FROM THE ArtiStic/MANAGING DIRECTOR Welcome to ACT’s 2013 season. I’m pleased you’re here to join us for the summer musical. “Young Frankenstein” is a classic. Really? You may ask. Well, the Mel Brooks’ film is considered a cult classic. The stage version… not so much. Not yet. But we hope you have as much fun as the cast had putting it together for you. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Please take a minute to fill out the survey in your program. These Barb Evans, President surveys help us make better decisions about shows and marketing. Ann Rasmussen, Vice-president Like, what type of show will work best when, who our audiences Linda Bartholomew, Secretary are and how do we best reach them. Thank you for your help. It means a lot. Hand the Kathy Stuck, Treasurer completed survey to an usher now or on your way out of the theater. By now, each of you have experienced some of the new things at ACT. When Members at LarGE purchasing your ticket for this show, you used a new web-based ticketing system by Vendini. It allows for tickets sold to the general public, to be purchased online and Linda Batteen, Gregg Magera, printed at home. Unfortunately, that only applies to credit card sales at the moment. Dr. Curt Wischmeier ACT member coupons still need to be redeemed at the box office at Kathleen’s or by Rory King, Legal Counsel mail. By next season we hope to have the ability to redeem member coupons online as well. But don’t worry, the box office will always be open at Kathleen’s to help with STAFF your ticket purchases thanks to Kathy Stuck and all the wonderful ladies there. We James L. Walker, appreciate your patience as we have initiated this new online box office system.

We cannot keep ACT going without of Community Theatre each of you. [email protected] Improving Communities – JAMES L. WALKER One Theatre at a Time www.aact.org FROM THE DIRECTOR It was only natural after all the fun we had with Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” a few summers back that ACT would turn again to a new Mel Brooks’ musical. Back in 1974, and once again teamed up with Gene Wilder, Brooks and Wilder created a marvelous parody of all those black and white monster films from Universal Pictures from the 1930s. The resulting support is provided with funds from the State of South Dakota film was an enormous box office hit and has a prestigious spot on the through the Department of Tourism and State Development and American Film Institute’s 100 Funniest Comedies of all Time. (It’s no. 13, the National Endowment for the Arts Office of Arts • 800 Governors Drive • Pierre, SD 57501-2294 www.sdarts.org • 605-773-3131 • In State 800-423-6665 if you’re interested.) Fast forward to 2007. To follow up the enormous success of his first Broadway venture, Brooks turned to “Young Frankenstein,” again working with most of the same team that brought “The Producers” to life, and created another monster hit. For ACT’s production, you will see a lot of the same volunteers who brought our “Producers” to hilarious life in 2009. It’s a joyous reunion and also a chance to once again share with ACT audiences the wacky humor and incredible fun of Mel Brooks. So enjoy- it’s alive! – DANIEL YURGAITIS DONALD H.

    through FILMS 70 years of European History through films is a product in Erasmus+ project „70 years of European History 1945-2015”. It was prepared by the teachers and students involved in the project – from: Greece, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Turkey. It’ll be a teaching aid and the source of information about the recent European history. A DANGEROUS METHOD (2011) Director: David Cronenberg Writers: Christopher Hampton, Christopher Hampton Stars: Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen Country: UK | GE | Canada | CH Genres: Biography | Drama | Romance | Thriller Trailer In the early twentieth century, Zurich-based Carl Jung is a follower in the new theories of psychoanalysis of Vienna-based Sigmund Freud, who states that all psychological problems are rooted in sex. Jung uses those theories for the first time as part of his treatment of Sabina Spielrein, a young Russian woman bro- ught to his care. She is obviously troubled despite her assertions that she is not crazy. Jung is able to uncover the reasons for Sa- bina’s psychological problems, she who is an aspiring physician herself. In this latter role, Jung employs her to work in his own research, which often includes him and his wife Emma as test subjects. Jung is eventually able to meet Freud himself, they, ba- sed on their enthusiasm, who develop a friendship driven by the- ir lengthy philosophical discussions on psychoanalysis. Actions by Jung based on his discussions with another patient, a fellow psychoanalyst named Otto Gross, lead to fundamental chan- ges in Jung’s relationships with Freud, Sabina and Emma.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Orpheus: Cinematic (And Operatic) Evocations
    Orpheus: Cinematic (and Operatic) Evocations A number of cinematic productions have featured ancient pagan concepts of death and the afterlife, e.g. The Mummy (1932); Gladiator (2000). Within this sub-corpus, those involving Orpheus have a particular signature that began developing in the Renaissance. Poliziano’s Fabula di Orfeo (c. 1480) synthesized the Vergilian and Ovidian accounts into a pastoral drama. (Segal, 1989) Two early seventeenth century operas, the Rinuccini/Peri Euridice (1600) and the Striggio/Monteverdi L’Orfeo (1607), accommodated Baroque court patronage by refitting the tragic story with a deus ex machina-engendered happy ending. In a political denouement, the Parisian Buti/Rossi Orfeo (1647) pleased the French court by comparing Orpheus’ lyre to the royal fleur-de-lis. Considered together with the popular Halévy/Offenbach operetta, Orphée aux enfers (1858), which features an unhappily married Orpheus and Eurydice, the cumulative effect of such high-profile dramatized adaptations of the Orpheus myth was to transform its original tragic outcome and expand its dramaturgical potential with updated artistic, philosophical, and political themes. The early decades of the twentieth century contributed a dense cluster of equally innovative Orpheus operatic productions leading to Jean Cocteau‘s one-act tragédie, Orphée (1926), revised in 1950 as the first film featuring Orpheus. In his 1973 essay Du Cinématographe, Cocteau revealed his artistic reason for selecting Orpheus as his protagonist: (Cocteau, 1992) Nobody can believe in a famous poet whose name has been invented by a writer. I had to find a mythical bard, the bard of bards, the Bard of Thrace. And his story is so enchanting that it would be crazy to look for another.

The great dream was that wherever humanity settled, fragment by fragment by fragment, however it lived, it would continue rather than begin again, so that all through the universe and the years, humans would be humans, speaking as humans, thinking as humans, aspiring and progressing as humans; and whenever human met human, no matter how different, how distant, he would come in peace, meet his own kind, speak his own tongue. Humans, however, being humans-- Bril emerged near the pink star, disliking its light, and found the fourth planet. It hung waiting for him like an exotic fruit. (And was it ripe, and could he ripen it? And what if it were poison?) He left his machine in orbit and descended in a bubble. A young savage watched him come and waited by a waterfall. "Earth was my mother," said Bril from the bubble. It was the formal greeting of all humankind, spoken in the Old Tongue. "And my father," said the savage, in an atrocious accent.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
