Valentine's Day 2010 ORPHEUS MUSICAL THEATRE SOCIETY THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN LIVE MUSICAL THEATRE WHEN IT’S DONE WELL.  “MATILDA”, BY ROALD DAHL, IS NOW PLAYING AT MERIDIAN THEATRES @ CENTREPOINTE BEN FRANKLIN PLACE - 101 CENTREPOINTE DRIVE, NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 1,  2019 HTTPS://WWW.SECUREBOXOFFICE.COM/VP/V-5589/P-30011?GCLID=EAIAIQOBCHMI1ZU1Z5IE5GIVLONKCH1VZW-KEAAYASAAEGIAR_D_BWE THE PERFORMANCE IS FILLED WITH CHARMING KIDS AND TALENTED ADULTS. THERE ARE TWO MATILDAS PERFORMING:  SOPHIA PIERCE AND SHELBY SHANNON-CAINES.  I SAW SOPHIA PIERCE ON NOVEMBER 23. SHE WAS

OUTSTANDING.

SHELBY SHANNON & SOPHIA PIERCE THE CAST IS TERRIFIC.  SOPHIA PIERCE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE. YOU CAN HEAR HER SINGING HERE… NOT IN THE SHOW BUT FOR THE OTTAWA SENATORS

KIDS OPENING NIGHT.

HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/WATCH/?V=501620527060339 SHE’S VERY YOUNG AND VERY TALENTED. The production is fun because there are groups of performers who are dancers and singers, and the choreography is excellent and well-coordinated with the music.  The pit orchestra hits every cue and really adds to the performance. There are bongos and horns and even a drum roll. “Imagine a world with no children” - Trumpets …. THERE’S A LARGE MRS. WORMWOOD (HILARY PECK), AND A DOCTOR ESCAPOLOGIST (PAUL MELSNESS) WHO HAS COOL SUNGLASSES.  MR. WORMWOOD (GRAEME PARK), A CAR SALESMAN, WEARS A MULTI-COLORED SUIT AND GREEN

HAIR.

HE ALWAYS CALLS HIS DAUGHTER ‘BOY.’  SHE SAYS, “BUT I’M A GIRL.”  HE SAYS, “I DON’T SUPPOSE WE CAN CHANGE IT FOR A BOY,” MATILDA LOVES TO READ. HER FATHER HATES THIS. HE PREFERS HIS SON MICHAEL (EMMET LOGUE) WHO ONLY WATCHES TV.  IT'S INTERESTING TO WATCH THE SMOOTH SET CHANGES.  AND THERE’S AN INVENTIVE, TOILET

PAPER SCENE.

OUTSTANDING IN THE CAST IS MISS AGATHA TRUNCHBULL (JASON SWAN) – YES – HE’S A GUY. Trunchbull is the Head Mistress of the school.  She’s an over the top wonderful character.  “Children are Maggots,” she professes. “If you want to succeed, stay inside the circle

- Toe the line.”

Miss Jenny Honey (Melinda Hudson) is the schoolteacher who has to deal

with

Trunchbull.  Rudolpho/Party Entertainer (Jesse Gervais-Weedmark, has some great moves. And there’s a very good solo by a young boy at the end of a classroom scene. Act 2 - opening scene - “All I learned, I learned from Tele,” is well done as well as “When I Grow Up” – a company dance scene with one kid even doing a split. THE DIRECTOR OF “MATILDA” IS JENN DONNELLY, MUSIC DIRECTOR SOPHIE ROCHAT, CHOREOGRAPHER ALEX SINHA. “IN HIS LIFETIME, ROALD DAHL, BRITISH STORYTELLER, PUSHED CHILDREN’S LITERATURE INTO UNCHARTED TERRITORY.”  HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS DARK HUMOR AND FOR EVIL ADULT ENEMIES OF CHILDREN. ALFRED HITCHCOCK FEATURED SOME OF HIS STORIES. Review by Lois Siegel Photos by Alan Dean Photography

February 2014

This was part of the Grasp program. Four schools participated –

four classes

of kids who are dyslexic.  They created Public Service Announcements and from their ideas, Lois created scripts for them. All the students were the actors. The cameraman was from Baltimore, Maryland and the acting coaches were from St. Augustine,

Florida.

There was also a production assistant from Jacksonville. This project was in conjunction with the World Arts Film Festival. The Grasp project culminated at the World Arts Film Festival May

15-17,2014

when all four schools (110 students) met each other for the first time, showed their films, and shared their experiences. www.worldartsfilmfestival.org FILMMAKER LOIS SIEGEL with a student at the World Arts Education Student Film Workshop in Jacksonville, Florida.

_______________________________________________________ Award-Winning Children’s Television Lois Siegel acted in an episode  of "The Prime Radicals," a children’s educational television series on TVOntario. Lois played a movie director opposite 19-year-old Alanna Bale who plays Alanna in the production. The Prime Radicals demonstrates how math can be applied in everyday contexts. It features two cousins, Alanna and Kevin, who help their Uncle Norm solve his weekly workshop problems with the help of an expert and a mathematical solution. This new live-action series for kids aged 6-8 is compelling and entertaining – never didactic – and uses humorous, hands-on, real-world scenarios to make numbers cool for kids, based on the math curriculum for young

learners.

Filming took place at GAPC Entertainment in Ottawa. HTTP://WWW.GAPCENTERTAINMENT.COM/ LOIS APPEARS IN EPISODE #13, 2013 _______________________________________________________

Lois returned to Jacksonville, February 2014 to work with the Grasp

program.

Four schools participated - four classes of kids who are dyslexic. They created Public Service Announcements and from their ideas, Lois created film scripts. All the students were the actors. The cameraman was from Baltimore, Maryland and the acting coaches were from St. Augustine, Florida. There was also a production

assistant

from Jacksonville. This project was in conjunction with the World Arts Film Festival.  The Grasp project culminates at the World Arts Film Festival 2014 when all four schools (110 students) meet each other for the first time, show their films and share their experiences. ________________________________________________ �PHOTO BY LOIS SIEGEL CANADIAN COMPANIES REPRESENTATIVES RECOGNIZED BY LOCKHEED MARTIN FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE F-35 PROGRAM.

First CD Release

The members of Celtic North are fortunate to live in the Ottawa/Gatineau area where “traditional” music is a wonderful mix of Irish, Scottish, and French tunes. In this, our first recording, we have collected some of our favourite melodies, with a couple of well-known songs thrown in for good measure.

Tunes include

Irish Washerwoman, Auprès de ma blonde, Scotland the Brave, Loch Lomond, Morrison's, The Girl I Left Behind Me

Hangman's Reel

Celtic North isn't their day job, but as their new CD shows, they certainly have flair.... "Celtic North" is a very good first CD.  It contains a variety of

tunes,

mainly Irish and Scottish, with a few French pieces.... The playing is lively and catchy; the instrumentation creative.

Reuel S. Amdur

"Celtic Life" Magazine Your CD is great--such lively "fun time" music. Good recording, and you all sound fantastic.

Dayle Reynolds

Ottawa, Canada

Really like the CD... the arrangements are wonderful, the blend of instruments is SO smooth, and the interwoven melodies are beautiful.

"GAMBLING BOYS"

Documentary aired on The Passionate Eye

CBC News Network

March 7, 2010

>  GAMBLING BOYS

Gambling Boys, a documentary produced by EyeSteelFilm, delves in to the world of teen gambling, a world that offers

excitement,

the potent allure of making big money, and as many are discovering, the potential for serious addiction problems. With the barrage of marketing campaigns, television coverage of poker tournaments, and easy access to online gaming, it is no surprise that teens are increasingly affected. Experts are finding that the rate of problem gamblers among young

people

is two to four times higher than for adults. Gambling Boys features three youths ranging in age from 14 to 20 years

old.

These teens share their experiences with the thrill of gambling and the tragic consequences when the betting gets out of control. Gambling Boys, directed and written by Laura Turek, offers a poignant and lively picture of teens’ fascination with

gambling

and the harsh consequences of getting hooked. The film was produced by Sally Bochner and Tamara Lynch, and executive producers Mila Aung Thwin and Daniel Cross. LOIS SIEGEL: STILL PHOTOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH PRODUCED BY EYESTEELFILM IN ASSOCIATION WITH CBC Selected to Premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival 2007

Family Motel

Siegel recently worked as Casting Director for the alternative-drama “Family Motel,” a co-production between Instinct Films, Montreal, and The National Film Board of Canada . The film is a sympathetic look at what happens to families when, in spite of all their efforts, the rent is too high, and their salaries are too low.

Award

Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois: Alex and Ruth Dworkin Prize for a Film that Promotes Tolerance Screening Museum of Modern Art, NYC, March 2008 Family Motel is one of the most important and affecting movies I've ever taken in. It speaks for the millions of marginalized refugees in the West with a degree of realism and authenticity I don't think I've ever seen on film before. Five stars for both content and cinematic art."
