Opal Clark on Directing Stop Kiss An Exploration of the Directorial Process A thesis presented to The faculty of the Department of Performance and Communication East Tennessee State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Professional Communication by Opal Clark August 2017 Mr. Robert Funk, Chair Dr. Wesley Buerkle Ms. Karen Brewster Keywords: Theatre, Directing, Communications, Rhetorical Analysis, Stop Kiss ABSTRACT Opal Clark on Directing Stop Kiss An Exploration of the Directorial Process by Opal Clark The intent of this thesis was to execute a successful run of the play, Stop Kiss by Diana Son while achieving the playwright’s intended message. Opal Clark directed this production of Stop Kiss at East Tennessee State University under arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. It was performed to sold out audiences in ETSU Theatre and Dance Studio 205 October 2-7, 2016. The play explores experiences and hostility toward same sex couples, their relationships with one another and how one individual discovers sexuality. The project was documented through a series of journal entries written by the director. A prompt book was created to document movement and motivation of each character throughout the blocking of the show as a requirement of the department. Additionally, a feminist criticism of the script further explores the portrayal of the plotline. The consequences and implications of dramatic choices within the context of the play are analyzed within this section. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................... 2 CHAPTER 1.

Historically, boy children have been more highly prized than girl children. We hear horror stories from foreign lands about the killing of girl babies, in order for the family to have a boy child. Even in the United States, our society is geared to privilege boys over girls. We see it in schools, employment, the courts. These issues were on the mind of playwright Diana Son while writing Boy. Diana, a first — generation American of Korean descent, was born in Delaware. She has been writing for theater since 1983 and shared some thoughts about the creation of Boy. Where did the idea for Boy come from? One day I was thinking about my mom and how she was one of six daughters because my grandparents kept trying to have a boy They never did, so they eventually adopted a nephew, which was the custom in Korea, in those days My mother always spoke about her adopted brother in reverential and affectionate

  • History and Background
    History and Background Book by Lisa Kron, music by Jeanine Tesori Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel SYNOPSIS Both refreshingly honest and wildly innovative, Fun Home is based on Vermont author Alison Bechdel’s acclaimed graphic memoir. As the show unfolds, meet Bechdel at three different life stages as she grows and grapples with her uniquely dysfunctional family, her sexuality, and her father’s secrets. ABOUT THE WRITERS LISA KRON was born and raised in Michigan. She is the daughter of Ann, a former community activist, and Walter, a German-born lawyer and Holocaust survivor. Kron spent much of her childhood feeling like an outsider because of her religion and sexuality. She attended Kalamazoo College before moving to New York in 1984, where she found success as both an actress and playwright. Many of Kron’s plays draw upon her childhood experiences. She earned early praise for her autobiographical plays 2.5 Minute Ride and 101 Humiliating Stories. In 1989, Kron co-founded the OBIE Award-winning theater company The Five Lesbian Brothers, a troupe that used humor to produce work from a feminist and lesbian perspective. Her play Well, which she both wrote and starred in, opened on Broadway in 2006. Kron was nominated for the Best Actress in a Play Tony Award for her work. JEANINE TESORI is the most honored female composer in musical theatre history. Upon receiving her degree in music from Barnard College, she worked as a musical theatre conductor before venturing into the art of composing in her 30s. She made her Broadway debut in 1995 when she composed the dance music for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and found her first major success with the off- Broadway musical Violet (Obie Award, Lucille Lortel Award), which was later produced on Broadway in 2014.

  • The Author Is Dead, Long Live the Author: Negotiating Textual Authority in Westworld, the OA and 13 Reasons Why
    . Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 The Author is Dead, Long Live the Author: Negotiating textual authority in Westworld, The OA and 13 Reasons Why Itay Harlap, Sapir Academic College and Tel Aviv University, Israel Ariel Avissar, Tel Aviv University, Israel Abstract: This paper examines the ways in which television imagines the relationship between creators and audiences in the contemporary media landscape. This is developed through an examination of the inaugural seasons of three American television dramas that debuted between October 2016 and March 2017: Netflix’s The OA and 13 Reasons Why and HBO’s Westworld; all three series featured the character of a storyteller who was killed within the narrative, in what was presented as an act of collaboration between the storyteller and their audience. We will question whether new participatory modes of media engagement truly engender ‘the birth of the viewer’ through a symbolic ‘killing’ of the creator, or merely serve to reaffirm the authority of the creator, reimagining the author-function as a powerful marketing brand. Keywords: television, audience, fan audience, new media, textual analysis, critical media studies Introduction Over a period of six months in 2016-2017, three American television dramas debuted that featured the character of a storyteller who was killed within the narrative, in what was presented as an act of collaboration between the storyteller and their audience. In the case of The OA (2016-2019), this was the titular protagonist (a character portrayed by series co- creator, Brit Marling), who narrated her life story for a group of characters; on 13 Reasons Page 89 Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 Why (2017-2020), it was Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), who narrated thirteen confessional cassette tape recordings made prior to her suicide; on Westworld (2017-), it was Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), founder and creative director of the ‘Westworld’ theme park, who orchestrated the park’s principal narrative.

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. a tpIssue 5,l Springa 2000 y Diana Son’s STOP KISS had its New York premiere at the Joseph Papp Public Theater where it extended three times, making it the longest running play at the Public under the George C. Wolfe administration. The play earned nominations for both the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama League Award, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. In this poignant and funny play, two young women slowly discover that they might be falling in love. When their tentative first kiss pro- vokes an act of violence, their lives are transformed in ways they couldn’t have pre- dicted. Our director of professional rights, Robert Vaughan, had a phone conversa- tion with Diana Son about how her own life has been transformed since the success of STOP KISS. RV: This is going to be fun. DS: Yeah. We’re putting you on the cover. There’s a picture of you sitting on a ledge at the Public Theater. You’re kidding. My hair is twelve inches longer than that now. Is it really? Well, not that much longer. It’s kind of grown out. But I’m a playwright—when else would I get my picture taken? Exactly. So, did you know you’re a complete mystery? Really? Everybody I’ve dealt with on STOP KISS so far has the most interesting questions about you. Should we keep you a mystery, or should we tell them about you? It’s so tempting … I wonder which we should do? I’ll give you an example, but I shouldn’t name names.

  • Contemporary Queer Theatre As Utopic Activism
    TOWARD THE HORIZON: CONTEMPORARY QUEER THEATRE AS UTOPIC ACTIVISM Cody Allyn Page 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 May 2021 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Nermis Mieses Graduate Faculty Representative Angela Ahlgren Heidi Nees © 2021 Cody Allyn Page All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In Toward the Horizon: Contemporary Queer Theatre as Utopic Activism, I pursue two intersecting goals. First, I offer close readings of theatrical representations of queerness that expand beyond the shallow representations of the not-so-distant past, including the trope of the gay best friend (G.B.F.) and so-called . homosexual problem plays.” Second, I engage with dramaturgies of theatre for social change, reading those dramaturgical possibilities into scripted drama in support of my argument that contemporary queer theatre creates utopic activist potential within viewing and/or reading audiences. Over five chapters, I explicate and critically consider queer theatrical works that deploy dramaturgies and pedagogies of theatre for social change, including Bull in a China Shop by Bryna Turner, Significant Other by Joshua Harmon, Choir Boy by Tarell Alvin McCraney, Scissoring by Christina Quintana, Log Cabin by Jordan Harrison, The Prom by Chad Beguelin and Matthew Sklar, A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson, and The Inheritance by Matthew Lopez. I build upon the queer theory legacies of José Esteban Muñoz and his conceptualizing of utopia on the horizon, and Jill Dolan’s notion of utopic performatives, to argue that these pieces hold the potential to lead audiences towards what I term “utopic activism.” Utopic activism concerns the potential to create change through the application of pedagogies and dramaturgies of theatre for social change to scripted drama, and in turn prompt audiences toward envisioning, embracing, and enacting a better future.

Professor Cheryl Black Professor Heather Carver Professor Kevin Brown Professor Cornelius Eady Professor Kim Marra Professor Felicia Hardison Londré In memory of my grandparents, Lowell and Cecilia Westhoven, who always encouraged me to take my studies seriously. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am thoroughly indebted to the mentorship of Dr. Cheryl Black, advisor to this dissertation. Dr. Black’s professional guidance was instrumental in identifying, articulating, and bringing to fulfillment this project’s conceptual framework, methodology, and purpose. The numerous iterations of each chapter that Dr. Black not only read, but for which she offered careful edits, insightful suggestions, and (of equal importance) encouragement, nurtured me in becoming a more critical thinker and, surely, a stronger researcher. Perhaps most importantly, I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Black for her vested interest in my ideas, for listening to my voice, and ensuring that neither was buried within the scholarship, nor lost in the editing process.
