🌌 #8 of our top 10 Favorite Finds of 2024: Solar Eclipse viewing and digging black tourmaline clusters at Powers Farm, Pierrepont, NY!

Digging this classic American locality was so cool, but getting to collect during a 🌚 total solar eclipse 🌚 ?? Totally singular experience, and by far the #1 astronomical event of our year. Powers Farm was the most peaceful place ever to watch the eclipse. The tourmaline here is dravite-uvite, not normally black—this locality also yields unique black phlogopite mica, tremolite, diopside, quartz, and much more. What a cool way to kick off our rockhounding year!

Darren Criss Is Betting Big on Maybe Happy Ending, the Musical You're About to Fall in Love With

Darren Criss on the Timelessness of MAYBE HAPPY ENDING

Darren Criss has danced up the corporate ladder as J. Pierrepont Finch, stripped down to his skivvies as a queer East German rock star and tackled the “profane poetry” of David Mamet. And still, he says, there’s one thing he hasn’t done: “I haven’t taken any risks on Broadway.”

That ends this season with Maybe Happy Ending, a new musical on a mission to draw audiences to the Belasco Theatre without the benefit of a recognizable title, popular source material or songs that have already spent time on the Billboard Hot 100. “It's a really, really hard market right now to be making art,” Criss says to Broadway.com Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek, chatting at So & So's Neighborhood Piano Bar. And commercial Broadway theater? It’s “tedious, expensive and a gamble.” So naturally, Criss is going double or nothing as both star and producer of Broadway’s next thrilling crap shoot.

Maybe Happy Ending takes the trappings of a classic love story and inserts futuristic robots with outdated software. Criss plays Oliver opposite Helen J Shen’s Claire—a pair of Helper-Bots who, on a quest to contact their former owner, evoke a kind of Millennial-Gen Z mismatch. But rather than getting swept away by love, the two retired machines take the concept itself and try to break it down to its zeros and ones. As Criss explains, “[It’s] two computers trying to computationally synthesize and process what love is and why human beings do this.”

The musical was a hit when it debuted in Seoul, South Korea nearly a decade ago, and now, writers Will Aronson and Hue Park have a crafted an English-language version that Criss thinks has the potential to ascend to the proverbial Heaviside Layer of musical theater. “This is the seminal version that I hope can last in perpetuity for the ages,” he says, adding confidently, “I do feel like this is a timeless piece.”

Original musicals have the most challenging road on Broadway. But when you look to grassroots successes like Urinetown, or Dear Evan Hansen, or even The Prom—which ran in New York for less than a year but inspired a starry film and a slate of regional and international productions—you see how quickly an unknown quantity can become canon. “People are always like, ‘There’s no one creating original things,’” Criss says. “They are. It’s just really, really hard to produce them because you really have to believe in something hard enough to be OK with the risk.”

The fact that Maybe Happy Ending has earned that belief from some of the theater’s heaviest hitters is telling. Director Michael Arden, hot off a 2023 Tony Award for his revival of Parade, chose the piece as his next musical. And producers Jeffrey Richards and Hunter Arnold, with nearly 20 Tony Awards between them, have given Arden free rein to make a capital “B” Broadway meal of it.

The show’s cast is deceptively modest (Marcus Choi and Dez Duron complete the four-hander), but there’s nothing minimalist about Arden’s vision for Maybe Happy Ending or the high-tech space he’s worked out with set designer Dane Laffrey. In short, “They don’t f**k around,” says Criss. “This show is very technologically advanced. I think it's kind of the ace in the hole that people aren't expecting.” He tosses out comparisons to Miss Saigon’s descending helicopter and The Phantom of the Opera’s haunted chandelier—emblems of the bygone ‘80s megamusical. In an era of subtlety and economy (think recent Tony winners Kimberly Akimbo or The Band’s Visit), this, Criss promises, is “a big-a** mother**king spectacle.”

It's another bold, all-in move from the Maybe Happy Ending team, but Criss is determined to hedge no bets this time around. He looks back at his Broadway resume: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (“Glee was white-hot and I was going in for three weeks after Daniel Radcliffe”); Hedwig and the Angry Inch (“People love that show. With or without me, it would be just fine”); American Buffalo (“A beloved and respected American play”).

“They're all classics to some degree,” he concludes. “This is not that.” Of course, understanding what Maybe Happy Ending is not is less of an issue than getting audiences to understand what it is. Right now, Criss says, there are rumblings around town that it’s “the cute little robot show.” The thought puts a mischievous grin on his face: “You have no idea.”

The tiara was given by Lady Annora Charlotte Pierrepont of Thoresby Park, daughter of Charles Pierrepont 2nd Earl Manvers and her husband Charles Watkin Williams-Wynn, an ancient family of aristocratic Welsh politicians and owners of much of the border region of Wales, to their daughter Mary Williams-Wynn on the occasion of her marriage to Henry Goulburn Chetwynd Stapylton JP in 1886. The tiara was left by Mary Chetwynd Stapylton, nee Williams-Wynn, to her daughter Annora Esther Osmaston, nee Chetwynd Stapylton. Thence by decent."

The Hall Bradford-on-avon

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing The Hall Bradford-on-avon. This is the 12th building for my English Collection.

History of the house: The Hall was built around 1610 for John Hall, a wealthy mill owner, and is at the east end of the town. The Hall family of Bradford can be traced back to at least the 13th century, under the name of "De Aulâ" or "De la Sale" (salle being french for hall). John Hall's grandson, also named John Hall, had no legitimate children and left his estate to his great-niece Rachel Baynton. She later married William Pierrepont, who became Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull, giving the house its alternate names. After the second Duke died without issue, the house was sold to Thomas Divett, in 1802, who established a woollen mill, and sublet the house, which fell into disrepair. In 1848, the house was sold to Stephen Moulton, who undertook major restorations. During the restoration, many old documents were discovered, which were catalogued by Canon J.E.Jackson.

This house fits a 50x40 lot (I think if you lose the gaden and terrace it can fit a 40x30 too)

It is not furnished, just the carcase for the house, so you can create the interiors to your taste!

Hope you like it.

Ralph Winstanley Wood and His Son, William Warren Wood

Artist: Francis Wheatley (British, 1747-1801)

Date: 1787

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA, United States

Biography

Ralph Winstanley Wood was born on October 9, 1745, the son of William Winstanley Wood, of Wigan, Lancashire. He reportedly ran away from school and enlisted in the "Saucy Greens." He later took a commission in the 8th Hussars and sailed for India. On the voyage out he met Mary Margaretta Pearce, whom he subsequently married. Their son William Warren, born about 1780, was named for his godfather, Warren Hastings, whom Wood befriended in India. Having left the army on Hastings's advice, Ralph Winstanley Wood accumulated a fortune as a salt agent. In 1785 he bought Pierrepont Lodge in Frensham, Surrey, and he built a house in Highfield for one of his daughters, who had married a high official in the East India Company Civil Service. He invested heavily in Bocham, Taylor & Company, the business concern of another son-in-law, his daughter Elizabeth's husband. When the firm declared bankruptcy, Wood lost his fortune and was forced to sell Pierrepont Lodge. He and his wife went to live at the Highfield house, which their daughter and son-in-law had preferred not to occupy. Pierrepont Lodge was purchased by Crawford Davison, who subsequently married another of the Woods' daughters, Mary. Following his wife's death in 1808, Ralph Winstanley Wood lived on as a widower for twenty-three years. He died at the end of March 1831, and was buried in Frensham church yard on April 2.

Painting Description

In this painting, Ralph Winstanley Wood exhibits the familiar affection that characterized many late-18th-century portraits. Reaching around his son’s back, he draws him close with a kind smile. This physical and psychological closeness shows the influence of the 18th-century French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who urged fathers to take responsibility for their sons at an early age.
