OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We Can’T Imagine a More Perfect Show to Give Our 2016–2017 Season a Great Launch (If You’Ll Pardon the Pun)
OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show. -

April 26, 27, & 28 2012
Volume XV Issue 3 The Horace Mann Theatre Company's Tri-Annual Publication Spring 2012 April 26, 27, & 28 2012 Cover Art by Jean Mariano (‘12) 2 Off icers Notes FROM: Thespian Editors Gamblers, showgirls, drunks, preaching “mission dolls,” and Mindy’s cheesecake (or was it stru- del?). What a way to end the year. All the way back in May 2011, we were so excited to hear that the HMTC would perform Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls. The show has fun dancing, a hilarious book, memorable lyrics, and exceptional music. The slapstick comedy and larger-than-life characters translate well into high school theatre, allowing students to step out of their comfort zones whether they’re singing, dancing, acting, or design- ing. It’s a classic. But there’s something more about Guys and Dolls. Maybe it’s the famous Brooklyn accents. Maybe it’s the homage to a fairytale New York that existed somewhere between 1950 and our imaginations. Or maybe it’s the way sitting in the audience or even listening to the CD can immediately put a huge grin on our faces. Like Clark Field in spring or cotton candy, Guys and Dolls is just plain good. We’re hoping this issue of The Thespian, which of course focuses on Guys and Dolls, captures the musical’s essence of simple delight against a backdrop of American history. Explore the many iterations of Guys and Dolls – from 1950 to today! Check out our spotlight on our new musical director Bill Stanley! And fill out our hilarious crossword puzzle mixingG+D and HMTC trivia! As we wrap up our APs, SATs, and even our high school careers, we can’t think of a better way to launch into summer break than ripping open your Thes- pian and watching us shimmy and sneeze our way through Gross Theatre. -
Then and Now Substantial Contributions to the History of Musical Theatre
THE OPPRESSION AND SEXISM OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN: THEN AND NOW SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF MUSICAL THEATRE by KELLI OWENS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Musical Theatre in the College of Arts and Humanities and in the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term, 2014 Thesis Chair: Earl Weaver, MFA © 2014 Kelli Owens ii ABSTRACT A wise Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Freedom is never given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed (King 1).” For as long as men and women have shared the planet, sexism has been a universal issue in civilization. In a social justice context, American society has found ways to oppress people for centuries. The Oxford Dictionary defines sexism as a “prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex (“sexism”).” Voting rights in America were established in 1790, but it took years of petitioning at various women’s rights conventions before the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution stating "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex" was passed in 1920 (“Nineteenth Amendment”). Traditionally, men were supposed to be the strong, decisive, driven, courageous, money-making breed, while women were expected to be the nurturing, affectionate, weak subordinates. Today, we find men and women working in careers previously linked with sexism; men as nurses and teachers, women as CEOs and factory workers. -
