CCM/The Carnegie’s PARADE Earns Four LCT Nominations

TC_ParadePanelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized The University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music and The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center’s PARADE with 4 LCT nominations, for Ensemble Acting, Music Direction (Steve Goers), Featured Actor (Noah Ricketts) and Lighting Design (Alan Hanson/Wes Richter), as well as distinguishing it as a recommended production.

In the sweltering intolerance of 1913 Atlanta, northerner and Jewish factory manager Leo Frank is wrongfully accused of murdering of a 13-year-old girl under his employment. As press frenzy and public outrage whip his trial into a referendum, Frank’s only hope lies in a brave crusade by the southern wife he never understood, among a people that never understood him. The 2000 Tony Award winner for “Best Book” and “Best Score”, Parade is a transformational story of a country at odds with its declarations of equality.

Panelists praised the ensemble, who “covered a variety of roles while always maintaining the atmosphere of the performance…their execution and full sound of the music carried the show from beginning to end.” Of Steve Goer’s music direction, the panelists noted, “the highlight of this show is Jason Robert Brown’s layered, beautiful, and complicated music, and Steve Goers did an excellent job of directing the entire cast to execute the challenging score very well…the dense harmonies were blended beautifully.” Featured actor Noah Ricketts, as Jim Conley, was “the whole explosive package…he commanded the stage.” Of Hanson and Richter’s lighting design, the panelists reported, “Both designers created a world that supported the story being told. …good use of color and atmosphere.” The production as a whole was “powerful” and “superb”; “an emotionally engaging, musically complex production that was staged and performed with great heart and talent.”

PARADE continues through April 21st. Tickets can be purchased at www.thecarnegie.com.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement. More information about the League can be found at www.leagueofcincytheatres.com.

TC Launches New Brand Identity

TC_logo_new
THE CARNEGIE LAUNCHES NEW BRAND IDENTITY
New Look Unifies Carnegie’s Three Divisions

COVINGTON, KY Feb. 7, 2013 — The Carnegie today announced a new visual identity and brand — the culmination of a year-long rebranding initiative in partnership with Interbrand, a global leader in brand consulting.

Interbrand selected The Carnegie to receive pro bono brand strategy and identity services with the goal of unifying The Carnegie’s three divisions (galleries, theatre, education) and refreshing the identity of the center.

“The new brand is amazing and Interbrand treated us as if we were a paying client,” said Katie Brass, The Carnegie’s Executive Director. “I felt like they fell in love with The Carnegie, and it showed in the work they did for us.”

The new brand position statement: “A place that transcends time and transforms the mind,” captures the magical aspects of The Carnegie. It also reflects the center’s ability to encourage patrons to play, connect and discover art in all its forms. The bright Carnegie identity features colors to represent The Carnegie Gallery, Theatre and Education areas while weaving those colors together to form the logo.

“We wanted a new, vibrant identity that reflects the three areas of The Carnegie in a fresh, cohesive way,” said Ron Bates, President of The Carnegie Board of Directors. “We’re hoping the new branding will encourage those who know us for one area will come explore The Carnegie with a new perspective.”

Interbrand led key Carnegie stakeholders through an extensive process to develop the new brand position statement, which helped drive the new graphic identity.

“We quickly discovered what makes The Carnegie special and developed a brand that reflects that,” said Scott Lucas, Executive Director of Interbrand’s Cincinnati office. “Those who are connected with The Carnegie know it’s a place that’s inclusive, where you can experience art with a sense of optimism and curiosity.”

The process helped validate and reaffirm what The Carnegie stands for: art should be accessible to everyone, and The Carnegie helps build the community through the arts. The new branding also reflects the values held by Carnegie patrons: The Carnegie is a good cause to support and offers an unforgettable experience.

“There is a lot of history and hard work that has gone into making The Carnegie what it is today,” said Brass. “But Interbrand really respected that history and used it to build the platform for our new brand and identity.”

The logo will be unveiled at a celebration for friends of The Carnegie this evening and appear on printed pieces, letterhead and The Carnegie’s digital marquee immediately. Existing building signage will begin to reflect the new identity in the coming months, Brass said.
