Ted Davenport plays Senex in Auburn’s version of “Forum”
Retired Skaneateles teacher to star in Auburn Theatre musical

Originally printed and published by The Skaneateless Press – January 2012
Auburn — When the curtain opens on the Auburn Players Community Theatre’s winter musical, Skaneateles residents will see a familiar face in one of the leading roles.
Former Skaneateles High School English and drama teacher Ted Davenport will be featured in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” as Senex, the long-suffering husband who becomes infatuated with the courtesan whom he thinks is his new maid.
“I’ve been in this show but never played this part before,” Davenport said. “I’m 74 and going to be singing and dancing on the stage. When I told a friend of mine that she said, ‘You?’”
The musical was the first attempt at a Broadway score by composer Stephen Sondheim, but although most other aspects of the show garnered Tony nominations (and won seven, including Best Musical), Sondheim was mostly ignored. Since its opening in 1962 with Zero Mostel in the role of Pseudolus, the slave who will do anything to win his freedom, the show has enjoyed numerous revivals as well as a 1966 movie starring Mostel, Phil Silvers and Buster Keaton.
Director Barbara Murphy says this is one of her favorite musicals and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to direct the comedy, which is loosely based on the style of the ancient playwright Plautus.
“It’s very rarely done, and hasn’t been done around here in a long, long time. That’s why I chose it,” Murphy said. “I think it will be popular with older people who remember the movie.”
“Forum” is a fast-paced physical comedy that includes outrageous puns, mistaken identities and exhausting chases with actors disguised as one other. While most musicals are written with many individual scenes, “Forum” is a physical test for the cast, with continuous action from start to finish, no scene changes, and the entire cast onstage for the majority of the show.
“It’s a great cast: they get along, they love each other, they work well together — it’s really fun,” Murphy said.
She said that Davenport, who has been with the Auburn Players since the 1970s, bring to the role of Senex a great comedic sense. “His comic timing and facial expressions are great. You’ve got to have the right timing for this production, and my leads all do,” Murphy said.
“It’s a wonderfully exciting, funny, funny, funny show,” Davenport said. “We do have a very good cast.”
Davenport retired in 1995 from Skaneateles High School. He started the drama club there, and directed his first musical, “Dinny and the Witches,” which was followed the next year by “West Side Story.”
He was helped create and was the project manager of the Dickens Christmas for five years, and strolled the streets as Mr. Dickens. However, Davenport is probably best known as the voice of the Friday Night Concerts in the gazebo at which the Skaneateles Community Band performs.
“The last time I played in [Forum] it was at the Skaneateles Playhouse in the late 60s, early 70s,” Davenport said. “
Davenport has been involved in all aspects of theatre for more than 60 years, having done productions in three colleges, four high schools, and 15 community groups, including “Appleseed,” “Theatre '90,” and “Syracuse Morning Musicals.”
He performed as Horace Vandergelder in “Hello, Dolly,” and as Bert in “42nd Street” at Turning Stone Casino, where he was adjudicated by Louis Gosset, Jr., who remarked, “I’d like to come study with you.”
A native of Texas, Davenport portrayed the Governor of Texas in The Auburn Players’ 1985 production of “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” which was also directed by Murphy.
In addition to the play’s acting intricacies, Sondheim’s score is a challenge as well; Lori Rhodes Pettit, who is also well-known to Skaneateles-area musicians, will be a familiar face at the keyboard, and is up to the task of executing Sondheim’s multiple key changes and complex harmonies.
The Players’ production will include actors from across the CNY area, such as Ithaca, Red Creek , Syracuse, Elbridge and Skaneateles.
Auburn attorney Simon Moody in the role of Pseudolus, along with Sharon Dec as Senex’s wife Domina, Jack Sherman as Hysterium, Thad Striffler as Hero, Sarah Bradstreet as Philia, Jeff Rowe as Captain Miles Gloriosus, and Stan Gutelius as Erronius. Players’ veteran Tony Saurini will be featured in his first musical role as Marcus Lycus, a buyer and seller of beautiful women.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” is choreographed by Anna Post, with musical direction by Stephen Stomps. Tom Hoey produced with Scenic Design by Novroz Dabu.
The show will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3 and 4, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 5, in the Irene A. Bisgrove Theatre at Cayuga Community College. Tickets are $14/General Admission and $12/Student/Senior Citizen, and are available at www.auburnplayers.net, or by calling 702-7832.

Mr. Davenport was bigger than life when I was a student there. He is a Skaneateles treasure! God Bless you Mr. Davenport for your passion for the arts. You have touched us all in a wonderful way! The last time I ran into you, I didn't think you remembered me. Much to my surprise, you gave me a huge hug. You, Coach B. Miss Wickes, Mr. D and Mr. H., and all the wonderful teachers I had at SCS made me the person I am today. Thanks!

College Announces Naming of Lobby in New Performing Arts Theatre
Auburn, NY (December 22, 2011) – Cayuga Community College is pleased to announce the naming of
the Joanne Foresman Lobby in the Schwartz Family Performing Arts Center. On December 21, 2011, the
Foresman family unveiled the gift to Joanne Foresman in a private ceremony. The family announced they
had made a gift to the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival to name the lobby to recognize Joanne
Foresman’s many contributions to the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse and the Auburn community.
Joanne first became involved with Auburn Children’s Theater (ACT) in the late 1960s. ACT was the
beginning of what is now the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse Youth Theatre, and Joanne dedicated countless
hours to performing in this program, which brought theatre to children in local schools. She served as the
Secretary for ACT and later as the President of the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse Board of Directors from
1978 to 1980. She co-chaired the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse’s 50th Year Anniversary celebration.

Theater Spotlight: $750,000 for Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival in Auburn, NY
Auburn, NY (December 12, 2011) – The Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival in Auburn, NY received a major boost with $751,450 in state funding awarded by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo last week.
The Central New York Regional Economic Development Council (CNY REDC) submitted its five-year strategic plan as part of a competition for $200 million of New York State economic development assistance awarded by the governor’s office, and the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival is a regionally significant project within the winning CNY REDC plan.
“The Central New York region has been tremendously supportive of the Festival, and with this recognition from the state, the Festival will be able to realize one of its new facilities even sooner,” said Ed Sayles, Producing Artistic Director of the Festival.
W.G. Allyn Scenic Production Studio.
$751,450 state economic development grant will be used to double the size of this production facility.
The Festival will use its portion of the state funds toward the expansion of its scenic design and set production facility.
“This is a considerable advancement for the Festival, which relies on the investments of many private donors to support our efforts,” said Michael Chamberlain, Managing Director of the Festival. “The funding will allow us to move from seasonal to year-round production facility, creating full-time skilled production jobs.”
Currently the production facility is used to build the sets and props for Merry-Go-Round Playhouse. This facility will need to double in size to support the shows at the Festival.
The Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival has surpassed the $10 million mark in private and public support. Launching in May 2012, the Festival is projected to draw 150,000 annual visitors, create hundreds of new jobs, and have a regional economic impact of nearly $30 million.

Cast for Auburn New York presentation of Candide at Cayuga Community College is announced
AUBURN, NY - The Auburn Players have announced the cast for their upcoming production of Leonard Bernstein's Candide. The comical story of a young man’s adventures as he travels the world in search of his one true love will be performed at Cayuga Community College on June 10th and 11th at 8 PM.
Starring in the title role is acclaimed actor Stephen Gamba. Gamba has performed with OnStage Atlanta, Galaxy Productions, and has directed for the Holly Theatre. Local audiences will remember him as Harold Hill in Skaneateles Summer Theatre’s production of Music Man, and the Cornelius Hackl in the Auburn Player’s season finale of Hello Dolly.
Playing his love Conegonde is Karen Barlett-Morse, who has performed locally with Masterworks Chorale, and Syracuse Vocal Ensemble. She has worked with Skaneateles Summer Theater and Salt City Performing Arts Center in Syracuse, and has also performed as a featured soloist with the Auburn Chamber Orchestra and Civic Morning Musicals of Syracuse.
Playing the dual roles of Voltaire and Candide's overly optimistic mentor Dr. Pangloss is Robert Kovak, who has been active in theater and opera in Syracuse, NC, HI, CA and even in Turkey. Popular Geneva pianist Meg Heaton, last seen in the Geneva Theatre Guild’s production of Gypsy appears as the Old Woman. Other Auburn Players’ favorites in the cast include: Ed Beck (Maximilian), Lesley C. Kennedy (Paquette), and Vera Carabajal (The Baroness of Thunder). Playing the denizens of two continents are: Alan Clugston, Emily Short, Dia Carabajal, Michaela Nicpon, Angela Reed, Brenda Kayn, Michaela Oney, Mathew Crawford, Matt Nilsen, Joe Townsend, Simon Moody, and Tony Saurini.
Candide is inspired by Voltaire's wickedly satirical novel. This musical masterpiece includes some of the greatest music ever written, with brilliantly witty lyrics by Richard Wilbur and additional lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, John LaTouche, Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman, and Leonard Bernstein himself.
This production is being performed “In Concert,” and is the Season Finale for the Auburn Players 50th Anniversary Season. The Auburn Players Community Theatre is one of the oldest and most prestigious community theatres in New York State.

____________________________________________________________________
Loren Barrigar is reminiscent of the late Chet Atkins whom he performed the track “Yakety Axe” from at just six years old at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to the delight of country fans, making him the youngest guitarist to perform on that famous stage. Barrigar is known for a relaxed but energetic stage presence which commands the audience’s attention with his easygoing, transitional and fluid movement between old time standards, rock and original tunes. Barrigar won a SAMMY award in 2009 for Best Country CD for his album, “Dance With Me”. Barrigar is also one of the founders of the Syracuse-based Guitar League which helps to benefit amateur musicians. You can listen to Loren Barrigar on his MySpace page by visitinghttp://www.myspace.com/thebarrigarbrothers.
Dusty Pas’cal is a Skaneateles resident who is compared lyrically to acoustic icon John Prine. Highly influenced by his songwriter father, who first put a guitar in Dusty’s hands at age thirteen, Dusty stays grounded about the music business, refusing to let its commercial aspect affect his creativity. “Writing music has never been about the money”, he’s said. He’d rather you hear the inconsistencies like the “pop” of the guitar strings in order to really experience and appreciate the art of music and performance. “I've always just had a real appreciation for the honesty of the music. I like to think of my albums as a sequence of life. So 20 years from now, I can look back at the songs and really know what was happening in my life at the time.” The ability to connect with his audience is a key element of Dusty.

Harlequin Productions of Cayuga Community College is pleased to announce that their production of "The Body Washer" by Rosemary Frisino Toohey has been invited to perform at the annual Theatre Association of NY State Festival. This prestigious state-wide competition will be held Nov. 19-21 in Batavia, NY.

"The Body Washer" features the talents of CCC students Lauren Maltese, Rachel Bodner and Lizzie Fennessy and tells of how an incident in the Afghanistan war affects the lives of an Islamic Body Washer and two Americans: a National Guard soldier and a journalist.
Also Invited to perform at the TANYS Festival is the Auburn Player's Production of "Two Women and a Chair" by Michael Olsen. CCC freshman Alicia Frame and Alumna Carole Estabrook enact the two roles of actresses showing up for an audition in a room dominated by a strange chair but no director.
Both of these productions are directed by Bob Frame, Director of Theatre Operation at CCC. His work has been featured at the festival many times over his career; in fact he was awarded the J. Richard Mahlstedt Directing Award in 2006. Frame is honored to have one play invited to perform, but it is practically unheard of to have two plays in this competition! These plays were chosen from a field of over 60 production mounted by Community, College and High School Theatre Groups from throughout the State. The TANYS Festival showcases some of the best work found in NY community theatre and is the first step in a theatrical completion that can lead to a national contest and ultimately to an international Festival held in Monaco.

Babies October 29 & 30
"Joyous and Buoyant" Los Angeles Times
The babies in Babies are four newborns, photographed in their natural habitat in distinctly different parts of the world. Hattie is in San Francisco, Mari's in Tokyo, Baryarjargal lives out in the Mongolian steppes, and Ponijao is born amid the simple straw huts of Namibia. In the course of less than 80 minutes, we're going to follow this quartet through their first year of life, a chronicle that director Thomas Balmes and producer Alain Chabat have likened to a nature documentary that happens to focus on humans. Along the way, we may pause to notice the cultural differences between the locales, as the American baby seems elaborately nurtured (maybe baby yoga classes could wait a year?) and the African baby views a world just as full of wonder and newness as anywhere else, despite the material poverty of the locale. If those differences are colorful, the movie nevertheless suggests that babies are more alike in their development than they are different.

Tom Anzalone
with opener Mike Speirs
Saturday, November 13th at 8:00pm
With a few simple props, guitar and roll of electrical tape (yes, electrical tape), Tom Anzalone produces quick and quirky musical impersonations of Elvis, Elton, Springsteen and countless more. But it is off-key creativity that spawns his usual standing ovation. His Springsteen recites the alphabet (to the tune of "Born In The U.S.A."), his Pinball Wizard (from the rock opera Tommy) is sung, well, opera style. Anzalone consistently hits the right notes for any audience. Anzalone's television appearances include America's Funniest People (ABC) and the Showtime Comedy Club Network. In addition, he has been profiled on radio's All Things Considered (NPR). He has performed at New York City's Laugh Factory, Atlantic City's and Las Vegas' Tropicana Hotels and in more than forty states. In addition, he has entertained passengers on the Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Anzalone enlisted for Comics on Duty, a series of shows for troops stationed stateside. He has "opened" shows for comedian Bobcat Goldthwait and the musical group Chicago. View Tom Anzalone

His Springsteen recites the alphabet (to the tune of "Born In The U.S.A."), his Pinball Wizard (from the rock opera Tommy) is sung, well, opera style. Anzalone consistently hits the right notes for any audience. Anzalone's television appearances include America's Funniest People (ABC) and the Showtime Comedy Club Network. In addition, he has been profiled on radio's All Things Considered (NPR). He has performed at New York City's Laugh Factory, Atlantic City's and Las Vegas' Tropicana Hotels and in more than forty states. In addition, he has entertained passengers on the Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Anzalone enlisted for Comics on Duty, a series of shows for troops stationed stateside. He has "opened" shows for comedian Bobcat Goldthwait and the musical group Chicago.
Mike Speirs is a tremendously funny comedian whose likeability and quick wit
always keeps the crowd engaged and highly entertained. At 31, Mike's life is in
a transition phase. This former party boy now finds his hell raising days to be
more and more of a distant memory while he deals with the increasing realities
and demands of being a full fledged grown up. Mike's act takes a fresh and
honest look at who he is, what he was and what he hopes to become. Whether
he is talking about the joy and pain of being a public school teacher, surviving
open heart surgery, or just reminiscing about striking out with women while
bar-hopping in his former life, one thing is certain...every time Mike takes the
stage audiences are sure to be alive, energized and clamoring for more.
