All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com We Recognize our corporate sponsors for their generosity in support of the arts and the Theatre Institute at Sage Welcome to the 11th Season of the Theatre Institute at Sage I am delighted to welcome you to the 2020-2021 season at the Theatre Institute at Sage. The Theatre Institute at Sage brings the Capital Region first class productions, serving thousands of primary and secondary school students as well as the general public. In addition to the productions in our two campus theatres, we bring theatre to the schools and offer classes and camps in acting for all ages. People across the professions are increasingly realizing how experimenting in theatre makes individuals more effective and responsive communicators and is good preparation for any career. It is also a lot of fun and engages aspects of creativity that often go untapped. When the lights go dark immediately before a production, I always think, “Anything can happen!” Live theatre offers an experience all-too-rare in our mass-produced society: a performance that is different each time, an artistic experience that is unique.

    28 28TH ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF NEW MUSICALS WELCOME 1 FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEATRE’S PRESIDENT WELCOME To our 28th ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF NEW MUSICALS! Where can 600 people immerse themselves for two days in the possibility and potential of musical theatre? Where can you travel from New England to Egypt to England (in two different centuries) in a single day? Where can the writers of eight new shows have the opportunity to showcase their work to their perfect target audience, an audience filled with people who can help them find their next best step forward? Only at NAMT’s annual Festival of New Musicals. The shows you’ll see were selected through a blind process by our amazingly hard-working Festival Committee, from a pool of nearly 200 new works. They were, of course, picked for their quality, but they were also selected because of the range of worlds, characters and themes they explore. They’ll make you laugh, perhaps gasp, probably rethink a long-held perspective…good musical theatre is wonderfully stealthy that way. You’ll leave New World Stages entertained, challenged, provoked. We’re delighted that you’re here to spend two days with us; we hope it’s the beginning of a much longer relationship between you and these exciting writers and their pieces. The Festival is just the starting point, the spark to ignite ongoing development. Our sponsors, donors and advertisers make this Festival possible, by supporting this important annual event and NAMT this week and throughout the year. Thank you! Many thanks again, as well, to the Festival Committee, the NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

  • Communicating in Song: the American Sung-Through Musical from in Trousers (1979) to Caroline, Or Change (2004)
    Communicating in Song: The American Sung-Through Musical from In Trousers (1979) to Caroline, or Change (2004) A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Alexandre Bádue BM, Federal University of Paraná, 2007 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2012 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT In the American musical theater, the book musical has always presented a conspicuous alternation of songs and spoken dialogue. The former interrupt the latter and provides additional means to depict the characters and the dramatic situations. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, however, a second subgenre of the musical came to prominence: the sung-through musical, in which the entire script—monologues, conversations, turning points—all occur in song, eschewing spoken dialogue and contrasting with the aesthetics of the book musical. This dissertation demonstrates that by avoiding spoken dialogue and increasing the amount of music, American sung-through musicals from 1979 until 2004 challenged the means of structuring musicals. This study investigates how creative teams of sung-through musicals have used songs alone to create, organize, and communicate dramaturgy, questioning the limits between singing and speaking in musical theater. This study comprises twelve sung-through musicals that were written and composed in the United States and originally produced in New York City’s Broadway or Off-Broadway circuits. It does not consider the British sung-through musicals that were successful on Broadway during the same time period.
