I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

The films follows RECENT COMMENTS three Middle Eastern women and who deal with abuse, rape and struggles with their sexuality. The script was originally boycotted but was saved thanks to the efforts of the film's director and I'm obsessed with all things producer.

Queer Identities and Glee
IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music August 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.

LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RAMON CORTINES Superintendent
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RAMON CORTINES Superintendent Verdugo Hills High School BYRON MALTEZ 10625 PLAINVIEW AVENUE TUJUNGA, CA 91042 Superintendent, ESC North TELEPHONE: (818) 951-5400 FAX: (818) 352-3577 EDWARD TRIMIS, Ed.D. Principal March 1, 2015 Dear Glee Producer, We are excited to share with you what Glee” has meant to us at Verdugo Hills High School. I grew up with Fame, the film and then the TV show, in the 80’s when I was in college and then when I started teaching. I taught middle school music for 6 years and high school for just over 7years. I then became an administrator, an assistant principal and eventually a principal. I directed pop/jazz/show choir-type groups all the way from when I was in high school through college and at each of my schools. (“Showstoppers” at Berendo MS, “Jazz Singers” at Huntington Park HS, etc.). For the last three years I have been the principal at Verdugo Hills High School and this is where I need to pick up the story and specifically the impact and direction of “Glee”. (“The Glee Project” was actually filmed in part at Verdugo Hills HS in Season 1). When I was hired by the superintendent to be the principal at Verdugo, I was given two charges: improve the relationship between the school and the community and bring students back to the school/increase enrollment. I had built music programs before and had run major enrollment drives at some of my schools, so I knew what I had to do.
