  • The History of Star Trek
    The History of Star Trek The original Star Trek was the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), a US TV producer and scriptwriter. His idea was to make a TV series that combined the futuristic possibilities of science fiction with the drama and excitement of TV westerns (his original title for the series was ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’). Star Trek was first aired on American TV in 1966, and ran for three series. Each episode was a self-contained adventure/mystery, but they were all linked together by the premise of a gigantic spaceship, crewed by a diverse range of people, travelling about the galaxy on a five-year mission ‘to explore new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’. Although not especially successful it attracted a loyal fan-base, partly male fans that liked the technological and special effects elements of the show. But the show also attracted a large number of female fans, many of whom were drawn to the complex interaction and dynamic between the three main characters, the charismatic but impetuous Captain Kirk (William Shatner), the crotchety old doctor McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the coldly logical Vulcan science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). After the show was cancelled in 1969 the fans conducted a lengthy and ultimately successful campaign to resurrect the franchise. Roddenberry enjoyed success with several motion pictures, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); action-thriller Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982); Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and the more comic Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).

    A^ü. i REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTORS, BLACK THEATRE PRODUCTIONS, AND PRACTICES AT HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES 1968-1978 Alex C. Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1980 Approved by Doctoral Committee: Graduate College„Representative il ABSTRACT This investigation described the status of Black Theatre productions and practices at four year historically Black Colleges and Universities with degree programs in Speech and Drama, Speech and Theatre, or Communi­ cations. The objectives of this study were: (1) to profile the directors and their production philosophies and practices; (2) to chronicle and categorize Black plays produced during 1968-1978; (3) to characterize the practices in theatre management and (4) to describe trends, and chart some implications from the data collected. Primary data for this study was obtained from mailed questionnaires and thirty-two audio recorded interviews with theatre practitioners at the 43rd National Association of Dramatic and Speech Arts (NADSA) Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on April 4-7, 1979. Thirty-six questionnaires were mailed and thirty (83%) were returned; twenty-four (66%) were usable for this investigation. Results of the study revealed that the directors were academically trained, experienced, of varying ages, Black, male dominated, and dedicated The absence of women as theatre directors suggested areas for study to clarify the reasons for this situation. Respondents believed that productions should be primarily enter­ taining which suggested their having traditional responses to the function of art that has been assailed by the proponents of the Black Arts Movement who call for art as a political influence.

  • Fy 95 Wdet-Fm Annual Report
    Submitted by: Jack Barthwell, Vice President • University Relations • FY 95 WDET-FM ANNUAL REPORT • BUDGET & FINANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA June 5, 1996 -------- - ---------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION In fiscal year 1995 public broadcasting faced elimination of federal funding. • System wide, tax-based subsidies made up anywhere from 10 percent-43 percent of public radio stations' annual operating budgets 1• While stations were required to affirm in writing to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that no federal funds were being used for "lobbying" purposes, a concerted effort ensued to make public broadcasting listeners and viewers aware of the debate on Capitol Hill concerning federal funding. Congressional representatives received substantial constituent contact supporting public broadcasting, surpassing even that of health care reform, Medicare cuts and other volatile issues. Stations, WDET-FM included, faced a dilemma--how to maintain appealing, high­ quality programming which would (in time) attract increased private sector support while dealing with diminished resources in the short term? Rapid down-sizing which reduced programming quality would serve as a disincentive to audience growth and increased donations; responding too slowly to the funding losses would bankrupt stations. WDET addressed the dilemma using the QUEST model for Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). The station's spending plan was reduced and budget authority reallocated to commission a scientific study to research the "Key • Expectations" of WDET's customers and stakeholders. Wayne State University's Center for Urban Studies offered the best proposal (over three other market research firms) to conduct the study. WDET also contracted for the services of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) marketing expert Paula Sulinski (Third Street Marketing, Inc.).

  • Othello by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Directed by Michael Kahn Featuring Avery Brooks and Patrick Page
    For Immediate Release: Press Contact: Liza Holtmeier August 1, 2005 202.608.6302 [email protected] SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY’S 2005-2006 SEASON OPENS WITH Othello BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Directed by Michael Kahn Featuring Avery Brooks and Patrick Page WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Shakespeare Theatre Company opens its 2005-2006 season with Artistic Director Michael Kahn directing a production of Othello from August 30 to October 30, 2005. With poetry rivaling King Lear and with the psychological depth of Hamlet, Shakespeare’s Othello is a highly charged tale of jealousy, prejudice, revenge and the destruction of innocence. For the production, Kahn directs a cast that includes Avery Brooks as Othello, Patrick Page as Iago, Colleen Delany as Desdemona, Lise Bruneau as Emilia and Company Member David Sabin as Brabantio. Media partner The Washingtonian magazine provides promotional support throughout the run. Passed over for the position of Othello’s lieutenant, Iago begins to plot his revenge against the Moor. Believing his wife, Emilia, has been unfaithful with Othello, Iago plans to poison Othello’s marriage with jealousy. As Iago’s lies begin to take hold, Othello questions more and more the fidelity of his new bride, eventually destroying his once-happy marriage. “Othello is extraordinary in its psychological complexities, and I think it is a reduction of the play to say it is simply a study of jealousy,” says Michael Kahn. “It’s a study of a great man, the world around him and his destruction. And although the play deals with jealousy – and, to an even greater extent, obsession – it doesn’t start out as a play about jealousy.

He has two brothers, Robert and Michael, and a sister, Gayle. He attended The Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria California, and received his BA from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington.

Other Broadway credits include Decius Brutus in Julius Caesar (starring Denzel Washington), Scrooge in A Christmas Carol (standby for Roger Daltrey), and multiple roles in The Kentucky Cycle. Off-Broadway he has appeared in Richard II directed by Steven Berkoff at The Public Theatre, and played the title role in Rex (opposite Melissa Errico) at the York Theatre.

  • Using Film to Teach Psychology: a Resource of Film Study Guides
    USING FILM TO TEACH PSYCHOLOGY: A RESOURCE OF FILM STUDY GUIDES Elizabeth M. Nelson, Christian Brothers University (2002 Instructional Resource Award Recipient) Overview This 106-page resource offers instructors tools for using films to enhance their instruction. Student evaluations consistently indicate that films help them learn the topics, provide an alternative to traditional lectures, and give them a different point of view. However, students also say they do not like to view films if they do not understand the relevancy of the film to the course material. This resource gives teachers of psychology additional tools for using film, such as tested study guides, sample syllabi, student papers, references, and Internet resources. The film study guides contained in this resource have been used in a variety of psychology classes, and may be applicable to a variety of other courses.
