Dolan Center for Science & Technology
Second Floor, Room A-202 (elevator available on main floor)
John Carroll University
We’re teaming up with John Carroll University for our 11th annual fall member event. That’s when we screen a TV musical, and in past years we’ve not only shared classics such as Peter Pan and Kiss Me, Kate, but also introduced you to unfamiliar titles such as Hans Brinker and Feathertop. What’s in store for you this time? You’ll have to join us to find out! That’s right: we’re keeping the title a secret this year. But we’ll tell you this much: It features a score by a top-drawer composer and lyricist team; it stars a Tony Award— winning actor; and it’s not available on DVD or YouTube. So this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance...
Bring a Friend! If you have friend who’d like to know more about TMTP, we hope you’ll invite them as your special guests. Give us their names and we’ll welcome them as part of our special evening!
RSVP by Friday, September 20th

Exploring the "American tribal love-rock musical"
Sunday, April 28, 2019 | 3:30 PM
Cinematheque at the Cleveland Institute of Art
John Savage, Treat Williams and Beverly D'Angelo star in Milos Forman's 1979 film version of the groundbreaking 1968 musical that celebrates the Age of Aquarius with such classic songs as "Good Morning Starshine," "I Got Life," "Easy to be Hard" and "Let the Sunshine In." Choreography by Twyla Tharp. The musical's original Broadway cast album was recently named a 2019 inductee of the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry, which annually recognizes 25 audio recordings "worthy of preservation because of their cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to the nation's recorded sound heritage."

10th Annual TV Musical Screening: Peter Pan
On October 10, more than 75 TMTP Members packed a room at John Carroll University's Dolan Science Center to see a special screening of the 1956 TV musical Peter Pan starring Mary Martin. They had a ball. Bill Rudman and JCU's Bob Noll shared background on this beloved musical directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins. After the screening, TMTP Member Jay Rockman, who saw the original on Broadway as a kid, said, "It was magical to watch her again. You can see how she could charm anyone." And Heather Meeker and TMTP Teaching Artist Trinidad Snider offered a demonstration of the Kids Love Musicals! residency exploring Peter Pan; our school program has been giving children a chance to sing, act, move and crow to the songs from the show since 2007. Only this time it was TMTP's adult Members who were doing the crowing -- led by Jay! He remembers Mary Martin teaching the kids in the Broadway audience how to raise their voices. "I'm an expert," he laughed, "because Mary taught me to crow over 60 years ago. I learned from the best!" So this annual Member event combined a rare video document of a great Broadway musical with a taste of how TMTP is introducing area children to classic musical theater. Said Member Lin Bartel, "I am so excited about what TMTP does to inspire our students -- they are the future audience for this art form." Watch the clip below to see Jay, Trinidad and the group crowing their hearts out! |
