  • A Critical Study of the Family Crises in Sam Shepard’S Buried Child and True West
    ABSTRACT RITUALS AND MYTHS: A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE FAMILY CRISES IN SAM SHEPARD’S BURIED CHILD AND TRUE WEST In this thesis, I examine two plays by Sam Shepard, Buried Child and True West, and how the family crises in each culminate in an act of ritual. Applying the framework of Rene Girard, I explore how these two plays express Girard’s theory of the role of ritual sacrifice in communities—specifically, that rituals can be traced back to an ancient act of sacrifice in which a community killed a scapegoated victim to maintain social cohesion and de-escalate the growing antagonism that threatened their society. Writing in the late 70s, Shepard’s work can be seen as a commentary on the Vietnam War. His work at this time reflects an American society that was increasingly aware of the sacrifices deemed necessary to maintain American exceptionalism. Shepard’s plays depict moments of ritual, but also confront the audience with their inherent violence and injustice. He works to deconstruct social myths that conceal this truth, particularly the “social myth” of traditional family roles. Ultimately, Shepard exposes the violence weaved into the social fabric of America, but also confronts the chaos that could erupt if that social fabric were to unravel.

  • The Creation and Development of Rent by Jonathan Larson
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON Elizabeth Titrington, Master of Arts, 2007 Directed By: Professor Richard King Chair, Department of Musicology Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success , the hit musical Rent by Jonathan Larson has received scant attention in academic literature. The story of Rent has been told and retold in the popular media, but a look at Larson’s own drafts, notes, and other personal wri tings adds another important and largely missing voice – Larson’s own. In this study, I use the Jonathan Larson Collection, donated to the Library of Congress in 2004 , to examine this seminal work and composer by tracing Rent ’s development and documenting L arson’s creative process. My analysis of material from the Larson Collection and the interviews of others involved in Rent ’s development reveal s the story of how this unconventional rock musical made it to the stage, highlighting the importance of visio n, but also of revision and collaboration. “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON By Elizabeth Corbin Titrington Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryl and, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2007 Advisory Committee: Professor Richard King , Chair Professor Jonathan Dueck Professor Robert Provine © Copyright by Elizabeth Titrington 2007 Preface Although I cannot claim the status of Rent head – I do not know every word to “La Vie Bohème” by heart or have a website dedicated to the show – I admit to approach ing this project as a fan as well as scho lar.

  • Christmas Under Wraps’
    ‘CHRISTMAS UNDER WRAPS’ CAST BIOS CANDACE CAMERON BURE (Lauren Brunell) – Candace Cameron Bure realized early that it was her desire to be an actress. Born in 1976 to Robert and Barbara Cameron, she grew up watching her older brother Kirk Cameron star in the popular show “Growing Pains.” It was from this experience that Cameron Bure knew that she wanted to pursue acting. At the age of 5, she appeared in several national television commercials and prime-time shows like “St. Elsewhere,” and “Who’s The Boss.” She even had the opportunity to take on a small role in her brother’s show “Growing Pains.” It was in 1987 however, that Cameron Bure took on the most important role of her young life as Donna Jo "D.J." Tanner on the series “Full House.” Viewers watched Cameron Bure grow up during the show's eight-year run and maintained an unwavering affection for her, even as she grew older. Despite being off the air since 1995, “Full House” still ranks as one of the most successful series of all time. While much of her success was in television, Cameron Bure also gained starring roles in feature films. Joining the long tradition of John Hughes movies, she acted alongside Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson in “Some Kind of Wonderful” in 1987. She then had the opportunity to work with acting greats Tom Hanks and Sally Field in the 1988 comedy, “Punchline.” After “Full House” wrapped its last season, Cameron Bure met her future husband, professional hockey player Valeri Bure and began making her own full house.
