Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER October 12, 2006, 8:00 p.m. on PBS Lincoln Center's American Songbook presents Audra McDonald & Friends "A supremely gifted lyric soprano and actress." Those are the words of Stephen Holden writing in The New York Times about "Build a Bridge," the latest CD recording by Audra McDonald. At New York's Lincoln Center one of the most admired offerings is the series called "The American Songbook." On Thursday, October 12 Audra McDonald and The American Songbook will come together on the stage of the Allen Room at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall for an evening called "Audra McDonald and Friends." Front and center will be songs by American singers/songwriters. The cameras and microphones of Live From Lincoln Center will be on hand to bring the event directly into your homes. This may be a good time to emphasize the word "live" in our title: I have occasionally been asked when the programs of Live From Lincoln Center are taped. Except for last May's program, which consisted of a kaleidoscopic survey of highlights from our thirty seasons of programs, Live From Lincoln Center is absolutely LIVE at the moment of transmission (though some stations along the PBS Network chose to schedule the programs on a tape-delayed basis). Audra McDonald, raised in Fresno, California was born into a musical family. As a youngster she appeared in many local and regional theatrical productions, perhaps most notably as Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha." Coming to New York she enrolled at Lincoln Center's Juilliard School, and even as an undergraduate she won her first major role on Broadway as a replacement Ayah in "Secret Garden." The year after her 1993 graduation from Juilliard she was cast as Carrie Pepperidge in Nicholas Hytner's production of "Carousel." Never before had an African-American woman played the role, and her performance won for her her first Tony Award.

    For 200 million years the Dinosaurs ruled the earth Now, they’re back to roam the arenas of America in an extraordinary new theatrical production WALKING WITH DINOSAURS The Live Experience Based on the award-winning BBC Television Series WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience comes to North America on a two-year tour September 30, 2007 --- Dinosaurs return to the earth in a live theatrical arena show, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience , based on the award-winning BBC Television Series. After playing for ten sold-out weeks in five cities in Australia, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is now on tour in North America for two years. 350,000 Americans have already seen the production since it opened in July 2007. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS – The Live Experience is brought to North America by Immersion Edutainment , headed by Bruce Mactaggart. Mactaggart said, “The BBC Series was a brilliant blend of special effects, escapism, excitement and information. Our show has that -- and it’s live. In this show, fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs mesmerize the audience – and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked on earth.” Mactaggart continued, “This is a show that could only fit in arenas – as the creatures are so absolutely immense in size. Audiences seated in the lower seats are all but overwhelmed by the dinosaurs, while those seated in higher seats can view the entire spectacle and panorama of the production. It is the closest you’ll ever get to experiencing what it was like when they walked and ruled the earth.” For more information, please visit www.dinosaurlive.com .

  • MASTER & STUDENT: (Left to Right) Sierra Boggess & Tyne Daly In
    MASTER & STUDENT: (left to right) Sierra Boggess & Tyne Daly in revival of Master Class on Broadway. Photo: Joan Marcus Theater Review Master Class: Tyne Daly's gutsy take on Maria Callas MASTER CLASS Book by Terrence McNally Directed by Stephen Wadsworth Through August 21, 2011 Manhattan Theatre Club at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre 261 West 47th Street, (212-239-6200) www.ManhattanTheatreClub.com By David NouNou Revivals are a great way of re-examining a theatrical piece and its durability, especially if the work is an award-winning play. I must admit that I am a sucker for revisiting seldom-revived plays, and Terrence McNally’s Master Class is no exception. It was the 1996 Tony-winning drama for Best Play, Best Actress, Zoe Caldwell, and Best Featured Actress, Audra McDonald. I know back then I was really rooting for it to win Best Play, and there was no contest in the Best Actress category. No one had a chance running against the legendary Ms. Caldwell, La Divina of the theatrical world. Seeing what Master Class was up against that year, I can understand the victory in 1996. (The other Best Play nominees were weak and, in some cases, big, pretentious bores). However, if it would have opened earlier this year, and qualified for the 2011 Tonys, other than Tyne Daly as Maria Callas for Best Actress, what else would it have been up for? This is not to say that Master Class is not still enjoyable, entertaining, and enthralling. In this version, it seems less of a play and more of an extended monologue.

  • Anti-Theatrical Ideology in American Method Acting Michael L. Quinn
    Fall 1995 5 Self-Reliance and Ritual Renewal: Anti-theatrical Ideology in American Method Acting Michael L. Quinn American Method acting is not only a realistic artistic technique but also an ideological formation. Almost every account of the adaptation of the Stanislavsky system by the Group Theater generation describes the new "Method" as distinctively American, yet this nationalist aspect of the project has rarely been examined from a historical standpoint that relates it to the dominant forces of American artistic culture; either the Method's arguments for its objectivity have been accepted as scientfically progressive, or its roots are traced to progressive European models (Ashby 1). On the contrary, the Method represents perhaps the most successful merging of a theoretcially conceived theatrical technique with the intellectual traditions that shape the history of American artistic culture. Most critics of the Method in America have produced explanations of the Method's dominance by taking issue either with its artistic claims for superiority or with its satisfied closure into a repressively conceived realism—both arguments that could be carried out solely on the basis of Stanislavsky's work, rather than considering that of his American epigones (Marowitz; Dolan 84-86). I view the emergence of the Method as the productive juncture of a theatrical practice and a revolutionary ideology, an imaginative intersection of innovation and energy that resulted in a remarkable body of work before its force subsided in the face of subsequent, similar cultural transformations; though American debates about the finer points of its technique still continue, the intellectual vitality of the Method revolution has been in a steady decline for about three decades (Schechner).
