  • Catalogue of Photographs of Performers at the Embassy Theatre
    Catalogue of Photographs of Performers and Shows in the Archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation The archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation hold more than 3000 artifacts, including more than 600 photographs of vaudevillians inscribed to Bud Berger (long-time stage man- ager at the Embassy Theatre, known as the Emboyd until 1952); more than 300 posters, playbills, programs, stools, and even guitars signed by the stars and casts of shows that have played at the Embassy Theatre over the past forty years, rang- ing from classic and current Broadway shows to acrobatic groups, choral ensembles, dance shows, ballet, stand-up comedians, rock bands, country singers, travel films, silent films, theatre organists, and so on; and hundreds of publicity photographs of performers, shows, and events at the theatre, primarily from the period following the establishment of the Embassy Theatre Foundation and its rescue of the theatre from the wrecking ball in 1975; and a nearly complete run of the journal of the American Theatre Organ Society. The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew. The publicity photographs are primarily of individ- ual performers, but a few shows are presented as well, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Barnum, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Cabaret, California Suite, Cats, A Christ- mas Carol, Dancin’, Evita, Gypsy, I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Same Time Next Year, Side by Side by Sondheim, and Ziegfeld: A Night at the Follies.

  • Shall We Dance? Ten Years After Taking Over the American Dance Theater, Judith Jamison -- Alvin Ailey's Astonishing Muse -- Celebrates with a Kennedy Center Honor
    Shall We Dance? Ten years after taking over the American Dance Theater, Judith Jamison -- Alvin Ailey's astonishing muse -- celebrates with a Kennedy Center Honor. By Joanne Kaufman Published Dec 27, 1999 For Judith Jamison, sitting is an aerobic activity. The former star -- and muse -- of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater slices her hands through the air, wiggles them alongside her head to illustrate a point, and waves them across her body with tsunami-like force. Perched on a platform chair in her office, Jamison, who's been the company's artistic director since Ailey's death in 1989, suddenly scooches around to point out her artificial hip ("Titanium," she clarifies) and the place in her thighs where surgeons implanted steel some years back. "I'm bionic," she says, now leaning forward, a characteristically warm smile making the long journey east to west across her broad, expressive face. Because the demands on her time and attention, not to mention her sound bites, are great -- and have gotten greater since she was named a recipient of this year's Kennedy Center Honors (the ceremony will be broadcast December 29 at 9 p.m. on Channel 2) -- Jamison tends to hop on board a conversation in the middle. "I'm the caretaker of spirit," she says by way of introduction. "I'm responsible for people who look like this" (she hauls out a cache of eight-by-ten glossies of company members) "and who can dance. That's Dwana Smallwood. And this is Bahiyah Sayyed. That's me directing. I just have gorgeous, gorgeous people.

  • Dissident Communication in Stand-Up Comedy
    ARTICLE COMUN. MÍDIA CONSUMO, SÃO PAULO, V. 14, N. 40, P. 160-179, MAY/AUG. 2017 DOI 10.18568/cmc.v14i40.1348 Dissident communication in stand-up comedy: the case of Arab and Muslim countries A comunicação dissidente na comédia stand-up: o caso dos países árabes e muçulmanos Jacques A. Wainberg1 Abstract: This study is a content analysis of jokes produced and presented by stand-up comedians that in various parts of the world deal with a common theme, the inclusion of the Arab and the Muslim communities in modernity. This kind of humor became popular in many countries of the Middle East and Africa, similar to what is occurring in other continents. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt nowadays tolerate, to some degree, the dissident humor proposed by such humorists. Seeing the Arab and Muslim societies laugh at themselves is a new and startling occurrence, since it breaks with the stereotypical image that they are unable to bear the satire and irony for being dominated by fear and conservatism. Keywords: Stand-up comedy; Humor; Joke; Dissidence Resumo: Este estudo analisa o conteúdo das piadas produzidas e apresenta- das por comediantes stand-up que, em várias partes do mundo, tratam de uma temática comum, a inserção do árabe e do muçulmano na modernidade. Este gênero de humor se difundiu em vários países do Oriente Médio e da África, à semelhança do que ocorre em outros continentes. Os governos de países como Arábia Saudita, Bahrein e Egito toleram hoje em dia, em algum grau, a dissi- dência proposta por tais humoristas.

His YouTube Fan Channel gets an average 375,000 views a month and he has tens of thousands of followers around the world on social media. Rainer’s first musical studies were at the piano, a student of Norma Fisher, continuing for three years as a conductor at Blackheath Conservatory - including master classes with George Hurst and János Fürst at the Royal Academy of Music. Rainer started his working life in concert agencies, managing some of the great artists of the world. At the same time he developed a hobby - performing stand-up comedy on the London circuit. Short, unpaid slots led to longer, paid appearances which gradually developed into a parallel career. In time, he realised that this was his true vocation and gave up his last straight musical job, Touring Manager of the London Festival Orchestra, to enter the world of professional comedy.
