From the Director: The more I learned about "The King And I", the more fascinated I became. A lot of people do not realize that this play is a romanticized story about real people and real events in history. "The King And I" is based on the book, "Anna And The King Of Siam", by Margaret Landon. The book was eventually read by the wives of Rodgers & Hammerstein, who brought it to the attention of their husbands. However, it wasn't until Gertrude Lawrence asked them to write a play based on the book as a vehicle for her, that they decided to do it. Anna Leonowens was a proud, resourceful and independent woman. '" From the age of fifteen she spent most of her life in India and Singapore. It was after the death of her husband, Tom, and the need to support her family, that she decided to open a school in Singapore for officer's children. It was this school which attracted the attention of the Siamese Consul, who had been instructed by the King of Siam to secure an English governess for the Royal Children. The King, Maha Mongkut, was a very brilliant man. When his throne was usurped by his older half-brother, he sought safety in the Buddhist priesthood. He became a scholar in Pali and Sanskrit. He studied English, French and Latin. He became a fine mathematician and an amateur astronomer. As King, he was caught in two worlds: the one he grew up in, and the one where he was a student of the modern world of civilization and science. He could be very cruel at times, and also very tender-hearted. But he was a man whom no one ever underestimated. He wished to bring to Siam what was good in the modern world. Anna Leonowens was part of that plan. However, she was more than he bargained for. Their influence was very evident in his oldest son, Prince Chululongkorn, whose reign as king brought freedom and major reform. He reorganized the whole system of government and the law courts. He built schools, transportation facilities and modernized the military. He freed political prisoners and established religious freedom. And, then, one day, he read this declaration: "Let this our royal message to our people be proclaimed, and not as if we were doing a great and lordly thing, but our simple duty to our fellow men and subjects, that from the first day of January, 1872, slavery shall cease to be an institution in our country, and every man, woman and child shall hold themselves free-born citizens." hope you enjoy the performance, and thank you for coming; for without you, the audience, there can be no theatre.

We welcome Catherine back, this time to play the role she has wanted to play all her life. She started her singing career in high school and her directorial experience began in college. Since that time, Catherine has performed in leading roles with Opera San Jose, West Bay Opera and Gilbert & Sullivan Society of San Jose. And, of course, with West Valley Light Opera. You must remember her as Lalume in 'Kismet'. Last season, she directed 'The Merry Widow' for us. Catherine has recently played Thea in 'Fiorello', and Mrs. Anderson in 'A Little Night Music' for Foothill College. Her experience also includes other facets of theater, such as costume design and construction, stage crew, properties designer and stage manager, as well as directing. Catherine is a vocal teacher, and her husband John, is an airline pilot. Catherine couldn't be happier with this show. Not only is she playing the lead, but her daughter, Elizabeth Edgerton, and nephew French Clements, are also in the show. It's definitely a 'Family Affair' for this very talented 'Anna'. DON MASUDA - The King. A newcomer to WVLOA, Don is a delight to work with and we welcome him with open arms. A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, he considers himself to be a Californian, having moved here when he was but a child. In real life, Don is the single parent of thirteen year old twin boys, and has been a third grade teacher in San Mateo for over twenty years. This experience makes him a natural to play the King of Siam, with over sixty children. It's no wonder they are so obedient. Since 1988, Don has been performing with TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, SJCLO, Foothill College, and Saratoga Drama Group. Of the many shows Don has performed in, his favorites are Ito in "Mame", and in "Pacific Overtures", a show he has done for both TheatreWorks and SJCLO. Don dedicates his performances in this production "To my Dad, whom I miss so much, and who is no longer part of the theatre audience, but is still out there ..

  • 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.

Kalimantan 37, Jember 68121 e-mail: meiliaadiana.ihem6c ABSTRAK Artikel ini membahas tentang sistem perbudakan di Thailand yang direpresentasikan dalam novel karya Margaret Landon yang berjudul Anna and the King of Siam terbitan tahun 1944. Dalam artikel ini terdapat dua pertanyaan. Pertanyaan pertama mengenai bagaimana perbudakan itu diceritakan dalam novel. Pertanyaan kedua mengenai bagaimana dampak-dampak dari penghapusan sistem perbudakan di Thailand yang direpresentasikan dalam novel. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode dokumenter. Untuk menganalisis representasi tersebut dengan menggunakan teori sosiologi sastra berdasarkan teori Alan Swingewood.

  • The Borneo Company Limited Does
    Adventurous and entrepreneurial Englishmen known as the Wild Men of Borneo formed The Borneo Company Limited in 1856 (or 2399 according to the Thai solar calendar known as Suriyakati which counts from the year of the Buddha’s birth 543 years before Christ) initially to develop, or some say exploit, the natural resources of Borneo. The world’s third largest island at 290,000 square miles (750,000 square kilometers), Borneo is cradled by the Indonesian archipelago in the Java Sea. Over the company’s hundred plus years of existence, its activities extended to other islands in that archipelago now unified as Indonesia as well as the Malayan Peninsula, China and to the kingdom of Thailand, then known to foreigners as Siam. 137 Pillars House © First published in 2011.
