Spotlight on the Arts: Cabaret
A unique musical theatre experience, “Cabaret” captures the angst and the passions of a disparate group of characters living in Berlin, Germany in 1931. As Nazism spreads across Europe, they seek to drown their fears of an uncertain future at a place called The Kit Kat Klub.
The lead performers in a new production of “Cabaret” by The Arizona Theatre Company, Madison Micucci and Sean Patrick Doyle, sit down with host Mark McLemore. The Arizona Theatre Company production of “Cabaret” runs through December 29th at the Temple of Music and Art, before heading to Phoenix for a run from January 4th to the 26th.
Cabaret at Phoenix Theatre
During my final year of my masters at Arizona State University, my graduating musical theatre class was given the project of creating our own cabarets. I had the sincere joy and privilege to work with Robert Kolby Harper and Dr. Jeff Kennedy from Phoenix Theatre to help create this unforgettable evening of entertainment.
Please enjoy my cabaret, titled Identity Through Heartbreak

Arizona Opera Presents Fellow Travelers
AMERICA IN THE 1950’s.
Was it Leave it to Beaver…or House of Cards?
The answer often depended upon who you loved.
Arizona Opera presents Fellow Travelers, the story of Hawkins, an official with the State Department, who falls in love with Timothy, a recent Fordham University graduate. Can their love survive in secrecy as Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Lavender Scare runs rampant across America?
Fellow Travelers is a powerfully compelling musical production that is also an ode to the importance of being one’s self and the bravery that it takes to stand up to oppression.
“Rapturous music of almost cinematic lushness…a near-perfect example of fast-flowing musical drama.” The New York Times

Waddell's work, called Rising was just recently completed after eleven years of hard work. Waddell hopes to find a home for this collection, possibly in New York as a dedication to the victims of 911. Chielis music, Jewel in the Desert Sky was originally released as Jewels back in 1995 and was recently reworked, remixed, rearranged and completely rewritten, in collaboration with Lanzaro who lives in Germany. This process of completing the new rendition all took place via cyberspace! Fall to the Sky embraces the human spirit in search of enlightenment and peace. This premiere collaboration is dedicated to the memories of loved ones lost to disease, war and all tragedies.

The State of Arizona declare April 30th Int'l Jazz Day
International Jazz Day Unites Jazz Enthusiasts Around the State of Arizona
By Karen Flemister
Jazz. This music genre has seen its own peaks and valleys in terms of popularity. Periodically jazz has been written off as obsolete, a formerly popular music category left for the archives of history. Well, rumors of the death of jazz are greatly exaggerated. There is a person in Arizona who refuses to sit idly by while jazz music fades away into the dustbin of history. He is actually using jazz as a mechanism to build bridges between politicians from both sides of the aisle and residents throughout the state.
The front of the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona will be the site for Jazz At Lunch Time on April 26, 2017 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Several State Senators and House Representatives, including the Speaker of the House, have committed to participating in this event. Local mayors from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Douglas, and Tucson, will be VIP guests in attendance. Dr. William “Doc” Jones is the coordinator bringing entities together to promote the 6th Annual International Jazz Day in Arizona. He hopes to soon collaborate with Gov. Doug Ducey and the state legislature to subsequently make April 30th a day of Jazz Celebration in the state, perhaps even leading to a state holiday. This Annual International Jazz Day Celebration will be held in three locations, the Mesa Arts Center, Herberger Theater, and the Arizona State Capitol, with performances by some of the top jazz artists in America.
According to Doc Jones, a jazz artist in his own right, “This really is becoming a Movement. I’m currently part of a select group that is carrying the banner for the spirit and soul of Jazz music.” Although currently a solo idea that is unifying the state around the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Jazz Day’s declaration, Jones has relentlessly been building bridges throughout the state for this cause. He has been a unifying force in the state across party lines and among people of various races to make jazz a force to be reckoned with. Being a unifier in a state sometimes known to be hesitant to fully celebrate its great diversity is a major feat. Ducey has been forging partnerships between Gov. Claudia Popovich of Sonora, Mexico and the state of Arizona to find common ground by building business partnerships. Jones plans to bring her along as a welcoming bridge to the Mexican people through the art form of jazz music.
Several state leaders, including Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane, Mesa Mayor John Giles, Douglas Mayor Robert Uribe, and Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild have recorded proclamations in support of Arizona’s International Jazz Day Celebration. Arizona’s Governor has created a video in support of this special day. House Representative’s Member Reginald Bolden will read a Proclamation for the celebration on the floor of the State House. Two mayors from Sonora, Mexico, Omar Salas, and Kiko Munro have also added great support through recorded proclamations. State officials from a few other cities are also backing the celebration.
UNESCO designated April 30th as International Jazz Day in November 2011 to unite nations and people through highlighting the importance of jazz. Famed Jazz Artist Herbie Hancock, UNESCO Ambassador for Intercultural Dialogue, is pushing International Jazz Day around the world as a global phenomenon. He also is the Chairman of the Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz that promotes this day for artists, historians, academic scholars, schools and communities throughout the world.
As the Executive Director of International Jazz Day AZ Foundation, Jones uses his organization to teach children the art of playing jazz from kindergarten forward in school programs. He also imparts his knowledge of jazz history to those lesser informed. The work of this Foundation is his way of giving back to the community and raising awareness and promoting love for jazz music to the next generation. Jones is inviting corporations to get on board the “Jazz Train,” becoming title sponsors for his Foundation and helping unify the state for International Jazz Day this year and beyond. Everyone is invited to come out to all events and support the growth of jazz in the state of Arizona. For more information visit jazzdayaz.com.
