  • THE-101--Lecture 15--23 Pages.Rtf
    THE 101 Lecture 15 1 Today I’m going to talk about theater organization and I’m going to begin with giving you some terms and some names and some other things which throughout the semester, especially in the interviews, you will find various people making references to these organizations or using these particular terms. And so it’s necessary, then, if you have an understanding of them in order to understand the references when they arise in the various interviews. One of the terms you’re going to be hearing — terms like professional, non-professional, equity production, non-equity, regional resident theater, Broadway theater, community theater, and all of these are terms that I’ll try to straighten up today and give you a little understanding and background for what is going on. And then toward the end of the hour we’ll go into how this organizational change that happened in the U.S. theater in the middle of the 20th century profoundly affected the way we see theater today and, most of all, the kind of theater that we see now. Let’s start with legal status and that is the theater is usually a legal entity in that it is selling a product or selling a service. And so therefore in selling that particular service and collecting money for it, then it needs some kind of a license. It needs a legal status. And there are today two kinds of status — legal status that you can apply for. You can be a for profit organization. Now, this is a term which is used for any kind of business which is in business or which is organized, or the individual in that particular business who owns or the investors who are part of that particular business, that they are there to make money.

  • Alley Theatre's Inaugural Season in the Newly Renovated Theatre
    FOR RELEASE: September 9, 2015 MEDIA CONTACTS: Lauren Pelletier, Public Relations Associate, [email protected], 713.315.3364 Marta Fredricks, DPWPR, [email protected], 713.224.9115 Anne-Marie Breedlove, DPWPR, [email protected], 713.224.9115 Alley Theatre’s Inaugural Season in the Newly Renovated Theatre Begins October 2, 2015 First major renovation to the building since opening in 1968 HOUSTON, TX – The Alley Theatre’s historic renovation of the Hubbard Theatre will open to the public on October 2, 2015 with One Man, Two Guvnors. The 2015-2016 season will continue with The Other Place, All The Way, The Night of the Iguana, Grounded, Travesties, The Nether and Born Yesterday. “The 2015-2016 season is a celebration of the Company,” said Artistic Director Gregory Boyd. “The new Hubbard Theatre expands what we can do and was driven not only by a desire to modernize the space but by artistic and company ideals. We are not just a renovated building, we are a reimagined organization.” Renovation on the Alley Theatre building began in July 2014 and continued through the summer of 2015. “The renovation allows us to be much more efficient and expand our programming to over 500 performances a year” said Managing Director Dean R. Gladden. “The combination of the extended stage and reducing the number of seats from 824 to 774 creates a whole new level of intimacy in the Hubbard for our patrons; one that we feel is unmatched in the city of Houston.” The first extensive renovation since the Theatre’s opening in 1968 includes major improvements to the Hubbard Theatre, backstage area, and public spaces.

    Theatre Port Houston - Theatre Auditions News and more! - Performing arts News and Film and Stage Auditions Nina Vance Category : Who's Who:In American Theatre Published by Thespus on 2004/6/20 Nina Vance, founder and artistic director of the Alley Theatre in Houston VANCE, NINA ELOISE WHITTINGTON (1914-1980). Nina Vance, founder and artistic director of the Alley Theatre in Houston, the only child of Calvin Perry and Minerva (DeWitt) Whittington, was born on October 22, 1914, in Yoakum, Texas. She was descended directly from Green DeWitt and Benjamin Beeson.qv She began her theater training at Texas Christian University and earned the B.A. in 1935. She continued postgraduate work in theater at the American Academy of Dramatic Art, Columbia University, and the University of Southern California. In 1939 Nina Whittington moved to Houston, where she taught drama and speech at Jefferson Davis High School and later at San Jacinto High School. She also taught private acting classes and by 1941 was acting herself with the Houston Little Theatre and the Houston Community Players, an amateur group headed by Margo (Margaret Virginia) Jones.qv She married an attorney, Milton Vance, but the childless marriage eventually ended in divorce. After Jones left Houston, Nina Vance was asked to teach adult acting classes for the Jewish Community Center, but instead she offered her services as a director of plays. She was raised a Presbyterian, but she stipulated that the participants in her Players Guild could be of any religious denomination. Vance directed over a dozen productions for the Players Guild between 1945 and 1947, and following the innovative lead of Margo Jones, her troupe performed in the round in such places as the Rice and Lamar hotels.

    Dr. Carolyn Farb, hc "The First Lady of Philanthropy in Texas" Houston's premier volunteer fundraiser and event creator, Dr. Carolyn Farb, hc exemplifies the essence of public service and philanthropy. She is a native Texan whose passion shines not only throughout the Lone Star State, but internationally. No one can equal her passion for embracing a cause, living it, breathing it, nurturing it and championing it until others become true believers as well. Dr. Farb's fundraising style, spirit and successes have set national standards with each succeeding project with which she is involved, and it is rare to find an individual who won't be receptive to her causes. One secret of her success is her total commitment and concentration, giving 200 percent of herself, her time and her considerable expertise. Her tireless devotion to charitable fundraising is embraced with each new project. From medical research, children's charities, and women's issues to the arts, education, and the environment, Carolyn's skill, talent and entrepreneurship as a volunteer fundraiser for hundreds of worthwhile nonprofit organizations has been fine-tuned to equal that of the best professional fundraisers in the world. Locally, Carolyn has raised funds for UNICEF, which has raised funds for children globally for twenty-one years. She has worked with the Texas Neurofibromatosis Foundation, Houston Ballet Foundation, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, established the first Challenger Center for Space Science Education at the Museum of Nature Science and chaired two telethons

But this boomtown, founded on the banks of Buffalo Bayou in 1836, has proven itself to be immensely important and often surprising.
