    Yavapai College Performing Arts Center’s ‘Stage to Screen’ Streaming Party Begins with Jesus Christ Superstar Friday April 10

    Yavapai CollegePrescott AZ (April 9, 2020) – The stages may be empty for now. But the spirit of theatre is alive – and streaming.

    Yavapai College Performing Arts Center is joining legions of music and performance halls around the world by presenting filmed editions of great stage productions. YCPAC’s Stage to Screen Watch Party will blend a local, Zoom-led Curtain Talk with an iconic musical production, every Friday at 5 p.m., wherever you call home. The entire event is free of charge.

    Stage to Screen premieres this Friday, April 10 – Good Friday – with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s legendary rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

    Stage to Screen Watch PartyFrom the same people who brought you Social Distance Dinner Theater, the Stage to Screen Watch Party will start with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Shows Must Go On” initiative.  Stage to Screen will wrap pre- and post-show Zoom discussions around Webber’s most famous works (Superstar, Evita, Cats, Phantom of the Opera), as they are aired free on YouTube over the next several Fridays. Stage to Screen will then continue its Friday night screenings with a varied roster of classic musicals and plays.

    Stage to Screen adds an interactive element to viewing by prefacing each production with a live local Curtain Talk via Zoom. Friday’s 5 p.m. chat will feature YC Humanities Professor Suzanne (Sukey) Waldenberger, offering insights and background on the show. The curtain talk will conclude with a countdown. Viewers will then switch over to the musical on YouTube. (No log-in or password necessary.) Then, they can rejoin local theatre fans for a post-show discussion hosted by YC Film & Media Arts Director Helen Stephenson and Waldenberger.

    Stage to Screen is Yavapai College Performing Arts Center’s latest invention to provide the local community with entertainment during the coronavirus lockdown. “We want to create virtual communal events that are unique and give us all a fun launch into the weekends,” YCPAC Managing Director Stephenson explains. “With Stage to Screen on Friday night, and its Saturday-night film companion, Social Distance Dinner Theater, we hope to offer stage and cinema fans a chance to see, discuss, learn about and enjoy the art forms they love so much.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
