It marks our third production penned by the incomparable American playwright David Ives (following A Flea in Her Ear in 2006 and The School for Lies in 2013). To say DEAR FRIENDS, that David has “a way with words” would be woefully understating the fact of the matter. His work is smart, funny, raucous—truly a singular voice of the American theater. Tony Award®-winning director John Rando and our talented cast, including Paxton Whitehead in his Chicago Shakespeare debut, have created a performance that is a veritable master class in comedic timing. The Heir Apparent follows our sold-out, five-star productions of The Tempest and Ride the Cyclone this fall. Together with the recent announcement of the upcoming West Coast premiere of our musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s “A WILDLY ENGAGING Sense and Sensibility, which graced our own stage last year, it is a thrilling time for our artistic collective. It is our privilege to develop and produce work that HIP-HOP TAKE TICKETS makes Chicago proud. And we are so appreciative of the role you play as an ON DICKENS’ START AT audience member. $ Looking ahead to 2016, we hope you will join us for the yearlong celebration, CLASSIC” 30 Shakespeare 400 Chicago. This festival will position Chicago as host to the –CHICAGO SUN-TIMES largest global celebration of the playwright as the world commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s legacy.

  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
