Art on the Rox - 1 -

t is our pleasure to welcome you to the second anniversary of the Father Ryan Arts Center with Art on the Rox. For 40 years, Focus On Renewal has been committed to providing com-prehensive services and life-changing programs to improve the quality of life for the people

it serves. That tradition continues tonight with the celebration of its latest journey of sharing the arts with friends and neighbors.

The Father Ryan Arts Center provides an important service by educating and introducing youth and adults to new ideas and different perspectives that have been absent for much too long in neigh-borhoods such as McKees Rocks. In the first two years, with the help of supporters and funders, the arts center has given many local artists the opportunity to show their work, use studio spaces, and exhibit in the gallery. The Father Ryan Arts Center has also given a voice to many emerging artists by providing them a forum to create and express themselves.

Tonight we are pleased to honor Richard E. Rauh with the very first Roxy Award, which is our way of celebrating a person of distinction, whose work to strengthen cultural and artistic principles has had a profound impact on the Pittsburgh region. The Roxy Award was crafted by master pot-ters Father Don Fisher and Norman Brown to symbolize the visionary spirit of the recipient and to embody his or her advocacy, support, leadership and/or creativity in influencing the arts among communities, families and individuals. Mr. Rauh was chosen this year for his arts philanthropy and leadership that has changed the cultural landscape of Pittsburgh and helped to define this region as a destination for arts and culture.

We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank all of our artists, supporters, donors and volunteers without whom this evening and this arts center would not be possible.

And finally, thank you to everyone in attendance tonight. We hope all you “dames and dappers”* enjoy your trip back in time with our “Swanky Speakeasy”* reception. Enjoy an array of “Nifty” hors d’oeuvres and then wash them down with some “Giggle Water.”* Remember to browse our fantastic collection of art (on display in the gallery, and in the live and silent auctions), and get your photo taken with the “Big Cheese”* himself - Father Ryan (photos available at Intermission). Join in with the music and “Hoofers” and then sit back and enjoy the show …it’s sure to be the “Bee’s Knees!”*

Mr. Rauh was born and raised in Squirrel Hill to Richard S. and Hel-en Wayne Rauh, who were the foremost driving forces in creating, developing and nurturing the Pittsburgh Playhouse as a hub for local theater in the 1930s, long before Point Park University, then College, bought the facility in 1968. Helen Wayne graduated from

Carnegie Tech (CMU) in 1933. A popular and talented actress in this region, she enjoyed a long and storied career spanning from the 1930s through the 1970s. Equally successful, Richard S. Rauh embodied the entrepreneurial spirit pioneering new industries and paving the way for artists and the arts in Pittsburgh.In his formative years, Mr. Rauh attended Shadyside Academy, and despite receiving accep-tance into many prestigious universities across the country upon graduating, he chose to stay in the city that fostered his love for and fascination with arts and culture. Mr. Rauh studied at the University of Pittsburgh where he received his Bachelor of Arts and would later earn his Master of Arts in English and American literature.One of Mr. Rauh’s most successful projects was the highly attended and beloved Playhouse Film Series, which he developed and managed for 14 years. Never far from his first love, he reviewed the theater for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for five years. Currently, Mr. Rauh teaches for Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama as well as Point Park University’s Conservatory of Theater.Like his mother before him, Mr. Rauh proved that he too was born for the stage. Those for-tunate enough to see his intricate and thorough artistry in Krapp’s Last Tape (Krapp), Last of the Red Hot Lovers (Barney Cashman), Proof (Robert), Driving Miss Daisy (Boolie), A Thousand Clowns (Leo Herman), or Last Night at Ballyhoo (Adolph Freitag) know his value as a gifted and conscious actor making every moment true and realistic.Mr. Rauh’s commitment and generosity often creates opportunities for artists to engage audi-ences with local productions and art forms, some of which may not have been produced if not for the Rauh family.Many theater companies and organizations have benefited from Mr. Rauh and his family’s phi-lanthropy including: The Rauh Theatre at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, the Helen Wayne Rauh Rehearsal Hall at the O’Reilly Theatre and the Helen Wayne Rauh Studio Theatre at CMU, the Richard S. Rauh Garden Room in Heinz Hall, the Richard E. Rauh Theater of Shadyside Academy and the Richard E. Rauh Conservatory Program of the Pittsburgh Musical Theater are among the more well-known examples.Tonight we honor Mr. Rauh for his belief and vision that a strong cultural and artistic presence is vital for a community to grow and flourish.

Etta Cox and Al Dowe have appeared individually and together in count-less concert venues and local jazz spots (including their own club, Dowe’s on Ninth) for nearly 25 years. Their collaborations include a performance in 1998 of the poetry of Langston Hughes with the music of Duke Elling-ton at New York University with actors Danny Glover and Ossie Davis. Their original dinner theater production of The Cotton Club Revisited has been produced in theaters along the East Coast. Ms. Cox has appeared in many local theater productions, on Broadway, on television and in films (Silent Witness, The Cemetery Club). She has been the opening act for such per-formers as Ray Charles, Doc Severinson, and Ahmad-Jammal. Her awards include “Best Jazz Vocalist” in Pittsburgh for the past eight years, one of the “Most Powerful Women in Pittsburgh, 1995,” “Woman of the Year in Arts and Music, 1995,” and the “Harry” Schwalb Award for Excellence in the Arts, 1998. She was also featured on the cover of Pittsburgh Magazine in September 1998, along with Al Dowe, for receiving the magazine’s annual Arts Award for Jazz. In January 2000, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette selected her as “1999 Performer of the Year.”

James Critchfield is thankful for his good friends Richard, Raymond, Lenora, Myrna, Etta, Tim and Ken and Colleen for their amazing generosity and shar-ing their remarkable talents with us. Jim grew up in the Pittsburgh area and credits Al Homburg, Don Jukes, Dr. Shirley Barasch, James Prescott, Dr. Ken Gargaro, Pat Moran, and his father Mr. James Critchfield, Sr. as influential mentors. Mr. Critchfield has lived, studied and worked as a professional actor, singer, director, producer, theater consultant, administrator, and performing arts educator in Western PA for most of his life.

This new group represents a radical departure from our previous “tradi-tional” approach to our youthful ambassadors. No more sequins and kick lines. Their repertoire will be drawn only from cutting edge musicals writ-ten in the last 15 years emphasizing content that resonates with their peers. We old-timers will have to wait patiently for the occasional Sound of Music, West Side Story, or Oklahoma while the kids prepare for the future by embracing the present. xtreme Teen Broadway is available for special events for information please call 412.539.0900 x232.
