    SAVORING THE CLASSICAL TRADITION IN DRAMA ENGAGING PRESENTATIONS BY THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD I N P R O U D COLLABORATION WIT H THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB THE PLAYERS, NEW YORK CITY THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION SALUTING A UNIQUE INSTITUTION ♦ Monday, November 26 Founded in 1917 by the Drama League, the Drama Book Shop became an independent store in 1923. Since 2001 it has been located on West 40th Street, where it provides a variety of services to the actors, directors, producers, and other theatre professionals who work both on and off Broadway. Many of its employees THE PLAYERS are young performers, and a number of them take part in 16 Gramercy Park South events at the Shop’s lovely black-box auditorium. In 2011 Manhattan the store was recognized by a Tony Award for Excellence RECEPTION 6:30, PANEL 7:00 in the Theatre . Not surprisingly, its beneficiaries (among them Admission Free playwrights Eric Bogosian, Moises Kaufman, Lin-Manuel Reservations Requested Miranda, Lynn Nottage, and Theresa Rebeck), have responded with alarm to reports that high rents may force the Shop to relocate or close. Sharing that concern, we joined The Players and such notables as actors Jim Dale, Jeffrey Hardy, and Peter Maloney, and writer Adam Gopnik to rally support for a cultural treasure. DAKIN MATTHEWS ♦ Monday, January 28 We look forward to a special evening with DAKIN MATTHEWS, a versatile artist who is now appearing in Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Our conference this year begins with the assumption that dramaturgy is creative and generative, a way of making. We come together to consider the forms this creativity takes and its implications for the field. Conference chairs Jane Ann Crum and Brian Quirt have invited special guests that provide innovative models of creative dramaturgy: (in order of appearance) Moisés Kaufman, Paul Lazar, Annie-B Parson, and Anne Cattaneo. Liz Engelman has organized eight professional practice forums around the concept of the dramaturg as creator.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting The
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal September 22, 2016 The President. Thank you! Everybody, please have a seat, have a seat. Thank you so much. Everybody, please sit down. I can tell this is a rowdy crowd. Sit down. [Laughter] Welcome to the White House, everybody. Now, throughout my time here, Michelle and I have tried to make it a priority to promote the arts and the humanities, especially for our young people, and it's because we believe that the arts and the humanities are, in many ways, reflective of our national soul. They're central to who we are as Americans: dreamers and storytellers and innovators and visionaries. They're what helps us make sense of the past, the good and the bad. They're how we chart a course for the future while leaving something of ourselves for the next generation to learn from. And we are here today to honor the very best of their fields, creators who give every piece of themselves to their craft. As Mel Brooks once said—[laughter]—to her—to his writers on "Blazing Saddles," which is a great film: "Write anything you want, because we'll never be heard from again. We will all be arrested for this movie." [Laughter] Now, to be fair, Mel also said, a little more eloquently, that "every human being has hundreds of separate people living inside his skin. And the talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living within him." And that, I think, is what the arts and the humanities do.

  • Mainstream AIDS Theatre, the Media, and Gay Civil Rights
    Mainstream AIDS Theatre, the Media, and Gay Civil Rights This book demonstrates the political potential of mainstream theatre in the U.S. at the end of the twentieth century, tracing ideological change over time in the reception of U.S. mainstream plays taking HIV/AIDS as their topic from 1985 to 2000. This is the first study to combine the top- ics of the politics of performance, LGBT theatre, and mainstream theatre’s political potential, a juxtaposition that shows how radical ideas become mainstream, that is, how the dominant ideology changes. Using materialist semiotics and extensive archival research, Juntunen delineates the cultural history of four pivotal productions from that period—Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart (1985), Tony Kushner’s Angels in America (1992), Jonathan Larson’s Rent (1996), and Moises Kaufman’s The Laramie Project (2000). Examining the connection of AIDS, mainstream theatre, and the media reveals key systems at work in ideological change over time during a deadly epidemic whose effects changed the nation forever. Employing media the- ory alongside nationalism studies and utilizing dozens of reviews for each case study, the volume demonstrates that reviews are valuable evidence of how a production was hailed by society’s ideological gatekeepers. Mixing this new use of reviews alongside textual analysis and material study—such as the theaters’ locations, architectures, merchandise, program notes, and advertising—creates an uncommonly rich description of these productions and their ideological effects. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of theatre, politics, media studies, queer theory, and U.S. history, and to those with an interest in gay civil rights, one of the most successful social movements of the late twentieth century.

  • The Society for American Music
    The Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 1 RIDERS IN THE SKY 2008 Honorary Members Riders In The Sky are truly exceptional. By definition, empirical data, and critical acclaim, they stand “hats & shoulders” above the rest of the purveyors of C & W – “Comedy & Western!” For thirty years Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life “The Cowboy Way!” 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference Hosted by Trinity University 27 February - 2 March 2008 San Antonio, Texas 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 4 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 5 Welcome to the 34th annual conference of the Society for American Music! This wonderful meeting is a historic watershed for our Society as we explore the musics of our neighbors to the South. Our honorary member this year is the award-winning group, Riders In The Sky, who will join the San Antonio Symphony for an unusual concert of American music (and comedy). We will undoubtedly have many new members attending this conference. I hope you will welcome them and make them feel “at home.” That’s what SAM is about! Many thanks to Kay Norton and her committee for their exceptional program and to Carl Leafstedt and his committee for their meticulous attention to the many challenges of local arrangements.
