What a story they would tell! More than half a century ago, an amazingly committed group of dreamers set out to create the unlikely theatre that we continue to enjoy today. And what a dream! In 1961, Arrow Rock lacked its current picturesque environs. According to Founding Artistic Director, Henry Swanson, “The town was essentially in the last stages of decay and disrepair...” The Lyceum’s first home was in an abandoned church dating back to the 1870s, the lobby through which you entered into the theatre today. With the hope of keeping it from being torn down and salvaged for lumber, two Arrow Rock couples, the Lawrences and the Argubrights, purchased the church and began thinking about starting a theatre. Swanson, a professor at Christian College in Columbia was engaged as the theatre’s first Artistic Director. Swanson said, “I have always felt that good plays, well-acted, could draw an audience anywhere so I told them I would take a crack at it.” Swanson produced the first season for $3,500, $1,800 of which went toward a new roof. When Mr. Swanson retired from the Theatre in 1979, Michael Bollinger was named the Lyceum’s second Artistic Director. During Mr. Bollinger’s 25 year tenure, he expanded The Lyceum’s reach by introducing 20th century musicals to the repertoire, increasing attendance dramatically. In 1983, The Lyceum became the first theatre in Missouri to receive an award from the Missouri Arts Council (MAC). By 1990, thanks to increasing attendance and with the help of state income tax credits granted under the Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and generous supporters, The Lyceum was able to raise several hundred thousand dollars to expand the theatre from 200 seats to the new 416-seat auditorium that you sit in today. In 2004 The Lyceum’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Philip Coffield, a Lyceum veteran actor, director and 20 year Associate Artistic Director, as the theatre’s third Artistic Director. Mr. Coffield made plans for his first season, cast the shows and hired the many company members, but regrettably, due to mounting health issues, was unable to complete his first season as Artistic Director. Quin Gresham, a fellow Lyceum veteran and recently appointed Associate Artistic Director, stepped in as Artistic Director

Unusually, polo insiders have been loath to make predictions. Even the professionals chose to sit on the fence when contributing to the annual Polo Times predictions for the season. “So many teams and combinations have changed that it is difficult to know how it’s going to turn out,” says Max Routledge, the 21-year-old five- goal professional and one of the Eng- lish game’s rising stars.

  • Bike Polo Story

    Bike Polo Story

    FORewoRD The game of bicycle polo was conceived in 1891 and is a direct descendant of the very ancient game of horse polo which dates back to 600 BC, and the modern game of hardcourt bike polo - one of the world’s fastest growing urban sports is considered the edgier first cousin of the 19th century grass version. From its genesis in late 19th century Ireland through to its modern day incarnation, this book unravels the history of this fascinating and misunderstood sport. It charts key moments, explores the games pioneers and gets under the skin of some of today’s star exponents. And there are some surprises along the way… Before Hoy, Pendleton, Farah and Ennis cast a golden glow over London 2012, 104 years earlier, bike polo pedalled into the 1908 London Olympics as an exhibition sport. And it may surprise you to know that Princes; Phillip, Wills and Harry have all be known to ditch the horse in favour of the bike… This is the compelling and eventful story of the history of bike polo. Enjoy the journey… 1891 Bicycle Polo, a game of strenuous amusement is born... n 1891, having retired from racing – ‘ordinary’ and tricycle – the Irish cycling Ienthusiast Richard J McCready (hereafter referred to as ‘RJ’) set about inventing a game that would provide ‘strenuous amusement’ and a welcome diversion from editing his beloved Irish Cyclist. His invention? ‘Polo on Wheels’. Following the inaugural game at the Scalp in Co. Wicklow, Richard J McCready Cycling magazine observed the following: “the game of cycling polo promises to be immensely popular…and not at all so dangerous as would appear from the title.” Quick to show his hand was the mysterious Cosmo- Cyclo who wrote an enthusiastic letter published in Cycling stating that since the introduction of pneumatic tyres “cycle polo is not only possible but exciting and enjoyable too!” In Ireland, the sport rapidly gained momentum, with the wider racing fraternity quickly picking up on the benefits of a game that would efficiently hone “..the hands, the head and the eye..” of the racing man.

  • Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)

    Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)

    Introduction Everything began with the movie Moulin Rouge (2001). Since I was so obsessed with this hit film, I couldn’t but want to know more about this particular genre - musical films. Then I started to trace the history of this genre back to Hollywood’s classical musical films. It’s interesting that musical films have undergone several revivals and are usually regarded as the products of escapism. Watching those protagonists singing and dancing happily, the audience can daydream freely and forget about the cruel reality. What are the aesthetic artifices of this genre so enchanting that it always catches the eye of audience generation after generation? What kinds of ideal life do these musical films try to depict? Do they (musical films) merely escape from reality or, as a matter of fact, implicitly criticize the society? In regard to the musical films produced by Hollywood, what do they reflect the contemporary social, political or economic situations? To investigate these aspects, I start my research project on the Hollywood musical film genre from the 1950s (its Classical Period) to 2002. However, some people might wonder that among all those Hollywood movies, what is so special about the musical films that makes them distinguish from the other types of movies? On the one hand, the musical film genre indeed has several important contributions to the Hollywood industry, and its influence never wanes even until today. In need of specialty for musical film production, many talented professional dancers and singers thus get the chances to join in Hollywood and prove themselves as great actors (actresses), too.

    PRESSMEDDELANDE GÖTEBORG 2019-03-22 essmeddelande från 2E Group AB (publ) 2Entertain gör en samproduktion med marknadsledande aktör i Tyskland 2Entertain gör tillsammans med BB Promotion en samproduktion av musikalen Flashdance. BB Promotion är en av Tysklands ledande aktörer inom produktion och marknadsföring av musikal och show och ingår i Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), global marknadsledare inom segmentet live entertainment. BB Promotion kommer att vara huvudansvariga för en turné med Flashdance, med 2Entertain som samproducent. 2Entertain gjorde under 2018 en satsning i egen regi på den tysktalande marknaden genom att under hösten spela Flashdance på nio orter i Tyskland och Österrike. Föreställningen kritikerrosades och prisnominerades och sammanlagt 61 000 biljetter såldes, vilket dock inte var tillräckligt för att nå målsättningen på 90 000 biljetter. 2Entertain offentliggjorde därför den 30 januari 2019 att satsningen på den tysktalande marknaden, i egen regi, avbrutits. Efteranalysen visade tydligt att för att nå framgång i de tysktalande regionerna är ett samarbete med en stark kommersiell partner med kunskap om främst biljettförsäljning på aktuell marknad avgörande. BB Promotion är Tysklands största turnéproducent och ingår i det engelska bolaget Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), global marknadsledare inom segmentet live entertainment. BB Promotion har under 30 år framgångsrikt producerat turnéer i de tysktalande länderna med alla de stora musikalerna från Broadway och West End och de är specialister på PR och marknadsföring av musikaler i Tyskland, Schweiz och Luxemburg. BB Promotion ser en stor potential i den produktion av Flashdance som 2Entertain producerade och spelade under hösten 2018 och en turné är nu planerad. Turnén kommer att besöka 16 städer i Tyskland, Schweiz och Luxemburg och totalt kommer 113 föreställningar att spelas.
  • Names of Companion Animals: Rovers in the Onomasticon?

    Names of Companion Animals: Rovers in the Onomasticon?

    Names of Companion Animals: Rovers in the Onomasticon? Katharina Leibring Sweden Abstract The names of companion animals could, from the outside, be seen as freely roving elements in the onomasticon. There are few or no legal restrictions on their given names, so, in theory, a dog, or a cat, could have any kind of word creation as a name. Dogs and other companion animals play a larger role as family members in many countries than ever before, something that possibly has an influence on their names. My major aim here is to establish, from a socio-onomastic viewpoint, whether animal owners in general take advantage of this apparent liberty, or whether they restrict themselves to using otherwise well-established name groups, e.g. anthroponyms or older zoonyms. The first part of the study is devoted to dog names. A large corpus of such names used in Sweden during the last decade is examined. The features of the most popular names given to dogs are studied and their relationship to popular baby names is discussed. This is combined with a study of dog names attested only once in the corpus. The results are supplemented with some findings on general attitudes to names of companion animals, taken from a recent questionnaire survey of animal owners. * * * Introduction It is well known that dogs and other companion animals play an important role as family members in many countries today (Thorsen 2001, Leibring 2015a, Saarelma 2012).1 This close relationship could and does have an influence on their names – more popular anthroponyms are now used for animals than seems to have been the case in earlier times.

Kaplan* ABSTRACT In recent decades, studios that own film and television properties have developed business models that exploit the copyrights in those materials in every known market and in all currently conceivable forms of entertainment and merchandising. For the most part, uniform laws and parallel industry cultures permit smooth integration across formats. But theater is different. The work-made-for-hire provisions that allow corporations to function as the authors of the works they contract to create do not easily align with the culture and standard contract provisions of live theater. Conflicts arise when material that begins as a Hollywood property tries to make Carol M.
