The new New Deal
by Bob Abelman 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

The new New Deal: Government relief offers lifeline to performing arts community Bob Abelman CJN/Columnist Between 1933 and 1943, during the depths of the Great Depression and into the early years of World War II, federal tax dollars employed artists and craft workers of various media and with varying levels of experience, and kept them from poverty and despair. In addition to providing relief, the New Deal’s Federal Art Project and other government-sponsored art programs promoted American art and culture by giving more Americans access to what President Franklin D. Roosevelt decorously labeled “an abundant life.” It enabled Americans all across the country to see an original painting for the first time, attend their first professional live theater or dance production, or take their first music or drawing class. An enormous volume of public art intended for education and civic engagement – including 2,500 murals and 18,000 sculptures – was created without restriction to content or subject matter and put on display. “Artists have been given something more precious than their daily bread,” said social critic Lewis Mumford at the time. “(They have received) the knowledge that their work has a destination in the community.” The public art of the New Deal reflected a vast array of traditions and cultures that served not only to celebrate the nation’s diversity but to reflect and build a common, collective national identity through art. Never before or since has our government so extensively supported and sponsored the arts. Until now.

Strongsville High School presents The Little Mermaid Jr.
by Jeremy Jenkins 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

THE LITTLE MERMAID WILL BECOME A “PART OF YOUR WORLD”! Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. will be streaming via ShowTix4U on Friday April 23<x-apple-data-detectors://0> and Saturday April 24 at 7pm<x-apple-data-detectors://1>. It is based on the 2008 Broadway production and the 1989 animated feature film. The cast contains 35+ SHS students along with 10+ students working backstage. This classic Disney title contains all of the songs from the Academy Award® winning animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. takes place in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, the king of the sea, escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she’s the girl with the perfect voice. Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. is a scheduled content property meaning it had to be pre-recorded and edited for a specific, timed viewing. Students worked tirelessly for two months to bring this together. Rehearsals and filming were scheduled based on the seven set locations, so students got a sneak peek at what it is like to film a movie. Students also recorded their vocals individually and each voice was layered for each track, similar to a true album recording. After recording, the final product will be edited together. * You may purchase tickets by visiting https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49257 * Streaming tickets are $15 + a processing fee. * You must purchase tickets ahead of tim and sign in by 7pm<x-apple-data-detectors://4> on the assigned date to view the stream. There is no open window for viewing. * Each ticket purchase is per device (i.e. you can only view on one device). If you have any questions, please contact Jeremy Jenkins (jjenkins(a)scsmustangs.org<mailto:jjenkins@scsmustangs.org>). Sent from my iPhone
