Jen Alden
My first experience seeing Alvin Ailey Dance Company was in college at the University of Oregon. It was a performance I will never forget and changed my entire attitude on modern dance, appreciating it for the first time. The Alvin Ailey Company utilizes ballet as a basis of technique, then adds Horton technique, traditional music, and theatrical, extroverted dancers with strong personalities and muscular skill. It’s important that dancers and dance enthusiasts come appreciate both of these amazing, notto-be-missed performances. Thanks to the TPAC Trust, if you are a dancer, you can get a ticket for $10 to see Ailey II, creating additional access to experience this company live!
“Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.” — ALVIN AILEY

Her EP, “Relationship Status,” releasing late February 2024, takes the listener on the emotional journey of going from one relationship status to another and finally landing on the realization that these statuses do not define you.

ary Louise Kelly has traveled the world as an investigative reporter for the BBC and CNN — from the Afghan-Pakistan border to Kosovo refugee camps to the deck of an aircraft carrier among many other places. In 2001 she launched an intelligence beat at NPR and is currently anchor of NPR’s All Things Considered. Kelly takes the name of the show she hosts, All Things Considered, very seriously. She says, “We try to cover [global news] in a way that is useful and helpful and enlightening for people who track this stuff every day from the State Department and for people who are leading a totally different life in Tulsa and didn’t know they were interested in these stories and want to know about what is happening in our country and in our world.”
For Kelly, one of the things that makes considering all things possible while telling a story is to travel to where these news stories take place and get firsthand accounts from the people living the stories. “Very few of us, in Tulsa or anywhere else, are going to travel to the frontlines of Ukraine … or any other of the global hotspots. It is my job to go out and cover the world,” Kelly says. She adds, “I have found that the stories I feel are worth covering have changed as I get older … and I find that stories that resonate the most, I love doing, are interviewing ordinary people.” Recently, Kelly interviewed a general in the Israeli military. The day of the Hamas attack, this man immediately put his uniform on, grabbed his weapon, drove to the site of the attack and began pulling victims out of the rubble. He has since

been hailed as a national hero. Before the interview began, Kelly was chatting with the man’s wife and came to learn that the couple has five sons. All five sons will soon be serving on the front line in Gaza. As a mother, that hit home for Kelly — having every son in harm’s way. These are the types of things, Kelly suggests, that drive home the human stories of global news. She says, “Whatever your
In a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, Kelly conducted a roundtable discussion with a group of professional Palestinian women. It was a difficult and often heated conversation, but at the end of the conversation the women were laughing and sharing a human moment together. As a mother, Kelly wanted to know how these women talk to their kids about what is happening. Kelly notes that her natural position

politics and whatever you feel about what is happening in the Middle East, it's hard not to connect with that, the idea of a dad talking and getting choked up about what it means to his family in this moment.” “I love doing conversations like that — that bring the headlines of these awful things happening somewhere down to just a very human level,” Kelly notes. On the other side of the conflict — all things considered, remember — Kelly also interviewed Palestinians on the West Bank and in Jordan.

is to shield her children from scary things, but these women said that isn’t an option for them. What is happening is all around them, and their children have to know the truth about their world and the danger surrounding them. When sharing these stories and interviews, Kelly hopes that people listening are able to experience and understand the world through the eyes of someone else who may see and experience the world in a fundamentally different way. She adds: “Our national
conversation, as we know, is so polarized. … So many things seem like minefields in terms of talking about our politics and views on the main issues of our time. The value of going out in the world and doing reporting … is, and I don’t agree with everyone we put on air, but if I put you on air it’s because I want to hear what you have to say, and I’m going to question you in a respectful, rigorous way but with an open mind. I may disagree, but there is probably a reason you think what you think. … You have experienced life in a way that brings you to a totally different view from mine, and that’s great. Let’s hear it.” Hearing those human stories certainly paints world events in a different, more wholistic light. Kelly will speak on this and more when Tulsa Town Hall brings her to Tulsa.

A New Way of Looking at
The Broadway adaptation’s writer Aaron Sorkin talks about updating and paying homage to Harper Lee’s American classic today
To Kill a Mockingbird HARPER LEE’S TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD AARON SORKIN BARTLETT SHER A new play by
Directed by
Excerpted from Simms, David. “A New Way of Looking at To Kill a Mockingbird.” The Atlantic, December 17, 2019
T
he first line of Aaron Sorkin’s stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird is one of quiet confusion. “Something didn’t make sense,” Scout Finch tells the audience of the tale that’s about to unfold. Sorkin’s dramatization of Harper Lee’s novel, which opened on Broadway in December 2018, is an unexpectedly probing work that refuses to let an American classic go unchallenged. Instead, it stages two trials: One is from the book, in which Scout’s attorney father, Atticus Finch, defends Tom Robinson, an African American man accused of rape in 1930s Alabama, and tries to combat the community’s entrenched racism.
Atticus Finch in the courtroom — Photo of Original Tour Cast by Julieta Cervantes.
In Sorkin’s play, the other trial is of Atticus’s own nobility, and how it doesn’t always square with his grander vision of justice. Though the adaptation broadly follows the narrative arc of Lee’s novel, it uses Scout, her brother Jem, and her friend Dill (all played by adult actors) to cast a wary eye over some of the book’s more idealistic details. That framing encourages the audience to ponder the limits of Atticus’s impulse to empathize even with vile racists such as Bob Ewell, a man who’s trying to pin his own assault of his daughter Mayella on Tom. The play beefs up the relatively anonymous parts given to black characters in Lee’s work,
24 INTERMISSION FEB 2024
gives Atticus’s kids a more argumentative nature, and sheds harsher light on the book’s somewhat pat ending. The stage adaptation is nonetheless made with appreciation for Lee’s novel, and that mix of homage and update has translated into a family-friendly Broadway hit. David Sims: The show surprised me. I knew the book, and I had seen the film multiple times, so I was not expecting to be surprised. Aaron Sorkin: I’m glad to hear that. From the moment the curtain goes up, we try to knock you off your pins a little bit. Scout spends the play trying to solve [the mystery of Bob Ewell’s death], but broadly what we’re doing is having a new conversation about the book, the story we all learned in seventh grade and thought we knew.
When I started out [with this play], I thought it was a suicide mission, but I said yes right away ’cause I wanted to do a play so badly. My first draft was terrible because I tried to gently swaddle the book in bubble wrap and transfer it to the stage. It felt like a greatest-hits album done by a cover band — just somebody trying to imitate Harper Lee and standing up the most famous scenes from the book. I realized that Atticus, as the protagonist [of the stage version of the] story, has to change. And if he’s gonna be the protagonist, he has to have a flaw. How did Harper Lee get away with having a protagonist who doesn’t change? Because Atticus isn’t the protagonist in the book or the movie; Scout is — her flaw is that she’s young, and the change is that she loses some of her innocence. While I wanted to

Sims: He excuses things [such as bigotry and cruelty]. Sorkin: By the end of the play, he realizes he doesn’t know his friends and neighbors as well as he thought he did, that it may not be true that goodness can be found in everyone. Sims: You give a lot of anger to the kids. In the novel, I don’t remember them ever challenging their father; they’re more like observers who are invested in childish obsessions, like [their mysterious neighbor] Boo Radley. But you’ve given them, especially Jem, a more defiant dynamic with Atticus. Sorkin: Well, if Atticus is going to have all the answers, let’s ask him tougher questions.
explore Scout, I absolutely wanted Atticus to be a traditional protagonist, so he needed to change and have a flaw … It turned out that Harper Lee had [already] given him one; it’s just that when we all learned the book, it was taught as a virtue. It’s that Atticus believes that goodness can be found in everyone.
Sims: Calpurnia [the Finch family’s black housekeeper] has more to do as well, and she’s a much more passive figure in the book. Sorkin: I returned to the book and was surprised to find that in a story about racial tension, there were really only two significant African American characters, neither of whom had much to say. I want to be careful — this play is in no

way meant to correct what I feel were mistakes that Harper Lee made. It’s a conversation. And I couldn’t do a Harper Lee impersonation or pretend like I was writing the play in 1960. But Calpurnia in the book is mostly concerned with whether Scout’s going to wear overalls or a dress; Tom Robinson pleads for his life, but we don’t know much more about him. In 1960, using African American characters mostly as atmosphere is something that probably would have gone unnoticed by a mostly white audience. But it would be noticeable today, and it’s a really big missed opportunity. You want their point of view in this. Sims: It’s been an interesting year for great American works getting interrogated on Broadway.
