In the numbers that have both Persians and Jews cast members wear either the RED or BLUE depending upon if they are a Persian or a Jew. Scenes that are Persians Only or Jews Only are for the entire chorus wearing the appropriate vest color. 1. Overture & Setting the Scene (Page 7): The narrator introduces the Kingdom of Shushan 481 BCE, the people (Persians and Jews and each of the key characters – with just a bit of context and some humor). Like in many classic Disney movies the narration is filming a close up of a classic story book as the narrator reads the opening and between each scene. This gives us an easy transition devise between songs AND allows a way to carry the audience through the story line and into “different Disney worlds” from the movies we are pulling the most popular songs from Disney movies. Instrumental: When you wish upon a star, Once upon a Dream, Part of your world 2. Introduction of the Characters in the Kingdom of Shushan (Page 9): The ability for Jews to live and worship as they please AND the impending threat of Haman. The Jews of Shushan - Happily Sing “Baruch Atah Adonai” a slight squeeze of inflection to be (Hakuna Matata – Lion King). This number includes kids and kids-at-heart (congregants who sent in their 1-line video of the chorus). (Mordi, Esther, The Rebbe of Shushan, + cameo stills by congregants and possibly some choir members) 3. King A & Others praise themselves (Page 11): King A happily takes credit for how cool he is and how awesome Sushan is by singing: You’re Welcome (Moana) (solos by other members of the Shushan community share their own self-aggrandizing perspective) (King A, the Mohel of Shushan, the Bagel Baker of Shushan, Mordi, Haman, Bigthan and Teresh) 4. We learn of how “mal” Haman is (Page 14): Haman and her general ill-will, hatred of the Jews and desire for the throne is introduced with “Haman” (Gaston – Beauty and the Beast) (Bigthan, Teresh, Haman, Persian solos #1 Libby - #2 Scott - #3 Rebecca H - #4 Judy Cappelman) 5. The Party (Page 17): King A. throws a party and demands that Vashti Dances – she refuses and is killed. Vashti and her Lady in Waiting sing I’ll Just Say No (How Far I’ll Go - Moana). (King A. Haman, Vashti, Vashti’s Lady in Waiting: Gillian + Persian soloists with opening sighs) 6. Cheering the King with the concept of a Contest (Page 18): Hamon and the Persians convince the bereaved King to hold a Beauty Contest. They convince him that having a beautiful wife is 4 simply taking care of “The Bare Necessities.” King A. gets excited by the idea and makes this number a mash-up by singing the final chorus of “Someday My Queen Will Come” (Page 21) (Someday My Prince Will Come – Snow White) (King A. Haman, Bigthan, Teresh, Persian solos #4 Andrew - #5 Jim - #6 Paul) 7. The Contest (Page 21): The most beautiful and confident women in Persia (pageant finalists including Esther) have a sing-off showing how determined they are to win (and showing off for King A) with “I Just Can’t wait to be Queen.” (I Just Can’t Wait to the King – Lion King). (King A., Haman, Bigthan, Teresh, Finalist #1 Anastasia, Finalist #2 Drizella, Mordi, Esther, Chorus ALL as Jews) 8. The King and Esther Fall in Love and seek a new world (Page 24): King A. selects Esther, crowns her Queen and the new love birds talk of how together they will create “A Whole New World.” Esther demonstrates that she plans to move the Kingdom toward justice and could be an obstacle to Haman’s plans. Mordi and King A. piss-off Haman by celebrating the King’s marriage at the end of the song. (King A. and Esther) 9. Haman’s Plot (Page 26): Hamon and her hench-people lay out her murderous plot to kill the Jews and to Kill the King with “Be Prepared” (Lion King) while Mordi (hidden) overhears EVERYTHING. (Haman, Bigthan, Teresh, King A., Persians [small chorus], Mordi, Chorus ALL as Persians) 10. Convincing Esther and Planning the Invitation (Page 29): Mordi tells of Haman’s plot and steels the courage of the Jews and Esther with “We’ll Make a Mensch Out of You.” (I’ll Make a Man Out of You – Mulan). This includes the iconic line: “let’s get down to business and defeat Haman!” (Mordi, Esther, Jewish solos #1 Cory - #2 Don - #3 Shaina + the Just a Little Something Baker, the Knish Maker and the Fish Monger as Jewish Chorus, Chorus ALL as Jews) 11. Hamon and the Persians build the gallows (Page 31): They sing of their hate “Heigh- Ho” including “ to build the gallows we go.” (Snow White). (Haman, Bigthan, Teresh + five Persians = Haman and the Seven Ethical Dwarfs including 2 solos Persian solos #7 Michelle - #8 Vicki + the Ethical Dwarf Choir: Donna and Anita) 12. The Invitation (Page 33): Esther and her entourage (great solos for choir members) invite the King and Hamon to Dinner with “Be Our Guest.” (Beauty and the Beast) Esther, The Just a Little Something Baker, the Knish Maker, the Fish-Monger and the Bagel Baker of Shushan + King A.

  • Animated Stereotypes –
    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • Beauty and the Beast
    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: BELLE (Stage Age: 18-30) Belle is the original fairy tale heroine–kind, gentle, and beautiful–but with an important 21st Century twist. She is a strong, intelligent, spirited and independent young woman. Belle is the moral conscience of the story, elevated by her thoughts and deeds. The maturity and depth of her character allow her to see the true beauty and spirit within The Beast, and to love him for it. This role requires a very strong singer who portrays innocence with her singing and speaking voice. MezzoSoprano: Low A-High F THE BEAST (Stage Age: 21-35) The Beast’s tortured soul is evident for all to see. He is paying the ultimate price for a moment of mean-spiritedness, and wishes beyond wishing that he could rectify his mistake. There is anger and menace in The Beast’s appearance and behavior, but increasingly we see his soft and endearing side as he interacts with Belle. It becomes clear that he is a loving, feeling, human being trapped within a hideous creature’s body. This role requires a very strong singer, and the actor must have a strong speaking voice and stage presence. Baritone: A–High F GASTON (Stage Age: 21-35) Gaston is the absolute antithesis of The Beast. Although he is physically handsome, he is shallow, completely self-centered, not very bright, and thrives on attention. However, when his ego is bruised he becomes a very dangerous foe for The Beast, Belle and Maurice. This role requires a strong singer and character actor who moves well.

  • Ruth and Esther: Wise Living Far from Home
    Jan/Feb 2017 Ruth and Esther: Wise Living Far from Home ALSO: THE GREatEST STORIES EVER TOLD Friends: Can you imagine having your wallet and phone stolen while visiting in a foreign country? Your identification, passport, cash, bank cards—gone!—and with no means to call for assistance. Imagine being left with nothing but the clothes on your back, lost in a place where you couldn’t even read the signs. I, as a middle-aged white guy, might have the privilege of at least being recognized as a clueless tourist. People might show hospitality to me out of pity. But what if I were part of a despised class of citizens? What if people assumed I were a thief or a homeless person? Being powerless in a foreign land can be both frightening and dangerous. In January, Arie Leder explores the stories of two biblical women who navigate that cliff-edge of being powerless in a foreign land. They act wisely and rely on God’s strength in distressing situations. Then in February, Art Schoonveld turns our attention to the parables of Jesus, showing how Christ illuminated the kingdom of God with real-life stories. These are the greatest stories ever told. May you be refreshed, refocused, and renewed in God’s Word! —Steven Koster To d aJan/Feb 2017 y refresh, refocus, renew TODAY (USPS 185-140), Volume 67, Number 1, published bimonthly by ReFrame Media, a division of Back to God Ministries International, at 6555 West College Drive, Palos Heights, IL 60463.

  • Disney Songs Musical Elements
    1 Classroom Online Resource Document (CORD) Follow the Conductor: An Introduction to Musical Elements Gelareh Naseri [email protected] Gluck Fellows Program of the ARTS University of California, Riverside 2 Follow the Conductor: An Introduction to Musical Elements By learning about five main musical elements in this one-hour workshop, students learn to listen to music in a different way: more actively and more consciously. Also, identifying these elements in different pieces of music can lead them to appreciate and enjoy music more than before. Through related activities, students learn about these five musical elements: Beat, Meter, Tempo, Dynamics, and Pitch. The main activity in this workshop is finding these musical elements in Disney cartoon songs (while they are being played on a screen) and moving arms or clapping or singing following the conductor (the instructor). A list of all YouTube active listening examples (A to I) is given on page 4. Here are five musical elements that students learn about: 1. Beat (The pulse in music): Students move their body according to the beat of the music that they are listening to. Active video listening example: A 2. Meter (Duple and Triple): Students learn to move their arms and conduct a duple (or triple) meter and count up to two (or three). Then, they listen to two Disney songs, and find out if it is better to count up to two (for a duple meter song), or up to three (for a triple meter song) for each song. Active video listening examples: B and C (duple meter); D and E (triple meter) 3 3.
