Shi Section number Page Minneapol; 7. DESCRIPTION The Sam S. Shubert Theatre is located at 22 Seventh Street N. in downtown Minneapolis. It stands on the block bounded by Hennepin Avenue/ First Avenue N., Sixth Street N., and Seventh Street N. Its main facade faces Seventh Street. The theater is surrounded on the west, north, and east by asphalt-surfaced parking lots. Most of the other structures on the block were demolished in the 1980s. Across the street to the west is a large new sports arena, across the street to the east is a recent shopping and office complex, and across the street to the south are several circa 1910-1925 two story commercial structures and a former Greyhound bus depot (1936). The Shubert Theatre is currently vacant. The Shubert was originally built close to a narrow sidewalk along Seventh Street. Streetcar tracks ran along Seventh when the theater was built, and there were originally 5-globe public streetlamps standing in front of the outer corners of the main facade. There were narrow alleys along the western and eastern facades of the building. A 1912 map of the block indicates that in that year there was a vacant lot west of the theater, two and three story commercial buildings to the east that had storefronts on the first stories and hotel rooms on the upper floors, and four houses in the northwestern portion of the block (Sanborn 1912). The Shubert Theatre is an excellent example of the Classical Revival style which was designed by New York architect William Albert Swasey. It was constructed in 1910 by the J.

In 1883, the Minneapolis Mill Company hired William de la Barre as an engineer and agent for the waterpower works. A number of the mills had installed auxiliary steam engines to supplement the waterpower. Meanwhile De la Barre proposed to solve the waterpower problem by increasing the head and fall available. Working on the West Side canal (Minnesota Historical Society) According to Kane, “De la Barre undertook to deepen the canal and lower the tailraces under his jurisdiction, while the millers promised to lower their wheel pits, tailraces, and headraces. Before the year ended, De la Barre had deepened the canal from 14 to 20 feet and lengthened it from 600 to 950 feet. The expansion increased its flowage capacity from 30 to 40 per cent and raised the water level to produce more power by bring water to the lessees’ wheels at a greater head.

  • The First Critical Assessments of a Streetcar Named Desire: the Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers
    FALL 1991 45 The First Critical Assessments of A Streetcar Named Desire: The Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers Philip C. Kolin The first review of A Streetcar Named Desire in a New York City paper was not of the Broadway premiere of Williams's play on December 3, 1947, but of the world premiere in New Haven on October 30, 1947. Writing in Variety for November 5, 1947, Bone found Streetcar "a mixture of seduction, sordid revelations and incidental perversion which will be revolting to certain playgoers but devoured with avidity by others. Latter category will predomin­ ate." Continuing his predictions, he asserted that Streetcar was "important theatre" and that it would be one "trolley that should ring up plenty of fares on Broadway" ("Plays Out of Town"). Like Bone, almost everyone else interested in the history of Streetcar has looked forward to the play's reception on Broadway. Yet one of the most important chapters in Streetcar's stage history has been neglected, that is, the play's tryouts before that momentous Broadway debut. Oddly enough, bibliographies of Williams fail to include many of the Streetcar tryout reviews and surveys of the critical reception of the play commence with the pronouncements found in the New York Theatre Critics' Reviews for the week of December 3, 1947. Such neglect is unfortunate. Streetcar was performed more than a full month and in three different cities before it ever arrived on Broadway. Not only was the play new, so was its producer. Making her debut as a producer with Streetcar, Irene Selznick was one of the powerhouses behind the play.

Since its debut, this masterpiece has enthralled and delighted audiences around the world. And the widow herself, Hanna Glawari, has proved to be a woman of substance for generations. Life at the height of the gilded age, or La Belle Époque, aspired to be merry, lavish, and carefree. However, they were all dancing on the precipice of disaster: the Great War. We recognize it in the irresistible cast of characters who seduce, sway and swoon their way to true love or farewell. And we hear it in the unforgettable melodies of a Polish mazurka, the cancan, and, of course, the indelible “Merry Widow Waltz.” Sandra Piques Eddy and Alex Richardson in “ As we refl ect on our time on this venerable stage, we are Boston Lyric Opera's production of Werther.

  • On and Off the Cliff
    The Newsletter of The Cliff Dwellers ON AND OFF THE CLIFF Volume 39, Number 2 March-April 2017 International Women’s Day-2017: Be Confident in Your Power! By Mike Deines CD’03 International Women’s Day had its roots in the labor movements at the turn of the Twentieth Century in North America and across Europe. The United Nations began celebrating IWD on March 8 during International Women’s Year in 1975, and two years later the U.N. General Assembly proclaimed a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed by Member States in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In essence, IWD is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for social change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. The Cliff Dwellers at the urging of then President Leslie Eve Moran introduced Recht CD’03 became part of IWD celebrations in 2011. The Club IWD keynote speaker Andrea Kramer. has focused on bringing together a host of interesting women to inspire and guide the next generation of young women in Chicago. To that end, again this year a group of 30 scholars from nearby high schools (Chicago Tech Academy, Jones High School, and Muchin High School) shared lunch and inspiring stories with nearly 70 women and Club members. Eve Moran CD’10 once again organized and hosted the March 8 program. The keynote address was given by Andrea Kramer, a partner in an international law firm where she was a founding member of the firm’s Diversity Committee.

  • About Finish Line
    “It’s a story with particular heft for Bostonians, of course. But it’s also a story with universal appeal, about the strength of the human spirit.” – The Boston Globe ABOUT FINISH LINE From March 15-26, 2017, the world premiere of Finish Line: A Documentary Play About the 2013 Boston Marathon was presented by the Boch Center in association with Boston Theater Company at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre. Finish Line brings a story of recovery, resilience, and determination center stage. Through a transcript created verbatim from dozens of interviews, Finish Line uses powerful firsthand accounts to show how a community came together to heal and grow stronger in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. It does not focus on the act of terror itself but rather on the people whose lives were impacted. Directed and co-created by Joey Frangieh and co-created by Lisa Rafferty, the documentary style production features interviews from survivors, runners, doctors, police officers, spectators, journalists, clergy, and students. These include Liz Norden, mother of two sons injured in the bombings, news anchor Maria Stephanos, Massachusetts General Hospital trauma surgeon Dr. David R. King, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, 1976 Marathon winner Jack Fultz, and Boston Globe photographer John Tlumacki, among many others. A team began interviews for Finish Line in March 2015. In total, 94 individuals were interviewed for the project. After holding seven workshops, preview performances of Finish Line were presented in a 50 seat conference room in April 2016 and received an overwhelming response from audiences. Over the next year, Boston Theater Company and the Boch Center worked together to conduct more interviews, make changes to the script, hold auditions, design a set, and much more that led to the world premiere of Finish Line at the 1,500 seat Shubert Theatre in March 2017.
