Victoria show in year’s top 10

By Terry Morris | Friday, December 9, 2011, 10:40 AM

“Traces,” the current attraction in the Victoria Theatre Association’s Dayton Broadway series, has been named one of the year’s 10 best plays or musicals by Time magazine.

It finished number nine, just behind Broadway’s current smash hit “The Book of Mormon.” Time’s “The Top Ten of Everything” issue was published Wednesday, Dec. 7.

“Traces,” an acrobatic/atmospheric show produced by 7 Fingers of Montreal, opened for a limited run earlier this year in New York, but has been extended there indefinitely due to audience response.

Dayton is one of just a handful of cities to host the touring version of the show. It will be presented through Sunday, Dec. 18, at the Victoria Theatre. For tickets and more information, call (888) 228-3630 or go to www.ticketcenterstage.com.

FilmDayton moves fest to August

By Terry Morris | Friday, December 9, 2011, 10:17 AM

FilmDayton has scheduled its 2012 film festival for Aug. 24-26, a shift from previous years when the event was in May.

The date is seen as a natural kickoff for the fall arts season and less of a conflict with a typically jammed spring schedule.

FilmDayton has also named several new board members: Basim Blunt, multimedia Instructor at Dayton Business Technology High School and Media Arts Ministry Leader at Omega Baptist Church; Bryan J. Bucklew, president of the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association; David Temmesfeld, multimedia editor at Reynolds and Reynolds and a filmmaker; Andrew Estevez, television production specialist for the City of Dayton’s Office of Public Affairs and owner of Plastic Image LLC; Nicole Richter, motion pictures area coordinator and assistant professor at Wright State University; and Terry Welker, architect, sculptor and chief building official for the City of Kettering.

They join board chair Ron Rollins, associate editor at Cox Media Group; Shaunn Baker, managing partner at World Stage Media; Steven Bognar, independent filmmaker and media arts educator; Neenah Ellis, general manager at WYSO; Lisa Grigsby, special events director at ARC Ohio; and Karri O’Reilly, producer/DGA production manager.
