Local Community Theatre enriches lives and Builds Leaders

Are the performing arts a dying trend? Certainly not. Community Theatre is thriving on Florida’s Nature Coast. Our rich performing arts culture is great live entertainment and a source of joy and inspiration to the audience and the actors alike. Leadership skills, public speaking, and learning to work as a team are all benefits. The benefits to our community are abundant. Self-expression, enhancing creativity, problem-solving, community awareness, public speaking, and the ability to work as a team are only a few. Hernando County Commissioner John Allocco agrees, “Wholesome community theatre is a great asset to our community for multiple reasons. It brings generations together from the actors' perspective. In our traditional learning environments, children are separated by age. It can create a challenging environment for children and adults to communicate effectively. Community theatre provides an environment for children and adults of all ages to work together on an equal ground, with bi-directional communication, working for a common purpose. Public speaking is the #1 fear for most people, but acting provides this skill that is necessary in almost any leadership position. I believe community theatre gives our youth a launching pad to become future community leaders due to the ability to communicate clearly with people of all ages and walks of life.” Whether writing a play, designing costumes, or looking for a fabulous evening out there are a myriad of choices that are not only fun but affordable on the heart of the Nature Coast. Vince Vanni, one of the Live Oak Theatre's founders compliments his young charges on their acting of Shakespeare instead of reading lines from a page. Vince Vanni, a founder of the Live Oak Theatre Company explains even further saying, I am not training the next generation of New York City waiters and cab drivers! We are teaching skills that help to develop leaders. Think about the leaders you admire. When you picture these leaders, what are they doing? Invariably, they are in front of large groups of people with complete confidence. They are creative and think outside of the box. AND… they can get others to buy into their creativity. THAT IS LEADERSHIP…and that’s what the arts provide.” Below are just a few of the wonderful local theatre venues to choose from. The Valerie The Valerie Theatre in Inverness is owned by the City and offers local theatre productions, movies and a variety of acts. Image courtesy of The Valerie Theatre facebook page. Within Citrus County, the historic Valerie Theatre is located in the heart of Downtown Inverness. The Valerie is a beautifully restored theater. Originally built in 1927 by Pearl Maddox and named The Valerie after her daughter. The City of Inverness website tells us that, “In 1961, filming began in Citrus, Marion, and Levy County for the movie “Follow That Dream” starring Elvis Presley, daily clips from the movie were viewed with Elvis in attendance at the Valerie. The courthouse scene took place in the heart of downtown Inverness, at the Citrus County Old Courthouse which has been restored and is now a museum. The Valerie remained vacant from 1987 until the city purchased it in 2009. With community involvement and detailed planning, a grand reopening was held for the Valerie Theatre Cultural Center in June 2015. The Valerie is now run by The City of Inverness.” Tickets can be purchased online at www.valerietheatre.org or the Box Office during regular hours and one hour before show time. The Valerie is located at 207 Courthouse Sq, Inverness, FL. Their phone number is 352-341-7850. Live Oak Theatre The Live Oak Theatre Company is located within Hernando County. Live Oak enriches families, individuals, and the community by providing positive artistic experiences in the Performing Arts. One of the founders, Vince Vanni explains, “The Theatre is in its 14th season and the Conservatory is in its sixth season, offering over thirty classes in the performing and visual arts for ages two through adult, as well as private lessons, in voice, piano, and various other musical instruments. No other community outside of Tampa matches this.” The Live Oak Theatre and Conservancy teaches the performing arts and puts on vibrant shows with local talent. Image courtesy of Live Oak Theatre facebook page. In addition, the conservatory fills a much-needed void by providing opportunities for students to learn the arts, especially since so many schools are unable to do this. They offer affordable family entertainment, performance, and educational opportunities for Theatre patrons and participants of all ages. Performances are held on Fridays at 7:30 pm, Saturdays at 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:30 pm. Select productions run on Thursdays at 7:30 pm. The Live Oak Theatre provides local entertainment for community events outside it's home. Image by Diane Bedard. The Live Oak Theatre is located at 21030 Cortez Blvd, Brooksville, FL 34601.

Stage West Play House Another wonderful option in Hernando County is Stage West Theatre Company. Stage West is an amateur theater company. This venue is Hernando County Florida’s oldest community theater providing quality theatrical entertainment at an affordable price for 40 years.

Stage West Theatre is a community theatre that offers local residents the opportunity to practice their craft for the entertainment of guests in an intimate environment. Image courtesy of Stage West's facebook page. Their website tells us that In addition to the Main Stage, there is a Forum stage which is an intimate 150-seat theater where avant-garde productions such as A Company of Wayward Saints, sometimes controversial like Doubt, or beloved classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird or On Golden Pond, but always an unforgettable experience. Each year a series of Stage West scholarships are awarded to deserving high school seniors as they pursue their collegiate education. In addition, there are annual children’s productions, as well as workshops.” Large productions make for exciting shows for all ages at Stage West Theatre.

Located on the Springstead High School campus on Mariner Blvd, some of the productions there have actors and stagehands that attend Springstead High School. Additionally, they are known for bringing in high-end productions from other areas. Richey Suncoast Theatre The Richey Suncoast Theatre has a luxurious interior with community theatre, live music, classic movies and more offered to its patrons. Image courtesy of Richey Suncoast Theatre. In New Port Richey there is the Richey Suncoast Theatre. This theatre is perfect for a special date night or afternoon out in a beautiful historic setting. This beautiful 328-seat venue is a former movie theatre built in 1925 and later restored for use as a playhouse and community theatre. It is named for silent film star Thomas Meighan and opened as the Meighan Theatre on July 1, 1926, with a screening of Meighan's movie The New Klondike. Their website tells us that the “purpose is to provide a safe, non-biased, and neutral space for people to create, collaborate, and perform. It will provide a place to learn through educational programs, for individuals to perform their greatest pride of work, and to collaborate with others to enhance their roles as artists, teachers, and performers. We will build partnerships and collaborations that combine our strengths to rebuild this theatre into a place that engages young and old, artists and spectators, and dreamers and doers.” To make reservations and buy tickets please visit richeysuncoasttheatre.com.

Okay so next on the list of families from my AU universe is the Bischoff Family. Like Vince, the boys actually have a mother but in my AU she passes right after she gives birth to Brad. Eric, in my stories, is enjoying retirement with Vince and supporting Paul Heyman in everything he does.

The patriarch of the family is Eric Bischoff.

The oldest is Matthew Evan Bourne Bischoff.

The middle child is Garrett Bischoff.

And the youngest is John Bradley Maddox Cena Bischoff. He was adopted and raised by John Cena Sr. He obviously goes by his middle name. He discovered he was adopted when he was 16 and sought out his biological family.

Look at these pictures and tell they don't look alike. For me, it just works.

I had this idea for another comic while coming up with plot for another one so now I'm gonna sidetrack and make that a thing in my free time. I think it'll be maybe 20-30 pages?? I'm about 3 in so far and it's already a disaster but I'm having so much fun with it!!

Do they have exes/past relationships? Do they have any experience? What were their relationships like? Do they harbor feelings, regrets, or anger?

ooc:

Alec: Teve alguns relacionamentos, entre as exes dele temos a Winnie e a Penny. I want to say Mary too but I'm not sure. HAHAHAHA Ele e a Winnie tinham tudo pra dar certo se nao fosse a Isolde HAHAHHA e agora no caso Winnie tá no bad romance né HAHAHAHA Alec é super o ex tranquilo que geralmente termina num clima de boa com as exes, tanto que ainda é amigo e próximo delas. Ele é meio paçoca né? Mas agora finalmente se declarou pra amada e vamos ver no que dá. Mia: O primeiro amor dela foi o Caradoc, eles tinham uma pequena implicância um com o outro, mais ela com ele. Acabaram terminando porque o Doc é mais velho e se formou e ficou difícil levar o relacionamento adiante. Não ficou nenhum 'hard feelings' mas ainda é um pouco awkward entre eles. Não rolou nada em turnos, mas no meu pov Doc kind was the first for her. Mia agora tá com o Evan que é meio que ex melhor amigo do Doc 'it's complicated'; Então tem esse semi clima também. Lia: Ela teve um lance com o Pacey, onde ele deu um migué, ela caiu e rolou uma pegação. Mas depois que ela descobriu que ele não tá no mesmo nível social dela, ela meio que nega até a morte HAHAHAH mas eles meio que tem um combinado social, o Pacey meio que 'deve' ela por ter enganado e ela vai cobrar o preço soon. E ela é bff que já foi colorida do Wilkes, sempre foi muitocasual entre eles, mas se perguntarem a ela, vai dizer que são super migos e só. Afinal, it was just sex, nothing serious. Maddox: Esse aí não se apega jamais. But fun fact, a Lorelai é uma ex dele. Eles tiveram um romance em Hogwarts, ela se apaixonou e achou que iam ter algo sério, mas foi só um pente pra ele. Ele não lembra de nada. Então o que será que vem aí? Lorelai vai deixar isso barato?

Emma: Nessa releitura do Era não lembro de ter combinado nada pra ela de ex, mas a Emma tá focada no trabalho e só. Um homem na vida já dá muito trabalho. Yelena: O marido ainda não é um ex né, mas vem aí. HAHAHAH e não vai ser um ex de boa que vai perseguir os lovebirds. Charlie: HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA não tem ex, mas ela pegou em ocasiões separadas, a Dianna, o Daniel e o River (não rolou todos turnos, mas foi o combinado, vocês me prometeram). E no hard feelings, jamais. Sirius: Eu lembro que tinha comentado com a Camille e a gente combinou que ele e a Drew tiveram um lance back in Hogwarts, não turnamos nem nada, mas fica aí pra lista. E por mim eles tão de boa. HAHAHAHA A Marlene é uma ex que agora é atual de novo também, claramente no hard feelings, apesar de que ele ainda gostaria de dar uns sopapos no Vince. Heath: Crescendo, sempre soube que iria acabar se casando com a Ash, jovenzinhos eles se pegavam de vez em quando, because why not. Mas quando começou a cair mais a ficha que eles seriam mesmo marido e mulher, essa atração que eles tinham meio que brochou legal. Eles se amam bastante, mas não são 'the one' for each other. Pippa: Pippa cresceu meio super protegida, meio inocente das coisas do mundo. Ela é meio sonhadora demais. Não tem ex e não tem experiências assim, a pobi. Niamh: She's got a long list of ex lovers, apenas isso. Mackenzie: Ela tinha uma crush fenomenal no amigo de infância Jake Kravitz, mas que foi superada há anos, ainda que algumas pessoas ao redor dela não acreditem nisso. O menino está casado, prestes a ser pai, ela já superou gente, juro! HAHAHAH Liesel: A Liesel é inexperiente no amor, não tem como ser diferente. Ela é completamente fechada pra pessoas que não seja o grupinho próximo dela. Ela ama o Dimi desde sempre, mas é a velha história do medo de estragar tudo. Fica mais complicado ainda já que os dois são órfãos e a única 'família' um do outro. A ideia de ficar sem ele é aterrorizante pra ela, então Lis prefere nunca viver esse amor do que perder o Dimi. Contudo, numa noite dessas acabou rolando algo entre eles e atualmente o clima tá bem awkward e triste, porque o Dimi disse que eles cometeram um erro e prefere que esqueçam e não falem mais sobre. Adele: A Ade é um caso complicado, ela não é assumida pra família e usa toda a postura elitista como máscara. É fácil se esconder na cortina de fumaça de alguém arrogante e intocável. Ela teve um lance com a Elise back in France e agora descobriu que Elise tem andado por aí HAHAHAH digamos que são ex casinhos e que agora estão metidas em um balaio de gatas. Finn: O Finn não presta, period. He's a playboy and a player. Não confiem nesse macho que ele é cilada, as exes odeiam ele porque ele é meio alpinista social também, problemático até falar chega. Dirk: Ele tinha certa reputação em Hogwarts, talvez tenha sido o que atraiu e repeliu a Dom ao mesmo tempo. Não sei nomear uma ex dele que tá no jogo AHAHAHAHA mas bem a cara dele de ter algumas infelizes com ele, mas ele ainda é jovem, tem muito o que aprender. Sei que ficou meio all over the place, mas espero ter ajudado.

Top 10 Most Underrated K-pop Songs of 2020 (Artist Edition)

Many wonderful songs by K-Pop artists helped us get through the shit show of 2020.

Continuing with the K-Pop Timeout Tradition (see 2019 Ver) of listing the Top 10 Most Underrated K-Pop Songs because all the other sites are just bothered with the Top 10 that pretty much everyone will have heard of/have fan wars over, below are our top 10 picks of songs that did not rank high (and with MVs just around or below 1 million views too) but deserves your attention!

This is the list for artists’ tracks, so the Top 10 underrated non-idol tracks. Click here for the Top 10 underrated idol tracks of 2020.

Some of the non-idol artists have escaped the list in recent years to stardom (for example DPR LIVE, CRUSH and MAD CLOWN) so hopefully, it happens again!

This is in alphabetic order NOT in the order of awesomeness because all of them are awesome. Also, all MVs are linked in the song titles because Tumblr won’t let me share that many videos in one post.

DAVII - Jamie Cullum

DAVII had already demonstrated his vocal and producing prowess in the collaborations with HEIZE and other indie artists and his continues to show his talent and skill in “Jamie Cullum”, an ode to the titular English jazz-pop singer songwriter. The song has a beautiful and memorable jazz piano arrangement and solo section, and DAVII complements the instrumental beautifully with his smooth RnB vocals. The simple Bauhaus-inspired MV sets further accentuates the atmosphere of this beautiful musical piece. If you are a fan of Korean RnB and also jazz, this is the song for you!

DeVita “EVITA!”

When AOMG told the internet we are going to love their new artist, we know we would but most of us did not expect THIS SOUND. Starting off with a simple 80s vintage drum loop, we are then promised something more when a jazzy saxophone solo bursts onto the scene. The instrumental is reminiscent of 80s citypop but the arrangement of the song and the background noise and ambience creates a much more cyberpunk feel to the whole affair - all this creates a song that sounds both retro and highly futuristic. This modern take on citypop is further highlighted by the stunning music video and DeVita’s edgy vocal delivery, which smoothly switches between head and chest voice in a way similar to that of Rihanna and Lexie Liu. If you are a fan of these two artists or love citypop, you should certainly check out DeVita’s “EVITA!”

Divin’ “Siren”

The MV with the least amount of views on this list (less than 3,000 views at the time of writing this), Divin’s “Siren” deserves better. This song makes great use of synthesisers and has an addictive electronic beat. Divin’s singing is also very captivating, both smooth and desperate at the same time. The moments where he dramatically breathed in Michael Jackson-style between verses worked very well with the fast-paced beats. It is sad to see such a creatively executed track that sounded like the theme song to a Netflix sci-fi adventure series go completely unnoticed. If you want to feel like you are living in the world of TRON, Divin’s “Siren” is your type of song!

GEMINI “Going”

GEMINI is definitely an artist to keep an eye on if you are a K-RnB fan. “Going” is an extremely simple song - just the use of one processed guitar loop throughout the whole song (even in parts of the bridge), with some changes in the drums here and there. The whole MV also appeared to be quite low budget, just showing GEMINI going about his day - shaving, playing basketball, skateboarding and just straight up chilling. However, the song is carried by GEMINI’s emotive voice and smooth delivery to be easily one of the most enjoyable RnB songs this year and the simple MV made it feel like we were also there hanging out with this talented and carefree youth. If you love good K-RnB, “Going” is a must-listen song from 2020!

MADDOX “Sleep”

Some of you may have heard of MADDOX for his wild interview with DIVE STUDIOS but not as many of you listen to his music because this MV does not even crack 100,000 views (at the time of writing this). “Sleep” is lofi RnB gold, showcasing MADDOX’s crisp and somewhat melancholy tone. The instrumental is a mix of electronic guitar, synths and pianos, creating the atmosphere of a high-class hotel lounge, which is fitting as MADDOX anguishly croons through the hallways of a hotel. We know the song is “Sleep” but this song is certainly way too slept on. If you love the soothing RnB tunes of Crush and Zion.T, you should check out this song!

MINSEO “No Good Girl”

MINSEO is arguably one of the most talented female vocalists of this generation, able to easy alternate between genres and styles, from romani jazz to EDM, so it is frustrating to see her still so underrated. In “No Good Girl”, MINSEO returns to her ballad roots and demonstrates her skill in showing layers of emotions through her expert singing abilities. The song itself is also beautifully arranged and could easily be a primetime K-Drama OST that plays whenever the leads interact. If you love vocal talent pure and simple and love coffee shop music, “No Good Girl” is the song for you!

Purple Rain “The King Must Die”

When one thinks of Korean rock bands, the tendency is to think of pop rock bands under FNC or other mainstream labels. Purple Rain reminds us to keep an eye on the harder, grittier rockers of South Korea. The song begins soft and controlled and slowly builds up with the entrance of the electric guitar solo. Upon reaching the chorus, the lead singer does a 180 in his delivery, belting with emotion and range and would alternate between his soft and harder vocals throughout the song. With the sound fit for an action blockbuster, “The King Must Die” is a song for those who love a powerful rock song!

Rad Museum “Wet Umbrella / This Night”

Rad Museum made the list last year its darker and emotive song “Dancing In the Rain” ft. Jusén, and returns this time with the much softer and dreamy mashup of two tracks “Wet Umbrella / This Night”. The unpredictable song progression and the light airy vocals lead to an oddly pleasant song. You feel like you are travelling with a squad of misfits in a disoriented world when listening to this song. If you are an enthusiast of music Spotify would classify as “escape room” (e.g. Daniel Caesar, Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino etc.), you would love this song!

VINCE “EMERGENCY” ft. Zion.T

With YG’s The Black Label managing him and being the songwriter for various K-pop hits like Sunmi’s “Gashina” and BLACKPINK’s “Pretty Savage” and working on BLACKPINK Rosé’s upcoming solo releases, it is strange YG stans are not supportive of this RnB vocal king. VINCE has a smooth honey vocals that work perfectly with any RnB track and “EMERGENCY” is further elevated by its memorable chorus and the addition of the uniquely wonderful Zion.T. Yet somehow this MV has yet to crack 1 million since it was released in February 2020 (at the time of writing this). If you are a fan of K-RnB, you would love this song!

Xydo “Betting” ft. pH-1

This song is the definition of falsetto overload but in all the right ways. Xydo’s high-tone singing is perfect for this simple song driven by a snappy bass, hi-hat and clap. pH-1’s rap verse also added the fun to this already very playful song. The camera angles and set also elevate the classy and smooth vibe of the whole song. If you are a fan of Gray’s production style, you would also love this stylish RnB song by Xydo!
