neg: Great Canadian Theatre Company The Great Canadian Theatre Company , known for short as GCTC , is a professional theatre company based in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada . It was established in 1975 by a group of professors and graduate students at Carleton University . Riding a wave of cultural nationalism , founders Robin Matthews , Larry McDonald , Bill Law , Greg Reid and Lois Shannon envisioned a theatre company that would produce only Canadian plays , especially those with social and political relevance . Driven by a dream to place Canadian stories and Canadian history front and centre in our country 's universities and theatres , the company launched its first production in August 1975 .   The group has its origins in a season of Canadian theatre produced by the Sock 'n' Buskin Theatre Company at Carleton University . From Carleton , the company moved to a converted firehall in Ottawa South ( presently the Ottawa South Community Centre ) and then , in 1982 , to the Gladstone Theatre on Gladstone Avenue . In September 2007 the company moved into a larger venue called the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre   The Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre , which includes a 262-seat mainstage theatre , a flexible black box studio theatre , and two spacious lobbies , has allowed GCTC to expand its community-based activities . More than 35,000 people visit the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre every year to see productions by GCTC and other live performing arts companies , for concerts such as the Acoustic Waves music series , to visit the Lorraine Fritzi Yale Art Gallery , rent the facility , or to enjoy local homemade fare at the Viva Loca Café .

neg: The Outpost (opera) The Outpost is an opera or operetta by the composer Hamilton Clarke with a libretto by A. O 'D . Bartholeyns . The story is an adaptation of the Singspiel Der vierjährige Posten by Theodor Körner with music by Franz Schubert .   The piece was one of Clarke 's last compositions following several operettas that he had composed for the German Reeds . It premiered at the Savoy Theatre from 2 July 1900 to 3 November 1900 as a companion piece to the Gilbert and Sullivan opera The Pirates of Penzance , for the second London revival of Pirates , and also played from 10 November 1900 to 7 December 1900 as a companion piece to Patience , a total of 131 performances . After this , the work was performed on tour from late 1901 through 1902 as a companion piece to Pirates , Patience and Iolanthe .   Both the score and the libretto appear to be lost , but there survives a copy of a fantasia for flute and piano , based on airs from the piece , and so the vocal score may have been published .   The fashion in the late Victorian era and Edwardian era was to present long evenings in the theatre , and so producer Richard D'Oyly Carte preceded his Savoy operas with curtain raisers , like The Outpost . W. J. MacQueen-Pope commented , concerning such curtain raisers :  This was a one-act play , seen only by the early comers . It would play to empty boxes , half-empty upper circle , to a gradually filling stalls and dress circle , but to an attentive , grateful and appreciative pit and gallery . Often these plays were little gems . They deserved much better treatment than they got , but those who saw them delighted in them . ... -LSB- They -RSB- served to give young actors and actresses a chance to win their spurs ... the stalls and the boxes lost much by missing the curtain-raiser , but to them dinner was more important .

neg: Glen Tilt Glen Tilt ( Scottish Gaelic : Gleann Teilt ) is a glen in the extreme north of Perthshire , Scotland . Beginning at the confines of Aberdeenshire , it follows a South-westerly direction excepting for the last 4 miles , when it runs due south to Blair Atholl . It is watered throughout by the Tilt , which enters the Garry after a course of 14 miles , and receives on its right the Tarf , which forms some beautiful falls just above the confluence , and on the left the Fender , which has some fine falls also . The attempt of George Murray , 6th Duke of Atholl to close the glen to the public was successfully contested by the Scottish Rights of Way Society . The massive mountain of Beinn a ' Ghlò and its three Munros Càrn nan Gabhar ( 1129 m ) , Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain ( 1070 m ) and Càrn Liath ( 975 ) dominate the glen 's eastern lower half .   Marble of good quality is occasionally quarried in the glen , and the rock formation has long attracted the attention of geologists . One of the earliest was James Hutton , who visited the glen in 1785 and found boulders with granite penetrating metamorphic schists in a way which indicated that the granite had been molten at the time . This showed to him that granite formed from cooling of molten rock , contradicting the ideas of Neptunism of that time that theorised that rocks were formed by precipitation out of water . Hutton concluded that the granite must be younger than the schists . This was one of the findings that led him to develop his theory of Plutonism and the concept of an immensely long geologic time scale with `` no vestige of a beginning , no prospect of an end . '' Sir John Clerk of Eldin visited the site and produced geological drawings of the area , immediately upstream of the old Dail-An-Eas Bridge which has since collapsed but the abutments remain as a listed building .

neg: Lakeboat Lakeboat is a semi-autobiographical play by David Mamet , written in 1970 and first produced in 1980 ( revised version ) .   As he would later do with Glengarry Glen Ross , Mamet drew upon experiences from a past vocation to create high drama . In this case , he turned to his days as a cook aboard a cargo ship to frame this tale of Dale Katzman , a college student from an Ivy League school `` near Boston '' who takes a summer job as a cook in the galley of the T. Harrison , a lake freighter for a Chicago-based steel concern . Dale 's predecessor , Guigliani , endured a particularly violent end while on terra firma , the cause and nature of which is speculated by the other crew members . Dale , and the audience , gets to know each of them , including : Fireman , who reads voraciously when not `` watching the gauges '' ; Fred , who imparts his unique , politically incorrect philosophy regarding women on the young man ; and , especially , Joe Litko , a 23-year veteran of the seas , who sees much of himself in Dale . The dialogue is Mametspeak at its most raw , as secrets are shared , picayune matters are debated , and fantasies are laid out , vividly .   The play 's world premiere was staged by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater on April 24 , 1980 ; subsequent major productions were mounted by the Long Wharf Theatre and the Goodman Theatre in 1982 . In 2000 , Mamet penned the screenplay for a film adaptation , which featured his half-brother Tony Mamet in the lead role of Dale . The ensemble cast also included Robert Forster as Joe Litko , Denis Leary as Fireman , and Jack Wallace , a veteran of Mamet productions , as Fred . Joe Mantegna , well-versed in the world of Mamet , made his directorial debut with the feature .

neg: Scottish National Players Scottish National Players , founded in Glasgow c. 1920 by figures such as playwright John Brandane , was a non-professional touring theatre company which had the aim to pioneer the establishment of a Scottish National Theatre along the lines of the Irish model established by Dublin 's Abbey Theatre around twenty years earlier . The company was founded using left-over funds from the short-lived Glasgow Repertory which had folded in 1914 .   The Scottish National Players performed early plays by James Bridie , such as The Sunlight Sonata and Brandane 's The Glen is Mine , as well as an ill-fated production of Neil Gunn 's drama The Ancient Fire . A number of its productions were directed by the young Tyrone Guthrie . Sometimes criticised for its conservatism , Scottish National Players notably turned down Joe Corrie 's early masterpiece In Time o ' Strife in 1927 . On the other hand it was instrumental in touring drama around local communities throughout Scotland .   In the early 1930s , James Bridie , as one of the board members , attempted to push Scottish National Players to professionalise . Although remaining supportive , he resigned after the board chose to retain its amateur status . Soon after this decision , he company began to lose direction and was effectively folded by the mid-1930s .   Category : Theatre companies in Scotland

Although developed independently over a long period , gross exchange of film performers and technicians as well as globalisation helped to shape this new identity .   The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through media such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible . These earnings , accounting for some 12 % of the revenue generated by a mainstream film , contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema , the net worth of which was found to be 1.3 billion in 2000 . Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator with the music rights alone accounting for 4 -- 5 % of the net revenues generated by a film in India .

neg: Grammy Award for Best New Artist The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1959 . Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out , for records released in the previous year . The award was not presented in 1967 . The official guidelines are as follows : `` For a new artist who releases , during the Eligibility Year , the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist . '' Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist .   It is sometimes asserted , with varying degrees of sincerity , that winning the award is a curse , as several award winners ( particularly from the late 1970s and early 1980s ) were never able to duplicate the success they experienced in their debut year . This viewpoint was expressed by former Starland Vocal Band member Taffy Danoff in a 2002 interview for VH1 's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders : `` We got two of the five Grammys -- one was Best New Artist . So that was basically the kiss of death and I feel sorry for everyone who 's gotten it since . ''   The category is also notable for being the only one of its kind in which a Grammy Award was vacated . This occurred in 1990 after it was revealed winners Milli Vanilli did not contribute their own vocals on their debut album . The award was revoked , but was not handed out to another artist .   Of the 54 awards presented in the category since its inception , the honor has been presented to 25 solo female artists , 18 duos or groups , and 11 solo male artists . Between 1997 and 2003 , all the winners were solo female artists . Also , from 1993 to 2005 , no winner was a solo male artist . In 2006 , John Legend broke this trend , which started with Marc Cohn in 1992 . Only four artists have won both Best New Artist and Album of the Year in the same year : Bob Newhart in 1961 , Christopher Cross in 1981 , Lauryn Hill in 1999 and Norah Jones in 2003 .   Of all the winners , only three have been country artists . In 1997 , LeAnn Rimes became the first country artist to win the award . She was followed by Carrie Underwood in 2007 and Zac Brown Band in 2010 . Additionally , 2017 marked the first time that two country artists were nominated in this category in the same year .   1984 marked the first time that all of the nominees were from outside of the United States ( Winner Culture Club , Eurythmics , and Musical Youth were from England , Big Country was from Scotland , and Men Without Hats were from Canada ) .

PublishAmerica had previously made some highly derogatory public remarks about science fiction and fantasy writers , because many of their critics came from those communities ; those derogatory remarks influenced the decision to make such a public test of PublishAmerica 's claims .

neg: Dancing Cigarettes The Cigarettes are a popular post-punk and art band based in Bloomington , Indiana and active from 1979 through 1983 . They were part of a cadre of Bloomington-based bands that made an impact on the underground music scene . Other bands included The Gizmos , Zero Boys , Dow Jones and the Industrials , and MX-80 Sound . These bands established Indiana as an innovative breeding ground for punk , post-punk and new wave music in the late 1970s and early 1980s .   The group changed line-ups frequently , but typically consisted of singer/guitarist Michael Gitlin , bassist Emily Bonus , keyboardists and multi-instrumentalists Tim Noe and Jaclyn Oddi , drummer John Terrill , and saxophonist Don Trubey . More avant-pop than post-punk , their music was as eclectic as their members ' musical talents would lead one to believe , ranging from squonky Beefheart rock to bouncy Devo-esque new wave , as evidenced by the brilliant `` Pop Doormat '' , which opens with a deceptively anthemic synth line , then uses an ebullient bass and keyboard melody to underscore a disconsolate lyrical theme that wraps with the repeated question `` What am I waiting for ? ''   The band performed regularly in numerous venues in Bloomington , including Second Story , Bullwinkle 's , the Bluebird , and The Gentry Remedy . The band also traveled extensively and performed a venues throughout the US , including CBGB in New York , the Music Box in Kansas City , Mister Goodbar in Buffalo , Tewligans in Louisville , Space Place in Chicago , and many others .   The Cigarettes ' musical style is most frequently characterized by the repeated use of hard dissonances ( minor 2nd 's , major 7th 's ) in combination with angular rhythmic patterns . At times , dissonances are densely packed , as in the thick web of atonal clusters supporting the lyrics of `` Broken Windows . '' A more spacious use of dissonance is found in `` Simple Machines , '' clarified by an intriguing orchestration of the band 's various instrumental sounds . `` Puppies in a Sack '' and `` Piano Lesson/Smith Street '' share a similar `` additive process '' technique in the gradual building of their dissonant and polytonal textures . Combined with this predominantly modular organization of material is a powerful sense of linear motion frequently provided by the band 's lyrics . Often the emotive verbal scenarios create tenuous implications of direction which counteract the clouds of tonal density . In `` Puppies in a Sack , '' the relentless repetition of `` It was fun for a while '' evokes a resignation to nostalgia , which is arrested by the plaintive admission , `` But that was a while ago ! ''   The group recorded frequently but released very little material ( one 7 '' EP and a few appearances on compilations ) while they were a performing organization . Two CDs of their material have been released in the years since the band broke up .
