Artist Spotlight
Take 6
"The baddest vocal cats on the planet!" - Quincy Jones
TAKE 6 has come a long way from when a men's sextet from Huntsville, Alabama's Oakwood College signed to a record deal in 1987. Fast forward almost 40 years and TAKE 6 is the most awarded a cappella group in history, with ten GRAMMY Awards, ten Dove Awards (Gospel Music Awards), Best Jazz Vocal Group honors for seven consecutive years in Downbeat's prestigious Reader's and Critic's Poll, a Soul Train Music Award, BRE (Black Radio Exclusive) Vocal Group of the Year, two NAACP Image Award nominations, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and countless other musical and humanitarian citations.
Staff Spotlight
Jon Carlson, Production Manager
As Production Manager for the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center, Jon is typically backstage in one of the two performance venues overseeing an impressive inventory of equipment and instrumentation. He works with faculty, students, and guest artists to schedule and prepare for a wide variety of performance events. His professional training is from the Yale School of Drama where he earned his MFA. He has worked in technical theatre for 25 plus years with stops at CUNY-Queens College, Washington State University, and the University of Idaho along the way. Many of his former students are now working as stage managers, set, lighting, and sound designers, high school drama teachers, and one or two “stand-up” comedians (he takes no credit for the latter) all around the country. Jon is enamored of the many creative lighting designers he’s studied with and worked for, impressed by the technical knowledge retained by audio engineers in the Biz, and is always eager to assist performing artists get their creative work to the stage. He feels incredibly fortunate to work for GU’s MWPAC with its amazing venues and state-of-the-art technology. He commends the administration, the faculty and staff, and Miss Woldson on their unwavering support of the Arts for the university and the greater Spokane community. Jon has two college-aged sons, Chris and Scott, whom he watches with anticipation as they “flap their wings” and show their creative selves to the world.
