MARCH 6, 7,8 2020 music by Direction by DARNELL JOHN KANDER PATRICK lyrics by MORRIS Musical FRED EBB Direction by MAYUMI book by JOE GRIFFIE MASTEROFF Choreography by Based on the MORGAN play by John CHRISTINA Van Druten THOMAS and stories by Christopher Isherwood WELCOME Welcome to the middle production of our Senior Company’s Fifth Anniversary Season. It is not new for OVATIONS to bring shows to our young people that relate to what is actually going on in their lives. Cabaret is a musical that not only gives us a glimpse at the past but as a cautionary tale of what can happen when we allow fear and hatred to lead the masses. Cabaret once again allows OVATIONS students to be able to explore mature material in a safe space allowing them to have very open and frank conversations that for young people are often skirted around or all together ignored. During our process we’ve been able to discuss and explore some of the more mature and complicated themes found in the material; 1920’s Berlin and its sexual revolution, fear and hate mongering, propaganda and it’s conse- quenes, the rise of the Nazi party and much more. When we looked back at these historical events in which Cabaret is based upon, the students felt that a lot of the bad stuff that happened in the show leading up to the Holocuast were similar to things happen- ing in the world today in 2020; in the US and elsewhere in the world. The students “ The world is a collectively decided that this was not just dangerous place to a time capsule but instead a reminder and warning should we allow similar things to live; not because of happen again! It is their hope, and mine, that our audiences will listen to this story the people who are and not fall silent when witnessing the evil, but because of same injustices to those around us. When students are being threatened and the people who don’t punished for speaking out for what is right, do anything about it.” OVATIONS takes seriously the responsibility to provide a safe place where young people Albert Einstein can hone their voice and actually be heard. It is a strange reality we live in that our soci- ety thinks of young people as children until the age of 18 when magically they are adults. This show, especially in the current polarizing society, continually challenges me about how I treat and communicate with young people. Our hope for this production is that our com- munity leaves understanding that young people are hungry for knowledge- thirsty to be a part of our society- and desperate to stand up for inequality. Unlike the characters in the script, our students are living in a time and a society where the access to knowledge and availability to have open conversations about tough subjects is available and happening. Students are able to peacefully protest and make heard their thoughts and feelings on in- justices they see happening around them. Our kids are empowered to speak out, question and seek understanding and put into action their efforts to leave this earth a little better than they found it. I am thankful to know that I have students who are truly thinking about the future and how their story will affect others for many years to come. Make sure to check out our website at www.OVATIONStheatre.com for information our upcoming auditions for Ragtime and our Summer Teen intensive production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and much more. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. - Darnell Patrick Morris, Founder & Producing Artistic Director Student Production Note At our time at OVATIONS, we as students and actors are expected to look closely at our productions and find the underlying themes behind our songs, dances, and lines. Although our production of Cabaret has it’s fair share of glitz and glamour, we found that these very assets to our show are the tip of the iceberg to this time period and behind the excitement displays dark and haunting topics that forces the audience to look within themselves. Taking place in 1930’s Berlin, the audience finds themselves in the Kit Kat Club, an exciting and seductive club. Weaving through the Club’s number of performances, a series of stories displays the truth behind the fun numbers and how it is so easy to be distracted when those just like us are in need. As the numbers progressively give the audience more and more hints about the dark truth of 1930’s Europe, the audience soon realizes minority communities just like them includ- ing jewish, LGBT, and impoverished communities are drastically controlled and changed by the power of intolerance. In the rehearsal process, we compared and contrasted a series of similar events between then and now and realized though our story takes place decades ago, we as teenagers can’t live complacently in the Kit Kat Club. When we see those in need around us, it is stronger to stand up for human justice, rather than living in fear of being different. In our rehearsal process, we are challenged to speak our mind on these topics within the show because at OVATIONS, it truly is a collaborative process between our artistic staff and us actors. Though our numbers require high energy and fun character choic- es, we worked to understand why and how each number moves the story along. In the infamous and shocking number, “If you could see her through my eyes,” the audience watches a hilarious number about the Emcee and his proclaimed love for all things, a monkey. Throughout the number, the Emcee attempts to convince the audience the monkey is worthy of his love because she performs a series of valuable actions including reading music and refraining from drinking. Once the audience least expects it, the Em- cee compares the monkey to a jewish woman and the audience realizes they have been laughing at the dehumanization of an entire demographic. It’s this number, and so many just like it, that throws the audience for a loop and makes them question how easily they can be distracted from the jarring truth of Berlin. At OVATIONS, we strive to connect our art to current events and hope the audience will take away the message that being a bystander is just as cruel as being a perpetrator. When watching Cabaret, the audience came to the realization that they aren’t complete- ly at fault for the horrific events of the second world war, but contributed to it’s cultural tolerance because they were overpowered by a much greater force, fear. We hope when leaving the theatre, the audience knows they have a voice and can truly make a differ- ence as long as they speak up for what it is right, even when they feel the whole world is doubting them in the process. -Jordan Kelberg Cast List Double Cast Breakdown & Performance Schedule RED CAST BLUE CAST EMCEE Jack Rosenberg Ian Coursey SALLY BOWLES Raina Weinberg Mia Ehrlich CLIFF BRADSHAW PG Ruff Alexander Finch FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER Eva Salins Danielle Carter HERR SCHULTZ Sam Salem Ari Hovis-Afflerbach ERNST LUDWIG Austin Rose Danny Seligman TWO LADIES PERFORMERS Max Miller & Mikayla Reich Angelo Harrington & Jordan Kelberg RED CAST: Friday, March 6 at 7:30 and Saturday, March 7 at 2:00pm BLUE CAST: Saturday, March 7 at 7:30pm and Sunday, March 8 at 1:00pm FRIDAY 3/6 SATURDAY 3/7 SATURDAY 3/7 SUNDAY 3/8 @2pm @7:30pm FRAULEIN KOST* Lilly McKinnon Eliana Posin Starr Ruben Kendyl Morrison CHILD SOPRANO SOLOIST Ronan Mailhot Sadie Schulman Liam Darnell Cece Tello The Following Roles Perform at All Four Performance MAX ......................................................................................................................................................................Alex Levy SAILOR 2 ...........................................................................................................................................................Miles Carr GORILLA ............................................................................................................................................................Grace Corbett RUDY............................................................................................................................................Alex Levy THE KIT KAT GIRLS ROSIE...................................................................................................................................................................Jordan Kelberg LULU .....................................................................................................................................................................Zoe Ferguson FRENCHIE ........................................................................................................................................................Isabela McDonald TEXAS ..................................................................................................................................................................River Isleib FRIZTZIE ............................................................................................................................................................Kassidy Kepner HELGA .................................................................................................................................................................Mikayla Reich THE KIT KAT BOYS BOBBY ................................................................................................................................................................Angelo Harrington VICTOR ..............................................................................................................................................................

On making her cabaret debut: “The idea of putting together an original cabaret act where you’re standing on stage for ninety minutes straight has always sounded daunting to me,” Malone said. “I’ve had the idea for this particular cabaret format for a few years. I felt the time was right to challenge myself, and I couldn’t be more proud to debut this cabaret on the very stage that offered me my first musical theatre experience as a nine-year-old in the Moonlight’s very first musical Oliver! directed by Kathy Brombacher.” Malone can relate to the fact that the leading ladies she has chosen to celebrate are all attached to iconic comedic roles. “I learned at a very young age that getting laughs is golden,” she said.

    Against Expression?: Avant-Garde Aesthetics in Satie's" Parade"

    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

    s A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET AND PLUME EDITIONS OF THE SCREENPLAY LORRAINE HANSBERRY’S RAISIN IN THE SUN By DIANA MITCHELL, Ph.D SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun 2 INTRODUCTION The certainty that the ideals of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” can become reality for anyone willing to work for them is what we call the American dream. For many, the dream does come true. For many it does not. Lorraine Hansberry knew about disappointment, false hope, and despair. For many of her African-American ancestors who had come north for a better life only to find exploitation and frustration, the dream had become a nightmare. In contemporary terms, she chronicles their nightmare in A Raisin in the Sun, an epic story of the Younger family struggling to realize the dream by escaping ghetto life. Hansberry’s screenplay not only tells the story of the Youngers but reveals the plight of all who have failed dreams. Her cosmic vision gives Raisin its power. For high school juniors who often study U.S. history concurrently with American literature, this previously unpublished version of the screenplay allows students to read an engrossing American play, while they experience a culture that either mirrors their own lives or provides a window into a world of people who are more similar to them than they are different from them.

Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront.

    That World of Somewhere In Between: The History of Cabaret and the Cabaret Songs of Richard Pearson Thomas, Volume I D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebecca Mullins Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Scott McCoy, advisor Dr. Graeme Boone Professor Loretta Robinson Copyright by Rebecca Mullins 2013 Abstract Cabaret songs have become a delightful and popular addition to the art song recital, yet there is no concise definition in the lexicon of classical music to explain precisely what cabaret songs are; indeed, they exist, as composer Richard Pearson Thomas says, “in that world that’s somewhere in between” other genres. So what exactly makes a cabaret song a cabaret song? This document will explore the topic first by tracing historical antecedents to and the evolution of artistic cabaret from its inception in Paris at the end of the 19th century, subsequent flourish throughout Europe, and progression into the United States. This document then aims to provide a stylistic analysis to the first volume of the cabaret songs of American composer Richard Pearson Thomas. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to the person who has been most greatly impacted by its writing, however unknowingly—my son Jack. I hope you grow up to be as proud of your mom as she is of you, and remember that the things in life most worth having are the things for which we must work the hardest.
