Despite Steven Spielberg's early reputation as a "pop- corn" director of "kidult" movies and his more recent incarnation as a "serious" filmmaker and liberal "FOB" (Friend of Bill [Clinton]), his oeuvre stands as one of the chief cinematic purveyors of American ex- ceptionalism and triumphalism in contemporary filmdom.

Three of these young people are descendants or relatives of SMA alumni. All were outstanding high-school students who also participated in athletics and other extracurricular activities. Through their character, each showed a clear understanding and application of the ideals of truth, duty, and honor. They are: Thomas Westbrook from Lancaster, PA; Laurel Bennett from West Point, NY; Jacob How- ard from Weston, FL; and Lauren Childres from Biloxi, MS. Thomas A. Westbrook: I am from Lancaster, PA, and graduated from Lancaster Country Day School at the top of my class. In the fall, I will be attending Washington University in St. Louis as a prospective mathematics and French major. Academics are a big focus of mine, but my passions include theatre, ten- nis, and community service. Playing varsity tennis shaped my character and honed my sense of discipline and honor through sportsmanship. In my summers, I work as a counselor for a Head Start-type program serv- ing underprivileged children. My experiences with these kids helped strengthen my belief in SMA’s ideals of truth, duty, and honor. I am proud to be a representative for the values of Staunton Military Academy, as my grandfather, Donald L. Westbrook, and great-uncle, Mark L. Westbrook, are graduates of the classes of 1969 and 1970, re- spectively. That their legacy and their experiences at SMA can live on through my scholarship is humbling and gratifying.

  • ABSTRACT the Ideal World of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano De
    ABSTRACT The Ideal World of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac: A Director’s Approach Traci Elizabeth Ledford, M.F.A. Thesis Chairperson: Marion D. Castleberry, Ph.D. Edmond Rostand wrote Cyrano de Bergerac during a time when realism was beginning to assert its dominance over French theatre. Rostand’s masterpiece, with its neo-Romantic attributes, is often perceived as a reaction against the new theatrical movement as well as a celebration of France’s history. The play’s enduring popularity can be attributed to its emphasis on the ideal exemplified in the dynamic and heroic title character. This director’s approach to Cyrano de Bergerac examines the history behind the play including the playwright’s life, work, sources for the play, and its importance in fin- de-siècle France. A thorough analysis of the script and genre helps to initiate dialogues with designers about directorial concepts and helps to guide actors through a production style that supports the text. This study also includes the artistic challenges, concepts, and decisions that shaped choices for the play before concluding with a critical examination of the final product.
