'There are two kinds of people in the world, as ye very well know,' Peter Cormican asserts in a lilting accent, 'those that are Irish and those that want to be.' The English-born actor, son Irish parents - a Protestant mother from Belfast and a Catholic father from Galway - is currently in Maine to make his Maine State Music Theatre/Portland Stage debut in Frank McCourt's play The Irish and How They Got That Way, directed by Marc Robin, which opens in Portland August 19th. The production, a bold new collaboration between two of Maine leading Equity companies, marks an exciting new chapter for both theatres and promises to be one of the season's biggest hits, as it has been in every town its played. Cormican is joined in our conversation by two of the other four principals from the a small cast that also stars Curt Dale Clark [see BWW interview 5/24/16], Charis Leos and Cary Michele Miller, (and features Cameron Wright and Emily Davis, Ernest Sauceda (fiddler) and two other musicians). Both Leos and Miller are MSMT veterans, but new to McCourt's play. 'This is my debut at Portland Stage,' Miller says with anticipation. 'I always look forward to working with Curt and Charis and Marc, and I am enjoying getting to know Peter. And I am always excited to learn new material and new music.'

June 4, 2015 – East Providence, RI – David Wax, who served as the Philharmonic's Executive Director from 2000 to 2007, passed away on Thursday, May 21. David came to Rhode Island after an already illustrious career in orchestra management, having served as General Manager of the Minnesota Orchestra and Executive Director of the Houston Symphony. David led the initial years of the Music School/Orchestra merger. He brought enormous intelligence, experience, and kindness to his role as Executive Director. To the Orchestra, he also brought remarkable artistic insight and created our now very successful Rush Hour series. David and his beloved wife Elaine were grand hosts to the many donors, artists, staff, board members and soloists who enjoyed incredible meals at their home. The important relationships they cultivated continue today. For his service, he was awarded the John Hazen White Leadership Award in 2008. Since departing the Philharmonic, David served as interim Executive Director for a number of remarkable arts organizations, including Opera New Jersey. Most recently, he was the Executive Director of the Gamm Theater in Pawtucket. David continued to sing with the Providence Singers and performed on our joint Messiah this past December. Elaine and he were regulars at our concerts. He continued to have a close relationship with many in the Philharmonic family. We mourn his passing and are saddened by this loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Elaine and his daughter Alexandra in this difficult time. A memorial service will be held this Friday, June 5, 11:00 AM, Temple Beth-El, 70 Orchard Avenue, Providence.
