![]() ![]() ![]() The costume designer (Kathleen Geldard) plans and produces what the actors wear. ![]() The scenic designer (James Kronzer) creates how things look on stage. The dramaturg (Megan Alrutz) is an expert in creating theater who helps the writer and director perfect the play or musical. The composer (Deborah Wicks La Puma) writes the music to go with the lyrics (the words to go with the songs). The director (Jerry Whiddon) organizes and leads the whole team (think of the director as kind of like “the boss”). No pressure! And yes, that’s the same Mo Willems who wrote and illustrated all the Elephant & Piggie books. The writer or playwright (Mo Willems) imagines the whole story and plans what all the performers on stage will say and also sing. But before you watch, let’s meet the team and learn what they do to create a musical (a story told on stage with actors, songs, and dancing). You’ll hear them discuss three main parts of creating a musical-the writing, music, and design. Members of the team will discuss the process of bringing “bestus” friends Gerald and Piggie to life. Gerald and Piggie, your favorite elephant and pig, right there on stage, talking, singing, and dancing-as Gerald might say, unpossible? Oh no, very possible! But taking a story from the pages of books to the big lights on stage took a lot imagination and problem solving from a whole team of people. ![]()

The foreign payments raise questions about Hunter Biden’s business activities while his father was vice president, but the committee does not suggest any illegality about the payments from foreign sources. Republicans also alleged that Hunter Biden used his familial connections to help facilitate a meeting in 2016 between a Serbian running for United Nations Secretary-General and then-national security adviser to the vice president Colin Kahl. ![]() New bank records cited in the memo were obtained by the committee through a subpoena and include payments made to companies tied to Hunter Biden.

By 1975, the 225 was rated at a meek net horsepower of 95 hp and torque of 170 lb-ft. As the emissions requirements on the internal combustion engine increased in the late 1960s and 1970s, the 225 was fitted with ever increasing power sapping emissions components, which hampered engine performance and drivability.

The drawing (on p.39) of the boy, Mark, lying on the windowseat in the dream house is hauntingly sad. They wonderfully capture the contrast between Marianne’s own drawings, which are so key to the plot, and the ‘reality’ they translate to in Marianne’s dreamworld. These illustrations, unlike the cover, have stayed with me for decades. It just falls flat and captures nothing of the excitement or fear so central to the book. ![]() ![]() The cover shown here is by Juliet Renny and, even though this has been one of my favourite books since I first read it in about 1970, I’ve never liked this cover (nor any subsequent covers, to be honest). 1958 (Faber & Faber), edition shown is 1964 Puffin paperback. ![]() ![]() And Gabriel is certain that she will greet the news of her betrothal with enthusiasm, and a devotion to duty equal to his own.
