ABOUT THE PLAY The show opens with the Baltimore opening of a revival of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." The cast of the revival is on stage and receiving final instructions. In the cast with producer-actor Fred Graham are his former wife, Lilli; Lois, a singer in whom he is interested, and Bill Calhoun who is Lois' interest. The irresponsible Bill informs Lois that. he has signed Graham's name to a $10,000 IOU for gambling debts. She begs him to reform. Graham and Lilli patch up their differences as they reminisce nostalgically about other shows in which they have appeared together. Graham sends a bouquet to Lois which is delivered in error to Lilli. As ''The Taming of the Shrew" gets under way, Lois, as Bianca, and Bill, as Lucentio, discuss Bianca's inabilityto marry until her older sister has been affianced. Graham, as Petruchio, arrives in search of a rich wife, and although Katharina, played by Lilli, states her inalterable opposition to males, Petruchio agrees to marry her, even though she is not the wife of whom he has dreamed. Lilli discovers that her bouquet was intended for Lois and threatens to leave the show. Her departure is pre- vented by two gangsters who have come to collect the IOU with Graham's signature. How they do this and bring about a reconciliation, we will not divulge here, but we do promise a happy ending.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR We are pleased to welcome James Kinney back to direct his third pro- duction for WVLO after his previous successful productions of "Paint Your Wagon" (1978) and "South Pacific" (1979). He has been a veteran actor and director for numerous musicals and plays in the Santa Clara Valley during the past ten years. He played Fagin in WVLO's 1974 production of "Oliver" and Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" in 1978. Kinney's other directorial credits include productions for San Jose's Gilbert & Sulllvan Society, Los Gatos-SaratogaCommunity Players, and San Jose Civic Light Opera. His most memorable roles include Ali Hakim, King Pellinore, Dickinson and Jack Point. In 1976 he portrayed Petruchio in a local production of "Kiss Me, Kate." Jim lives in Willow Glen with his wife, Nancy, and two daughters, and teaches in the San Jose Unified School District. His various talents and experi- ences, especially with Shakespearean plays, certainly qualify him for this adaptation of the Bard's best-known work. GRATEFUL .ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Argonaut School.

Consisting of programs from performances at Theatre Memphis between the years 1975 and 2007, the collection provides invaluable information on the operation of community theatre in Memphis. Each program includes the names of the director, cast and crew as well as information on the production. Theatre Memphis was established as the Little Theatre in 1921. For several years plays were performed in a variety of locations in Memphis including Germania Hall and the Nineteenth Century Club. In 1929 the Little Theatre was headquartered at the Pink Palace Museum Playhouse where they would remain until the mid-1970s. When the Pink Palace closed for renovations, the theatrical company opened their own venue on Perkins Extended in East Memphis. Changing their name to Theatre Memphis, productions resumed in 1975 and have continued until the present day. 2 THEATRE MEMPHIS PROGRAMS COLLECTION BOX 1 Folder 1 Items 6 1975-1976 (56th Season) SUNSHINE BOYS by Neil Simon.

  • The Inventory of the Jose Ferrer Collection #1596
    The Inventory of the Jose Ferrer Collection #1596 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center Jose Ferrer (1912-1992) Inventory 2001 Most of the materials in the collection are related to the stage plays, musicals, and televisions productions with which Jose Ferrer was associated :from 1948-1988 as producer, director, author, and/or actor.
