Todd Eric Hawkins Elected to Emerging Leaders Council!
|
|
We're pleased & excited to announce the news (that we just knew would happen): our Managing Director, Todd Eric Hawkins, has been elected to the Emerging Leaders Council of Americans for the Arts, the nation’s nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education.
The Americans for the Arts Emerging Leaders program works to identify and cultivate the next generation of arts leaders in America. It provides an ideal way for new leaders to share their interests with others as they continue to develop their skills and their commitment to the arts. New professionals are valuable to the arts community, and the 15 members of the Emerging Leaders Council are dedicated to ensuring that a bright and democratic future for the arts in America continues for generations to come.
“The Emerging Leaders Council serves an important role in helping Americans for the Arts carry out one of its primary goals of strengthening an informed leadership,” says Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts. “Todd has been an exceptional leader within his own community, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the national council.”

Theatre Trivia

Theatre History
In 1850, theatre in New York City began to migrate from its original downtown location (the first theatre was in the Financial District), to midtown Manhattan in search of less expensive real estate.. (My, how the tides have turned.) By 1870, the heart of Broadway was in Union Square, and by the end of the century, Madison Square hosted the prodigious theaters and their patrons. New York Theatre did not nestle comfortably into its Times Square home until the early 1900s, and it wasn’t until the 1920s and '30s, when a large number of theaters were built around the square, that the area became the icon we know today.
Theatre Dictionary
A theatrical property, commonly referred to as a prop, is an object used on stage by actors incidentally or to further the plot or story line of a theatrical production. Smaller props are referred to as "hand props." (Like the diner menus & Dorothy's towel in EYE OF GOD, or the Scotch glasses used by Richard & Tish in THE SOLDIER DREAMS.) Larger props may also be set decoration, such as a chair or table. The difference between a set decoration and a prop is use. If the item is not touched by a performer for any reason it is simply a set decoration.. If it is touched by the actor in accordance to script requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a prop.
