Shortly after his birth, his parents Louis and Mamie separated leaving Mamie as the sole parent. In 1955, Emmett and his cousin went to visit family in Mississippi. His mother, conscious of the prejudice and racism rampant in Mississippi, instructed Emmett to “mind his manners” around white people. According to some, Emmett whistled at a white woman. Others say he grabbed her hand and asked for a date. Still others claim he said, “Bye, baby” as he left the store. What followed remains as one of the most brutal and senseless accounts of American racial violence in our history. The Lynching of Emmett Till explores the tragic death of this innocent and well-loved young boy and the powerful impact it had upon the emerging American Civil Rights movement.

A unique and riveting theatrical experience, CHARLIE VICTOR ROMEO is a live performance documentary derived entirely from the "Black Box" transcripts of six major real-life airline emergencies. Allowing the audience into the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, the play is a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a testimony to the ability to live to the last second of life.

CVR was produced by “Collective Unconscious” on The Lower East Side in 1999.   Since then the original production has played extensively Off-Broadway and internationally, winning 2 Drama Desk Awards, for Outstanding Unique Theatrical Experience and Outstanding Sound Design, and listed in 2004 as one of Time Magazine’s Best Plays of the Year.
 
York College is proud to be the only other theatre company, professional or amateur, to be given the rights to produce this play in the United States.

In 2000 The Wall Street Journal reported:  “Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Shattuck made CVR required viewing for West Point cadets majoring in Engineering Psychology…[He] is among many aviation professionals who believe the play can save lives. At the Pentagon, Capt. Varljen's job is to oversee regulations pertaining to Crew Resource Management (CRM) training…he says, unlike Air Force taped re-enactments, Charlie Victor Romeo captures "the emotional element" which helps to show "how stressful the event can really become."

The York College Theatre presents David Ives’,

ALL IN THE TIMING.

 

To begin the Spring semester of the 2010-2011 Season, the York College Theatre present’s an evening of comic jems exploring the pleasures and perversities of contemporary life in ALL IN THE TIMING.

All In The Timing consists of nine zany comedies all linked through the theme of time, communication and relationships. Playwright David Ives, a John Gassner Playwrighting Award winner, takes the audience on a veritable roller coaster of excitement and exploration. All in the Timing was the surprise comedy hit of the 1994 Off-Broadway theatre season in New York. Vincent Canby of the New York Times says the show is "like sketches for some hilarious, celestially conceived revue. The writing is not only very funny, but has the density of thought and precision of poetry. All In The Timing is by a master of fun. David Ives spins hilarity out of words." This production contains mature language and adult situations, and is not recommended for very young audiences.

Under the direction of Professor Timothy J. Amrhein, this production will feature the evocative set designs of faculty member David T. Jones, built by York College students under the direction of CLT G. Lawrence Belcon. It also features vivid lighting of guest designer, Daniel Winters. CLT, Jessica Pecharsky, member of Actor’s Equity Association, rounds off the list as production/stage manager.

The cast of ALL IN THE TIMING features York College students: Jasmaine Calizaire, Alex Constantinides, Fabella Decema, Kimberly Ferrer, Freddy Gonzalez, Joe Grasso, Jarrel Lynch, Sebrena Mason, Bukola Ogunmola, Ryshon Shepherd, Bernard Smith, Kimberly Sooklall & Phil Williams. Also involved are Assistant Directors, Kevin Fandino and La-Toya Mason; and Assistant Stage Manager Annmargaret Centeno.

Performances begin March 18 at 4PM, and continue running March 19 at 8PM; March 20 at 3PM; and conclude March 22 at 12Noon. All performances will take place in the intimate, 156-seat York College Little Theatre in the Performing Arts Center (94-45 Guy R. Brewer Blvd., Jamaica, NY 11451). Tickets are $7.00 for General Admission and $5.00 with a valid college ID and can be purchased at the door or ahead of time between 1pm and 5pm Mondays, and 1pm-4pm on Wednesdays and Fridays in the Performing Arts Center box office. For more information or reservations, call the York College Theatre Information line at (718) 262-5375, or visit York’s website (www.york.cuny.edu).
