The Blue Barn Theater, one of America's best things

Image
The Blue Barn Theater named by Slate magazine one of the eight Best Things America Built in 2016 Slate has named the Blue Barn Theater,  which inaugurated its own performance space last year  in Omaha, Nebraska, as one of the eight Best Things America Built in 2016.  My little sister,  Michelle Zacharia  has been involved with the Blue Barn in publicity design, set design, props, costuming, and as an actress, since the organization's infancy. The theater had functioned out of a rented space in the artsy Old Market District of Omaha since the late 1980s, and have performed in far-flung locations like an abandoned train station. Congratulations, Blue Barn, Mishy, and  Susan Clement , Artistic Director! And thank you, Slate, for being a publication with a conscience!

Hi Friends! It has been a while. I've kept busy with work and have been learning how to use Canva for designing greetings and illustrations. Also, may I say, I've been blessed to avoid getting Covid, knock on wood. But the pandemic reinforced a tendency to hermit and wiped me out emotionally.

Please take a moment to visit my new shop on RedBubble, filling up with cool objects with some of my artwork and photos that only get printed on demand. I welcome your visits, likes, and shares.

Streaming Playlist of the Women of Jazz

Image
Today was a mournful day in world history, where a would-be despot and the genuine article came together as like-minded individuals, their nations notwithstanding. I sat agape as American press were barred from televising interviews, instead, disseminating prepared statements. I feel very blue, and yet... ...I feel like I've uncovered a great treasure through no effort of my own. While browsing through Flipboard , I came upon an article in Open Culture , Women of Jazz Stream a Playlist of 91 Recordings by Great Female Jazz Musicians . Yes, a playlist of 91 recordings by great female jazz musicians!  Just as an idea of the beauty of this trove, the playlist features the great, Eartha Kitt performing "Cést si bon". T hink about the fact that many of the pieces were recorded in the early 20th century, a time when women had just begun their struggle for equality.  The article explains, " Part of the marginalization of women in jazz has to do with the same kin

Don't think Judge Gorsuch wouldn't overturn Roe v. Wade

He speaks in a mild-mannered way, and he has an honest record, but Judge Neil Gorsuch, nominee to the Supreme Court, bats Conservative. And think about who nominated him. It is essential to phone your representatives to protest Neil Gorsuch's confirmation to the Supreme Court if you want to keep a woman's right to choose. You can take a look at this article on the website of People for the American Way : Is Neil Gorsuch Walking Out the Door on Overturning  Roe ?
