Tarzan The Musical Swings into the Stadium The legendary Tarzan swings into the Stadium Theatre August 10 through 12 in Tarzan: The Musical, based on Disney’s epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan features music by Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang. Rebecca Donald is directing. Jack Cappadona stars as Tarzan, who undergoes a huge transformation from his experiences in the jungle. “Even though Tarzan knows he’s different from everybody else, he’s different from the people who raised him,” Capadonna said. “In the end, he realizes they’re not that different at all. He grows throughout the story.” Capadonna lives in North Attleboro. He has played complex characters before, including Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast at the Stadium. Katherine Davis plays Tarzan’s love interest Jane, a botanist. Davis has a lot of admiration for her character, who is a strong-willed and confident woman. “She’s really quite an independent woman defying the times,” Davis said of Jane. “She’s very sure of herself and strong in knowing what she wants.” Davis lives in North Providence and has appeared in Peter Pan, Cabaret and American Idiot. She has also performed with the Moonstruck Theater Company, the Lasell College Drama Club and Rhode Island Stage Ensemble. “I really enjoy roles that take me out of who I am,” Davis noted. Bringing Tarzan to the stage has been a rewarding experience for Capadonna. “Every aspect of it has been terrific,” Capadonna said. “The music, the choreography, the direction. It’s been a strong and enjoyable process all around.” Tarzan has an important message for audiences as well, Capadonna added: “In the end, it’s all about the people who have been there for you, the people who raised you and made you what you are today. Family is incredibly important.” Tarzan The Musical will be performed at The Stadium Theatre, 28 Monument Square, Woonsocket. Tickets are available at the Stadium Theatre Box Office or by calling 401-762-4545 and online at stadiumtheatre.com .

Author-As-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan As Historical Branded Entertainment
53 Chapter 3 Author-as-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan as Historical Branded Entertainment Matthew Freeman University of Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT This chapter explores the historical relationship between the branded media entertainment of Tarzan and the rise of consumer culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It argues that the transmedia licensing of this property across pulp magazines, comics, and radio reflected the growing embrace of brand-franchise logics throughout the business landscape of America at that time. I offer the metaphor of ‘stepping stones’ to understand the brand linkages between these different media products in which consumption of one product led to the consumption of another. More importantly, I analyse the function of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his company, suggesting that his visibility as franchise-author played a crucial role in constructing these brand linkages between media products. Contextualised as part of the very different cultural landscape of 1920s and 1930s consumer culture, I demonstrate how an autho- rial name operated commercially as much as a corporatised component of the branded entertainment products of Tarzan as the Tarzan character himself. INTRODUCTION By 1975, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., a family-owned corporation founded in March 1923, was reported to be earning in the region of $1 million annually from the sales of texts and products based on the fic- tional character Tarzan. ‘The world-wide gross of Tarzan products sold under license to us is at least $50 million a year,’ asserted Robert M. Hodes, the man in charge of the Tarzan empire at that time (The New York Times, 1975, p.

The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

Sure as the Sun Turn to Moon Reprise. Based on Children's Books. While Tarzan of the Apes met with some critical success, subsequent books in the series received a cooler reception and have been criticized for being derivative and formulaic. Bederman, in fact, reminds readers that when Tarzan first introduces himself to Jane, he does so as "Tarzan, the killer of beasts and many black men". Back to School Picks. Tarzan follows the extraordinary adventures of an orphaned infant raised by a family of gorillas who matures into a young man with the instincts of a jungle animal and the physical prowess of an athletic superstar. We are looking to choose a play for the summer. He is presented as behaving ethically in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief , as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes ; or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed.

The yellow, mildewed pages of the diary of a man long dead, and the records of the Colonial Office dovetail perfectly with the narrative of my convivial host, and so I give you the story as I painstakingly pieced it out from these several various agencies.

"I have it on the best of authority that neither the police nor the special agents of the general staff have the faintest conception of how it was accomplished. All they know, all that anyone knows, is that Nikolas Rokoff has escaped." John Clayton, Lord Greystoke--he who had been "Tarzan of the Apes"-- sat in silence in the apartments of his friend, Lieutenant Paul D'Arnot, in Paris, gazing meditatively at the toe of his immaculate boot. His mind revolved many memories, recalled by the escape of his arch-enemy from the French military prison to which he had been sentenced for life upon the testimony of the ape-man. He thought of the lengths to which Rokoff had once gone to compass his death, and he realized that what the man had already done would doubtless be as nothing by comparison with what he would wish and plot to do now that he was again free.

Almost omnipotent, he, in the realm of his people. Dango, Sheeta, even Numa the mighty were as naught to the pachyderm. For a hundred years he had come and gone up and down the land that had trembled to the comings and the goings of his forebears for countless ages. In peace he had lived with Dango the hyena, Sheeta the leopard and Numa the lion. Man alone had made war upon him. Man, who holds the unique distinction among created things of making war on all living creatures, even to his own kind. Man, the ruthless; man, the pitiless; man, the most hated living organism that Nature has evolved. Always during the long hundred years of his life, Tantor had known man.
