    The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

    1/137 Research Report 1997-1999 One of the Vital Activities of Any National Museum Is Research. the Myriad Public Functions of A

    Research Report 1997-1999 One of the vital activities of any national museum is research. The myriad public functions of a modern museum are dependent on sound knowledge of the objects in the museum's care. Research allows the Victoria and Albert Museum to play a role with the creative industries; it underpins education programmes that render the collections meaningful to school children, students and distance learners; it enables the giving of pleasure to a mass audience. Scholarship, alongside collections management and conservation, guarantees the continued prosperity of the nation's heritage. This report covers a three-year period in which hundreds of exhibitions, books, journal articles and electronic publications have made available a vast amount of scholarly material. Victoria and Albert Museum specialists on the art and design of the last thousand years, across all continents, have continuously published ground-breaking research in significant quantities. Apart from the individual efforts of the Museum's major scholars, perhaps a particularly impressive aspect of the research effort in this period has been the collaborative projects undertaken with universities and museums in Britain and abroad. They include topics as varied as Gothic art, historic tapestries, Anglo-Indian furniture, the Victorians, modern product design and electronic media. As research becomes more interdisciplinary, and technology becomes more central, so the methods of research progress. This report shows that a powerful and varied research culture remains one of the distinguishing characteristics of the V&A. It reports on the last years of the 20th century. I think we can all be assured that the research effort will continue and will enlighten the new century as much as it did the old one.

Miracle on 42nd Street is the First film to focus on the story of affordable housing for artists. SYNOPSIS Miracle on 42nd Street is a one-hour documentary about the untold history and impact of the Manhattan Plaza apartment complex in New YorK City. Starting with the bacKground of the blighted Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the building’s initial commercial Failure in the mid- 1970s, the story recounts how – in a moment oF bold inspiration or maybe desperation - the buildings were “re-purposed” as subsidized housing For people who worKed in the perForming arts, becoming one of the First intentional, government supported, afFordable housing For artist residences. The social experiment was a resounding success in the lives oF the tenants, and it led the way in the transformation of the midtown neighborhood, the Broadway theater district and local economy. The Film makes a compelling case For the economic value of the arts and artists in America. The success oF Manhattan Plaza has become a role model For similar experiments, which the Film Features, around the country, in places like Ajo, Arizona, Providence, Rhode Island and Rahway, New Jersey. Narrated by acclaimed actor/writer Chazz Palminteri, Miracle on 42nd Street features on-camera interviews with people whose lives were positively impacted by the complex, including Alicia Keys, Terrence Howard, Donald Faison, Larry David and Samuel L JacKson, Angela Lansbury, Giancarlo Esposito, and many others.
