Having started performing while in grade school, Catherine has been in multitudes of shows. She took a ten year break, going to graduate school and embarking on her career. She is very proud of her family, her dad, a retired minister, and her mom, a retired music teacher and choir director. Her mom is also a violinist, and her step-dad, a trumpet player, still playing in bands and orchestras. Catherine's husband, Joel LeClair, whiles away his time when she is at rehearsal and performing, by training their Norwegian Elkhound and fixing up their house, "which has great potential". Catherine has worked locally with Sunnyvale Community Players, Foothill College and Palo Alto Players. Catherine loves working again with the many friends she made in other shows and working with the new folks, too. In the real world, Catherine manages Market Research and Strategic Planning for Inmac in Santa Clara. ROBERT GREEN - Fred/Petruchio A newcomer to the world of musical theater, Robert is making his debut in "Kiss Me, Kate". Hailing from Santa Barbara, Bob has made his home in the bay area, where he earned his BA in music at San Jose State. He also has a teaching crudential and taught English and Special Education classes before turning his hobby of collecting comic books into a business. Bob can be found at local comic book trade shows and conventions and plans to open his own shop next spring. A romantic at heart, Bob married wife Andrea on Valentine's Day a few years ago. A chorus member of the San Francisco Symphony for three years, he has also played the jailer in San Jose Opera's Tosca. In his spare time, Bob works with a bible study group helping with a family homeless shelter. We would like to thank Bob's voice teacher, Catherine Edgerton, for suggesting that he audition for this show. LESLIE LANE - Lois Lane/Bianca Although the name is almost the same, Leslie assures us that Lois Lane is no relation. A native of Central California, with a BA in Theatre from Long Beach State University, lively Leslie has been in Silicon Valley for five years now. She started her on- stage career in the "hot theater town" of Bakersfield over twenty shows ago. Leslie's favorite roles were Luce in "Boys From Syracuse", Martha in "Company", Louisa in "The Fantasticks", Nicky in "Sweet Charity" and a memorable Adelaide in "Guys And Dolls", these last two for WVLO. We sincerely hope Leslie adds Lois/Bianca to her list of favorites. Always a pleasure to work with, Leslie has this to say about working with us: "First I was a natural brunette, then a dizzy blond ...now a randy redhead. What next, bald?" We hope not. Let's see if we can find her a role as a raven haired beauty ... VICTORIA GRAHAM - Hattie We welcome this perky young lady to her first production with WVLO. Although Victoria has been performing for only five years, she is wasting no time in sharing her versatility and talents with local audiences. "Kiss Me, Kate" is Victoria's fourteenth show. Other productions include "Once Upon A Mattress", "Christmas Carol", "West Side Story", "Pirates of Penzance", "Anything Goes", and "Broadway" for West Valley College. "Jacques Brei Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris" and "Life Is A Dream" for City Lights, "Sweeney Todd" and "The Decline And Fall Of The Entire World Through The Eyes Of Cole Porter" for Foothill College, and "Sweeney Todd" for San Jose Civic Light Opera, where she was nominated for the esteemed Ginny award. Victoria studied music at CSU, Fresno, and is continuing her studies with drama at Foothill College and voice with one of our favorites, Joan Stubbe. DAVID LAPHAM - Paul A newcomer to the West Valley Light Opera stage, we welcome David to this production. David was born in Portland, Oregon. He has been in Northern California for 22 years. When not performing, David manages a retreat facility in Pescadero. He started in theater at Foothill College as recently as 1988, taking music and drama classes there. In this short period of time, he performed with Theatreworks' Summer Festival in Palo Alto. David would like to play Paul in "Carnival" and Jesse in "Jesse and the Bandit Queen". When asked what's next, David replied, ''I'm finally taking a dance class, so maybe there's hope." We hope he won't forget us when his flying feet become famous. ~, BOB SEDGWICK - Bill Calhoun/Lucentio A native of Washington, D.C., Bob has lived in the Bay Area for the past twelve years. In 1979, after seeing several performances at this theatre, he thought he would give show business a try and garnered a part in our production of •• "Oklahoma". Since then, Bob played Hortensio in our 1981 production of "Kiss Me, Kate", and two of his favorite roles, Motel, in "Fiddler On The Roof", in 1984, for Saratoga Drama Group, and Matt in "The Fantasticks" for the North Valley Players, as well as other roles in "Hello Dolly" and "Follies" for Saratoga Drama Group, and "Music Man" for CAST. Bob attended Purdue University, and after teaching business law for five years at De Anza College, he began his law practice, specializing in family law. Aside from performing in local musical productions, Bob teaches ballroom dancing. He said that he "enjoys performing whether it's in court, or on stage".

    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.

  • Integration and the American Musical: from Musical Theatre to Performance Studies
    Integration and the American Musical: From Musical Theatre to Performance Studies By James Bradley Rogers A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Linda Williams Professor Shannon Steen Fall 2010 COPYRIGHT 2010 JAMES BRADLEY ROGERS Abstract Integration and the American Musical: From Musical Theatre to Performance Studies by James Bradley Rogers Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair In this dissertation, I challenge the discourse of “integration” that has long served as the foundation of musical theatre historiography. Integration ostensibly refers to an artful melding of the various components of the musical, such that the dances, songs, and dialogue appear fluid and continuous, of a whole. Most histories of the musical claim that the Kern-Hammerstein musical Show Boat was the first piece to adumbrate integration, and that the 1943 Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Oklahoma! fully realized this promise of integration. I argue that this commonly held view ignores the fundamental impossibility of the musical to speak from a single voice, given the shift between the dialogic and musical registers. My dissertation illuminates how certain components or conventions of performance—divas, dancers, and the relationship of musicals to film and opera—have helped to consolidate this fictive sense of integration. This analysis also shows how the dominant narrative of musical theatre historiography—and our subsequent understandings of musical theatre—have been intimately suffused with the politics of gender, race, class, and nation.

  • Kiss Me, Kate
    ‘A CHANCE FOR STAGE FOLKS TO SAY “HELLO”: ENTERTAINMENT AND THEATRICALITY IN KISS ME, KATE HANNAH MARIE ROBBINS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC This dissertation is submitted to the University of Sheffield for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 ABSTRACT As Cole Porter’s most commercially successful Broadway musical, Kiss Me, Kate (1948) has been widely acknowledged as one of several significant works written during ‘the Golden age’ period of American musical theatre history. Through an in-depth examination of the genesis and reception of this musical and discussion of the extant analytical perspectives on the text, this thesis argues that Kiss Me, Kate has remained popular as a result of its underlying celebration of theatricality and of entertainment. Whereas previous scholarship has suggested that Porter and his co-authors, Sam and Bella Spewack, attempted to emulate Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! (1943) by creating their own ‘integrated musical’, this thesis demonstrates how they commented on contemporary culture, on popular art forms, and the sanctity of Shakespeare and opera in deliberately mischievous ways. By mapping the influence of Porter and the Spewacks’ previous work and their deliberate focus on theatricality and diversion in the development of this work, it shows how Kiss Me, Kate forms part of a wider trend in Broadway musicals. As a result, this study calls for a new analytical framework that distinguishes musicals like Kiss Me, Kate from the persistent methodologies that consider works exclusively through the lens of high art aesthetics. By acknowledging Porter and the Spewacks’ reflexive celebration of and commentary on entertainment, it advocates a new position for musical theatre research that will encourage the study of other similar stage and screen texts that incorporate themes from, and react to, the popular cultural sphere to which they belong.

Date________________ The final copy of this dissertation has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above-mentioned discipline. IRB Protocol # 15-0128 iii Prugh, Stephanie (PhD, Theatre) THE NEW ROAD TO BROADWAY Dissertation directed by Professor Bud Coleman Since the 1980s, a number of plays and musicals have transferred to Broadway from a professional nonprofit theatre. This growing trend was highlighted by the fact that a significant number of the 2015 and 2016 Tony nominated productions originated at or were produced by a nonprofit theatre. These professional nonprofit theatres, generally referred to as regional or resident theatres, are actively shaping the theatrical work that is appearing on the Great White Way. From 2000 - 2016, the Tony Award for Best New Musical has been awarded to nine productions that came from a non-profit theatre company; essentially the out-of-town tryout model that served as a popular method to work plays or musicals in the past has transformed into the regional/resident commercially enhanced model.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE GOLDEN AGE MUSICAL he quarter century separating the Broadway openings of the landmark musical play T Oklahoma! (1943) and the antipodal rock musical Hair (1968) is generally, though not universally, considered the “Golden Age” of the American musical theater. During this period between “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” and the dawning of “The Age of Aquarius,” the American musical theater evolved from its various pre-war incarnations into a globally recog- nized form of “legitimate” theater with multiple generic subspecies and an expanding network of links to international commerce and mass culture.
