Please, let me also extend a warm welcome from Centenary College President, Dr. David Rowe, and Centenary Provost, Dr. Mike Hemphill. On behalf of the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourism Bureau I’d like to welcome you to our fair cities and encourage you to enjoy all they have to offer. A great deal of effort has gone into bringing the regional festival to the beautifully opulent Strand Theatre and there are many to thank. Where to begin? Luke Eddy! As the Festival Coordinator he has logged countless hours putting this event together with lots of folks around the college and the community. He has my deepest gratitude. We must also thank the tireless assistance from Shreveport Bossier Convention and Tourism Bureau and Kim Brice, Suzanne Manfredi, and Chris Jay. I express many thanks to our small but feisty theatre department, faculty, Emily Heugatter and Jodie Glorioso, staff, Alan Berry (TD), and students, who have that wonderful “can do” attitude! I must also include the excellent and dedicated staff at the Strand Theatre headed up by Executive Director, Danny Fogger, General Manager, Jennifer Akers, and Production Coordinator, Brandy Bell. Please know, none of this would have been possible without the understanding and assistance of IATSE local 298 and its President/Business Agent, Russell Wingfield. A special thanks to the faculty and staff of Centenary College for their understanding and assistance as our small college doubles in size for the week. Warm thank you to the Friends of the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse and its President, Steve “Red” Vanderkuy.

  • The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance
    Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

  • Program Notes
    “Come on along, you can’t go wrong Kicking the clouds away!” Broadway was booming in the 1920s with the energy of youth and new ideas roaring across the nation. In New York City, immigrants such as George Gershwin were infusing American music with their own indigenous traditions. The melting pot was cooking up a completely new sound and jazz was a key ingredient. At the time, radio and the phonograph weren’t widely available; sheet music and live performances remained the popular ways to enjoy the latest hits. In fact, New York City’s Tin Pan Alley was overflowing with "song pluggers" like George Gershwin who demonstrated new tunes to promote the sale of sheet music. George and his brother Ira Gershwin composed music and lyrics for the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face. It was the second musical they had written as a vehicle for Fred and Adele Astaire. As such, Funny Face enabled the tap-dancing duo to feature new and well-loved routines. During a number entitled “High Hat,” Fred sported evening clothes and a top hat while tapping in front of an enormous male chorus. The image of Fred during that song became iconic and versions of the routine appeared in later years. The unforgettable score featured such gems as “’S Wonderful,” “My One And Only,” “He Loves and She Loves,” and “The Babbitt and the Bromide.” The plot concerned a girl named Frankie (Adele Astaire), who persuaded her boyfriend Peter (Allen Kearns) to help retrieve her stolen diary from Jimmie Reeve (Fred Astaire). However, Peter pilfered a piece of jewelry and a wild chase ensued.

It seems to come round quicker each year or is that I am getting older! A big thanks goes to the Exhibition Committee, and Jean in particular, for organising this event which involves a lot of work. Thanks also to the members who have helped in various ways, in- cluding putting the displays up, and who will be helping with teas and other duties over the dura- tion of the exhibition. Thank you also to the Judge Nat Coalson ARPS for giving his time to judge an increased number of both print and PDI entries, the whole process taking the best part of a day. We are back at Christchurch again this year because it is an excellent venue for our exhibition with plenty of space and lots of light.

Our friendly volunteers will be waiting to serve you. We are displaying images from other clubs as well as our own. As well as the print display there are also projected digital images (PDI) to be enjoyed while you have a drink.
