A Wrinkle in Time is the fourth play in our Field Trip Series for local schools which we began in 2014 with Battledrum and The Belle of Amherst is a gift to our poetry-loving patrons which we’ve added to the season after being approached by the very talented Ferrell Marshall whom we’ve long wanted to have work with us. These two offerings underscore what we are trying to do here at the Playhouse. They appeal to two different groups of our patrons – families will be delighted with A Wrinkle in Time, a wonderful adaptation of the beloved Newbery Award-winning book about young Meg who is negotiating the vicissitudes of early adolescence while “tessering” to Camazotz to rescue her father and The Belle of Amherst, filled with the beautiful poetry of one of America’s greatest and most original poets, Emily Dickinson, will appeal to all our patrons who delight in language. These two shows celebrate two Americans who have, through their wonderful imaginations, left profound marks on any who have read them. I sincerely hope that the adults who are drawn to The Belle of Amherst will also come back to see the inventive way the worlds of Uriel and Camazotz have been brought to our stage and that families will come back – with their children – to hear Dickinson’s masterful way with words. A Repertory is a daunting undertaking involving so many artists and so much coordination. I am always struck by how many people it takes to put on a show and how seriously everyone takes their role in the process. I remember thinking that I would love to share with our audiences how amazing it was at our production meeting for Wrinkle that there were fourteen! people discussing all the elements that would come together in this production from lighting to sound to video projections to the set to the costumes to the props all of which need to be conceived, and built, and installed, and then work in tandem – seamlessly - to support the work that the actors are doing on stage. Talk about it taking a village…. And then we did it again for the other show! My thanks to everyone who worked so tirelessly to make this Repertory a success. As always we do this for you – our SMP family – whose support and loyalty mean so much to us and for whom we hope we bring pleasure and joy and moving experiences in the theater. Please let me know how you think we are doing.

Kiff Scholl A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR “Believing takes practice.” Although this quote from the book A Wrinkle in Time does not get said in our production, I have used it as my inspiration for our show. I didn’t read this book as a kid - I came to it only as an adult when I was thinking of plays for the Field Trip Series - but I wish I had though. This is exactly the kind of book I would have loved: science fiction (I was a huge Robert Heinlein fan) about disconnected and disoriented kids. And Meg is just the kind of kid who should go on this journey – a true “Hero’s Journey” if there ever was one. An awkward, lonely and dispirited adolescent girl who learns two invaluable things that all of us needed to learn when we were young and impressionable: that we are loved and that we are perfect just as we are. Believing takes practice…believing in yourself and more importantly believing in others – your parents, your friends, your siblings – just at the moment when you are questioning everything. When I started the Field Trip Series in 2014 I hoped that it would grow into a yearly offering that would speak to school kids and their teachers, supporting curricula and inspiring a love for theater in our young patrons. But even more, I hoped that the stories would be ones that would inspire and challenge and enthrall – and they have! - the Civil War drummer boys of Battledrum, the young scientist on the brink of everything in Einstein is a Dummy, the sterling friends in Charlotte’s Web, and now Meg in A Wrinkle in Time. I’m so happy that this play features a girl on the brink of womanhood learning to negotiate the world and her own transformation. I cannot imagine a more fitting story to share with young people who themselves are on the brink of adulthood. I am so grateful to all the artists who helped me realize this show: the actors, who were always up for any wild suggestion, and the designers, who were as delighted to tell this story as I was and who came up with so many great ways for us to realize the vision of this show. It was truly a collaborative and incredibly fun journey. My thanks, too, to the SMP staff and Board who work so hard to bring our wonderful and award-winning productions to you. And finally, because I can’t thank them often enough, thanks to Doug and Gideon, without whose support, love, and indulgence of my crazy schedule I wouldn’t be able to do this at all. “Believing takes practice” and I’m still practicing! Christian Lebano A Wrinkle in Time Kristyn Chalker (Mother/Mrs. Who/Camo Woman/Aunt Beast and u/s Mrs. Whatsit/Camo Mother) is thrilled to be working with Sierra Madre Playhouse for the first time.

  • Emily Dickinson - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Emily Dickinson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Emily Dickinson(10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886) Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent.

Steve Marsh – Thesis Advisor Lecturer and Literary Manager, Department of Theatre Arts Maxine Kern – Second Reader Lecturer, Department of Theatre Arts This thesis is accepted by the Graduate School.

During my research process, I learned that the true persona Emily Dickinson does fit into one particular stereotype. In this thesis I provide, I examine three different theatrical interpretations of the character of Emily Dickinson: Allison’s House by Susan Glaspell, The Belle of Amherst by William Luce, and Emily: An Amethyst Remembrance by Chris Cragin. Though each of these texts are quite different in structure, they each depict woman who is strong and loving; she is not afraid of the world, but rather it is her choice to exclude herself from it.

  • 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.

Barrymore will air on Great Performances, Friday, January 31 at 9 p.m., ET on PBS (check local listings). Set in 1942, Barrymore shines a dramatic spotlight on the acclaimed—and notorious— John Barrymore, capturing the famously combative star in the final months of his life as he struggles to prepare for a backer’s audition to stage a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph in Richard III. Once among the most acclaimed stage actors of his generation, as well as a central member of Broadway and Hollywood’s most famous acting dynasty, Barrymore is now in the twilight of his career, no longer a leading box office draw and wrestling with the ravages of his life of excess. With equal parts lacerating wit and piercing despair, the faded icon revisits the highs and lows of his theatrical triumphs and remarkable life.

The Ohio State University 1980 Approved by ~~!j(?~ A({V~ Department of Theatre TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION . 1 CHAPTER I. Historical Background •. 3 II. Script Analysis ••• 15 III. Performance Analysis 34 BIBLIOGRAPHY . • • • • . • • • 50 i INTRODUCTION The culmination of the work leading to the Master of Fine Arts in acting is a performance project and thesis concerning the project. The project should allow the actor to demonstrate as many of the skills learned in his training as possible and to demonstrate his range. As my performance project I chose the play The Belle of Amherst by William Luce, a one-woman play based on the life of the American poet Emily Dickinson. I performed the play on April 2 and 3, 1979, in the Laboratory Theatre at Ohio State University. A one-character play is an appropriate performance project for several reasons. Change and variety are essential to drama. In a standard several-character play variety is achieved through more than one char­ acter, so, while the variety of the play may be vast, the range of each character may be limited. In a one-character play, however, the change and variety can only be established by one person, creating a much wider range of emotions in that character. Also, the actor in a one-character play has a greater control over the finished product, which makes the product a better example of his work.
