Anything Goes: ECS High School Drama Department Presents March/April 2017 ELLICOTTVILLE D I S T R I C T • N E W S L E T T E R Volume 47, Issue 5 Anything Goes: ECS High School Drama Department Presents... The Ellicottville High School Drama Club will be presenting the madcap musical ‘Anything Goes’ on March 30th, 31st & April 1st. With Music and Lyrics composed and written by Cole Porter and book by P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, ‘Anything Goes’ is an amusing story featuring one of Porter’s most magical scores. The Musical takes us back to the mid 1930’s aboard the SS American, an Ocean Greyhound, setting out on a trans-Atlantic voyage from New York City to England. As was the custom of the day, all types of passengers would be on board, but the attentions would be drawn to the rich & famous, as well as the occasional infamous characters aboard. As the musical begins, we are introduced to many of the cast members as they board the ship and have their photographs taken by members of the press. Of particular interest is Reno Sweeney (Andee Pierce), the famed Evangelist-turned-Nightclub singer with her beautiful band of Angels, her backup singers; Chastity (Elizabeth Jacobson- Coolidge), Purity (Lindsay Swalcy), Virtue (Callie Rounds), Charity (Hannah DeChane), Faith (Rylie Aldrich) and Grace (Allyson Fisher). Other passengers include: The wealthy Wall Street executive, Elisha J. Whitney (Harry Newark), Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Gabe Snyder), a wealthy English Gentleman, Miss Hope Harcourt (Heather Nicholson), an American Debutante who is Evelyn’s fiancée, Mrs. Wadsworth Harcourt (Lisa Krotz), Hope’s Mother, Bishop Henry T. Dobson (Brett Kryniski), a man of “the Moonface Martin (Evan Quinn) along cloth” with his two Chinese converts, with his ‘Mol and Flaky Chorine’ Bonnie beautiful girls, ship-shape sailors and an Ching (Hannah Chew) and Ling (Emma (Kayleigh Coolidge) and you have adorable couple that we hope will find Chew). Throw in a dashingly dapper young all the ingredients for a voyage filled their happiness in each other by the final man, Billy Crocker (Robert Castillow), a with mistaken identities, quick-change curtain.

The American 6 2008; Jan. Century 8-24, Theater2009 Compiled and Edited by Jack Marshall The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the Twentieth Century… what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These study guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. 2 Table of Contents The Playwrights 4 Life With Father on the Screen 7 Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. 13 The Gift of Song 14 By Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. TV Domestic Comedy 18 American Century Theater Season 22 3 The Playwrights: Howard Lindsay (1889-1968) and Russel Crouse (1893-1966) Lindsay and Crouse were one of the most dynamic, successful and long-lasting theatrical teams in American theater history, though they are almost forgotten today.

Perle Mesta was the first United States Ambassador to MADAM Luxembourg. The original “hostess with the mostest,” Mes- ta was known for hosting lavish parties in Washington D.C for almost 30 years. Born in Oklahoma, her family came into wealth when her father became involved in the oil and real-estate industries. In 1917 she married George Mesta, owner of Mesta Machinery. Mrs. Mesta became interested in politics when her husband introduced her to several high-ranking officials, including President Calvin Coolidge. Following her husband’s death, she became heavily involved in the quest for women’s rights and joined the National Women’s Party as its Congressional chairman and Public Relations specialist. While lobbying for the Equal Rights Amendment, she made a multitude of con- nections with politicians who would later attend her famous social gatherings.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
