  • 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.

  • A FUNNY THING HAPPENED on the WAY to the FORUM Book by BURT SHEVELOVE and LARRY GELBART Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
    Dural Musical Society presents A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Book by BURT SHEVELOVE and LARRY GELBART Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM Originally Produced on Broadway by Harold S. Prince Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia). All performance materials supplied by Hal Leonard Australia A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a delightfully funny musical. Inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus (251–183 BC), this musical tells the story of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. The plot displays many classic elements of farce, including puns, the slamming of doors, cases of mistaken identity (frequently involving characters disguising themselves as one another), and satirical comments on social class. The musical's original 1962 Broadway run won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Author (Musical). A Funny Thing… has enjoyed several Broadway and West End revivals and was made into a successful film starring the original lead of the musical, Zero Mostel. The 2012 Australian revival saw Geoffrey Rush following in the footsteps of musical theatre greats who have played the lead role of Pseudolus - Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers and Nathan Lane in the USA, and Frankie Howerd in the UK. In the case of Frankie Howerd, he followed up his role in “Forum” with a very similar character in the British TV series “Up Pompeii!” which went on to become a successful movie of the same name. This show doesn’t age – it is as popular now as it was when it first hit Broadway.

  • Carmen Mirandaesqueness” Stylizing Gender/En-Gendering Style
    Cercles 14 (2005) “CARMEN MIRANDAESQUENESS” STYLIZING GENDER/EN-GENDERING STYLE FERNANDO DE SOUSA ROCHA University of North Florida To Susana Cid-Hazard, for all her gaiety In “Bananas Is My Business,” a documentary on Carmen Miranda’s life and her cross-cultural trajectory, Helena Solberg casts a drag-queen to perform the Brazilian bombshell, the lady in the tutti-frutti hat, the soon-to-be Hollywood star. Nothing more appropriate, one might think, since Carmen Miranda has presently become a queer icon. With her exaggerated, outlandish costumes, Carmen Miranda appears to be a very appropriate figure for the contemporary notion of queerness and, consequently, for the possibility of thinking gender through the lens of performativity. As Judith Butler suggests, the very concept of gender appears to be entangled with that of performativity. Nonetheless, if one may say, tongue-in-cheek, that Carmen Miranda is the queen of queens, isn’t that precisely because we must somehow also throw the notion of style into the mix? The purpose of my paper is to examine the connections between gender, performativity, and style in the figure of the Hollywoodian Carmen Miranda. With that purpose in mind, I shall first discuss recent theories on gender and style in order to evince a possible crossroads between the two notions. My contention is that, if both gender studies and stylistics have moved towards a contextualized mode of thought that avoids essentialism, either in the form of a gender ontology or in that of a textual identity that is the effect of “immanentist” readings, then we must not only see both gender and style as doings or performances, but also account for the interventions of style in the gender performative and of gender in the doing of style.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.
