SUMMARY:Network
DESCRIPTION:Nearly a half-century after Paddy Chayefsky’s chillingly prescient\, Oscar-winning black comedy Network became a cinematic classic\, Lee Hall’s potent and provocative new stage adaptation remains as relevant as ever as we grapple with truth\, authenticity\, and the search for meaning in a digital age. \n  \nVeteran news anchor Howard Beale isn’t pulling in the viewers. But when his on-air meltdown sparks a revolution\, Howard suddenly becomes the biggest thing on TV – a ”mad prophet of the airwaves” determined to speak truth to power\, but buffeted by industrial\, political and economic forces with ultimately dire consequences. \n  \nHall’s adaptation “takes on fresh fury in a sizzling stage production…that feels less satiric but more urgent” (Variety) in today’s polarized and media-saturated landscape. Fittingly\, this production is helmed by Ashley Kelly Tata\, a noted multimedia director whose immersive works have been called “fervently inventive\,” by the New York Times. Like the award-winning West End and Broadway productions\, The Umbrella’s production will employ thoroughly integrated multimedia storytelling elements evocative of the film’s masterful use of television ads and industrial sets\, courtesy of innovative NYC-based designer Afsoon Pajoufar. \n  \n“Network remains one of the most remarkable\, if not eerily prescient films of all time\,” says Producing Artistic Director Brian Boruta. “That something written almost 50 years ago could speak so singularly to our present moment is astonishing. It’s a thrill to bring this landmark play to The Umbrella’s stage.” \n  \nThe cast features some of Boston’s biggest names like Barlow Adamson\, Amy Barker\, Steve Barkhimer\, Will McGarrahan\, and Bill Mootos as Howard Beale. \n  \nRunning Sept. 20-Nov. 3 (press opening Friday Sept. 27\, 7:30PM)\, the play will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of Now. Here. This\, a new musical from the team that brought you [title of show]\, that tackles life’s big questions with inimitable humor and humanity. \n  \nSelect performances will feature additional engagement opportunities for audience members: \n\n Dinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances \n Talk Backs are scheduled following performances on Oct. 13 and Oct. 24 \n Childcare with art activities for youth ages 5-12 is available through The Umbrella’s Kid Care program for parents interested in attending the Oct. 13 matinee\n\nDiscounts for students\, seniors\, groups\, Card-to-Culture eligible attendees \nGroup Discounts: Groups of 10 – 14 save 10%; groups of 15 and up save 15%. \nEBT\, WIC\, ConnectorCare Card-to-Culture discounts available.The Umbrella is ADA accessible\, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program\, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries.

SUMMARY:Now. Here. This.
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Stage Company is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of “Now. Here. This.” – a musical jaunt that explores humor\, heart\, and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of cosmic adventures\, four friends share stories about identity\, laughter\, living\, and middle school\, all while attempting to step directly into the elusive “present moment.” \n  \nHailed by The New York Times as “a blend of good humor and good feeling with an audience-embracing brio that never flags” this new show comes from the creative minds behind “[title of show]”.  \n  \nMore than just a musical\, it’s a celebration of life\, love\, connection\, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. \n  \nRunning Oct. 4-Nov. 10 (press opening Thursday Oct. 10\, 7:30PM)\, the show will run in rotation with The Umbrella’s production of Network\, the hard-hitting satire based on the classic film. \n  \nSelect performances will feature additional engagement opportunities for audience members: \n  \n\nDinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances\nTalk Back scheduled following performance on Nov. 7\nChildcare with art activities for youth ages 5-12 is available through The Umbrella’s Kid Care program for parents interested in attending the Oct. 27 matinee \n\n  \nThe Umbrella is ADA accessible\, a proud partner in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s EBT Card-to-Culture program\, and provides free parking and free admission to its visual arts galleries.

SUMMARY:Pianist Jake Kinney performs Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue
DESCRIPTION:The Concord Band opens its 2024–25 season with a concert on Saturday\, October 26\, 7:00 pm at the 51 Walden Performing Arts Center. Music Director James O’Dell chose the theme “100th Anniversaries” in recognition of Geoge Gershwin’s composition and premiere of Rhapsody in Blue in 1924\, a year that marks many musical milestones. \nThe program commemorates the passing of composer Giacomo Puccini\, the most successful proponent of Italian opera after Verdi\, and Gabriel Fauré\, one of the foremost French composers of his generation. The program also features Camille Saint-Saëns’ Pas Redouble\, arranged for band by Arthur Frackenpohl\, as well as Academy Award winning themes by Henry Mancini\, considered one of the greatest composers in the history of film\, in an arrangement by Warren Barker. Both Frackenpohl and Mancini were born in 1924. \nGershwin composed Rhapsody in Blue in a few short weeks for a concert by Paul Whiteman’s Palais Royal Orchestra\, titled “An Experiment in Modern Music\,” presented at Aeolean Hall in New York City in February of 1924. Whiteman’s intent was to show that American jazz could be combined with classical and other types of music. The original score by Ferde Grofe comprised 23 instruments and piano solo. Subsequently\, Thomas Verrier expanded the original setting to concert band instrumentation based on Grofe’s manuscripts. \nPianist Jake Kinney is the featured soloist on Rhapsody in Blue. Kinney is a versatile musician\, performing with the Concord Band on trumpet\, with the Jazz Ensemble on piano\, as well as leading the Holiday Pops sing-along on vocals. \nAdmission to the Concord Band’s Fall Concert is free\, with a requested donation of $20 per person. A reception will follow the concert.
