Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • The Glass Menagerie Teachers´Packaug
    The Glass Menagerie Plot Overview The Glass Menagerie is known as a “ memory play” because it is based on the way the plays narrator, Tom, remembers events. The story is a told to us by Tom Wingfield, a merchant marine looking back on the Depression years he spent with his overbearing Southern genteel mother, Amanda, and his physically disabled, cripplingly shy sister, Laura. While Amanda strives to give her children a life beyond the decrepit St. Louis tenement they inhabit, she is herself trapped by the idealised memory of her life past . Tom, working at a shoe factory and paying the family’s rent, finds his own escape in drinking and going to the movies, while Laura pours her energy into caring for her delicate glass figurines. Tom, pressured by his mother to help find Laura a suitable husband, invites an acquaintance from the factory to the apartment, a powerful possibility that pushes Amanda deeper into her obsessions and makes Laura even more vulnerable to shattering, exposed like the glass menagerie she treasures. Williams’ intensely personal and brilliantly tender masterpiece exposes the complexity of our memories, and the ways in which we can never truly escape them. Detailed Summary Scene 1 “I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion.” – Tom The narrator, Tom, explains directly to the audience that the scenes are “memory,” therefore nonrealistic. Memory omits (leaves out) details and exaggerates them according to the value of the memory. Memory, as he explains, rests mainly in the heart. We learn from the narrator that the gentleman- caller character is the most realistic because he is from the world of reality and symbolizes the “expected something that we live for.” The photograph is of the father who left the family a long time ago.

  • Richard Walton Tully's the Bird of Paradise and the Dynamics Of
    TULLY’S THE BIRD OF PARADISE /1 Selling the Bird: Richard Walton Tully’s The Bird of Paradise and the Dynamics of Theatrical Commodification Christopher B. Balme Theatre historians have long been aware of a glaring dichotomy between theatre’s cultural impact in a given period and its subsequent canonization in texts and productions. As Laurence Senelick has recently pointed out, the canon of anthologized dramatic texts has little or no room for plays by August von Kotzebue, Voltaire’s Mahomet, Aiken’s dramatization of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, or “perennial crowd pleasers like Charley’s Aunt or The Odd Couple.”1 This continuing state of selective amnesia cannot be justified simply by reference to criteria of literary quality, as theatre historians have long since liberated themselves from such dictates. Despite acknowl- edgment of the nonliterary aspects of theatre and the growing body of research into popular theatre and performance, there still remains a lingering suspicion of the long- run hit play and its attendant processes of commodification. The subject of this essay is a largely forgotten long-run play that had considerable impact on US culture in the first half of the twentieth century. Richard Walton Tully’s romantic drama The Bird of Paradise is a perfect example of a serious-minded, commercially successful play that has been erased from our disciplinary memory. Yet it intersects with and reflects many discourses and texts that continue to have influence. The play is set in Hawaii in the early 1890s, the period in which the US annexed the islands and disempowered the native queen and indigenous Hawaiians.

  • CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 1987; Designation List 196 LP-1328 CORT THEATER, 138-146 West 48th Street, Manhattan. Built 1912-13; architect, Thomas Lamb . Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1000, Lot 49. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Cort Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 24). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Cort Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1912- 13, the Cort is among the oldest surviving theaters in New York. It was designed by arc hi teet Thomas Lamb to house the productions of John Cort , one of the country's major producers and theater owners. The Cort Theater represents a special aspect of the nation's theatrical history. Beyond its historical importance, it is an exceptionally handsome theater, with a facade mode l e d on the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Its triple-story, marble-faced Corinthian colonnade is very unusual among the Broadway theater s.

  • King Vidor at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art N0.97 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE TO KING VIDOR AT MUSEUM A two-and-a-half month tribute to King Vidor, pioneer American film director, will begin September 1, 1972, at The Museum of Modern Art. The retrospective includes 39 films from 1920 to 1964, spanning more than 40 years of the director's career. It includes such eminent films as "The Big Parade," "The Crowd," and "Our Daily Bread." A new book by King Vidor will be published during the Museum retrospective. It is titled "King Vidor on Filmmaking," and will be published in October by David McKay Company, Inc. The 78-year-old director, who will come from Hollywood to be present at the Museum retrospective, will be introduced to the public and address the Museum audience at the Thursday evening performance, September 7, at 8:00 P.M., when "Show People," starring Marion Davies, is shown. The director plays himself in the picture, along with Charles Chaplin, John Gilbert, and Douglas Fairbanks, who also portray themselves. The Vidor retrospective was organized by Adrienne Mancia, Associate Curator of the Department of Film. The films come from many sources including the Museum's own archive and circulating library. Some films were contributed by the Cinematheque of Toulouse, the Czechoslovak Film Archive in Prague, the George Eastman House, the American Film Institute, and several major film companies. One film, "Peg 0' My Heart," starring Laurette Taylor, was considered lost until it was located in Spain at the Filmoteca Nacional de Espana (Madrid).

  • Black and Multi-Racial Productions of Tennessee Williams's the Glass Menagerie
    Spring 1995 97 Black and Multi-Racial Productions of Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie Philip C. Kolin In an earlier essay,1 I traced the history of Black and multi-ethnic productions of A Streetcar Named Desire and explored the sociological/theoretical implications that such productions have for an interpretation of Williams's script. In this essay on The Glass Menagerie, I will similarly investigate this Williams play as it is represented in Black and multi-racial productions. Non-traditional (sometimes labeled "color-blind" or "open") casting has brought new life to, and disclosed complex texts in, Shakespearean drama for more than thirty-five years. In large measure, Joseph Papp's "New York Shakespeare Festival" was responsible for the riches non-traditional casting can bring to script, director, actors, and audiences. Black productions of The Glass Menagerie, as I intend to show, also establish a vital counter-tradition (or para-tradition, to be fair) to a dominant and potentially repetitious white theatre culture. While I make no claims to document every Black or multi-racial production—professional or amateur—of Glass Menagerie, I believe that the productions discussed in this article are representative of their respective decades and theatres. Black (non-traditional) casting of Williams's plays perpetuates rather than distorts Williams's legacy. These non-traditional productions address four key issues: (1) Williams's plays, as done by African American companies, renegotiate the question of universality as a term in Western aesthetics. (2) The language of ownership, often used in relation to plays and playwrights is also problematized.
