Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Sunset Boulevard by Christopher Hampton Sunset Boulevard by Christopher Hampton. Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of “talkies.” Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets struggling Hollywood screenwriter Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion. Videos. Based on the Billy Wilder film, the musical version of Sunset Boulevard, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Christopher Hampton and Don Black, had its world premiere at London’s Adelphi Theatre on July 12th, 1993. The show received its American premiere in December 1993 at the Shubert Theatre in Los Angeles starring Glenn Close as Norma Desmond. The show opened on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre in November 1994 with the highest advance in Broadway history at the time ($37.5 million in ticket sales). The show has been staged across the world with productions in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and tours in the US and UK. Sunset Boulevard returned to Broadway in 2017 at the Palace Theatre with Glenn Close reprising her role as Norma Desmond, following a sold out run in the West End at the London Coliseum. Gallery. I first saw Sunset Boulevard sometime in the early 70s. It inspired a tune. This tune was supposed to be the title song. However, I neither had the rights to the film, nor at that time was likely to be able to obtain them.

  • Screen Plays: from Broadway to Hollywood, 1920-1966
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1995 SCREEN PLAYS: FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD, 1920 - 1966 June 30 - October 3, 1995 A major retrospective of Hollywood films adapted from the Broadway stage opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 30, 1995. SCREEN PLAYS: FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD, 1920 - 1966 presents more than 100 films that drew their commercially and critically successful plots and characters, and their talented actors, writers, and directors from Broadway. The series, which continues through October 3, features such Broadway actors as George Arliss, the Barrymores, Shirley Booth, Marlon Brando, Ina Claire, John Garfield, Julie Harris, Helen Hayes, Judy Holliday, the Lunts, Fredric March, Sidney Poitier, Otis Skinner, Laurette Taylor, and Mae West re-creating on film the roles that made them stage legends. While the relationship between the Broadway musical and the Hollywood musical is well-established, this exhibition spotlights the relationship between the Broadway play and the Hollywood film. Since the beginning of the studio system, Hollywood has sought plays that could be adapted into so-called prestige films, adding a patina of class and sophistication. The retrospective places particular emphasis on films made from plays produced by the Theatre Guild, the Group Theatre, and the Playwrights' Company, since many members of these companies made lasting contributions both on Broadway and in Hollywood. Highlights of the series include Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in the only film they made together, The Guardsman (Sidney Franklin, 1931; play by Ferenc Molnar); Anna Magnani in the film version of The Rose Tattoo (Daniel - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, NY.

  • Women's Leadership in Primetime Television an Introductory Study
    Women’s Leadership in Primetime Television An Introductory Study Natalie Greene Spring 2009 General University Honors Capstone Advisor: Karen O’Connor Greene 1 Women’s Leadership in Prime-time Television: An Introductory Study Introduction When television executives report their core audience, women always come out ahead. A 2007 Nielsen Media Research report showed that, with only two exceptions, every broadcast network channel had more female viewers than men. ABC’s female audience almost doubled its male audience during the 2007-08 season (Atkinson, 2008). 1 Women onscreen, however, seem to reflect a different reality, making up only 43% of characters in the prime-time 2007-08 season (Lauzen, 2008). 2 As studies going back as far as the 1970s show, women on screen not only fail to represent the proportional makeup of women in society, they also overwhelmingly show a stereotypically gendered version of women (McNeil, 1975; Signorielli and Bacue, 1999; United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1977). This paper aims to address the evolution of women’s leadership in prime-time network scripted television from 1950 to 2008. Because of the way that women have been traditionally marginalized in television, it is important to study the shows that have featured women as lead characters. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo ( I Love Lucy, 1951-1960) influenced later female leads such as Ann Marie ( That Girl, 1966-1971), Mary Richards ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-1977) and Murphy Brown ( Murphy Brown, 1988-1998). Thus, along with an introduction to socialization theory and feminist television criticism, this paper covers a selection of some of the most influential female characters and women-centered shows of this period.
