The Patsy Cline Theater isn't just an auditorium — it's Winchester's de facto civic center. From Willie Nelson to Vince Gill to Sara Evans, from the Apple Blossom coronations to 35 years of community gatherings, it's where Winchester has shown up for itself. And the seats, after nearly 40 years of student traffic and standing ovations, are showing every bit of their age. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes an old friend back to the show — Larry Weiss, Executive Director of the Winchester Education Foundation — for a conversation about how the Foundation supports Winchester Public Schools and the year-long Community Comfort Campaign to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the historic theater. Larry walks through the full scope of the Foundation's work — scholarships for graduating Handley seniors, a unique endowment from Mindy Loy that funds continuing education for Handley graduates who come back to teach in Winchester schools, and the brick-and-mortar work that brought the Emil and Grace Shihadeh Innovation Center into existence (now featured in a national PBS-style documentary called Multiple Choice). Plus: a special August benefit concert at the Patsy Cline Theater by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Valerie Smith, whose new "musical journal" Maggie's Journal sets her grandmother's post-Civil War handwritten journal to bluegrass, Americana, and roots music — with all proceeds going to the seating campaign. ABOUT THE COMMUNITY COMFORT CAMPAIGN A year-long fundraising campaign by the Winchester Education Foundation to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the Patsy Cline Theater at John Handley High School — the venue that serves not just the school but the wider Winchester community as a civic center, concert hall, and Apple Blossom event space. Total project cost is estimated at approximately $1 million. New seating and carpeting installation is targeted for summer 2027. WAYS TO PARTICIPATE • $350 names a seat — name tag can honor anyone (teacher, parent, classmate, graduating student) • Purchase an entire row to reunite a graduating class • Take one of the old seats home as a souvenir when they're uninstalled • Any contribution — from $10 to $10,000 — moves the campaign forward • The balcony will be dedicated in honor of Russ Potts • All 1991-era donor name tags will be moved to the new seats, preserving the theater's history BENEFIT CONCERT — VALERIE SMITH'S MAGGIE'S JOURNAL Saturday, August 1, 2026 • 7:00 PM Sunday, August 2, 2026 • 2:00 PM matinee Patsy Cline Theater, John Handley High School LINKS & RESOURCES • Winchester Education Foundation — winchestereducationfoundation.org (click the Community Comfort Campaign graphic on the homepage) • Valerie Smith — thevaleriesmith.com (concert tickets and information) THE VALLEY TODAY with Janet Michael — A decade of conversations.

Gaius and Germanicus critique the 2026 US-Iran peace negotiations, which Gaius describes as a "work of fiction" and "anti-theater" lacking any heroic or certain resolution. Germanicus asserts that the current leadership is a symptom of a broader systemic collapse within the American imperial institution, which he claims has relied on a "tissue of lies" since the beginning of the global war on terror. He argues that modern "emperors" have forgotten that the United Statesremains a republic where wars require the validity and engagement of the people to be sustainable. Without a "mythic passage of becoming" or a shared existential experience, the speakers warn that the pursuit of disconnected, feckless adventures will eventually lead to the self-destruction of the state.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I examine the tragic murder of Jessie Hurlstone, a young woman living in Devon whose life was taken following a campaign of obsessive stalking that escalated into deadly violence.vWhat began as unwanted attention developed into a frightening pattern of fixation and control, raising important questions about the dangers of stalking, the warning signs that can be missed, and the devastating consequences when obsession turns to murder.I explore Jessie's life, the investigation that followed her killing, the evidence presented in court, and the conviction of Stephen Webber. I also look at the wider issues surrounding stalking, victim protection, and how cases like Jessie's helped highlight the need for stronger legal safeguards. This is a heartbreaking case that serves as a powerful reminder that stalking is never harmless and should always be taken seriously.Please join me for the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast on Friday.Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWriting Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Watch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosGet All The News First - Subscribe To My Newsletterhttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

The US Navy is lost at sea and in the thrall of exquisite platform that be the maritime tombs of tens of thousands of sailors in the coming wars of the 21st century. The acquisition system is broken beyond repair, burn it down. The aircraft carrier has been a signature component of US naval power and prestige for more than a century. The utility has continued to diminish since the end of WWII. The tremendous disadvantage of putting so much manpower and treasure into these single use leviathan systems in the modern world of distributed missile and PGM systems, emerging near-peer & peer adversaries and concentration of power in vulnerable systems is a recipe for future disaster. The US Navy surface fleet is in tatters and shattered by readiness, maintenance and armament issues that are critical indicators of a navy totally unprepared. More on the carrier dilemma in Chasing Ghosts Episode #034, WarNotes #10 and Dispatch #006.

For five seasons, Mick's take was: skip school, get your headshots, get on set. Now, with more distance from USC's School of Theater - and a clearer view of what longevity in this industry actually requires - he's not so sure. In this episode, Mick and Ashley revisit the theater school debate: what it gave him, what it didn't, and why the tools for the long game often look useless until they aren't. Plus: they open with 12 minutes of NBA playoff chaos because Lakers + Knicks season is not a drill.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Tulsi Gabbard's bio lab declassification, which both hosts dismiss as a limited hangout repeating information that has been public since 2021 and 2022. They float a more interesting possibility: that the real declassification work may be coming from the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez rather than the DNI's office at all. The Iran situation gets its full theater treatment, with Trump's True Social posts about a peace deal timed to his birthday, an Apache helicopter shoot down, and the familiar self defense strikes framing, alongside the coordinated takeout of a Tren de Aragua leader in Venezuela. Spencer Pratt's concession video gets dissected for what it reveals about the LA mayoral race, paired with Steve Hilton's bizarre campaign ad and the voter ID ballot measure backed by Palmer Luckey, the Winklevoss twins, and Nicole Shanahan. The new NSPM 12 cybersecurity directive gets connected to last week's AI memo and the breaking news that the Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's new Fable model over jailbreak concerns. The show closes with a New York Times excerpt detailing the White House's yearlong Situation Room scramble over the Epstein files.

In February, Seattle angel investor Charles Fitzgerald warned the region not to become the next Cleveland, prompting Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb to join the podcast and make the case for his city's comeback. This week we close the loop: Fitzgerald and GeekWire co-founder John Cook call in from an abandoned Westinghouse factory in Cleveland, where days of meeting entrepreneurs, civic leaders, and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine left them struck by a city hustling and aligned around jobs in ways Seattle no longer is. Back home, we dig into Seattle's unanimous one-year moratorium on new large data centers, which Fitzgerald calls political theater, and he explains why he's sitting out the SpaceX IPO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recovery Rewired:  Why Knowing Better is not Enough Episode 2:  The Theatre of Surprise Why we keep repeating what we already know In this second episode of the Recovery Rewired series, Lynette explores one of the most powerful concepts in recovery, emotional growth, and self-awareness: The Theatre of Surprise. How often have you found yourself saying: “I can't believe I drank again.” “I can't believe they did that.” “I can't believe I'm still struggling with this.” “I can't believe this keeps happening.” But what if the problem isn't the pattern? What if the problem is pretending we're surprised by a pattern we've seen many times before? Drawing on the teachings of neuro-psychologist Dr Julia DiGangi, Lynette explores how the brain's role as a pattern detector can keep us trapped in cycles of frustration, disappointment, and resistance to reality. Through the continuing story of “May,” we discover how recognising familiar patterns is not a sign of failure—it's the beginning of freedom. Because recovery isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming honest enough to see what is already true. In This Episode What Dr. Julia DiGangi means by “The Theatre of Surprise” Why the brain is constantly looking for familiar patterns The difference between surprise and resistance How we create suffering when we argue with reality Why cravings, triggers, and emotional reactions are often predictable The role of emotional adulthood in lasting recovery How accepting reality creates the space for change Why honesty is the foundation of personal power Key Takeaways The brain is a pattern detector—it notices repetition and predicts what comes next. Many of the things we say we're surprised by are actually familiar patterns. Resistance often disguises itself as surprise. Emotional growth begins when we stop arguing with reality. The craving is not the problem; our resistance to the craving is often what creates suffering. Honesty is not punishment—it is freedom. We don't become free when the pattern disappears; we become free when we stop pretending we can't see it. Reflection for the Week Take a few moments to reflect on the following questions: Where am I pretending to be surprised when it's really no surprise at all? What pattern have I been seeing for months—or even years? What truth have I been resisting? What disappointment, grief, or longing might be sitting underneath my frustration? And perhaps most importantly: What changes when I stop saying, “I can't believe this is happening,” and start saying, “Ah, there it is again.” Memorable Quotes from this Episode “The Theatre of Surprise is when we pretend we don't know what we already know.” “The pattern isn't the problem. Pretending we're surprised by it keeps us stuck.” “The moment we stop fighting reality, we gain the power to work with it.” “Honesty is not punishment. Honesty is freedom.” “We don't become free when the pattern disappears. We become free when we stop pretending we can't see it.” Coming Next Week Recovery Rewired – Episode 3 Recovery Is Repetition In the final episode of the series, Lynette explores how real change happens. Not through willpower. Not through motivation. Not through perfection. But through repetition. Learn how the brain builds new pathways, how confidence grows through evidence, and how sobriety becomes stronger one small choice at a time.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!In 1929, the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, Illinois, opened its doors just as the Great Depression began. Built in the style of ancient Egypt, it became one of over 100 theaters inspired by the discovery of King Tut's tomb. For nearly a century, it has been a community landmark, hosting vaudeville shows, films, concerts, and events. But beneath the glamour and golden décor lies another story—one steeped in the paranormal.The Egyptian Theatre is said to be home to at least six distinct spirits. Witnesses report encounters with a woman in green, a loyal supporter named Irv who refuses to leave, and even the presence of a young girl whose laughter still echoes long after shows end. These phantoms seem tied to both the vaudeville era and modern times, suggesting the building is alive with history that refuses to rest.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with marketing and communications director Jeanine Holcomb to explore the haunted legacy of the Egyptian Theatre, its ghosts, and the stories that keep audiences coming back for more than just the shows.#EgyptianTheatre #HauntedTheatre #GhostStories #TheGraveTalks #HauntedIllinois #ParanormalHistory #LadyInGreen #HauntedPlaces #VaudevilleGhosts #HauntedEgyptianLove real ghost stories?

Day after day, Russia pounds Ukraine as President Putin tries to claim he's winning this war - now in its fifth year. But increasingly audacious long-range Ukrainian strikes are challenging that narrative. This week, they struck an arms factory and an oil refinery deep inside Russia. Ukraine also hit the Russian-occupied port of Mariupol - a strategically important site that was taken by Russian forces early in the war after it was the setting for one of the first major sites of Russian horrors. Many people scrambling to survive the atrocity took refuge in a theatre, which was bombed on March 16th, 2022. This critical episode of the war is the subject of a new book, "The Theatre," by journalist James Verini and he joins the show from New York.   Also on today's show: actors Mark Strong and Lesley Manville discuss "Oedipus"; Rebecca Winthrop, Director, Brookings Institution Center for Universal Education    Learn more about your ad choices.

Teaching Shakespeare's Theatre of the World (Cambridge University Press, 2025) engages with one of Shakespeare's greatest thought-experiments: How does one navigate the 'theatre of the world'? It invites students to examine how Shakespeare challenges this metaphor's vertical hierarchies in response to shifting understandings of cosmological order. Teachers will find rich contextual frameworks for exploring how Shakespeare envisions 'worlds' as emerging from dynamic variables, raising urgent questions about how identity and justice are environmentally constructed. Focal plays include A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, Hamlet, Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. Each discussion features student centered 'Explorations'. These play-specific classroom activities can also be adapted across Shakespeare's corpus and tailored for both secondary and university-level students. These exercises encourage non-linear critical and creative thinking, inviting students to contemplate big ideas and generate new perspectives about the shared points of contact between Shakespeare's world and their own.

She previews the upcoming Met lineup—two weeks of Swan Lake, Cranko's Onegin, and 10 performances of Don Quixote with seven Kitri/Basilio casts. Jaffe details her Don Quixote refresh: keeping the 1978 production, tightening storytelling and pacing, making music cuts, adjusting mime and choreography, and more.
