    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 16, 2019 ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY OPENS 2019/2020 SEASON WITH MARCO RAMIREZ’ “ORIGINAL AND GRACEFUL” THE ROYALE Arizona Theatre Company (Sean Daniels, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) kicks off the 2019/2020 season, its 53rd, with Marco Ramirez’ power-packed boxing drama, The Royale, a deeply theatrical and emotionally moving story loosely based on the life of the world’s first African-American heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Johnson, Sept. 7-28 at the Temple of Music & Art in Tucson and Oct. 3-20 at the Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix. Described as “original and graceful” by The New York Times, The Royale explores one man’s struggle while reflecting on a bigger one in the midst of Jim Crow’s south in 1910. It’s also the story of a brother and his sister who remains his greatest adversary and strongest motivation as he struggles for glory and respect. And it’s a boxing story without a single fist-driven punch being thrown. Even so, “The Royale packs a punch!” The New York Times wrote. Playwright Marco Ramirez, whose plays have been produced at Lincoln Center Theater, The Kennedy Center, The Humana Festival, The Old Globe (San Diego), The Bush Theatre (London) and American Theater Company, among others, also has built both a reputation and a following as a TV writer for hits including Marvel’s Daredevil (Netflix) The Defenders (Netflix), Sons of Anarchy (FX) and Orange is the New Black (Netflix). "Marco Ramirez and Michael John Garcés are two of the most exciting artists working in our country today.

    Fantasia the Famous Soundtracks of Walt Disney's Masterpieces Program

    Fantasia The famous soundtracks of Walt Disney's masterpieces Sang Eun Kim soprano Luigi Giachino piano and transcriptions The Korean soprano Angela Kim with her wonderful voice and endearing presence on the stage meets the harmonies of the pianist Luigi Giachino, a great expert in film music, in a repertoire dedicated to the famous soundtracks of Walt Disney's masterpieces. The concert can be realized with the cinematographic projections made by Alba Film Festival. Since 1923 the Disney Studios have presented films that built the international history of cinema and animation, becoming immortal masterpieces as well, released from a mere function of entertainment and projected into a more “philosophical” dimension, to the point of rightfully becoming part of a worldwide popular culture. Despite the changes of time, aesthetics and lifestyles, Disney's lesson always remains current and reminds us that, despite the small and big difficulties of the life, we must continue to look forward, using the resources we have and finding solutions, never feeling lost and always listening to our emotions. The repertoire of this concert program embraces half a century of the Disney production and is a tribute to his unique style which also influenced the soundtracks. In the selected pieces, the atmospheres of poetry and dream are alternated with more playful and light-hearted moments, enhancing the versatility and great technical preparation of our artists. The concert can also be realized with the cinematic projections of the films, created by Alba Film

    Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis

    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

It is optioned for Broadway and ​ Mixed Blood is the only regional theatre in the country that has been given permission to produce it this season. ROE By Lisa Loomer, Directed by Mark Valdez March 15 – April 7, 2019 ROE, a theatrical survey of the complicated and fiery underpinnings of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. ​ ​ ​ Supreme Court ruling that established a woman’s right to an abortion. Roe precisely illustrates the ​ ​ ​ fractured and fracturing history of one of the most polarizing social issues of the modern era. Sarah Weddington was a 26-year-old lawyer when she argued Roe v. Wade and accidental heroine ​ ​ Norma McCorvey was a 22-year-old poor, hard-living lesbian bartender seeking to end her third ​ ​ ​ pregnancy when she first agreed to be the plaintiff under the pseudonym “Jane Roe,” decades ​ before she renounced her involvement in the case and became an anti-abortion advocate. ROE is an historically sweeping rare play that takes this inflammatory American issue head-on. Lawyer’s and plaintiff’s subsequent journeys mirrored the American divide.

    South Coast Repertory Is a Professional Resident Theatre Founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson

    IN BRIEF FOUNDING South Coast Repertory is a professional resident theatre founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson. VISION Creating the finest theatre in America. LEADERSHIP SCR is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Paula Tomei. Its 33-member Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders from business, civic and arts backgrounds. In addition, hundreds of volunteers assist the theatre in reaching its goals, and about 2,000 individuals and businesses contribute each year to SCR’s annual and endowment funds. MISSION South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief that theatre is an art form with a unique power to illuminate the human experience. We commit ourselves to exploring urgent human and social issues of our time, and to merging literature, design, and performance in ways that test the bounds of theatre’s artistic possibilities. We undertake to advance the art of theatre in the service of our community, and aim to extend that service through educational, intercultural, and community engagement programs that harmonize with our artistic mission. FACILITY/ The David Emmes/Martin Benson Theatre Center is a three-theatre complex. Prior to the pandemic, there were six SEASON annual productions on the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, four on the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage, with numerous workshops and theatre conservatory performances held in the 94-seat Nicholas Studio. In addition, the three-play family series, “Theatre for Young Audiences,” produced on the Julianne Argyros Stage. The 20-21 season includes two virtual offerings and a new outdoors initiative, OUTSIDE SCR, which will feature two productions in rotating rep at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in July 2021.

Extent: 66 cubic ft. (165 legal-size Hollinger boxes) Physical Description: Paper Location: MSA Stacks ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Alternative Formats: Microfilm (S95-S123) of the Pardon Papers, 1837-1909, was made before additions, interfiles, and merging of the series. Most of the unmicrofilmed material will be found from 1854-1876 (pardon certificates and presidential pardons from an unprocessed box) and 1892-1909 (formerly restorations of citizenship). Also, stray records found in the Senior Reference Archivist’s office from 1836-1920 in Box 164 and interfiles (bulk 1860) from 2 Hollinger boxes found in the stacks, a portion of which are in Box 164. Access Restrictions: Applications or petitions listing the social security numbers of living people are confidential and must be provided to patrons in an alternative format. At the discretion of the Senior Reference Archivist, some records from the Board of Probation and Parole may be restricted per RSMo 549.500.

PARDONS Processing Information: Processing done by various staff members and completed by Mary Kay Coker on October 30, 2007. Combined the series Pardon Papers and Restorations of Citizenship because the latter, especially in later years, contained a large proportion of pardons. The two series were split at 1910 but a later addition overlapped from 1892 to 1909 and these records were left in their respective boxes but listed chronologically in the finding aid.

    Working at Osf

    1 Welcome to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 2019 season! We hope you are as excited to join our OSF Company as we are to be a part of it ourselves. If you have not worked here before, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about the company before you begin by reading this welcome information. If you are returning to OSF, please take the time to review this information as the details can change from season to season. Please also visit our website, www.osfashland.org, which has a wealth of information about OSF and the work we do. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is truly a unique organization in American theatre. In 2019, we will produce over 780 performances of 11 plays in three theatres and one community tour over an eight-month performance season to an audience of close to 400,000. We have one of the most demanding and complex production schedules in the country; our system of rotating repertory is ambitious and impacts everything we do. Add in the unpredictable elements of rain, smoke, heat and cold in our outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre, and it can seem pretty hectic around here sometimes. And yet the rewards are astonishing. In 2019, more than 600 theatre professionals, including one of the largest acting companies anywhere in the world, will come together to create the season here in Ashland. OSF is a large organization, and new company members are frequently overwhelmed with questions about it. Please check the Important Contacts appendix in this Welcome Book for information on who to contact when you need something—there are many people here to lend a hand anytime.

    Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles

    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
  • Adaptation of Shakespeare's Plays Into Films: the Dark Side

    Adaptation of Shakespeare's Plays Into Films: the Dark Side

    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol. 4, Issue 7, pp. 35-39, November 201 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) ADAPTATION OF SHAKESPEARE'S PLAYS INTO FILMS: THE DARK SIDE Azeez Jasim Mohammed Assistant Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Jerash University, Jerash 26150, Jordan ABSTRACT: To what extent our innermost feelings can be revealed through our works? The unbearable face of human being cannot be hidden and what a director shot in a film may reveal the real sense of what is hidden from our eyes. Thus directors sometimes try to hide their dark side behind such interesting movies after having modified the events of the original text to achieve their end. This paper, however, is an overview about the technique of adaptation which varies from one adaptationist to another depending on the historical background of the screenplay writer. Although the director succeeds to project what is on one side of his curtain, he fails to hide what is on the other side that discloses his innermost feelings KEYWORDS: Dark side, Shakespeare, adaptation, Vishal Bhardwaj, Sadism, Masochism INTRODUCTION In this paper, I start from where I ended my last essay on media and literature which presented the relationship between the content of a literary work and its modified version after adaptation into films. The core of which was the role of the mass media which consisted of various layers of meaning superimposed on one another. I enhanced the study with two specific instances those served as illustrations; 'Best Defense', a Hollywood movie based on Robert Grossbach’s novel Easy and Hard Ways Out (1974) and 'World War Z'; another Hollywood movie based on the New York Times bestseller and an apocalyptic horror novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (2006) by Max Brooks.
