Changing Identities & Perspectives FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS DISCUSS: Pre-Show Questions • Harvey’s plot revolves around the Dowd family and how they interact with each other. Over the course of the play they learn to make sacrifices for each other, and they redefine how they view one another. How do you define family? What kind of exceptions do you make for family? How do you treat your family members differently from other people? DISCUSS: Post-Show Questions • Harvey depicts one type of family from the 1940s. How have family dynamics changed since that time period? How is your family similar to Scenes from the 1949 Broadway or different from the Dowd family inHarvey ? production of Harvey.

  • Who Tells Your Story?: Intersections of Power, Domesticity, and Sexuality Relating to Rap and Song in the Musical Hamilton
    WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?: INTERSECTIONS OF POWER, DOMESTICITY, AND SEXUALITY RELATING TO RAP AND SONG IN THE MUSICAL HAMILTON By Tia Marie Harvey A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Musicology—Master of Arts 2019 ABSTRACT WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?: INTERSECTIONS OF POWER, DOMESTICITY, AND SEXUALITY RELATING TO RAP AND SONG IN THE MUSICAL HAMILTON By Tia Marie Harvey In January 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical premiered at The Public Theater in New York City. Later that year it moved to Broadway with an engagement at the Richard Rodgers Theater, followed by productions in Chicago and London. Commercially successful and critically acclaimed, Hamilton continues to hold significant cultural relevance in 2019. As a result of this musical’s cultural significance, it has the ability to communicate positive, but also limiting, aspects of our society. In this thesis, I examine the concept of rap as a musical language of power. To do this, I assert that characters in Hamilton who have power, and particularly when expressing that power, do so through rap. In contrast, when characters don’t have power, or are entering realms of the powerless (i.e. spaces gendered female), they do so through lyrical song. In chapter 1, I set up the divide between rap and song as it primarily translates among male characters and class. Chapter 2 is focused on the domestic sphere, and in chapter 3 I discuss sexuality. In the conclusion of this thesis, I revisit the character of Eliza and explore the perceived power of her role as storyteller and the way in which the themes I discuss illuminate many missed opportunities to present an interpretation of America’s founding that is truly revolutionary.

  • Rent Glossary of Terms
    Rent Glossary of Terms 11th Street and Avenue B CBGB’s – More properly CBGB & OMFUG, a club on Bowery Ave between 1st and 2nd streets. The following is taken from the website http://www.cbgb.com. It is a history written by Hilly Kristal, the founder of CBGB and OMFUG. The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?" I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES." The next question is always, "but what does OMFUG stand for?" and I say "That's more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS." And what is a gormandizer? It’s a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC. […] The obvious follow up question is often "is this your favorite kind of music?" No!!! I've always liked all kinds but half the radio stations all over the U.S. were playing country music, cool juke boxes were playing blues and bluegrass as well as folk and country. Also, a lot of my artist/writer friends were always going off to some fiddlers convention (bluegrass concert) or blues and folk festivals. So I thought it would be a whole lot of fun to have my own club with all this kind of music playing there. Unfortunately—or perhaps FORTUNATELY—things didn't work out quite the way I 'd expected. That first year was an exercise in persistence and a trial in patience. My determination to book only musicians who played their own music instead of copying others, was indomitable.

As demonstrated by the flurry of articles in specialized columns and websites like “Playbill” (“Original Rent Cast”) and “Entertainment Weekly” (Derschowitz), blogs such as “Broadway Musical Blog” (Rigsbee), and tweets (“#BroadwayCon”), the convention had a meaningful significance for fans of the musical Rent, which celebrated 20 years from its opening off-Broadway during that weekend. More somberly, the festivities were also a chance to remember its creator, Jonathan Larson, who died the night before the first off-Broadway preview. However, the film adaptation of Rent (Chris Columbus, 2005) has not enjoyed the same enduring popularity of the stage musical.

  • Press Release: Clear Space Presents INTO the WOODS May 3
    P R E S S R E L E A S E From: Clear Space Theatre Company Contact: Wesley Paulson Phone: 302.227.2270 Email: [email protected] April 17, 2019: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE David Button steps out of his director’s chair and INTO THE WOODS at Clear Space On Friday, May 3, David Button, Artistic Director for Clear Space Theatre, steps back onto the Clear Space stage for INTO THE WOODS. The show, which first opened on Broadway in 1987, was nominated for 10 Tony Awards and won three, including those for Best Book (James Lapine) and Best Score (Stephen Sondheim). Asked what it was about this show which lured him onto the stage (for the first time since 2016), Button replied, “I became familiar with INTO THE WOODS when I was in high school, and immediately fell in love with both the artistry of the interweaving stories and its musicality. This show demonstrates that musical theatre – no matter how frivolous at times – can have a heart and substantial meaning. How could I resist being in such a show?!” Those interweaving stories feature many characters familiar to audiences: Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk fame), and Little Red Riding Hood are among them. Each has a familiar wish s/he is seeking to fulfill, be it to attend a ball, get milk from a cow, or provide bread to a grandmother. But our fairy tale friends are not the only wishful folk going INTO THE WOODS: On their own quest are a Baker (Button) and his wife (Erin Bobby), who seek the ingredients for a spell to break the Witch’s (Lorraine Steinhoff) curse which has left them childless.

Skip to Content Search Cal Poly News News Cal i fo r nia Pol yt e c hni c St a t e Unive r s i ty April 8, 2005 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LISA WOSKE (805) 756-7110 Cal Poly Arts Brings Tony Award-Winning Musical 'contact' to PAC April 26 SAN LUIS OBISPO -- The winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Choreography, “contact” is the musical Time Magazine called “exhilarating, magical! Something really fresh.” Cal Poly Arts presents “contact” on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 8 p.m. at the Christopher Cohan Center. The show is directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman (recreated by Fergus Logan), written by John Weidman, and boasts a striking cast of 24 dancers/actors. “’contact’…is one of the rare absolutely perfect things I have ever seen in a theater,” reports famed entertainment columnist Liz Smith. “Not since Bob Fosse and Michael Bennett has a choreographer-director made such an intelligent creative impact on the American musical scene. “Everything about this evening is delightful,” Smith continues. “The first part is erotic and playful, the second is Lucille Ball-type funny and the third is a tour de force of contemporary dance. You’ll be sitting on the edge of your seat, electrified.” Ben Brantley of the New York Times agrees: “’contact’ is a sustained endorphin rush of an evening. Throbbing with wit, sex appeal and a perfectionist’s polish, ’contact’ restores the pleasure principle to the American musical.
