The Terry Knickerbocker Studio has awarded scholarships to four students from Brooklyn's Uncommon Charter High School to its Summer Acting Intensive for High School Students. The Studio's programs are typically focused on college-level or older students, including many professionals refining their craft throughout their careers. Yet, in order to engage the next generation of theatre artists, the Studio has added a two-week, intensive, conservatory-style program to enable high school students to hone their acting skills, cultivate their unique voices, and prepare for the future.

Property of the Week: This $28.5m mansion sits on a 70-acre estate in Upstate New York's Lake Placid. When the hustle and the bustle of the city gets too much, there’s only one place that New Yorkers turn to to get some much-needed fresh air: Upstate. We’re far from the first ones to think so. In the mid to late 1800s, families like the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts came to the areas like Lake Placid to build lavish retreats, said to have been nicknamed their own “great camps”.

A Columbia alumnus snubbed his alma mater and anonymously donated a staggering $260 million of his fortune to one of Israel’s largest universities.

Bar-Ilan, the public research university that is getting the gift, described the philanthropist as a “North American Jew and graduate of Columbia University who was active in World War II.”

“I feel a little better, but same thing, you’re not bringing . . . my son. It’s very hard.”

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great.
