  • Tackling Challenging Issues in Shakespeare for Young Audiences
    Shrews, Moneylenders, Soldiers, and Moors: Tackling Challenging Issues in Shakespeare for Young Audiences DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Harelik, M.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Lesley Ferris, Adviser Professor Jennifer Schlueter Professor Shilarna Stokes Professor Robin Post Copyright by Elizabeth Harelik 2016 Abstract Shakespeare’s plays are often a staple of the secondary school curriculum, and, more and more, theatre artists and educators are introducing young people to his works through performance. While these performances offer an engaging way for students to access these complex texts, they also often bring up topics and themes that might be challenging to discuss with young people. To give just a few examples, The Taming of the Shrew contains blatant sexism and gender violence; The Merchant of Venice features a multitude of anti-Semitic slurs; Othello shows characters displaying overtly racist attitudes towards its title character; and Henry V has several scenes of wartime violence. These themes are important, timely, and crucial to discuss with young people, but how can directors, actors, and teachers use Shakespeare’s work as a springboard to begin these conversations? In this research project, I explore twenty-first century productions of the four plays mentioned above. All of the productions studied were done in the United States by professional or university companies, either for young audiences or with young people as performers. I look at the various ways that practitioners have adapted these plays, from abridgments that retain basic plot points but reduce running time, to versions incorporating significant audience participation, to reimaginings created by or with student performers.

  • ORAL HISTORY 85-100, Part 2
    Tape # ORAL HISTORY 85-100, Part 2 Interview with Chuck West by Ronald Inouye on February 4, 1985 in Fairbanks, Alaska RI: We're continuing now with the second part of our interview. Today is, again the 4th of February (1985), and this is tape 2. Can you continue on? We were discussing as we took our lunch break about how adversity sometimes causes opportunities to sort of come about, particularly in the building of hotels. CW: Yes, not only in the building of hotels. We started our motor coach company when there were motor coach companies failing in business and leaving a hole , let's say, in our operation and the decline of the Alaska Steamship Company -- it's cessation-going out of business, created another hole in our program which we had to fill ourselves. And after the two years of no ships in '55 and '56, I recognized that business was on a real downslope, and I resolved to find some way to quit that, and was able to uncover an opportunity in the existence of a company, Union Steamships Limited of Vancouver, BC, who were operating 3 converted castle-class corvettes out of Vancouver, up the British Columbia coast into Alaska. They were primarily passenger freighters: one vessel was more of a cruise-type boat, but the other 2 were principally freighter operators carrying passengers into port. So I went to Union Steamship Company, inspected the vessels, and determined that if they were willing I would charter 1 vessel for the summer of 1957 and negotiated a ORAL HISTORY 85-100, Part 2 Interview with Chuck West by Ronald Inouye on February 4, 1985 Page 1 of 46 trial arrangement with the “Coquitlam, SS Coquitlam.” It was immediately successful, I mean we haul a turnaround immediately; our tour sales increased and proved to me quite conclusively that was the answer.

  • What to Do in Hakodate
    What to do in Hakodate It has been said that Hakodate is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations. The following guide contains brief descriptions of many of the places of interest and restaurants to help you decide whether or not Hakodate deserves such high praise. These recommendations are not exhaustive but are places that we believe will be of interest to the AAMAS conference attendees. Internet Links There are of course many ‘offline’ and ‘online’ guides to Hakodate to which we strongly recommend you refer. Here are some Internet links (both in English and Japanese), for those of you that wish to discover more about the city.

  • Little Darlin Records
    Jan. 16, 2005---- If you like Kenny Chesney and Rascal Flatts, you'll hate Little Darlin' Records. The renegade country label sprang came from the big dreams of the 1960s. Bodacious songs such as Stonewall Jackson's "Pint of No Return," Groovy Joe Poovey's "He's in a Hurry (To Get Home to My Wife)" and Johnny Paycheck's "(Pardon Me) I've Got Someone to Kill" were drenched in steel guitar, edgy vocals and pop-top bass. Aubrey Mayhew, now 78, is the colorful producer of Little Darlin'. He's also known as one of the nation's biggest collectors of 1960s JFK memorabilia, with more than 300,000 Kennedy related items in his possession. He's so obsessive about Kennedy, he purchased the infamous Texas Book Depository at a 1970 auction. Mayhew is overseeing the Little Darlin' reissues, which will roll out through 2005 and 2006 via Koch Records/Nashville. Little Darlin's hard mid-1960s country is truly renegade, especially since it was recorded when Nashville was steeped in the lush strings and fancy arrangements of the countrypolitian movement. There are nearly 5,000 unreleased sides of Little Darlin' material, including live tracks from bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins, gospel songs from Johnny Paycheck and material from an unlikely source, Clint Eastwood. "Clint always said he was a singer," Mayhew recalled from Koch's Nashville office. "But he got trapped into doing an album by some slick guys in Philadelphia. This is when he was doing the 'Rawhide' thing." In 1961, the singing cowboy got off to an inauspicious start when he cut the country-pop single "Unknown Girl" that was more Bobby Goldsboro than Clint Eastwood.

  • Dan Brettler, CEO of Car Toys Business and Pleasure
    Dan Brettler, CEO of Car Toys Business and Pleasure Brettler, Dan I am going to introduce the speaker this morning. I want to again that this Dean Speaker series occurs every quarter. We bring in professionals from the business community to speak to our students and inspire us to all the good work that we do in group business. We are privileged to have Dan Brettler to the chairman and CEO of Car Toys. Most of you have purchased some kind of Car Toys. That is good. He has over 1100 employees and 52 stores in four states: Washington, Oregon, Texas and Colorado. They have jumped to every part of the country. There is probably a story with that. At the end he also founded other businesses including Wireless Advocates—wireless services and phones through Costco stores. I am sure that was an interesting story as well. IN addition, Dan has offered us expertise to the community. He is currently chairman of the United Way of King Country board of directors. He serves on the board for Boys and Girls clubs in King Country. He has been co-chair for the committee to end homelessness in King Country. I hope that you will engage with him this morning about his business and about his civic work as well. He is the father of 2 high schoolers Quinn and Max. One in college now actually. Great. Dan, thank you very much for coming. Thank you for the introduction. Good morning everybody, how are you doing? Good so I graduated with a marketing degree 27 years ago so you can see that anything I learned in college is applicable or not but I can tell there is one thing that has not change and that is nobody ever wants to sit in the front row.

Of all the individuals I met in Germany, Guinea, and across the United States I am sure to miss a few. There are not enough pages to be able to name all people who have: helped me find directions, connect with informants, provided me a place to stay, shared their food, and compared notes in a djembé workshop. To all who remain nameless, I thank you for making this project possible. I would like to thank the Rackham Graduate School and the School of Music, Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan for generously funding my graduate work. I was honored to receive a Board of Regents Fellowship as well as several Teaching Assistantships which helped me to reach candidacy.
