Material: Abstract: The DuPont Theatre, originally called The Playhouse, presents professional theatrical productions from Broadway and other notable venues in downtown Wilmington, Delaware since 1913. The Playhouse was the concept of three top executives of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont Company) who realized that Wilmington needed a facility for cultural as well as business purposes. The DuPont Theatre records consist primarily of public relations and advertising materials related to the theater's operation. As such, they present a sequence of changing tastes in popular entertainment in a medium-sized American city. ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note The DuPont Theatre, originally called The Playhouse, presents professional theatrical productions from Broadway and other notable venues in downtown Wilmington, Delaware since 1913. The Playhouse was the concept of three top executives of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont Company) who realized that Wilmington needed a facility for cultural as well as business purposes. The company was in the middle of a transition from an traditional explosives manufacturer run from a domestic-scaled office building on the plant site to an international chemical company with a new, modern corporate headquarters in the center of town. To serve the growing number of executives, - Page 3- DuPont Theatre records 2150 scientists, engineers and important visitors, the company provided, as part of its headquarters, a first-class hotel and restaurants of a type not previously available in the city. John J. Raskob (1879-1950), then assistant treasurer of the DuPont Company and an urbanite with ties to the Broadway entertainment world, was the major proponent. He believed that a theatre should serve as a business venture, as the source of the finest dramatic entertainment possible, and as a community resource for local charitable organizations' fund-raising shows. By providing a modern venue, he hoped to get Broadway shows to hold their tryouts in Wilmington, as they traditionally did in Philadelphia and New Haven, as well as attracting top touring companies. Along with Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954), treasurer and future president, and R.R.M. Carpenter (1877-1949), Raskob imagined a theatre as part of the proposed new Hotel Du Pont, and located in an area known as Pinkett's Court, an open space at the rear of the group of DuPont Company buildings on Market Street between 10th and 11th Streets. Raskob, du Pont and Carpenter incorporated The Play House Company on April 17, 1913. Charles A. Rich (1854-1943), a New York architect, was selected to design the theatre, with the Wilmington firm of Brown and Whiteside appointed associate architect. After being awarded the construction contract with the low bid of $122,960, Wilmington's J. A. Bader & Co. broke ground on April 15, 1913. The Playhouse was built in 150 working days, and opening night was October 15, 1913. The Playhouse's first lessee was William A. Brady (1863-1950), who appointed John S. Hale as resident manager of the theatre. After bringing thirty-five plays and forty-four other attractions to Wilmington, Brady officially closed his first season in April 1914. That fall Louis Alleman was named resident manager. One of Alleman's innovations was bringing in a stock company, "The Playhouse Players," which staged eleven shows from December through mid-March. Under Alleman's management, fifty- three shows were brought to The Playhouse during the 1916-1917 season, and fifty-one the following season, which was Brady's last as lessee. The new lessee in 1918 was the Majestic Theatre Company, operated by James N. Ginns, Charles Topkis and William Topkis. They appointed Earle G. Finney, who had been assistant manager under Alleman since 1917, as the new theatre manager in September 1918. The new management ran into a major problem almost immediately. The Little Teacher, a comedy scheduled to run five days starting September 30, ran only two. The influenza epidemic was at its peak, with nearly 10,000 cases reported in Wilmington alone. On orders of the State Board of Health, all public buildings, including schools and theatres, were closed. This order remained in effect until October 27. The 1921-1922 season had barely begun when Ginns and Topkis unexpectedly sold their lease to their manager, Earle G. Finney, on October 15. For the first time since The Playhouse opened, the lessee and the manager were the same person. The previous management had run motion pictures during the summer months, a practice eliminated by Finney, who included few films at any time of year during his five year tenure. His programming featured a balance among comedies, serious plays, and musicals. Finney remained manager until April 1926. Following termination of Finney's lease, R.R.M. Carpenter approached the Shubert Brothers, Lee and Jacob J. (JJ), prime theatrical producers in New York, in an attempt to interest them in leasing The Playhouse. The Shubert brothers assumed the lease in the summer of 1926. - Page 4- DuPont Theatre records 2150 At the end of October 1926, the Shuberts announced that they were changing the name of the theatre to The Shubert Playhouse. It was suspected that they thought the name Shubert would give the theatre added prestige. The 1926-1927 season was not a success. In an effort to reverse the trend, the Shuberts spent the summer of 1927 making renovations, however, the 1927-1928 season also suffered from low attendance despite star-studded casts and major productions. It is suspected that the ticket prices were too high. The Shuberts announced that the Shubert Playhouse would close in January 1928. On December 15, 1927, Chamber of Commerce called a public meeting to prevent the loss of Wilmington's only legitimate theatre, which would result in both cultural and business hardship. The Chamber of Commerce proposed

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Here Are a Number of Recognizable Singers Who Are Noted As Prominent Contributors to the Songbook Genre
    Music Take- Home Packet Inside About the Songbook Song Facts & Lyrics Music & Movement Additional Viewing YouTube playlist https://bit.ly/AllegraSongbookSongs This packet was created by Board-Certified Music Therapist, Allegra Hein (MT-BC) who consults with the Perfect Harmony program. About the Songbook The “Great American Songbook” is the canon of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century that have stood the test of time in their life and legacy. Often referred to as "American Standards", the songs published during the Golden Age of this genre include those popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1950s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film. The times in which much of this music was written were tumultuous ones for a rapidly growing and changing America. The music of the Great American Songbook offered hope of better days during the Great Depression, built morale during two world wars, helped build social bridges within our culture, and whistled beside us during unprecedented economic growth. About the Songbook We defended our country, raised families, and built a nation while singing these songs. There are a number of recognizable singers who are noted as prominent contributors to the Songbook genre. Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Al Jolson, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Margaret Whiting, and Andy Williams are widely recognized for their performances and recordings which defined the genre. This is by no means an exhaustive list; there are countless others who are widely recognized for their performances of music from the Great American Songbook.

  • Linda Twine, a Native of Muskogee, OK, Graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1966, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music
    Linda Twine, a native of Muskogee, OK, graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1966, with a bachelor of arts degree in music. There, she studied piano with the esteemed Dr. Clarence Burg and Professor Nancy Apgar. After graduating from OCU, Twine studied at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where she earned a master’s degree, and made New York her home. She began her musical career in New York, teaching music in public school by day and accompanying classical and jazz artists at night. At one of these engagements, she was asked if she would like to substitute for the keyboardist of the Tony Award winning Broadway hit, “The Wiz.” Her positive response began a long career in Broadway musicals from keyboard substitute to assistant conductor of Broadway orchestras. In 1981, Twine transitioned to conductor when Lena Horne asked her to conduct her one-woman hit, “Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music.” This garnered Twine the respect of her peers and as a much sought-after Broadway musical conductor. In addition to “The Wiz” and “Lena Horne,” Twine’s Broadway credits include, “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Big River” (the score composed by Oklahoman Roger Miller), “Jelly’s Last Jam,” “Frog and Toad,” “Caroline or Change,” “Purlie,” and the current “The Color Purple,” starring Fantasia. Not only a distinguished conductor, Twine is also a composer and arranger. She composed “Changed My Name,” a cantata inspired by slave women Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, and written for two actresses, four soloists, and a chorus. Her popular spiritual arrangements are published by Hinshaw.

  • Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
    Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there. My Ship Lady in the Dark Weill Far from the Home I Love Fiddler on the Roof Bock/ Harnick Ten Minutes Ago Cinderella Rodgers/Hammerstein Mr. Snow Carousel Rodgers/Hammerstein Happiness is a Thing Called Joe Cabin in the Sky Arlen/Harburg One Boy Bye Bye Birdie Strouse/Adams Dream with Me Peter Pan Bernstein Just Imagine Good News!
