WORKING: a Musical FEB Friends University presents the classic american musical WORKING: A Musical FEB. 4-7, 2021 From the book by STUDS TERKEL Adapted by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and NINA FASO With additional contributions by Gordon Greenberg Songs by CRAIG CARNELIA, MICKI GRANT, LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, MARY RODGERS & SUSAN BIRKENHEAD, STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and JAMES TAYLOR. WORKING From the book by STUDS TERKEL Adapted by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and NINA FASO Songs by CRAIG CARNELIA, MICKI GRANT, LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, MARY RODGERS & SUSAN BIRKENHEAD, STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and JAMES TAYLOR DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to Friends University's Department of Fine Art's virtual production of WORKING the musical! I am honored you have chosen to experience this fantastic show from the comfort of your home. I am Sheldon Mba, the program director of Friends University's new Music Theatre Program. I'm thrilled to be here in Wichita, KS. While only being here for a couple of months, I have found that this community has a rich reservoir of abundant talent, love and support involving the arts. I'm excited to be a part of this community and to help grow the program. I'm tremendously proud of how the students have persevered in these tumultuous times to put together a show that uplifts the essential workers who are on the frontlines right now. When you watch this show, I hope you begin to express immense gratitude towards the workers who are keeping our communities afloat during this challenging season of our lives. We want to communicate that their lives are not just stuck in what they do; that they're more than their job. We all have dreams and aspirations, and we should be supportive and encouraging of them. Looking at the characters in this show, light is shed on the person behind the job. We see that they do what they have to do to survive, protect and provide for their families. Or they are caught in the search for their life's purpose - providing a well-needed service to their community and the common man. This production acknowledges that some dreams go unrealized, some dreams are ignored, and some dreams are achieved. I hope that after seeing this show, you are inspired to go after your dreams with vigor and determination, regardless of how silly or insignificant it may seem. You have to find your niche, your spark, your purpose. That takes time, and life will throw a lot of obstacles and distractions your way. Never let go of your edge, or hunger for your dreams. Do not allow your personal circumstances to be why you don't give your dreams an honest shot. Continue to strive towards your destiny, because that's how you'll truly impact the world in the most effective of ways. To my cast and crew, thank you for your hard work. To my artistic team, thank you for your guidance. May all our voices be heard to make a symphony that will echo through the skies.

  • Jack Kerouac's on the Road & How That Influenced the Road Movie
    Sheldon 1 Matthew A. Sheldon Introduction to the Road Film Midterm Exam 12/15/12 Midterm Exam 1. One of the main films that focused it‟s themes on rebellious critique and conservative authority was Bonnie and Clyde. The film was less about historical accuracy and more a direct reflection of the late 1960‟s ideology with the rise of the Vietnam War, the assassination of President Kennedy and the horrific Charles Mansion murders. In David Laderman‟s essay he explains how the cultural roots of the road film seemed to step from three different genres which are the western, the gangster and the film noir which also are very similar to Jack Kerouac‟s 1955 novel On the Road. “All three of these genres predated On the Road, and Sal and Dean Affectionately invoke western and gangster films throughout. On the Road‟s basic themes and style also highlight the ideological contradiction between rebellion and tradition.” (3) Right in the opening shot of Bonnie and Clyde you can see a close-up of Bonnie Parker become bored and restless on her bed, wanting to escape the imprisonment of traditional lifestyle. When she catches Clyde trying to break into her mother‟s car, his dangerous character fascinates her and gives her an emotional sensual excitement of rebellion and risk that she never felt before. Clyde talks Bonnie into leaving with him not just because of the liberating crime life he is offering her but because he seems to be insightful in who she is as a person and what her Sheldon 2 needs and desires are.

The first period, what I term the "founding" period of the road movie genre, includes six films of the 1960s and 1970s: Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969), Francis Ford Coppola's The Rain People (1969), Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), Richard Sarafian's Vanishing Point (1971), and Joseph Strick's Road Movie (1974).

  • Scenic Design for the Musical Godspell
    Scenic design for the musical Godspell Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah Sugarbaker Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2009 Master’s Examination Committee: Professor Dan Gray, M.F.A. Advisor Professor Mandy Fox, M.F.A. Professor Kristine Kearney, M.F.A. Copyright by Sarah Sugarbaker 2009 Abstract In April of 2009 the Ohio State University Theatre Department produced Godspell, a musical originally conceived by John‐Michael Tebelak with music by Stephen Schwartz. This production was built and technically rehearsed in the Thurber Theatre, and then moved to the Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus, OH. As the scenic designer of this production I developed an environment in which the actors and director created their presentation of the text. Briefly, the director’s concept (Appendix A) for this production was to find a way to make the production relevant to the local population. Godspell centers around the creation and support of a community, so by choosing to reference the City Center Mall, an empty shopping center in downtown Columbus, the need for making a change as a community was emphasized. This environment consisted of three large walls that resembled an obscured version of the Columbus skyline, inspired by advertisements within the shopping center. Each wall had enlarged newspapers that could be seen under a paint treatment of vibrant colors. The headlines on these papers referenced articles that the local paper has written about the situation at the shopping center, therefore making the connection more clear.

  • A Lighting Design Process for a Production of Stephen Schwartz’S Working
    A LIGHTING DESIGN PROCESS FOR A PRODUCTION OF STEPHEN SCHWARTZ’S WORKING A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Dale McCarren, B.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Masters Examination Committee: Approved By Mary A. Tarantino, M.F.A., Advisor Daniel A.Gray, M.F.A. Advisor Graduate Program in Theatre Maureen Ryan, M.F.A. ABSTRACT Stephen Schwartz’s Working was produced at The Ohio State University Department of Theatre during the spring quarter of 2008. Included in this document is all of the documentation used for the implementation of the lighting design for this production. The need to work forces humans to interact with one another daily and requires us to deal with the added stressors that being in contact with other humans creates. This theme is central to the story of Working and is a major point of emphasis for our production of Working. Chris Roche in his Director’s Concept states, “The construction of Working at first glance seems isolated and solitary, so many different stories – but very little unifying factor. I believe the common thread is the workers themselves. Who do we meet on a daily basis, and how does each of those domino-like moments affect the greater whole of our lives?” In support of the director’s concept, the lighting design for Working aimed to create two separate lighting environments one of reality and the other of fantasy. The challenge was to then connect the separate environments into one seamless world where the line of reality and fantasy are blurred.

INTRODUCTION An excess-of-loss reinsurance treaty provides the primary insurance company (cedant) with reinsurance protection covering a certain layer of loss for a specified category of individual (direct) insurance policies. Hence, for each loss event (occur- rence) coming within the terms of the treaty, the reinsurer re- imburses the cedant for the dollars of loss in excess of a cer- tain fixed retention up to some maximum amount of liability per occurrence. For example, if the cedant's retention is $i00,000 and the reinsurer's limit of liability is $400,000, then the re- insurer covers losses in the layer $i00,000 up to $500,000; in reinsurance terminology, this is the layer $400,000 excess of $100,000.
