Taglines the Newsletter of the Theatre Arts Guild, Inc TAGLines The Newsletter of the Theatre Arts Guild, Inc. – March 2005 Mary Carrick, President Daena Schweiger, Chair/Editor www.theatreartsguild.com Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Lost Column by Daena Schweiger TAG When I was a kid I used to read Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. Titles such as Mystery of the N IGHT O UT Hidden Staircase, The Haunted Bridge, The Clue of the Tapping Heels; The Secrets of the Caves, The House on the Cliff, and The Disappearing Floor were a few of my favorites. Six years ago I moved from my home in mid-town to the far reaches of West Omaha, and although my new home The Interrogation of Miriam had more than enough room to accommodate the obnoxious amount of sheer crap I had compiled Thursday, March 3rd in my 30 years on earth, I didn’t feel like hauling it all out to my new digs. So, I decided to purge 8:00 PM anything that I hadn’t touched in the last 10 years. Bye-bye Nancy. See ya Frank and Joe. Don’t Baby D. Inc. let the door hit you on the way out. I can hear you already. “Where the heck is she going with this?” I’ll explain. I have been on the Never Too Late theatre scene since 2000. I came in as a writer, and that’s how people got to know me. I’ve been Wednesday, March 30 fortunate enough since to have shared my time walking the boards with some amazing talent, and 7:30 PM been blessed directing them as well. Consequently, the writing has been somewhat pushed Grande Olde Players aside, like those Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books of my youth. Mr. Roberts So my writing is a little rusty. Heck, I’m A LOT rusty. I agonize writing something as simple as a Thursday, March 31 program bio. In fact, I’ve already read and re-read what I’ve written above at least a half dozen 8:00 PM times, just to make sure it sounds good. Bellevue Little Theatre My job as the newsletter editor is easy. Our fabulous membership does the writing for me (for which I’ll always be grateful). I just cut and paste everything in. Piece of cake. I can handle this __________________________ newsletter stuff, no problem. Except…. well… I have a problem. I have to write a column this month. And not just any column. The FRONT PAGE column. Oops. What in the world am I going to write about? See, this “writing thing” wasn’t in my job description when I signed up to be editor. T HIS I SSUE My job is to cut and paste, remember? On Stage News Hence, we come full circle. “The Mystery of the Lost Column” is this month’s hair raising adventure – just in time for the Ides of March! How will I handle this? Will I call on my friends The Green Room / Auditions George and Bess for help, or will I go it alone, in true Nancy Drew style? My hands are tied, the water is rising, and time is running out. Think, Daena……….. think! Other Good Stuff A-HA! Go back to the first mystery you ever solved, the one you agonized over for hours. That will Theatre Planning Calendar fill the white space! That will finish your column! That will boost your confidence (and your ego). __________________________ They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha! They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho…. Daena Schweiger (Newsletter Editor) currently serves as the Newsletter Chair for TAG and is the Artistic Director of the Shelterbelt Theatre. She made her writing debut with Curse of the Midwife for N EW Shelterskelter 4. Other writing credits include Of The Dead Speak Kindly or Not at All and Busby’s Chair for Shelterskelter 6, The Anniversary Waltz and The Thee Way for From the Shelterbelt with Love; The Weakest Link, The Revenge of Baby Jane, Tell Me What Scares You and The J. Doe Project MEMBERS for Shelterskelter 7; Boum-Chicka-Boum-Boum for From the Shelterbelt with Love 2, The Music Box for Baby D. Inc’s ‘Reunions” and a full-length play titled Love is Strange. There are no new members - Editor’s note: This is what happens when one is forced to work “outside the box.” Hopefully you won’t have to for March endure my insanity in future issues. The views expressed are not necessarily those of TAG or its Board of Directors. No animals were harmed during the writing of this column.

    KEENE, Carolyn Harriet Stratemeyer Adams Geboren: 1892. Overleden: 1982 Zoals veel juniorenmysteries, is de Nancy Drew-serie bedacht en werd (althans in het begin) de plot geschetst door Edward Stratemeyer [> Franklin W. Dixon] van het Stratemeyer Concern. Zijn dochter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams nam later de uitgeverij over en claimde lange tijd de schrijver te zijn van àlle Nancy Drew-verhalen vanaf 1930 tot 1982. Onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat dit niet het geval was. De Nancy-verhalen werden, evenals andere Stratemeyer-series, geschreven door een aantal voorheen anonieme professionele schrijvers, waarvan de belangrijkste Mildred A. Wirt Benson (zie onder) was tot het moment dat Harriet Adams in 1953 (vanaf nummer 30) inderdaad begon met het schrijven van nieuwe delen en ook de oude delen vanaf 1959 reviseerde. Opmerkelijk en uniek is de zorgvuldigheid waarmee geprobeerd werd alle sporen omtrent de ‘echte’ auteurs uit te wissen. Byzantijnse plotten en samenzweringen werden gesmeed om veranderde copyrights; dossiers van The Library of Congress verdwenen en niet bestaande overheidsambtenaren werden opgevoerd om de namen van de ware schrijvers uit de boeken te laten verdwijnen.

    Nancy Drew: Location, Location, Location by Pam Horack Page 15 Nancy’s World (to me) In real estate, the mantra is “Location, Location, Location”. As in a story, the right setting can be an effective plot device and can be used to evoke specific feelings. The Nancy Drew books often used a location to create the backdrop for the mysterious and adventurous. As a child, I was able to use my grandparents’ home as a true reference for many of the Nancy Drew settings, thus bringing the stories to life and turning me into Nancy Drew Green’s Folly, located in Halifax County, Virginia, was home to my maternal grandparents. As my mother was raised there, our family visited frequently. The estate has served many functions through the years: county courthouse, a racetrack, a farm, and currently an 18-hole golf course, which was originally developed by my grandfather, John G. Patterson, Jr. As a child with a vivid imagination, my senses were aroused by mysterious features of the old home. This was the world of my childhood and it made a natural location for many of my adventures with Nancy Drew. As many of the Nancy Drew stories involved large old estates, my mind easily substituted the real world for the fictitious. There seemed to be too many coincidences and similarities for it to be otherwise. I found my imagination using Green’s Folly as the backdrop for the following stories: 1. The Hidden Staircase 2. The Mystery at Lilac Inn 3. The Sign of the Twisted Candles 4.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Iowa Research Online The Ghost of Nancy Drew GEOFFREY S. LAPIN "It would be a shame if all that money went to the Tophams! They will fly higher than ever!" Thus begins the first book in a series of titles that has whetted the literary appetites of young readers for well over fifty years. The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene was to set the tone of juvenile adventure stories that is still leading young folks into the joys of reading the standard classics of literature. Carolyn Keene has been writing the series books chronicling the adventures of Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls since 1929. With over 175 titles published, the author is still going strong, presently producing over fifteen new books each year. Her titles have been translated into at least twelve different lan­ guages, and sales records state that the volumes sold number in the hundreds of millions. More than the mystery of the endurance of such unlikely literature is the question of who Carolyn Keene is and how one person could possibly be the author of such a record number of "best-sellers." Numerous literary histories offer conflicting information concerning the life of Ms Keene. The one common fact is that there exists no actual person by that name. Carolyn Keene is a pseudonym for the author of the series books. Carolyn Keene was Edward Stratemeyer. Another source says that she was Harriet Adams. Yet others say that she was Edna Squire, Walter Karig, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrad, Margaret Scherf, Grace Grote, and a plethora of others.

  • 75 Years of Mystery Unfolds, Part II: the Case of the Cliffhanger
    75 Years of Mystery Unfolds: Part 2 The Case of the Cliffhanger Conundrum By Jennifer Fisher, ©2005 Nancy Drew cliffhangers were the proverbial hook–readers were instantly caught up in Nancy’s world, eager to turn the page, wondering What would Nancy Drew do? Nancy Drew mysteries were real page turners–a legacy that Edward Stratemeyer helped foster by repeatedly using this literary device in his stories–a device which ghostwriters like Mildred Wirt Benson and Walter Karig used with such flair. Early cliffhangers from the 1930s were intensely melodramatic and suspenseful, imploring us to journey onward with Nancy to the climactic end. By the 1970s, cliffhangers were much less descriptive, choppier and more action-oriented cliffhangers were packed into each book. The 1970s cliffhangers had a Scooby Doo-esque quality, lacking in high melodrama with a comedic quality at times. Nonetheless, though page turners, these cliffhangers were much less evocative of suspense at its best when compared to the earlier volumes in the series. In the 1930s, Nancy was locked in a closet and left “to starve” (The Secret of the Old Clock, p. 132), Nathan Gombet, whose “face was convulsed with rage,” was poised to strike Nancy (The Hidden Staircase, p. 7), Nancy and her chums were “hopelessly lost” in the mountains in The Secret at Shadow Ranch (p. 134), Nancy boldly confronted villain Felix Raybolt after dark at the scene of the crime and demanded “What are you doing here?” (The Clue in the Diary, p. 179), villain Frank Semitt “with a snarl” intended to topple the ladder Nancy swayed on at the tower window in The Sign of the Twisted Candles (p.
