  • Withering Heights

    Withering Heights

    Withering Heights When one mentions the Presbyterian Church, the name that first comes to mind is that of the Scottish Calvinist clergyman John Knox. This dynamic religious leader of the Protestant Reformation founded the Presbyterian denomination and was at the beginning of his ministry in Edinburgh when he lost his beloved wife Marjorie Bowes. In 1564 he married again, but the marriage received a great deal of attention. This was because she was remotely connected with the royal family, and Knox was almost three times the age of this young lady of only seventeen years. She was Margaret Stewart, daughter of Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord of Ochiltree. She bore Knox three daughters, of whom Elizabeth became the wife of John Welsh, the famous minister of Ayr. Their daughter Lucy married another clergyman, the Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon. Their descendant, John Knox Witherspoon (son of another Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon), signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of New Jersey and (in keeping with family tradition) was also a minister, in fact the only minister to sign the historic document. John Knox Witherspoon (1723 – 1794), clergyman, Princeton’s sixth president and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Just like Declaration of Independence signatory John Witherspoon, actress Reese Witherspoon is also descended from Reverend James Alexander Witherspoon and his wife Lucy (and therefore John Knox). The future Academy Award winner, born Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, was born in New Orleans, having made her début appearance at Southern Baptist Hospital on March 22, 1976. New Orleans born Academy Award winning actress, Reese Witherspoon Reese did not get to play Emily Brontë’s Cathy in “Wuthering Heights” but she did portray Becky Sharp in Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair”.

    Being true to yourself never goes out of style! WINNER BEST NEW MUSICAL 2011 OLIVIER AWARD EDUCATION KIT AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON • SYDNEY LYRIC LegallyBlonde.com.au facebook.com/ legallyblondemusical @legallyblondeoz Legally Blonde: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION This teacher’s guide has been developed as a teaching tool to assist teachers who are bringing their students to see the show. This guide is based on Camp Broadway’s StageNOTES, conceived for the original Broadway musical adaptation of Amanda Brown’s 2001 novel and the film released that same year, and has been adapted for use within the UK and Australia. The Australian Education Pack is intended to offer some pathways into the production, and focuses on some of the topics covered in Legally Blonde which may interest students and teachers. It is not an exhaustive analysis of the musical or the production, but instead aims to offer a variety of stimuli for debate, discussion and practical exploration. It is anticipated that the Education Pack will be best utilised after a group of students have seen the production with their teacher, and can engage in an informed discussion based on a sound awareness of the musical. We hope that the information provided here will both enhance the live theatre experience and provide readers with information they may not otherwise have been able to access. Legally Blonde is an uplifting, energising, feel-good show and with that in mind we hope this pack will be enjoyed through equally energising and enjoyable practical work in the classroom and drama studio. 1 Legally Blonde: INTRODUCTION LEgally Blonde Education Pack CONTENTS PAGE INTODUCTION 1.

    Director's Notes

    DIRECTOR’S NOTES Thoughts on LEGALLY BLONDE The musical Legally Blonde is based on a novel by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name directed by Robert Luketic. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy and ranks 29th on Bravo’s 2007 list of “100 Funniest Movies.” Premiering on January 23, 2007 in San Francisco, the Broadway musical version of Legally Blonde opened in NYC at the Palace Theatre on April 29, 2007. The show’s stars, Laura Bell Bundy, Christian Borle, and Orfeh were all nominated for Tony Awards. Later, the Broadway show was the focus of an MTV reality TV series called “Legally Blonde – The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods,” in which the winner would take over the role of Elle on Broadway. The Broadway show closed on October 19, 2008 after 595 performances. But even more successful than the Broadway run of Legally Blonde, was a highly lauded 3 year run at the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End, in which the show was nominated for five Laurence Olivier Awards. It won three, including Best New Musical. Since then, Legally Blonde has enjoyed international success in productions seen in South Korea, The Netherlands, France, The Philippines, Sweden, and Finland. Certainly, it is undeniable that both film and musical are pure escapist joy. But Legally Blonde does have a point beyond its camp wondrousness – and that is to challenge the way people make assumptions about appearance. For whether you are a beautiful bubbly blonde (like our heroine, Elle) or someone more “serious” in nature, we all have had to, at one time or another, battle prejudice against ourselves.

INTRODUCTION Almost every woman has had the experience of being trivialized, regarded as if she is just 'some dumb girl,' of whom few productive accomplishments can be expected. When viewed simply as 'some dumb girls,' women are treated dismissively, as if their thoughts or contributions are unlikely to be of value and are unworthy of consideration. 'Some Dumb Girl Syndrome' can arise in deeply personal spheres. A friend once described an instance of this phenomenon: When a hurricane threatened her coastal community, her husband, a military pilot, was ordered to fly his airplane to a base in the Midwest, far from the destructive reach of the impending storm. This left her alone with their two small children.

    PAJ77/No.03 Chin-C

    AIN’T NO SUNSHINE The Cinema in 2003 Larry Qualls and Daryl Chin s 2003 came to a close, the usual plethora of critics’ awards found themselves usurped by the decision of the Motion Picture Producers Association of A America to disallow the distribution of screeners to its members, and to any organization which adheres to MPAA guidelines (which includes the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences). This became the rallying cry of the Independent Feature Project, as those producers who had created some of the most notable “independent” films of the year tried to find a way to guarantee visibility during award season. This issue soon swamped all discussions of year-end appraisals, as everyone, from critics to filmmakers to studio executives, seemed to weigh in with an opinion on the matter of screeners. Yet, despite this media tempest, the actual situation of film continues to be precarious. As an example, in the summer of 2003 the distribution of films proved even more restrictive, as theatres throughout the United States were block-booked with the endless cycle of sequels that came from the studios (Legally Blonde 2, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Terminator 3, The Matrix Revolutions, X-2: X-Men United, etc.). A number of smaller films, such as the nature documentary Winged Migration and the New Zealand coming-of-age saga Whale Rider, managed to infiltrate the summer doldrums, but the continued conglomeration of distribution and exhibition has brought the motion picture industry to a stultifying crisis. And the issue of the screeners was the rallying cry for those working on the fringes of the industry, the “independent” producers and directors and small distributors.

    Section 4: Developing Identity Like most young girls, I grew up watching Disney Princesses… Jessie M. Lara Instructor: Elizabeth Jurgensen Mirror, Mirror How many times have you watched a movie and noticed that all the women are thin or are showing a lot of skin? These women are seen as “beauti- ful” in our eyes, thanks to our media-driven society. Women grow up seeing this constant ideal, and as a result, become pressured to look a certain way in order to be considered beautiful. We are influenced to fit into this mold of “flawless” so that not only our looks have to change, but our behavior as well. Women have been influenced to emulate this idea of beauty with plastic sur- gery, airbrushing, or even simply makeup; women are no longer accepted in their natural state of beauty. Like most young girls, I grew up watching Disney Princesses and it definitely shaped my view of beauty. There are about nine Disney Princesses, including Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana, who was added in 2009. There are only three princesses of color: Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Tiana, who aren’t among the most well- known or popular princesses. If you see advertisements for Disney Princess items, they are normally for Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, or Aurora. Each of these princesses has the same characteristics: thin, light skin, and light- colored eyes. Aside from Snow White, they have medium to long hair as well. What do you think a child learns from such images? The book Our Bodies, Ourselves, A New Edition for a New Era, by the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective states, “Researchers have found that ongoing exposure to certain ideas can shape and distort our images of reality” (10).
