Dear Friends,

Norm Silverstein

It’s official - the Little Theatre is a Club Pass venue for the 2013 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Theater 1 will be hosting nine national acts from June 21st through the 29th (the list of performers is on the back of this program guide). And that’s not all. You’ll also be able to hear live, free music under our Jazz big tent in The Little parking lot. Make sure you say hello to the WXXI TV production crew on Jazz Street (aka Gibbs Street) as they record performances at Kilbourn Hall. You can get more details in next month’s guide!

Our news team will be out and about this month, as they cover Rochester Mayor Tom Richards’ State of the City Address on Monday, May 6th at the School of the Arts. You can hear the Mayor’s speech live on AM 1370 that evening at 7 p.m. The address will also air on City 12 later in the month. Speaking of the WXXI news team, we’re proud to welcome Randy Gorbman, formerly of WHAM Radio, as the News Director. With a growing service that includes NPR, in-depth online reporting, and local public affairs programming, Randy’s experience will be instrumental in strengthening WXXI’s role as Rochester’s trusted news source.

Finally, congratulations to the production team of Biz Kid$, our financial literacy series for kids. The program received a 2013 Parents’ Choice Gold Award in the television category.

A real honor, the gold awards recipients are judged as the highest quality, most appealing products in their genre. The judge that reviewed the show, Gina Catanzarite, wrote this about the series: “Biz Kid$ never strays from its mission, and the result is an exceptionally well-produced program, delivering clear and concise information in short, fast-paced skits and field packages.” We couldn’t agree more.

Your support makes this, and even more, possible.

Thank you.

Norm Silverstein, WXXI President norms@wxxi.org

NEWS&EVENTS

WXXI’s Travel Club headed to England in April for an unforgettable trip, featuring a visit to the real Downton Abbey!

From Edwardian London and the iconic Houses of Parliament, to the Georgian splendor of Jane Austen’s Bath and the hallowed halls of Oxford, invited scholars and expert guides helped our group of 29 explore our enduring fascination with the aristocracy, their grand estates, and how they survive today.

WXXI’s Elissa Orlando, VP of Television, and Kathy Reed, Director of Major & Planned Giving accompanied the group, and shared their experience.

Here are a few entries from their travel journal.

April 12

April 7

April 7

April 7 After two days visiting London’s parliament and Westminster Abbey, we had a thrilling day, beginning with Windsor Castle. We continued on to an inside tour is Eaton College (where Lord Grantham attended school) and then on to Byfleet Manor.

Byfleet is a beautiful suburban estate that represents Dowager Maggie Smith’s home in Downton Abbey. We had high tea there, and we had photos taken in the rooms where the Maggie Smith scenes are shot. One of our hosts, Alistair Bruce is more than the Downton Abbey historian. He is a herald to the Queen.

April 8 We traveled to Ston Easton in Bath today and it’s on to Highclere Castle at the end of the week. Here are Carol and Victor in a real Edwardian kitchen at Ston Easton Park near Bath. Don’t be fooled. The “downstairs” is authentic, but the upstairs is fantastic!

April 11 This is a shot of some of the grounds at Ston Easton Park Hotel. Ston Easton is an authentic Palladian mansion, with one of the earliest recorded print rooms and a daring (for the period) plunge bath. It’s fascinating, beautiful and relaxing.

April 12 We made it! We’re at Highclere Castle in Highclere Park, Newbury, West Berkshire.

WXXI’S COMMUNITY CINEMA SERIES PRESENTS

April 8

April 11

THE RANDY GORBMAN

REVOLUTIONARY

OPTOMISTS MONDAY, MAY 27 AT 7 P.M. AT THE LITTE THEATRE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Directed by Nicole Newnham and Maren GraingerMonsen, The Revolutionary Optimists follows Amlan Ganguly as he attempts to replicate his work in the brick fields outside the city, where children live and work in unimaginable conditions. Using street theater, puppetry, and dance as their weapons, the children in Calcutta’s slums have cut their neighborhoods’ malaria and diarrhea rates in half, and turned former garbage dumps into playing fields. Now, pushing at the limits of optimism, Amlan is attempting to take his work into the brickfields outside Calcutta, where they spend their days making and carrying bricks using methods unchanged by centuries.

Immediately following the film will be a panel discussion.

Community Cinema is presented by ITVS and funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

JOINS WXXI

On April 15, Randy Gorbman became News Director of WXXI’s Center for Public Affairs.

Randy will manage radio, television, and online news and oversee the day-to-day operations of the WXXI newsroom, including story assignments and production of news features.

He will also be responsible for guiding the long-range direction of news operation.

Randy, who served as news director at WHAM Radio from 1994 to 1996 and again from 1998 on, brings more than 30 years of news experience to WXXI. He has held positions as a news director, writer, announcer, and producer at radio stations in several cities in New York and Connecticut, as well as working as an editor at the NBC Radio Network. He has served as past president of the New York State Associated Press Broadcasters’ Association, and is currently a member of its Board of Directors.

WXXI’S ONLINE AUCTION ENDS MAY 4 There’s still time to place your bids on some great merchandise, including the 2013 Ford Focus from Shepard Ford. Check it out at WXXI.org/auction!

TVHIGHLIGHTS

Constitution USA with Peter Sagal Tuesdays at 9 p.m., beginning May 7 on WXXI-TV/HD

Breathing new life into the traditional civics lesson, Peter Sagal (host of NPR’s “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me”) travels across the country on a Harley Davidson to find out where the U.S. Constitution lives, how it works and how it doesn’t; how it unites us as a nation and how it has nearly torn us apart. Sagal introduces some of today’s major constitutional debates and talks with ordinary Americans and leading constitutional experts about what the Constitution actually says and what it means, the dramatic historical events and crises that have defined it, and why all this matters.

Peter Sagal

Mel Brooks: Make a Noise Monday, May 20 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV/HD

Criminal Injustice: Death and Politics in Attica Tuesday, May 21 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV/HD

Dave Marshall and Chris Christopher

Rochester’s own Chris Christopher and Dave Marshall, the multiple Emmy Award-winning filmmaking team, reveal the story of what really happened during the 1971 Attica prison riot in Criminal Injustice: Death and Politics in Attica. Based on scores of interviews of eyewitnesses who just now are telling their stories, as well as filmmaker access to newly discovered documents, the program brings genuinely new evidence to light regarding what exactly happened at Attica between September 9-13, 1971.

American Masters profiles the larger-than-life, yet very private comedy giant. Mel Brooks has never authorized a biography and has requested that his friends not talk about him, making his participation in this film a genuine first. The program features new interviews with Brooks, Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Cloris Leachman, Carl Reiner and Joan Rivers.

Into Harm’s Way takes an honest and unflinching look at the shadow the Vietnam War continues to cast on surviving members of the West Point Class of 1967.

Compelling interviews, archival photographs and footage, animated sequences and contemporary clips chronicle the men’s experiences — from their challenging first year as plebes to the fierce hand-to-hand jungle combat to their post-Vietnam lives. A collection of West Pointers poignantly share, sometimes with great emotion, their first-hand stories about the carnage of war, the war’s impact on their lives and beliefs, and their enduring bonds of brotherhood.

Into Harm’s Way airs Monday, May 27 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV

State of the Re:Union with Al Letson More than two million veterans have come home from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars so far. And even though war has been with us since the beginning of human memory, how to come back and start a new life is a puzzle we haven’t yet solved. In this special, listeners hear firsthand accounts of veterans making sense of war and starting over...some struggling with lingering injuries, physical and mental. This program repeats on Monday, May 27 at 12 p.m. and 10 p.m.

State of the Re:Union with Al Letson: Coming Home – Stories of Veterans Returning from War airs Sunday, May 26 at 9 p.m. on AM 1370

1370 Forums & AM 1370 Specials Intelligence Squared US: “Should We Abolish the Minimum Wage?” airs Sunday, May 5 at 9 p.m. The first attempt at establishing a national minimum wage, a part of 1933’s sweeping National Industrial Recovery Act, was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1935. But in 1938, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law a minimum hourly wage of 25 cents -- $4.07 in today’s dollars. Three-quarters of a century later, we are still debating the merits of this cornerstone of the New Deal. Do we need government to ensure a decent paycheck, or would low-wage workers and the economy be better off without its intervention?

State of the Re:Union (SOTRU) with Al Letson: Summer in Sanctuary — An American Graduate Special airs Sunday, May 12 at 9 p.m. Based on the celebrated off-Broadway show by SOTRU host Al Letson, this special combines radio

drama and documentary to explore America’s dropout epidemic through the intimate story of one man’s attempt to make a difference in the lives of a group of high-risk kids. It chronicles Letson’s journey teaching at a summer camp at the Sanctuary on 8th Street, a community center in an economically challenged neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. Local support for American Graduate Programming is provided

by Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection.

Intelligence Squared US: “Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health?” airs Sunday, May 19 at 9 p.m. Intelligence Squared U.S. takes a look at whether the FDA sacrifices safety for speed when approving potentially beneficial drugs and devices. Is the FDA too cautious?

Not My Life is the first film to comprehensively depict the cruel and dehumanizing practices of human trafficking and modern slavery on a global scale. Filmed on five continents, in a dozen countries, Not My Life takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited, every day, through an astonishing array of practices including forced labor, domestic servitude, begging, sex tourism, sexual exploitation, and child soldiering.

Challenging though it may be, the film’s message is ultimately one of hope. Victims of slavery can be set free and go on to live extraordinary lives. Those who advocate for them are growing in numbers, and increasingly effective.

At this crossroad for the defining human rights issue of our time, Not My Life tells us that the choice between good and evil is, quite simply, ours. We have a huge responsibility, right now, to learn the truth and act on it.

SATURDAY, MAY 25 AT 8 P.M. AT THE LITTLE THEATRE TICKETS: $20

TUESDAY, MAY 21 AT 7 P.M. AT THE LITTLE THEATRE TICKETS: $10

CHRIS STAR: TRAPPER BIG NOTHING CAN HURT ME The Little is proud to bring Chris Trapper back to Rochester for a special evening of music. Chris Trapper began his career as the front man for late–90’s alternative rock band The Push Stars.

With four CD releases and several high profile national tours – including a run with Matchbox Twenty – The Push Stars served to establish Chris as an authentic talent. Chris’ music can best be described as lyrically driven roots–pop with a knack for telling everyday stories filled with extra–ordinary characters. Join us May 25 for this special performance. Tickets are available at the box office now through the day of the show.

This feature-length documentary is about legendary Memphis band Big Star. While mainstream success eluded them, Big Star’s three albums have become critically lauded touchstones of the rock music canon. A seminal band in the history of alternative music, Big Star has been cited as an influence by artists including REM, The Replacements, Belle & Sebastian, Elliot Smith and Flaming Lips, to name just a few. With never-before-seen footage and photos of the band, in-depth interviews and a rousing musical tribute by the bands they inspired, Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me is a story of artistic and musical salvation. A discussion with the director, Drew DeNicola, via Skype, will follow.

One Take: Stories Through the Lens is a monthly Tuesday night documentary held at the Little Theatre, hosted by Linda Moroney.

This series is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. This film is supported by the Record Archive.

Spotlight on a WXXI Business Partner

Founded in 1922 by George Eastman, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is dedicated to inspiring, educating, and engaging the Greater Rochester community through the art of music.

Now in its 90th season the RPO presents more than 130 concerts a year. The orchestra engages the public through ticketed events, education programs, and community concerts in schools, churches, parks, and community centers throughout the region. The RPO musicians strive to have a special level of connection with the community at large.

“Many people may not know that, in addition to the Pops and Philharmonics concerts we present in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, the RPO reaches more than 14,000 schoolchildren each season through its education concerts and tens of thousands more through our numerous community concerts and programs,” explained marketing coordinator Katy Judd.

The RPO feels they reach their core audience efficiently through WXXI underwriting. Judd commented that, “We are so glad to have the classical music programming of WXXI-FM here in Rochester and are proud to support it through our underwriting. For those considering a partnership the suggestion I would make would be to develop at least a year-long plan, so that WXXI listeners or viewers become familiar with you. “

“…the RPO reaches more than 14,000 schoolchildren each season through its education concerts and tens of thousands more through our numerous community concerts and programs.”

Katy Judd, Marketing Coordinator

According to Judd the partnership of the RPO and WXXI stemmed from the fact that many RPO concertgoers are avid listeners of WXXI’s radio stations -- as are many RPO orchestra members and staff! The RPO staff’s favorite programming includes the Exploring Music (Mon-Fri, 7-8p), New York Philharmonic (Sun, 3-5p), and Chicago Symphony (Thurs, 8-10p) broadcasts on Classical 91.5.

“Local Classical hosts — Brenda, Julia, and Mona — are great,” Judd added, “and All Things Considered on AM 1370 (Mon-Fri, 4-6:30p) is also a favorite.”

The RPO 2013-14 season begins September 26 with Mahler’s First Symphony, and violinist Jennifer Koh performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. Visit www.rpo.org
