  • Sal Capone – Intro for Schools
    Introduction to Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of for teachers and students From the playwright, Omari Newton: I hope this story makes you all think, laugh and feel inspired to create your own art. Sal Capone is a story about people your age chasing their dreams and fighting to survive some of the pressure associated with growing up. It's also a love letter to Hip Hop culture. I hope you enjoy our show. From the director, Diane Roberts: Theatre is a tactile medium. You feel things as much as you hear and see them. Sal Capone’s characters are ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. I hope you will be moved by how all of the elements of drama, music, video and movement come together to make you feel the triumphs and tragedies of these potent characters. What is the play about? Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of (let’s call it Sal from here-on for short) is about many things and we hope, in watching the play, you will find meanings and themes that we haven’t yet realized are there. In particular, we hope that you will find something about you in the play. The story follows the journeys of a group of friends and Hip Hop crew who are dealing with the fatal police shooting of their friend; a talented but troubled young DJ (inspired by true events that have occurred in Montreal, Toronto, New York, San Francisco and London, UK in recent years and many others that don’t reach mass media – see links in “Resources” section).

Her feedback has pushed me to investigate these ideas with more clarity and direction than I initially thought possible, and her mentorship throughout this first step in my graduate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Aparajita Sagar and Dr. Ryan Schneider, for helping me polish this piece of writing and for supporting me throughout this two-year program as I prepared to write this by participating in their seminars and working with them to prepare conference materials. Without these three individuals I would not have the confidence that I now have to continue on in my academic career. Additionally, I would like to thank my friends in the English Department at Purdue University and my friends back home in Minnesota who listened to my jumbled thoughts about popular culture and Black womanhood and asked me challenging questions that helped me to shape the argument that appears in this document.

But what about the man whose hands grasp the ball before every NFL snap? What about center-quarterback chemistry? “It’s very important,” says six-time Pro Bowl center KEVIN MAWAE of the Tennessee Titans. “The quarterback needs to feel comfortable with what is happening in front of him with protection. When a center and quarterback have chemistry, the quarterback will understand what protection calls are going to come and why that call was made. “I have watched film with quarterbacks,” continues Mawae. “We go through different scenarios and situations and work through what calls will work best for both the line and the quarterback. It helps eliminate the discrepancies that may occur during a game.” Here is a look at the quarterback-center tandems who have started the most games together since 1970 as well as those among active teammates: QB-C TANDEMS SINCE 1970 GAMES CURRENT QB-C TANDEMS GAMES Jim Kelly-Kent Hull, Buffalo 157 Peyton Manning-Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis 101 Brett Favre-Frank Winters, Green Bay 123 Trent Green-Casey Wiegmann, Kansas City 80 Steve Bartkowski-Jeff Van Note, Atlanta 120 Matt Hasselbeck-Robbie Tobeck, Seattle 74 Phil Simms-Bart Oates, N.Y.

    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.
