The Dolphin Show: Welcome!

On behalf of the cast, crew and team we welcome you to the 73rd Annual Dolphin Show, !

The Dolphin Show is America’s largest student-produced musical, which means that every aspect of the production was conceived, designed and executed by students. For the past 73 years, Northwestern undergraduate students have come together to create and celebrate musical theater. This year we are proud to continue that Dolphin legacy with over 150 students from all six undergraduate schools.

We were drawn to Titanic because it represented the chance to tell a truly epic story that demanded to be presented on a grand scale, and provided opportunities both artistically and physically for the myriad of unbelievable artistsat Northwestern, all in the context of a historical event that has permeated modern culture. On a more literal level, the purpose of the people building the largest moving object in the world paralleled our own desires for the Dolphin community to create a show that was larger, more ambitious, and better together than could ever be accomplished alone.

We would like to thank our cast and team for their passion, dedication and commitment throughout the process of creating this show. However, limiting the thanks to what this incredible group of people have done for the last few weeks isn’t fair to the actual amount of time that has gone into making the 73rd Annual Dolphin Show possible. For months so many people have worked tirelessly on a dream that is going to be realized tonight, on this stage, and that work helps us appreciate even more what The Dolphin Show is about: a celebration of a group of people dedicated not only to the creation of a musical, but to the creation of a community. That community doesn’t end with those people who signed up months ago. There are countless other friends, families, faculty, and mentors without whom this would not be possible and to them we extend our utmost gratitude. We would like to thank Cahn Auditorium and Northwestern University for their generous support and the opportunity to continue such a storied tradition. Lastly, we would be remiss if we didn’t thank you. By coming tonight, you are joining in that tradition and we could not be more excited to welcome you to the family, be this your 1st or 73rd time with The Dolphin Show.

Sail On, Jack, Izzy, and Brendan

Artistic Producer, Business Producer, and Director

The Dolphin Show: A History

In 1939, a group of Northwestern University students formed an swimming group called the Dolphin Club. In 1940, the team held a fundraiser to raise money to travel to Florida to swim in a competition, and created a “swim carnival”, a water show in which the swimmers sang and danced in the pool! The water show was so much fun that the team decided to do another carnival the next year, and the show grew bigger and bigger each year.

In 1942, the Dolphin Club’s show teamed up with the Waa-Mu Show, another popular musical show at Northwestern, and together, the actors and swimmers combined their talents to create the best show the Dolphin Club had ever done! Unfortunately, because of issues with money, the show was cancelled, and the swimmers feared they would never see the show again.

But, in 1944, The Dolphin Show emerged again, combining the men’s swimming club with the women’s water ballet group. The show grew over the next several decades, and as the musical grew bigger and bigger, The Dolphin Show moved from the pool to the Cahn stage in 1970. Since then, the Dolphin Show has become an annual Northwestern University tradition in Cahn Auditorium, enjoyed by students, faculty and the greater Chicagoland communities alike, and featuring a team of over 150 undergraduate students.

Thank you for attending the 73rd Annual Dolphin Show. Enjoy the production!

The Dolphin Show: Set Design

The Dolphin Show is America’s largest student produced musical, and there is a huge team of Northwestern students who are working on the show! Some of the people on the team are designers, meaning it is their job to make the set, the structures onstage that the actors are walking on, the costumes, all of the clothing the actors are wearing, the props, any of the things the actors are carrying onstage, and the lights and the sound.

Joseph Entenmann, our set designer, says this about the set: “The director and I were both incredibly excited about working with scale, texture, and flexibility with our set for Titanic. We wanted it to feel large onstage, and like the world continued offstage. We wanted to create many different places at once, so that the set is able to change as the play goes on. We wanted to show the textures, like old wood, or painted metal, that the passengers would have seen on Titanic.” Check out some of his renderings, or drawings, below!

The Dolphin Show: Costume Design

Cassie Bowers, our costume designer for Titanic, made these collages of her design ideas, to present to the team to show the different styles she was making for each of the different classes. Cassie says, “Since most of the characters in Titanic are based on real people who were aboard the ship, the design focuses on historical accuracy to period and realism. There are four classes of people on the ship: the crew, the first class passengers, the second class passengers, and the third class passengers. The costumes all work together to help to separate the people on the ship. Then, in the second act, a lot of the barriers between classes break down as all classes are attempting to survive, and they are no longer worried about appearances.” Check out some of her research below!

Titanic: A History

The Titanic was the largest, and grandest ship of her time. The , the company that built the Titanic, spent over five years building the massive boat. When it was finally finished, the ship was huge, with a grand ballroom, gymnasium, squash court, dining rooms, libraries… the list goes on and on! The Titanic was called “unsinkable”, because of the new design that had sixteen watertight compartments in the bottom of the ship, which meant that the rooms could be closed shut so water wouldn’t leak into the rest of the boat. The builders also designed the boat so that even if water leaked into four of the compartments, the ship would still float. White Star Line was so confident that nothing could happen to a ship so big and important that they only put a total of 20 lifeboats on the Titanic, which could only carry around 1,300 passengers, or about half of the people onboard. The Titanic left , England on April 10th, 1912, with over 2,200 passengers and crewmembers on board, but never made it to its destination, New York City. Just before midnight on April 14th, the Titanic struck a massive iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland. The boat’s crash into the iceberg broke part of the bottom of the boat, and filled five of the sixteen compartments with water, and the ship began to sink. When the ship began to fill with water, the crew started putting people into lifeboats, with women, children, and first class passengers going first. Although each lifeboat was able to fix up to 65 passengers, some of them had as few as twelve people in a boat. By the time the last boat left, there were still over 1,500 passengers on board, and at 2:20AM on April 15th, the Titanic sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The tragedy left only 705 survivors, who were rescued later that night by the Carpathia, another ship that had picked up Titanic’s radio signals and came to rescue the survivors. The story of the Titanic is a sad, and important piece of history. After the Titanic sunk, many different countries started to make new laws about better controlling the building of big ships, and about safety and fairness onboard, to help make sure that what happened to the Titanic would never happen again. By learning about the Titanic and its history, you are becoming part of a long line of people who make sure that the passengers whose lives were lost are remembered and honored throughout history.

Titanic: The Largest Moving Object In the World!

On April 10th, 1912 when the Titanic launched its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, it was the largest moving object in the world. Weighing over 46,000 tons, spanning 882 feet, and towering at 25 stories tall, the RMS Titanic was the largest boat ever built during its time, carrying over 2,220 passengers and crewmembers!

A boat that big means lots of supplies! In the opening number of Titanic, the stevedore, the person in charge of loading and unloading all of the cargo from the ship, sings about all of the supplies they are packing on the Titanic. Check out some of the numbers below!

• 7,000 heads of fresh lettuce, Titanic! o If you stacked all the heads of lettuce on top of each other, you’d have a tower that was four times the size of the Sears Tower! • 36,000 Oranges, Titanic! o If you lined up all of the oranges on the Titanic in a straight line, it would be the same as the length of 300 football fields! • 42,000 fresh eggs, Titanic! o The total weight off all the eggs on the Titanic is about the same as an average hippopotamus! • 122,000 pounds of meat, poultry and fish, Titanic! o That’s the same as the weight of 13 elephants!

What Would You Bring On The Titanic? If you were travelling on the Titanic, what would YOU bring? 300 pounds of jellybeans? 5,000 pizzas? 18,000 bottles of soda?! Make a list below!

Titanic: All Aboard!

When Titanic set sail for New York, there were 1,343 passengers aboard the massive ship. All of the passengers were separated by class, which is a way people organize others based on how much money they have.

There were three different classes on the Titanic: First Class, for the most wealthy, Second Class, for those with some, but not a lot, of money, and Third Class, for the poorest passengers. Director Brendan Flynn talks about the three different classes like this:

• The First Class passengers were on the boat to “see and be seen”, and to show off their wealth • The Second Class passengers were on the boat on an expensive vacation, a special trip that they normally would not get to take. • The Third Class passengers were on the boat to travel from Europe to America, to look for better jobs and to start a better life.

Something important to think about when talking about class is how different classes have more or less opportunities than others. People like the First Class passengers on the Titanic had money to spend on expensive food, nice clothes and shoes, were able to visit the doctor when they got sick, had the chance to go to school, and even had extra money to spend, while people like the Third Class passengers struggled to buy food, couldn’t afford to buy new clothes or go to the doctor, and had to work instead of going to school, even if they were very young. It was also very hard to move between classes, which meant that people who were born wealthy stayed wealthy, and people who were born poor stayed poor.

QUESTION TIME

What do you think about the class system? What are some things that are good, and some things that are hard about it? Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not?

Class is still a very important part of our lives today. Talk with an adult about what they think about class, and what has changed, and what has stayed the same, since the Titanic passengers boarded the ship.

Titanic: Learn Morse Code!

Back in 1912, ships were not able to use cell phones or the Internet to get in contact with each other, like they do today. Instead, they used radios to send each other messages about when they would be getting close to each other, if they needed help getting in touch with someone onshore, talk to each other about the weather, and send out messages if they needed help.

On the day that the Titanic sunk, radio dispatchers tried sending radio signals to Titanic to let them know that they were in danger. Even The Californian, another ship out on the Atlantic night, sent the Titanic a warning message that they had stopped sailing for the night due to ice, but all of these messages were ignored and at 11:40PM, the Titanic hit an iceberg!

Left: The Titanic had two radio operators, or telegraphists, on board: Jack G. Phillips (left), first in command, and Harold Bride (right), his assistant.

Right: This is the only known photograph of the Titanic’s radio room. This photograph was taken by a passenger named Rev. , who took this picture, along with several other photographs of the ship, before he got off when ship docked in Q ueenstown, just escaping the Titanic’s sinking. You can find more of Browne’s photographs of the Titanic here: http://lightbox.time.com/2012/04/ 04/titanic

Titanic: Create Your Own Character!

All of the characters in Titanic are based on real people that travelled on the actual boat in 1912. The actors and designers have all been learning about the characters they are playing, in order to look and sound like the real people.

Use the space below to create your own, new character to travel on the Titanic! What is their job? What types of clothes to they wear? Why are they traveling on the boat? If you run out of space, grab a new piece of paper!

Titanic: Sink or Float?

The Titanic was a massive ship, weighing thousands of tons and made mostly of steel. So, how was it that a ship that weighed so much, was able to float on water and sail across the ocean? Archimedes was a famous mathematician who lived in ancient Greece. One day when he was taking a bath, Archimedes discovered that when he got into the tub, some water would rise up and overflow over the edge of the tub, displacing the water. Archimedes realized that if an object weighs less than the water it displaces, the object will float. This is known as buoyancy or the Archimedes principle. Even though ships are made out of metal, they are lighter than the amount of water they displace because they are not completely solid. The bottom part of a ship, called the hull, is hollow, which helps make a ship float on the ocean. Now, you prove it!

You can try these science experiments about buoyancy at home! All you need are the supplies listed below:

You will need: • Modeling clay • Pail or bucket large • Coffee can with lid enough to cover the • String coffee can • Scissors • Water • An adult to help out! Part One: Take a ball of modeling clay and put in some water. What happens? It sinks. Now take the same piece of clay and spread it out into a bowl shape. Put it on the water and it will float. Why?

Part Two: 1. Fill the coffee can with water. Cover it with the lid. 2. Cut a string or cord about 1 yard length. Double the string for strength and attach it to the can so that it can be held by the loop (get an adult to help with this part!) 3. Lower the can into a bucket of water. Raise the can up to just below the surface of water, and see how heavy the can is. 4. Then raise the can full of water up out of the bucket. Does it feel heavier or lighter than when it was in the water? Why? Talk to an adult about what you discover!

Titanic: What’s For Dessert?

Dining for the first class passengers on the Titanic was a very expensive and grand experience. Many of the first class passengers ate their meals together in a massive dining room, which could hold over 500 passengers at a time. Many of the first class passengers would get dressed up to go to dinner, and would wear their most expensive ball gowns and jewelry. The dining room had large armchairs to sit in, and food was served on expensive china plates. The final dinner served to the first class passengers before the ship crashed was a 10-course meal, with fancy appetizers, soup, salad, fish, main courses, and desserts. Talk about a full stomach!

Make your own Titanic dessert!

One of the last desserts served on the Titanic was a French Vanilla ice cream. You can make your own at home with some simple ingredients and help from an adult!

Ingredients: • 2 cups heavy cream • Small 1-quart bowl • 1 cup whole milk • Chopped ice • 2/3 cup sugar • 3/4 cup kosher salt • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla • Electric hand mixer OR whisk • Very large mixing bowl • Towel

Directions: 1. Combine cream, milk, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. 2. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator or in an ice bath until completely cool. 3. Fill the large bowl about halfway with ice. Stir in salt. 4. Nestle the smaller bowl in the ice. Try to get almost completely buried in the ice. Fill the smaller bowl about halfway with your ice cream mix. 5. Use the hand mixer to beat the mix for 10 minutes. You may want to half cover the bowl with a towel, to help prevent spattering. The mix should get very cold to the touch, although it will probably not start transforming into actual ice cream. (Note: If you don't have a hand mixer, then you can use a whisk, but you will need to whisk for at least 15 minutes. Great upper arm workout!) 6. After you 10 minutes, cover with a towel and place the entire set of nested bowls — large and small — in the freezer. Freeze for 45 minutes. 7. Remove the bowls from the freezer. Draw a spoon across the top of the ice cream mix. It's should look like loose pudding, especially on top. 8. Mix again with the hand mixer for 5 minutes. At this point the mixture should be the texture of soft-serve ice cream. 9. Remove the small bowl from the large bowl, and cover the top with plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for an additional two hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
