Glencliff Comprehensive High School goes to Broadway

TPAC Education selected Glencliff Comprehensive High School as the school in which they would work with its drama students to demonstrate the various areas of the creative process and its presentation. Glencliff is the most diverse high school in Tennessee. The student body currently represents over 40 different countries and nationalities. This project paralleled the award winning Broadway play “In the Heights”, presented by TPAC in March 2011.

TPAC enlisted Mimosa Arts to document in video and stills the project primarily funded by the Broadway League. The project started in November of 2010 and continued over the next several weeks.

The students were charged with conceiving, writing and performing their own “In the Cliff” presentation, which was performed at Glencliff Comprehensive High School on December 8, 2010. Then, all students involved in the project were invited to TPAC on March 26, 2011 to meet and work with the actors from the “In the Heights” play before the show. Later that day the students were all treated to an “In the Heights” performance as special guests of TPAC.

Through this whole process and documentation, Karan and I were truly touched at the love and wonderful cooperation these talented students shared. These students are from very diverse backgrounds yet they are very open and sharing with each other! They each have each other's backs.

The following video highlights the activities of the project and the many triumphs of the students.

TPAC'S HOUSE CONCERT SERIES

Concert 01
Angel Snow with Viktor Krauss

Our lovely friends and business partners at TPAC opened their House Concert Series on Thursday, August 26th, to a full house anxious to hear Angel Snow with Viktor Krauss. The intimate musical evening, in true TPAC form, seemed effortless, causal and low key; belying the work and coordination required to make an event feel like dessert to the end of a long day.


Craft Studio, owned by Tony and Iris Baker, was the ideal setting for the opening of this House Concert Series. Located at 709 2nd Avenue South in Nashville, Craft Studio is a combination of photography studio and event space.


Tony, a well-known Nashville photographer, and Iris, his equally well-known wife and producer, envisioned just such events taking place in their studio as they were designing the space, which opened in early 2010.

In talking with Iris after the event, Harry and I both could sense her excitement in seeing their hard work realized and the encouragement the success of the evening brought to her. Iris, we look forward to working together and visiting with you and Tony again soon!
Concert guests were offered delicious food selections from Saffire Restaurant, including Beef Tenderloin Biscuits, Cucumber Shrimp Pico de Gallo, Country Ham Profiteroles and Crunchy Crawfish Sushi. Thank you, Jessie Goldstein! Saffire Restaurant is located in Building 11 of The Factory in Franklin, TN. Go there! Tell them we sent you…

Wine for the evening was provided by Liberty School Wines and Lipman Brothers. And grateful acknowledgement to Sarah Norman with Coca Cola for providing colas and water!


Fortunately for all of us, Angel is planning to release a new CD in the near future. She and Viktor have co-written many songs and their live performance is a musical treat.

Angel’s previous release, Fortune Tellers, is available for download via CD Baby and iTunes. You won’t be disappointed if you take a listen and we’re certain you’ll feel the power to help a worthy artist by purchasing the tunes.

Thank you, TPAC, for what promises to be the destination house concert in Nashville...
