  • Edna Ferber Last
    EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies And the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Liberal Studies By Anne Efman Abramson, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 30, 2010 EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS Anne E. Abramson, B.A. Mentor: Michael Collins, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Edna Ferber (1885‐1963) was a Pulitzer Prize‐winning author and one of the most popular writers of her time. Today, however, she is rarely read in schools or colleges, although her plays are still produced, and the films based on her novels, plays and short stories continue to be appreciated by classic film lovers. This thesis demonstrates how Edna Ferber created female characters in the early years of the twentieth century who struggled against the constraints of society’s traditional female roles, who were the first in their nontraditional professions, and who achieved their own version of the American Dream. Edna Ferber also revisited American history with stories that highlighted women’s contributions to America. This thesis first introduces Edna Ferber, her background and her early years drawing from Ferber’s two autobiographies, A Peculiar Treasure, 1939, and ii A Kind of Magic, 1963. Second, it discusses the New Woman at the turn of the century; the American Dream, historically and in relation to Ferber’s female characters; and Edna Ferber as a middlebrow modern writer whose literary output had powerful cultural agency.

  • New Studio on Broadway: Music Theatre and Acting
    ® ® 2019 CELEBRATING JIMMY NEDERLANDER James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion; and in Chicago: the Auditorium, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and CIBC Theatres, and the Oriental Theatre which this year was renamed the James M. Nederlander Theatre in Jimmy’s honor. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy was beloved by the industry and the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004).

  • Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber's Giant
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Biodiversity Informatics Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean 5 Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber’s Giant (1952-1956) J. E. Smyth In December 1954, America’s best-selling historical novelist, Edna Ferber, wrote to director George Stevens emphasizing her continued interest in his production of her latest book, Giant. She believed that Giant’s value lay in its exposure of racial prejudice against Mexican Americans in Texas, and that its racial themes had become “more vital, more prevalent today in the United States than . when I began to write the novel.”1 Ferber hoped that one day Anglo oil millionaires like Bick Benedict and Jett Rink, the originators and perpetu- ators of these inequalities in the economic and social hierarchies of America’s new West, would be “anachronisms like the dear old covered wagons and the California gold-rush boys.”2 Later in May 1955, when shooting first began on the film, Ferber wrote to Henry Ginsberg, producer and co-founder of the inde- pendent film company, Giant Productions, “I don’t quite know why the motion picture presentation of Giant interests and fascinates me much more than the screen career of any of my other novels or plays. That goes for Show Boat, So Big, Cimarron, and many others. Perhaps it is because behind the characters and events in Giant there stands a definite meaning, a purpose.”3 Although Ferber had considered writing a historical novel about Texas as early as 1939, she only started to research the topic seriously after the war.

  • The Morning Line
    THE MORNING LINE DATE: Monday, December 14, 2015 FROM: Melissa Cohen, Michelle Farabaugh PAGES: 14, including this page. C3 December 14, 2015 Public Theater Announces ‘Twelfth Night’ Musical By Andrew R. Chow The Public Theater’s popular Public Works program will return in the summer with a musical adaptation of “Twelfth Night,” created by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Shaina Taub. The Public Works program brings together professional and nonprofessional actors from across New York City’s five boroughs with song-and-dance productions of classic works. “The performers come together to create a vibrant theatrical tapestry; you may be able to tally the newcomers onstage, but in this embracing context they bring as much pleasure as the polished performers,” Charles Isherwood wrote in The New York Times about last season’s “The Odyssey.” This season will lead off with “Twelfth Night,” Shakespeare’s comedy of crossed signals which appeared in its nonmusical form at Shakespeare in the Park with Anne Hathaway in 2009. The Public Theater puts on Shakespeare in the Park. The music and lyrics for the musical will be written by Ms. Taub, who has ample experience in both the pop and Broadway worlds. Mr. Kwei-Armah, a British actor and the artistic director of Baltimore’s Center Stage, will direct. According to Ms. Taub, the production will be set in a port city during a carnival. While the spoken text will be in Shakespeare’s words, the songs will be in contemporary language. “It’s so amazing to start from a play that works so well, and just zoom out the emotional moments and turn them into big songs,” Ms.
