Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change.

The improv comedy event is being hosted virtually on Thursday March 25th and tackles sensitive topics related to Indigenous workplace inclusion. It features Tonto’s Nephews, an all-Indigenous troupe of professional actors, writers, and comedians. “Given the current health pandemic and the excessive number of virtual meetings people are facing, AETS wanted to continue delivering workplace education programs while using innovative and upbeat approaches. This employer focused workshop offers an engaging and artistic approach to addressing important Indigenous Workplace Inclusion issues through the voices and hearts of Indigenous comedians,” say John DeGiacomo, Executive Director of AETS. The event will explore where organizations fall on the Indigenous Inclusion Continuum. This enterprise-wide Workplace Inclusion System, designed by Indigenous Works, helps organizations to climb the seven-stage continuum, by diagnosing what organizational competencies are needed to achieve increased engagement and relationships with Indigenous Peoples, businesses and organizations. Indigenous sketch comedy troupe, Tonto’s Nephews, will bring each stage to life live through performances, as they interpret the program and its principals. “In some Indigenous teachings, humour is considered a medicine; a medicine that and can help us be more open, vulnerable and transparent to deal with difficult issues and subjects.

Funny Walking: The Rise, Fall and Rise of the Anglo-American Comic Eccentric Dancer Abstract This article considers the (seemingly) lost art of comic eccentric dance. As a form of popular entertainment, comic eccentric dancing is generally assumed to be an early to mid-twenti- eth century phenomenon that emerged in the UK from the late Victorian Music Hall period and remained unchanged throughout the Variety period, only to disappear in the era of new mass media’s lack of appetite for ‘turns’ and speciality acts. However, is comic eccentric dance really a lost performance form? Can incarnations of the form really be considered as obsolete and archaic as such routines as, say, mesmerism, blackface or budgerigar acts? This article will attempt to reposition comic eccentric dance as a metamorphic form that still, surprisingly, exists, and is to be found with reasonable ubiquity, in renewed incarna- tions within twenty first century media.

In January 2011, the scheduling plans of Britain’s biggest TV station, BBC 1, were leaked to the press. After the recent success of BBC comedies such as Outnumbered and My Family, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen apparently told his team of producers that BBC Comedy was becoming ‘too middle class’, and failing in its responsibility to appeal to working class viewers (Gammell, 2011; Revoir, 2011; Leith, 2011).

The Hypermodern Anti-Comedy of Tim and Eric, Eric André and Million Dollar Extreme
“The Dada of Haha”: The Hypermodern Anti-Comedy of Tim and Eric, Eric André and Million Dollar Extreme Alexandra Warrick The Department of Film Studies, Columbia University Professor Richard Pena February 1st, 2016 1 SMASHING THE LIVING ROOM: AN INTRODUCTION Potted plants, a couch. A desk, a chair. Brown curtains, columns, a tabletop globe. Picture a comedy talk show set outfitted with these staples: homey, right? Comforting? It might, for you, invoke a living room; after all, as Michael Shapiro writes, “the family-like living room of the talk-show set…functions as a theatrical stage to forge intimate connections with the friends and family of the nation.” (Shapiro 32) Think, for a moment, on the worn-in “living rooms” offered by our nation’s most beloved comedy programs: the quirky clutter of Seinfeld, the stylized skyline of the Tonight Show, the comforting glow of Saturday Night Live’s faux-Grand Central spread. We know these spaces perhaps better than we do our own living rooms; the latter mutable, the former dependable. We come upon these shared “living rooms” and we, Pavlov’s audience, know that it’s time to laugh. Comedy becomes a warm, bubbling cordial that brings us, the Shapiro-style nation-as-family, together; in indulging in our shared national sense of humor, we as a culture bond together as we settle into the cozy cosmic couch these comedy programs offer us. With this in mind, once again picture the comedy talk show set. Now picture a man bursting from the wings to violently, viciously kick it to pieces.
