Book Description
For years, Boyce and Kay Quinn dreamed of living abroad. They'd traveled extensively, but they wanted a deeper experience; one they felt could not be achieved by simply traveling through a country. They did not, however, want to renovate a villa or raise goats in the mountains. Their goal was to live comfortably in a historic city and to fill each day with pleasure and discovery. They chose Granada, Spain, to live out their dream. There were a few hurdles. First, they didn't speak Spanish. Second, they knew not one person living in Spain. Third, they arrived without a place to live. At Least One Balcony tells their story from beginning to end, from planning their adventure, obtaining visas, and renting an apartment, to surviving excessive togetherness, coping in a foreign language, improvising holidays abroad, and becoming members of the neighborhood. At Least One Balcony also contains a sprinkling of the history of Spain as well as information about the language, the royal family, and the Spanish lifestyle. Often humorous, filled with frustrations and triumphs, At Least One Balcony describes how Boyce and Kay met the challenge of learning to live in Granada, Spain.

It's Always Loud in the Balcony
Author: Richard Wesley
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493050729
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Richard Wesley was witness to a revolution. As both a celebrated participant and eager student of the Black Theater Movement in the late 1960s, he became part of a seismic force in American culture, breaking down barriers and helping to disrupt the cultural landscape. It’s Always Loud in the Balcony: A Life in Black Theater, from Harlem to Hollywood and Back is both history and memoir, tracing Wesley’s roots from riot-torn Newark, New Jersey, across the rocky terrain of Harlem, and finally to Hollywood, where he became partners with Sidney Poitier, writing several successful films before returning to New York and the theater world—a trip that Wesley has wryly characterized as "black power to black establishment." Wesley unfolds the history of black theater with love and precision, from the emergence of Amiri Baraka, and his own debut, the fiercely militant Black Terror—which landed him a deal with the legendary producer Joseph Papp—through his moviemaking experience in Los Angeles, working with Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor, among others. Wesley lands on solid ground in the twenty-first century as an elder statesman, a happy witness to the great success of a new breed of black theater that includes the widespread success of Tyler Perry and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, which brought hip-hop to Broadway. It’s Always Loud in the Balcony is the passionate, firsthand account of a crucial American art movement whose effects will be felt for generations to come.
