For the record - June 22, 2011

“Twist”: An article in the June 19 Arts & Books section contained several errors about the Pasadena Playhouse’s new musical “Twist” and songwriter Tena Clark. The show is not a Depression-era musical; it is set during Prohibition in the late 1920s, before the Great Depression. “Twist” did not take 20 years to reach the stage, and last year’s production of the show at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre was not its first. Clark became involved with “Twist” in 1983, 10 years before it was first produced at Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Theatre in 1993.

Sudan agreement: An article in the June 21 Section A about a demilitarization pact between leaders of northern and southern Sudan misspelled the name of the president of Sudan as Omar Hussein Ahmed Bashir. His name is Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir. It also said southern Sudan had voted to secede in a March referendum. The vote was in January.

KCET: An article in the June 21 Business section about KCET-TV’s planned move to Burbank referred to KCET as a former public television station. The station remains a public TV outlet, although it left the PBS network as of Jan 1.

Galaxy soccer: An article in the June 19 Sports section about the Galaxy’s 3-1 victory Saturday over the Colorado Rapids misspelled the last name of a Galaxy player who scored a goal. The player is Chad Barrett, not Barnett.
