The talented casts that will perform in this show over the next two weekends include some DST “regulars” - familiar faces that you have seen here before - as well as actors who are brand new to the DST stage. Thank you to co- directors Mark and Lynzee 4man who were the natural choices to co- direct (and music direct and choreograph) a rock musical that represents our first teen/young adult production in more than a year. They have worked tirelessly with an extremely skilled team of actors, designers, and crew members to bring you this beautiful show, and everyone involved has enjoyed the process very much. We continue our COVID-19 safety protocols and enhanced cleaning measures to keep you and our actors safe. In return, we ask that you kindly wear your mask the entire time you are in the theatre, and stay in your assigned seat. If you wish to meet with your friends or cast members after the show, please arrange to do so in the food court area of the shopping mall. We’re still social-distancing at Desert Stages. Safety First! Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Thank you again for your support of live theatre and for your attendance at this performance of TICK, TICK...BOOM! Whether you are seeing your 100th show or your first at DST, you are a valued member of the Desert Stages Theatre community, and we appreciate you more than you could ever know! Ellen Versen Executive Director DIRECTOR'S LETTER TICK, TICK...BOOM! originally began life as an autobiographical rock monologue performed by Jonathan Larson and was formerly called “Boho Days.” During the time of writing the piece in 1990, Jonathan was turning 30 and was working at the Moondance Diner whilst trying to establish himself as a writer in New York. In 2001 the rock monologue was adapted into a three-actor musical by David Auburn which premiered at the Jane Street Theatre. Jonathan started out as an actor, though he had a great passion for music. His decision to change paths came after meeting his hero, Stephen Sondheim, who told him there were a lot more starving actors out there than starving composers. Sondheim later became Jonathan's mentor and is mentioned a number of times in Tick, Tick...BOOM! (though Jon dare not speak his name...) The show's song "Sunday" is a humorous homage to Sunday in the Park with George. There are many other Sondheim references in the song "Why," including a tritone made famous by West Side Story. I wonder how many references you can find? Music was important to Jonathan from an early age. As a child, he was taken to see a children's version of Puccini's opera La Bohème. From that seed, an idea would slowly germinate over twenty years and grow into the Broadway sensation RENT. On January 25 1996, the day of the last dress rehearsal for RENT, Larson died from a foot-long tear in his aorta. Later in 1996, his sister accepted the Pulitzer Prize on his behalf. RENT became a Broadway sensation and attracted fans around the United States and the world. Though nothing would bring Larson back to life, death could not silence the effect of his work. To all of you aspiring young composers and dreamers out there, what if Jonathan had not followed his dreams? We never would have gotten RENT, Superbia or TICK, TICK...BOOM! NEVER give up on yourself and always follow your dreams! We have had simply the BEST time working with these six talented young people. They have poured their hearts and souls into this show, and we are so excited to share this beautiful piece with you.

  • Jonathan Larson

    Famous New Yorker Jonathan Larson As a playwright, Jonathan Larson could not have written a more dramatic climax than the real, tragic climax of his own story, one of the greatest success stories in modern American theater history. Larson was born in White Plains, Westchester County, on February 4, 1960. He sang in his school choir, played tuba in the band, and was a lead actor in his high school theater company. With a scholarship to Adelphi University, he learned musical composition. After earning a Fine Arts degree, Larson had to wait tables, like many a struggling artist, to pay his share of the rent in a poor New York City apartment while honing his craft. In the 1980s and 1990s, Larson worked in nearly every entertainment medium possible. He won early recognition for co-writing the award-winning cabaret show Saved!, but his rock opera Superbia, inspired by The original Broadway Rent poster George Orwell’s novel 1984, was never fully staged in Larson’s lifetime. Scaling down his ambitions, he performed a one-man show called tick, tick … BOOM! in small “Off -Broadway” theaters. In between major projects, Larson composed music for children’s TV shows, videotapes and storybook cassette tapes. In 1989, playwright Billy Aronson invited Larson to compose the music for a rock opera inspired by La Bohème, a classical opera about hard-living struggling artists in 19th century Paris. Aronson wanted to tell a similar story in modern New York City. His idea literally struck Larson close to home. Drawing on his experiences as a struggling musician, as well as many friends’ struggles with the AIDS virus, Larson wanted to do all the writing himself.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

    ENSEMBLE ACTING: Blocking and Character Development STEP 1

    ENSEMBLE ACTING: Blocking and Character Development STEP 1: SCRIPT SELECTION 1. Select scripts that portray three-dimensional characters - “Scenes written to be scenes” often have characters that can feel like cardboard - Try editing a scene from a full-length play for well-rounded characterizations - Most importantly, the characters must change and grow throughout the scene 2. Select scenes that have emotional range - Too much tragedy for 15 minutes can feel tedious – give the audience a break - The most successful scenes will infuse a combination of comedy and drama - If you can make the audience laugh and cry in the same scene, you are golden - Every good scene is like a roller coaster – keep the audience on the roller coaster for 15 minutes 3. Find scenes that match the skill set of your potential actors - Get to know your potential speech team members and find their strengths - It is important to give actors opportunities to show range, but you also want to set them up to be successful - 90% of directing is casting SCRIPT RESOURCES Samuel French www.samuelfrench.com BEST Dramatists Play Service www.dramatists.com Playscripts, Inc. www.playscripts.com Dramatic Publishing www.dramaticpublishing.com Brooklyn Publishers www.brookpub.com Pioneer Drama www.pioneerdrama.com DUBUQUE SENIOR ENSEMBLE ACTING SELECTIONS (2004-Present) ‘Night Mother* Marsha Norman Full Length Play Dramatists A Midsummer Night’s Dream* William Shakespeare Full Length Play Public Domain Battle of Bull Run Always Makes Me Cry* Carole Real Scene David Friedlander

    Review Essay: Lullaby for Broadway?

    Review Essay: Lullaby for Broadway? Grant, Mark N. 2004. The Rise and Fall of the Broadway Musical. Boston: Northeastern University Press. Knapp, Raymond. 2005. The American Musical and the Formation of National Identity. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Swayne, Steve. 2005. How Sondheim Found His Sound. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press. Reviewed by Walter Frisch I. Latecomers to high culture, Americans are obsessed with identifying and canonizing indigenous art forms. In recent years, much of this attention has been lavished on jazz. Musical theater is beginning to catch up, to judge from the recent rash of companions, readers, and reference works.! As Stephen Banfield, a dean among scholars of the American musical, observed in a 2004 review essay, "So many academic books and articles have by now lamented 'that the musical has been neglected by academics as an area of study' that it has to be patently untrue" (2004:83).2 One challenge in the study of both jazz and musical theater is locating the specific historical moment or the precise works in which the genres assume an identity, especially an ''American'' one, distinct from their influences. For musical theater, those sources would include European operetta of the later nineteenth century-specifically the works of Johann Strauss, Offenbach, and Gilbert and Sullivan-as well as vaudeville, burlesque, revue, minstrel shows, variety shows, melodrama, and British musical comedy. In the first few years of the twentieth century, these traditions coalesced in the works of Victor Herbert (notably his Babes in Toyland, 1903) and George M. Cohan (his first big hit, Little Johnny Jones, 1904).
  • How to Select a Monologue

    How to Select a Monologue

    HOW TO SELECT A MONOLOGUE AMDA’s student population is diverse and, as an institution, AMDA subscribes to the philosophy that it is not necessary for performers to consider their own ethnicity, skin color, body shape, sexual preference, or gender in choosing material for our placement and scholarship auditions. Choose characters close to you in age (i.e. 1-2 years younger to 5 years older). It is very important to read the play from which your monologue is taken and to know the full name of the playwright. Be prepared to answer questions the adjudicator may have about the play, the scene, or the character. While monologue collections and internet sites may be useful, they cannot substitute for a full comprehension of the play and the character’s emotional arc within it. Be sure to look up—in the play, online or in a dictionary—any vocabulary, pronunciations or references in the monologue with which you are not familiar. AVOID SELECT • Material that you do not fully • Age-appropriate material, understand emotionally or choosing monologues with intellectually characters that you could portray • Overt sexual references today or five years from now • Excessive profanity • Pieces that contrast in style, • Portraying victims or period or tone (i.e. comedy perpetrators of violence, vs. drama, classical vs. addiction, or abuse contemporary or contrasting • Monologues from films characters) • Material from the internet that is • Material sourced from published not sourced from a published play plays • Monologues for which you feel a personal connection NOTE: Your personal favorites may not be the material that best serves you.

Kevin’s seemingly perfect world hits troubled waters in this "wickedly funny" play (Variety) when his ne’er-do-well sister, Donna and her teenage daughter show up unexpectedly at the Sag Harbor home he shares with his husband, Ted. This sharp and timely comedy sails through the riptides of family and the unpredictability of the lives we lead. Starring at Ted is former NCTC Conservatory Director, Andrew Nance, last seen at NCTC in an acclaimed performance in Del Shores’ Yellow, last season. Harbor runs January 23 – March 1, 2015 in NCTC’s intimate Walker Theater. Opening Night is Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 8pm. Tickets are $25 - $45 and available at nctcsf.org or by calling (415) 861-8972. Harbor premiered at Westport Playhouse, followed by a New York production at Primary Stages. Variety raves Harbor is “witty and tender” and adds, “The characters in Chad Beguelin’s comedy-drama are hopelessly – and sometimes hysterically – adrift as they seek safe havens in relationships, family, and career.
