Three actors, one enigmatic play, and surprising insights into collaboration, craft, and curiosity What can three actors teach you about memory, silence, and creativity? In this episode of Your Creative Mind, I sit down with Jaqui Shiel, Mark Cosby, and Lori Kee, three accomplished performers who brought Harold Pinter's Old Times to life in a Zoom performance in Karen Kohlhaas' directing class that I took. You'll hear how they build layered characters, balance artistic work with everyday demands, and use pauses and presence to create powerful moments on stage and in life. Their stories offer practical strategies you can apply to your own communication, whether you're leading a team, teaching a class, or crafting your next project. If you want fresh insight into acting craft, collaboration, and the artistry of silence, this conversation will spark new ideas and confidence in your own creative journey. The actors in this project were: Jaqui Shiel as Kate, Mark Cosby as Deeley, and Lori Kee as Anna. See below for their information. If you're a producer or a casting director, book them for shows. They are tremendous at their art and craft. See the production on YouTube. Jaqui Shiel Jaqui Shiel is an actor, singer and writer.

Three Little Words | Luke 17:1-10 | Unworthy Servants A little boy once broke his sister's toy. After whispering, “I'm sorry,” he waited as she thought, then finally replied, “I forgive you.” Those three little words stunned the world when the video went viral. Why? Because forgiveness is rare. Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not a medal we earn but a gift we pass on. We are not “worthy servants” stacking up good works—we are unworthy servants who still hurt and provoke others. Yet Christ forgives us. On the cross He tore sin out by the roots and cast it into the sea. In Baptism, Absolution, and His Supper, He keeps doing this for you. Forgiveness is not our accomplishment. It is the Gospel in action. By the Spirit, we guard and share this treasure: three little words that change everything—“I forgive you.” Which is simply another way of saying, “I love you.” ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org https://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Episode 103: Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Max Webster Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Titus Andronicus is Shakespeare's first tragedy, although in fact, scholars believe that Shakespeare did not write the whole play himself. Whatever its origins, the play is notorious for its graphic horror, which includes multiple killings, amputations, decapitations, rape and cannibalism. Horrors that have overwhelmed audiences and alienated critics for centuries. Although the play was hugely popular in Shakespeare's time, later critics dismissed it for its excessive violence and crude, fragmented structure. However, the play's bleak portrait of amoral leadership, sexual violence, racial conflict, and personal and political despair has struck a chord in more recent times, with several acclaimed productions and restored critical opinion. As we record this episode an exciting new production of the play is on stage at the Hampstead theatre in London, having transferred following its acclaimed run at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. The production is directed by Max Webster, who joins me to explore Shakespeare's full-blooded tragedy.
In the heart of Yellowstone National Park, little Charlotte the wolf pup dreams of chasing grasshoppers and dancing through meadows — not tracking prey or following rules like the rest of the pack. But when danger threatens her family and the powerful Alpha Queen, Charlotte's mother and leader of the pack, it's up to this free-spirited pup to race for help and prove that being different can be a strength. A heartwarming tale of courage, loyalty, and finding your place in the world, CHARLOTTE, A YELLOWSTONE WOLF PUP is a celebration of individuality and the unbreakable bonds of family. Perfect for children of all ages — and their grown-ups too. A portion of proceeds from this book supports wolf conservation efforts through The Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Defenders of Wildlife, and the Wolf Conservation Center. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Inspiration and purpose – Celia's framework of choosing endangered animals, tying each book to a grandchild, and supporting conservation. Story and themes – Charlotte's journey of independence versus belonging, and the lessons for kids about individuality and family. Research and authenticity – How Celia studied wolves and balanced realism with age-appropriate storytelling. Illustrations and collaboration – Working with Maria Hahn, capturing Yellowstone accurately, and adding interactive coloring pages. Takeaway for young readers – Charlotte as a relatable, brave, and lovable character, and what Celia hopes children remember after closing the book. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Celia Straus has written hundreds of shows for television and film throughout her career, and most recently, she is proud to have received an Emmy nomination for Kids Speak Out, a YouTube series created in partnership with the United Nations that features conversations with children worldwide about their lives. Her work has earned her Cine Golden Eagles and industrial film festival gold and silver awards, as she has served as a script-writer for numerous networks including Discovery, History Channel, and PBS. For five years, from 2012 to 2017, Straus created and wrote the Emmy Award Winning Memorial Day Concert that was broadcast nationally on PBS. She also had the honor of creating and writing the Anti-Defamation League's Concert Against Hate, which was performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for several years. In addition to her television and film work, Straus has authored several books on different topics. Her poetry trilogy for middle school girls, including the national bestseller Prayers On My Pillow, was published by Ballantine Books in 1998. On military topics, she wrote Hidden Battles on Unseen Fronts: Stories of American Soldiers with PTSD and TBI, published by Casemate in 2009, and Pathfinder Pioneer: The Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot, published by Casemate in 2017. Her passion for storytelling extends to children's literature, and she has collaborated with various illustrators to create children's picture books, such as the three BoBo and Iris books about an orphaned baby elephant in Kenya, Livy Little Honey Bee, and Sophie, the Monarch Butterfly, Mission to Mexico. Straus currently resides in Washington, D.C. but travels frequently to see her two daughters and gorgeous grandchildren, who are the apple of her eye.

Today, we welcome two remarkable guests: composer Amy Scurria and Dr. Ryan Gardner, Associate Professor of Trumpet at the University of Colorado Boulder. Amy, a multi-award-winning composer, has seen her work performed worldwide, including at Carnegie Hall. With a unique perspective shaped by her late autism diagnosis, she began composing at just eight years old, using music as a language to explore her emotions. Ryan, originally from Santa Monica, California, has spent over a decade teaching trumpet and is known for his innovative approaches to performance psychology. He also serves as the artistic director for Music for Autism, a program that creates inclusive concert experiences for autistic individuals and their families.In this first part of our conversation, we dive into the intersections of music and autism. Amy shares her insights on neurodiversity and how it shapes her approach to composing, while Ryan discusses the transformative power of music for autistic audiences. As Amy poignantly states, "Neurodiversity means we're just scratching the surface of what the human brain is capable of and how it works." Their stories and perspectives promise to offer enlightening views on how music can bridge differences and create connections.[Subscriber Content] In the subscriber section, we delve deeper into Amy's journey as a composer and her educational experiences. She reflects on her influences, including her composition teachers at Rice University and Duke University, and shares thoughts on how improvisation has played a role in her creative process. Ryan also discusses the impactful training he received and the importance of understanding individual learning styles in music education. Their shared wisdom is sure to resonate and inspire anyone interested in the rich tapestry of music education and neurodiversity.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Looks Can Be Deceiving | Luke 16:19–31 | The Rich Man and Lazarus Looks can be deceiving. By all appearances, the rich man in Jesus' story was “blessed.” He had everything he wanted, lived in luxury, and was admired by others. It seemed as though God approved of his life. Meanwhile, Lazarus appeared “cursed”—homeless, sick, hungry, and ignored. Yet appearances were not the truth. In the end, the one who looked blessed was cursed, and the one who looked cursed was blessed. So how do we know who is truly blessed? Not by what our eyes see or by the world's opinions, but by what our ears hear. God's Word tells us the truth. It reveals who we are in Christ—despite appearances, feelings, or the judgments of others.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,Autumn leaves are falling, temperatures are dropping, and for many creators, an uneasy feeling creeps in as we evaluate what we've accomplished this year. If you're feeling that familiar pressure that comes with seasonal transitions, you're not alone.In this deeply atmospheric episode, we explore how the changing seasons can trigger creative anxiety and the feeling that we haven't achieved enough as the year winds down. I share some gentle reminders about the importance of self-compassion during these transitional times. There's absolute wisdom in slowing down, celebrating small victories, and breaking unfinished goals into manageable pieces for the future. For my fellow ADHD creators, I offer practical tips on keeping those goals visible and achievable.The perfect companion to these autumnal reflections comes as Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's gothic novella "Carmilla."

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 26th Publish Date: September 26th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, September 26th and Happy Birthday to Tommy Lasorda I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Potential name changes on the horizon for Cobb Galleria, Performing Arts Centre Kennesaw to increase sanitation rates Health officials warn of measles in Georgia Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: Ingles Markets 4 STORY 1: Potential name changes on the horizon for Cobb Galleria, Performing Arts Centre Big changes are coming to the Cobb Galleria Centre—and not just the $190 million renovation. A new name might be on the way, too. Charlie Beirne, the Galleria’s general manager, floated the idea of renaming it the “Cobb Convention Center” during a meeting Wednesday. “It’s simple, clear, and gives us national recognition,” he said. The authority’s board agreed, though Chair Jerry Nix admitted, “It’s not just a name change—there’s a lot of headache involved.” Meanwhile, the $145 million Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is also eyeing a rebrand, with naming rights expiring in 2027. A new sponsor could bring fresh funds to keep the venue cutting-edge. Renovations for both facilities are well underway, with the Galleria’s upgrades—including a grand entrance, expanded meeting spaces, and a sleek new look—set to wrap by early 2027. It’s the end of an era for the Galleria Specialty Shops, but Beirne says the revamped space will better serve the community and attract larger events. As for the Performing Arts Centre, a marketing firm has been hired to find a new name sponsor. Both projects signal a fresh chapter for these iconic Cobb landmarks. STORY 2: Kennesaw to increase sanitation rates Starting Nov. 1, Kennesaw residents will see a 6% bump in their sanitation rates. That means the standard monthly service—one trash can, one recycle cart—goes from $32.50 to $34.50. Got an extra trash can? That’ll now run you $19.50 a month, and additional recycle carts are $6. The increase hits December bills, but if you’ve prepaid for the year, you’re safe until your service period ends. Auto-pay users? Better update your payment info to dodge late fees. The city says it’s been eating rising costs for four years—18% higher, to be exact. “This adjustment was overdue,” Councilman Antonio Jones said, noting it was finalized with the 2026 budget. Republic Services, the city’s contractor, will continue handling trash, recycling, and yard waste. STORY 3: Health officials warn of measles in Georgia Georgia health officials are keeping a close eye on seven people who may have been exposed to measles after contact with infected individuals. On Tuesday, the state Department of Public Health confirmed three new cases, including one on Sept. 11. Two of the patients are unvaccinated, and the third? Their vaccination status is unclear. All three are isolating at home. So far, 268 close contacts have been identified, but only seven are under “active” monitoring. Officials stress vaccination is the best defense—kids should get their first dose between 12-15 months and a second by age 6. This year, Georgia has seen 10 measles cases, up from six last year. Nationwide, cases have been climbing since the pandemic disrupted routine vaccinations. Meanwhile, a CDC advisory panel recently stirred controversy by recommending standalone chickenpox vaccines for toddlers instead of the combined MMRV shot. The American Academy of Pediatrics pushed back, calling the move “misguided” and warning it could erode trust in vaccines. Georgia parents are urged to talk to their doctors about the best options for their kids. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 4 STORY 4: New art exhibits in Marietta blend the personal, political and the abstract Two new exhibits are turning heads at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, running through Dec. 14: Craig Drennen’s “T is for Timon” and Ahmad Hassan Taylor’s “History Lessons.” Drennen, a Guggenheim fellow and Georgia State professor, spent 17 years crafting his Shakespeare-inspired collection. “Timon of Athens,” a play Shakespeare himself never staged, serves as his muse. “It’s a bad play by a great playwright,” Drennen quipped. “I use bad things to make good things.” His bold, abstract works—painted to mimic collages—are designed to last centuries. Taylor, known as the “Atlanta Illustrator,” makes his debut with striking cityscapes and politically charged pieces. One standout, “All In Favor (Of Hate),” features a white horse surrounded by biting commentary on perception and truth. Both artists will host free talks—Drennen on Nov. 1, Taylor on Dec. 14. Admission is free on Oct. 5, Nov. 2, and Dec. 7. STORY 5: Cobb extends student housing moratorium Cobb County’s moratorium on student housing applications just got another six-month extension, as officials wait for Kennesaw State University to wrap up its housing study. The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday—no debate, just a quick vote—to keep the pause in place until spring 2026. This is the second extension since the ban started in October 2024. Community Development Director Jessica Guinn said it’ll likely be the last. The issue? It’s messy. Commissioner Keli Gambrill isn’t a fan of purpose-built student housing, saying KSU should handle its own housing needs. Chair Lisa Cupid, on the other hand, has pointed out that many students can’t find affordable housing because of county rules limiting unrelated people from living together. Meanwhile, not everyone’s on board with the moratorium. During public comment, Donald Barth didn’t hold back. “Have y’all bumped your heads?” he asked. “We need student housing. It brings growth, tax dollars, and no problems—at least not where I live.” The county plans to revisit the issue once KSU’s study is done, with potential updates to the student housing code included in the new Unified Development Code. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas We’ll have closing comments after this.

Episode 102: Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe Host: Douglas Schatz Guests: Duncan Macmillan Jonny Donahoe Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Every Brilliant ThingWhen their mother attempts to take her own life, a seven-year old child decides to start a list; a list of “everything brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for.” A list for mum. This is the premise for Every Brilliant Thing, the hit one-person play created by playwright Duncan Macmillan and performer Jonny Donahoe. The play started life at Ludlow Fringe Festival in 2013, and in the decade or so since, it has been seen in over 70 countries around the world. As we record this episode Every Brilliant Thing has reached London's West End, with a rotating cast of five different performers appearing over its three-month run at the Soho Place theatre. The critic, Lyn Gardner, described Every Brilliant Thing as “one of the funniest plays you'll ever see about depression.” She is spot on – it is funny and poignant and finally life affirming. I am very privileged to be joined in this episode by the show's two creators, Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe.

God's Absurd Generosity! | Luke 16:1–13 | The Parable of the Dishonest Manager Here's the heart of it all: God Himself is the absurd master. Faced with the tragedy of our sin, He didn't clutch His wealth. He didn't demand repayment. He gave His only begotten Son into the flesh to save us from sin, death, and damnation. Jesus is the true steward who didn't just cut our debts, He paid them in full with His blood. He didn't just ease our burden; He bore it all. He didn't just lower our balance; He stamped across the ledger: “It is finished.” The cross is the most absurd act in history. God's own Son dies for sinners. The guilty go free. The dishonest, the greedy, the selfish, the prayerless, the vain—all forgiven. Absurd. Crazy. Wonderful.

In this week's episode, we're featuring two powerful stories born from our education program.Part 1: As an undergraduate with no “real” science experience, Molly Magid is thrilled to join a research project studying how bats fly—until she discovers the bats refuse to cooperate. Part 2: As a child, Léa Souccar and her father explore the wreckage in the aftermath of a devastating bombing. Molly Magid is a science communicator and podcast producer. She has been telling stories about science since the first grade, when she wrote a biologically accurate story about ladybugs. Originally from Denver, Colorado, Molly now lives in Christchurch, New Zealand. She enjoys sharing her passion for science anywhere from podcasts to social media to declaring her love of longfin eels on the street. Léa Souccar was born in Lebanon, three years into the war. By the time the fighting stopped, she was twelve. In between, the voice of her storytelling grandmother carried her above the chaos—like a flying carpet—and helped shape who she became. During her first year studying Performing Arts, Beirut hosted its first Storytelling and Monodrama Festival. She skipped classes that week to attend every lecture by day and every performance by night. Something long asleep inside her woke up. From that moment on, she trained relentlessly, learning from renowned storytellers from around the world. After earning a Master's in Theater Education for Special Needs, she began working as a storyteller and puppeteer, sharing stories in schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and prisons. In 2010, she became a primary school teacher in France. She found her place in a preschool classroom, where she began exploring all the ways oral storytelling can support and inspire learning. Today, she leads workshops where she shares her two greatest passions: storytelling and education—and the sparks that fly when the two meet.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The term “culture wars” is most often associated with issues of sexuality, race, religion, and gender. But, as recent months have made plain, when Donald Trump refers to the culture wars, he also means the arts. He fired the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Republicans want to rename for him. His Administration fired the national archivist and the Librarian of Congress, and pressured the director of the National Portrait Gallery to resign; it is reviewing the entire Smithsonian Institution, looking for what the President calls “improper ideology.” Some view these moves as low-hanging fruit for Trump, and a distraction from bad press about Jeffrey Epstein, the Putin meeting, and tariffs. But Adam Gopnik believes that interpretation is a misreading. The loyalty purge at institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery is a key part of his agenda. “Pluralism is the key principle of a democratic culture,” Gopnik tells David Remnick. Could we be following the path of Stalinist Russia, where a head of state dictated reviews of concerts, Remnick asks? “I pray and believe that we are not. But that is certainly the direction in which one inevitably heads when the political boss takes over key cultural institutions, and dictates who's acceptable and who is not.” Gopnik recalls saying after the election that “Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert would be next.” “You would see them disappear,” he added. “Each time, we find a rationale for it or a rationale is offered. And it's much easier for us to swallow the rationale than to face the reality.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
