SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD Runs July 18-19

BCT_Songs for a New WorldSONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
July 18-19
Beavercreek

Directed by Doug Lloyd
Music directed by David McKibben

Cast: Sam Downs, Sean Hurley, Ray Zupp, Danielle Kubasky, Kelli Locker, Megan Rehberg, Pam Mcginnis, Victoria Tuccillo, Lindsay Sherman & Kaela Smith

This abstract musical review is a series of songs all connected by a theme: “the moment of decision.” The show employs performers who do not literally play the same characters throughout the show but who do have consistently developing character arcs. Composer Jason Robert Brown has said of his show, “It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.” Performed in cabaret setting with refreshments available, this EDGY fundraiser will surely be a crowd pleaser. Benefits BCT. Beer, wine, soft drinks and hor d’ouvres will be offered at this cabaret style performance.

Discover DaVinci and Michelangelo: Side By Side | Fri., Oct. 10 | Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater‏

CAA_DaVinci and MichelangeloARONOFF CENTER WELCOMES
DISCOVER DAVINCI AND MICHELANGELO: SIDE BY SIDE
PERFORMANCE EVENT

Cincinnati, OH – The original theater performance Discover DaVinci & Michelangelo: Side by Side will continue its inaugural North American Tour at the Aronoff Center’s intimate Jarson-Kaplan Theater on Friday, October 10, 2014 at 7:30 PM.

Ticket prices range between $40-$28 and are on sale Friday, June 27 at 10:00 AM at http://www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office, located at 650 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. The performance runs approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including one intermission.

Mark Rodgers, the creator and host of the multi-media performance, is also the curator of the DaVinci Machines and Michelangelo Exhibitions from the permanent Museum of Leonardo DaVinci in Florence, Italy, currently touring the United States and on display at the Bradenton Auditorium in Bradenton/Sarasota, FL. Rodgers originally developed the idea to compare and contrast the two geniuses while curating the DaVinci and Michelangelo Exhibition in Denver, CO.

“I realized you can’t talk about DaVinci without Michelangelo,” explained Rodgers. “Many people don’t know that they were not only contemporaries but also fierce competitors.”

The performance has evolved over the last couple of years, starting as a tour of only DaVinci. Then, over time, Rodgers incorporated Michelangelo into his tours when the Michelangelo Exhibition arrived from Florence. According to Rodgers, the more tours and presentations he gave, the more information people wanted to know about these two monumental geniuses.

“There has never been an exhibit or museum, of which I am aware, that has ever compared or contrasted DaVinci and Michelangelo in the same presentation,” explained Rodgers.

The multi-media event is a combination of host Rodgers and a presentation that includes movies, 3D-animations of machines and inventions, images of codices, artwork, paintings, and sculptures.

This original theater performance made its major theater debut at world-famous Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota, FL in April 2014.

“DaVinci and Michelangelo have an outreach and following that everyone can relate to,” explained Rodgers. “Everything they said and did relates to our lives today.”

About Discover DaVinci and Michelangelo: Side by Side
The “tour de force” performance Discover DaVinci & Michelangelo: Side by Side makes its Cincinnati debut at the Aronoff Center’s intimate Jarson-Kaplan Theater on October 10, 2014. Mark Rodgers, Curator of the DaVinci Machines and Michelangelo Exhibitions from the permanent Museum of Leonardo DaVinci in Florence, Italy, will take you on an awe-inspiring journey through the Italian Renaissance as seen through the eyes of these two monumental geniuses. This non-stop, multi-media, original theater performance features movies, videos, 3-D animations, and images of DaVinci and Michelangelo’s inventions, machines, sketches, codices, paintings, and sculptures. Rodgers compares and contrasts the incredible lives of Leonardo and Michelangelo as never before seen, while relating them to our world today. The challenge proposed is to draw inspiration from these two men and for everyone to discover their own “inner” DaVinci and Michelangelo. (Running Time: 2 Hours and 20 Minutes with one intermission.)
