Elizabeth (Liz) Spencer is Professor of Law at Charles Darwin University. Born in New Jersey, she's the last of four children. Her father was in the US Navy and met her Australian mother in Brisbane towards the end of World War II. In this respect she's half Australian. After finishing high school Liz went on to do a 'gap' year in France where she had some interesting experiences. She then returned to the US and completed a degree in Environmental Studies and Biology from Trinity College and headed out to the west coast to work in an architectural firm. It was there that she decided architecture was not for her and she returned to New York to work before enrolling to do a Master of Community and Regional Planning from the University of Texas at Austin.  Liz got married and moved to Denver before her husband, who was an engineer in the oil and gas industry, got a transfer to Norway and then The Netherlands. While raising two children Liz decided to study law and she earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Arizona. Then, in a twist of irony, the family moved to Brisbane, her mother's home town. She started her career in academia at Bond University where she earned a Ph.D in Franchising Law. Liz has taught contracts, torts, corporations law, business law, international trade law and franchising law. In addition to Bond University her academic career has also included stints with The Australian Catholic University, James Cook University and now Charles Darwin University. This is Liz's Territory Story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/territorystory/message

Elizabeth Spencer joins Fr. Patrick and Emily in the virtual studio, where she shares how her experience of encountering Jesus in a personal way as a college student led to her career dedicated to ministry in youth and family faith formation. 0:35 Fr. Patrick opens by asking Emily about her highlights from her recent trip to Rome, where she represented the Communications team from the Archdiocese of Detroit. She shares the powerful experiences of praying at tomb of St. Aloysius for her Detroit community parish of St. Aloysius, praying at the tomb of St. Paul, one of her favorite saints, and finally the group audience with Pope Francis she was able to participate in. Emily discusses how inspiring the city of Rome is as an emblem of the Catholic faith, and how through her trip she felt renewed in the mission of unleashing the Gospel here in our communities. 5:25 Emily leads listeners in prayer through the intercession of St. Paul and St. Aloysius. 7:00 Emily introduces guest Elizabeth Spencer, who is an active mom, cross stitcher, and runner. Currently expecting her third child, Elizabeth shares how experiencing pregnancy during the Advent season has drawn her closer to Mary as she has reflected on the graces she gives us as our spiritual mother. 9:35 Emily asks Elizabeth to share about her journey to becoming a joyful missionary disciple. Elizabeth discusses how her personal relationship with Jesus grew through the relationships she built with a non-denominational youth group she was involved in during high school, where she was encouraged to form a personal relationship with Jesus and see the ways in which Jesus was real and present in her life. 18:00 During her time in college, as Elizabeth explored Christianity, she was led back to develop a stronger identity in her Catholic faith through people who helped her deepen her understanding of the truth of the Catholic faith, including her father who gave her the book, The Seven Secrets of the Eucharist. Becoming involved in campus ministry at Michigan State, she met her husband who also helped her grow in her faith journey. During this time, one of her most profound lessons was seeing how God meets us and loves us each exactly where we are. 24:10 Fr. Patrick reflects on the Archbishop's words from Unleash the Gospel about building unity with our brothers and sisters from other Christian denominations, and Elizabeth shares about how she connects with and learns from churches in her community through her parish work. 26:50 Fr. Patrick invites Elizabeth to discuss how she became involved in pursuing ministry as her career. Elizabeth discusses how she became a youth minister at St. Anastasia. She is now the parish catechetical leader, where she focuses on faith formation and religious education. Over the past five years, she has worked to ensure that faith development is available at every level to meet all families where they are at, so that families are able to delve into active faith formation from their own homes. She most enjoys giving families opportunities to pray together. 32:50 Elizabeth discusses her tips for family faith formation with young children, including talking about the saints with your children, reading the Gospel as the family, and doing activities so children can engage with the Gospel reflection. She encourages families to use 52 Sundays as a guide for helping parents and children connect with the Mass each week. 34:40 Emily mentions that she has been reading Food for the Soul as a helpful resource in her journey of also actively connecting with Mass each week. She asks Elizabeth what dream the Holy Spirit is putting on her life at this time. Elizabeth shares that her hope is for her children to love and know Jesus as she witnesses her faith to them. 41:45 Elizabeth, Emily, and Fr. Patrick close in prayer together.

How do we do life with our gown kids? Listen this morning as Dawn and Steve discuss an article by Elizabeth Spencer titled "7 Wonderful Gifts of Relationships with Your Adult Children." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the morning of Tuesday, 16th June 1885, Lewis Spencer, waggon inspector for the Midlands Railway Company, was getting ready to leave for work at around 5.45am. Having checked in on his wife, Elizabeth, who was lying in bed, he leant over to give her a kiss on her forehead, telling her he would soon be back home and that all would be okay. Confined to her bed, Elizabeth was preparing for the birth of their fourth child, after already having three children, with the youngest being just eighteen months old. Helping the Spencer's was Mrs. Mary Irving, who resided at nearby Muncaster Place. Aged 78 years old, Mary had spent most of her adult life working as a midwife, helping the most vulnerable of woman whilst in their confinements. But just like many other midwives at that time, she had never undertaken any training prior to taking on work. However, it seems that Elizabeth had trust in Mary as she had helped deliver one of her children only a couple of years previously. Also, Elizabeth would never entertain the idea of calling on a doctor when the time had come to deliver her baby. Mary had arrived at the Spencer's home early in the morning and duly began preparations for the birth of Elizabeth's child. She had placed towels on a table in the bedroom and had already given instructions to a younger girl by the name of Sarah Jane Magee to watch over Elizabeth's three children whilst she was busy attending to Elizabeth. At 7.45am, Lewis returned home for his breakfast. He found Elizabeth lying in bed with Mary also in the room. It was obvious the Elizabeth was in pain but he simply put this down to the effects of child birth. He asked both Elizabeth and Mary if he could help in any way but Mary assured him all was fine and soon thereafter left to return back to work. By around 8.30 in the morning, Elizabeth was in a lot more discomfort so Mary asked Sarah to go to where Lewis worked to ask if he would purchase some spirits. He duly obliged, spending a shillings worth on Whiskey and another shillings worth of Brandy to which he passed over to Sarah so she could take it back to Mary. Back at the Spencer's home, Sarah placed the spirits onto a mantlepiece in the bedroom and it wasn't too long after that Mary would pour a small amount of brandy into a glass to give to Elizabeth. By eleven o'clock, Lewis would again return home, this time for lunch and after going to see his wife, she replied saying she was "about the same" and "there was no danger." Lewis asked her if should bring someone to help, but Elizabeth would still object to seeking out a doctor. With this, and just like he had done earlier in the morning, Lewis finished his lunch before returning back to work. As the afternoon wore on, it was becoming more and more obvious that Elizabeth was struggling whilst in labour. The pain was intensifying but despite this she would still refuse the help of a doctor. What would transpire over the course of the next 50 minutes would be truly horrifying.

A random sign for free dogs inspired Mary Miller to drop a manuscript she'd been researching and create the character of Louis McDonald, Jr. for her hilarious and heartbreaking novel, BILOXI.

For this week's episode, we trace The Light in the Piazza's fifty-year journey from its first incarnation as a novella by Elizabeth Spencer to a musical idea handed down through one of musical theater's most prominent families.  We follow the musical, written by Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas, as it takes shape at the Sundance Theatre Lab, has its first production at the Intiman Theatre in Seattle, is restructured for the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, before making its way to Broaday at Lincoln Center. The show would be nominated for 13 Tony Awards and win 8 of them. It would make stars of its two leading ladies and go down as one of the most important new works of our time.  This episode features brand new interviews with composer Adam Guettel, book writer Craig Lucas, actors Victoria Clark, Kelli O'Hara, and Celia Keenan-Bolger, director Bartlett Sher, and Lincoln Center Artistic Director Andre Bishop

My interview with Elizabeth Pressler of Elizabeth Spencer Winery was a pleasant wine conversation with a pleasant lady who makes very good wine.  What really makes this a turning point was that I asked her "What Does Wine Mean to You?"  It was a question I had asked of Dirk Richter and would soon become a motif in later interviews as well.  Enjoy!  Parts of this video were released as separate episodes of Understanding Wine with Austin Beeman and are collected here for the first time.

A little emotion goes a long way. And music is one of the best communicators of emotion, as Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Billy Joel can tell you. The richer the music, the deeper the emotional response to it. Which is why emotions combined with music can be so powerful, and so dangerous. When 2005’s The Light in the Piazza first materialized on Broadway, there was much talk that the show—a musical adaptation of Elizabeth Spencer’s 1960 novel—marked a return to the kind of gorgeous scores and lyrical drama that fueled the golden age of Broadway. Ignoring decades of rock and pop influences on Broadway, composer Adam Guettel created a score that was lush, orchestral, complex, operatic and deeply, brazenly romantic. Some people hated it. After years of easy, amiable, non-challenging throwaway tunes, ‘The Light in the Piazza’ just sounded so . . . old fashioned. Because of that, others fell in love with it. Like music, and definitely like love itself, its all a matter of taste. In a remarkably strong new production at Spreckels Performing Arts Center, director Gene Abravaya—taking a real risk in tackling something this difficult—has more than met the challenge, assembling a cast of first-rate singers and a stellar chamber orchestra, for what is quite possibly the most beautiful, satisfying, musically competent, and artistically successful show Spreckels Theater Company has ever staged. And that some of the cast sings and speaks (convincingly) in Italian, that only adds to the impressiveness of the achievement. Whether all of this is excellence and musical skill is enough to draw an audience remains to be seen, though positive word-of-mouth will certainly help. Based on a book few have read, this is no Mary Poppins. But for audiences loudly clamoring to see something that dares to venture beyond the confortable familiarity of the same old overdone standard musicals, here is your chance to prove it. Set in Italy in the 1950s, the story follows two visiting Americans, the wealthy southerner Margaret—brilliantly played by Eileen Morris—and her wide-eyed daughter Clara—played by Jennifer Mitchell, whose pure singing voice and expressive face make every emotion and discovery as clear as a bell. When Clara falls in love, at first sight, with the youthful and exuberant Frabrizio—Jacob Bronson—the stage is a set for a series of clashes between Margaret and Fabrizio, between Margaret and Clara, and between Margaret’s own desire to protect her daughter, and to also allow her the love she never has the courage to claim for herself. The clever, entertaining book by Craig Lucas—who wrote Prelude to a Kiss and Amélie: The Musical—does include scenes spoken in Italian, giving a sense of the lost-in-translation confusion that impedes Clara and Fabrizio at every turn. In one delightful scene in the second act, Fabrizio’s mother—Barbara McFadden, who’s wonderful—drops the Italian to explain in English what her husband—an excellent Steven Kent Barker—has been saying to their other son and his wife—played respectively by Tariq Malik and Amy Marie Webber. That said, the Italian sequences are so well staged, it’s pretty clear what’s going on. With some fine design and technical support, and a strong ensemble cast, Spreckels’ Light in the Piazza is a truly impressive show, dripping with music and the dangers and allure of love—and that’s worth experiencing in any language. 'The Light in the Piazza' runs Friday–Sunday through Oct. 25 at Spreckels Performing Arts Center. Spreckels online.com

Hi Roy, Thanks for the mention in the MMM today. It never ceases to amaze me the buzz something like that creates. Reading it also reminds me of the other conversation that took place at the same time, when you and Dave were talking about how a chef reduces the sauce to intensify the flavour and how that process can be related to writing. That conversation adds clarity to today's argument raging in the US about 60's vs. 30's. Cheers Steve The “other conversation” mentioned in this email from my partner Steve Rae was with Dave Martin, the Academy graduate and friend in whose restaurant we were dining. Following http://wizardacademy.org/imagegallery.asp (my discussion of paint with Bob Shrubsall), Dave and I began discussing how impact grows when it's concentrated into less of the carrier vehicle. This is the secret of perfume, reduction sauce, and the edge of an axe. But just as sharpening an axe or simmering the water from sauce takes time and patience, editing words from descriptions is not a task for the anxious or twitchy. Easy reading is damned hard writing. Think of this principle as The Law of Refined Essence. I've always been a fan of David Ogilvy and J. Peterman, two of the great masters of evocative description, and both were advocates of long and colorful copy. These men were legends in their day but I believe that day is fading. The rules of communication are shifting beneath our feet. Haven't you noticed? We're entering an era of stimuli bombardment, visual ecstasy, sound bites, the micro attention span. A committed reader is a rare bird. Over-communication has accelerated beyond critical mass and the resulting explosion has fragmented the public mind. So the new rule is to say what you've got to say. And say it hot. Speaking to authors, Elizabeth Spencer said, “Don't overwrite description in a story – you haven't got time.” I believe her advice rings truer today than ever. What do you believe? Roy H. Williams
