Guys Dolls The Boyfriend How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying Can-Can These are just a few of the many Broadway shows produced by the legendary Cy Feuer, who, in partnership with the late Ernest H. Martin, brought to life many of America s most enduring musicals. Cy Feuer was at the center of these creations, as well as the films based on two of Broadway s most exceptional musicals, Cabaret and A Chorus Line. He was the man in charge, the one responsible for putting everything together, and almost more important for holding it together. Now, at age 92, as Cy Feuer looks back on the remarkable career he had on Broadway and in Hollywood, the stories he has to tell of the people he worked with are fabulously rich and entertaining.

  • MEMORY of the WORLD REGISTER the Wizard of Oz
    MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming 1939), produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer REF N° 2006-10 PART A – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1 SUMMARY In 1939, as the world fell into the chaos of war, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a film that espoused kindness, charity, friendship, courage, fortitude, love and generosity. It was dedicated to the “young, and the young in heart” and today it remains one of the most beloved works of cinema, embraced by audiences of all ages throughout the world. It is one of the most widely seen and influential films in all of cinema history. The Wizard of Oz (1939) has become a true cinema classic, one that resonates with hope and love every time Dorothy Gale (the inimitable Judy Garland in her signature screen performance) wistfully sings “Over the Rainbow” as she yearns for a place where “troubles melt like lemon drops” and the sky is always blue. George Eastman House takes pride in nominating The Wizard of Oz for inclusion in the Memory of the World Register because as custodian of the original Technicolor 3-strip nitrate negatives and the black and white sequences preservation negatives and soundtrack, the Museum has conserved these precious artefacts, thus ensuring the survival of this film for future generations. Working in partnership with the current legal owner, Warner Bros., the Museum has made it possible for this beloved film classic to continue to enchant and delight audiences. The original YCM negatives have been conserved at the Museum since 1975, and Warner Bros. recently completed our holdings of the film by assigning the best surviving preservation elements of the opening and closing black and white sequences and the soundtrack to our care.

    The American Century Theater presents Audience Guide Edited by Jack MarshallNovember 5–27 Rosslyn Spectrum Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, but overlooked American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.

    FORTUNATE DREAMS BY CURTIS LOFGREN WGAw # 1623265 2621 Columbia Avenue Richmond CA 94804 510-526-3452 [email protected] FADE IN INT. DREAM INN HOTEL-JUNE 27-1975 Oscar-winning actor JACK LEMMON and his wife, actress FELICIA FARR, have arrived at their hotel, the best this small town has to offer. Famed actor RAY BOLGER’S impromptu song and dance routine has just ended, and the echo of APPLAUSE is still ruminating through the entire establishment. Lemmon is tired and cranky. He rings the bell in the deserted lobby while his wife rubs his shoulders. JACK LEMMON (moaning) Oh, right there. FELICIA Please let me drive home after the shoot, alright? Let’s stop at that cute Scandinavian town, what’s its name? Soulbang? She stops rubbing his shoulders and rings the bell again. Jack throws up his hands and gives her a classic JACK LEMMON rant. A screenplay of the 1960 English classic, THE ENTERTAINER, adjusted for NBC, is sitting on the ledge of the desk. Jack is running his lines, but stops in mid-sentence. JACK LEMMON A seven day shooting schedule? I must have been crazy. And the money? I might as well donate it. Felicia looks into her tiny mirror and adjusts her make-up. FELICIA You did. Remember, your wife’s Rodeo Drive shopping fund? Felicia nibbles at his ear. JACK LEMMON Money isn’t everything. Laurence Olivier may be a master thespian in England, but there’s another mule kicking in his stall here in America. FELICIA What does that mean? She adds a little lipstick here, a little powder there.

Jon Tracy (Berkeley Playhouse, Aurora Theatre Company, Shotgun Players, San Francisco Playhouse, Magic Theatre) helms this musical from the Golden Age of Broadway, featuring a cast of 22, and choreography by Chris Black (Berkeley Playhouse, Aurora Theatre Company). GUYS AND DOLLS plays March 21 through April 28 (Press opening: March 23) at the Julia Morgan Theatre in Berkeley. For tickets ($17-60) and more information, the public may visit berkeleyplayhouse.org or call 510-845-8542x351. This oddball romantic comedy, about which Newsweek declared, “This is why Broadway was born!,” finds gambler Nathan Detroit desperate for money to pay for his floating crap game. To seed his opportunity, he bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson a thousand dollars that Sky will not be able to make the next girl he sees, Save a Soul Mission do-gooder Sarah Brown, fall in love with him. While Sky eventually convinces Sarah to be his girl, Nathan fights his own battles with Adelaide, his fiancé of 14 years. Often called “the perfect musical,” GUYS AND DOLLS features such bright and brassy songs as “A Bushel and a Peck” “Luck Be a Lady,” and “Adelaide's Lament.” GUYS AND DOLLS premiered on Broadway in 1950; directed by renowned playwright and director George S.
