  • Nashville Community Theatre: from the Little Theatre Guild
    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

Oklahoma!’s Tryouts in New Haven and Boston Ⅳ. Oklahoma! on Broadway Ⅴ. Shaping The American Audience Ⅵ. The Embodiment of Patriotic Strategy VII. Conclusion Ⅰ. Introduction American musical theatre is considered to be a major American contribution to world theatre. From Oscar G. Brockett to Stacy E. Wolf, most theatre historians agree that musical theatre has played a significant role in the history of American theatre. Nonetheless, it had been dismissed in the narrative of American theatre history, and only recently has it been mentioned in theatre history books. When historians and scholars write about the important moments in musical theatre, it is inevitable to mention the musicals of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to talk about the elements and the new forms they offered; Oklahoma! has been taken 4 영미연구 제34집 up as a scholarly subject and used as a category in the periodization of American musical theatre―known as the golden age (1943-1968)1) and the beginning of the “integrated” musical.2) Recent historians have re-shifted conversations about musical theatre scholarship and representation by interrogating the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein from a different lens. However, not much is known about how the duo shaped the American audience. In what follows, this study demonstrates how Rodgers and Hammerstein shaped the American audience in Oklahoma! through calculated media management and consciously planned deployment of patriotic strategy embedded within the show in respond to the cultural and historical context of the 1930s and early 1940s, and ultimately, my research explores how the collaborators are constructed as an all-American brand.

Through cultural parody satirizing both the Theatre Guild and Broadway commercialism, the creators of The Garrick Gaieties of 1925, 1926 and 1930 not only used the revue form to destabilize cultural hierarchies and address tensions concerning art and commerce, but to bridge the distinct traditions of the Broadway musical and art theatre during the culturally dynamic years of the 1920s. The Garrick Gaieties revues of the mid-1920s are legendary for launching the Broadway careers of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Bringing Rodgers and Hart ‘their first major recognition’ as a songwriting partnership (Hischak 2007: 92), these witty revues produced the team’s first nationally popular hits: ,- SMT_7.1_Cantu_45-60.indd 45 5/11/13 9:23:51 PM EYqY;Yflm the urban and bucolic odes ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Mountain Greenery’, respec- tively.

Booth's credits include science fiction classics like the ant-themed ‘Them!’ (1951) and the original ‘Outer Limits’ TV show (the episode "ZZZZZ", also insect themed; during it's production John F. Kennedy was assassinated). Booth even guest-starred on Ron Harper's series "Garrison's Gorillas" ("Bankers' Hours") but doesn't remember anything of import about that.. He would eventually work with Ron again as Zaius in the ‘Planet of the Apes’ TV series. Of course there’s much more to Booth than just that but it’s best we hear it in his own words: JEFF: First of all, Booth, I want to wish you a happy birthday. about that.
