Providence Place Showcase Providence Place Showcase Cinema 10 Providence Place, Providence, RI 02903 1.800.315.4000 http://www.nationalamusements.com/theatres/current_theatre.asp?theatre=8641 Tickets: $10 general admission Wed., 8/11: 7:00 p.m. The Caretaker 3D Directed by Sean Isroelit 5 min. U S A, 2009 Set in the late 1930's, The Caretaker 3D is about the man who maintained the 4000 light bulbs which once outlined the HOLLYWOODLAND sign at night. A high profile period project that reflects how Hollywood films reach out to the world, The Caretaker 3D stars Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke as the mystical custodian. Waking Sleeping Beauty Directed by Don Hahn 86 min. U S A, 2009 Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions… and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history. Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind—the—magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control, mounting tensions due to a string of box office flops, and warring studio heads create the backdrop for this fascinating story told with a unique and candid perspective from those that were there. Through interviews, internal memos, home movies, and a cast of characters featuring Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Roy Disney, alongside an amazing array of talented artists that includes Don Bluth, John Lasseter, and Tim Burton, Waking Sleeping Beauty shines a light on Disney Animation’s darkest hours, greatest joys and its improbable renaissance. .

  • A Queer Investigation of the Broadwayfication of Disney the Term
    A Beauty But a Funny Girl: A Queer Investigation of the Broadwayfication of Disney The term “Disneyfication” often implies that substance, edge, and thematic depth have been removed and replaced with childish, censored, and heteronormative story lines, in the form of mindless spectacle. Politically, the term implies values which range from “simplistically rightist- moderately conservative to those who barely tolerate Disney, [to] cryptofascist for those who perceive his work as insidious, even dangerous.” (Douglas, xi) Therefore, to refer to the period in the mid-1990's, when Disney acquired real estate in Times Square and opened musicals on Broadway, as the “Disneyfication of Broadway” is to imply an invasion of a corporate, heteronormative culture into a Broadway culture which is historiographically represented as a sophisticated, leftist refuge for the outsiders of American culture, particularly the LGBTQ community. However, in Making Things Perfectly Queer, Alexander Doty asserts that “unless the text is about queers ...the queerness of most mass culture texts is less an essential, waiting-to-be-discovered property than the result of acts of production or reception.” (xi) Thus, this paper traces the production and reception of the Disney property Beauty and the Beast from animated film to the Broadway stage in order to uncover the ways in which its creators utilized a traditional musical theatre form to present an anti-essentialist treatment of gender and sexuality in American culture to the mainstream public. I refer to the influence of musical theatre culture on Walt Disney Company films as its “Broadwayfication.” Since one of the major deterrents of a queer reading of Disney musicals is the “Disney” brand name, my goal in justifying my own queer reading of Beauty and the Beast is to bring this musical out of the “closeted” categories of code, camp, and connotation and to provide another voice for the queer community.

  • Born in Baltimore, Howard Ashman Grew up Loving Musical Theatre
    SYNOPSIS: Born in Baltimore, Howard Ashman grew up loving musical theatre. After studying at Boston University and Goddard College, he earned his Masters degree at University of Indiana. In 1978, Howard came to New York and opened a Off-Off-Broadway theatre, which he initially subsidized by writing cover copy for book publishers before it became the talk of the town. His success adapting a Kurt Vonnegut novel, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, led Howard and his song writing partner, Alan Menken, to adapt the Roger Corman film Little Shop of Horrors for the stage—which quickly became a cultural phenomenon in New York City and beyond. His success led him to a dream collaboration with A Chorus Line composer Marvin Hamlisch on the musical Smile. But the production was plagued with changes, and after investors bailed it soon crashed when it opened on Broadway. Humiliated, Howard fled Broadway and answered Disney Studio Head Jeffrey Katzenberg’s call to come to California and work for Disney. Howard immediately gravitated to animation where he could bring his musical theatre skills to a new medium. Menken joined him and the result was the Oscar winning score and songs for THE LITTLE MERMAID. But in the background of the triumph of MERMAID, Howard was diagnosed with AIDS, at a time when the disease was untreatable and a virtual death sentence. Howard kept his illness a secret and instead of slowing down, dug into two new musicals for Disney. The first, ALADDIN, yielded brilliant song demos inspired by Fats Waller, but the story crashed and went into rewrites.
