Tour of Theaters in New Haven, CT
Theater in New Haven – one of the areas we serve when it comes to buying or selling a home.
A vacant stage, lighted only by a single bulb and awaiting the actors who will enthrall and entertain, the empty seats soon to be filled by audiences who will lose themselves in the drama and merriment which will follow. Such is the anticipation that is live, professional theater, and it is how we have chosen to depict three gems of New Haven:
The Yale Repertory Theatre, Long Wharf Theatre and The Shubert Theater. Picture yourself there, peruse the performance schedules and visit all three. We’re lucky to have them. And now, house lights low. Curtain up. We’re about to begin.

Victorian Chick at New Haven Hotel pre-Yale Rep Dear Eliza
During my December trip to NYC , where I spend about three months a year, I went to New Haven. I love New Haven and after my first play at the Yale Rep since college, I had much fun at Barcelona--a great tapas restaurant-- and the Russian Lady with sweet kids from Hartford.
They graciously invited me--an old broad who at 40 could have been their mother had I been a teen mother--to go dancing at this nightclub which replaced The Playwright. And in spite of the blisters incurred while dancing in Michael Kors boots from Deja Vu, a consignment store in Toms River in which I will only take cabs (or drive to dinner in Los Angeles at restaurants with valet parking) due to agonizing discomfort, I had a blast.
My Yale years were not without trauma but I love Yale with all my heart and New Haven occupies a special place in my heart. This video was taken at the hotel after a late train from the city in early December
August Wilson
ST PAUL HISTORY,
August Wilson once dropped out of school, disillusioned after having been unjustly accused of plagiarism by a racist instructor who could not fathom the artistic and intellectual genius of a then young Black male writer. Wilson was not disillusioned forever. Having now completed a decade by decade cycle of seven plays that illustrate the complexity, problems, and beauty of Black American life, Wilson sits at the pinnacle of American playwrights who have achieved world-renown. He first became involved in theatre in the late 1960s when he co-founded the Black Horizons Theater which was a community theatre located in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. His first professional production was Black Bart and the Sacred Hills which was based on an earlier series of poems. Black Bart... was produced at St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre in 1981. Wilson's breakthrough occurred when Lloyd Richards--then Dean and Artistic Director of the Yale Repertory Theatre--brought Wilson to the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference and premiered his plays at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Richards, the only Black American at Yale to have a Department Chair named for him, was a major influence on and expert collaborator with Wilson, who used Yale as a workshop for developing many of his productions. To date, his plays have been staged on Broadway and at regional theatres across the United States. He has won Pulitzer Prizes for Fences (1987) and The Piano Lesson (1990) and New York Drama Critics Circle Awards for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Fences, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, The Piano Lesson, Two Trains Running, and Seven Guitars. His most recent works include Jitney and King Hedley II. He has been honored with Rockefeller and Guggenheim Fellowships in Playwrighting; is an Alumnus of New Dramatists and a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, further demonstrating an artistic, intellectual, and literary profundity that has assured him a permanent and prominent place in the history of American Theatre.

Yale University
Yale University was founded in 1701 as the Collegiate School in the home of Abraham Pierson, its first rector, in Killingworth, Connecticut. In 1716 the school moved to New Haven and, with the generous gift by Elihu Yale of nine bales of goods, 417 books, and a portrait and arms of King George I, was renamed Yale College in 1718. Yale embarked on a steady expansion, establishing the Medical Institution (1810), Divinity School (1822), Law School (1843), Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (1847), the School of Fine Arts (1869), and School of Music (1894). In 1887 Yale College became Yale University. It continued to add to its academic offerings with the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (1900), School of Nursing (1923), School of Drama (1955), School of Architecture (1972), and School of Management (1974). As Yale enters its fourth century, it's goal is to become a truly global university?educating leaders and advancing the frontiers of knowledge not simply for the United States, but for the entire world. Richard C. Levin, the president of Yale University, says: ?The globalization of the University is in part an evolutionary development. Yale has drawn students from outside the United States for nearly...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. With a population of 129,779 as determined by the 2010 United States Census, it is the second-largest city in Connecticut after Bridgeport. New Haven is the principal municipality of Greater New Haven, which had a total population of 862,477 in 2010.New Haven was the first planned city in America. Founded in 1638 by English Puritans, a year later eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is commonly known as the Nine Square Plan. The central common block is the New Haven Green, a 16-acre (6 ha) square, and the center of Downtown New Haven. The Green is now a National Historic Landmark and the Nine Square Plan is recognized by the American Planning Association as a National Planning Landmark.New Haven is the home of Yale University. As New Haven's biggest taxpayer and employer, Yale serves as an integral part of the city's economy. Health care (hospitals and biotechnology), professional services (legal, architectural, marketing, and engineering), financial services, and retail trade also contribute to the city's economic activity.
The city served as co-capital of Connecticut from 1701 until 1873, when sole governance was transferred to the more centrally located city of Hartford. New Haven has since billed itself as the Cultural Capital of Connecticut for its supply of established theaters, museums, and music venues. New Haven had the first public tree planting program in America, producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave New Haven the nickname The Elm City.

[Wikipedia] Shlemiel the First (musical)
Shlemiel the First is a musical adaptation of the Chelm stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer about the supposedly wise men of that legendary town, and a fool named Shlemiel. It was conceived and adapted by Robert Brustein, with lyrics by Arnold Weinstein and music based on traditional klezmer music and Yiddish theater songs by Hankus Netsky of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and Zalmen Mlotek, who wrote additional music and arrangements, and served as the musical director of the original production. Singer had written a non-musical theatrical adaptation of the stories which Brustein produced in 1974 when he was the artistic director of Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, and this served to provide the basic material for the musical.
The musical was originally co-produced in 1994 by Brustein's American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the American Music Theatre Festival in Philadelphia, and was directed, choreographed and edited by David Gordon, who one critic referred to as the auteur of the production. Critic John Lahr, writing in The New Yorker about the show in its run at ART, said that Gordon's fresh and elegant production ... filters a traditional tale through an avant-garde aesthetic and has an element of wonder. In fact, it dares the musical to go back to its beginnings and start again.
The original production subsequently played at the Lincoln Center Serious Fun Festival, the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles – where it earned Gordon Drama-Logue Awards for Outstanding Direction and Choreography – and also toured theatres on the east coast of Florida and in Stamford, Connecticut. A planned Broadway booking by Alexander H. Cohen did not come about.
Subsequent to the last presentation of the original production in 1997, new productions of the play were mounted in 2000 by the Pegasus Players in Chicago, and by Theater J in Washington, D.C. in the 2007-2008 season.
In January 2010, the original David Gordon production, utilizing the original set and costumes designs by Robert Israel and Catherine Zuber, respectively, was remounted at the Alexander Kasser Theatre of Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey, as a co-production of Jed Wheeler's Peak Performances and the National Yiddish Theater Folksbiene. That production was remounted under the auspices of Theatre for a New Audience for performances at New York University's Skirball Center in December 2011.

Dante Behind Bars - Marquand Chapel - April 25, 2015
Dante's Divine Comedy reimagined by men incarcerated in Connecticut's Macdougall-Walker Correctional Institution as performed by students at Yale's Institute of Sacred Music under the direction of Ron Jenkins. April, 25, 2015.
****
Program Note by Ron Jenkins
“Be transformed by the renewing of your minds.” – St. Paul, Romans 12:12
In his illuminating analysis of Dante, Divinity School Professor Peter S. Hawkins quotes St. Paul’s advice about mental renewal as a prelude to discussing the theme of transformation in the “Divine Comedy”: “… it is not the penitents’ suffering that the poem dwells on,” Hawkins writes, “it is the degree to which art, music, language – beauty of all kinds – assist in personal transformation.”
Having worked for many years with Dante’s text in prisons I discovered that this theme of transformation is central to the poem’s reception by individuals behind bars. While Dante’s “Inferno” lives in the popular imagination as an icon of misery and torment, readers in prison explore the “Divine Comedy” as a story of renewal that parallels their own life journeys from a “dark wood… where the straight path was lost” to a better place where they hope to “emerge once again to see the stars.”
For the men and women I meet in prison, Dante’s poem is a story of hope. They identify strongly with the author as a man who, like them, was convicted of crimes and exiled from his home. They see Dante as someone in bleak circumstances who chose literature as a path enabling him to write his way out of hell and into heaven. In their written responses to Dante’s poem many incarcerated authors try to do the same thing. Having spent the semester collaborating with Yale undergraduates and Divinity School students, residents of the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution have reimagined fragments of Dante’s poem as the theatrical sketches that will be presented at Yale and in the prison where they were written.
In the words of a woman who continued to perform Dante’s work after her release, encountering the poem in prison “helped us evolve in an environment where it is much easier to devolve.” Her comments mirror the observations of Columbia Law School Professor Robert Ferguson who wrote a book comparing the American justice system to Dante’s “Inferno.” Speaking at Yale a few weeks ago he observed that writing is an essential tool for people in prison to achieve transformation. “if you don’t let them develop positively,” he said. “they will develop negatively.”
Hearing these responses to Dante’s poem can be transformative for listeners on either side of the bars. On the long bus ride back to New Haven after our weekly sessions at Macdougall-Walker I would reflect on insight, intelligence, and creativity of the men we worked with. The words from Dante that came back to me most often were from Canto IV of “Inferno”: “Deep sorrow struck me when I understood, because then I knew that people of great value were suspended in that limbo.”
Ron Jenkins is a Visiting Professor of Religion & Literature at Yale’s Institute of Sacred Music. A former Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellow he has facilitated Dante workshops in prisons in Italy, Indonesia and America. He has translated and/or directed the plays of the Italian Nobel Laureate at the Yale Repertory Theater, the American Repertory Theater at Harvard, and other theaters. In Indonesia he has studied the theatrical performance of sacred Hindu texts and is the author most recently of Saraswati in Bali: A Temple, A Museum and a Mask.

FROM JAIL TO YALE: SERVING TIME ON STAGE
ACCLAIMED TV, FILM AND STAGE ACTOR
CHARLES S DUTTON
APPEARS ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JOBURG
ARTS ALIVE and JOBURG THEATRE are proud to announce the debut performances on stage in South Africa of the highly acclaimed American TV, film and stage star, Charles S Dutton.
Dutton’s one-man autobiographical play FROM JAIL TO YALE: SERVING TIME ON STAGE is the riveting personal story and narrative of the life of actor Charles S Dutton, who spent a total of fourteen years in and out of the United States Prison System, before discovering the theatre whilst in prison – and thus changing his life.
After his release from prison, Dutton was accepted at the prestigious Yale School of Drama in New Haven, Connecticut.
Charles S Dutton went on to become one of America’s premier stage actors, nominated twice for Tony Awards on Broadway for the plays of August Wilson – MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM and THE PIANO LESSON. Dutton was also nominated five times for Emmy Awards in television, winning three of these: one for directing the critically acclaimed HBO Mini Series THE CORNER in 2000. Dutton has also been nominated for Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild of America Awards.
However, the actor is probably most widely known in South Africa as the star and executive producer of the Fox comedy/drama sitcom ROC and from his TV appearances in HOUSE, THE SOPRANOS and the HBO series, OZ.
All of these accomplishments occurred after he dropped out of school at age 12, spent five years in juvenile prisons and at age 17 went to adult prisons until the age of 26. Dutton graduated from Yale University in 1983.
FROM JAIL TO YALE: SERVING TIME ON STAGE is an informative, inspiring, very self effacing and dramatic narrative of Charles S Dutton’s personal story, intertwined with a medley of scenes from many of the great playwrights that the actor has performed in his stage career. In his stage show, Dutton relates how he grew up on the streets of Baltimore, then discovered his passion for acting whilst serving a seven-year term in prison, where he directed and acted in his first play.
Performances of FROM JAIL TO YALE: SERVING TIME ON STAGE will be presented as part of this year’s ARTS ALIVE theatre programme at The Fringe at Joburg theatre.

Hantar Fikri Untuk First UCONN Summer Program - Puan Shima Sedih Lagi
Video ni masa hantar Fikri untuk attend UCONN's First Summer Program di University of Connecticut. Program selama 4 minggu ini disediakan khas untuk bakal pelajar2 yang akan masuk pada tahun pertama. Program ini bermula pada 7 Julai dan akan berakhir pada 8 ogos, 2014.
Pada mulanya, Puan Shima agak bersedih kerana akan berpisah dengan salah seorang lagi anak kesayangan beliau (selepas Amira & Amirul), lebih2 lagi apabila program tersebut di bulan puasa dan besar kemungkinan Fikri tidak akan dapat bersama dengan keluarga di hari raya tidak berapa lama lagi.
Namun alhamdulillah, bapa Fikri telah sanggup berulang alik mengambil anak kesayangan Puan Shima ini setiap malam Khamis dan menghantar balik semula ke universiti setiap malam Ahad. Nasib baik jarak dan rumah tak berapa jauh, cuma lebih kurang 75 batu sahaja.
The UConn First Summer is a brand-new summer program for incoming freshmen and transfer students who will be starting at UConn in the fall. This intensive five-week program is offered at the Storrs Campus and is designed to give newly admitted students a strong start to both coursework and the UConn experience.
For students who just graduated from high school, the program will help with the transition to college by offering a jump start to one’s academic plan. It will also provide incoming freshmen with the opportunity to gain skills for college success and explore the campus and surrounding communities. Transfer students can use the summer to get a foothold on their UConn careers, build relationships with peers and faculty, and establish important ties to the UConn community.
During UConn First Summer, students will enroll in two academic courses and take part in Husky First Summer, a program designed around strategies for college success and getting to know the UConn campus and community. The five-week courses require a significant commitment, but balancing that will be an array of social, cultural, educational and recreational events that will ease the transition to UConn in the fall and get you moving, thinking, and interacting with others.
The University Community:
Located just steps from the University of Connecticut, Storrs Center is Mansfield's new downtown. You'll find a vibrant Town Square with inviting cafés and restaurants and plenty of places to shop. Enjoy Mansfield's new Main Street neighborhood.
In addition to scheduled First Summer activities, participants can attend optional enrichment programs, exposing new students to events and programs that are available at UConn and in the Storrs community—plays performed by the Connecticut Repertory Theater, lectures, movies and other on and off campus events.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 27, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
The House managers wrapped up their arguments against President Trump on Jan. 24. Trump’s team, including lawyers Pat Cipollone and Jay Sekulow, now has 24 hours to present their case. After Trump’s lawyers conclude their presentation, senators will have an opportunity to submit questions to both sides in writing. Following that, debate will turn to whether to call witnesses and subpoena documents.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
