THEATRE INSTITUTE FOUNDER GOES ON LEAVE
Patricia DiBenedetto Snyder, founder and producing director of the New York State
Theatre Institute (part of Empire State Youth Theatre Institute), will begin a one-year
leave of absence effective August 1, it was announced today by University at Albany
Executive Vice President Warren F. Ilchman.
Mrs. Snyder was granted her request for a study leave by University President
Vincent O’Leary in order for her to complete her Doctorate of Arts degree at New York
University, located in New York City. The leave is uncompensated.
"I began work on the doctorate at NYU in 1978," Mrs. Snyder said, "but the growth
and development of the Institute curtailed my academic pursuits. Now I have an
opportunity to complete my dissertation, which will embody a major study of the Empire
State Youth Theatre Institute."
"It is with great reluctance, but with deep respect for her accomplishments, that I
accede to Patricia Snyder’s request for a year’s leave," said Dr. IIichman. "On behalf of the
campus, I wish you well and look forward to your return." Dr. Ilchman added that the
University has asked Mrs. Snyder to be available for a maximum of 20 days during the
next 12 months as a consultant regarding the Theatre Institute, which became part of the
University at Albany by act of the State Legislature in Spring, 1989.
In Mrs. Snyder’s absence, her duties will be divided between two current staff
members. Renee Hariton, assistant to the producing director, will assume principal
administrative responsibilities as Acting Managing Director. Ed Lange, associate artistic
director, will become Acting Artistic Director. William Frankonis will remain as Deputy
Producing Director.
"I am confident that the Institute and its program will thrive under Renee, Ed and
Bill," said Mrs. Snyder. "They are solid professionals whose excellence and dedication will
assure the Institute’s future well-being."
Mrs. Snyder is a national innovator in using live theatre as a catalyst for learning,
integrating the substance of plays in the curriculum of elementary and secondary schools.
The concept became a reality with the establishment in 1974 by the New York State
Legislature of the Empire State Youth Theatre Institute.
Working with the Office of General Service’s theater consultants and architects
from 1974 until the opening of the Empire State Performing Arts Center (also known as
The Egg) in 1978, Mrs. Snyder helped ready that facility as a workable theater. It opened
in May of 1978 with a Youth Theatre production of Peter Pan, directed by Mrs. Snyder.
In addition to heading a program that has offered 15 consecutive seasons of
performances and arts and education programs aimed at statewide young people and
families, Mrs. Snyder also brought the Institute to international prominence with several
global tours. The troupe realized the first exchange of Soviet and American theatrical
companies under the 1985 cultural accords signed by President Reagan and Soviet
Chairman Gorbachev, Mrs. Snyder taking the Institute’s musical Rag Dolly to Moscow in
January 1986, and hosting the Moscow Musical Theatre for Children in its Albany
appearance that June.
From its first’ season to the present, the Institute has served more than 5.25 million
young people and their families through performances and educational services, both in
Albany and through tours to 56 New York State counties.

DISSOLUTION OF ESIPA FINALIZED
An agreement dissolving the Empire State Institute for the Performing Arts has
been made by the boards of the State University of New York Trustees and the Empire
Center, it was announced today by University at Albany Executive Vice President Warren
Ilchman and Empire Center President Barnabas McHenry.
The agreement terminates the joint venture between the SUNY system and the
Empire Center which had existed since 1982, and directs the distribution of assets to the
center and the University at Albany’s New York State Theatre Institute in accordance with
the 1989 State Legislature’s plan to redirect the workings of the Nelson A. Rockefeller
Performing Arts Center.
Negotiated over a seven month period, the agreement directs the even distribution
of inventory and.cash, with adjustments for expenditures made before the official parting
of the organization; directs that the name "ESIPA" not be used; and calls for a management
agreement concerning future performances in the EGG.
McHenry expressed his appreciation for the spirit of cooperation that characterized
the negotiations, and, pleasure at achieving an agreement that best meets the needs of both
organizations. "The Empire Center will now proceed on course in its plan to bring a wide
variety of programming to the Capital," said McHenry, "and the Theater Institute will
continue in the coming year to present its primary performances in the EGG. We are happy
to have the University continue its affiliation with us, and we hope that the arrangement
is long-lasting."
Dr. Ilchman also expressed pleasure with the spirit of cooperation that surrounded
the negotiations. "This final agreement will allow the Theatre Institute to move forward
with its programing in conjunction with broader University programs in the dramatic and
performing arts," he said.
Many of the Theatre Institute’s administrators, teachers and other staff have
already transferred to University offices in the past year, but 17 employees will continue
to be based at the EGG during the 1990-91 season, said Ilchman. He added that several
options involving the Theatre Institute are now open for discussion, including the potential
for a Masters in Fine Arts program and the integration of the Theatre Institute with
elementary and secondary education programs now at the University.

On July 4, while most people will be celebrating the nation’s birthday, Ruth Baines,
assistant provost of the State University of New York, will be celebrating her recent
earning of a doctoral degree from the University at Albany, State University of New York.
A private academic hooding is an unusual event. Few individuals choose to reenact the

Dr. Baines’s reason for undertaking the exercise is that her family, particularly the
younger members, was unable to see her graduate at Albany’s May 20 commencement.
Baines, who is a Black American, is the first in her family to receive a doctorate. "The
occasion was too important and too historic for them to miss," Baines said, "The entire

THEATRE INSTITUTE FOUNDER GOES ON LEAVE
Patricia DiBenedetto Snyder, founder and producing director of the New York State
Theatre Institute (part of Empire State Youth Theatre Institute), will begin a one-year
leave of absence effective August 1, it was announced today by University at Albany
Executive Vice President Warren F. Tichman,
Mrs. Snyder was granted her request for a study leave by University President
Vincent O’Leary in order for her to complete her Doctorate of Arts degree at New York
University, located in New York City. The leave is uncompensated.
"I began work on the doctorate at NYU in 1978," Mrs. Snyder said, "but the growth
and development of the Institute curtailed my academic pursuits, Now I have an
opportunity to complete my dissertation, which will embody a major study of the Empire
State Youth Theatre Institute."
"It is with great reluctance, but with deep respect for her accomplishments, that I
accede to Patricia Snyder’s request for a year’s leave," said Dr. Ilchman. "On behalf of the
campus, I wish you well and look forward to your return." Dr. Ilchman added that the
University has asked Mrs. Snyder to be available for a maximum of 20 days during the
next 12 months as a consultant regarding the Theatre Institute, which became part of the
University at Albany by act of the State Legislature in Spring, 1989.
In Mrs. Snyder’s absence, her duties will be divided between two current staff
members, Renee Hariton, assistant to the producing director, will assume principal
administrative responsibilities as Acting Managing Director. Ed Lange, associate artistic
director, will become Acting Artistic Director. William Frankonis will remain as Deputy
Producing Director.
"Tam confident that the Institute and its program will thrive under Renee, Ed and
Bill," said Mrs. Snyder. "They are solid professionals whose excellence and dedication will
assure the Institute’s future well-being."
Mrs. Snyder is a national innovator in using live theatre as a catalyst for learning,
integrating the substance of plays in the curriculum of elementary and secondary schools.
The concept became a reality with the establishment in 1974 by the New York State
Legislature of the Empire State Youth Theatre Institute.
Working with the Office of General Service’s theater consultants and architects
from 1974 until the opening of the Empire State Performing Arts Center (also known as
The Egg) in 1978, Mrs. Snyder helped ready that facility as a workable theater. It opened
in May of 1978 with a Youth Theatre production of Peter Pan, directed by Mrs. Snyder,
In addition to heading a program that has offered 15 consecutive seasons of
performances and arts and education programs aimed at statewide young people and
families, Mrs. Snyder also brought the Institute to international prominence with several
global tours. The troupe realized the first exchange of Soviet and American theatrical
companies under the 1985 cultural accords signed by President Reagan and Soviet
Chairman Gorbachev, Mrs. Snyder taking the Institute’s musical Rag Dolly to Moscow in
January 1986, and hosting the Moscow Musical Theatre for Children in its Albany
appearance that June.
From its first season to the present, the Institute has served more than 5.25 million
young people and their families through performances and educational services, both in
Albany and through tours to 56 New York State counties.

DISSOLUTION OF ESIPA FINALIZED
An agreement dissolving the Empire State Institute for the Performing Arts has
been made by the boards of the State University of New York Trustees and the Empire
Center, it was announced today by University at Albany Executive Vice President Warren
Ilchman and Empire Center President Barnabas McHenry.
The agreement terminates the joint venture between the SUNY system and the
Empire Center which had existe since 1982, and directs the distribution of assets to the
center and the University at Albany’s New York State Theatre Institute in accordance with
the 1989 State Legislature’s plan to redirect the workings of the Nelson A. Rockefeller
Performing Arts Center.
Negotiated over a seven month period, the agreement directs the even distribution
of inventory and cash, with adjustments for expenditures made before the official parting
of the organization; directs that the name "ESIPA" not be used; and calls for a management
agreement concerning future performances in the EGG.
McHenry expressed his appreciation for the spirit of cooperation that characterized
the negotiations, and pleasure at achieving an agreement that best meets the needs of both
organizations. "The Empire Center will now proceed on course in its plan to bring a wide
variety of programming to the Capital," said McHenry, "and the Theater Institute will
continue in the coming year to present its primary performances in the EGG. We are happy
to have the University continue its affiliation with us, and we hope that the arrangement
is long-lasting."
Dr. Ilchman also expressed pleasure with the spirit of cooperation that surrounded
the negotiations. "This final agreement will allow the Theatre Institute to move forward
with its programing in conjunction with broader University programs in the dramatic and
performing arts," he said.
Many of the Theatre Institute’s administrators, teachers and other staff have
already transferred to University offices in the past year, but 17 employees will continue
to be based at the EGG during the 1990-91 season, said Ilchman. He added that several
options involving the Theatre Institute are now open for discussion, including the potential
for a Masters in Fine Arts pidarad and the integration of the Theatre Institute with
elementary and secondary education programs now at the University.

JULY 4th COMMENCEMENT A FAMILY AFFAIR
On July 4, while most people will be celebrating the nation’s birthday, Ruth Baines,
assistant provost of the State University of New York, will be celebrating her recent
earning of a doctoral degree from the University at Albany, State University of New York.
A private academic hooding is an unusual event. Few individuals choose to reenact the
public commencement in private.
Dr. Baines’s reason for undertaking the exercise is that her family, particularly the
younger members, was unable to see her graduate at Albany’s May 20 commencement.
Baines, who is a Black American, is the first in her family to receive a doctorate. "The
occasion was too important and too historic for them to miss," Baines said. "The entire
family places very high emphasis on education as the key to advancement, and a heavy
responsibility on those who do succeed to serve as role models for younger family members
and for Black people everywhere. They believe that with so many negative influences on
young people these days, individual acts of celebration are a refreshing change and
something the community-at-large might well want to note."
The ceremony will be a symbolic, yet authentic, representation of a standard
commencement with full regalia. David Chapman, chairman of Baines’s dissertation
committee, will officiate. Others among the 40 invited guests include New York State
Regent Shirley Brown, SUNY Executive Vice Chancellor Jerome Komisar, and Lorna
McBarnette, State Executive Deputy Commissioner of Health. Well-known pianist Findlay
Cockrell will perform and Juanita Wallace Jackson will sing.
The ceremony will take place at 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 4, at the Steuben Athletic
Club, One Steuben Place, Albany.
