LEMON TREE – Will Holt When I was just a little boy, my father said to me Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree. Don’t put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree. CHORUS: Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. Beneath that lemon tree one day, my love and I did lie. A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the sun rose in the sky. We passed the summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree. The music of her laughter hid my father’s words from me. CHORUS One day she left without a word, she took away the sun And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done. She left me for another, it’s a common tale but true. A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you... CHORUS Lemon tree... lemon tree... Lemon tree... lemon tree "Lemon Tree" is a folk song written by Will Holt in the late 1950s. The tune is based on the Brazilian folk song Meu limão, meu limoeiro, arranged by José Carlos Burle in 1937 and made popular by Brazilian singer Wilson Simonal. The song has been recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, Chad & Jeremy, The Kingston Trio, The Seekers, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Sandie Shaw, and Roger Whittaker. In 1965, Trini Lopez recorded the most successful version of the song which hit number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. .

1937 the Andrews Sisters
Hans Olav Løkken Stjørdal www.historiefortelleren.no 1937 The Andrews Sisters Hun hadde gått noen meter bak de andre og tenkt på broren Ola. Han hadde overtatt Lekåa, var sersjant, skogvokter og nå "bankdirektør". Det siste forstod hun ikke helt hva var for noe. Hun tenkte på far Per, og mor Kari da, som nettopp var død, "uff nei". Og på brevene fra søsknene, Kristen og Ingeborg i Amerika. Brevene som hadde overbevist henne om å utvandre til Amerika. Det skjedde så mye på kort tid. Soffi følte det var ei tung bør å bære. En vanskelig avgjørelse. De hadde flyttet litt att og fram i byen, etter å ha giftet seg i voksen alder. Nå hadde de satt seg ned i Hårstadlia ved Bell, snudd seg en siste gang til dette øyeblikket som ville gi slik smerte. De to eldste sønnene skjønte nok hva som rørte mor og far så sterkt. En skulle tro at de andre ungene også skjønte at dette skulle bli det siste glimtet av omgivelsene deres mor hadde hatt som tumleplass. Nå satt de der alle sammen på bakken, stirret mest tilbake i tomhet, vel vitende om at dette ville bli det siste de så av "heimplassen". Aldri mer skulle de få se "heimen te'o mor" og Selbu igjen. Sterke minner. Sterke følelser. Mor Soffi tørker en tåre. Den snart toårige gamle Olga klatrer opp i hennes fang, krever litt oppmerksomhet - alt var likevel så stille, så forunderlig stille. Olga bryter brått stillheten ved et barns utålmodige lyder - en tone vandrer avsted, fremover - et forvarsel om noe som skulle komme.

Page 3 of 4 Page 4 of 4 November 1, 2014 From Month to Month, in a Work of the Eerie and the Oddball ‘October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things’ By Alexis Soloski A sad tale’s best for winter, Shakespeare tells us. So what’s the right kind of story for this time of year? A spooky one, of course. Old Sound Room, a young company built by recent Yale School of Drama graduates, has five on offer. In “October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things,” an enjoyably eerie if overwrought piece, the ensemble adapts yarns plucked from “Fragile Things,” a collection of miscellany by the fantasy writer Neil Gaiman. On a set bedecked with cobwebs and dead trees, five performers (including the director, Michael McQuilken) play various months of the year. Wearing ragtag clothes and the sort of stage makeup that resembles a wasting disease, they take turns telling anecdotes and legends. (What of the other seven months? I guess it’s a very short year.) August offers a standard-issue chiller; February, a sad romance; May, a metafictional jumble; March, a bit of faux-Victoriana; and October, an early version of Mr. Gaiman’s much-loved “The Graveyard Book.” Much of this is in the story theater vein, with the months narrating the characters’ actions. Mr. Gaiman has a restless, playful intelligence and a fan boy’s devotion to oddball genre, and the performances are deft and spirited.

ST. JAMES THEATER (Originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44Th Street
Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1374 ST. JAMES THEATER (originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44th Street. Built 1926-27; architects, Warren & Wetmore. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1015, Lot 54. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. James Theater (originally Erlanger Theater) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 70). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The St. James (built as the Erlanger) Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926-27, the St. James was designed by the prominent firm of Warren & Wetmore as the last Broadway theater erected for Abraham Erlanger. Abraham Erlanger had been a principal in the infamous Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Syndicate, which had dominated the American theater industry for several decades on either side of the turn of the century. After the break-up of the Syndicate, Klaw and Erlanger went their separate ways, and each built theaters named for themselves.

Thru The Stage Door has been created by seasoned educators and combined with technology to bring lessons alive in the classroom and engage students. Whether you are teaching the Arts, Social Studies or even Science, you will find rich Broadway content and curriculum compliant lessons. When I was seven years old, my parents took me to see the original Broadway cast of Mame on Broadway. Now, more than four decades later I can still remember every moment of that visceral experience. I knew at that moment that this was the world in which I wanted to work and for 2 decades now, I wake up every morning thrilled that I’ve been fortunate to work in this truly magical world. I was also incredibly lucky to grow up in a school with a dynamic arts program that fueled my desire daily. Sadly, arts programs have been cut in most schools now and an entire generation is growing up without the many skills arts can teach. Broadway Theatrical, LLC is committed to keeping the arts in the classroom with Thru The Stage Door. As a companion piece to seeing a Broadway show or as stand-alone lessons, Thru The Stage Door is designed to stimulate creativity, inspire collaboration and engage a new generation of theatre-goers.

Modern Theatre: Actor’S Musical Requirements in the Educational Process of Kazakhstan
International Research Journal of Arts and Social Sciences, Vol. 2(9) pp. 220-227, October, 2013 DOI: http:/dx.doi.org/10.14303/irjass.2013.067 Available online http://www.interesjournals.org/IRJASS Copyright © 2013 International Research Journals Review Modern theatre: actor’s musical requirements in the educational process of Kazakhstan *Kabyl Khalykov and Y еslam Nurtazin 407/54, Seifullin str., 050050, Almaty, Kazakhstan *Corresponding author Email:[email protected] Accepted October 14, 2013 The article is devoted to the problem of investigation of the popular genre of musical and its development, particularities of the specifics of the musical theatre in its merger with the contemporary music, comparison and application of the classical elements of choreographic art. At this stage of the development of this genre, there is a problem aroused of specific merging of economics and art, in other words, “popularization” of musical. Based on popularization of the new musical-dramatic genre, there appears a new fusion of art and production, management, advertising and mass media. Amongst these, the problem of performing mastership of musical actors in Kazakhstan is being studied. The aim of the article is to achieve a theoretical discourse of particularities, history of development and popularization of the new scenic genre of musicals. The task of the investigation are studying the activity of the founders of musical, collation and analysis of works, theories of theatrical art, anthologies, memoirs, articles and theater productions; assessment of musical and autonomous art forms (synthesis of acting art, choreography, singing, stage design, drama, music composition); analysis of characteristic of the activities of the musical founders (Leonard Bernstein, Andrew Webber, Riccardo, Richard Rogers, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter).The result of solving these tasks should be the formation of the cohesive picture of the history of the development of the musical, as well as its current position in the arena and in the Kazakh theatrical art.
