  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

I talked musical theater, at Plymouth State University. When I was to Development Director Katya Maiser about the challenges of little, she was still performing and she would bring me to running a cultural center in a small town surrounded by rehearsals. I would sit with my coloring books and stuff and wilderness. watch, so I got pretty hooked. I guess when she was five months pregnant with me she played a boy in the opera of ROMEO AND JULIET, so she says that was my first time on stage!” I spoke recently with Kate Arecchi, entering her second season as Artistic Director of the Papermill Theatre in Lincoln, NH (no connection to the famous Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ), nestled in the valley below Loon Mountain Ski Resort in the White Mountains. I had remarked that her bio showed her to be a real theater vagabond, with credits from around the country. No surprise to find that she was almost the stereotype-born-in-a-trunk-in-the-dressing-room-kid. “My dad was in the Coast Guard, so we moved around a lot. Actually, my parents still keep their sailboat in Portland.

  • Musical Theatre in the Mountains: an Examination of West Virginia Public Theatre’S History, Mission, Practices, and Community Impact
    MUSICAL THEATRE IN THE MOUNTAINS: AN EXAMINATION OF WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE’S HISTORY, MISSION, PRACTICES, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. David S. Sollish A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Michael B. Ellison, Advisor Elaine J. Colprit Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan L. Chambers Ronald E. Shields ii ABSTRACT Michael B. Ellison, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which a professional theatre can impact its community and to provide useful suggestions for young producers hoping to start their own theatre. By using the West Virginia Public Theatre as a case study and by examining its three-part mission (to entertain, to educate, and to improve the quality of life), this study highlights both effective and ineffectual practices conducted by the theatre, its administration, and its staff to ascertain the efficacy of that mission. Furthermore, the numerous voices stemming from my personal interviews with a cross-section of the community have served as a principal source of data from which to analyze the theatre’s impact on the blue-collar, sports- focused society of North Central West Virginia. West Virginia Public Theatre was established in 1985 and since has grown to be a reputable summer stock company. Modeled on the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, West Virginia Public Theatre has developed from a small, unknown theatre performing in a parking lot tent to a well-respected summer stock theatre with aspirations of further developing into a regional company.
