E. R. BRAITHWAITE Thursday, February 23 We’re pleased to welcome a magnetic figure who, as a young man from the Third World who’d just completed a doctorate in physics from Cambridge, discovered to his consternation that the color of his skin prevented him from landing a job in his chosen field. Before long E. R. BRAITHWAITE found his true calling in an embattled school in east London, where he tamed a class- WNDC CLUBHOUSE room of unruly adolescents, refocused their energies, and prepared them for productive lives in a society that had largely dismissed them as 1526 New Hampshire Avenue unworthy of its attention. In 1959 he published TO SIR, WITH LOVE, a Washington moving account of his trial by fire. It quickly became a best-seller, and Cash-Bar Reception, 11:30 a.m. it provided film actor SIDNEY POITIER with one of his most poignant roles. Lunch, 12:30 p.m. Program, 1:00 The author of numerous other books, and a former ambassador to the LUNCH, $25 PROGRAM ONLY, $15 UNITED NATIONS, Dr. Braithwaite will talk, among other things, about a new stage adaptation of TO SIR, WITH LOVE for London’s West End. BARBARA ROMER Friday, March 10 You’ve no doubt read in The New York Times about a project to transform a decaying structure on Governor’s Island into a NEW GLOBE FOR THE NEW WORLD. This concept occurred to a young Princeton graduate when she noticed that Castle Williams, with its open courtyard, has the same dimensions as a storied playhouse that opened on the Bankside in 1599. Not one to dismiss an idle fantasy, BARBARA ROMER went to one of the world’s most renowned architects, NORMAN FOSTER, and persuaded him to design a catalytic performing-arts venue NATIONAL ARTS CLUB for the heart of New York Harbor. Meanwhile she lined up support from a cavalcade of impressive patrons, among them Shakespeare’s 15 Gramercy Park South Manhattan Globe in London, the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of the Empire State, and such dramatic Program, 7:30 p.m. artists as Sir Peter Hall, Al Pacino, and Susan Sarandon. Please join us MEMBERS, $25 OTHERS, $30 for details about what Bottom would rhapsodize as “a most rare vision.” Join the Guild, and Greet the Stars EVENTS IN LONDON, NEW Y0RK, AND WASHINGTON If you attended A SHAKESPEAREAN REVEL AT LINCOLN CENTER three Junes back, you relished such per- sonalities as actors JOHN CLEESE, KITTY CARLISLE HART, DANA IVEY, and TONY RANDALL, writer ADAM GOPNIK, and directors BARRY EDELSTEIN, BERNARD GERSTEN, and MARGOT HARLEY in a toast to KEVIN KLINE as the 2002 recipient of the SIR JOHN GIELGUD AWARD FOR EX- CELLENCE IN THE DRAMATIC ARTS. It proved to be a joyous occasion, but like its predecessors, and like its sequel a year later with LYNN REDGRAVE as GIELGUD laureate and with her brother CORIN and her sister VANESSA as present- ers at the NATIONAL ARTS CLUB, it was also substantive, with unforgettable remarks not only about the honoree’s achievements but about the heritage those accomplishments illustrate. In this respect it called to mind a May 1999 GIELGUD presentation at Broadway’s BARRYMORE THEATRE, where ZOE CALDWELL, who’d won the 1998 GOLDEN QUILL at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY, led an eminent parade of theatrical ce- lebrities – actors KEITH BAXTER, BRIAN BEDFORD, HAL HOLBROOK, RONALD PICKUP, CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, and TOBY STEPHENS, playwright Sir DAVID HARE, director Sir RICHARD EYRE, Masterpiece Theatre pro- ducer REBECCA EATON, and news host ROBERT MACNEIL – in a sparkling TRIBUTE TO “HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN,” Dame JUDI DENCH, who had just received an Academy Award as Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love and was en route to a Tony as Esmé in David Hare’s Amy’s View. A few months later Dame JUDI and another GIELGUD honoree, Sir DEREK JACOBI, were among the hosts for a January 2000 presentation of the trophy to performer, director, and filmmaker KENNETH BRANAGH in London’s historic MIDDLE TEMPLE HALL. This Bardic SALUTE TO “THE MAN OF THE MILLEN- NIUM” featured vignettes by U.S. Ambassador PHILIP LADER, composer PATRICK DOYLE, and actors SAMANTHA BOND, RICHARD BRIERS, HELENA BONHAM CARTER, RICHARD CLIFFORD, BEN ELTON, STEPHEN FRY, BOB HOSKINS, GERALDINE MCEWAN, and TIMOTHY SPALL. On April 19, 2004, in the London theatre that had been renamed for Sir John in 1994, a few months after THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD unveiled a gleaming JOHN SAFER trophy to perpetuate a great actor’s legacy “with golden quill” (Sonnet 85), the Guild joined hands with the ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY and the ROYAL ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ART for a gala celebration of the centenary of Sir John’s birth. In an evening that was hosted by BBC personality NED SHERRIN, playwrights ALAN BENNETT and Sir DAVID HARE, director Sir PETER HALL, and actors Dame JUDI DENCH, CLIVE FRANCIS, ROSEMARY HARRIS, MARTIN JARVIS, BARBARA JEFFORD, BARBARA LEIGH-HUNT, Sir IAN MCKELLEN, MICHAEL PENNINGTON, RONALD PICKUP, PAUL SCOFIELD, and Sir DONALD SINDEN commended their late-departed friend. In recent years, through events in locales such as the BRITISH EMBASSY and the NATIONAL PRESS CLUB in America’s capital, the CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER in Illinois, and the ALGONQUIN HOTEL and the NATIONAL ARTS CLUB in New York, Guild constituents have chatted with actors F. MURRAY ABRAHAM, JANE ALEXANDER, SIMON RUSSELL BEALE, RICHARD EASTON, HENRY GOODMAN, BILL IRWIN, MICHAEL LEARNED, ROGER REES, PATRICK STEWART, and MICHAEL YORK, directors BILL ALEXANDER, PETER BROOK, MICHAEL KAHN, and ROBERT WHITE- HEAD, media leaders COKIE ROBERTS, SUSAN STAMBERG, and LINDA WERTHEIMER, and writers Sir HAROLD EVANS, GEORGE GARRETT, ADAM GOPNIK, STEPHEN GREENBLATT, ANTHONY HECHT, KEN LUDWIG, JUDITH MARTIN, DEBORAH TANNEN, and GARRY WILLS.

(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

  • J Ohn F. a Ndrews
    J OHN F . A NDREWS OBE JOHN F. ANDREWS is an editor, educator, and cultural leader with wide experience as a writer, lecturer, consultant, and event producer. From 1974 to 1984 he enjoyed a decade as Director of Academic Programs at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY. In that capacity he redesigned and augmented the scope and appeal of SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY, supervised the Library’s book-publishing operation, and orchestrated a period of dynamic growth in the FOLGER INSTITUTE, a center for advanced studies in the Renaissance whose outreach he extended and whose consortium grew under his guidance from five co-sponsoring universities to twenty-two, with Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, Virginia, and Yale among the additions. During his time at the Folger, Mr. Andrews also raised more than four million dollars in grant funds and helped organize and promote the library’s multifaceted eight- city touring exhibition, SHAKESPEARE: THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD, which opened in San Francisco in October 1979 and proceeded to popular engagements in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Between 1979 and 1985 Mr. Andrews chaired America’s National Advisory Panel for THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the BBC/TIME-LIFE TELEVISION canon.

  • 2015 Christmas Concert Artist Announcement-Edited
    For Immediate Release Broadway Star Laura Osnes and Beloved British Actor Martin Jarvis Join Mormon Tabernacle Choir for Annual Christmas Concert Back by popular demand after charming audiences at this summer’s Pioneer Day concert, Broadway star Laura Osnes will join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square for their annual Christmas concerts on December 17, 18 and 19 in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Taking the stage with Osnes will be acclaimed British screen and voice actor Martin Jarvis. Under the direction of Mack Wilberg, music director of the Choir, and Ryan Murphy, associate music director, these powerhouse talents will ring in the holiday spirit for audiences young and old. But that’s not all. Osnes and Jarvis will be joined by four Metropolitan Opera soloists — Erin Morley, soprano; Tamara Mumford, mezzo-soprano; Ben Bliss, tenor; and Tyler Simpson, bass — adding a classical dimension to the musical repertoire. This is going to be an unforgettable concert,” said Ron Jarrett, president of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. “Where else can you find such a depth of talent in all performing disciplines all on one stage? We are truly blessed to have this fabulous ensemble of artists spend Christmas with us.” Today’s carefully guarded announcement was eagerly anticipated by thousands in the community who have attended the Christmas concerts for over a decade. The free performances are arguably the hottest tickets in town during the Christmas season, and this year will be no exception. “We are overwhelmed and humbled by the response of our audiences each year,” said music director Mack Wilberg.

  • Voice Training and the Royal National Theatre Rena Cook
    Spring 1999 165 Voice Training and the Royal National Theatre Rena Cook I stepped off the double-decker bus at Waterloo Station with my map in hand, walked several blocks and found the Old Vic quite easily. But the Royal National Theatre Studio, where the orientation was to take place, was nowhere in sight. "Next to the Old Vic," I had been told. With address and directions in my pocket, I surveyed the area as my internal compass spun out of control. After a brief moment of panic, I went to the box office and asked for help. "Out this door, two steps to your left and through the iron gate." I had traveled to London to participate in a course entitled "International Voice Intensive" with Patsy Rodenburg. As I walked up the steps of the studio on that chilly Sunday afternoon, with jet lag hanging heavily on my limbs, I had little idea that in my two weeks study I was about to experience a Zeitgeist of contemporary London theatre, training and practice. The focus was, of course, the voice work under the tutelage of master teacher Patsy Rodenburg, who currently heads the voice departments at the Royal National Theatre and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In addition, the course participants were exposed to and interacted with some of the finest artists working in Western theatre today, including Trevor Nunn, Richard Eyre, and Judi Dench. Following each exhaustive day of study, workshop, and discussion, we attended theatre, viewing five of the six productions currently in repertory at the National.
