What is the mystery of "Scotland Road?"

As history and human obsession collide in "Scotland Road," no one is who they seem to be in this atmospheric mystery. When a young woman is discovered adrift in the north Atlantic, seemingly a survivor of the decades-old Titanic disaster, a mysterious stranger must discover if she is telling the truth or creating an elaborate fraud. Scotland Road examines the power of secrets in this psychological cat and mouse thriller.

After a brief career on stage, Jeffrey Hatcher turned his hand to writing. His many award-winning original plays have been performed on Broadway, Off-Broadway, regionally across the United States, and abroad. They include Three Viewings, Scotland Road, Korczak's Children, A Picasso, Mercy of a Storm, Work Song and Lucky Duck. Hatcher has also written the screenplay for Casanova for director Lasse Hallstrom, as well as screenplays Secretary and Boys Don't Cry directed by Kim Pierce. He is a four-time participant at the O'Neil Playwrights Conference and is a member of the Dramatists Guild, New Dramatists, The Playwrights' Center, and the Writers Guild of America.

Lowry’s Spotlight Theatre's production of “Scotland Road” previews May 5 and runs May 6 through June 3 at the John Hand Theater in Lowry with performances on Fridays, Saturdays and Monday, May 15 at 7:30.p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.; Saturday, June 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 - $23 and available by calling 720-880-8727 or online at www.thisisspotlight.com.

Sigrid - Don't Kill My Vibe

Sigrid’s arrival has been extraordinary. Storming SXSW and with over 10M Global streams in just one month for a debut single, Sigrid today drops the epic video for ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’, directed by acclaimed duo J.A.C.K (Christine and The Queens). From a tiny town in Norway, Sigrid’s debut EP is set for release this May on Island Records.

Displaying remarkable song writing ability as a skilled lyricist, with hard-hitting and empowering words laced over unexpected and expansive melodies, Sigrid wrote her first song at 16-years-old and in just two weeks – when Sigrid’s older brother challenged her to write an original song and perform it at a local gig with him.

Born and raised in Ålesund, which sits at the entrance of a UNESCO-protected fjord surrounded by sea and mountains, it was as if Sigrid was always destined to drive the ten minutes across to the neighbouring island of Giske, and make music in the famously idyllic Ocean Sound Recordings.

Self-releasing her first song at High School and dropping a second track that was immediately playlisted on national radio, Sigrid moved to Bergen at 18 and was catapulted into the burgeoning music scene. Now signed to Island Records and currently splitting her time between Bergen and London, Sigrid has quietly been creating a world which emboldens her followers, through the power of the song.

Nice To See StevieB: Procrastinate

By StevieB

I have only three hundred more words to write on my first of three term papers. As I sat at the dining room table today, I saw the end in sight. Yet, it is a rough and tumble three hundred to still complete. There is not much more I can say on Philosophy from a Feminist perspective. So far, I’ve purchased two pair of jeans from Amazon, Googled “Pedant T-shirts/floppy gym shorts,” changed the bed linens, completed three loads of laundry, Oh…. and wrote this blog post. So sue me if it goes astray.

If I don’t complete the three hundred words, I will be forced to cancel a lunch plan I had with a very sexy boy. So…. really, I should be exploring Feminist Philosophy…..

…I really like the Levi jeans that have the longer back pockets. So, I bought some pairs. On line. Guess I see how they fit when they arrive, I am concerned for the D-bag factor. Or the "over forty year old attempting to dress like a twenty-five year old" because that could easily be the case. Welcome, one an all to StevieB's midlife crisis.

Oh, I got new Pumas. I have really stopped counting how many pairs of running shoes I own. I do know that I’m out of closet space and I now need to keep Pumas in my oven.

Alright, back to writing…. wish me luck.

Sudhanshu Saria's groundbreaking debut LOEV hits Netflix worldwide on May 1

LOEV tells the story of two friends with a complicated past - Wall Street dealmaker Jai (Shiv Pandit) and Mumbai based music producer Sahil (Dhruv Ganesh, in his final role before passing away in January 2015). The two share an emotional weekend on a road trip into the hills and canyons of Maharashtra where chances are missed, truths are evaded and an unexpected love develops.

Shot entirely on location in India, the film production was completed in secrecy due to the extreme LGBT laws in the country. Due to these censorship issues, the filmmakers are particularly excited to be launching the film globally with Netflix on May 1st, so that audiences across the world will be able to see the film in the safety and privacy of their own homes.

“I didn't think it would be possible to cast or finance a film like this,” Saria said, “So to find ourselves on the cusp of a worldwide release is truly spectacular. It speaks to Netflix’s taste and the way in which they empower filmmakers to speak out against oppressive societies and arcane censorship systems like the one we have in India.”

RuPaul Named to The Time 100

TIME named RuPaul to the 2017TIME 100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related items appear in the May 1, 2017 issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, April 21, and now at time.com/time100. 

RuPaul is the Emmy Award-winning host and executive producer of "RuPaul's Drag Race" now in its ninth season, airing Fridays on VH1. The iconic host, advocate, drag queen, singer, model, actor and author is a trailblazer who continues to break down barriers in a career that spans over 25 years. VH1 recently announced "RuPaul's Drag Race" will return for a milestone 10th season in 2018. 

The list, now in its fourteenth year, recognizes the world’s most influential individuals. As TIME Editor-in-Chief Nancy Gibbs has said of the list in the past: “Each year our TIME 100 list lets us step back and measure the forces that move us…. One way or another they each embody a breakthrough: they broke the rules, broke the record, broke the silence, broke the boundaries to reveal what we're capable of.”

VICTORY: Senate Bill 283 DEFEATED - thanks to you!

By Daniel Ramos, Executive Director, One Colorado 

Thanks to your calls, emails, and donations, the Colorado Senate JUST defeated Senate Bill 283 — a bill that would have allowed businesses to claim any belief, including religious beliefs, give them the right to refuse to follow non-discrimination laws they don’t like. Three Senate Republicans joined all the Senate Democrats in defeating this harmful and discriminatory bill.

Take a moment to thank the senators who voted NO on this harmful bill.
SB 283 would have had a devastating impact on Colorado's economy and would send a message that Colorado isn't open to business for everyone.

This defeat is not only a victory for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Coloradans and our families, but for all Coloradans who believe businesses should serve everyone on the same terms. CLICK HERE to tell the senators, "thank you!"

It’s shocking to realize that, in this day and age, we are still debating whether it should be legal to discriminate against someone or turn them away from a business simply because of who they are. Luckily, thanks to the many senators who stood in opposition, we were able to defeat this thinly veiled attempt to give businesses permission to ignore Colorado's non-discrimination laws.
