  • Meet the Spqitful Cast of the Sweet Potato Queens
    Meet The SPQitful Cast of The Sweet Potato Queens For Immediate Release February 23, 2016 Artwork: Logo Headshots are linked in bios Media Contacts: Lisa Holmes, Manager, Public Relations (713) 558-2654, [email protected] Laura Pettitt, Assistant Director, Marketing (713) 558-2653, [email protected] (HOUSTON) – TUTS Underground presents the world premiere of The Sweet Potato Queens in March 2016. This new musical is brought to the stage in partnership with writer Rupert Holmes (Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Music and Lyrics for The Mysteries of Edwin Drood), Grammy® Award- winning composer Melissa Manchester, and Oscar-nominated lyricist Sharon Vaughn. TUTS Underground not only brings a wider musical theatre experience to Houston, but also serves as a launchpad – giving the TUTS Underground audience first view of new, emerging works. Based on The New York Times best-selling series (with a cult following) The Sweet Potato Queens ® by author Jill Connor Browne, the musical version is loosely based on Browne’s life – showcasing the juxtaposition between her life before creating the larger-than-life character of a Sweet Potato Queen, and after. An uplifting, empowering tale of perseverance and following dreams, The Sweet Potato Queens reminds audiences that everyone deserves to be special. Susan Koozin stars as Queen Jill with Kathryn Porterfield in the role of Jackson Jill. Her friends – all named Tammy – are Christina Stroup as Floozie Tammy, Julia Krohn as Flower Tammy and, new to the TUTS Underground stage, Kerissa Arrington as Too Much Tammy. The rest of the cast includes Dylan Godwin as George, Adam Gibbs as Tyler, Theresa Nelson as Mama and Kevin Cooney as Daddy.

Beck May 2020 ! Abstract ____________________________ This interdisciplinary thesis examines the myth of the orphan in twentieth-century America as exemplified through the recurring story of “Little Orphan Annie,” an iconic American figure of independence, resilience, and optimism. By providing historical context and literary analysis for each of Annie’s crucial moments in the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the character has advanced a misguided perception of orphan and youth agency. While evolving to represent different decades of American society in the twentieth century through different mediums, Annie has further misled Americans in their perception of orphan and youth agency.

  • Festival Program
    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.
