  • The Wedding Singer’ Kicks Off Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre Season
    Turning 50 and still a hit: ‘The Wedding Singer’ kicks off Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre season Love. Life. Laughter. Those are the three words to describe Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre's current season, which organizers say features the most ambitious musicals to date. The ASGT is kicking of its 50th year this weekend with the romantic-comedy musical "The Wedding Singer." The musical opened on Thursday and there will be performances every Thursday through Sunday until June 18. The season will also feature the rock opera "Rent" and comedy "The Producers." "We're using it as an opportunity to celebrate history and chose to stretch ourselves with three big musicals," said Lauren Winther-Hansen, ASGT's communications director. "We're not resting on our laurels, we're really pushing ourselves." The ASGT was founded in 1966 with the intention of giving local actors the opportunity to perform during the summer with the other theater organizations were on hiatus. From the beginning, the performances were outdoors at the historic William Paca House & Gardens. The first productions were "You Can't Take It With You" and "Brigadoon." The next year, the organization moved to Compromise Street, where ASGT still performs today in the outdoor theater. In the last 10 years, the ASGT has started to put on "edgier" productions, opposed to the traditional musicals, said Carolyn Kirby, the president of ASGT's board of directors. For several years, only one of the three ASGT musicals would be a newer or well-known musical, like "Avenue Q" or "25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee" Kirby said.

More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/qc_pubs/8 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] Published in Studies in Musical Theatre, vol. 3, no. 1 (2009): 91-99. In memory of Richard Wall. Brigadoon: Lerner and Loewe’s Scotland Upon arriving at a Scots baronial castle for a wedding, Simon Callow’s character in Four Weddings and a Funeral exclaims “Christ! It’s bloody Brigadoon!” pointing to the ubiquitous and camp nature of Brigadoon’s Scottishness (McArthur 2003: 2-3).1 Brigadoon’s (1947) Scotland consists of a highland landscape with lochs, mists, castles with fair maidens, warlike yet sensitive kilted men and bagpipers. The Scottishness of Brigadoon, aside from the visual elements, comes from Scottish sounding names and words, Scottish dances and music, and Scottish traditions. Much of this comes from the invented traditions of Scotland, such as kilts and clan tartans; Scottish literature, including MacPherson’s Ossian, Sir Walter Scott and the Kailyard movement; Scottish propaganda for tourism; and Scottish popular culture, like the music-hall caricature of a drunken, kilted Scot popularized by Harry Lauder (McArthur 2003: 14-18, 47-49; Maloney 2003: 2, 14). The Scots played a role in creating these as way to recover or assert a national identity after merging with England in the Union of 1707.

  • National Trust for Scotland Left Mystery Suicide Victim's Fortune - the Scotsman
    National Trust for Scotland left mystery suicide victim's fortune - The Scotsman Published Date: 04 January 2011 William R Lindsay, a secretive millionaire who had anonymously given nearly $4 million (£2.5m) to the trust in the past 18 months, is understood to have bequeathed his estate, after a lonely death at his home in Las Vegas. Donations from Mr Lindsay, who shot himself in November at the age of 79, contributed to the cost of major projects such as the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway, Ayrshire, which opened last month. While much of Mr Lindsay's life - and the source of his wealth - remains shrouded in mystery, the value of his legacy is likely to be considerable. A fundraiser who works in the United States on behalf of the trust believes it could be worth up to $4m. An NTS spokesman paid tribute to the "long-time supporter and generous donor", but refused to comment on how much - or when - any funds would be available to the organisation. Johanna Gurland, who raises funds for the NTS in the US, said Mr Lindsay had never visited Scotland but was inspired to donate by a passion for the country's history. • 'If you saw him you wouldn't think he had a dime' • Other generous spirits "Like many Americans he had a fantasy of Scotland based on the movie Brigadoon and not too much else," she said. "His family very long back came from Scotland, but it was many years ago, he had no direct connection. He was very interested in history and one of the things that impressed him was the age of the properties." After years of living alone with his dog and driving an ageing car, Mr Lindsay took his own life apparently to avoid going into a care home, Nevada police said.

At about five o’clock in the morning, they hear music from a nearby village (“Brigadoon”). They are confused and shocked to see there is no village charted on the map. Tommy and Jeff approach the misty village to ask for directions back to their inn. The village is revealed and all of the citizens are gathered for a weekly fair (“McConnachy Square”). Andrew MacLaren enters with his two daughters, Fiona and Jean. Jean, the younger daughter, is getting married later in the evening to Charlie Dalrymple. Harry Beaton, despite being the apple of Maggie Anderson’s eye, is immensely in love with Jean and is resentful towards the wedding. On the other hand, Fiona is in no rush to be married saying you should only marry if “ye an’ your lad want to stay together fiercely” (“Waitin’ for My Dearie”). Tommy and Jeff enter amazed and confused to see the uncharted village.
