Wisconsin Lutheran College WISCONSIN LUTHERAN COLLEGE 8800 W. Bluemound Road Milwaukee, WI 53226 THR 312: Survey of American Musical Theatre (3 credits) FALL SEMESTER - 2002 MEETING TIME: M/W 9:30-11:00 ROOM: F205 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Nelson OFFICE #: FM08; OFFICE PHONE: OFFICE HOURS: M-TH 11:30-12:30, FR 10:00-11:00, or by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVES: The theatrical genre known as musical theatre is significant for a variety of reasons. First, it is the most popular form of theatre in the United States; second, it is one of few truly American art forms; third, it is arguably the most complex form of theatre, bringing together a number of elements to create the whole. This course examines the history of this important genre, from its antecedents through its Golden Age to present-day controversies. We will examine its elements and structure, as well as its creators, from librettists, composers and lyricists, to producers, directors and performers. The following are some of the primary overall objectives of this course: 1. To obtain a brief overview of American musical theatre, with an emphasis on key composers and shows that had the greatest influence on the genre. 2. To learn to critically analyze the components of a well-written musical. 3. To learn to differentiate between different genres of musical theatre and different types of songs. 4. To be able to identify songs from some of America’s greatest musicals along with their composers and lyricists. 5. To become familiar with some of the most well-known and/or prolific producers, directors, choreographers and performers. 6. To become more familiar with the life and works of a given composer, which will be shared via a course paper and oral presentation. 7. To attend two musical theatre productions (42nd Street & Chicago). COURSE METHODS AND MATERIALS There is no specific text for this show. Lecture, play attendance, handouts and audio and video excerpts from sample musicals will be used instead of one specific text. Students will be required to listen to and/or view various musicals discussed in class. There is a collection of Broadway CD’s as well as stage or film versions of various shows on video in the WLC library through which they can become acquainted with various musicals and songs.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. 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.

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.
