Artment of Theatre and Dance Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region Two Festival 47 the Kennedy Center Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and DancE Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region two Festival 47 The Kennedy Center Festival 47 January 2-6, 2015 KCACTF HAS GONE MOBILE! WELCOME REMARKS Welcome from the Chair of Region II I have been looking forward to this festival for two years. Ever since I came to Cleveland KCACTF HAS State to respond to a production of Miss Julie and our festival host, Michael Mauldin, gave me the grand tour. I loved hearing the story of Playhouse Square’s fall into disrepair and its revival. You have to admire the dedication of the artists who produced Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris in the State Th eater lobby to prove that theater in downtown Cleveland was a viable proposition. Th e original three-week run extended to two years. Th e beautiful Playhouse Square art deco facilities are just the tip of the iceberg. Cleveland State University has renovated the Middough building, a former car dealership and offi ce building, into its Arts Campus fi lled with rehearsal halls, dance GONE MOBILE! studios, class rooms, art studios, and a black box theatre. We have lots of spaces for great workshops, wonderful performances, exciting exploration of new plays and the latest in design technology. If you aren’t worn out and fi lled with the theatre joy by the end of the festival, you just aren’t trying. Please take advantage of all the festival has the off er and enjoy everything you do this week. We’re glad you’re here Region II’s Festival 47 Dr. Scott Mackenzie Chair, KCACTF Region 2 Welcome from the President of Cleveland State University Welcome to Cleveland State University! Th e University is so pleased to partner with Playhouse Square in hosting the Kennedy Center American College Th eater Festival (KCACTF) for Region II. Th e Festival encourages, recognizes, and supports the fi nest and most diverse work produced in university and college theater programs. During the next 5 days, you will join approximately 1,200 other students and faculty members from Region II colleges and universities for a wide range of workshops and seminars from playwriting and auditioning to stage combat and scenery construc- tion. While you are with us, I encourage you to enjoy many festival productions and showcases on some of the fi nest stages in the nation at Playhouse Square, the second largest theatre district in the country. I am particularly proud that the University’s production of Th e Dybbuk—featuring a cast and crew of 46 students and associates—has been selected for performance during the festival on January 6. Cleveland State University is wholly immersed in the vibrant arts and theatre scene in Cleveland and is committed to supporting the arts in this region and beyond. In 2012, we established our Arts Campus in the heart of Playhouse Square. Th e University’s Middough Building, which includes more than 120,000 square feet of classrooms, rehearsal space, art studios, offi ces, and pro- duction shops for sets and costumes, is one of the most extensive undergraduate theater and dance facilities in the nation, and our unique partnership with Playhouse Square and Cleveland Playhouse gives our students an opportunity to learn alongside working theater professionals. Th ank you for supporting and participating in the Kennedy Center American College Th eater Festival, a distinguished tradition and a catalyst for improving the quality of college theater in the United States. Please enjoy the festival and your time in Cleveland. Dr. Ronald M. Berkman President Cleveland State University KCACTF 2015 3 Cleveland State University WELCOME REMARKS Welcome from the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all our guests attending the Kennedy Center Amer- ican College Theatre Festival. Welcome to Cleveland State University’s Fine Arts Campus, located in Cleveland’s Playhouse Square. We are proud to share our space with you and hope that, despite the cold weather, you will fully enjoy our warm Cleveland hospitality. Our program’s recent history is a story of struggle and triumph. Although our emeriti faculty include the likes of Reuben Silver and Joe Garry (whose production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris played a key role in the revival of Playhouse Square), only ten years ago our Dramatic Arts program had dwin- dled to only a few hardy students, who performed in a run-down Factory Theatre on Chester Ave. Through the leadership of two visionary Cleveland State University Presidents, Michael Schwartz and Ronald Berkman, the University established creative partnerships with Cleveland Play House, the oldest regional theatre in the country, and Playhouse Square, and, with our community part- ners, helped raise the funds to refurbish the Allen Theatre (in the process creating three exciting new performance venues) as well as large parts of the Middough Building. As a result, our Theatre and Dance programs now enjoy a new home in what has become the second largest live theatre district in the country. At the same time, under the inspired leadership of Michael Mauldin and (now) Lynn Deering, our old Dramatic Arts Program merged with the University’s old Dance Program to become the new Department of Theatre and Dance while growing to its present size of about 90 undergraduate theatre majors. We believe that we are only at the beginning of a long and illustrious performance. Finally, I would like to thank our partners in the KCACTF organization for bringing the Festival to our city and campus. It is an honor for us to host the Festival, and we will do our best to make sure that this year’s gathering is among the best ever. Now, let’s raise the curtain! Dr. Gregory M. Sadlek, Dean College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Cleveland State University Welcome from the Department of Theatre and Dance On behalf of the Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance, it is our pleasure to welcome the Region 2 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival 47 to our Arts Campus in Playhouse Square! You are now in the second largest theatre center in the United States, with only Lincoln Center in New York City having more theatrical venues and seating. Along with our partners, Playhouse Square and Cleveland Playhouse, the nation’s first profes- sional Regional Theatre, we know that you will have an exciting week in the theatrical heart of a vibrant theatrical city. The partnership between Playhouse Square and CSU Theatre goes back further than hosting KCACTF or moving into our state of the art facilities two years ago. In the early 1970s, Playhouse Square was doomed for the wrecking ball, with plans to level the grand old theatres in order to make a parking lot downtown. As part of an effort to bring attention to this emergency, our department’s founding director, Joseph Garry, staged a production of the musical review Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris for what was planned as a two weekend run in the lobby of the State Theatre. Two and a half years and 355 performances later, that production was credited for being the impetus to save Playhouse Square and bring it to the exciting theatre and business center you see today. Some may doubt that theatre has the power to do anything but entertain, but we at CSU know with certainty that its power for change is virtually unlimited in the hands of dedicated artistic visionaries. We know that you will enjoy some of the finest dining and shopping available in our bustling downtown. We also know that you will have an exciting and inspiring time as you take in the workshops, performances, and other offerings of Festival 47. It is rare that theatre students, faculty, and practitioners can share their work, their passion, and their dreams with each other in one set- ting, and we are proud to have been able to make this possible. Welcome to our city, and let the festivities begin!!! Dr. Michael Mauldin, Festival Liaison, Past Chair Lynn Deering, Present Chair Department of Theatre and Dance Department of Theatre and Dance Cleveland State University Cleveland State University Bill Bowers, KEYNOTE SPEAKER Sunday, January 4, 2015, 12noon-1pm Performing his solo show BEYOND WORDS Ohio Th eatre Hailed by critics as the most accomplished and renowned mime of his generation, Bill Bowers currently performs and teaches the art of physical storytelling throughout the world.

  • LGBTQ PERFORMING ARTS in NYC June 22, 1868 Singer Edwin Kelly and Female Impersonator Francis Role of Hedda Gabler to Start Her Broadway Acting Career
    CURTAINS UP! New York City Council L G B T Q PERFORMING ARTS IN NYC 2020 CALENDAR Cover: Adina Verson and Katrina Lenk performing in Indecent, Original Broadway Company. Photograph by Carol Rosegg. t is my pleasure to introduce this calendar from the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives documenting the rich history of the local LGBTQ community’s role in the performing arts. This vibrant and welcoming community is one of the main reasons that I was drawn to New York City as a young gay man. I When one thinks of the magical allure of New York City throughout the nation and around the world, the performing arts immediately come to mind. These arts have shaped the city’s culture and, in turn, the nation’s. Performing arts typically include the dramas, comedies, and musicals of Broadway, Off- Broadway, and Off-Off Broadway theatre, as well as opera, cabaret, orchestral music, classical dance, and more. This calendar is truly unique in that it reaches beyond this standard definition by exploring the role of performing arts as political and cultural protest. From the Latinx L’Unicorns of Staten Island, to the Brooklyn-based Ballez, to the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD!), the calendar features performing arts from all five boroughs. Dancers from all five Queens-based CUNY schools are also depicted performing in the annual Queens Pride Parade in Jackson Heights over the last two years. Manhattan, of course, is represented by the dramas and musicals of Broadway and the queer cabaret performed downtown. Yet, the LGBTQ community’s history with New York’s performing arts also reveals a story of prejudice and outright prohibition.
