Florida Premiere of Semi-biographical Musical based on the Life of Edgar Allan Poe, Soon to be Unveiled

Cue the spooky music!  Sol Children Theatre will shortly be producing “Nevermore,” a one-act musical based on the life and work of literary great, Edgar Allan Poe.  The show is based on Poe’s short stories and poetry; the plot that drives the suspense derives from Poe’s shifting obsession with the women in his life.  With hauntingly beautiful melodies, “Nevermore” breathes new life into Poe’s work and explores a twisted true-life tale that is as bizarre as his classic stories of the macabre.

The genesis of “Nevermore” was composer Matt Conner’s purchase of a $5 anthology of Poe’s works.  Conner was initially inspired by a little-known poem, “Dreams,” in the very back of the book.  He recounts, “The poetry, filled with meter, rhythm, and percussion drove me to unlock the mysterious, obsessive life of a soon-to-be lyricist already one hundred and fifty years deceased.  Even Poe himself, panned for his ‘musicality’ as a writer, felt that true beauty was the combination of music and poetry.”

Matt Conner is a composer and actor in the Washington, D.C. area.  He has recently been commissioned by Signature Theatre to create a new work based on the Underground Railroad.  “Nevermore” originated with Signature Theater in 2006; since then, the show has been performed by seventeen theatre companies in the United States, Canada, and England.  From Urban Arts Productions in Victoria to Webster University’s Conservatory of Theater Arts in St. Louis to the Kensington Arts Theatre in the U.K., “Nevermore” has been welcomed and Matt Conner lauded as a bright new voice in musical theater.  The original production at Signature garnered praise from The Washington Post, whose staff writer Peter Marks described it as an “entrancing new musical” and “a dreamscape of a musical set in a writer’s fugue state”:

“The Poe of Nevermore is himself a haunted object.  What the creative team of Conner, [director] Schaeffer, and book writer Grace Barnes conceive is a free-floating, psychological postmortem of the man as revealed through his powerfully sensual relationships with words and, just as vitally, with women.”

The upcoming Florida production will be produced by Sol Children Theatre, the dream child of veteran director Rosalie Grant.  Grant’s desire to create a highly professional children’s theater with sustainable and supportive training for young people led her to found Sol Children Theater, a non-profit theater organization that thrives on service to its community.  The “troupe,” veterans of previous productions at Sol, are teen actors committed to meeting regularly to continue training outside of the rehearsal process and performing in support of other not-for-profit institutions.  The Sol Troupe regularly performs at the South Florida Renaissance Fair and Gumbo Limbo’s annual Sea Turtle Day.  The Troupe was recently seen at the Delray Public Library’s Centennial Community Day Celebration and the Relay for Life at Quiet Waters Park.

Producing theater that adults as well as children can enjoy, Sol looks forward to its next production, “Nevermore,” which will be performed June 14th through 16th, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Stop These 21 Thieves of Success

By Roberta Budvietas, Business Mentor

Thief

Suggestion to stop the thief

Your self talk

Watch what you say about yourself

SNIOPEs (Subject to the negative influence of others)

Let no one else, especially family and friends define or limit you

Time thieves

Stay in control of your time. Set a time to handle the phone, emails, visitors

Doubt

Remember that hindsight is almost perfect but doing nothing means you achieve nothing so give it a go

Priorities

Identify what is URGENT and what is important and keep your goals  in mind when setting priorities

Money Attitude

Develop an attitude to money that establishes your self-worth and stay aware of your attitude about worth, value and money

Breaking your word

When you break your word with others, you first break your word with yourself so only give your word (promise) when you intend to keep it.

Doing things partway

Finish what you start and finish it to the best of your ability. You can revisit and amend later but do your best first time

Assuming you know what the other person is thinking

Restrict the number of assumptions you make about any situation to 0. That way you always get clarity about what they are thinking (HARD)

Forgetting that others are self-centered

Remember that everyone ‘s world revolves around themselves and they seldom really think or care about what you want or need so be clear in how you help others and what you want in return

Misunderstanding what tribes are all about

Gangs, tribes , family and friends all come with obligations. Understanding the rules and expectations of the tribe, helps you achieve more.

Misunderstanding the money cycle

Unless you understand the basics of money, economics, debt and finance, your attitude to money will be limited

Giving too much because of self-worth perception

Giving is good, especially at the start of a relationship but you need to allow the other side to give back too. That way you get a win-win

Coping when things go wrong

Remember that things go wrong. Develop techniques that reduce your panic and stress when they do.

Mismanaging the little things

Do things simply and once only. Saves later on time and allocation. Develop simple systems for common daily activities to reduce stress and problems

The Do-it-all yourself syndrome

Yes you can do it all yourself but sometimes it is better to get help. Remember that your children and partners learn to help and share your excitement and that builds better people when you get them to help out

Forgetting the big picture and getting caught up in the details

Remember that while the details are important, many details are time wasters rather than time savers because they fail to help you achieve your goal

No Preparation

Always take time to find out what you need to know and do before doing something. It will save time and reduce stress and costs.

No Plan

A simple plan that says do this and this and this to achieve that helps keep your on track for achieving your objectives

No Action to achieve performance

Unless you get up off the couch and do something nothing happens so prepared and plan but then do the work

Afraid to learn

Develop a habit of learning something new every day and work to improve your mind and body daily.

The preceding list is expanded and explained in the Stop the Success Thieves ebook, webinars and program. Sign up to find out more at

About Author Rick Polson

 

 Rick  Polson

 

Communications is an art that I have taken to heart since high school. After helping to set up and participate in an on-campus radio station, I went on to study broadcast communications, receiving a Bachelor’s degree from Curry College. Since then, I have held a wide range of positions in the fields of Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations.

I was an Account Executive at several broadcast facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Boston, Massachusetts; and Tampa Bay, Florida – selling, writing, and producing ads for numerous industries. I also was an on-air participant in some locations. As a Public Relations Manager for an international computer product manufacturer and distributor, I was deeply involved in branding global product lines. I also have advertising agency experience, involved with all aspects of client relations and placement of marketing programs.

Throughout my career, I have held high expectations for my staff and myself. It is important that everyone is properly trained in their focuses, whether sales, customer service, advertising or marketing. Communication is also important to encourage a continual flow of information to build confidence in the company and staff.

I mastered several computer programs, including Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher), Sales Tools (ACT, Goldmine), and social media applications (Facebook, Twitter).

So, you just started a business

    This compelling new book by Rick Polson – ”Making a Superstar Company” – gives new business owners a way to understand the different types of marketing and advertising vehicles available to them. It is written in a style where “you’re sharing a cup of coffee or meal” with the author while he tells you how these things work. There are many historic references and examples to give the reader an understanding of newspaper, radio, cable/TV and the Internet just to name a few.

            As the author says, ”Most small business owners are experts in retail, restaurants, service companies like air conditioning or plumbing, but most have no real grasp on how to gain a customer base and build a business. That’s why I wrote the book. To help them grow and be successful.”

            He goes on to tell us that there are plenty of examples in each chapter that the reader can put into place immediately and grow their business successfully. If read a chapter or two at a time, the new business owner can build their organization in steps and be successful. It is also a benefit for business owners of any current business as a review of new ideas.

            The book is available at many eBook channels like Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, ebookstore.sony.com, Smashwords.com and many more. You can also contact Rick at bigrickbook@yahoo.com. It will be a paperback in the spring.

The Nancy Ferrari Show features Dr. Michael Nuccitelli to discuss Cleveland Kidnapping Suspect, Dark Psychology and Profile of the Malignant Sociopath

The Nancy Ferrari Show, airing live on Monday, 9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET will dedicate its show to the three young women rescued in Cleveland, Ohio.  On May 6, 2013, the Dark Psychology and news of Cleveland kidnapping suspect, Ariel Castro, and his three captive victims being rescued shocked the nation. It is now one week later and the brave women are reunited with their family after being held captive and tortured for over a decade.    As many of Americans try to make sense of such a horrific crime, I have called upon my expert, Dr. Michael Nuccitelli, who is a New York State licensed psychologist, certified forensic consultant and author of the Information Age Forensics construct, iPredator & theoretical criminology construct, Dark Psychology.  Dr. Nuccitelli will discuss the profile and motivations of the alleged kidnapper, as well as discuss a sub tenet of his criminological construct he has termed the Malignant Sociopath and suspects the alleged kidnapping may fit this profile.

As a forensic psychologist, Dr. Nuccitelli is author of the new theoretical criminology construct called Dark Psychology along with its sub-tenet termed, Malignant Sociopath. A brief definition of each is as follows:

Malignant Sociopathy: A sub-tenet of Dark Psychology, Malignant Sociopathy is defined as a rare and extreme form of the classic definition of the Sociopath. A Malignant Sociopath is a male or female who exhibits the extreme form of Sociopathy, does not suffer from an acute psychiatric mental illness, is predominantly driven by the need for absolute power and control and views the enslavement of their victim(s) as a priori as opposed to taking their life, engaging in sexual and/or violent victimization, stealing their valuables or causing them psychological distress.

The current accepted definition of a Sociopath is a personality disordered person that exhibits patterned behavior similar Antisocial Personality Disorder, often criminal or deviant, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. The Sociopath also exhibits amoral behavior, fails to learn from his/her experiences, lacks the ability to establish meaningful personal relationships, extremely egocentric and narcissistic and frequently engages in fantasizing about wanting to victimize, torture and enslave a targeted victim(s). The Malignant Sociopath is the severe form of the sociopathy, extremely rare and is fixated upon absolute domination, control and enslavement of their victim(s).

Note to Reader: For purposes of fully understanding the Dark Psychology and sub-tenet of Malignant Sociopathy, Dr. Nuccitelli views the profiles of the Psychopath and Sociopath as synonymous with slight variation in modus operandi and subjective processing systems. Under his interpretation, the Psychopath tends to be more isolative, a loner and less likely to intrinsically value social relationships.

The Psychopath can either be isolative, a loner and less likely to intrinsically value social relationships or behave in the opposite manner, but still have these internal perceptions. The other variation different from the Sociopath is that the Psychopath experiences a delusional, dissociative or severely disturbed worldview that fuels his/her victimization pursuits.

Dark Psychology is the study of the human condition as it relates to the psychological nature of people to prey upon others. All of humanity has this potential to victimize other humans & living creatures. While many restrain or sublimate this tendency, some act upon these impulses. Dark Psychology seeks to understand those thoughts, feelings and perceptions that lead to human predatory behavior. Dark Psychology assumes that this production is purposive and has some rational, goal-oriented motivation 99% of the time. The remaining 1%, under Dark Psychology, is the brutal victimization of others without purposive intent or reasonably defined by evolutionary science or religious dogma.
