  • Playbill 2017
    PLAYBILL ALPHA PSI OMEGA DELTA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega Delta Psi Omega Chapters in Action Scholarship Winners 2017 History of Alpha and Delta Psi Omegas In the early twentieth century, interest in the dramatic arts grew tremendously on college and university cam- puses. By 1920, most colleges had a dramatic organization staging plays annually for the campus and the com- munity at large. Also around this time, little theatre productions and dramatic workshops began taking place. This furthered the interest in theatre on campuses everywhere, especially in the western part of the country. At this time, several honororary groups were formed to recognize and reward exemplary student participation in those productions. In 1921, at Fairmont State College in Fairmont, West Virginia, college theater took root. A faculty director was hired in 1923, and the Masquers were formed. The Masquers were charged with presenting a season of 4 to 5 major productions per year for students and the general public. In 1924, the Masquers began searching for a na- tional honorary organization to join. As there was no truly national organization, Elinor B. Watson, Robert Sloan, and Fairmont faculty director Paul F. Opp researched forming such a national organization. As a result of their research and work, a proposed national constitution was drawn up, and, on August 12, 1925, the first cast of Alpha Psi Omega members, drawn from the Masquers, was initiated. It was then decided that each chapter was to be called a "cast," and Fairmont College became the Alpha Cast. Soon after, Marshall Col- lege in Huntington, West Virginia, expressed interest in chartering a cast of Alpha Psi Omega; they founded the Beta Cast.

  • Musical Theatre in the Mountains: an Examination of West Virginia Public Theatre’S History, Mission, Practices, and Community Impact
    MUSICAL THEATRE IN THE MOUNTAINS: AN EXAMINATION OF WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE’S HISTORY, MISSION, PRACTICES, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. David S. Sollish A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Michael B. Ellison, Advisor Elaine J. Colprit Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan L. Chambers Ronald E. Shields ii ABSTRACT Michael B. Ellison, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which a professional theatre can impact its community and to provide useful suggestions for young producers hoping to start their own theatre. By using the West Virginia Public Theatre as a case study and by examining its three-part mission (to entertain, to educate, and to improve the quality of life), this study highlights both effective and ineffectual practices conducted by the theatre, its administration, and its staff to ascertain the efficacy of that mission. Furthermore, the numerous voices stemming from my personal interviews with a cross-section of the community have served as a principal source of data from which to analyze the theatre’s impact on the blue-collar, sports- focused society of North Central West Virginia. West Virginia Public Theatre was established in 1985 and since has grown to be a reputable summer stock company. Modeled on the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, West Virginia Public Theatre has developed from a small, unknown theatre performing in a parking lot tent to a well-respected summer stock theatre with aspirations of further developing into a regional company.

The 57th season of Tibbits Summer Theatre is all about adapting. Without resorting to a litany of clichés, we needed to rethink and reconfigure every aspect of what we traditionally do. Through the amazing talents of Charles Burr and Tibbits’ entire staff of creative thinkers and doers, we have pulled together what we hope you will find to be a unique and fulfilling season. The shows will not have full sets or live orchestras. They will have great talent and many familiar faces. They won’t be full productions, but you will still be fulfilled...able to smile, laugh, tap your toe and maybe escape for a period of time. We will still have something for our youngest patrons even if it isn’t popcorn at intermission.

  • The Contents of This Study Guide Are Based on Standards Developed by the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers
    The contents of this study guide are based on standards developed by the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers. Broadway Theatrical, LLC is proud to present the Thru The Stage Door edition of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, a new and innovative way of using Broadway as an educational tool in the classroom. Thru The Stage Door has been created by seasoned educators and combined with technology to bring lessons alive in the classroom and engage students. Whether you are teaching the Arts, Social Studies or even Science, you will find rich Broadway content and curriculum compliant lessons. When I was seven years old, my parents took me to see the original Broadway cast of Mame on Broadway. Now, more than four decades later I can still remember every moment of that visceral experience. I knew at that moment that this was the world in which I wanted to work and for 2 decades now, I wake up every morning thrilled that I’ve been fortunate to work in this truly magical world. I was also incredibly lucky to grow up in a school with a dynamic arts program that fueled my desire daily. Sadly, arts programs have been cut in most schools now and an entire generation is growing up without the many skills arts can teach. Broadway Theatrical, LLC is committed to keeping the arts in the classroom with Thru The Stage Door. As a companion piece to seeing a Broadway show or as stand-alone lessons, Thru The Stage Door is designed to stimulate creativity, inspire collaboration and engage a new generation of theatre-goers.
