Podcasts about teachers aid

“

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that America's first Baptist church was founded by Roger Williams in Providence in 1638—and it's still there today? Even still, 54% of the state identifies as being Catholic which makes it the most Catholic state in the US. Now, for our feature story: Film lovers will soon be able to sit comfortably in one of the United Theatre's three state-of-the-art movie houses and enjoy first-run art-house movies every day of the year. "Three hundred and sixty-five days a year," said a smiling Lisa Utman Randall, the theater's executive director one afternoon last week as she led a group of people on a tour of the building, which is near completion and on track to open in June. "It's going to be amazing." Amazing is certainly one way to describe the $12 million renovation of the Canal Street property, which includes not only the original United Theatre — which opened as a Vaudeville theater in January 1926 — but the adjacent former Montgomery Ward building. From the beginning of the renovation, which started when The Westerly Land Trust purchased the theater as part of the Urban Program in the winter of 2006, plans have called to develop the property into somewhat of a "mini Lincoln Center" for the region. And now, as opening day inches closer, and The United Theatre makes plans to officially open its doors as the region's premier arts complex, the breadth, depth and scope of the project is there for all to see.   While no official opening date has been set, there are a number of films and live events planned for the summer, Utman Randall said, and an upcoming events calendar will be published next month. "It's just so exciting to be at this point," Utman Randall said as she led the group from the back-door entrance — where she envisions a sculpture pad where local artists and "artists from afar" can share works — through the downstairs area where the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School will be located with its soundproof classrooms, past the elevator, and up the stairs to the main entrance, pausing here and there to point out the green room, the concession area, the art house cinema and finally to main stage. "There's lots of red," she said with a flourish, motioning toward a brightly crimson-colored wall behind her. "It's all very theatrical ... very dramatic." The main section — the black box theater area — also includes the 100-plus-seat balcony, which can turn into its own cinema with a series of curtains and a drop-down screen. Utman Randall said much of the space has been left "intentionally flexible" so people or organizations renting space inside the theater can design it to their liking. As she walked from the main entrance to the restaurant — which runs alongside the theater, in a space once occupied by the Twisted Vine — Utman Randall stopped at a small glassed-in storefront area facing Canal Street. "This is the Public's Radio space," she said. "They'll broadcast live from here." Utman Randall, who has been giving small, COVID-19-appropriate tours of the space, said the fact that the United's opening will occur during a pandemic, makes it all the more remarkable, exciting and experimental. "A lot has changed in the world of the performing arts during COVID," she said. "It's a changing landscape." Lisa Konicki, president of the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce, summed up many residents' hopes… “The theater will also be a destination one that will draw from neighboring communities and allow visitors to  discover our charming and thriving downtown business district."
