“When we got to Williamson, there were people waiting on me. They knew exactly what to do.” –elizabeth tyer
At Williamson Medical Center, our story is best told by our patients. They have been here. They know us well. To Elizabeth Tyer, Williamson Medical Center is where she got her life back. She never expected to have a “widow maker” heart attack in her early 40s, but when she called EMS after sickness that worsened by the hour, our paramedics were able to communicate the status of Elizabeth’s condition so that when they arrived, doctors and nurses were standing by and ready to go. She had a stent inserted into her aortic artery within the hour and credits the fast response time and knowledgeable cardiologists at WMC with the reason she is here to tell her story today. We want to hear your story.

ABOUT WEST SIDE STORY From the first notes to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
THE CREATORS JEROME ROBBINS Jerome Robbins is world renowned for his work as a choreographer of ballets as well as his work as a director and choreographer in theater, movies and television. Although he began as a modern dancer, his start on Broadway was as a chorus dancer before joining the corps de ballet of American Ballet Theatre in 1939, where he went on to dance principal roles in the works of Fokine, Tudor, Massine, Balanchine, Lichine, and de Mille. His first ballet, Fancy Free (1944) for ABT, still in many repertoires, celebrated its fiftieth birthday on April 18, 1994. While embarking on his career in the theater, Mr. Robbins simultaneously created ballets for New York City Ballet, which he joined in 1949, and became an Associate Artistic Director with George Balanchine...continued on page 43. STEPHEN SONDHEIM Stephen Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics for Saturday Night (1954), A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (1962), ANYONE CAN WHISTLE (1964), COMPANY (1970), FOLLIES (1971), A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC (1973), THE FROGS (1974), PACIFIC OVERTURES (1976), SWEENEY TODD (1979), MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG (1981), SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (1984), INTO THE WOODS (1987), ASSASSINS (1991), PASSION (1994) and ROAD SHOW (2008) as well as lyrics for WEST SIDE STORY (1957), GYPSY (1959) and DO I HEAR A WALTZ? (1965) and additional lyrics for CANDIDE (1973). Anthologies of his work include SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM (1976), MARRY ME A LITTLE (1981), YOU’RE GONNA LOVE TOMORROW (1983), PUTTING IT TOGETHER (1993/99) and SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM (2010). He composed the scores of the films “Stavisky” (1974) and “Reds” (1981) and songs for “Dick Tracy” (1990) and the television production “Evening Primrose” (1966). His collected lyrics with attendant essays have been published in two volumes: “Finishing the Hat” (2010) and “Look, I Made A Hat” (2011). In 2010 the Broadway theater formerly known as Henry Miller’s Theatre was renamed in his honor.
ARTHUR LAURENTS An award-winning playwright, screenwriter, librettist, director and producer, Arthur Laurents has been responsible for creating the librettos of many Broadway shows including Gypsy, Anyone Can Whistle, Do I Hear A Waltz?, Hallelujah, Baby! and Nick & Nora. He wrote the screenplays for The Snake Pit, Anna Lucasta, Anastasia, Bonjour Tristesse, The Way We Were and The Turning Point. He also wrote the plays Home Of The Brave, The Time Of The Cuckoo and A Clearing of The Woods. He directed I Can Get It For You Wholesale, Anyone Can Whistle, Gypsy, La Cage Aux Folles, Birds Of Paradise and Nick & Nora. LEONARD BERNSTEIN Leonard Bernstein was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He took piano lessons as a boy and attended the Garrison and Boston Latin Schools. At Harvard University, he studied with Walter Piston, Edward Burlingame-Hill, and A. Tillman Merritt, among others. Before graduating in 1939, he made an unofficial conducting debut with his own incidental music to “The Birds,” and directed and performed in Marc Blitzstein’s “The Cradle Will Rock.” Then at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, he studied piano with Isabella Vengerova, conducting with Fritz Reiner, and orchestration with Randall Thompson. In 1940, he studied at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s newly created summer institute, Tanglewood, with the orchestra’s conductor, Serge Koussevitzky. Bernstein later became Koussevitzky’s conducting assistant. Bernstein was appointed to his first permanent conducting post in 1943, as Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic. On November 14, 1943, Bernstein substituted on a few hours notice for the ailing Bruno Walter at a Carnegie Hall concert, which was broadcast nationally on radio, receiving critical acclaim. Soon orchestras worldwide sought him out as a guest conductor. In 1945 he was appointed Music Director of the New York City Symphony Orchestra, a post he held until 1947...continued on page 42.

Faith and Science
Can a cancer diagnosis make you take a leap of faith? At age 38, Caroline—wife, mother and nurse—was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. But instead of letting it take control of her life, she saw it as a second chance to truly live. She entrusted us with her life 17 years ago and has been jumping (sometimes from 13,000 feet) at every opportunity since.
Nothing shall be impossible. To schedule a screening, call 615-284-CARE or visit STHealth.com/cancer.

MATT LOGAN
(Director/Designer, Artistic Director) An accomplished designer, director, illustrator and performer, Matt Logan is first and foremost a storyteller—drawing on his multi-disciplinary talents to create a comprehensive signature aesthetic that connects every aspect of a Studio Tenn production, from the set to the stitching. One of a rare few Director/Designers in the industry, Logan made his professional directorial debut at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) at the age of 19. He attended Pepperdine University on a Design Scholarship where he apprenticed under theatre legend John Raitt and received the John Raitt Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Theatre Arts. Upon graduating, Logan worked on Broadway in costuming for GYPSY, THE LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and OKLAHOMA. He assisted Tara Rubin Casting for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, JERSEY BOYS, SPAMALOT and SHREK. A nationally recognized illustrator and caricature artist, Logan was named by The New York Times as an heir to the Al Hirschfeld tradition for his Broadway portraiture. His celebrity clients include Hugh Jackman, Bernadette Peters, Jude Law, Martin Short, Mike Nichols, Dolly Parton, Mary Tyler Moore, Katie Holmes, Harry Connick Jr. and Morgan Freeman. Recently, his privately commissioned drawing for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS was submitted to the Library of Congress by the George Gershwin estate. As an actor, Logan’s credits include Performance Riverside (INTO THE WOODS, SCARLET PIMPERNEL, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD), McCoy Rigby Entertainment (THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN starring Cathy Rigby), Tennessee Repertory Theatre (1776), Rattlestick Theatre NY (MESSAGE FOR MICHAEL), the Actors Fund of NY (ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY starring Douglas Sills and Marin Mazzie), and San Francisco Opera (THE MERRY WIDOW starring Fredrica Von Stade) which aired on PBS in the winter of 2009. He also starred as Henry Higgins in Studio Tenn’s 2013 production of MY FAIR LADY. In the fall of 2009 Logan became the founding Artistic Director of Studio Tenn. He has since directed and designed five critically acclaimed seasons with Studio Tenn in addition to the company’s debut production of OUR TOWN at the Loveless Barn. The sold-out performances secured Studio Tenn as a major force in the artistic landscape of Tennessee. Logan then led a partnership with Show Hope by directing and designing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA with the Nashville Symphony and a star-studded cast including Tony award winner Heather Headley. In the height of his artistic leadership, Logan was named Best Director of 2014 by the Nashville Scene.
JAKE SPECK
(Executive Producer, Managing Director) Jake returned to his native Nashville in 2010 after completing a two-year run in the Tony-winning Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS—a show that led him to perform at the Emmy Awards, the Tony Awards, and for the President and First Lady at the White House. His current role as Studio Tenn’s Managing Director fulfills a lifelong dream: to create a theatre company in his home city that inspired his career in the arts. After high school, Speck spent a couple of years performing locally and singing with the group Nickajack (Developmental record deal, Asylum Records) before moving to New York to accept the highest national scholarship offered by the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). Following graduation, he worked with numerous Tony Award-winning theatre veterans, including Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF), director Des McAnuff (BIG RIVER, THE WHO’S TOMMY, JERSEY BOYS), Academy Award-winning writer Marshall Brickman (ANNIE HALL) and director and choreographer Susan Stroman (THE PRODUCERS). Speck’s New York credits include creating the role of Chuck Yeager in THE FASTEST WOMAN ALIVE and Mike in LIFE SCIENCE, both Off Broadway. He has toured the country in professional productions of KISS ME KATE, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, FOREVER PLAID, THE MELVILLE BOYS and more. In Nashville, he starred among Broadway veterans in Show Hope’s CINDERELLA with the Nashville Symphony in 2010, 2011 and 2012. He has performed at the Taste of Chicago festival, during the 7th Inning Stretch at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, and on the steps of NYC’s City Hall for the World Series Champion New York Yankees. In 2005, he appeared in Mel Brooks’ musical comedy film “The Producers.” Speck continues to work in film and television and occasionally appears on the Studio Tenn stage. Recent credits include playing the “Master of the House”, Thenardier in the company’s own LES MISERABLES (2014) and Juror #8 in TWELVE ANGRY MEN (2012). Recent film credits include a guest star appearance on the new Netflix series “Master of None” opposite Aziz Ansari, 4 episodes in a recurring role in the first season of ABC’s hit TV series “Nashville,” several commercials and short films as well as the 2014 feature film “Closer to God.” Under Speck’s administrative leadership, Studio Tenn has made the Nashville Business Journal’s list of the top five performing arts organizations in Nashville for two consecutive years. Jake is married to Studio Tenn’s resident choreographer Emily Tello Speck and together they have produced three amazing sons, Nash, Noah and Leo!

THE CREATORS (Continued) (LEONARD BERNSTEIN, continued)
After Serge Koussevitzky died in 1951, Bernstein headed the orchestral and conducting departments at Tanglewood, teaching there for many years. In 1951 he married the Chilean actress and pianist, Felicia Montealegre. He was also visiting music professor, and head of the Creative Arts Festivals at Brandeis University in the early 1950s. Bernstein became Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958. From then until 1969 he led more concerts with the orchestra than any previous conductor. He subsequently held the lifetime title of Laureate Conductor, making frequent guest appearances with the orchestra. More than half of Bernstein’s 400-plus recordings were made with the New York Philharmonic. Bernstein traveled the world as a conductor. Immediately after World War II, in 1946, he conducted in London and at the International Music Festival in Prague. In 1947 he conducted in Tel Aviv, beginning a relationship with Israel that lasted until his death. In 1953, Bernstein was the first American to conduct opera at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan: Cherubini’s “Medea” with Maria Callas. Bernstein was a leading advocate of American composers, particularly Aaron Copland. The two remained close friends for life. As a young pianist, Bernstein performed Copland’s “Piano Variations” so often he considered the composition his trademark. Bernstein programmed and recorded nearly all of the Copland orchestral works --many of them twice. He devoted several televised “Young People’s Concerts” to Copland, and gave the premiere of Copland’s “Connotations,” commissioned for the opening of Philharmonic Hall (now Avery Fisher Hall) at Lincoln Center in 1962. While Bernstein’s conducting repertoire encompassed the standard literature, he may be best remembered for his performances and recordings of Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Sibelius and Mahler. Particularly notable were his performances of the Mahler symphonies with the New York Philharmonic in the 1960s, sparking a renewed interest in the works of Mahler. Inspired by his Jewish heritage, Bernstein completed his first large-scale work: Symphony No. 1: “Jeremiah.” (1943). The piece was first performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1944, conducted by the composer, and received the New York Music Critics’ Award. Koussevitzky premiered Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2: “The Age of Anxiety” with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Bernstein as piano soloist. His Symphony No. 3: “Kaddish,” composed in 1963, was premiered by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. “Kaddish” is dedicated “To the Beloved Memory of John F. Kennedy.” Other major compositions by Bernstein include “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs” for solo clarinet and jazz ensemble (1949); “Serenade” for violin, strings and percussion, (1954); “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story,” (1960); “Chichester Psalms” for chorus, boy soprano and orchestra (1965); “Mass: A Theater Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers,” commissioned for the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, and first produced there in 1971; “Songfest” a song cycle for six singers and orchestra (1977); “Divertimento,” for orchestra (1980); “Halil,” for solo flute and small orchestra (1981); “Touches,” for solo piano (1981); “Missa Brevis” for singers and percussion (1988); “Thirteen Anniversaries” for solo piano (1988); “Concerto for Orchestra: Jubilee Games,” (1989); and “Arias and Barcarolles” for two singers and piano duet (1988). Bernstein also wrote a one-act opera, “Trouble in Tahiti,” in 1952, and its sequel, the three-act opera, “A Quiet Place” in 1983. He collaborated with choreographer Jerome Robbins on three major ballets: “Fancy Free” (1944) and “Facsimile” (1946) for the American Ballet theater; and “Dybbuk” (1975) for the New York City Ballet. He composed the score for the award-winning movie “On the Waterfront” (1954) and incidental music for two Broadway plays: “Peter Pan” (1950) and “The Lark” (1955). Bernstein contributed substantially to the Broadway musical stage. He collaborated with Betty Comden and Adolph Green on “On The Town” (1944) and “Wonderful Town” (1953). In collaboration with Richard Wilbur and Lillian Hellman and others he wrote “Candide” (1956). Other versions of “Candide” were written in association with Hugh Wheeler, Stephen Sondheim et al. In 1957 he again collaborated with Jerome Robbins, Stephen Sondheim, and Arthur Laurents, on the landmark musical “West Side Story,” also made into the Academy Award-winning film. In 1976 Bernstein and Alan Jay Lerner wrote “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” Festivals of Bernstein’s music have been produced throughout the world. In 1978 the Israel Philharmonic sponsored a festival commemorating his years of dedication to Israel. The Israel Philharmonic also bestowed on him the lifetime title of Laureate Conductor in 1988. In 1986 the London Symphony Orchestra and the Barbican Centre produced a Bernstein Festival. The London Symphony Orchestra in 1987 named him Honorary President. In 1989 the city of Bonn presented a Beethoven/Bernstein Festival. In 1985 the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences honored Mr. Bernstein with the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. He won eleven Emmy Awards in his career. His televised concert and lecture series started with the “Omnibus” program in 1954, followed by the extraordinary “Young People’s Concerts with the New York Philharmonic,” in 1958 that
THE CREATORS (Continued) (LEONARD BERNSTEIN, continued)
extended over fourteen seasons. Among his many appearances on the PBS series “Great Performances” was the eleven-part acclaimed “Bernstein’s Beethoven.” In 1989, Bernstein and others commemorated the 1939 invasion of Poland in a worldwide telecast from Warsaw. Bernstein’s writings were published in “the Joy of Music” (1959), “Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts”(1961), “The Infinite Variety of Music” (1966), and “Findings” (1982). Each has been widely translated. He gave six lectures at Harvard University in 1972-1973 as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry. These lectures were subsequently published and televised as “The Unanswered Question.” Bernstein always rejoiced in opportunities to teach young musicians. His master classes at Tanglewood were famous. He was instrumental in founding the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute in 1982. He helped create a world class training orchestra at the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival. He founded the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan. Modeled after Tanglewood, this international festival was the first of its kind in Asia and continues to this day. Bernstein received many honors. He was elected in 1981 to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which gave him a Gold Medal. The National Fellowship Award in 1985 applauded his life-long support of humanitarian causes. He received the MacDowell Colony’s Gold Medal; medals from the Beethoven Society and the Mahler Gesellschaft; the Handel Medallion, New York City’s highest honor for the arts; a Tony award (1969) for Distinguished Achievement in the Theater; and dozens of honorary degrees and awards from colleges and universities. He was presented ceremonial keys to the cities of Oslo, Vienna, Bersheeva and the village of Bernstein, Austria, among others. National honors came from Italy, Israel, Mexico, Denmark, Germany (the Great Merit Cross), and France (Chevalier, Officer and Commandeur of the Legion d’Honneur). He received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1980. World peace was a particular concern of Bernstein. Speaking at Johns Hopkins University in 1980 and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York in 1983, he described his vision of global harmony. His “Journey for Peace” tour to Athens and Hiroshima with the European Community Orchestra in 1985, commemorated the 40th anniversary of the atom bomb. In December 1989, Bernstein conducted the historic “Berlin Celebration Concerts” on both sides of the Berlin Wall, as it was being dismantled. The concerts were unprecedented gestures of cooperation, the musicians representing the former East Germany, West Germany, and the four powers that had partitioned Berlin after World War II. Bernstein supported Amnesty International from its inception. To benefit the effort in 1987, he established the Felicia Montealegre Fund in memory of his wife who died in 1978. In 1990, Bernstein received the Praemium Imperiale, an international prize created in 1988 by the Japan Arts Association and awarded for lifetime achievement in the arts. Bernstein used the $100,000 prize to establish The Bernstein Education Through the Arts (BETA) Fund, Inc. before his death on October 14, 1990. Bernstein was the father of three children -- Jamie, Alexander, and Nina -- and the grandfather of four: Francisca, Evan, Anya and Anna. (JEROME ROBBINS, continued) Mr. Robbins has directed for television and film as well, with his co-direction and choreography of West Side Story winning him two Academy Awards. After his Broadway triumph with Fiddler On the Roof in 1964, Mr. Robbins continued creating ballets for New York City Ballet. He shared the position of Ballet-Master-in-Chief with Peter Martins until 1989. He has created more than 60 ballets, including Afternoon of a Faun (1953), The Concert (1956), Les Noces (1965), Dances At a Gathering (1969), In the Night (1970), In G Major (1975), Other Dances (1976), Glass Pieces (1983) and Ives Songs (1989) which are in the repertories of the New York City Ballet, the Ballet de l’Opera de Paris and major dance companies throughout the world. His most recent ballets include A Suite of Dances with Mikhail Baryshnikov (1994), 2 & 3 Part Inventions (1994), West Side Story Suite (1995) and Brandenburg (1996) all of which premiered at New York City Ballet. In addition to his two Academy Awards, Mr. Robbins’s awards and citations include four Tony Awards, five Donaldson Awards, two Emmy Awards, the Screen Directors’ Guild Award and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. Mr. Robbins is a 1981 Kennedy Center Honors Recipient, was awarded the Commandeur de L’Order des Arts et des Lettres, is an honorary member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and was awarded a National Medal of Arts as well as the Governor’s Arts Awards by the New York State Council on the Arts. Some of his Broadway shows include On the Town, Billion Dollar Baby, High Button Shoes, West Side Story, The King and I, Gypsy, Peter Pan, Miss Liberty, Call Me Madam and Fiddler on the Roof. In 1989, Jerome Robbins’s Broadway won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director. He was most recently awarded the French Chevalier dans l’Ordre National de la Legion d’Honneur. Jerome Robbins passed away in 1998.
