The Division of Public Programs supports projects that convey significant scholarshipto the gen- eral public and engage citizens in critical interpretation and analysis of the humanities. It does this through in- terpretive exhibitions, lectures, symposia, reading and discussion groups, and printed materials. Another important focus has been the development of radio, television, and film programs through the division's Hu- manities Projects in Media program. This guide, with descriptions of more than 800 productions developed with NEHsupport, is designed to identify available materials and to stimulate their use by individuals,groups, schools, and organizations. Most of the programs, though originally produced for broadcast, can be used effectively in small discus- sion settings or in larger program efforts. All film, video, and radio programs are listed in alphabetical order in one of the following eight sections: United States History and American Studies Literature and Language World Culture and History History, Theory, and Criticism of the Arts Archaeology and Anthropology Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics Children's and Family Programming General Humanities Each program listing includes information about content, production credits, format, length, ancillary materials, and awards. Each also provides the name of the current distribution agent (as of June 1992). Unless otherwise noted, the listed distributor represents the audiovisual/educational market (libraries, schools, etc.).

Radio programs are noted by an (R) in the table of contents. All otherprograms are either films or videos. In several instances, the number of individual programs in a radio or television series exceeds thirty.Limita- tions of space preclude a full listing of the individual program titles; however, general themes of theprograms and some sample program titles are included. We are grateful to the many individuals and organizations who contributedso substantially to this body of work and through it to public understandinL lnd appreciation of the humanities. We hope thatyou will find this listing useful. Donald Gibson Director Division of Public Programs 5 THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES In order "to promote progress and kholarship in the humanities and the arts in the United States," Congress en- acted the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965. This act established the National Endowment for the Humanities as an independent grant-making agency of the federal government to support research, education, and public programs in the humanities. Grants arc made through six divisionsEduca- tion Programs, Fellowships and Seminars, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, Research Programs, and State Programsand one office, the Office of Challenge Grants. The Humanities In the act that established the National Endowment for the Humanities, the term humanities includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following disciplines: history; philosophy; languages; linguistics; literature; archaeology; jurisprudence; the history, theory, and criticism of the arts; ethics; comparative religion; and those aspects of the social sciences that employ historical or philosophical approaches. What the Endowment Supports The National Endowment for the Humanities supports exemplary work to advance and disseminate knowl- edge in all the disciplines of the humanities. Endowment support is intended to complement and assist private and local efforts and to serve as a catalyst to increase nonfederal support for projects of high quality. Although the activities funded by the Endowmmt vary greatly in cost, in the numbers of people involved, and in their specific intents and benefits, they all have in common two requirements for funding: significance to learning in the humanities and excellence in conception. In the most general terms, NEH-supported projects aid scholarship and research in the humanities, help improve humanities education, and foster in the Ameri- can people a greater curiousity about and understanding of the humanities.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

The plot is quite original and surreal: a child who is home alone and capable of making the bandits's lives miserable? Sure, it's an impossible story, but who cares? Far from being a perfect movie, it is however okay and fun to watch, entertaining and contains slapstick humor too although I don't like some of the language used.
