I went there to enlist her partic­ ipation in a health education program I was developing for a hospital in the community. She welcomed me with a warm smile and big, brown, twinkling eyes that illuminated her caramel­ colored face. With a gentle wave of her hand she offered me a seat on a couch in the living room and after adjusting her headtie, which matched her orange and red African dress, sat b.,side me. We talked like old friends, first about the numerous plaques decorating the Jiving room walls, then about the program, in which she readily agreed to participate. Needless to say I was delighted, but what made me even happier was her accepting me as a member of The Family which, for her, included everyone of African descent. For Alma Vessells John was the quintessential community mother who dedicated her life to serving her people, most of whom, she said, "are God-fearing, hardworking and upstanding citizens. And there isn't anything wrong with the other five percent that more love, more understanding and more opportunity wouldn't help." Sister John, as she insisted on being called, helped people. I remember those Saturday mornings when she would share a wealth of information with actors, students, entrepreneurs who came to her place seeking assistance in starting a career, developing a -- ~ business, or on locating grants to finance a college education.

  • The Creation and Development of Rent by Jonathan Larson
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON Elizabeth Titrington, Master of Arts, 2007 Directed By: Professor Richard King Chair, Department of Musicology Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success , the hit musical Rent by Jonathan Larson has received scant attention in academic literature. The story of Rent has been told and retold in the popular media, but a look at Larson’s own drafts, notes, and other personal wri tings adds another important and largely missing voice – Larson’s own. In this study, I use the Jonathan Larson Collection, donated to the Library of Congress in 2004 , to examine this seminal work and composer by tracing Rent ’s development and documenting L arson’s creative process. My analysis of material from the Larson Collection and the interviews of others involved in Rent ’s development reveal s the story of how this unconventional rock musical made it to the stage, highlighting the importance of visio n, but also of revision and collaboration. “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON By Elizabeth Corbin Titrington Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryl and, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2007 Advisory Committee: Professor Richard King , Chair Professor Jonathan Dueck Professor Robert Provine © Copyright by Elizabeth Titrington 2007 Preface Although I cannot claim the status of Rent head – I do not know every word to “La Vie Bohème” by heart or have a website dedicated to the show – I admit to approach ing this project as a fan as well as scho lar.
