Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) is holding auditions for The Yeomen of the Guard, or the Merryman and His Maid on Monday, September 9th, Tuesday, September 10th, and Wednesday, September 11th at the Student Theater Arts Complex (STAC), 1201 Kipke Drive in Ann Arbor (directly east of the U-M football stadium) from 7:00 – 10:00 pm. All roles are available for SATB principals and chorus; cast will be selected from the audition pool with no pre-casting. All are welcome to audition, including students, faculty / staff, and general community members of Ann Arbor / Southeast Michigan area. To sign up for an audition time you may either attend the UMGASS Mass Meeting at 7:00 pm on Sunday, September 8th at the Michigan League, or e-mail umgassexec@umich.edu to have a member of the board sign you up by proxy. Walk-ins are also welcome; please arrive before 9:00 pm if you plan to walk-in. Callbacks (if necessary) will be held on the evening of Thursday, September 12th.

Please prepare ~32-64 bars of a selection from musical theater, comic opera, or opera (in English), and provide a legible copy for the accompanist. Be prepared to read selections from the libretto if you are interested in a speaking role. There will be no dance audition for this production. Rehearsals will average two days per week between Sunday afternoon and Thursday evening for both chorus and principals. Production dates are December 5 – 8, 2019, at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater in the Michigan League, with full staging and full orchestra.

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) was founded in 1947 and is the oldest student-run society nationwide dedicated to performing the operettas of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Each year we bring together students and community members for two fully staged productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, which are performed with orchestra at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in downtown Ann Arbor. The quality of our productions sets a high standard for community G&S companies, and our performances, particularly of the lesser-known works of the canon, are benchmarks for similar organizations around the country and the world.

We’re proud to be a great place for future performing arts professionals as well as a creative outlet for students, professors, and community members of all ages looking to blow off steam and have a good time participating in a great show!

The Yeomen of the Guard was the 11th collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The story takes place at the Tower of London, where the heroic Colonel Fairfax is scheduled to be executed the following morning on questionable grounds. The Colonel’s heirs will be disinherited if he dies unmarried, and so he finds a short-term bride in the strolling player, Elsie Maynard – much to the chagrin of her infatuated traveling partner, the jester Jack Point. Meanwhile, the Colonel’s friends and admirers work for his release – or for his escape, if necessary. Will the Colonel, his impetuous marriage, and the broken-hearted jester all survive until the final curtain? This time there will be no last-minute topsy-turvy revelation to prevent the story’s dramatic conclusion.

Yeomen of the Guard will be directed by David Andrews, who most recently directed UMGASS’s 2018 production of The Grand Duke, and who will be directing with UMGASS for the eighth time, among his 22 semesters with the group. Music Director for this production will be Ezra Donner, a U-M alumnus with a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University, who conducted previous UMGASS productions of The Mikado, Patience, HMS Pinafore, and The Pirates of Penzance between 2015 and 2017. The Choreographer will be UMGASS veteran Beth Ballbach, who choreographed recent UMGASS productions of Princess Ida, Iolanthe, The Grand Duke, and The Gondoliers, among many others.

Audition for The Yeomen of the Guard (September 11, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65580 65580-16619778@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 11, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) is holding auditions for The Yeomen of the Guard, or the Merryman and His Maid on Monday, September 9th, Tuesday, September 10th, and Wednesday, September 11th at the Student Theater Arts Complex (STAC), 1201 Kipke Drive in Ann Arbor (directly east of the U-M football stadium) from 7:00 – 10:00 pm. All roles are available for SATB principals and chorus; cast will be selected from the audition pool with no pre-casting. All are welcome to audition, including students, faculty / staff, and general community members of Ann Arbor / Southeast Michigan area. To sign up for an audition time you may either attend the UMGASS Mass Meeting at 7:00 pm on Sunday, September 8th at the Michigan League, or e-mail umgassexec@umich.edu to have a member of the board sign you up by proxy. Walk-ins are also welcome; please arrive before 9:00 pm if you plan to walk-in. Callbacks (if necessary) will be held on the evening of Thursday, September 12th.

Please prepare ~32-64 bars of a selection from musical theater, comic opera, or opera (in English), and provide a legible copy for the accompanist. Be prepared to read selections from the libretto if you are interested in a speaking role. There will be no dance audition for this production. Rehearsals will average two days per week between Sunday afternoon and Thursday evening for both chorus and principals. Production dates are December 5 – 8, 2019, at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater in the Michigan League, with full staging and full orchestra.

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) was founded in 1947 and is the oldest student-run society nationwide dedicated to performing the operettas of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Each year we bring together students and community members for two fully staged productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, which are performed with orchestra at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in downtown Ann Arbor. The quality of our productions sets a high standard for community G&S companies, and our performances, particularly of the lesser-known works of the canon, are benchmarks for similar organizations around the country and the world.

We’re proud to be a great place for future performing arts professionals as well as a creative outlet for students, professors, and community members of all ages looking to blow off steam and have a good time participating in a great show!

The Yeomen of the Guard was the 11th collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The story takes place at the Tower of London, where the heroic Colonel Fairfax is scheduled to be executed the following morning on questionable grounds. The Colonel’s heirs will be disinherited if he dies unmarried, and so he finds a short-term bride in the strolling player, Elsie Maynard – much to the chagrin of her infatuated traveling partner, the jester Jack Point. Meanwhile, the Colonel’s friends and admirers work for his release – or for his escape, if necessary. Will the Colonel, his impetuous marriage, and the broken-hearted jester all survive until the final curtain? This time there will be no last-minute topsy-turvy revelation to prevent the story’s dramatic conclusion.

Yeomen of the Guard will be directed by David Andrews, who most recently directed UMGASS’s 2018 production of The Grand Duke, and who will be directing with UMGASS for the eighth time, among his 22 semesters with the group. Music Director for this production will be Ezra Donner, a U-M alumnus with a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University, who conducted previous UMGASS productions of The Mikado, Patience, HMS Pinafore, and The Pirates of Penzance between 2015 and 2017. The Choreographer will be UMGASS veteran Beth Ballbach, who choreographed recent UMGASS productions of Princess Ida, Iolanthe, The Grand Duke, and The Gondoliers, among many others.

The event will include a re-staging of the landmark performance of artist Faith Wilding’s poem “Waiting” by Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist, Arturo Herrera.Participatory readings will be led by artists Chace “Mic Write” Morris and Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe.After the readings we will announce the Feminist FuturesReading List for upcoming series events. Enjoy a live DJ and refreshments.

Feminist Futures: Art, Design and Activism is an ongoing event series exploring the role of feminism in art, design, scholarship, and politics. The series brings together multigenerational artists and thinkers in contemporary art, design, art history, and related fields who have shaped, and are shaping, current discourses on gender and the fight for equality.

Arturo Herrera is an interdisciplinary artist based in Detroit, Michigan. Herrera explores issues across national boundaries, including the politics of race and language, borders, and self-disclosure of sexual orientation. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine art in Canada, at the University of Windsor, with concentrations in sculpture, photography, and performance art. Herrera’s most recent presentation was at the Detroit Historical Museum, as part of the show Looking For America, an event organized by the New American Economy, American University School of Public Affairs, and CuriosityConnects.us. Previously, his work has been presented at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Venice International Performance Art Week in Venice, Italy.

Chace Morris (Mic Write) is a poet/emcee from Detroit. He is currently working on the 2nd installment of his critically-acclaimed EP, ONUS Chain, a video trilogy & music EP hailed by Okayplayer as “one of the best protest records of 2016.” Chace is a 2018 MAP Fund recipient, 2-time Knight Arts Challenge recipient, a Kresge Literary Fellow, a Callaloo Fellow, 2-time Rustbelt Poetry Slam Champion & the recipient of the 2016 Alain Locke Award from the Detroit Institute Of Arts. His poems have been published in The Offing, Wildness, Muzzle, Drunk In A Midnight Choir & Radius— once nominated for a Pushcart Prize— & his music has been featured on Bandcamp Daily, NPR, The Village Voice, Detroit Free Press, Mother Jones & NBC’s The Grio. He is also a contributing writer to Black Nerd Problems & constant artistic partner of Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe. Sherina is proud to have collaborated with her partner, Chace Morris (Mic Write). Together, the duo produced C R O S S R O A D at the Detroit Institute of Arts in October, 2017.

Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe is a writer, editor, performer & educator from Detroit, MI. She is a 2018 MAP grant awardee, a 2017 Knight Arts Challenge awardee, a 2014 Kresge Theater fellow, a 2014 Cave Canem fellow, 2013 Voices of Our Nations Authors alum, executive director of Obsidian Blues and co-founder of the C R O S S R O A D collective. Her 2015 play “On Becoming Unfukwitable” forged new dramatic territory with a searing insight into how a daughter transcends molestation by her father. The production blends healing practices and multiple genres to create a group story-telling experience. Her ability to create a safe space for survivors makes “Unfukwitable” an insightful, evocative, liberating and transformative experience. Her latest project, *** *****, uses art to create a healing vibration to transcend trauma.

Feminist Futures: Art, Design & Activism Series is organized by Stamps Gallery and co-sponsored by the Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+): Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund with support from the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG) and the U-M Library.

Live event canceled: To limit the potential spread of respiratory viruses and safeguard those at highest risk of catching COVID-19, the University of Michigan has canceled all live events with estimated attendance of over 100 people.

As a result, live Penny Stamps Speaker Series events will not take place as scheduled. When possible, our weekly presentations will be available online: video presentations will be announced via email and on the Stamps website (https://stamps.umich.edu/stamps).

New York-based artist Abigail DeVille creates immersive works and installations designed to bring attention to forgotten stories, such as with the sculpture she built on the site of a former African American burial ground in Harlem. With family roots reaching back at least two generations, DeVille’s work about New York City is both personal and political. Acting as an archaeologist, DeVille collects and reallocates found materials to give physical presence to unspoken stories and forgotten pasts. Her work often focuses around themes of displacement, migration, marginalization, and cultural invisibility. As an extension of her installation practice, DeVille also designs sets for theatrical productions, including the Stratford Festival in Canada and Harlem Stage. Her work is part of some of the most prestigious collections in the world and has been exhibited internationally, including at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; the Pinchuk Art Centre in Ukraine; the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. An honors fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, a Creative Capital grantee, and an OBIE Award for Design recipient, DeVille is currently in residence at the American Academy in Rome.

Co-presented with the U-M Institute for Humanities, presenting No Space Hidden (Under Heaven), an exhibition of work by Abigail DeVille, on view at the IH Gallery April 1–May 7, 2020. There will be an exhibition reception at the IH Gallery following this event. Additional support for this speaker series event from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).
