Howard County Arts Council (HCAC) announces that The Mark Ryder Original Choreography Grant Program deadline for applications has been extended to June 11, 2010. The program was established at the bequest of his family, in honor of Mr. Ryder's life's work, to recognize individual creative expression and to provide financial assistance to choreographers to create new original work.
EMILY FRANKEL, dancer, choreographer, director, published author ('Splintered Heart,' Bantam Books) and wife of two-time TONY AWARD winner John Cullum ('August: Osage County,' 'Shenandoah,' 'On The Twentieth Century,' 'Urinetown'), has written five new novels, each with an intriguing heroine she'd like readers to meet.
John Cullum celebrates almost 46 years since his Broadway theatre debut by playing Max the dog in the upcoming Broadway musical Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
