Independent Lens “Through a Lens Darkly” Monday, February 16 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV

This documentary explores the role of photography in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans from slavery to the present. It probes the recesses of American history through images that have been suppressed, forgotten, and lost. Bringing to light the hidden and unknown photos shot by African American photographers, the film opens a window into the lives of black families, whose experiences and perspectives are often missing from the traditional historical canon.

American Masters “August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand” Friday, February 20 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV

From his roots as an activist and poet to his indelible mark on Broadway, this program captures the legacy of the man some call America’s Shakespeare. Film and theater luminaries such as James Earl Jones, Viola Davis, Phylicia Rashad, Laurence Fishburne, Charles Dutton and others share their stories about Wilson.

Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, WXXI presents a variety of programs featuring the men and women who shaped the African-American experience. For a complete list of programs,visit WXXI.org/bh.

American Denial

African American Voices

Follow the story of foreign researcher and Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal whose study, An American Dilemma (1944), provided a provocative inquiry into the dissonance between stated beliefs as a society and what is perpetuated and allowed in the name of those beliefs. His inquiry into the United States’ racial psyche becomes a lens for modern inquiry into how denial, cognitive dissonance, and unrecognized, unconscious attitudes continue to dominate racial dynamics in American life. This event is free and open to the public. This documentary also airs on WXXI-TV on February 23 at 10 p.m.

These three-minute vignettes tell stories through words, interview clips, and music about the contributions of African American classical musicians, including singers like Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman, and Paul Robeson, composers George Walker and Francis Johnson, conductor James DePreist, pianist André Watts, and more.

Monday, February 23 at 7 p.m. at the Little Theatre, followed by a panel discussion

February 9-27 throughout the day on Classical 91.5

Dear Friends, January ushered in bitter cold weather in our region, but at least we had all the drama of Downton Abbey to warm us up! According to PBS, more than 10 million viewers tuned in to see the Crawley family return to Norm Silverstein face the changing tides of England in 1924. There are more episodes for you to enjoy on Sunday evenings, with the season finale on Sunday, March 1. If you’ve fallen behind and missed a few episodes (and you’re in search of an alternative to the Super Bowl), our Super Drama Sunday should help. We’ll be airing episodes 1- 5 on Sunday, February 1, starting at 2 p.m.

February also marks an annual trip to Washington with our public media colleagues to speak to Congress about how important federal funding is to our educational efforts. While government funding only amounts to about $1.35 per person, it’s a critical source that helps us provide a safe haven for our youngest audience. We provide more than 12 hours of non-violent, non-commercial, educational children’s programming each weekday on WXXI-TV, attracting a large and important audience. Our children’s programming helps kids be “ready to learn” when they enter school, an important goal.

WXXI is part of a national outreach effort called “American Grad,” working to reduce the high school dropout rate. Funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WXXI’s American Graduate Initiative focuses on providing quality content, convening key stakeholders and connecting community members to resources and solutions to support educational success.

I hope you agree that WXXI makes a positive difference. If you’d like to share why public media matters to you, I encourage you to visit the “Protect My Public Media” web site at protectmypublicmedia.org.

There you can learn more about public media, tell your story, read testimonials from others, and write a letter to a Member of Congress.

February also is “Black History Month” and WXXI is pleased to present a variety of programs that spotlight the men and women who shaped the African-American experience. As part of our special programming, we’ll be hosting a free screening of the Independent Lens film American Denial at the Little Theatre on February 22. The film spotlights the work of Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal, who studied the acceptance of the contradiction between the American Creed held dear and political and social behavior. Additional programs are spotlighted on the opposite page of this magazine and a complete list can be found at WXXI.org/bh.

We hope you will be able to join us for some powerful, engaging, and entertaining programming this month and for the rest of 2015!

Best Regards,

Norm Silverstein norms@wxxi.org @normWXXI

NEWS&EVENTS

Q&A WITH A WXXI Underwriter Pultneyville, a quaint hamlet in the Town of Williamson, is located on the Lake Ontario shoreline in Wayne County. Situated on the Seaway Trail in the midst of fruit orchards, it is beautiful at any time of the year, according to Tom and Sherry Watson, owners of The Pultneyville Grill.

Q. How would you describe The Pultneyville Grill?

The Grill is a casual fine dining restaurant featuring creative modern American cuisine, an eclectic bar with craft cocktails and an array of Scotches, and a service staff emphasizing warmth and friendship. We want our customers to feel as welcome to the Grill as they would be to our home.

Q: What would you like the WXXI audience to know about The Pultneyville Grill?

We are open all year long! We have a lovely patio available in the summer. Our website is our major communications venue. We encourage people to check it regularly for our live music events, wine pairings, our annual Scotch tasting, and specials.

Q. What distinguishes The Pultneyville Grill from other dining options?

We subscribe to the “farm to table” philosophy whenever possible. Our location allows us to benefit from the high-quality fruits and vegetables grown locally.

Q. How did restaurant ownership come about as a second career for you after working internationally for Kodak? Why in Pultneyville?

Sherry and I lived in Pultneyville and enjoyed having a fine dining option in the area. We “failed” retirement and jumped headlong into the restaurant business (with no experience). July 2015 marks our fifth year in the business. www.pultneyvillegrill.com owners, Tom and Sherry Watson

TVHIGHLIGHTS

VAN GOGH:

Benedict Cumberbatch (pictured) portrays Vincent Van Gogh to perfection in this powerful and critically acclaimed docudrama. Based on years of painstaking research, with every single word of dialogue sourced from his original writings, this is the artist’s story, in his own words. For 18 years from 1872, Van Gogh chronicled his eventful life through some 900 letters to his younger brother Theo. The correspondence documents in vivid detail Van Gogh’s travels and various occupations in the Netherlands, Belgium, England, and France; his obsessive religious zeal; his artistic calling; the evolution of his skills; the way he used art and literature to discover and define himself; and the periods of mental instability and depression that plagued him during the years preceding his suicide.

INVISIBILIA

Have you caught the new NPR series, Invisibilia Sunday nights at 9 on AM 1370? The six-part series (there are three more to broadcast this month), explores how people’s lives are shaped - and sometimes even controlled – by ideas and feelings that are powerful and rarely examined. Creators and co-hosts Alix Spiegel and Lulu Miller (pictured) – who helped to create the groundbreaking public radio programs This American Life and Radiolab – combine powerful storytelling and cutting-edge research from the pages of scientific journals to bring listeners a unique audio experience.

You’ll find descriptions for the final three episodes below, and if you missed the first three episodes that aired in January, you can listen to them online at npr.org and search for Invisibilia.

Invisibilia: Fearless

Invisibilia: Entanglement

In the Fearless episode of Invisibilia, we look at what would happen if you could eliminate fear. A group of scientists believe that we no longer need fear — at least not the kind we live with — to navigate the modern world.

We will examine that claim, and reveal the striking (and rare) case of a woman with no fear. The second half of the show explores how the rest of us might “turn off” fear.

In Entanglement we hear from a woman with Mirror Touch Synesthesia, who can physically feel what she sees others feeling. We also explore the ways in which all of us are connected — more literally than you might realize. The hour will start with surprising developments in physics and end with a conversation with comedian Maria Bamford and her mother. They discuss what it’s like to be entangled through impersonation.

Sunday, February 1 at 9 p.m.

Sunday, February 8 at 9 p.m.

Invisibilia: Our Computers, Ourselves Sunday, February 15 at 9 p.m.

In Our Computers, Ourselves we look at the ways technology is affecting us, and our main question is: Are computers changing our character? We hear from cyborgs, bullies, neuroscientists and police chiefs about whether our closeness with computers is changing us as a species.

ARTS&CULTURE

BACKSTAGE PASS

wxxi&LITTLE

Did you know Big Bird was supposed to be aboard the tragedy-bound Challenger shuttle? Or that Oscar the Grouch’s voice was inspired by a cantankerous cabbie? Have you heard the story of how a fire in Oscar’s trashcan almost led to puppeteer Caroll Spinney’s untimely end?

Now 80 years old, Spinney’s stories are the stuff of legend, and they are the fabric that weaves together I Am Big Bird, a feature-length documentary about the man who has played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since 1969. On Tuesday, February 10 at 7:00 p.m.,

I Am Big Bird comes to The Little. Tickets are $8.

Spinney has been a constant presence in our lives for over 40 years, his path weaving through American history like that of Forrest Gump. His time inside the Bird has taught him about the world and himself.

In addition to compelling interviews with Caroll and his luminary puppeteer cronies, I Am Big Bird features fascinating material from Caroll’s personal archives. You’ll witness neverbefore-seen footage capturing unscripted moments of Caroll with giants like Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson. You’ll see Caroll’s short films, showcasing his skill in animation – a talent that led to a job offer at Disney, which Caroll turned down.

LITTLE GIVES

I AM BIG BIRD ROCHESTER PREMIERE

I Am Big Bird peels away the instances in Caroll’s life that inspired his creation of characters that influenced generations of children. And, as the yellow feathers give way to grey hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who will steal your heart in this film.

As a bonus, the directors of this film will Skype into The Little for an audience Q&A after the film!

CULT MUSICALS: THE LITTLE AND GEVA TEAM UP AGAIN The new collaborative series with Geva Theatre Center and The Little started last month, but there is still time to join the fun! To celebrate Geva’s production of Little Shop of Horrors, The Little is screening other musicals that . . . shall we say step outside the mold?

On Wednesday February 4, The Little screens The Wiz at 6:30 p.m. Featuring Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor and Diana Ross, this film is a bold, fantastic interpretation of the timeless tale The Wizard of Oz. Tickets are $7.

The Cult Musicals series finishes strong on Wednesday February 11, with Hedwig and the Angry Inch at 6:30 p.m.

Hedwig is an East Berlin boy who falls in love with an American soldier. He undergoes a sex-change operation so they can marry and head west, but as so often happens, things don’t go according to plan! Tickets are $7.

Music, love, art, comedy – this series has it all! We love teaming up with Geva and it seems our audience loves it too.

We look forward to seeing you here!

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: TREASURE ISLAND On Thursday, February 26 at 12 p.m. and Saturday, February 28 at 6:30 p.m., The Little is proud to present National Theatre Live’s production of Treasure Island, suitable for kids 10 and older.

An island shaped like a dead man’s chest. A golden treasure guarded by the silence of betrayed pirates. A ship’s cook with a peg leg and a mysterious gleam in his eye. The most infamous parrot in literature.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s story of murder, money and mutiny is brought to life in a thrilling new stage adaptation by Bryony Lavery, broadcast live from the National Theatre in London.

It’s a dark, stormy night. The stars are out. Jim, the inn-keeper’s granddaughter, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor’s feet sits a huge seachest, full of secrets. Jim invites him in – and her dangerous voyage begins.

NT Live is really something to see. The best theatre performances from London’s West End are recorded with cameras positioned throughout the theatre, ensuring Little audiences get the best seat in the house every time.

Tickets for the show are $15 for Little members, students and seniors and $20 for general public.

Join WXXI for a free screening of Thinking Money, a film that looks at the psychology behind our best and worst financial decisions, followed by a panel discussion.

Then at 8 p.m. join us in the Little Café for a catered reception and financial fair.
