# Oddfellows Playhouse

Oddfellows Playhouse is a non-profit youth theater in Middletown, Connecticut. The playhouse provides programing to students of all ages, ranging from classic plays to circus skills. The organization serves over 1,200 young people annually and is Connecticut's largest and most active year-round youth theater.

## History

Oddfellows Playhouse was founded in 1975 by four Wesleyan University students with a commitment to serve students of all backgrounds. The name Oddfellows comes from the initial building the playhouse occupied, which was owned by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
In 1996, the playhouse bought and renovated a 10,000 square foot building on Washington Street in Middletown, with extensive help from the City of Middletown.
In 2017, ownership of the building the playhouse occupies was transferred to the City of Middletown, who granted Oddfellows Playhouse a 25-year lease at a rate of $1 per year. This was intended to stabilize the playhouse's financial problems as well as expand programing for city youth.

## Programing

Each year, the playhouse puts on two stage plays for each of their two age brackets: Junior Repertory Company (ages 12–14) and Teen Repertory Company (ages 14–20). Past shows have included classics such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, plays such as those by Washington Irving, and musicals such as Urinetown.
In addition to the stage shows, the playhouse also conducts a children's circus camp each summer. Skills taught include clowning, acrobatics, dance, stilt-walking, juggling, unicycling, art and puppetry. The camp lasts five weeks and culminates in a live show with over 120 performers and a live band.

## Awards

Over the course of its 47-year history, Oddfellows Playhouse has been given numerous accolades. They were named "Community Champion" for youth services by Citizens Bank in 2003. CPTV featured the playhouse on a special called "art.culture.life". They were given an "Award of Excellence" in 1998 from The New England Theatre Conference. The NAACP gave the playhouse a "Community Service Award" in 1999. And in 2012, the playhouse was given an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. Oddfellows has also been named as one of "Connecticut’s Best Children’s Theaters" by Connecticut Magazine from 2013 to 2019.
# National Imagery Transmission Format

The National Imagery Transmission Format Standard (NITFS) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Intelligence Community (IC) suite of standards for the exchange, storage, and transmission of digital-imagery products and image-related products.
DoD policy is that other image formats can be used internally within a single system; however, NITFS is the default format for interchange between systems. NITFS provides a package containing information about the image, the image itself, and optional overlay graphics. (i.e. a "package" containing an image(s), subimages, symbols, labels, and text as well as other information related to the image(s)) NITFS supports the dissemination of secondary digital imagery from overhead collection platforms.
Guidance on applying the suite of standards composing NITFS can be found in MIL-HDBK-1300A, National Imagery Transmission Format Standard (NITFS), 12 October 1994. The NITFS allows for Support Data Extensions (SDEs), which are a collection of data fields that provide space within the NITFS file structure for adding functionality. Documented and controlled separately from the NITFS suite of standards, SDEs extend NITF functionality with minimal impact on the underlying standard document. SDEs may be incorporated into an NITF file while maintaining backward compatibility because the identifier and byte count mechanisms allow applications developed prior to the addition of newly defined data to skip over extension fields they are not designed to interpret. These SDEs are described in the Compendium of Controlled Extensions (CE). This standard is mandated in the DoD for imagery product dissemination.
NITF has been implemented and fielded since the early 1990s. Its content evolved over the years to embrace new technology in support of emerging operational requirements. NITF has adopted the ISO/IEC 15444-1 standard for imagery compression, JPEG 2000. Commercial implementations of the standard are largely driven by marketability to the DoD and IC.
The current standard that defines NITF 2.1 is the Joint BIIF Profile (JBP), version 2024.1 (JBP-2024.1), dated 13 June 2023, which superseded MIL-STD-2500C CN2 in June 2024. The JBP is a profile of ISO/IEC 12087-5, Basic Image Interchange Format, in lieu of the previous military standards.
The following documents define the standard:
* JBP-2024.1 — ISO/IEC Joint BIIF Profile (JBP) 2024.1, 13 June 2023, Superseding MIL-STD-2500C/CN2
* STDI-0002 — STDI-0002 NITF Extensions 2.1 — The Compendium of Controlled Support Data Extensions (SDE) for the National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) Version 2024.1
* MIL-STD-188-199(1)— Vector Quantization Decompression for the National Imagery Transmission Format Standard, 27 June 1994 with Notice 1, 27 June 1996.
Do not confuse this with the British National Transfer Format.

# Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company

* Theatre portal
* Canada portal
The Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company ("The Playhouse") was a regional theatre company, producing plays since 1962. Its first production was The Hostage by Brendan Behan, which opened on October 2, 1963. The company performed out of the Vancouver Playhouse, a civic theatre in Vancouver’s downtown core (at Hamilton and Dunsmuir), which is also home to the Vancouver Recital Society and the Friends of Chamber Music. Citing financial difficulties, the company announced that it would cease operations on March 10, 2012

## Company activities

At the time of its closure, The Playhouse was presenting a five-play "Mainstage" season that ran October through May, smaller-scale productions and play readings at alternate venues, and special productions for young audiences. Productions generally ran for three to four weeks, with some matinees for students, seniors, and the disadvantaged. Some productions were preceded by guest speakers, known as "Salon Saturdays", with others followed by moderated "talkbacks" . The Playhouse also had an education and outreach program. The company often partnered with the Studio 58 theatre and production program to apprentice students and graduates.

## Funding

A major fundraiser for the company was the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival, which was first produced as a single-winery event in 1979.
In 2011, following in-camera deliberations by the Vancouver City Council, Vancouver provided the company with a complex bailout of approximately $1 million. The information regarding the bailout was the result of a leak from Vancouver city hall, following which the city posted the relevant documents on-line. In response to negative reaction, artistic director Max Reimer defended the city's action on the Playhouse's website.

## Artistic Directors

The company had many prominent Canadian directors serve as Artistic Directors over the years including Christopher Newton, Joy Coghill and Walter Learning. The Artistic Managing Director at the time of the company's closure was Max Reimer, who joined the Playhouse in July 2008. The following individuals served as Artistic Director:
