  • Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director You don’t have to be a baseball fan to know that the New York Yankees‐Boston Red Sox rivalry bitterly divides colleagues, neighbors, families, and Goodspeed patrons. In fact, according to The Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, East Haddam is located on the frontlines of this legendary baseball feud with slightly more than half the population favoring the Red Sox. What better way for Goodspeed to bring some levity to this divisive situation than with a hilarious musical comedy? Fortunately, Joe DiPietro’s side‐splitting adaptation of Damn Yankees contemporizes the book by replacing the defunct Washington Senators with the Boston Red Sox. We are pleased to have the opportunity to provide a neutral zone where members of the Yankees Universe and Red Sox Nation can forget their bitter differences for a few hours and share some laughs when the curtain goes up. Flashing back to the middle of the 20th century, Douglass Wallop’s 1954 novel The Year The Yankees Lost the Pennant was a best‐selling major league baseball twist on the Faust fable. Damn Yankees’ genesis was set in motion when William Morris agent Albert B. Taylor brought this property to the attention of legendary producer, director, writer, and actor George Abbott. Abbott and his team had just struck gold with the smash hit musical The Pajama Game, a show based on Richard Bissel’s novel 7½ Cents. Perhaps this monumental success gave Abbott the chutzpah to take the idea of a baseball musical seriously, despite the fact that all previous attempts at creating one were unsuccessful.

  • Clarence & Richard Adler
    AMICA International Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association Honor Roll Clarence & Richard Adler Richard Adler’s lengthy daily swim is one of his Lake Placid pleasures. Though his career is based in New York City, the eighty-two-year-old’s musical and emotional roots are strongest here. The co-composer of Tony Award–winning musicals Damn Yankees and The Pajama Game spends a month each summer with his wife, Susan, in a rented home on the shore of Lake Placid. Richard’s Adirondack memories date back more than seventy-five years. His father, concert pianist and master piano teacher Clarence Adler, bought a home three miles outside the village of Lake Placid in October 1923, providing his family and his future music students with a summer retreat in the mountains. Almost at the end of then unpaved Averyville Road, the 110-acre farm became a music camp. The barn— christened the “barnatorium??became a concert hall, and several outbuildings were converted to practice cottages for piano students. The Adlers named the place Ka-ren-i-o-ke, which in Iroquois translates as “place of the beautiful song.” Later, it was shortened to Karinoke. Every June, Sheldon “Shel” Otis of Lake Placid would drive his moving van down Route 9 to the Adler family’s apartment on Central Park West, in Manhattan, and return laden with their personal possessions and several pianos. He reversed the trip in late September. Clarence’s pupils in the early years included rising stars such as composers Aaron Copland and Richard Rodgers, conductor Walter Hendl and numerous others.

  • Guide to the Presbyterian Players Collection
    Guide to IU South Bend Presbyterian Players Collection Summary Information Repository: Indiana University South Bend Archives 1700 Mishawaka Avenue P.O. Box 7111 South Bend, Indiana 46634 Phone: (574) 520-4392 Email: [email protected] Creator: Indiana University South Bend Title: Presbyterian Players Collection Extent: .50 linear ft. Abstract: Often touted as “South Bend’s oldest community theatre,” the Presbyterian Players mounted hundreds of productions over five decades, including familiar plays and popular musicals, as well as the occasional lesser-known work. The group formed in 19451 under the auspices of the First Presbyterian Church of South Bend, Indiana. While some productions took place in venues like the Washington High School Auditorium, the Indiana University South Bend Auditorium, or the Bendix Theatre at the Century Center, the majority of the performances associated with the programs in this collection took place in the Church itself. The First Presbyterian Church has a long history as part of the wider Michiana community. A small group of early South Bend residents came together to form the church in 1834, and as the congregation grew, so too did the structures built to accommodate it. The grandest of these, built in 1889, still stand at the corner of Lafayette and West Washington Streets—though it is no longer the site of the First Presbyterian Church, which has been located on West Colfax Avenue since 1953.2 Sisters Mary Pappas (February 7, 1926–June 11, 2012) and Aphrodite Pappas (c. 1923– ), who donated the materials found in this inventory, directed, acted in, or otherwise helped stage numerous performances of the Presbyterian Players.
