Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion Coming Soon (November 12,
2007)
The World Golf Hall of Fame will unveil a special exhibit that celebrates
the stories of Jack Nicklaus’ benchmark career in
golf and his successful career and life off the course. “Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion” will open in conjunction
with the 2007 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Nov. 12 and will remain on
display for one year.
Nicklaus’ indelible impact on the game of golf began
at age 10, the year he first picked up a golf club and carded a 51 in the first
nine holes he ever played. The special exhibit’s storyline will begin with his
youth and storied amateur career and extend through the greatest professional
career to date, showcasing artifacts, memorabilia, photos, video and text.
“Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion” also will
delve into the important role family has played in his career, the time and
resources he and his wife Barbara have devoted to charitable causes, his
personal interests and hobbies as well as his business endeavors around the
globe, which includes a firm that has designed more than 310 golf courses in 30
countries.

HMS PINAFORE
Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Set sail aboard the HMS Pinafore—Gilbert & Sullivan’s hilarious comic
operetta of love, hypocrisy and mistaken identities. Pledged by her father to
marry the head of the British Navy, young Josephine finds herself hopelessly
torn between love and duty when she secretly falls in love with a common
sailor! A remarkable twist of fate changes everything when a long kept secret
slips, tumbling everyone into fun, frivolity and fortune! The show is performed
by London’s Carl Rosa Company, a unique international touring company known for
bridging the gap between conventional grand opera and popular musical theater
without departing from the original materials and musical compositions.

The Night of the

March 28 to April 12
Within the broken down environs of a cheap Mexican Hotel, the human needs and
conflicts of a group of people thrown together by circumstance, become
explicit. Many of the characters and much of the plot is driven by the desire
for and the consequences of sexual relations. Alternately funny and
heartbreaking, Williams takes us into the moving, tormented heart of the human
condition and proposes that the spirit survives even beyond the limits of anguish.

THE TEMPEST
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 7:30 pm
The Tempest by William Shakespeare presented by The Acting Studio. Lovers meet,
villainy is uncovered, and passions are unleashed in this magical story from
one of the world’s greatest playwrights. A mighty storm shipwrecks Queen Alonsa, Dutchess Antonia, and
their party on the shores of a mysterious island. There they are tempted by
spirits, teased by sprites, and tormented by monsters—all by the unseen hand of
Prospera, the woman they marooned and betrayed years
ago. Will Prospera inflict a horrible vengeance or
will she forgive the women who wronged her and her son? Find out how this
classic tale unfolds on the Lazzara stage as we
present The Tempest. The latest adaptation of Shakespeare’s work, considered
both a comedy and a romance by critics, is presented by The Acting Studio—New
York’s finest acting school, acclaimed with producing award winning talent and
considered the country’s “Home of the Serious Actor.”
