Photo Coverage: Go Inside STARMITES: IN CONCERT at 54 Below!
54 Below just presented STARMITES: IN CONCERT, a one-of-a-kind tribute to one of the most brave, boisterous, brazen, raucous and just plain far-out theatre experiences of the 1980s. Based on the 1989 Broadway musical of the same name with music and lyrics by Barry Keating and a book by Keating and Stuart Ross, STARMITES blasts off boasting an instant earworm score packed with delectable pop gems, epic ensemble sequences, and one of the most show-stopping diva showcases of all time at its center. Like no musical before or since, STARMITES is truly in a galaxy all its own.
Teachers in Action Launches Books About Zambia
A group of retired teachers from Cincinnati is working to make a difference in Zambia. Teachers in Action, founded by Susan Richardson, Beth Duff and Mimi Gingold, is publishing two books about Zambia which will be used to promote literacy in community schools. Hello, Pretty Birds of Zambia and We People of Zambia include photographs of Zambia paired with simple English text and a translation into one of the three main indigenous languages, Tonga, Bemba or Nyanja. The books, the first two in an anticipated Life in Zambia series, are being sold both to equip community schools and to raise funds in support of two children's charities, the Ranchhod Hospice Daycare and Preschool and Sables Street Kids Program. Both programs support children infected with or orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the impoverished city of Kabwe.
