n story by ARIEL TURNER | renderings by URBAN DESIGN ASSOCIATES

The final Downtown Master Plan for the city of Greenville by Urban Design Associates was presented to the public May 29 at a packed-house meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce.

The final version, which focuses on five particular areas of recommended improvement, will circulate through City Council, the Planning Commission, and the Design Review Board this summer, said Mary Douglas Hirsch, real estate development manager with the city.

The five areas identified as key to the city’s growth are the mobility network (trail system and connectivity), Unity Park area and the West End, Buncombe corridor, East Downtown, and Augusta Street and South Downtown.

In 2018, the city of Greenville hired UDA, an international urban design and architecture firm headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to develop a strategic master plan for downtown.

The last master plan was completed in 2008, and the city has changed enough in the last decade to make a new plan a priority, Hirsch said.

“The overarching purpose of this plan is to recognize that the downtown footprint is much bigger, and we are dealing with growth on so many levels,” said Mayor Knox White. “So it’s more important than ever to have a ‘people-focused’ 4

downtown – walkable and a human scale on the street level, even as we grow. That also means more emphasis on trees and water – the essential elements of our city.

These things keep us uniquely Greenville.”

Previous master plans, beginning with the first in 1907, led to the construction of Cleveland Park, mixed-use and residential components downtown, and the reclaiming of the Reedy River, White said.

The objectives of the plan were to attract and retain businesses, residents, and visitors while ensuring the uniqueness and authenticity of downtown; position downtown for the attraction and retention of a workforce for the new economy; and continue the right blend of development and redevelopment.

“One of the things that we did here was to look at where growth was happening,” said Rob Robinson, UDA principal who presented the final plan. “And we identified very specific areas to take a kind of deep dive in, rather than trying to paint the whole city with one brush.”

One area of specific interest for city officials that the plan highlights is the cultural corridor along Buncombe Street.

“We want a better pedestrian connection between Main Street and Heritage Green,” White said. “They really went for that in a bold way.”

The planning process took several

mobility in greenville

Connecting all of the downtown adjacent areas is key for the growth of the city, according to the master plan.

“We think one of your biggest issues facing you is to transform highways … and just make them urban streets, ones that can carry a lot of traffic, but are great to live on, ready to walk on, good for the quality of life,” Robinson said.

Bob Geolas, former CU-ICAR executive director now consulting on the master plan, called out the main corridors as problems.

“They’re dividing up the city; they’re getting in the way of transportation, mobility, walkability,” he said.

months and the project team worked with a variety of downtown stakeholders, including property owners, residents, businesses, developers, philanthropies, and elected officials, many of whom were present at the meeting, to develop a unified vision and comprehensive implementation strategy.

In addition to Urban Design Associates, the project team also included Hawkins Partners (landscape architecture/public space design), HR&A Advisors (market analysis), Thomas & Hutton (civil engineering), and Walker Parking (parking strategy).

Now that the plan has been released, there’s a lot more work ahead. After going through the DRB, the Planning Commission, and two readings with City Council, adjustments will be made based on feedback from those meetings.

A main focus will be determining what the character of each area should be now that we have this road map, Hirsch said.

Then strategies and priorities will begin to be implemented, and additional study will likely be necessary, including how all of the initiatives will be funded, she said.

White said the city’s track record of forging public/private partnerships, usually exceeding the plans, bodes well for turning all of the various ideas for growth and development into reality.

The main goal for this area is connecting Heritage Green to Main Street.

The master plan also recommends the city consider making Heritage Green a city park with active programming and transforming Buncombe Street into an urban boulevard that would be safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

In the neighborhoods, reconnecting disconnected streets is necessary.

“We need to connect things up a little bit so we can walk from one place to the next,” Robinson said.

For the area between South Main Street and Church Street, the master plan cites several goals, including a proposed public-space spine to link to Reedy Creek, Falls Park, and South Downtown.

One proposal is to transform the space under the Church Street bridge into a public park.

Additionally, creating more front doors on the street and developing a strategy to recruit companies to that area are recommended.

UNITY PARK'S REEDY RESTORATION

Michelin donates $1 million for Unity Park’s Reedy restoration Greenville’s new Unity Park recently received $1 million from The Michelin Corporate Foundation to aid in protecting and restoring part of the Reedy River.

Michelin’s donation is the largest contribution to the park to date. The river restoration will be an early part of the park project.

To honor Michelin’s gift, the city will name Unity Park’s nine-acre greenspace Michelin Green. A half-mile section of the Reedy River splits the park and runs along the greenspace.

Michelin Green will function both as the park’s gathering place and lawn seating for the outdoor stage.

“In the spirit of mobility that brings people together from all backgrounds and walks of life, Michelin hopes that the project will encourage recreation, inclusiveness, exercise, and sociability for Greenville residents and visitors alike,” a spokeswoman for the company said. “As a global company that employs nearly 9,000 employees in the Greenville area, Michelin is hopeful that this restoration

will continue to attract top talent and international business to the Upstate area.”

Being a long-time corporate citizen of Greenville, Michelin brings people to the community from all over the world.

“Michelin has been part of the Greenville community for nearly 40 years, and is proud to partner with the City of Greenville on the beautification of Unity Park,” a spokeswoman for the company said. “Consistent with the commitments and values of the Michelin Group, the Michelin Corporate Foundation thoughtfully uses its resources to make a meaningful and measurable difference in the lives of people by creating sustainable value and stronger communities.”

Greenville Mayor Knox White says Unity Park is seeing a great response from the corporate community. “But, Michelin is special because Michelin was the first to reach out to me almost five years ago to begin the discussion about Unity Park and what it’ll mean to the community,” White says.

n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos PROVIDED

Improving the quality of life and the sustainable mobility of local residents are important missions for Michelin. White says creating parks and greenspaces allows for both. “[Michelin] always recognized it was critically important to maintain a high quality of life in our community as we grow since we’re in such a growing community,” he says. “Balancing our growth and quality of life are why parks and greenspaces are so important to that.”

The 60-acre Unity Park hopes to unite Greenville and be a park for all people. White says that means the park will address the im-

community that gets it right when it comes to growth.”

Mary Duckett, longtime resident of the Southernside neighborhood, says Michelin Green will beautify the area.

“It’s going to put pride within those of us who remember what it used to look like,” she says. “And the good news is that there’s something about greenspaces that make people feel secure.”

As a park for all, Unity Park offers security and freedom in Duckett’s eyes. “To go somewhere where it’s nice and cool, you see the beautiful green, you see different people co-

mediate neighborhood and community and its history — past and future, and it will embrace the people who are new to Greenville while recognizing Greenville’s history of foreign investment.

“All together — the river, the falls, the green space — goes to the core of who we are and what we value,” White says. “I think if we keep a focus on that, we’ll continue to set Greenville apart in terms of a growing

mingling together, it just does something for my spirit,” she says. “And I hope it will for everyone else.”

Duckett was thrilled to see Michelin make such a “fabulous donation” and wants to see other organizations follow in their footsteps.

“With an investment into the park and this community, you are investing it into the future of the next generation,” Duckett says.

“The word unity speaks for itself.”

COUNTY SQUARE

development moves forward with more details from RocaPoint Partners n story by ARIEL TURNER | renderings by WAKEFIELD BEASLEY & ASSOCIATES

A movie theater, organic grocery store, three-story fitness facility, and national co-working space, totaling as much as 3.5 million square feet with additional hotel, retail, office, and residential use, are part of the updated County Square development plans presented to County Council May 29 by developer RocaPoint Partners.

Additionally, expanding on the success of the Swamp Rabbit Trail system, the 37.5-acre site will include trails connecting the development to the main arterial roadways.

The proposed 250,000-square-foot County Square building stepping from four stories at the front to six stories along Church Street will accommodate up to 1,000 employees. As the focal point of the project, it will also include plaza-level retail that would likely be a lunch spot and coffee shop. The civic plaza surrounding the building will be flanked by veterans’ memorial walls. View corridors from all main roads will lead to the County Square building, giving it prominence.

All of these details, including the proposed timeline and budget, which remains the same as presented a year ago, were part of a presentation by RocaPoint Partners principal Phil Mays and project manager Danielle Handy.

Mays said the new County Square building, though nearly 200,000 fewer

square feet than the current one, will be a much more efficiently used space for the square footage.

The timeline RocaPoint gives for the project hinges on the County Square building: • 2019 Finalize county building design.

• 2020 Building under construction.

• 2021 County offices move into new building; demo other county buildings.

• 2022 Install infrastructure for entirety of project.

• 2023-24 Begin selling off pads for development.

Mays said the modern glass building will provide a dramatic backdrop and create the value for the rest of the project and will be up for at least a year before other tenants come through.

He said a number of tenants across the country are interested in the site, but it’s too soon to name any of them, nor will construction begin on those additional components without tenant commitments.

“We wouldn’t be building a million square feet of spec office, let’s put it that way,” he said.

He also predicted it would take eight to 10 years before the site is totally stabilized.

MEET THE FACE BEHIND

“Crazy cat lady” may be an understatement. With 23 resident cats at her cafe and two cats at her home, Jennifer Bronzel cares for feline fur babies before, during, and after work.

Some might consider her a professional cat lover.

Opening Greenville’s unique Organic Cat Cafe and Music Lounge in 2017, Bronzel fulfilled her cat dream of owning a business. “One of the main goals is to convert everyone into a cat person,” she says with a laugh.

In 2011, she saw an announcement for a cat cafe opening in London, and that’s where her American dream began. Originally from Germany, Bronzel worked in the automotive industry and lived in England before moving to Greenville for her work.

Throughout her time in Greenville, Bronzel continued researching and forming a business plan for Organic Cat Cafe. “It became a better and better idea,” she says. “I thought, man, Greenville is such a perfect place. It’s a small town. There’s nothing like that.

And it’s growing like crazy.”

NEED TO KNOW

Fast-forward to today and Bronzel works full-time with her partner Ernesto Cardenas at their new downtown cafe, making coffee, feeding and playing with kitties, talking with customers — oh, and of course, cleaning lots of litter boxes.

Although she never owned cats as a child in Germany, Bronzel had an affinity for felines, especially tigers and lions. “I remember all I wanted was plush toys in the cat shape,” she says.

So, Bronzel did what any cat lover would do when she left home for college. “Before I even had my furniture, I adopted two cats,” she says.

Living out her vision for the cat cafe, Bronzel seeks to do more than provide costumers with coffee and kitty cuddles.

“I want to bring cats to the people, but I also want to make them aware of healthy nutrition, organic food choices,

how things are recycled and reused,” she says.

Bronzel calls the cafe a “creative healing cat sanctuary and music lounge.” In addition to lots of local art on display

| NEWS

and for sale, Organic Cat Cafe also offers painting, jewelry making, and pottery classes.

The healing part of the definition represents cats’ therapeutic benefits, she says. Yoga, massage therapy, and sound healing are also available.

Bronzel says the cafe is obviously a cat sanctuary because of the 23 resident cats as well as the cafe’s adoptable cats. Partnering with nonprofit pet rescues, Organic Cat Cafe adopted out 99 cats by the end of 2018.

“All the money that is paid for adoptable cats goes straight to the rescue center,” she says.

Another goal of Bronzel’s was to create a space for people to gather. “It doesn’t matter how old you are, how you look, how much money you have, everyone comes here either for the cats, music, or art,” she says.

“But, they’re all together.”

When Bronzel and Cardenas aren’t at the cafe, they’re traveling the Southeast for music and art gatherings hosted

by Cardenas’ company Dimensions of Being.

“So cats and music are really a big part of our life,” Bronzel says.

We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!

“Anytime I have a problem, Corley is always ready to save the day!

I have never been disappointed with any technician that has come out to help me with whatever issue I was having. Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical – they are all very

knowledgeable, friendly, prompt.”

— Robin M., Inman

ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY

BY REBECCA HOWERTON

Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s education programs engages community with classical music Grandy said the Greenville Symphony Association is extremely grateful for a 2018 Capacity Building Grant from The Community Foundation of Greenville of $10,000 to fund new technology, including computers and a projector. The group was able to pay it forward by donating the old computers to the Shepherd’s Promise preschool.

“ Since its founding in 1948, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra has created opportunities for everyone to enjoy the shared experience of live orchestral music. From its earliest days, the GSO has prioritized education, presenting a children’s concert in its third season. Now in its 72nd season, the orchestra offers world-class performances that inspire civic pride, while keeping education and community engagement at the center of its mission.

“When most people think of the GSO, they think of concerts at the Peace Center, but equally important is what we do in the community. Music education is at the core of who we are,” said Linda Grandy, development director. “Last year, we served 28,000 students and their families at over 165 events.”

For decades the symphony’s Lollipops concert series has taken free programs geared towards young children to Greenville County satellite libraries and the Hughes main library.

Once Upon an Orchestra, a collaboration with South Carolina Children’s Theatre, offers free performances for young listeners featuring music, acting (character narration), and interactive

audience participation.

“It’s important for us to remove barriers and serve the whole community,” Grandy said. “These two programs incorporate a story with real classical music—not watered down—and are developmentally appropriate, interactive, and allow time for children to speak with the musicians.”

The GSO also works closely with Greenville County Schools to further music education. EdReach sends musicians into all 51 elementary schools with performances by the string quintet, woodwind quintet, and solo percussion for grades 3–5, rotating each year so that over three years every student sees all three programs.

The annual Children’s Concert brings up to 3,000 upper-elementary age students to the Peace Center to experience the full orchestra performing classical favorites and pieces from their Masterworks season. Maestro Edvard Tchivzhel invites two lucky students to join him onstage as guest conductors.

Each season, 21 musicians team up “Shoulder to Shoulder” with Greenville County Youth Orchestra members and “Side by Side” with the Carolina Youth Symphony to practice and perform

with these middle and high-school students. The newest GSO program, Music Mentors, sees GSO musicians visiting 10 partner sites throughout the school year to provide personal instruction to selected high school and middle music programs, then inviting the young musicians and their families to come to GSO concerts by providing generously discounted tickets.

All Greenville County students and teachers can purchase $10 tickets to GSO Masterworks and Chamber concerts. And education doesn’t stop with graduation: Before every Masterworks concert, a free talk is offered where audience members of all ages can learn more about the composer and the historical context of the music to be presented.

Regular ticket prices cover only about a third of the cost to present a concert, Grandy said, with the rest covered by donations. The GSO’s annual budget for education programs is $445,000.

“We couldn’t do it without individual and corporate donors and grant makers who help us put the musicians on the stage so they can also be out in the community doing these programs,” she said.

WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF THE GSO, THEY THINK OF CONCERTS AT THE PEACE CENTER, BUT EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS WHAT WE DO IN THE COMMUNITY. LINDA GRANDY

GSO development director

“The Greenville Symphony Orchestra is a pillar of the cultural landscape of Greenville. It has maintained a loyal base of patrons as well as attracting new residents who have moved from large cities who are impressed by the high quality of their performances,” said Bob Morris, CFG president. “Providing the money to help the business office upgrade its computer systems and network will improve the efficiency of ticketing and donor cultivation, ensuring generations of future audiences can hear live performances of classical masterpieces as well as innovative new works.”

JUNE 7 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Along with naming three finalists for its city manager position on June 3, Greenville City Council members also decided on their first choice — John McDonough, the city manager of Sandy Springs, Georgia.

City council approved entering into negotiations with McDonough — pronounced mac-DAWN-uh — after completing its second search for a city manager in the year since former city manager John Castile announced he was leaving the post.

The city initially named three finalists in October after using Springsted|Waters, a national search firm, before council members decided to start the search over.

Mayor Knox White said this time around was different — the city used Greenvillebased recruiting firm Find Great People to come up with 10 finalists before narrowing them down to six and then three.

“Their job was to knock on doors and find people who weren’t looking for a job and tell them why they should come to Greenville, South Carolina,” White said.

“They literally showed up on people’s doorsteps and said, ‘We want to tell you about Greenville, South Carolina.'”

McDonough, the city’s first choice, has been the city manager of Sandy Springs for the last 13 years. He oversees 500 employees and contractors as well as the city’s $463 million operating budget. Prior to Sandy Springs, he served as the city manager of Beaufort, South Carolina.

He has a master of public affairs from Indiana University at South Bend and a bachelor of arts in political science from The Citadel.

The city plans on having a new city manager in place by August, but White said the candidate could come on earlier.

If negotiations with McDonough don’t work out, White said the two other finalists are just as qualified for the job.

“All the candidates that we were looking at were just exceptional,” White said.

The other two candidates are Jeff Jones and Dan Hoffman.

This is a developing story. Check back at GreenvilleJournal.com for updates.

“Driving Miss Daisy” at Centre Stage, June 13-30.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:

Alfred Uhry’s 1987 play is a modern classic, the story of an unlikely friendship between an elderly Jewish woman, Daisy, and her African-American chauffeur, Hoke.

It’s a heartwarming, poignant and gently humorous drama.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the civil rights era in Atlanta, the three-person play explores changing times and the power of friendship.

“

IT’S ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS YOU WISH YOU COULD PL AY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE – A FABULOUS ROLE... IT’S BEEN A GREAT JOURNEY FOR ME. MYRA GREENE

Actor and Director

It also looks at the subtle prejudices that can mar even the best of relationships. Both Daisy and Hoke are outsiders, but Daisy, though well-meaning, has blind spots regarding race.

“Sometimes we’re blind to what we really believe” said Myra Greene, who plays Daisy and directs the play. “That prejudice lives inside, and we sometimes don’t recognize it. The play deals with subjects that are sometimes taboo as far as race relations and bigotry.”

“Driving Miss Daisy,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1988, charts the lives of Daisy and Hoke from 1948 to 1973.

Clark Nesbitt, who plays Hoke, performed the play with Greene

in 2017 at the Greenwood Community Theatre.

“Being southerners, we feel like we know these characters and feel close to them,” Greene said. “I’ve known Daisy my whole life and Clark feels the same way about Hoke.”

Bruce Meahl plays Daisy’s adult son Boolie, who also is on the receiving end of prejudice as a Jewish business owner in Atlanta.

“There are so many levels and layers to this show,” Greene said.

Many may know “Driving Miss Daisy” from the memorable, 1989 Academy Award-winning film adaptation, starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman.

Daisy, feisty and sympathetic, is one of the great roles of the stage, Greene said.

“It’s one of those characters you wish you could play for the rest of your life – a fabulous role,” Greene said. “I first saw the play in my 20s, and I put the role on my bucket list. It’s been a great journey for me.”

ELEPHANT & PIGGIE

JUNE 7 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Elephant and Piggie, Mo Willems’ beloved book characters, leap onto the Peace Center stage to dance their way into children’s and parents’ hearts alike.

Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play” follows the two on a journey that strengthens their friendship.

“They support each other so much,” director Mia Phillips says. “They’re able to have fights and they’re able to make up.”

The duo share the fear that something will cause them to be mad at each other forever.

But as all true friends do, they learn to forgive.

“Even when they’re afraid the show is over, they still cling to each other,” Phillips says.

The musical combines several of the children’s books in the stage adaptation. With peppy, upbeat, toe-tapping music, audiences will feel transported to another era.

“When people hear the music, it’s going to remind them of songs from the late ‘60s or ‘70s,” Phillips says.

The audience will even get in on the fun, the director says, which may or may not include some dancing.

Playing as Elephant Gerald, Krissy Tucker describes her character as cautious and a careful thinker. “He loves throwing toys and hanging with his best friend Piggie,” Tucker says.

The duo are as close as two friends can possibly be.

“They can be themselves around each other and love to laugh and play,” Tucker says. “Friendship is an essential part of life — laughing together, crying together, and going through the good and bad times together.”

Playing the role of Piggie, Molly Davis says her character is basically a radiant 5-year-old princess. “She’s very bubbly but still very in tune with other people around her and the energies that are surrounded by her,” she says.

When it comes to her friendship with Gerald, Piggie takes things very seriously. “Wherever Gerald is, Piggie’s not far behind,” Davis says.

While calling the play unapologetically silly and fun, Davis says it carries valuable lessons.

“How do you forgive your friend for breaking something of yours? That’s a level for young people but also for us adults as well to take these lessons with us through our lives,” she says.

A singing trio called The Squirrelles — with beehive hairdos and go-go boots — help fill the story with musical numbers. And, Piggie looks up to the trio that she considers to be cool.

Played by Sims Hall, Gianna Marullo, and Kaitlyn Hamilton, The Squirrelles are full of jazzy energy and sassy fun.

Before the show, audiences can enjoy a preshow party with their favorite things from the Elephant & Piggie books. Pink Mama’s Ice Cream will be on-site to sell sweet treats.

PROFILE

Clare Ruble story by SARA BOURLAKAS photos by WILL CROOKS

34

JUNE 7 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Clare Ruble is anything but just a simple ostrich.

The very first play she was in as a child, Ruble was cast as a floppy-legged ostrich in a rendition of “The Story of the Wide Mouthed Frog.” Though she wasn’t the titular Wide Mouthed Frog, Ruble danced and sang her little heart out and loved every second of being in the spotlight. It was then, she caught the theatre bug.

Now, at 23, Ruble is a working actor, performer, and Director of Corporate Development and Events at The Warehouse Theatre, still with the same bug.

If it’s any indicator of who Clare Ruble is, she is wearing dangling star earrings and has known just about every Greenville face she’s passed on just one strip of downtown Greenville.

She’s got star power.

Ruble was first fascinated by the Warehouse when she saw the play “Eurydice” on the Greenville company’s stage.

Because of that show, a retelling of the classic myth of Orpheus, Ruble was captivated.

She realized that theatre could be something deeper than having a blast as a goofy ostrich on stage, not that there’s anything wrong with doing so.

“Theatre is a way of making people feel something deeper and is a way to talk about something that can be hard to talk about,” Ruble explains.

Ruble says one of the most rewarding parts of theatre, is that it pushes people to accept.

“Because you’re telling so many different stories from a different point of view, you have to learn how to be accepting and to look at things a different way,” Ruble says.

“There’s an automatic acceptance in theatre in saying, ‘I accept your story.’”

During her senior year of college, Ruble was cast in “Spring Awakening” at The Warehouse. It was her first step on a professional stage. Ruble was nervous about how she’d be treated by the professional actors she’d sing, dance, and act alongside.

“Being that it was my first show, I felt as though I didn’t deserve any respect,” Ruble says. “But. every person I met at the Warehouse treated me with the most respect that I’ve ever received. They treated me like a professional and were so considerate of my ideas.”

Since her day one of “Spring Awakening” rehearsals, she knew The Warehouse Theatre was where she wanted to land.

When I asked her what she would tell an aspiring young actor, Ruble paused, then smiled. “Listen to your soccer coach if they tell you that you suck,” she laughs. “They’re probably right.”

THEATRE IS A WAY OF MAKING PEOPLE FEEL

SOMETHING DEEPER

AND IS A WAY TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE HARD TO TALK ABOUT. CL ARE RUBLE Ruble knew she didn’t fit the mold of her athletic and sports-minded family.

She knew she wanted to be on stage and spend all her time in the theater.

Now, she’s doing just that.

| ARTS & CULTURE

Day to day, Ruble works to get corporations and people to invest in The Warehouse and the art inside its doors.

“It was a dream of mine to work full time in theater, and that’s what I’m doing,” Ruble says. “My whole nights and days are spent in the theater.”

Coming up in June, Ruble will be in The Warehouse’s comedic production of “Pride and Prejudice.” The actress beamed and boasted about the show, already in the works. She plays Lydia and Lady Catherine, the 14-year-old that elopes and the old lady that disapproves of the marriage. Ruble’s not the only one playing two characters on totally different ends of the spectrum.

“Everyone except Lizzy and Darcy are double cast,” she says. “The show amps up the comedy of the family dynamics. It’s one of the funniest scripts I’ve ever read.”

Get ready for the opening of “Pride and Prejudice” this summer to see the whole hilarious cast. Until then, keep an eye out for Clare Ruble; whether she’s on stage or simply walking around her hometown, she’s bound to leave you smiling.

Gay chorus finds a warm southern embrace in Greenville Documentary of tour to be screened Sunday at Peace Center In a bitterly divisive moment in our nation’s history, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus toured the Deep South – including a stop in Greenville -- to spread a message of tolerance and unity through music.

Filmmaker David Charles Rodrigues found a perfect subject for a documentary.

“When I heard about the tour, I thought, wow, that is the most beautiful, positive, uplifting example of how we can create a bridge and bring this country back together,” Rodrigues said.

Greenville’s First Baptist Church plays a big role in “Gay Chorus Deep South,” Rodrigues’ award-winning documentary that will be screened at 5 p.m., Sunday June 9 at the Peace Center.

A panel discussion will follow the

JUNE 7 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

screening, featuring Rodrigues, Gay Chorus Conductor Tim Seelig and First Baptist Greenville Pastor Jim Dant.

When the 300-voice San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus – joined by the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir -- toured the South in the fall of 2017, they were greeted with some protest and ill will.

But mostly they encountered a warm southern embrace.

“The film highlights how human beings can move past divisive barriers and gain authentic community,” said Dant, the pastor of First Baptist Greenville.

“For me, that’s what happened on the night they performed at First Baptist.”

Stepping beyond fears On tour, the chorus traveled from Mississippi to Tennessee, over the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma,

n story by PAUL HYDE | photos PROVIDED

Alabama, and through the Carolinas, performing in churches, community centers and concert halls.

The final tour stop was First Baptist Greenville, which occupies an important part of the final minutes of the documentary.

“It was the first time a gay chorus performed in a Baptist church,” Rodrigues said, speaking by phone from Los Angeles. “It was really a profound and touching moment for the chorus and the congregation.”

First Baptist’s towering sanctuary was packed that night in October 2017.

“I was told that the church only sees such crowds at Christmas and Easter,” Rodrigues said It was First Baptist that had invited the ensemble to perform at the church.

“Tim Seelig, the conductor, had some anxieties about coming to a Baptist church,” Dant said. “My concern was dealing with community reaction. Our church is comfortable with who we are, but we always have to deal with some pushback from the community – not large numbers, but some phone calls and letters.

“But Tim and I agreed that we needed to step beyond our fears and do this,” he added. “It was a good thing, both for the chorus and our church and the Greenville community.”

The tour helped to erase lines that divide, Dant said.

“The chorus came to the South with certain assumptions about the South, and the South had certain assumptions about the chorus,” Dant said. “Every-

THINGS TO SEE & DO

where they went there was such a mutual benefit for both the chorus and audiences.

Our church realized it has been a good thing to be 100 percent inclusive and celebrate how God has created other people.”

Garnering awards The film has already won top awards at international film festivals, including Audience Choice awards for Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival and the Zurich Film Festival.

The documentary has been praised especially for telling a triumphant story of changing attitudes in the South.

“We had a few moments of contention and protest on the tour, but 90 percent of what happened was positive and celebratory, and that’s how I balanced the film as well,” Rodrigues said. “Our vision was always to make a film about people connecting and finding middle ground, having conversations. We knew exactly the story we wanted to tell.

“It’s a message of love and acceptance, not just of the LGBTQ community but any minority community,” he added. “I think it’s a great example of how we can use music to create a dialogue.”

“Gay Chorus Deep South,”

a documentary by David Charles Rodrigues

Rodrigues was given full access to the chorus and its performances during the tour. He and his crew spent a month before and a month after the tour in the South to explore community reaction.

What Rodrigues saw was churches advocating for greater tolerance and understanding.

“It was a really transformative and powerful experience for me to understand how uplifting and positive these congregations can be in creating positive change in communities in the South,” Rodrigues said. “It reinvigorated my own faith.”

| ARTS & CULTURE

He’s looking forward to returning to Greenville.

“I just fell in love with the town,” Rodrigues said. “I have great memories. I can’t wait to go back.”

Dant, for his part, has attended several screenings of “Gay Chorus Deep South” at film festivals and still finds a lump in his throat at the conclusion.

“It’s a great film,” Dant said. “I already know what’s going to happen and I still laugh and cry – a powerful film.”

WITH VINCENT HARRIS Shannon Ferguson was going to be an opera singer. At least, that was her plan when she began attending Converse College back in 2015. But she eventually decided that that wasn’t the path she was supposed to be on, and one day she found herself in one of adjunct professor John Jeter’s Music Business classes. Jeter, a former co-owner of the Greenville venue The Handlebar, was teaching his students how to create and promote concerts just like the ones he put on for nearly two decades.

Something clicked with Ferguson, and she knew she had found her new calling.

“We learned how to create a concert, finalize all the details that go into making one, and then promote it,” Ferguson says. “Whether that meant using the news or social media or word of mouth or even designing the posters, that class went into it all, and it really sparked a passion in me. When I took music business classes for the first time, I knew that’s what I was meant to do.”

Over the last several years, Ferguson has put her education to good use, organizing various concerts around the Upstate. Some of them spotlighted a single artist, like a performance by the electronic-pop band SHAED on the Converse campus. But most of them, like a 2017 tribute to Tom Petty at Tipsy Music Pub on Pendleton St., have involved multiple acts, with proceeds often going to charitable causes.

And as she moved from event to event, Ferguson (who still sings professionally as part of the Upstate variety band Hot As A Pepper) learned more and more about working behind the scenes as a concert promoter.

“Each event it helps me understand more about what goes into setting things like this up,” she says, “whether that means finding bands, or coming up with a theme for the show. I’ve learned that people want to come to-

ROCK N’ RESCUE

Shannon Ferguson’s concerts for a cause

gether to listen to music and support a great cause, and as a musician I want people to come out and see live music and experience the culture that our city has to offer.”

For her upcoming Rock N’ Rescue event at Love Where You Live Park in downtown Spartanburg this Saturday, the good cause part is covered: Ferguson wants to raise money for the Spartanburg Humane Society. And she’s got the good music part covered, too. In addition to Upstate vocalist extraordinaire Fayssoux McLean, who’s performed with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, among others, playing with guitarist Brandon Turner, the bill includes the distinguished 4 Out Of 5 Doctors (a rock band made up of college professors), the daredevil progressive-jazz-jam band The After School Special, and sure-handed folkblues singer/guitarist Jack Greer.

And she’s playing a serious addedvalue card, not just by bringing out food trucks and adult beverage vendors, but by bringing some of the Humane Society’s cutest ambassadors to the park for a meet-and-greet.

“Supplying interesting things at your event is key,” Ferguson says. “You can have live music, but there have to be other elements that keep people

there,” she says. “So the Humane Society will be coming out with some of their friendliest pups. They’ll be available to love and play with and hopefully take home with you.”

Interestingly enough, Ferguson went to the Humane Society with the idea for Rock N’ Rescue, not the other way around. She says that initial phase, when she’s presenting her concept for a show, is one of the most challenging things about planning an event.

“You have to create a vision for your event and then be able to pitch that to people,” she says. “You have to have most of the details in your mind before contacting anyone, and that can be intimidating because you have to present that vision to somebody else.”

SWEETBERRY BOWLS brings ‘good vibes’ to NOMA Square story by ARIEL TURNER | photos provided by SWEETBERRY

Greenville native and cancer survivor Zach Elliott partnered with Sweetberry Bowls, a health-focused fast casual chain, in 2017, and will open its first South Carolina restaurant this summer across from NOMA Square.

The location, 233 N. Main St., Suite 11, is exactly what Elliott, now based in Florida, was looking for to open a Sweetberry Bowls in his hometown.

“I think Greenville might be one of our best locations,” he says. “The location is phenomenal at NOMA Square.”

Elliott says Sweetberry Bowls will be open 8 a.m.-9 p.m., seven days a week, depending on sales and is actively hiring to open in June now that most of the upfit is complete.

One of the founding partners of the chain, Elliott and another partner, Kyle Kissane, operate two, soon-to-be three, stores in Florida. Sweetberry Bowls currently has 20 stores in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina.

Sweetberry Bowls was founded in 2017 to feed the growing community of health-conscious consumers. The goal is to inspire people to be more conscious of what they eat and their every day diet.

The menu follows the trend of fresh 40

JUNE 7 // GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

ingredients in simple, customizable forms: bowls, salads, oatmeal, smoothies, or wraps.

Bowls include açai, pitaya, green, or coconut bases with a variety of fruit, granola, and nut toppings. Six signature salads or the create-your-own option offer a variety of proteins with vegan and vegetarian options such as chicken, beans, quinoa, or chickpeas. Three different oatmeal bowls of steel cut oats and fruit or nut toppings offer a heartier breakfast option than the other bowl options.

Nine smoothies range from the kidfriendly PBJ (banana, strawberries, peanut butter, almond milk) to the more adult-leaning Green Energy (banana, vanilla protein, flax oil, spirulina, peanut butter, almond milk). The seven wraps grilled on a panini press are similar to the signature salad options, but served as hand-helds.

Elliott, who grew up in Greenville and now lives in Florida, was diagnosed with a rare cancer – osteogenic sarcoma – at 9 years old. He was given a 30 percent chance of survival. After a year of chemotherapy and treatment that resulted in losing his left leg, he’s been in remission for 15 years.

“It made me grow up quickly,” he says.

It also gave him an even deeper connection to the Greenville community that has allowed him to be involved in the fundraising and support of the newly completed Cancer Survivors Park.

With a focus on health and nutrition since his diagnosis, Elliott partnered with Sweetberry Bowls founder and CEO Desi Saran after meeting him in Thailand a year prior.

Never having worked a single day in

a restaurant but having the passion for health and business, Elliott and several other partners opened the first Sweetberry Bowls in 2017. Since then, Elliott has been looking for a way to get back to Greenville.

“I love Greenville. It’s my home,” he says. “I’ll probably always have a place in Florida. But the main reason I wanted to be in Greenville is to be close to my family.”

BUTTERFLY ADVENTURE

Roper Mountain Science Center | 9am-3pm | FREE-$8

Returning for the fourth year on Tuesday, June 11, is the ever-popular Butterfly Adventure, featuring a unique experience as hundreds of butterflies surround visitors within the natural rainforest habitat at Roper Mountain Science Center.

‘GATHER AT THE RIVER’: 25 AUTHORS ON FISHING M. Judson Booksellers | 7-8:30pm | FREE

A perfect Father’s Day event and gift, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Join us at M.Judson on Tuesday, June 11 at 7 pm to meet some of the authors who contributed to Gather at the River, a collection of 25 authors’ thoughts on fishing. Gather at the River includes Ron Rash writing about a 50-year-old fly reel and NYT bestselling author C.J. Box revealing the river where he wants his ashes spread. This is an anthology about friendship, family, love and loss, and everything in between, because as Henry David Thoreau wrote, “it is not really about the fish they are after.” Several of the contributing authors will be there, including David Joy, Scott Gould, JC Sasser, Mark Powell, and Ray McManus. Don’t let this night be the one that got away!

Congratulations To Our 2019 Graduates!
