LETTER FROM JEssica & ERic
F
orty-three years ago, Ron and Jan Kumin dreamed about a place where people
of all ages could gather, explore and celebrate art in many forms. Over the
years there have been ups and downs but never a lack of dreams. Everyone
who walks through Fairmount Center for the Arts is inspired to aspire – to tap, to
leap, to solo, to sculpt, and to keep on dreaming.
And 2014 has truly been a year of making dreams come true for Fairmount
Center both inside and out. Through the generous support and guidance of our
Board of Directors under the leadership of president Grant Cleveland, we have
renovated and upgraded our facility, we have added new and talented program
directors and faculty, and most recently we have added two new senior staff
members – us. As the new artistic and business directors we are excited and
honored to add our efforts to the rich tapestry of Fairmount Center as we seek to
maintain fiscal growth and artistic daring.
In our short time with Fairmount Center we have already met so many wonderful
people and learned so many remarkable Fairmount stories, and we wanted to
quickly share one of them with you. Early in the fall an angelic young voice started
filling the Fairmount halls on Thursday afternoons. This was nine year-old Michael
Temesi. His mother had noticed him singing around the house and thought he
might benefit from singing lessons. She saw that Fairmount Center offered vocal
instruction under the guidance of our Director of Music, David Fuller, and reached
out to David. He immediately recognized Michael’s talent and eagerness to learn,
accepted Michael as a student, and the rest is Fairmount history. What’s more,
Michael’s little brother, Myles, is now studying piano with Omar Roy. The whole
Temesi family has truly enriched Fairmount Center. You can learn more about both
Michael and Myles as featured students in the Music Section of this 2015 Winter
Catalog.
We are currently in the midst of our 2014 Annual Campaign, “It Starts With
a Dream” and sincerely encourage you to consider joining us with a donation.
The annual fund will support tuition (only 85% of the cost of classes comes from
our fees); a master artist workshop and performance series; and plans for the first
Fairmount outdoor performance space and series.
Whether through the annual fund or by taking a class your support is critical
in making our current and future dreams a reality. Together we learn. We create.
We let our spirits soar.
Sincerely,
Eric Schmiedl
artistic director
Jessica Manka
business director

Meet the Staff
THE NEW DIRECTORS: Jessica & Eric
Any good team has a diverse collection of players. A good offense compliments a good defense.
Bernie Kosar threw touchdowns while Hanford Dixon batted them away. Brad Daugherty guarded
the paint while Mark Price shot out the lights. This past fall the Board of Directors at Fairmount
Center for the Arts kept this lesson in mind when they put together a winning team to lead the
center forward into the future. Jessica Manka is the business director, guiding the financial and
marketing activities, and Eric Schmiedl is the artistic director responsible for the artistic growth
and development. Jessica has made her career working in the finance industry, and has plenty
of experience working with non-profit organizations, including Cleveland’s PlayhouseSquare, and
has an impressive background in finance, project management and grant work. She also studied
Art History and Fine Art at the University of Cincinnati’s college of Design, Art, Architecture, and
Planning. “I was so impressed by the caliber of talent here. Some of the best and brightest are
at Fairmount. I am honored to be able to be a part of it.” Eric comes to Fairmount Center with
over twenty-five years of experience in the professional theatre working as a playwright and
director with theatres including The Cleveland Play House and Cleveland Public Theatre in the
Cleveland area and the Honolulu Theatre for Youth and the Denver Center Theatre Company
across the country. A native Clevelander, he considers himself lucky to have grown up near a
vibrant community theatre in Aurora where he received his first experiences in theatre at a very
young age. “The first time I walked into the theatre I immediately knew this is it. This is home.”
He is very excited to provide the same experience and atmosphere at Fairmount Center.
Eric Schmiedl, Artistic Director
Eric Schmiedl is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and a graduate of Kent State
University and the University of Hawaii. His plays have been produced by
theatres including the Denver Center Theatre Company, the Cleveland Play
House, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Cleveland Public Theatre, the
Lantern Theatre, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, New Stages Theatre, the
Honolulu Theatre for Youth, the Oregon Children’s Theatre, Karamu House,
Adventure Stage Chicago, Signal Ensemble Theatre, Great Lakes Theater
Company, and BackStage Theatre in Chicago. His adaptation of Kent Haruf’s acclaimed novel
BENEDICTION is scheduled for production at the Denver Center Theatre Company in the
2014/2015 season, and his play HUCK FINN opened the 2014 Lantern Theatre season. He has
worked on the artistic staffs of The Cleveland Play House, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and
the Alabama Shakespeare festival. Eric has also worked as a theatrical director and performer
at various theatres around Cleveland and throughout the country. This Christmas season he will
appear in Cleveland Public Theatre’s production of SANTALAND DIARIES at Playhouse Square. He
is the recipient of a 2012 Creative Workforce Fellowship as well as an Aurand Harris Fellowship,
two Edgerton Awards, and a Sloan Foundation Commission. Eric is a member of The Cleveland
Play House’s Playwrights’ Unit and is on the faculty of the Low-residency Master of Fine Arts in
Writing program at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky.
Jessica Manka, Business Director
Jessica Manka has made her career working in the finance industry with
generous involvement working with not-for-profit organizations in project
management, programming, media and community relations, and outreach.
Jessica has worked for groups and organizations of various size and scope
as a project manager, finance coordinator, and fundraiser, including roles at
Playhouse Square and several independent non-profit organizations. Jessica,
having always been an enthusiast of the arts, attended the University of
Cincinnati majoring in Art History. She grew up on the west side of Cleveland, excelling in sports and
the arts, and has made the greater Cleveland area her home. In her downtime, she enjoys visiting
Cleveland’s historic icons and museums and spending time outside with her family and friends.
Catherine Fritz, Administrative Assistant
Cathy joined the Fairmount family amidst the hustle and bustle of our fall
2014 semester, and brought her dynamic personality and skills with her!
Cathy’s illustrious background includes working with Bellefaire JCB and the
Beaumont School, with many years of experience successfully and warmly
taking administrative charge. Cathy is an east side native and resides in Gates
Mills, where she enjoys partaking in many of the wonderful events and sites
Cleveland has to offer.

MARIA BEll
You cannot meet two-year-old
Maria Bell and not be charmed
by her bright smile. Whether
it is preparing to create a
paper maché pumpkin with
Miss Brigitte or performing
a plié with Mr. Moodie her
joyful enthusiasm is absolutely
infectious. And Maria is no
fly-by-night enthusiast. She’s
an old pro at Fairmount
Center having taken her first
art class way back when she
was 18 months old. What’s
even more impressive is that
she does not leave the art at
Fairmount Center. Maria’s
mom, Shannon, revealed that they’ve incorporated
lessons into their daily lives. “We’ll often chassé across
the room to get something when we’re at home.”
And we are so lucky that Shannon and Maria have
chasséd to Fairmount Center to brighten all of our lives
through movement, art, and an absolutely cheerful grin.

Fairmount Center for the Arts is a multi-disciplinary center
offering classes and performances in dance, theatre,
music, fitness, and art. And without a doubt the Hill family
is a multidisciplinary family. Sarah and her twin brothers
Nathan and Ryan are singers, dancers, and actors, and
they continually share their skills and talents in every
activity they undertake at Fairmount Center. Sarah is a
level 5 member of the Fairmount Dance Theatre program,
studies voice with David Fuller, and is the Evil Step Mother
in the fall Youth Theatre Lab production of Cinderella. On
top of that she is also a student at Laurel School. Nathan
and Ryan, who go to Chagrin Falls Intermediate School,
take Modern Dance, level 3, and have roles in Cinderella,
too. “Yeah, it’s lots of fun doing things together,” Sarah
recently mentioned after Cinderella rehearsal as she
prepared for dance rehearsal. The boys agreed. “I love
performing,” they said as they began reenacting their roles
with their sister and the other kids in the cast. Yes, it’s truly
a Fairmount family affair, and it is great!

Fairmount Dance Theater (FDT)

TOMSICH
“For me, it’s like riding
on the front of a boat.
It’s so exciting.” This
was Luke Tomsich’s
reflection about what
it’s like to be on stage in
front of an audience. And he should know. He’s a threeyear veteran of the Youth Theatre Lab, having appeared in
productions including Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz. His
older sister Kaylee is even more seasoned as she starts her
fifth year as an actress at Fairmount Center. This fall they
will both perform in the Youth Theatre Lab’s production of
Cinderella. Kaylee is taking on the role of Prudence, one of
the nasty step sisters. “I like constructing a character,” she
recently noted after rehearsal at Fairmount Center. “I like
becoming someone else.” Naturally fun-loving and friendly,
Kaylee will have to draw on these skills as she creates a
character so different from herself. Luke has a slightly easier
job. “I’m the Prince!” Outside of the theatre both Tomsich
children love books and when asked to name their favorite
author both chime in together. Rick Riordan. “Percy Jackson
is awesome!” So are Kaylee and Luke.

kAy SCHOTzINGER
“I
was
definitely
skeptical.”
This was
Kay
Schotz’s
first
reaction when a friend
told her about the
ceramics program at
Fairmount Center for
the Arts. “She knew
I was interested in
pottery. I’d ‘ooo and
aahh’ at pottery we’d
see together, but I didn’t
think it was anything I
could ever do myself.” However, Ms. Schotz finally did
accept the invitation to visit Fairmount Center and the
group of students and artists exploring ceramic work, and
that initial visit has now blossomed into a nearly twelve
year relationship with Fairmount Center. “I was hooked
right from the start.” And it was the community which
really made the difference. Under the thoughtful guidance
of Director of Art, Brigitte Fiorille, the Studio Ceramics
classes provide an opportunity for students of all levels to
explore and grow in a nurturing environment. “I’ve always
felt that ceramics is a grown person’s excuse for playing
in the mud. It’s given me a second childhood.” A retired
member of the Northeast Ohio Medical University staff
and faculty, Ms. Schotz is currently working on a unique
and very personal pottery series. She is taking the last
remaining piece of lace created by her mother-in-law and
is imprinting the lace into body of her own pottery. In this
way Ms. Schotz is able to create multiple ceramic replicas
of this single piece of lace. She then plans to give each of
her six grandchildren one of the ceramic replicas. “This
way each grandchild will have something to remember
their great-grandma by.” It is another wonderful example
of the way in which art can preserve, enrich, and inspire.

no problem with getting her hands messy with clay. Never
having worked in ceramics before, Makenzie saw the class
listed in the Fairmount Center’s Fall Catalog and thought
she’d give it a try, and she has been very happy with the

MICHAEl & MylES TEMESI
You could say it’s in their
blood. The Temesi boys
come from a musical family.
However, family history can
only take you so far. It takes
dedication,
commitment,
and hard work to grow and
succeed as an artist, and
both Michael and Myles
Temesi are well on their way
to success. Their mother,
Anahid, thought about Fairmount Center after she noticed
her eldest son singing around the house. “I thought, ‘He’s
singing. He’s really singing, and it sounds like he’s hitting
all the right notes.’” So, she approached the Fairmount
Director of Music, David Fuller, to inquire about private
vocal lessons. Mr. Fuller immediately recognized Michael’s
talent. What’s more, he was particularly impressed
with Michael’s determination to improve. “He does his
homework. He’s such a serious student. It’s inspirational.”
Myles, who is seven years-old, is equally focused on his
work studying piano with Omar Roy at Fairmount Center.
And the hard work is already paying off as Michael was just
cast as the lead in the upcoming Notre Dame Elementary
School (NDES) Saturday production of Aladdin. But, the
boys also have other outside interests including playing
laser tag with friends as well as Mario Super Smash Bros.
They are both fans of pizza, too. “Yeah, pizza’s good,”
Myles says with a sly smile. “Just not with mushrooms.”

DAVID FullER
Our private lessons are designed
for both beginners and experienced
music lovers. Discover how music can
become a unique and irreplaceable
part of your life – observe a lesson
with your child. Make music education
a priority for yourself, your child and
for humanity. According to a study by College Board in
2010, students who took music lessons for four years or
more scored an average of 100 points higher on the SATs
than students who did not play a musical instrument. In
addition, studying music improves recall and retention of
verbal information, advances math achievement and boosts
reading and language arts skills. According to research
by Mitchell Gaynor M.D. (Sounds of Healing), music also
has therapeutic physical effects, including reduced anxiety,
heart and respiratory rates, reduced cardiac complications,
lowered blood pressure and increased immune responses.
