What’s Up on Sunday, April 6, 2014

.
If posed as a question, the answer is… Well, quite a lot!

= + = + = + = += + = +

April 6th in History…

√  The first modern OLYMPIC GAMES began on this date in 1896, in Athens, Greece, with 13 nations represented.

√  On this date in 1909, the NORTH POLE was reached for the first time by an expedition led by ROBERT E. PEARY. What whetted his appetite to attempt to journey across the frozen Arctic Ocean was his own discovery in 1886 that Greenland was an island, and not a polar continent like Antarctica. He had previously tried to reach the pole in 1897 and 1905. Third time was a charm.

√  Today is the birthday of musicians MERLE HAGGARD and CAREY APPEL.

√  It’s also the birthday of political darling-of-the right and frequent “Pinocchio Award” winner Congresswoman MICHELE BACHMANN.

√  And it is the officially-proclaimed “Sorry Charlie Day,” falling two days after “Tell-A-Lie Day,” one day after “Go For Broke Day.”

Ongoing, through Apr 19, in Sierra Madre:
(Times vary, by night)  “CIVIL WAR THEMED LIVE THEATRE,” in three period-music-related productions, at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W Sierra Madre Bl, Sierra Madre; 626-355-4318; www.sierramadreplayhouse.com.

Nick Smith, veteran storyteller and co-producer of the Pasadena Folk Music Series (formerly the Caltech Folk Music Series), says, “I’m historical advisor for their current productions. The main one, "Battledrum," (Mar 7-Apr 19) is a short musical drama about drummer boys during the Civil War.”
+
There is also one remaining performance of the MUSIC OF THE CIVIL WAR, in a show called "Glory Hallelujah," on Apr 13. It’s presented in conjunction with the Colbert School of Music, that esteemed L.A. institution across the street from the Disney Concert Hall.
+
The theatre’s lobby has a wonderful display of Civil War photographs and descriptive placards, along with a Union uniform and lady’s dress of the time.
+
Each performance of "Battledrum" opens with an opening talk by a historian, leading into the play. Nick tells us, “I will be doing [the historian’s opening] for some of the performances. I’m also helping select the readings and music for the other production. It’s been busy.”
+
The Guide was there for ""THE PLAYER KING," a one-night-only show in the series on March 28. It’s about the theatrical Booth family, including John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Written and performed bt DARIN DAHMS, it is an inspired performance. If it’s indicative of this series, and we believe it is, then catch as much of it as you can.
