We look forward to seeing you again soon. Who Was Adolph Green, Whose Birthday Is December 2nd? All are welcome to the congregational kiddush immediately following services in the Adolph Green (12/2/1914-10/23/2002), was born in the Bronx, son of Helen & Daniel Green. He was to become a Samuel and Minnie Hyman Ballroom. beloved lyricist, playwright and actor. Perhaps his long-time collaborator’s name, Betty Comden, will help you remem- ber him. For some six decades this pair produced some of the most revered and enjoyed Broadway and Hollywood hits. This week’s Se’udah Shelishit will be sponsored in memory of David Rosenbloom (z”l) by Adolph was working as a runner on Wall Street while trying to get a foothold in an acting career. In 1938, when Betty his family. Comden was studying drama at NYU, they met through mutual friends. Along with such future luminaries as Judy Holliday (who was then Judy Tuvim) and Leonard Bernstein, they formed The Revuers, a troupe which performed at the Village Vanguard. They went west to make a movie called Greenwich Village, with Don Ameche and Carmen Miranda, and soon went back to New York to seek further (or any) fame and fortune. And then came On the Town. You see, choreographer Jerome Robbins had teamed with composer Leonard Bernstein on OUR CONGREGATIONAL FAMILY a ballet, Fancy Free (1944), which the American Ballet Theatre produced. The production team, including scenic designer Oliver Smith and businessman Paul Feigay, decided the ballet could become a musical if only they had Comden Condolences to and Green writing the book and lyrics. George Abbott directed, and MGM put up some production money in return for the film rights. (Your correspondent laments the best song, “I Can Cook, Too” with lyrics by Bernstein, was left out of Larry (Adrienne) Savitz on the passing on November 23 of his mother Ruth “Cookie” the movie. Search it, sung by Nancy Walker. But we digress.) Comden and Green also performed in the production. Savitz. Their two subsequent musicals, Billion Dollar Baby and Bonanza Bound, were not profitable and so they headed back to California where they wrote Good News and The Barkleys of Broadway, before adapting On the Town for film with Natalie (Lonnie) Wolf on the passing on November 23 of her sister Ruth “Cookie” Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin. (Judy Holliday even had a small uncredited voice-over role.) Savitz. Among their hits have been S ingin’ in the Rain, The Band Wagon, It’s Always Fair Weather, the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan, Bells Are Ringing, and so much more, up through The Will Rogers Follies (1991). Family and friends on the passing on November 25 of long-time member Helen Klein In 1958, they created A Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, a Broadway revue of their early work. They Lazarus. revived it (updated) in 1977. Adolph Green was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in 1980, and into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981. The team was honored by the Kennedy Center Honors in 1991. Green and Comden were married to others, but they were a tight team. Green appeared in Candide in 1991, an episode of Frasier in 1994 (“ Burying a Grudge”), and The Substance of Fire in 1996. Showpersons do not leave us; they simply await the next cue.

  • Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has -been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Celebrates Jerome Robbins & Leonard
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Meghan Swartz Associate Director of Communications 412-454-9117 [email protected] *High-res photos available upon request Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Celebrates Jerome Robbins & Leonard Bernstein Centennials with Three Company Premieres ‘UPMC Presents West Side Story Suite + In the Night + Fancy Free’ PITTSBURGH, PA (March 20, 2018) — ​This spring ​Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (PBT) ​ joins in international centennial celebrations for choreographer Jerome Robbins and composer Leonard Bernstein with an all-Robbins program featuring three company premieres. “UPMC Presents West Side Story Suite + In the Night + Fancy Free” with the PBT Orchestra takes the stage May 4-6, at the Benedum Center. Both Robbins (1918-1998) and Bernstein (1918-1990) would have celebrated their 100th birthdays in 2018, which has inspired a worldwide celebration of their work. The duo famously collaborated on a number of ballets and Broadway hits beginning in the 1940s. Among the Robbins and Bernstein collaborations represented in PBT’s centennial tribute are their first and most famous collaborations —​ “Fancy Free,” which inspired the ​ ​ ​ Broadway hit “On the Town,” and “West Side Story Suite,” which Robbins excerpted from the full-length “West Side Story.” “I had the privilege of working with Jerry when I was principal dancer and then ballet ​ master for American Ballet Theatre. I’ll never forget his genius for the details that make a masterpiece​,” said PBT Artistic Director Terrence S. Orr. ‘West Side Story Suite’ will ​ push our dancers outside their comfort zones with its drama, its choreography and especially its singing scenes. I love its contrast with ‘In the Night,’​ ​which shows us Robbins’ classical side.

    GRETCHEN CRYER AND NANCY FORD: ELEVATING THE FEMALE VOICE IN AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATER A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC DECEMBER 2018 By Nancy Jane Kerns Thesis Committee: Katherine McQuiston, Chairperson Abigail Fine Laurence Paxton DEDICATION For my parents, Ellen Louise (Denzer) Kerns and Charles Fredric Kerns i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful for the support of so many people as I wrote my thesis. My Ohio visits with my sister, Pat, and my brother, Mike, and their families were filled with days of research, writing, and editing. They understood, and have continuously nurtured and cheered me on. My friends (and I wish I could name them all) have listened to, consoled, and encouraged me through many challenging moments, and celebrated with me in the happiest ones. My thesis committee generously provided the guidance I needed to see this project through. My patient and compassionate advisor, Dr. Kate McQuiston, spent countless hours wading through drafts, and consulting in person. Through her wisdom and writing expertise I was able to achieve far better results than I could have accomplished on my own. Dr. Abigail Fine provided perspectives, from the initial proposal through the final product, which changed the nature of my thesis, and greatly aided my writing process in general. In addition to his assistance with this project, Professor Laurence Paxton has guided me through two vocal performance degrees, and, as department chairperson, constantly looked after me during my thirteen years of learning.
