's commentary may seem truthfully abrasive (at one point he suggests beating up the contestants to teach them that there's more to life than spelling), his outside observations balances the academic intensity that defines the rest of the characters.
This intensity is supported throughout the show by the hip and edgy score of Spelling Bee. As the stories unfold and we begin to understand each speller's individual struggles, triumphs, insecurities and deepest dreams, we also appreciate the musical lines unique to their characters. Musical Director Dr. Terry O'Donnell says this is what fascinates him about this type of pop-inspired, contemporary musical theater.
"There's a variety of tunes, so with each character there's a different kind of energy," says Terry. "It's really very energized and every character is quite active throughout the production."
Longtime collaborator with Spelling Bee Director Kathy Brombacher, Terry says that their mutual appreciation of the musical score and what it can add to a production is the key to a successful show.
"It's always been a great collaboration with her and it is the same with this show," says Terry. "She always bring such excitement to her projects."
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the cast is extraordinarily talented, learning their music and honing their understanding of how the score amplifies their individual stories within the first days of rehearsal.
"It's been a quick study with everyone," says Terry. "From the beginning, we were ahead of ourselves. Everyone is so competent musically and theatrically. It's a pleasure to work with people like that."
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" plays through March 15 at the San Marcos Performing Arts Center, 1615 West San Marcos Blvd. Click here for ticket information and audience advisory. "Spelling Bee" runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 4 pm and Sundays at 2 pm.
Silence is "Olden": Annie Hinton Talks Pinter, Pauses and the Power of "Old Times"
"The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember." – Harold Pinter
While Nobel laureate playwright Harold Pinter has always been quick to step away from exposing the deeper meanings of his own plays, his consistently compelling stories has never suffered from lack of interpretation. For director Annie Hinton, this innate – and often disgruntled – need to understand and find meaning in Pinter's work is part of the appeal.
"One of the major tenets of Absurdism is that we cannot communicate," explains Annie, who will be directing Harold Pinter's Old Times on Monday evening, February 23, in the next installment of Intrepid's yearlong Staged Reading Series at the Encinitas Library. "This follows with Pinter's use of silences – in life, we can't really say everything we need to say."
Bringing this three-character story steeped in mystery to life will be a cast of resident Brits: Ron Choularton, Rosina Reynolds and Jillian Frost. According to Annie, capitalizing on the British sensibility already present in the cast is helpful in interpreting Pinter's style.
"So many of the memories in the play are connected to things that the British know. I'm lucky to have all the Brits in San Diego involved," Annie jokes.
The seemingly straightforward story revolves around a couple – Deeley and Kate – who receive a visit from a surprise guest, Anna, a woman who claims to have been close friends with Kate over 20 years ago. While the exact nature of the past is in question, it soon becomes clear that there is a competitive edge to the conversation with regards to memory.
"There is minimal dialogue for you to suss out what is going on," explains Annie. "The scene becomes an interesting triangle of folks using the memories of the past to one up each other. It becomes a battle."
But what is really going on? Theories are endless. Are Kate and Anna different facets of the same person? Are they past and present versions of each other? Are they all really in some sort of hellish afterlife from which there is no escape?
In true Pinter fashion, the answers do not lie in the words, but rather in the subtext – the underlying current beneath the dialogue and woven into the silences. Watch the characters watch each other and you will understand more than the words will ever communicate.
"The pauses and silences are like music," says Annie, explaining that the air of mystery about the events of the story actually keeps the audience connected to the action. She likens the situation to seeing two people arguing in the street. You don't have to know what they are fighting about to be interested.
"The audience gets to be a part of what is going on," says Annie. "They are actively involved."

The "Bee"auties of "Spelling Bee"
Wondering where can you find an insatiable bibliophile, an over-scheduled over-achiever and a pubescent political pundit battling it out for glory? Look no further than the female bench of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."
Sarah Errington , Rae K. Henderson and Amy Perkins break from rehearsals to chat about their characters, the cast, and this quirky Spelling Bee-themed musical which opens February 15 at the San Marcos Performing Arts Center.
"This is one of the most smartly written musicals I've ever seen," says Amy, who will be playing Logainne SchwartzandGrubenniere, the youngest contestant at the Bee, who is also contending with two overprotective fathers, as evidenced in her song "Woe Is Me," an anthem to the intensity of parental pressure.
"The characters in this show are so specific and outrageous and larger than life," says Sarah, admitting that her character, Olive Ostrovsky, is a bit on the quieter side as the Spelling Bee newcomer whose heart wrenching "The I Love You Song" offers a dramatic depth to the pool of catchy and quirky melodies offered in this musical.
"Olive thinks and feels on the inside while most of the spellers wear their heart on their sleeve," says Sarah. "It's fun to play with that dynamic."
Creating these characters is not a simple process, however, and there is consensus that the supportive environment created by the cast and director Kathy Brombacher helps with the exploration.
"You don't feel like you have to hold back," says Amy. "We're in a safe space."
While each actress is excited about putting her own unique stamp on these characters, what this cast is most excited about has nothing to do with learning lines and everything to do with the unknown element of audience participation.
Each night, audience members will be selected to participate as contestants in the Bee, which means they will have front row seats to the action, including their own spelling words. This nightly variable can be daunting for actors to deal with, as it guarantees there will be moments where almost anything can happen.
"I love this interactive and 'different every night' quality of the show, as well as how clever and and hilarious it is," says Rae K. Henderson, who will portraying the multi-talented "I Speak Six Languages" Marcy Park. Marcy is known for her exceptional display of her skills during the show and Rae says that she may or may not be in the process of perfecting a baton twirl.
The actresses all agree that aside from the audience participation, the laughter is what holds the show together – both on and off of the stage.
"It's a silly show and it's supposed to be fun," says Sarah. "We're playing kids. To have that freedom to play these kids who aren't judging themselves and who are just being…it's fun. It's really fun."

From the Trenches: James Winker Resurrects the Great War Poet Wilfred Owen
What candles may be held
to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys,
but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy
glimmers of good-byes.
— Wilfred Owen,
"Anthem for a Doomed Youth" (excerpt)
The Great War was a time in the world's history unlike any other. For the next few years, as we acknowledge the centenary of these unparalleled battles, we feel the the global resonance of wartime, as well as how it can affect our lives in an extraordinarily personal way. Enter the poetry of Wilfred Owen.
Old Globe Associate Artist James Winker, in a special engagement for Intrepid on Monday evening January 19 at the Encinitas Library, offers a solo performance that illuminates the letters and poetry of the famous British World War One writer. James, who developed this piece for the Mark Taper Forum's Literary Cabaret program while pursuing his acting career in Los Angeles, says that the writing of this English soldier is nothing short of astounding.
"For someone that young to have this gift of expression and this kind of passion and intelligence, it's just extraordinary," he says.
Wilfred Owen, deemed one of the 16 Great War poets at Westminster Cathedral in 1985, is now synonymous with the honest, raw and often shocking depictions of wartime that he wrote from the trenches of his service on the Western Front. While much of his writing is represented in letters home to his mother, it is his poetry that has captured the hearts of both wartime historians and the general public. James was eager to draw from both sources to bring this historical figure to life.
"The fact that he could write these letters home to his mother is incredible," says James. "Sometimes they get so bitter and horrific. I don't know if I would have shared them with my family."
While Wilfred Owen had always considered himself a poet, it wasn't until he met friend and mentor Siegfried Sassoon in 1917 while undergoing wartime treatment in Edinburgh for shell-shock that his writing really blossomed and developed to the point where it would have lasting significance. According to The Wilfred Owen Association, "Virtually all the poems for which he is now remembered were written in a creative burst between August 1917 and September 1918."
"That was a turning point for him," explains James. "Before meeting Siegfried, he never had any acknowledgement or encouragement for his poetry."
After a year away from the war for medical leave, Wilfred Owen returned to the Western Front. It was there that he was killed in November of 1918 at the age of 25.
While only four of his poems were published in his lifetime, after his death it was discovered that he left a legacy of over 60 verses that speak to the chaos and the travesties of wartime, leaving significant impressions on post-war posterity.
"His writing is still resonant today," says James. "It has to be. They had never seen a war like this – ever in people's memory."
After debuting the piece in Los Angeles to rave reviews, James was soon invited to perform at several local campuses including UCLA (at the Dickson Art Center), Cal Arts, Cal State Long Beach, Pomona College and the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee. The piece was also produced at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco as a part of the Plays in Progress series. He is looking forward to giving Wilfred Owen another life on Monday evening.
"It's important that his poems are read aloud," says James. "They are meant to be read aloud."

Diversity, Dialogue and Doozies: Introducing the 2015 Staged Reading Series
According to fashion editor icon Diana Vreeland, "There's only one thing in life, and that's the continual renewal of inspiration."
Late last year, with thoughts of inspiration in mind, Intrepid invited four theatrically-inspiring local artists to be members of the 2015 Staged Reading Series Committee. As with the committees who came before them, their task was to choose the lineup for the new year's monthly series at the Encinitas Library, which kicks off on January 19.
"The Staged Reading Series is a chance for Intrepid to explore new voices, while at the same time circling back to classic plays and groundbreaking writing that should be revisited," says Intrepid Producing Artistic Director Christy Yael-Cox. "This year's committee members have chosen a season that will both inspire and challenge our audiences and we are very excited about that."
Last fall, Intrepid invited four dynamic forces from San Diego's theatre world to be a part of the committee, some of whom have graced the Intrepid stage: Annie Hinton, Antonio "T.J." Johnson, Phil Johnson and Brian Rickel. At the first meeting, each member was asked to suggest plays they felt would be important selections for the yearlong series. From there, they began the arduous process of hashing out the season. The result is a list that is both eclectic and dynamic, as well as incredibly diverse.
"The process that Intrepid uses is unique with the involvement of different theatre artists from diverse viewpoints," says T.J., whose selections include the playwrights Athol Fugard, John Patrick Shanley and Lynn Nottage. "I am excited about having the opportunity and support to be on the producing team of three exciting adventures in storytelling from the stage."
"Since the committee is from such diverse worlds, we tried to be mindful of the range of the work in our programming of the season," says Annie, who is most looking forward to a new play by A. Rey Pamatmat that she contributed to the docket. "Hopefully it will appeal to a variety of people and challenge audience members by bringing up issues new and old to make them think."
"This variety and diversity is a huge component of the existence of the reading series," says Christy, emphasizing that Intrepid's current evolution goals include highlighting underrepresented voices.
Another goal includes cultivating the art of storytelling and solo performance. Phil's lineup includes the one-woman show "Full Gallop" about the life of Diana Vreeland, which will feature Shana Wride, a current Craig Noel nominee for her work in Intrepid's recent summer production of "Much Ado About Nothing."
"This is one of the best one person shows I have ever seen," says Phil, "and certainly the most entertaining. It's a wonderful trip with an amazing mind of one of the most talented and stylish people of the mid century."
To date, Intrepid's Staged Reading Series has employed over 350 actors and directors and welcomed over 2500 audience members. Not only is it now a mainstay in the Encinitas community, the number of series subscriptions increase each year as patrons welcome the opportunity to engage in ongoing dialogue with their local artists.
Each evening begins with a sumptuous wine and appetizer reception that is included with admission, giving patrons a chance to mix and mingle before the reading begins. When the reading concludes, actors and directors also have the opportunity to visit with audience members, engaging in conversations prompted by the plays. These interactions keep subscribers returning to the reading series play after play, year after year.
To Brian, this audience engagement is a crucial part of the reading series.
"Practitioners and audiences love to be a part of the process of creation and this series allows for that," says Brian, whose reading series choices include the LAByrinth Theatre-originated "Our Lady of 121st Street" by Stephen Adly Guirgis, which was originally directed to an Off-Broadway run in 2003 by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.
"I hope audiences get a sense, from this season, of where Intrepid is headed and how hard they work to affect their community," he continues. "It's gonna be a doozy!"

"A Quiet American Gem" Fort Delaware State Park by KiKitC
Fort Delaware State Park Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 29 photos
In 1817, Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island was orignally built for protection of the ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia, but soon became a feared prison for Confederate Soldiers during the Civil War.
Today, Fort Delaware State Park is a fabulous day trip into American History. The amazing pentagonal-shaped stone fort has been restored and houses a museum and living history exhibits...see tips.
The island itself is a bird sanctuary as well, and can be a birdwatcher's dream...
Volunteers at the park, dressed in period garb, reenact life at the fort in 1864. Each "character" is based on a real person who was housed or prisoned here. Artillery and 19th century lifestyle demonstrations are conducted throughout the day. Vistors can walk through the fort, including the officers quarters, mess hall, kitchens and cannon turrets.
Don't go away...there's MORE!

Jason Reitman "Up in the Air" starring George Clooney and Vera Farmiga will close teh 2009 Woodstock Film Festival, organizers announced Tuesday. The Oscar-nominated director of "Juno"'s latest is the story of Ryan Bingham (Clooney) a corporate downsizer and consummate modern business traveler who, after years of staying happily airborne, suddenly finds himself ready to make a real connection.
When he falls for a simpatico fellow traveler (Farmiga), Ryan's boss (Jason Bateman), inspired by a young, upstart efficiency expert (Anna Kendrick), threatens to permanently call him in from the road. Faced with the prospect, at once terrifying and exhilarating, of being grounded, Ryan begins to contemplate what it might actually mean to have a home.
"We are thrilled to close this year's festival with the newest work by one of today's sharpest directors," stated Woodstock Film Festival co-founder/executive director Meira Baustein in a statement. "By exploring the lives of the people affected by socially relevant issues, Reitman's films uncover the unexpected human aspect so easily overlooked. 'Up in the Air''s beauty comes from that human perspective."
Reitman's screenplay for "Up in the Air" and co-written by Sheldon Turner, is based on the novel by Walter Kirn. The 10th Anniversary Woodstock Film Festival kicks off Wednesday Sept. 30 through Sunday October 4. with nearly 150 premieres panels, concerts and special events are featured including 51 premieres.

Feeling 'Heaven's Rain'
What is rain from heaven? It is the mercy that falls on "the just and the unjust" — blessing the one who gives it and the one who receives it, said Brooks Douglass, a former state senator turned filmmaker. Douglass, 46, is bringing his personal tale of tragedy and the triumph of forgiveness to the big screen in his movie, "Heaven's Rain." Now living in Los Angeles, he is in Oklahoma to film the faith-themed movie about the murder of his parents and his subsequent forgiveness of their killer. Douglass' parents, the Rev. Richard Douglass, who was pastor of Putnam City Baptist Church, and his wife, Marilyn, were shot to death at their Okarche home in 1979. Brooks Douglass, who was 16, and his sister Leslie, who was 12, survived also being shot and went on to testify at the murder trials of the two men who were charged with their parents' deaths. Douglass hired an actor to portray himself at 16, and Douglass is portraying his preacher father. He said many film companies have wanted to bring the story to life, but he didn't feel comfortable with their treatment of the tale for various reasons. For some, financial backing was shaky or other concerns cropped up. Douglass said he took a screenwriting class in Los Angeles, taught by director Paul Brown, who convinced him that they needed to find some way to bring the story to movie theaters. He said he decided to finance it himself and found other investors who also cared about the story and wanted to help him share it with others. With all of the pieces of the filmmaking puzzle falling into place, Douglass and his film crew began filming "Heaven's Rain." Then reality set in: He'd have to re-create the scene of his parents' murders — that awful night that has haunted him for years.
We talked about who did we trust to make this story, who had the heart for it that we do? One day it dawned on me that we could do it ourselves."
Brooks Douglass,
who tells the story of his parents' murders in the movie "Heaven's Rain."
From memory to movieDouglass said he initially told Brown he didn't think he could write a screenplay chronicling the tragic night. "It was too close. It was too emotional," he said. But Brown persisted, and Douglass said after he started writing a few scenes, something amazing happened. "I found it to be very cathartic," he said. He said he asked Brown to help him put structure to the story. When the decision came to put it in the hands of someone who could make the movie, Douglass and Brown were hesitant. "We talked about who did we trust to make this story, who had the heart for it that we do? One day it dawned on me that we could do it ourselves," Douglass said. So filming on "Heaven's Rain" began in February in Oklahoma, and Douglass plucked from his memory some of his happier childhood moments with his parents and traveling to places such as Brazil, where they worked to share the Gospel with native peoples. He said portraying his father has been an honor because it is another chance to convey all the positive lessons he learned from the older man. "I thought, 'Wow! I get to show him to the world,'" Douglass said. Then came the day when Brown planned to film the October 1979 night the Douglasses were killed. Douglass said his heart was heavy when he woke up on the scheduled day, and his sister, who he was visiting in her metro-area home, also was in a somber mood. Douglass said filming the scene was as difficult as he thought it would be. "We shot that scene two weeks ago, and it was unbelievably emotional and hard, but we got through it," he said. He said he felt supported through the filming because he was surrounded by family and many of the film crew and actors who care about him. "It's not just a job to them. They care about the story," he said.
Power of forgivenessDouglass said he hopes another scene in the movie will convey the power of forgiveness. Douglass said the scene will show his 1994 meeting at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary with Glen Burton Ake, the man who shot his parents. Ake and Steven Hatch were convicted of the murders and sentenced to death. Hatch was executed in August 1996, but Ake, the triggerman, got a new trial and was given life sentences. Douglass said he asked to visit with Ake while touring the penitentiary in McAlester as a state senator. The request was denied, but soon prison officials agreed to let the two men meet, if Ake was agreeable. After Ake indicated a willingness to meet, Douglass found himself face to face with the man who killed his parents. "Other than the shootings themselves, it continues to be the most dramatic event in my life," he said. "It wasn't something I was expecting to happen." He said when Ake told him that he was sorry for killing his parents, he initially told the man that he could not forgive him. An hour and a half later, Douglass' heart had changed. "I told him I forgave him," Douglass said. "It was like having an out-of-body experience. These words were coming out of my mouth. It was a life-changing moment."
Sharing a messageFrom that life-altering experience comes the title of Douglass' movie. He said heaven's rain is mercy. The title came from Brown's citing of a passage in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice": "The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." Douglass said with his knowledge of the Bible, he knew the essence of the passage is rooted in the words of Jesus and therefore a fitting premise for his film: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:44-45). As he oversees filming of "Heaven's Rain," Douglass said he can't help but hope his story conveys his message of faith. "Hopefully, it's a story that will touch people," he said. "It's a story about love. It's a story about forgiveness. The biggest thing I hope is that it can show people a way to forgive."

Hall of Fame coach Jack Ramsay dies at 89
MIAMI (AP) — Jack Ramsay served his country in World War II, coached Portland to the NBA title, was enshrined in the basketball Hall of Fame and became one of the game's most respected and revered broadcasters.
His life was, by any measure, complete.
"Our father led the greatest life that one could lead," the Ramsay family said in a statement released Monday, hours after the man that just about everyone in basketball called "Dr. Jack" died in Naples, Fla., at the age of 89.
No cause of death was announced, but Ramsay had fought several forms of cancer for many years and more recently was diagnosed with a marrow syndrome. Ramsay ended his broadcasting career with ESPN last year because of health problems and word came last week that he had been placed into hospice care.
"From his coaching tenure to his broadcast work, Dr. Jack left an indelible mark on every facet of our game and on every person he came in contact with, including me," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said.
Added Miami Heat president Pat Riley, who was close to Ramsay for many years: "This is a very sad day for basketball, not just professional basketball, but the entire basketball world. The game has lost a giant."
Ramsay coached in the NBA for parts of 21 seasons before embarking on a second career as an NBA analyst, eventually working for ESPN. He was diagnosed with melanoma in 2004 and later battled growths and tumors that spread to his legs, lungs and brain, as well as prostate cancer.
Through it all, his affinity for fitness never wavered.
Ramsay, who competed in at least 20 triathlons during his life, worked out regularly into his 80s, even as he battled the various forms of cancer. He often spoke of his love of swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Even in his final year as a broadcaster, it wasn't uncommon for friends to marvel at how well he was moving about.
"Jack was a great man," Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird said, "and I don't use that term lightly."
Ramsay also spent several years late in his life caring for his wife, Jean, who was diagnosed in 2001 with Alzheimer's disease. She died in 2010.
"He was that rarest of men with a unique style that was inspirational and motivational about basketball and life itself," said Paul Allen, who owns the Trail Blazers.
Ramsay enjoyed enormous popularity within the league. To commemorate his 89th birthday this year, Portland coach Terry Stotts wore a loud checkered jacket and open-collared shirt for a Blazers game — a nod to Ramsay's style of dress when he coached the club.
"Jack's life is a beacon which guides us all," Bill Walton, who was on Ramsay's 1977 title team in Portland, told USA Today in 2007. "He is our moral compass, our spiritual inspiration. He represents the conquest of substance over hype. He is a true saint of circumstance."
John T. Ramsay was born Feb. 21, 1925, in Philadelphia and enrolled at Saint Joseph's in 1942, eventually becoming captain of the basketball team for his senior season. He earned a doctorate in education from the University of Pennsylvania in 1949, which explains the "Dr. Jack" moniker.
Ramsay's began coaching Saint Joseph's in 1955. He was wildly successful there, going 234-72 and taking the Hawks to the NCAA tournament seven times and the Final Four in 1961.
"Great man," Orlando Magic guard Jameer Nelson, who played at Saint Joseph's a generation after Ramsay departed, wrote on Twitter. "The Greatest Hawk ever."
To Ramsay, the most significant part of the Saint Joseph's years was this: "I met my wife there," he said.

Celebrity and sophistication and glitz and gossip isn't usually what comes to mind when one thinks of flowers, but Glamour Flower seems to think they make comfortable bed fellows. (Or, more accurately, bed fillies.) Shooting a bevy of Europe's most appealing women but first dressing them in seductive lingerie and skin-tight hosiery that only increases their attraction, Glamour Flower is, like so many other sites on the 'net, focused on women looking pretty. What's so exceptional about that?
There's rarely anything genuinely new and original in pornography and erotica, but NuErotica's name makes a bold claim for the new guard. Inside the site, however, it's not as rosy as you might have thought with updates slacking, videos looking drab, and content that, quite frankly, could've come from anywhere. More of a "hot women on the Internet whose sexiest images we've gathered in one place" site than an original erotic endeavor, NuErotica certainly isn't new. It is, however, pretty damn erotic when it needs to be.
Interactive DVDs, choose-your-own-adventure sites, and masturbation sleeves molded on pornstar pussies all tried to give you, the porn fan, exactly what you want: mastery of your sexual impulses and the acts and women that satisfy them. DollHouse Films might have a title that suggests it's your own personal porno playground, but in fact it's a darkly seductive semi-hardcore site that sees gorgeous babes of the adult world donning heavy black eye makeup, clamping and chaining their nipples together, and staring into the darkest recesses of your sexual imagination. What a delight!
Dreaming of the natural splendor of rural Central Europe; the lush green pastures and crisp cascading spring water beneath your naked toes? Dreaming of falling into the long grass with an unclothed woman of incredibly natural beauty and spending hours exploring each other's bodies? Erotic Dreams 4 You is the reality-based solution to your fantastical problem, friend. Well, it is if you don't mind a few niggling setbacks like a lack of new updates.
Porn and technology have always made wonderful bedfellows, each aiding and abetting the other's rise to power and prominence until they're so intertwined we can barely tell where one ends and the other begins. Sex Boss POV is evidence of porn's tight connection to technology: a site built from the ground up to be viewed on tablets and smartphones, with solo hardcore videos seeing porn's brightest newcomers fill every pixel of the vertical frame they've been allowed to play around in. Pleasuring themselves and telling you all the various ways they want you to join in, the ladies of Sex Boss POV have never been seen like this before.
Back in the late-60s, Rupert Murdoch was just hitting his stride as one of the world's most powerful media tycoons when he bought British newspaper The Sun. Relaunching it as tabloid and throwing a barely-clothed model on the third page. Editor Larry Lamb celebrated The Sun's first anniversary with a page three girl in her birthday suit. A classic of British erotica was born that day and Page 3 Classics continues this work to this day with an online archive of the best and boldest sexy, topless, and nude models of our recently published past that's as titillating as it was when first seen in black-and-white all those years ago.
Mr. Andrew Blake, erotic artist, pornographer, acclaimed photographer for Playboy during its 80s and 90s heyday, now has his very own domain to fill with the choicest cuts from his extensive catalog of sexually charged A/V work. Offering 720p HD videos and high-res images from throughout Blake's career, his official online home welcomes fans both of softcore and hardcore, glamour porn and rough amateurish fucking, the hottest pornstars of yesterday and today, and all the visual and sexual creativity you can handle, only from Andrew Blake.
If you had a free pass to indulge any sexual fantasy you wanted with any woman of your choosing, you might want to scope out Fantasy Girl Pass for some ideas before leaping on your foxy (but surprisingly bland) neighbor. Fantasy Girl Pass is home to more than 15 stellar pornstars. From Catalina Cruz to, uh, Cassandra Cruz (by way of Jessica Jaymes, Sasha Grey, Trina Michaels, Puma Swede and others), there's so much top-notch adult talent here who'll be featuring in your fantasies for quite some time if only you'd let them in and get acquainted.

- Air conditioning
- Car hire: essential

Two bedroom split level house with two bathrooms and a brand new kitchen with stunning views of Mijas Golf Course. Situated in a small family friendly community. Wi-Fi and UK TV included.
The house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, with a living room and brand new kitchen on the ground floor. There is a double bed in the main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has two single beds. The living room has two three seater settees. There is also a fold up single bed which can be used in the main bedroom. Wi-Fi is provided included in the price.
The private patio is accessed from the living room and provides fabulous views of the golf course and mountains. The patio has modern furniture with a glass top table and four chairs, Weber barbecue, sun loungers and side table.
You can see a video tour of the house on You Tube just search for "Valle Verde 12" or use the link below:
The property is an ideal place for a family holiday. The house is situated on a small community of about 40 similar properties. They are mainly holiday homes with a small number of local residents. The people who stay at the houses tend to be holiday makers. The community is fairly quiet and not near any built up areas, situated about 2 miles inland from Fuengirola.
You will need a car if you decide to rent the house. The supermarket is a five minute drive, although there is a small corner shop 100 yards from the house which sells essentials like milk and bread. The beach at Fuengirola is less than 10 mins away, but a much better beach at La Cala is only five minutes extra drive. La Cala is a low rise town/village and the beach is often popular with Spanish residents because it's slightly away from the main tourist beaches.
The house has air conditioning, 42" LED Panasonic smart TV, internet TV box that provides BBC, ITV and all UK terrestrial channels, Sky Sports & Sky movies are also included, Blu-Ray/DVD player, washing machine, dish washer and all the usual benefits of a family home. This includes crockery, cutlery, iron, bed linen and towels.
You can get access to the two pools on the community. The pool is for all residents and the pool rules, which are sign posted, should be observed. The pool is behind a locked gate and the keys for this and pool toilets are in the house.
The house is not near to any "night life" and is not within walking distance for a night out in Fuengirola. There are five Restuarants within walking distance, my favourite being El Golf, which has good food and a nice view of the golf course, if you sit outside. Hotel Tamisa Golf also has an upmarket restaurant with stunning views. There are also two other much cheaper but very friendly restaurants - La Morena and the 19th Hole. They are all very family friendly.

Wealth management: We often say, Lets get to the root of a problem and fix it in totality. The same applies to our investments and financial planning in general. We all want to own the best products in our portfolio but as it turns out, the reality is actually far from it. While I know we cannot control everything, one thing we can control is how we build our advisor portfolio. Let us understand that no ne person or entity has all the skills in the world to help us navigate through the complex maze of finance, accounting and legal affairs.
Just like our investments, we must also diversify our advisor risk. Who is advising us? Who is managing what for us? How can we ensure that all is well with us and our affairs? These are questions to consider. Lets start counting. Who are the people and entities we require? Here are some broad suggestions.
Bank & Relationship manager: It is good to have two banks to deal with. One bank account could be used for financial planning, while the other could be for general expenses or other matters.
Chartered Accountant: We cannot have two here but if you are running a private limited company you could have one for your company accounts and one for your personal accounts. For self employed and partnerships, you obviously need just one CA.
Financial Planner: You just need this person. He is your familys financial doctor and capable of giving you a holistic view. He cannot be replaced but you must speak to a handful of planners to understand each ones way, style and methodology of work and, most importantly, how comfortable you might be with his/her approach. Remember this is going to be your most important and lifelong relationship. Take you time to sign up with one, but be certain that you are satisfied with the person. There are a few things that can be taken for granted here: It is most likely that you will not be mis-sold anything, relationship will be lifelong, advise will be in your interest and there will be transparency. It might be even better if the person is not attached to any one company like an insurance agent. This, however, may not be evident so better check this before signing up.
Life Insurance Agent: We need to shop really hard here as we could be misled so easily. This happens almost like routine. They know a lot about insurance, many of them will be experts and while that is an advantage, it is also an inherent disadvantage as insurance is all that they know. You could land up paying a huge amount of premium and have little benefit from the policy itself. A simpler way is that you could have a financial planner who is unbiased and you could then use your chosen life insurance agent to do your product purchases. This is tricky as most financial planner would be agents as well, so check before you take the plunge. An unbiased planner is hard to find.
Non-Life Insurance Agent: Here we need someone who we can trust, who will be there when we need him desperately in times of making a claim, or to remind us of renewals. The person needs to be really efficient. If your agent does not fulfill the above criteria, it is time you think of a change.
Mutual fund agent: There are three categories of people you will find here. One, who knows nothing and are simply product distributors. Buy at your own risk as there is no accountability for his advice. Second, they may be as large as a firm but I suggest that you simply avoid this category. The next is a person, who knows a bit about funds, investments, investment objectives. You could deal with this person by doing a bit of research. The third category is that person who understands risk management, asset allocation, portfolio volatility, who can create a strategy for you with a fusion of your financial goals, time horizon and asset allocation. He is you best bet.
Portfolio Manager or Fund Manager: In this area, most people will sound knowledgeable and that is because they all have the fundamental skills and knowledge of investment management. Per se, their knowledge is good but the slippery ground here is the philosophy of the company they work for. Building wealth is really very easy and is not as complex as it may be portrayed. Avoid philosophies where the focus is on a single aspect of portfolio management such as momentum or aggression or the ones that use complex jargon. Complex ideologies and techniques usually imply more churning, more expenses, more brokerage costs and all this reduce your return significantly. Do business with someone whose method you understand completely and dont get carried away by his historical performance. Enrol him for his vision and not solely on his past numbers.
Lawyer: A good way would be to check with any of the above you are friendly with and who you can trust. Dont shop here but go by recommendations from people you trust. This is a once-in-a-lifetime exercise but well worth it. Good luck on building your advisor portfolio.

I have nothing against android. It's an sold OS. But for those that already have iPhone but are also sony fans would love the opportunity to have the smart watch for the iPhone. At least able to read messages an notifications. If anyone has an answer to this please let me know. There has to be someone out there as interested as me about this. The firmware is able to be hacked so the chances should be high right?

There is at present and has been for the past few months an active epidemic of poliomyelitis in New York City which for richness of clinical variation of multiplicity of development has not been seen for many years. In fact, New York City has not had a severe epidemic of this disease and it is only occasionally that any opportunity has been offered the neurologists and pediatrists of the city to observe the beginning symptoms of this comparatively rare disease.
Coming immediately on the top, as it were, of the epidemic of cerebrospinal meningitis with which New York was afflicted last year, certain factors of etiology and relationship have been prominent in the minds of clinicians which have stimulated research in different lines. So far as the etiology of the present epidemic is concerned, nothing has been revealed, unless the negative evidence be regarded in the light of discovery. A
