editor’s note > my two cents on the subject

Kelly Oden Executive Editor I’ve always admired performers. The ability to go out onto a stage and sing a song, play an instrument or deliver a line is just not something I’ve ever really possessed. This fact was brought home to me quite clearly in ninth grade when I auditioned for the part of Antigone in my high school play. In my heart and mind, I was Antigone. I was a Greek geek, having loved the mythology since I was a young child and I knew that no one else could possibly understand this strong and complex character the way I did. Unfortunately, when it came time to speak my lines in the audition…. Well, let’s just say I ended up playing a messenger. And truth be told, I even messed up those two or three lines. Sigh. An Academy Award/Grammy/Tony/Emmy is not in my future. Not for performance at least. Maybe I’ll write a screenplay. Or, maybe I will just head out to one of the many performing arts venues Pensacola has to offer and enjoy the talents of our professional performing arts community. The world needs spectators, right? In honor of that talented group of brave stage lovers, Pensacola Magazine has profiled a few of the many talented performing artists in our community. From the ballet, the opera and the symphony to community theatre and comedy, these artists are at the top of their game and they share what it’s like to live the artist’s life beginning on page 54. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of these local talents and catching a glimpse of what it takes to create their respective forms of art. We hope you enjoy it too. If performing is something you’ve always dreamed of, have no fear. Pensacola offers a variety of opportunities for performance arts education for the young and old alike. Local colleges and universities, Teen Shakespeare, Pensacola Children’s Chorus and a number of outreach programs from professional and community performing arts organizations—they all offer classes to help bring out your inner performer. Find your outlet on page 51. In this first issue of 2015 we also profile the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters and a particularly inspiring mentor. January is National Mentoring Month, so we hope this inspires you to get out and give a little of your time, kindness and experience to a young person in need. This month also marks the beginning of a new look for Pensacola Magazine. You’ll notice that our business magazine, Northwest Florida’s Business Climate Magazine has now been integrated in to Pensacola Magazine as a special section. This will enable us to bring you even more of the great business news you’ve come to expect from Business Climate. I hope you enjoy this issue and I hope 2015 brings you plenty of joy, growth and love.

THE GRAFFITI BRIDGE PROJECT By Josh Newby

It’s one of Pensacola’s most recognizable landmarks, a medium for all the inelegant, nuanced, hopeful, angry, short-lived and long-lasting feelings that our community generates. It is a symbol of the brief, passionate emotions we have and the overarching narrative of our collective story. It is the graffiti bridge, and it’s finally getting the artistic platform it deserves. The 17th Ave. railroad trestle—better known as the graffiti bridge—is nothing remarkable in itself. It is a piece of concrete that carries the CSX railroad over a two-lane span of highway near Pensacola Bay. But the graffiti bridge, as we all know, has become something much more than that: it is a socially constructed and impromptu art installation. “The graffiti bridge is a landmark that oozes authenticity, and authenticity is the hallmark of great cities like Pensacola,” said Mayor Ashton Hayward in a statement.

Enter Rachael Pongetti, who was born in Columbus, Miss., but came here for college in the 80s. She has been an art instructor for Pensacola State College, the University of West Florida, the Pensacola Museum of Art and the PACE Center for Girls. She has also created and led many workshops on photography. Her images have even been exhibited and published locally, nationally and internationally. Pongetti admitted that while she knew of the bridge, she wasn’t a regular observer of it until a friend mentioned to her the idea of photographing it as part of a project. After some initial hesitance born of an already packed schedule, she began taking daily pictures of the bridge on Jan. 1, 2011 and ended on Jan. 11, 2012. Soon, the unofficial community canvas became her own. Now, in 2015, her photographs will be on display in dual exhibitions at First City Art Center and the Pensacola Museum of Art. Throughout the project, Pongetti said that she wished to juxtapose the human philosophy of change with the transformations the bridge’s artists impressed upon it. “The way I’m able to process change most directly is through my lens,” said Pongetti. “The bridge changes every day and I was able to learn to watch all that comes from change. Sometimes the bridge was artistic and beautiful; other times there was something very un-artistic there. So you find all of this range of emotions that you’re going through and I was learning to really observe the change instead of becoming attached to it.” Sometimes, Pongetti would spend hours a day at the Pensacola Bay fixture, just admiring its beauty, mourning a beautiful painting that had been covered up by something crude, or looking optimistically to the future and wondering what artistry the next day would bring. Now, more than four years after the project began, it is coming to an end. In April 2015, First City Art Center will host an exhibition of the photos spotlighting the grungy aspects, along with live painting, music, and group participation. The Pensacola Museum of Art exhibit will highlight the more visual and intimate aspects of the project. The details on the PMA installation are still being worked out. Pongetti has also started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the money for a book, which will showcase all the best pictures. Kickstarter supporters will receive different expressions of gratitude depending on their pledge, but some gifts to expect are a copy of the book, an event T-shirt, tickets to the VIP reception, and even a photo session with Pongetti and signed metal prints. “The community is going to have to come forth and help make the book, which I think is great,” said Pongetti. “It is a community bridge and the community is going to be what brings this book to life.” Pongetti said the most profound principle she learned through it all was the dynamic and unpredictable nature of change and evolution. Sometimes the change was on a very myopic, individual level, like when hurriedly done spray-paint strokes conveyed an homage to a lost loved one. Other times, the bridge was a symbol of events bigger than itself, with paintings portraying the death of Osama bin Laden and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Some paintings were less inspiring and thought provoking, like support of sports teams, insults between ex-lovers, and indelicate profanity. Even those things, Pongetti said, were part of the message of the bridge, as they are parts of the many seasons of our lives. “Sometimes the change was so abrupt,” said Pongetti. “It was such a metaphor for life, really. What it taught me was that even though somebody’s story is covered up and changed it’s really never gone, and that’s the same with people. People’s lives and their stories are written on that bridge and they tell something that’s very important, and even though it’s gone in a matter of a few hours, it’s really not gone; it simply became a layer.” January 2015

TLC Caregivers Celebrate 25 Years

Since 1989, TLC Caregivers, a partner with the Council on Aging of West Florida, has served Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, providing senior citizens with an array of non-medical services in the comfort of their homes while encouraging them to be active and independent. Clients are paired with caregivers based on client needs and schedules, as well as the characteristics and expertise of the caretakers.

pensacolamagazine.com

January 2015

“Continuing our impactful reach outside the homes of our patients is something we are passionate about and strive to do on a daily basis,” the company states on their website. “With regular speaking engagements at hospitals, medical groups and civic organizations, we are able to educate and advocate for the needs of our community’s senior and disabled citizens.” Don Gaetz, former president of the Florida Senate and current Okaloosa County senator, acquired the business in 1997. He has been involved with hospice care and hospital administration since the 1970s and is the cofounder of VITAS Healthcare. To celebrate 25 years of care and service, Lou Donaldson, a company administrator, said that it was time to give back to the people that make TLC Caregivers run, awarding employees raises and bonuses. “They’re an amazing group of people, and without their input, we would not have been in business 25 years,” Donaldson said. “And it was very, very important in this economy to give money back to the employee.” While anywhere from 120-130 licensed and accredited professionals staff the company, 170 employees would be instrumental in providing optimal care, Donaldson said. As the business has grown, so has its direction when it comes to clientele. TLC’s services are offered in five packages, encompassing personal and respite care, companionship, homemaking and even child care. These services, though mainly geared toward senior citizens and physically and mentally challenged patrons, are available for whoever needs them.

For instance, the Respite Care package is unique in that even though it features several of the things that come with the Personal Care set (i.e. meal preparation, bathing, toileting, dressing), it accommodates regular family caregivers as well as their charges, giving those caregivers a much-needed break. While the Companionship service offers assistance with eating, bathing, meal preparation and the like, the caregiver focuses on socializing with the client and seeing that they accomplish their daily goals. Another interesting company aspect is that it has special clearance to provide their clients with hands-on care (bathing, for instance). Donaldson explained that several years ago, organizations like TLC Caregivers had to register to become a home health agency in order to make such help available to the public. TLC is one of only 12 similar non-medical organizations to be granted this exemption. Not only can TLC offer this kind of personal, specialized attention, further cementing itself as a solutions company, they can do so at one-fourth of the usual cost, charging anywhere from $15.85-$18.85 per hour, Donaldson said. With a diverse collection of services and an expanded focus and identity, TLC Caregivers is poised to increase its reach, as well as its local and regional notoriety. Not surprisingly, this success only amplifies the caregivers’ drive to gauge and respond to care trends and assist anyone who needs them while treating them as individuals and promoting independence. “That’s a pretty good rush, to know that you went to work today for a reason and that it affected someone so profoundly,” Donaldson said. “That’s always going to be the heart and soul of TLC.”

Man Up and Be a Mentor!

Sherrod Young with Scott Ramsey

January is National Mentoring Month

In his mid forties, divorced and with a grown daughter, Scott Ramsey became a Big Brother mentor to 13-year-old Sherrod Young. Four years later, to hear Scott speak of his relationship with Sherrod, one would assume they were father and son, uncle and nephew or perhaps even biological brothers. They might as well be. “I didn’t have a dad there when Mr. Scott came in. Now, he’s just like a father figure,” Sherrod says. “We go out, we play Frisbee golf, we practice baseball and throw a football, go bowling. We just go out and have fun. When you don’t have that male figure in your life and he comes along, it’s great.”

Scott says his goal as a Big Brother mentor is to ensure Sherrod knows that someone loves him and is proud of him. “Sherrod is a great kid. Polite, big million-dollar smile. He’s just changed my whole life. It’s been such a blessing to me to watch him grow and mature.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida pairs caring adult volunteers like Scott with young people who need a special someone in their life. There are approximately 200 children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister volunteer in Northwest Florida, and around 65 percent of those are boys. Volunteering as a Big

Brother or Big Sister is one of the most rewarding and impactful ways to give back to the community. Scott says he was inspired to volunteer when thinking about his own childhood and a coach who had mentored him: “He came into my life when I was probably nine or ten years old. He was a big influence on me. I thought, if that one person really made a difference in my life, maybe it’s time for me to pay it forward.” Sherrod says Scott has been there for him during tough times and has taught him important life lessons. Sherrod Young with Scott Ramsey He says the most important thing he has learned from Scott is: “Every decision comes with a consequence, whether it’s good or bad. Think before you do something wrong.” Sherrod’s guardian, Alicia Williams, says Scott has been a blessing to her entire family. “When Scott came into Sherrod’s life as his Big Brother, Sherrod had just had a back injury and was told he could not play football anymore,” Williams says. Scott came in and brought energy and happiness back into Sherrod’s life. Sherrod strives for a lot more with Scott encouraging and challenging him. His grades have improved. He has a better attitude. His mannerisms and way of thinking are more positive. I could not have asked for a better individual to instill great character and Godly instruction to a child who felt his world was snatched from him in a blink of an eye.” Paula Shell, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, says that the need for mentors, especially men, has never been greater. “Without good examples of men like Scott, boys often get a bit lost,” she said. “Studies have shown that the lack of a male figure in a boy’s life increases the likelihood that he will perform poorly in school or get involved in crime. When I look around the community, it seems as though a generation of men went without mentors growing up. We hear on the news about absent fathers and the effect it is having on young men today. Even when a man has a father he can look up to, it takes a village of male mentors to raise a child.” Teaching a young boy how to become a man involves more than just being there. It is a conscious process of mentoring, training and connecting that creates a desire and the skills needed for a boy to become the kind of man we all hope he becomes. “We can help these boys realize their potential and prepare for a future in which they are strong, responsible, productive men,” Paula says. There are always at least 100 boys waiting to be matched with a male mentor in Northwest Florida. To the men of Northwest Florida, Scott Ramsey and Sherrod Young say, “Will you man up and be a mentor?”

DON’ T LET NEW YEAR’S FERVOR FIZZLE: 6 WAYS TO ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE

Courtesy of BPT

January 2015

Every year, many Americans resolve to change or improve something in their lives in the coming months. Too often, their January fervor to take control fizzles by February. But a new approach to managing resolutions could make 2015 the year you achieve meaningful, lasting change. Paul Kriegler, assistant program manager of nutrition at Life Time - The Health Way of Life Company, offers these six tips to help you make a commitment for the new year and capitalize on the energy surrounding the change in the calendar. Avoid ambiguity Aspiring to “lose weight” isn’t an effective resolution. Instead, Kriegler says, you should focus on a course of actions rather than the outcome such actions produce. “Focus on making small, realistic commitments to goals you can achieve along the way,” he says. “Lose five pounds of fat over the next three months is a much better - and more achievable resolution, plus you’ll be able to track your progress and set new goals once you achieve it.” Kick off your commitment in a healthy way Demonstrate your commitment by kicking off the new year with an activity that will help you reach your goals. This year, commit to being one of the million people logging a workout at Life Time during its first-ever Commitment Day Festival and Fun Run Jan. 1-4. Walk your first 5K with your friends or family on Jan. 1 at the Commitment Day 5K, bring the kids for some football-inspired fitness fun or a winter pool party in the indoor pool, or even try a tri with a 60-minute indoor workout.

Expect to fail sometimes If you keep things simple, an occasional failure shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, it should seem so easy to get back on the right track that you almost have to laugh at yourself for falling off in the first place. Set behavior goals that appear easy but are effective enough to make progress even if you only hit the target 80 percent of the time. Kriegler says that missing one day of sticking to your plan shouldn’t ruin your desire to continue, especially if the miss is an expected part of the process. Eat well to live well The types of food you eat can be as important as, if not more important than, the calories they contain. This year, commit to really thinking about the foods you eat, every time you eat. Keep a food journal for a week and write down everything that you eat and drink as well as how much and make a point to note how you feel. Be honest with yourself about those occasions when you may choose to eat something that isn’t in the interest of your healthy eating plan. When you do an honest assessment of your eating patterns, you will likely see where moderation can work for you and where it can’t. Take others with you on your course of action If you get down on yourself when you can’t stick to your

Be honest with yourself about those occasions when you may choose to eat something that isn’t in the interest of your healthy eating plan. When you do an honest assessment of your eating patterns, you will likely see where moderation can work for you and where it can’t. Resolve to take daily action - no matter how simplistic it is “Most of us bite off more than we can chew and forget about what’s not within our direct control,” says Kriegler. “Life is busy - everyone has demands to meet and responsibilities often prevent us from carrying out our grand intentions of turning our lifestyles on end by working out, sleeping eight hours each night or perfectly portioning our home-prepped meals.” Instead of setting grand plans, resolve to string together 365 days of tiny battles won and see what happens. Chances are, if you’re constantly building up small wins each day, you’ll stay motivated and even find room to do more than the minimal effort you’d envisioned.

intentions, Kriegler suggests adding to your support system. “Using a group or partner approach is known to increase adherence to exercise habits and healthier eating, but it also makes the process more enjoyable and more fun with the shared intention,” he says. Not only can your resolutions foster better health and happiness in your life, but they can inspire positive energy and change in others’ habits as well.

If you or your children have the desire to take a penchant for singing or a knack for acting to the next level, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to fight to get on the waitlist of an exclusive arts school or travel to conservatories in far-flung nations to do so. There are several cost effective and well-established local organizations that are geared toward discovering and developing a new generation of performing artists.

Southeastern Teen Shakespeare Company If there is one institution that acts as an all-encompassing hub of theatre training for young people, the Southeastern Teen Shakespeare Company (SetsCo), founded in 2005, is it. “Its mission is to, provide teens in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties with instruction and performance opportunities that lead to their significant growth as artists, as community members, and as human beings” the official website says. Aspiring actors who are 12-years-old or starting sixth grade start out in the Conservatory, a two-year program that first rears them up with proper posture; relaxation and expression; basic acting techniques like metrics, prosody; and Elizabethan English conventions, according to the official curriculum. During the second year, students refine these skills, weaving in stage combat, dialects and creating their own brief performance pieces. After completing the Conservatory, actors-in-training audition for the main Teen Shakespeare Company, where their worlds literally become the stage, and then some. Not only do members participate in monthly advanced acting workshops and perform in many venues like renaissance fairs, they get an education in running the actual performing arts organization. Company members must assist with keeping the business up and running, aiding in marketing, public relations, website maintenance and outreach efforts. The most crucial element that Teen Shakespeare instills in their students is a sense of community. Not only are they involved in community service and fundraising, each Company member must acquire a community sponsorship of at least $250. “Part of being in SetsCo is learning how an arts business operates” the official website states. “Arts businesses rely on community support through sponsorships and fundraising.” Teen Shakespeare recently assembled their tenth company. Members recently performed at the Island of Misfit Toys during Winterfest and just hosted a masquerade ball on New Year’s Eve. Visit setsco.org for more information on the organization and upcoming performances.

Pensacola Children’s Chorus For those young artists that are not too enthralled with the idea of reciting Shakespeare on stage, they might be ready to sing a different tune with the Pensacola Children’s Chorus. “Our museum is occasionally referred to as a ‘Crown Jewel’ of Pensacola” said Robert Rasmussen, the director of the National Museum of Naval Aviation, in a statement on the Chorus’ website. “The ‘Crown Jewel’ of this city is the Pensacola Children’s Chorus.” The Pensacola Children’s Chorus was founded in 1990 after a group of schoolchildren, led by teacher Susan Pote, were invited to perform along with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. The group is actually comprised of several different choirs set apart by grade and skill level: Choristers (third grade), Festival Choirs (fourth and fifth grade), Concert Choir (fifth-eighth grades) and the select Concert Choir (same grades), Echo (ninth and 10th grade) and the Young Singers of Pensacola (high school). Each group has a different musical theme and repertoire, ranging from classical to spiritual to literature-based songs, and many choir members get to ply their craft throughout the community during different tours and with different choral organizations in California, Tennessee, Canada, and even England and France. Choir members are selected for the choir programs based on their overall potential and ability to sing on pitch during annual auditions. A full list of tuition and registration fees can be found on pensacolachildrenschorus.com

University of West Florida The University of West Florida trains students with an artistic inclination to excel on the stage and behind the scenes, readying them to become actors, stage and event managers, choreographers and costumers. Also home to specialized classes with small teacher-student ratios, UWF’s Department of Theatre provides bachelor’s and bachelor of fine arts degrees in theatre, with several courses in theatre history, design, directing, acting and much more. A minor in theatre is also available for other degree seekers. Much of the students’ work is reflected by the performances staged at the university’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts. The center hosts various plays throughout each academic year, including their annual production of A Christmas Carol every December. The Mystery of Edwin Drood, based off of an unfinished Charles Dickens work, and Euripides’ Medea will round out the 2014-2015 season. Performing arts Argonauts also get better acquainted with their department and the business side of the arts by helping run UWF’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Students serve as ushers, box office workers and perform other duties For more complete course and requirement information, as well as descriptions of various theatre positions, visit the theatre department’s website at uwf.edu or check out their online major handbook.

Pensacola State College Pensacola State College provides older performing arts students with diverse options in regard to their education and career preparation. The college advertises smaller, more individualized classes, offers two-year degrees in music and theatre and PSC degree credits are transferrable to all Florida universities. PSC’s music program features not only courses in musical performance and teaching, but concerts performed by the jazz, wind and guitar ensembles as well as their concert and chorale entertainers, just to name a few styles. The 2014-2015 season includes Jesus Christ Superstar, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Zombie Prom and Mame. All PSC drama students are encouraged to audition for each and every production offered during their time at the college in order to prepare them for the hectic acting world, according to the curriculum handbook. Like with many colleges, acting is not the only career path drama majors can seek, as PSC’s students are prepared for possible roles as stage directors, backstage technicians and producers. To learn more about PSC’s performing arts programs and requirements, go to the Performing Arts webpage at pensacolastate.edu

Performing Arts Outreach These organizations are also about more than song and dance. Check out how these staples of artistic Pensacola are engaged with the community. • Pensacola Symphony Orchestra ensembles and performances for elementary school students, Santa Rosa Strings (string instrument lessons), guest artist community presentations, and $5 dress rehearsal matinees • Ballet Pensacola - Discover Dance, a “fully portable” outreach program geared toward bringing engaging performances to Santa Rosa and Escambia county schools; can entertain more than 13,000 students each year, according to the official website • Pensacola Little Theatre - several improv, directing and Acting Up classes and workshops in performance for all ages; available on Sundays, spring break, and for home school students • Pensacola Opera - Opera camps, Opera High Notes, Gallery Talks, and performances at area schools January 2015

Soprano Inna Dukach will take the Saenger stage this month portraying Mimi in the Pensacola Opera production of Puccini’s La Boheme, and this is not the first time the busy soprano has made her way to Pensacola to perform. Local opera aficionados will recognize the New York-based singer from her portrayal of Cio-Cio-San from the company’s most recent production of Madama Butterfly, as well as from last October’s Jukebox Gala event. Dukach received her master’s degree in vocal performance from Mannes College, and she’s garnered praise for her performances worldwide from London’s Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to Opera Hong Kong to Opera de Oviedo in Spain. She performed as Mimi in La Boheme for two consecutive seasons at New York City Opera and reprises the role Jan. 16 and 18 in Pensacola.

Tell me a little about what it’s like to be a professional opera singer. Professional opera singing is alternately glamorous — exotic languages, timeless music and international destinations — and impossibly laborious, with countless hours of vocal practice, hustling for work and time away from my family. And yet I love it and wouldn’t trade it for anything except maybe being Beyonce for a day. I’ve sung in huge theaters around the globe for international audiences and I’ve sung just this week in my aunt’s living room in Queens for my dad’s birthday. I’m grateful for it all. What is your practice routine like? I take regular voice lessons to maintain my technique and I work with various coaches to hone roles in different languages. What was your most memorable performance? One that comes to mind is my La Traviata with the Croatian National Opera, as Violetta. It was a role I had always dreamt of singing. Or the first time I walked on stage at the Royal Opera House Convent Garden to sing Musetta in La Boheme. My first Madama Butterfly in Pensacola was also very meaningful to me, and also particularly challenging with only a short rehearsal period. I was fortunate to be working with the amazing Maestro Jerry Shannon, who knew every note and every word, and all I ever needed to do was look up and he was right there to guide me. I’m always grateful to perform with people I trust and admire. Who are some of your influences or favorite singers or performers? I love many classic sopranos — Tebaldi, Freni, Caballe — but the greatest influence on my career is my husband Sean — a pop singer-songwriter who is a consummate performer and show-biz chameleon. I’m a frequent guest soloist with his a capella group, performing a hybrid genre we call “doowopera” (check out doowopera.com for a taste of the next big thing).

What is the most challenging part of being an opera performer? Being apart from my family is hard. When my daughter was an infant we took her to my gigs all over the world — China, Finland, London, Israel, Hawaii — but now that she’s in first grade she can’t travel with me during the school year. What is the most fulfilling? I love being on stage, singing gorgeous music with talented colleagues and connecting with the audience. I am thrilled to return to Pensacola to sing Mimi (a role I have sung over 60 times) with tenor Dinyar Vanya who is my great friend and most frequent Rodolfo. We have such affection and admiration for each other that doing this opera with him is like coming home. What advice would you give to aspiring opera singers? It’s a tough road. Know why you are doing it, know yourself, and be prepared to be your own biggest advocate. One of the hardest things for singers coming up is believing in themselves as artists, especially after years of “training” where they are forced to heed everyone’s (frequently opposing) advice and opinions. It takes unshakable confidence and a true understanding of what one has to offer, how one can collaborate with others to create beauty and contribute toward this wonderful art form. What’s unique about the Pensacola opera community? There is so much warmth and love in the Pensacola community. It is a wonderful place to work and I hope to return often. The most incredible asset this opera community has is Kyle Marrero—a terrific director, an inspiring leader and a great cheerleader for opera. He is a real treasure.

Jerry Ahillen, Pensacola Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, is a native of St. Louis, Miss. who moved to Pensacola in 1994. He holds a B.A. in Theatre from Fontbonne University in St. Louis. He has been involved in the PLT since 1995, both on and off stage. He served on the Pensacola Little Theatre Artistic Committee and chaired the Studio 400 Committee for five years prior to being hired as production manager in 2006. He has won several awards for acting as well as directing. In 2007, he was honored to be named Pensacola Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-time artistic director, though he still continues to perform often and appreciates a lot about both sides of the process.

Theatre

Ahillen

Jerry

Artistic Director

Tell me a little about being a actor and director. Well I’ve been doing theater for 20 years now. I started as a performer and became a production manager in 2006. When the position of artistic director opened up, I applied and was selected in 2007. It was such a gradual and natural transition for me and I’ve learned a lot from both aspects. What is your practice routine like? It’s different for musical and non-musical shows. In musicals, because you have dance choreography and songs to learn, we generally rehearse for eight weeks, following the audition and readthrough phases. For non-musical shows, we do all that in six weeks. Again, this is after we hold auditions and read through the play with everyone. For lead characters, it is often important to have separate, individual, independent practice times to help get more into character and really disappear into your role. You just have to remember that up there, it’s not about you; it’s about the character and the whole show. What was your most memorable performance? I would say in 1999, in Guys and Dolls, when I played NicelyNicely. It was my big musical number and after I was done, the crowd was just applauding and cheering so much. We had to wait forever to continue the play. I was on top of a desk and I was supposed to stay up there, but my director made the motion to go ahead and get down and wait for the applause to die down. It was such a great moment for the whole show. The other was when I played the mother in Hairspray a few years ago. A good friend of mine was playing the daughter, and just to have that connection on the stage was an incredible experience. Who are some of your influences or favorite actors? I think Hugh Jackman, Matthew Broderick, and Neil Patrick Harris are incredibly talented geniuses. They’re great performers and they

can do so much. I really look up to them. My favorite, though, is probably Nathan Lane; he’s just a genius. What is the most challenging part of being a performer? I think disappearing into character, and that whole process, is the most challenging. Jerry might have a headache or something, but that can’t show onstage. Onstage, it’s just the character. Often, that takes a while. Usually, it’s when I put on a costume or a missing piece clicks into place, but absorbing into that role is challenging but necessary, What is the most fulfilling? Definitely the audience. When you really connect with the audience and give them something, and the audience is with you there, and responsive, it’s just an incredible feeling. What advice would you give to aspiring theatrical performers? Definitely to work hard and allow yourself to take risks. You have to be willing to let loose and become the character. What’s unique about the Pensacola theatre community? I think part of what’s unique is because we are a military town. We see so many people come in and out. A lot of community theaters don’t have that revolving residential base, so they stagnate. They have the same people in every show. We often have a lot of the same people, but with the military presence, there’s a constant refreshing. Also, we have this amazing building and facility that we own, which a lot of community theatres don’t have. We’re also surrounded by so many other great arts organizations. Those who play in our orchestra often play in the symphony, and things like that. It’s a great community, and we’re very fortunate to have that richness of art here.

Pensacola’s homegrown comic personality T. Bubba Bechtol—the product of James Terryl Bechtol—didn’t start out on the path to comedic stardom. His natural sense of humor and charisma propelled him through a career in sales and then in the professional speaker circuit, and even through a brief stint in politics, when he worked as a fund raiser, speech writer, and ran for office himself. After turning to comedy, he became a favorite at the Grand Ole Opry and expanded his Bubba empire into television, radio, comedy albums and even authored a book, Who’s Your Bubba? He recently won Comedian of the Year at the 20th annual ICM Faith, Family & Country Awards.

Comedy

Bechtol

T. Bubba

Comedian

Tell me a little about being a comedian and about your recent award. After 35 years in the biz, it was the first award I ever won for my comedy. The ICMA is the organization that awards comedians that do “clean comedy.” Long ago I made the decision to make that my type of comedy. I had heroes like Jerry Clower, Minnie Pearl and Jerry Seinfeld, Red Skelton, and they all were able to get laughs without resorting to bad language or other actions. I liked that and I’m proud that I went that way with my humor. I came out of the National Speakers Association, not comedy clubs or night clubs. I was a professional speaker for 25 years before I went into the country music market. That was the only type of comedy one could do; I was a perfect fit. After 19 years on the Grand Ole Opry as a guest comedian I had a comedy album go gold this year. I think that made the difference in the voting. A gold record for singers is no big deal, but it is for a comedian.

What is the most challenging part of being a comedian? Without a doubt…the travel. For 27 years I traveled in excess of 289 days a year. I tell people that I get paid for traveling—not the 50 minutes I’m on stage; that is the easy part. It took a toll on my health but I got back into shape and it extended my career. If I could do it here and not have to travel, I would do a show five nights a week! The second thing is writing the comedy. I have several outlets for that on radio, news articles and my book, Who’s Your Bubba, which is still selling quite well.

What about the most fulfilling? Oh, that one is easy! I firmly believe that “laughter is God’s hand on the shoulder of a troubled world.” God only made a few people that have the ability to make others laugh and forget their problems for a while, and those that can, should! I knew from second grade that I could make people laugh. I never wanted to be anything else. I waited until late in life to do it because I was a single father to my sons and I didn’t want to risk their futures with anything as “risky” as show busiWhat is your practice routine like? ness, so I waited until my youngest son Carter was in college before I I practice alone in a room, on my friends, and write often. My daily ever did my first stand-up comedy. I was in my late forties. I had a short Bubbatorials on NewsRadio 1620 keep me in the comedy mood and I career because of that, but I never regretted it. My boys were more just try things out a few times. If people laugh, then I put it on the important to me than being a celebrity ever was. They still are. albums. What advice would you give to aspiring comics? What was your your most memorable performance? It is harder now than it used to be. But if you want to be a writer, write! I think that would be Oct. 26, 1996 with my debut on the Grand Ole If you want to be an actor, act! And if you want to be a comedian, find Opry in Nashville, Tenn. I got five encores! They would not let me off a place that you can get on stage and be funny! Those places are out the stage. The other one that comes to mind is three times performing there. Begin with civic and service clubs, go the corporate convention in the White House for three different presidents: Reagan, Carter, and way like I did and then make your move into show business. There are two words in that: show and business.
