On that Friday evening at 7:30pm, Cheyenne Jackson will become the first male headliner to be featured in the fabulous Broadway @ NOCCA series who’s not wearing a dress for the occasion. The sound of a glass ceiling crashing is a wonderful thing. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jackson from his home in Los Angeles and he comes off as decent a person on the inside as he is handsome on the outside. The trip here for B@N will be his first visit to New Orleans. ”I’m excited about coming to New Orleans and wish I had more time to spend there,” Jackson said, “but I’m busy with various projects [he had just Cheyenne Jackson gotten back from working in Arizona] (Photo by Adam Bouska) and I just got married.” Sorry, guys, but While the show was in previews, Jason Landau’s the lucky one.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by British Columbia's network of post-secondary digital repositories BLOCKING THE SCHOOL PLAY: US, JAPANESE, AND UK TELEVISUAL HIGH SCHOOLS, SPATIALITY, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TEEN IDENTITY by Jennifer Bomford B.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 1999 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2016 © Jennifer Bomford, 2016 ABSTRACT School spaces differ regionally and internationally, and this difference can be seen in television programmes featuring high schools. As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.

    February 3, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954.776.1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954.765.5814 SPEND A VALENTINE’S DAY WITH BROADWAY’S BEST AS CHEYENNE JACKSON PERFORMS IN SIRIUS XM RADIO STAR SETH RUDETSKY’S BROADWAY CONCERT SERIES FORT LAUDERDALE - Seth Rudetsky’s Broadway Concert Series at the Parker Playhouse, produced by Mark Cortale, presents a Valentine Day’s concert for Broadway musical lovers with Cheyenne Jackson on Saturday, February 14 at 8 p.m. Rudetsky, Sirius XM satellite Broadway channel host, accompanies Jackson on piano and asks probing, funny, revealing questions of the Broadway, television and screen star to create a seamless mix of intimate behind-the-scenes stories and a stellar evening of Broadway show tunes. On Broadway, Jackson most recently starred in Encore’s production of The Most Happy Fella at City Center, following acclaimed performances in Finian’s Rainbow, Damn Yankees, Xanadu, Thoroughly Modern Millie and All Shook Up. Off-Broadway he was seen in the original cast of Altar Boyz. In concert, Jackson has sold-out Carnegie Hall twice: The Power of Two in 2010 with Michael Feinstein, followed by his solo debut concert with the NY Pops Music of the Mad Men Era in 2011. The Power of Two was hailed by the New York Times as “passionate,” “impeccably harmonized,” and “groundbreaking.” Music of the Mad Men Era was lauded by the NY Daily News, which said, “Cheyenne Jackson has got it all and he showed it all: the voice, the moves, the quirky self-effacing humor.

  • Queer Identities and Glee
    IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music August 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data.
