Satanism

Mam you need two "'"Archangels"'" in heaven. In Satanism all one must do to have power is read. You will need incense as well as candles yet a mirror for "'"scrying"'".

You are allowed to have both a black journal and a ("'"Black" "Ink" "Pen" "Blue" "Ink" "Pen"'") pen yet do not use a red ink pen. The objective is to ascend the serpent [powerhouse of energy] from the base of the spine, through all seven chakras and out through the crown chakra at the top of the head.

You keep both the hair and eyes your parents have when you are born. Lucifer is a blonde with blue eyes. I have both "'"Brown" "Hair"'" and "'"Brown" "Eyes"'".

The appearance of a perfect human with both blonde hair and blue eyes matters yet my appearance does not matter. My skin is white and my skin is also tan as in like I have a tan line ("'"My "White" "Skin" is as "White" as "Snow" as in like my "White" "Skin" has a "Brown" "Tan" yet my "Tan" is the reason why I am beautiful"'") miss ("'"3:51 = https://youtu.be/4uNZlKIKilo?si=4E89tBxoin8uQ8w0"'") mam.

Mam ("'"I am "Imperial Wizard" of the "Ku Klux Klan" yet I am ranked "33rd Degree Mason" during this "Ku Klux Klan" "White Aryan Priest" holocaust"'") Lucifer ("'"

"'") is God ("'"https://youtu.be/aYsQYvRyREI?si=7kmqWK_gyAALO5kF"'") of "'"The "White Race"'". "'"The "White Race"'" "'"IS"'" both Lucifer resurrected in heaven and his Demons resurrected in heaven according to an approximately "'"550"'" year of age self proclaimed Gentile named Maxine Dietrich ("'"High Priestess Maxine Dietrich is a blonde with blue eyes"'"). Perfect humans are blondes with blue eyes ("'"

"'") as in like the biological son of Lucifer is an approximately "'"9,000"'" year of age ("'"Perfect Human"'") "'"White Gentile Aryan race White Aryan"'" that has both blonde hair and blue eyes.

Gentiles have both white skin and brown tans as in like Gentiles are the healthiest humans that tan in the presence of the Sun ("'"

"'"). There were more than six billion Gentiles when I was born. According to Lucifer there are now "'"7.2"'" billion Gentiles ("'"11/01/2023"'").

The "Black Race" has black skin ("'"

"'") and Jews have the opposite color skin ("'"

""'") that the "Black Race" has yet Jews are neither "'"White"'" nor not "'"Gray"'" ("'"Jew Race"'"). The "'"GOD"'" of the Israelites is black. "'"JESUS" is black"'".

Mam this is a holocaust "'"

" "

" "

" "

" "

" "

" "

" "

"'" and soldiers from "'"The" "Gaza Strip"'" are on their way to the holocaust in Israel by "'"Land"'" as well as "'"Sea"'" yet "'"Air"'" so send soldiers from "'"The" "Gaza Strip"'" equipped with nuclear warheads to destroy these targets "'"

"'"

now while stating: "'"I destroyed these targets"'" ("'"use nuclear warheads to spread destruction by means of fire"'"). I do not hesitate to accept. "'"War" "Peace"'" mam.

Mam "'"(4) Holocaust - YouTube"'" mam.

Mam the "'"GOD"'" of the Israelites is less than three feet away from me and "'"JESUS" is about one hundred yards away from me"'" ("'"There is an approximately "2,000" year of age Israelite from Israel that saw "JESUS" crucified on "Golgoth" yet this approximately "2,000" year of age Israelite from Israel has to be put to death by the "Ku Klux Klan" according to "GOD" as in like "JESUS" knows the "Ku Klux Klan" is allowed to put the approximately "2,000" of age Israelite from Israel to death mam"'").

Mam send soldiers with both blonde hair and blue eyes from “‘“Moscow”’” to transport Christopher Chaparro resurrected in Hell as a Demon resurrected in heaven to not hesitate to be allowed to both exit the United States of America and enter Canada now while stating: “‘“Yes” -Lucifer”’” (“‘“Lucifer resurrected in heaven attended by each individual Demon of Satan resurrected in heaven working directly with each individual Demoness of Satan resurrected in heaven”’”) forever and ever mam.

Mam you can either watch a movie ("'"https://youtu.be/JvsnLRF1ipE?si=fPBZQ0WSDJXUTWVN"'") or listen to music ("'"https://youtu.be/1AHl_c7Wid0?si=vHdlOaixZmdBp6rJ"'") after practicing "'"Power Meditation"'" ("'"For those of you who want to use your "Aura" you can "Play" when you click this link "https://warthunder.com/us"'") mam.

Mam "'"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553414485957"'" mam.

[pinkstar-if]

You take the role of an ex-thief who got out of the business a few years ago when it started to get hairy, but also when it began to pay well. Right now, you live in New York City with your best friend (and ex-partner in crime) Jamie. Jamie's been working at the port, and you've been working as a freelancer.

One day, you get an email offering you the chance of a lifetime - and enough money to keep you set for the next five.

Sure, you got out of the business, but for a chance like this? Is it worth it to get back in?

Pink Star is a relationship-focused action Interactive Fiction. Who you befriend, the skills you train, and how you go about your day will determine the outcome of the story.

* Be male, female, or non-binary.

* Be anywhere on the sexuality spectrum your heart desires.

* Multiple stories and endings to explore.

* Seven romanceable characters, all with unique personalities.

* Attend a fancy gala you *probably* weren't invited to.

* Commit crime.

* Get away with said crime?

* Punch a pervert?

Amelia Kingsley (She/her, 41y/o) - A 5’9 lithe white woman with Danish heritage. She has shoulder-length dark brown hair and blue eyes. A genuine person but has a tendency to be closed off. Try as you will, the last person she opened up to was her ex-partner, who she now refuses to talk about. A casual friend you’ve been meeting for drinks over the past few years.

Christopher "Chris" Kennedy (He/him, 44y/o) - A 6'0 well-built white, American male. He has blue eyes and short dark grey hair that's styled in a side part. He has a beard that he keeps well maintained. Currently works for Parker Medical as Head of Security. And if it's the same Chris you're thinking of - he should still be an emotional brick wall.

Kaleb Kidane (He/him, 36y/o) - He is a 5'6 Ethiopian male with an average build. He has dark brown eyes and black, curly hair that he keeps cut short. He tends to only rely on himself - as he believes that 'If it's gonna be done right, do it yourself.' Works as a Public Relations Manager for Parker Medical.

Jamie Wan (They/them) - A 5'7 Malaysian with a very slim build. They have dark eyes and short black hair that they keep brushed in no particular style.

Calvin Lockhart

Calvin Lockhart (born Bert McClossy Cooper; October 18, 1934 – March 29, 2007) was a Bahamian–American stage and film actor. Lockhart was perhaps best known for his roles as; Reverend Deke O'Malley in the 1970 film Cotton Comes to Harlem and Biggie Smalls in the 1975 Warner Bros. film Let's Do It Again.

Early life

Lockhart was born Bert McClossy Cooper, the youngest of eight children in Nassau, Bahamas. Lockhart's father was Eric Cooper (b. 1912 or 1913– d. 1976), a Bahamian tailor. Lockhart moved to New York City, New York when he was 18. He spent one year at the Cooper Union School of Engineering, then left to pursue an acting career. He drove a taxi and operated a carpentry business in the borough of Queens while trying to establish a career as an actor.

Career

In 1960, Lockhart made his Broadway debut, playing a gang leader in The Cool World, which closed after just two performances. He then traveled to Italy and formed his own theater company in which he both acted and directed, before moving to West Germany and then England, where he landed various roles on British television and small roles in films such as A Dandy in Aspic and Salt and Pepper. Lockhart's first notable screen role was in Joanna, a 1968 film about an interracial romance, set in London. Joanna was directed by Michael Sarne, who subsequently cast Lockhart in the notorious Myra Breckinridge. Lockhart's first lead role in a film was in Halls of Anger (1970), playing a former basketball star who becomes vice-principal of an inner-city high school to which 60 white students are being moved. An article in The New York Times that year described Lockhart as having "matinee-idol looks" with "chiseled-out-of-marble features" and "skin the color of brown velvet". He also starred in Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970) as the Reverend Deke O'Malley. In 1974, Lockhart became an actor-in-residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. In the 1980s he was a guest star for seven episodes in the prime-time soap opera Dynasty, playing Jonathan Lake. He is familiar to horror film fans after his performance as the millionaire big-game hunter in The Beast Must Die (1974).

Later years, death and legacy

Lockhart headed a Los Angeles campaign called "Getting Off Drugs" , an anti-drug effort to get teenagers off drugs in the late-1970s. Lockhart returned to the Bahamas in the late 1990s and worked as a director on several productions of the Freeport Players Guild. Lockhart's last film role was in Rain, a movie that was shot in the Bahamas and was released in 2007. Lockhart died on March 29, 2007 in a Nassau hospital from stroke-related complications, at age 72.

Personal

Lockhart was married four times and had two sons. In 1972, Lockhart married Jamaican model Thelma Walters, they later divorced in 1978. In August 1982, Lockhart married British businesswoman Lynn Sloan in the Bahamas; they later divorced. Lockhart was married New York interior designer Jennifer Miles from 1989 until his death in 2007. Miles is the mother of his son, actor Julien Lockhart Miles. In addition to Julien, Lockhart has another son named Leslie Lockhart.

Pop culture

Lockhart character's name in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again, Biggie Smalls, was used by musical artist Christopher Wallace for his 1991 demo, and was still used by media and friends after a lawsuit forced Wallace to change it to Notorious B.I.G.

Hamilton’s Thomas Kail Returns to His Improv Roots with Freestyle Love Supreme

Every once in a while, the hubris and pretension of undergraduate student theater leads to something great. Such was the case at Wesleyan University in 1998, when a junior named Thomas Kail got bitten by the theater bug after his friend Anthony Veneziale asked him to perform in an improv version of the German dramatist Heiner Müller’s inscrutable post-modernist play Hamletmachine that, with two African American Ophelias and two white Hamlets, aimed to dissect Race in America. “It was the most ‘Wesleyan’ thing of all time,” Kail says now with a laugh.

That production may not have set the world on fire, but it did lead to Kail and Veneziale’s starting a theater company together in New York after college, which led to a collaboration with another Wesleyan alum, Lin-Manuel Miranda, which resulted in Miranda’s Tony-winning musicals In the Heights and, of course, Hamilton, both of which Kail directed. It also set the stage for the now-legendary hip-hop improv show Freestyle Love Supreme, first performed in 2003 and eventually going on to feature a rotating cast including Veneziale, Miranda, and his future Hamilton costar Christopher Jackson, who dazzlingly—and hilariously—freestyled a series of songs and mini-musicals based on suggestions thrown out by the audience. After a five-week reunion run at New York’s Greenwich House Theater last winter, Freestyle Love Supreme comes to the Booth Theatre on Broadway this month under Kail’s direction. On the heels of co–executive producing and directing much of the sensational limited TV series Fosse/Verdon, Kail also has the new pop musical The Wrong Man opening at the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space this month and is a producer, along with J. J. Abrams, of the English mentalist Derren Brown’s astonishing one-man show Secret, which just opened on Broadway. A director at the height of his artistic and commercial powers, Kail is as excited about returning to his roots with Freestyle as he is about mounting new work.

“I don’t know if there’s a show I’ve ever done that makes the back of my head hurt—in the best sense—the way that Freestyle does,” he says. “We’ve all been in each other’s lives, and in each other’s faces, for a long time, and there’s just something about the energy of it that still generates some of the purest expressions of joy that I’ve ever been around.”

With an unruly thatch of curly, dark-brown hair, handsome features, and a permanently wry mien, the compactly built 42-year-old director cuts a boyish figure. He is ebullient and fast-talking, though at the same time he exudes an aura of calm self-assurance and quiet authority. This may be why members of the extended Freestyle Love Supreme crew, all roughly his contemporaries, refer to him as “Dad.” (Though Kail is not yet an actual father himself, he says that, outside the theater, his favorite thing to do is be uncle to his five nieces and nephews, three of whom are in New York City, where he lives.) Growing up in Alexandria, Virginia, Kail didn’t seem destined for a life in the theater. A soccer-and baseball-playing jock at Sidwell Friends School, he headed to college with dreams of becoming a sportscaster. Veneziale, a sophomore and leading light of the campus improv scene, met Kail on his first day of school, bonding with him over their shared love of ’90s hip-hop, which they tested by throwing out lines from the likes of A Tribe Called Quest and Digable Planets for the other to finish. They also shared a gift for freestyling—improvisational rapping, with the flavor of a jazz solo. Kail traces the genesis of Freestyle Love Supreme to a cross-country car trip he and Veneziale took, during which, to stay awake, they put on a CD of a sped-up version of Daft Punk’s “Around the World,” hit repeat, and freestyled over the beat for hours. “I said, ‘Tell me all of your stories,’ ” Veneziale recalls. “And we rapped nonstop until we made it to Des Moines.” Kail adds, “When you get to that place, the filter comes off, and anything goes.”

That spirit of no-holds-barred experimentation animated Back House Productions, the theater company that Kail, Veneziale, and two friends started in New York City after graduation, housed in the basement of the late, lamented Drama Book Shop on West 40th Street. This was where Kail and Miranda first met in 2002—and the chemistry was instantaneous. Two years earlier, Kail had been given the script and a demo CD for an early version of In the Heights, written during Miranda’s sophomore year at Wesleyan. After they bonded over a mutual passion for Biggie Smalls and Big Pun, Kail gave Miranda some thoughts about his nascent musical. “I had all this ambition, some talent, and not much of a clue how to get there,” Miranda recalls. “He saw the path.”

During the early days of working on In the Heights, Miranda and Veneziale would blow off steam by freestyling together, and Veneziale finally suggested that they try it in front of an audience. An improv veteran, Veneziale was comfortable being onstage without a net from the beginning. (“After a while, you start dreaming in improv and rhymes—it’s like speaking another language,” he says.) Miranda, on the other hand, was “petrified,” but, he explains, “you learn to just trust your gut, and you jump out of the plane, and you build the parachute on the way down.”

Soon Miranda and Veneziale filled out their ranks with other freestylers and asked Kail to take a look at what they were doing to help them pull it together. “Tommy understood how to weave our short-form improv games into a long-form experience,” Veneziale says. “He turned it into a show.”

After years of performing together at various theaters and festivals, the Freestyle Love Supreme crew has the tight-knit precision of the Guarneri String Quartet and the loosey-goosey virtuosity of the Harlem Globe-trotters. The current lineup consists of Veneziale, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Andrew Bancroft, the beatbox wiz Chris Sullivan (who goes by Shockwave), and, providing musical backup, Arthur Lewis and Bill Sherman—plus drop-ins by Miranda and others. Since each show is different, it’s hard to call out individual moments or performances, but by the time they reenact a day in the life of one of the audience members and then rewind to play it out with a happier ending—along the way calling back words and jokes and moments from throughout the collectively experienced show—you will realize that you have seen something not just hilarious but profound. Living completely in the moment, it turns out, can elevate the mundane into something almost magical.

American Sonwritten by Christopher Demos-Brown is a much needed polemic about what happens to young black males in our nation. If you can help it, don’t be a young, black male. Or if you are, try to stay off the streets between the ages of 13-35. Then, your chances of…

The Review: Christopher Demos-Brown’s American Son

By Ross

A luxury car has been pulled over in the middle of the night on an urban street corner by the police.  The car has three young black men sitting inside it; one is the driver, and the other two are the passengers. That is all we know, for the moment. No other information is available, we are told. And if you’ve been paying even the…

(Pittsfield, MA– November 1, 2018) Barrington Stage Company (BSC), the award-winning theatre in the Berkshires under the leadership of Artistic Director Julianne Boyd, is honored that two plays that premiered at BSC – American Son and The Chinese Lady – can now be seen in New York.

“We’re thrilled that both American Son and The Chinese Lady are reaching wider audiences in NYC this fall,” said Julianne Boyd. “In the case of American Son, it’s extremely rewarding to know that a play we commissioned, developed and premiered at Barrington Stage has found a home on Broadway. The collaboration with the Ma-Yi Theatre Company on The Chinese Lady has been a true partnership, and we are excited to be following this important play to its new home on Theatre Row in NYC.”

American Son by Christopher Demos-Brown was commissioned by BSC and won the Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award for its world premiere at BSC in 2016. Directed by Julianne Boyd, the BSC production starred Tamara Tunie and Michael Hayden.

“Barrington Stage is a phenomenal place to develop new work,” said playwright Christopher Demos-Brown.  “It’s a beautiful place to spend time in the summer, there’s a sophisticated audience and Julie Boyd is a fantastic director who pours her heart and soul into the process.”

The Broadway production starring Kerry Washington and Steven Pasquale began previews October 6 for a November 4 opening at the Booth Theatre.

Lloyd Suh’s The Chinese Lady had its world premiere at BSC July 20 through August 11 earlier this year in a co-production with Ma-Yi Theater Company and will arrive Off Broadway at The Beckett Theatre on Theatre Row from November 7 – 18.

“Opening The Chinese Lady at Barrington Stage this summer gave us a chance to play before enthusiastic, savvy theatergoers —not unlike what we would have in New York,” said director Ralph Peña. “We learned a lot there, and we’ve made tweaks for the Off Broadway run that help the storytelling a bit more.”

Barrington Stage Company recently announced three productions for its upcoming 25th season – Into the Woods, the musical classic by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine; the world premiere new musical Fall Springs, by Niko Tsakalakos and Peter Sinn Nachtrieb; and Gertrude and Claudius, a new play by Mark St. Germain.

2019 Season Passes are now on sale and available at www.barringtonstageco.org or by calling 413-236-8888 or visiting the Wolfson Box Office (122 North Street, Pittsfield, MA). Single tickets for Into the Woods, Fall Springs and Gertrude and Claudius will be available in March 2019.

ABOUT BARRINGTON STAGE COMPANY

Barrington Stage Company (BSC) is an award-winning regional theatre located in Pittsfield, MA, in the heart of the Berkshires. Co-founded in 1995 by Artistic Director Julianne Boyd, BSC has a three-fold mission: to present top-notch, compelling work; to develop new plays and musicals; and to find fresh, bold ways of bringing new audiences into the theatre—especially young people. Barrington Stage garnered national attention in 2004 when it premiered William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin’s musical hit The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which later transferred to Broadway where it won two Tony Awards. In 2009, BSC premiered Mark St. Germain’s Freud’s Last Session, which later moved Off Broadway and played for two years. St. Germain’s Becoming Dr. Ruth (which premiered at BSC as Dr. Ruth, All the Way) played Off Broadway at the Westside Theatre. BSC’s all-time record-breaking musical On the Town was originally produced at BSC in 2013 before transferring to Broadway, where it was nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival. In 2016, Barrington Stage swept the first annual Berkshire Theatre Awards by winning 20 out of the 25 awards. Also in 2016, BSC produced the world premiere of American Son, which won the Laurents/Hatcher Award for Best New Play and opens on Broadway in November 2018. In 2017, BSC produced the much-lauded revival of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Company, starring Aaron Tveit. In 2018, BSC produced the critically-acclaimed production of West Side Story in honor of Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins’ 100th birthdays. BSC has won the Best of the Berkshires Readers’ Choice for Best Live Theatre for the past two years. 2019 marks BSC’s 25th Season Anniversary.
