Thom studied Industrial Design at Georgia Institute of Technology. After realizing his heart was truly

in glass blowing, his father suggested a year of glass technology studies from Salem Technical Institute in Salem, New Jersey.

Thom headed north to Minneapolis where he found his own artistic identity.

The next 5 years constituted the most evolutionary period in Thom’s career

in terms of form, ideas and design. In 1986, Thom rejoined the Lillie Group to share the modern and sophisticated approaches he found in Midwestern art.

Thom has the unique ability to conceive an idea, sketch it for symmetry and technique, and fi nally transform it into a tangible, crystal sculpture. Many of Thom’s sculptures refl ect his personality and interests. Some of his more recent designs have never been attempted before and they represent challenges and developmental procedures

You are a graduate of Manhattan School of Music…what brought you to Atlanta?

I was a bit lost after I graduated and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I moved home to Clearwater, Florida and I was just so bored. I decided to look for a graduate program, but I waited too long and missed the application deadlines for the schools that I was interested in attending. I had a friend that suggested I attend UGA. I called the voice department, told them my story and they accepted me after an audition. I only attended UGA for one year because my father had a stroke which took me out of class a lot the second semester. Graduate school wasn’t for me anyway. The private teacher that I had at UGA, Dr. Stephanie Tingler, suggested I head over to Atlanta to study with Elizabeth Colson. That sounded fun, so I rented an apartment off of Northside Dr and started working at the Estee Lauder counter at Parisian’s at Phipps Plaza. My main goal was to study and work on technique for a while.

Where are you from originally?My father was in the Army for most of my childhood, so I lived all over

the southeast, Germany, Kansas, Maryland…but I was born in Augusta, Ga.

Do you enjoy living in Atlanta more than other places you have lived?

For years, I was doing everything I could to have a career in opera every where but here in Atlanta. I wanted to sing in Germany, I wanted to

sing on Broadway, etc. I thought that I had to have these milestones in my career to prove that I was a great singer. There are so many talented people in this city. Many people think that the best singers or performers live in New York or LA, but the truth is that many of the best and talented wanted more out of life than those cities could offer. I lived in New York and I left. It is a lonely town. Atlanta is where I met my husband, bought my fi rst home and have friends and family. It is home.

What type of performing have you done here in Atlanta?I have been fortunate to sing with many companies around town as well as at Carnegie Hall!

Atlanta is a very small town when it comes to classical music. I have learned that you have to make your own opportunities and let people know that you are here. I spent so many years trying to leave Atlanta that I never planted my feet here. I have since changed my ways and I am well planted here.

cast me as Josephine in HMS Pinafore. Since then, I have sung with the Gwinnett Symphony, Cobb Symphony, Capitol City Opera and many guest appearances at churches, functions and concerts. I perform mostly around the southeast in regional theater and concerts.

You were recently cast as Violetta in La Traviata with Capitol City Opera. It is widely known that this role is a very challenging role to portray. How did you prepare?

You are absolutely correct. This is a role that every soprano hopes that they will have an opportunity at one point in their life to sing. I am fortunate that Capitol City Opera has given me that opportunity! Violetta is a role that is known for being challenging due to the vocal demands and the need for a solid portrayal of the character though acting. You are on stage singing for a long time—it is a very large role! I began researching the role by reading the history of the “real” person that the role of Violetta was based, Marie Duplesis. She was romantically involved with the playwright Alexandre Dumas who eventually wrote a play about her (La Dame aux Camélias) from which Verdi based his opera. Marie Duplesis was a courtesan who was involved with many noble and important fi gures in history such as Dumas and Franz Liszt. The play is interesting to read because the opera leaves out a large section between when Violetta meets Alfredo for the fi rst time and when she professes her love for him and travels to the country with him. It shows more of Violetta’s personality and the true test she put herself through before conceding her love for Alfredo. I also spent countless hours singing the vocal lines into my voice and working on my vocal stamina. The music is so beautiful that I don’t believe I will ever get tired of singing it and discovering all of the nuances.

You have performed with Capitol City Opera in the past. Why do you enjoy performing with them?

In European countries, namely Germany, it is common for a singer to get what is called a “house” contract. This allows for a singer to stay at one opera house for a season, but usually longer. The singer has an apartment, gets a salary and is invested in the retirement system. We do not have any such system in the US that provides singers an opportunity to be “normal” or to settle into a regular performing schedule or salary. There is a void in our arts community for opera singers. CCO has created an outlet for those wishing to attend the opera as well as those who want to perform. Because of their love for the art form and for the singers, they have created

this opportunity by producing great operas at affordable ticket prices for audiences that truly love opera. Donna Angel created a wonderful and supportive work environment for local singers and Michael Nutter is taking over the reigns and looking forward to being a little more adventurous with the programming, for instance, taking on Traviata was a large task. Where else am I going to have the opportunity to sing Violetta at this point in my life without leaving my family? Although it has been postponed, it will be a wonderful production when it is re-programmed for next season.

Don’t worry “the show will go on”!For more info visit www.ccityopera.com.

Twenty fi ve years is a long time in a career these days, and Stephanie Lee of Georgia Tech’s Ferst Center for the Arts is surprised to look back and fi nd she’s spent that long promoting and managing the arts in Atlanta. She began at the Center for Puppetry Arts in 1984, moved

to the Alliance Theatre for 13 years, and is now both Marketing Director and Interim Director of the Ferst Center,

“Twenty fi ve years ago the arts in Atlanta were lively but it was a much smaller community of artists. I think the city is a much better place for living because of the infl uence and growth of all aspects of the arts community. This has been a hard year for everyone—we used to think we made sacrifi ces by working in the arts but now we really know what that means.”

Recalling her fi rst arts job interview, Lee talks about how things often come full circle. “I showed up for my interview at the puppet center in a blue suit and pumps—it was 1984 and we were all reading Dress for Success,” she laughs. “Although much has changed, I still wear a blue suit, and this summer we will host a puppetry festival at Georgia Tech, so for me it’s full circle with fashion and puppets.”

Taking a job at the Ferst Center meant working in a campus environment to promote music, comedy and contemporary dance to both a public and campus audience.

“I fi nd that it’s easy to get so wrapped up in the business of the arts that I almost forget how live performance can take my breath away. So watching the shows and attending our arts enrichment workshops keeps me inspired and focused. Actually that’s good advice for everyone—seeing a great live show puts stress aside for a little while and helps you key into the good parts of living.”

Her advice for getting through an economic downturn: “Whether it’s at an arts center, an elementary school or your neighbor’s garage band—go see a show!”

NATIONAL BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL GROWING THE DREAM

BY DR. COLLETTE HOPKINS

his summer the National Black Arts Festival’s (NBAF) Education and Family Programs unveil their multi-media Children’s Education Village. Since its inception, NBAF’s Children’s Education Village has delighted and engaged thousands of children, and their families, in the history and culture of Africa and the African Diaspora. NBAF

continues that tradition this year with its multi-year, multi-media Growing the Dream project.

Based on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Growing the Dream project features a child-sized replica of King’s historic boyhood home. Children and adults are invited to tour the home and to participate in a variety of interactive experiences while learning the songs, speeches and events of this courageous period of history. Did you know that Dr. King traveled to Africa? How old was Dr. King when he graduated from college? Learn facts about the life of Dr. King from middle and high school students who serve as Village docents under the mentorship of college interns.

In addition to the Growing the Dream interactive installation, the Children’s Education Village continues Partners’ Row! NBAF invites partner institutions and organizations serving children and families to share their programs with Village participants. Activities include puppetry, storytelling, quilt making, animation and other amazing hands-on activities for children of all ages.

NBAF also presents a series of workshops for educators, parents and youth during the summer festival on Saturday, August 1st. This year’s workshops build on the Growing the Dream

theme of the 2009 Children’s Education Village and include Teaching the Dream, 10:00 - Noon; Parenting the Dream, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. and Leading the Dream, 3:15 - 5:00 p.m. Seating is limited for these free workshops and pre-registration is required.

THE ARTISTRY OF MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER CHESTER HIGGINS

By Mike Stiles

There’s something really funny going on just outside of Decatur. About three years ago, a band of wandering sketch comedy writers and actors who’d been working together since 2001 put down roots and established their very own theatre. And what’s happened to Sketchworks

since has been nothing short of the birth of an Atlanta comedy institution, not unlike what other cities have to be proud of with Second City in Chicago and The Groundlings in LA. But this isn’t improv.These are fully scripted shows featuring sketches and fi lms of one to six minutes each that are perfect for today’s short attention span comedy lover. For those who dare to become part of the bizarre little Sketchworks family, the theatre also offer classes in sketch writing and acting.

Sketchworks has four main stage shows scheduled for the 2009 season. Most shows run six weekends on Friday and Saturday nights, plus a Sunday matinee. Also offered are student showcases for adults, and for teens. But while Sketchworks is introducing a teen version, main stage shows are defi nitely for the grown ups, because the comedy that comes from these fertile minds knows no bounds. Tickets are $20 at the door and $17 in advance, but groups of 10 or more always get in for $10 per ticket. Season passes are available.

Seeing a Sketchworks show is a truly unique Atlanta comedy experience. The theatre is located at 3041 N. Decatur Rd. Scottdale GA 30079. Call 404-499-8181, or visit the web site, www.sketchworkscomedy.com to get all the info, order tickets, and watch Sketchworks videos!

Beginning with the 2008 production of In The Solitude of the Cotton Fields,

7 Stages Theater began the U.S. Koltes Project. The goal of establishing the

Koltes Project is to translate and produce six of Koltes’ plays over the course

of 10 year’s time.

The premiers will include The Day of Murders in the History of Hamlet (Le Jour

des Meurtres dans l’histoire d’Hamlet), Sallinger, The Night Just Before the Forests

(La Nuit juste avant les Forêts), Tabataba and Quay West (Quai Ouest), in addition

to In The Solitude of the Cotton Fields (Dans la Solitude des Champs de Coton).

The plays were chosen for their remarkable ability to address the human

condition. The chosen works speak directly to the predicaments currently facing

citizens of the United States while simultaneously recognizing the more global

citizenship affecting us all. Koltes’ plays involve themes such as intense isolation,

deal-making, senseless war, and misplaced national loyalty.

Bernard-Marie Koltes was born in 1948 to a middle-class family. During the

1980s, he emerged as one of the most distinctive, notable, and important dramatic

voices in theater. His work never strays from real-life problems and expresses tragedies

such as loneliness, aloneness, and death. As a talented writer and dramatist, his plays

are stylistically crafted to accent dramatic tensions and lyricisms. In addition to

In The Solitude of the Cotton Fields, Koltes is also well known for his play

The Night Just Before the Forests (1977).

7 Stages theater will be presenting a world premier of each work every other

year continuing 2016. Each off year will be fi lled with residencies at national and

international universities. The next installment will be shown during the spring of

their 2009 - 2010 season with The Day of Murders in the History of Hamlet

(Le Jour des Meurtres dans l’histoire d’Hamlet). To view more information on the

U.S. Koltes project, please visit www.7stages.org.

SpotlightsNew Center Theatre Takes the Stage in Atlanta!

Center Theatre is thrilled to take the stage as Atlanta’s newest professional theater company. Housed in the MJCCA’s beautiful Morris & Rae Frank Theatre, (5342 Tilly Mill Road,

Dunwoody), Center Theatre was created to produce work with broad, far-reaching appeal for theatre-

goers of all ages, faiths and interests. The new mission: simply to offer quality programs that will both entertain and enlighten.

One new element that has already appealed to many Atlanta theatre-goers is that, in addition to its ‘mainstage season’ on its own stage, Center Theatre is reaching out to the in-town community by producing one show each year at the 14th Street Playhouse in Midtown. Another new Center Theatre addition is its Teen Theatre program, which will feature Atlanta area teens performing on its stage. This year’s production is the popular Disney’s High School Musical which opens in February ’09. All Center Theatre productions draw from the pool of Atlanta’s theater professionals to maintain the highest possible production values. Hall says, “If you are a theatre lover, there is a production here for you at Center Theatre. Let us entertain you!”

Take the A-Train to Billy Strayhorn Musical Salute

“Satin Doll. “Take the A-Train.” America grew up with these big-band/jazz hits made famous by Duke Ellington, Lena Horne and others. Few knew the songs were by Billy Strayhorn—an openly gay, black man who chose to stay outside the spotlight in an era of dual prejudice against his race and sexual orientation.

The Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus and Jazz Orchestra Atlanta are proud to join together Saturday, August 1 in Symphony Hall for the Macy’s presentation of “Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn.” The program is part of the National Black Arts Festival.

Along with the music itself—in shimmering arrangements by Grammy Award-winning arranger Alan Broadbent—the event

includes a script written by and featuring Donzaleigh Abernathy, daughter of Rev. Ralph David Abernathy and a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, who knew Strayhorn and supported him as an openly gay man.

The concert will be co-directed by AGMC’s Kevin Robison and Jazz Orchestra Atlanta’s Brent Runnels. Billy Strayhorn will be played by John Wesley Wright, a Rome, GA native who tours internationally as a soloist with the American Spiritual Ensemble.

See www.agmchorus.org for details and tickets.

Atlanta Chamber Players at the TavernThe Atlanta Chamber Players proudly

inaugurate “Chamber Music at the Tavern” on the evening of Tuesday, May 19th. This performance at the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern provides an unusual opportunity to enjoy a British pub menu and libation in a tavern setting, while listening to intimate and exciting chamber music performed by some of Atlanta’s top classical musicians. The music will range from the romantic to the jazzy to the sublime. The concert includes “Atlanta Licks”; a work commissioned by ACP from American composer Jonathan Kramer which includes exciting solo “licks” with strong jazz overtones. Also on offer: a trio for the unusual combination of oboe, horn and piano by von Herzogenberg, a contemporary and friend of Brahms. Featured on the program is the beloved late masterpiece by Beethoven—the Opus 130 string quartet. The Atlanta Chamber Players always look for new and interesting
