  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

  • Sparrows (1926)
    Sparrows (1926) Closing Night Gala: Sunday 21 March 2021 Music composed by: Taylor and Cameron Graves Sparrows, released in 1926, marks the final time Mary Pickford plays a youngster on the big screen and ​ it was her next to last silent film. She was 33 years old and had already starred in 40 features and more than 100 short films. Over the 17 years she had been making movies, she had become a creative producer, a savvy businesswoman and the highest paid and best-known actress in the world. She was also one of the hardest working people in the business. Between 1912 and 1919, Pickford jumped between a variety of studios, increasing her paychecks astronomically each time until she risked it all to produce her own movies and join with Douglas Fairbanks, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin to form United Artists to distribute them. She married Fairbanks in 1920 and they ruled the filmmaking world from their Beverly Hills home dubbed Pickfair. They built their own Pickford Fairbanks studio on Santa Monica Blvd and on those 18 acres, they each had their administration offices as well as crew and craftsmen to write, direct and film their movies. Mary had her own bungalow where Doug often joined her for lunch and they came to the studio together in the morning and went home – often very late – together at night. Only a few months before deciding on Sparrows, Mary’s portion of the lot had been a turn of the century, ​ New York tenement for her film Little Annie Rooney.
