I refer to it as “The Best Five Days of Your Summer!” We are very excited to call the historic Gettysburg College campus our new home for what we consider the “core festival”—the Thursday June 12 through Saturday June 14— of the event. This year, attendees will be able to enjoy over 50 live performances on three outdoor stages and four indoor venues. We have teamed with three wonderful new partners to present the entertainment on these three primary stages: Fitzgerald Auto Malls, XFINITY and Troegs Brewing. The best local, regional and national entertainment—representing Broadway to Alternative Rock, from Classical to Country, Blues to R&B— will energize Gettysburg this coming week! The US Army Concert Band and Soldiers’ Chorus returns as does the always popular Blues BBQ; and we will offer an all-new comedy night—Laughing With Lincoln—present- ed by Steven B. Wiley and the Lincoln Leadership Institute. We close the event on Father’s Day, June 15th with a powerful, memorable production of “Beyond Glory”, starring world-re- nowned actor, Stephen Lang! We are selling tickets but all are affordable—the most expensive ticket price being $50 (and that includes a ‘meet and greet’ with Stephen Lang!). Most tickets are in the $15 to $30 range for some really world-class entertainment—the caliber of tal- ent you expect to spend much more to see! We will offer seven different visual arts exhibits to showcase the best talent in the region.

Winkler) ____________________________________________ Reader (Sheldon Anderson) ____________________________________________ Reader (Andrew R. L. Cayton) ____________________________________________ Reader (Marguerite S. Shaffer) ____________________________________________ Graduate School Representative (William J. Doan) ABSTRACT THE DANCE OF THE COMEDIANS: THE PEOPLE, THE PRESIDENT, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF POLITICAL STANDUP COMEDY IN AMERICA by Peter McClelland Robinson This dissertation argues that the emergent performance of political standup comedy became a significant agent for mediating and complicating the relationship between the American people and the American presidency, particularly during the middle half of the twentieth century. The Dance of the Comedians examines standup comedy—particularly its ramifications for the presidency and Americans’ perceptions of that institution—as a uniquely compelling form of cultural performance. Part ceremonial ritual and part playful improvisation, the performance of political comedy in its diverse forms became a potent site of liminality that empowered all of its constituents—the comic, the audience, and the object of the joke—to reexamine and renegotiate the roles of all concerned. It is this tripartite bond of reciprocal

  • Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera — Take 16: White Art, Black Men Manuscript TAKE 16 © Jackfritscher.Com WHITE ART, BLACK MEN RACISM IS ESSENTIALLY SEX
    How To Quote This Material ©Jack Fritscher www.JackFritscher.com Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera — Take 16: White Art, Black Men Manuscript TAKE 16 © JackFritscher.com WHITE ART, BLACK MEN RACISM IS ESSENTIALLY SEX Race fascinated Robert Mapplethorpe as much as sex and more than gender. The only self-portrait that even the shocking Mapplethorpe could never exhibit was himself made up in black face. In 1979, Robert sat bolt upright, startled erotically, by William Friedkin’s searing screenplay, Cruising, which captured precisely the dangers and excitement of leathersex in the New York nightlife that was Robert’s milieu. Thirty minutes into the controversial film, star Al Pacino resists—because he is an undercover cop—interrogation by cops who do not know his identity. Suddenly, a door opens. A huge black man strides tall into the room. He is built like a linebacker. He wears only cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and a white jockstrap. He backhands Pacino, sending him flying across the room.
