  • Chicago's Goodman Theatres the Transition from a Division of the Art Institute of Chicago to an Independent Regional Theatre
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Catalogue of Photographs of Performers at the Embassy Theatre
    Catalogue of Photographs of Performers and Shows in the Archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation The archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation hold more than 3000 artifacts, including more than 600 photographs of vaudevillians inscribed to Bud Berger (long-time stage man- ager at the Embassy Theatre, known as the Emboyd until 1952); more than 300 posters, playbills, programs, stools, and even guitars signed by the stars and casts of shows that have played at the Embassy Theatre over the past forty years, rang- ing from classic and current Broadway shows to acrobatic groups, choral ensembles, dance shows, ballet, stand-up comedians, rock bands, country singers, travel films, silent films, theatre organists, and so on; and hundreds of publicity photographs of performers, shows, and events at the theatre, primarily from the period following the establishment of the Embassy Theatre Foundation and its rescue of the theatre from the wrecking ball in 1975; and a nearly complete run of the journal of the American Theatre Organ Society. The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew. The publicity photographs are primarily of individ- ual performers, but a few shows are presented as well, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Barnum, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Cabaret, California Suite, Cats, A Christ- mas Carol, Dancin’, Evita, Gypsy, I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Same Time Next Year, Side by Side by Sondheim, and Ziegfeld: A Night at the Follies.

  • Love Letters at the Wallis Directed by Gregory Mosher 16 Performances Only! Oct 13 to 25, 2015
    NEWS RELEASE Legendary Hollywood Stars ALI MACGRAW & RYAN O’NEAL Star in A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters At The Wallis Directed by Gregory Mosher 16 performances only! Oct 13 to 25, 2015 Beverly Hills, CA – (Sep 11, 2015) – They made history 45 years ago when they starred in Love Story, the most talked about film of its day--Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal now reunite for Love Letters, a special theatrical tour that will make its official tour launch at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Love Letters by celebrated American playwright A.R. Gurney is an enduring romance about first loves and second chances. It will perform Tuesay, Oct 13 through Sunday, Oct 25, (press opening Oct. 14), onstage at the Bram Goldsmith Theater at The Wallis. Love Letters is directed by two time Tony-winning director Gregory Mosher. Critical praise for Love Letters began in July during the U.S. tour’s preview Florida engagement. “The forever-linked co-stars of the 1970 movie Love Story are delivering something more than Gurney’s 1988 play: long-ago cinematic love and loss, nostalgia, the easy warmth of long-time friends,” said the Miami Herald. “In between, O’Neal and MacGraw bring Gurney’s rich characters to life in heartbreak and tears (and with lots of audible gasps from the audience). Certain truths about the heart don’t change. And neither do the chemistry and charisma of the Love Story/Love Letters stars.” About Love Letters Love Letters is the story of Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (O’Neal) and Melissa Gardner (MacGraw), two young people from similar backgrounds who take very different paths in life.

    When Catherine falls in love with one the theatre of the two illegal immigrants that they put up—cousins from the Old Coun- try—Eddie’s only way to keep her from devil in the flesh getting married is to report the cousins to the Immigration Bureau. By drop- Arthur Miller and Noël Coward on acting out. ping the dime, Eddie betrays his wife, his niece, his relatives, himself, and, by BY John LAHR extension, his entire tribe. The story’s symmetry is elemental and terrifying; it hurtles to its conclusion, propelled by Schreiber’s uncanny, incandescent performance. Saturnine and strapping, Eddie en- ters in a cloth cap and an overcoat as rumpled as the world he inhabits. He is driven by feelings that he can neither fathom nor control, and which he hides beneath a show of paternal concern. “Listen, you been givin’ me the willies the way you walk down the street, I mean it,” he tells his curvaceous niece, taking in her hourglass figure from the comfort of his easy chair. “Catherine, I don’t want to be a pest, but I’m tellin’ you you’re walkin’ wavy.” Of the many gifts that Schreiber brings to the role— a swift mind, a pitch-perfect ear for the sludge of the demotic, a reservoir of re- strained aggression, an ability to lis- ten—the most important, it seems to me, is a sense of his own unresolved na- ture, an inchoate longing that makes him a perfect emotional fit for Eddie. There’s a loneliness and an agitation in Schreiber that are at odds with his tech- nical command; this combination of fragility and force makes him seem both mysterious and dangerous, and there- fore compelling to watch.
