'Typewriter in the Sky' was first published 75 years ago in the November-December 1940 issues of Unknown Fantasy Fiction. In recognition of this anniversary, James Sullos, President Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., offered his congratulations on the diamond anniversary with a presentation made at the L. Ron Hubbard Library in Hollywood, CA, Tuesday, December 22. Sullos presented a plaque to Galaxy Press President John Goodwin, which read: 'Congratulations to L. Ron Hubbard on the 75th anniversary of Typewriter in the Sky. What literary and creative genius to have the featured antagonist modify the author's storyline to become the protagonist. Edgar Rice Burroughs and Mr. Hubbard are pulp fiction legends. Their personal interchanges spoke fondly of their respective talents. May both of their legacies continue to survive over the centuries.' 'Typewriter in the Sky' remains one of Hubbard's most celebrated titles. In the book Resnick at Large, authors Mike Resnick and Robert J. Sawyer cite 'Typewriter in the Sky' as an example of 'Recursive Science Fiction,' a subgenre described as science fiction about science fiction.' It is additionally listed in 'Fantasy: The 100 Best Books,' by James Cawthorn and Michael Moorcock. In 'Rivals of Weird Tales: 30 Great Fantasy and Horror Stories from the Weird Fiction Pulps,' Robert E. Weinberg, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz and Martin H. Greenberg write that 'Typewriter in the Sky' is classed among stories published in Unknown which 'still rank as some of the best fantasy produced in this century.' Author David Wingrove notes in 'The Science Fiction Source Book,' 'His [Hubbard's] best work is outstanding within the pulp tradition: 'Typewriter in the Sky' is a fine fantasy about a man who gets trapped within a story written by a pulp writer.' Writing in A Short History of Fantasy, authors Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James characterize the book as 'The best of Hubbard's stories' and notes that it 'is better seen as a rationalized fantasy.' Typewriter in the Sky is available from Galaxy Press, Amazon.com and BN.com in both print and digital formats. http://www.galaxypress.com/product/typewriter-in-the-sky/ Born on March 13, 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska, L. Ron Hubbard was one of America's most prolific writers of popular fiction producing over 15 million words of fiction with a writing career that spanned over five decades. During the 1930s and 40s he authored more than 200 short stories, novelettes and novels under his own name and any of his 15 pen names at a production rate of about 100,000 words a month. His published works from that era encompassed adventure, detective, science fiction, western and fantasy work and can be found at www.GalaxyPress.com.

The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) is proud to announce an exciting Fall Season. All performances are at the White Plains theatre, located on the third level of City Center off Mamaroneck Avenue and Main Street in downtown White Plains.

OC's award-winning regional theater company 3-D Theatricals' latest effort is a remarkably admirable, visually-stunning iteration of Disney's TARZAN® THE MUSICAL that defiantly dazzles and entertains despite the inherent, unavoidable shortcomings of its licensed source material (a problematic book and mostly forgettable score). Thanks to the incredible combined efforts of the show's creative team of brilliant theatrical artisans, its richly striking orchestra, and its top-notch, super-talented ensemble cast (led by Devin Archer and Daebreon Poiema), this ultimately winning local production has certainly earned all its well-deserved cheers. Under the showmanship-style guidance of director Rufus Bonds Jr., 3DT's vividly colorful TARZAN manages to rise (at times literally) high above the original show's weak plotting, Hwang's sometimes stale dialogue, and Collins' run-of-the-mill lyrics... and triumphantly emerge as a wonder-filled, visually-stunning treat for all ages.

TARZAN THE MUSICAL is the latest winner in a string of ambitious musicals by the Dawson producing team at 3-D Theatricals (Gretchen, Daniel, Jeannette and T.J.). Perhaps it isn't surprising that a family run company would know the kind of heart it takes to bring to life a Disney adventure musical about the power of family and finding one's place in the world. In any case, TARZAN is one big show that succeeds beautifully under their care.

So werde auch ich, wie alle anderen Affen, uber den Kopfen der Zuschauer fliegen. So etwas gibt es nur bei TARZAN und macht dieses Musical einzigartig", freut sich Willemijn Verkaik. Probenstart wird fur Willemijn Mitte Juli sein, ihre Premiere im Stage Apollo Theater ist aktuell fur Ende August geplant.
