  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    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. 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.

Henrik Ibsen, with the exception of Shakespeare, is the most frequently produced playwright in the world. He is also universally known as "The Father of Modern Drama" and "The Father of Realistic Drama." For over a century and a half, Ibsen's plays have been renowned for displaying a fierce revolt by the individual against an oppressive middle-class society. Specifically, A Doll's House has been a trailblazer for women's liberation and feminist causes around the world. Portrait of Henrik Ibsen. Photograph by Gustav Borgen . Ibsen Timeline 1828 Born in Skien, a small town in Norway. 1843 At 15 he moves to another small town, Grimstad, and works as an apprentice in a pharmacy. 1851 He moves to Bergen and takes on the position of Artistic Director and Dramatist at the Bergen Theatre.

  • ROSALIND-The-Facts-T
    THE PLAY “AS YOU LIKE IT” THE WOMAN ROSALIND THE FACTS WRITTEN: The year of 1599 was an especially busy year for Williams Shakespeare who wrote four plays for the Globe stage – “Much Ado About Nothing”, “Henry V”, “Julius Caesar” and “As You Like It”. PUBLISHED: The play was first published in the famous First Folio of 1923 AGE: The Bard was 35 years old when he wrote the play. (Born 1564-Died 1616) CHRONO: “As You Like It” holds the 21st position in the canon of 39 plays immediately after “Julius Caesar” and before “Hamlet” in 1601 GENRE: The play is most often joined with “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” and “The Comedy of Errors” to comprise the trio of “Early Comedies”. SOURCE: Shakespeare’s principal source was a prose pastoral romance, “Rosalynd”, published in 1590 by the English poet Thomas Lodge and “improved upon beyond measure” (Bloom); the two key characters of Touchstone and Jaques were Shakespeare’s memorable creations. TIMELINE: The action of the play covers a brief number of weeks allowing for the “to-ing & fro-ing” of getting from the Palace to the Forest. FIRST PERFORMANCE: The play’s first performance is uncertain although a performance at Wilton House – an English country house outside of London and the seat of the Earl of Pembroke – has been suggested as a possibility. The play’s popularity must surely have found its place in frequent Globe seasons but no records seem to attest to that fact. Page 2 “PASTORALS”: “There is a unique bucolic bliss that is conventional in pastorals, for it is common for people trapped in the hurly-burly of the crowded haunts of men to imagine wrongly that there is some delight in a simple life that existed in the ‘good old days’.

The book is divided into two parts: A Primer on Playing Action for Actors “Context” and “Practice.” The Context section provides a thorough examination of the theory behind the core elements of Playing Action. The Practice section provides a step-by-step rehearsal guide for actors to integrate Playing Action into their By Hugh O’Gorman preparation process. Acting Is Action is a place to begin for actors: a foundation, a ground plan for how to get started and how to build the core of a performance. More precisely, it provides a practical guide for actors, directors, and teachers in the technique of Playing Action, and it addresses a niche void in the world of actor training by illuminating what exactly to do in the moment-to-moment act of the acting task.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
