The booking URL remains unchanged and existing ticket holders have been advised about the alternative date and booking arrangements.

This iconic rock musical centres on the lives of a group of impoverished young artists, struggling to survive and get their voices heard in Manhattan's East Village in the shadow of the AIDS crisis at the end of the millennium. Amidst their struggles with addiction, loss, political unrest and poverty, the group find their strength in the community they’ve built. Taking you through a whirlwind of emotions, RENT will leave you wanting to seize no day but today. Inspired by Puccini's La Bohème, RENT features powerful and unforgettable songs including Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, and La Vie Bohème. This award-winning musical is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet! 4th - 7th March 7.30pm Show, 2.30pm Saturday Matinee Bernard Sunley Lecture Theatre, St Catherine’s College, Oxford www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-catz-drama-society * Please see item 1.4 attachment for further information: https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/x/MO9wH3 1.5 OCCT Discussion Group Monday, February 24, 2020 - 12:45 to 14:00Seminar Room 10, St Anne's College Emily Di Dodo will be the convenor of a session on ‘A 15th-Century Castilian Translation of Boccaccio’s Decameron’ In 1496 the first “complete” translation of the Decameron was printed in Castilian. Far from being faithful to the original text, the anonymous translator made significant changes to the structure of the text and even the content of the individual novelle. This begs the following questions: how was the Decameron read in the 15th century? Which novelle were favoured, and why? How important is the original structure to the reader’s understanding of the text? Everyone is welcome, and sandwich lunch is provided! No need to prepare or to know Castilian. See http://www.occt.ox.ac.uk/discussion-group for more details. OCCT is a Divisional research programme supported by TORCH and St Anne's College. Our organising committee includes Prof Matthew Reynolds (Chair), Dr Eleni Philippou (Postdoctoral Researcher and Co- ordinator), Prof Mohamed-Salah Omri, Prof Ben Morgan, Prof Adriana X.

  • The Creation and Development of Rent by Jonathan Larson
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON Elizabeth Titrington, Master of Arts, 2007 Directed By: Professor Richard King Chair, Department of Musicology Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success , the hit musical Rent by Jonathan Larson has received scant attention in academic literature. The story of Rent has been told and retold in the popular media, but a look at Larson’s own drafts, notes, and other personal wri tings adds another important and largely missing voice – Larson’s own. In this study, I use the Jonathan Larson Collection, donated to the Library of Congress in 2004 , to examine this seminal work and composer by tracing Rent ’s development and documenting L arson’s creative process. My analysis of material from the Larson Collection and the interviews of others involved in Rent ’s development reveal s the story of how this unconventional rock musical made it to the stage, highlighting the importance of visio n, but also of revision and collaboration. “OVER THE MOON”: THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RENT BY JONATHAN LARSON By Elizabeth Corbin Titrington Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryl and, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2007 Advisory Committee: Professor Richard King , Chair Professor Jonathan Dueck Professor Robert Provine © Copyright by Elizabeth Titrington 2007 Preface Although I cannot claim the status of Rent head – I do not know every word to “La Vie Bohème” by heart or have a website dedicated to the show – I admit to approach ing this project as a fan as well as scho lar.

I cried though the first 5 numbers and three more times throughout the course of the show. What you put together is incredible. It reminded me of the magic of Broadway WINTER 2012 and how lucky we all are to be a part of this. More importantly what it can do for these children, how it can bring them out of their shells.

  • Lived Experiences of “Beautiful” Women: a Postmodern Feminist Exploration of Beauty Discourse and Identity
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michelle Marie for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design and Human Environment presented on June 9, 2016. Title: Lived Experiences of “Beautiful” Women: A Postmodern Feminist Exploration of Beauty Discourse and Identity Abstract Approved: Brigitte G. Cluver While a great deal is known about the benefits of being culturally identified as attractive, very little is known about the lived experiences of beautiful women. In this study, 21 adult women who are currently employed as models or represented by modeling agencies participated in open-ended interviews, and their responses were analyzed using a Foucauldian and postmodern feminist theoretical framework. Findings generally support and complicate the conclusions of extant research: Beautiful women are shown to have a complex definition of beauty, an awareness of being understood by society as beautiful, positive and negative experiences that are associated with being beautiful, feelings of confidence, and opportunities for creativity within modeling work. Interpretation of findings via a Foucauldian and postmodern feminist framework reveals ways in which power, knowledge, and subjectivation combine in participants’ lived experiences and problematizes beauty discourse and the identities of “beautiful” women subjects. Power deploys discourses of “beauty” and “modeling” and employs multiple strategies that conceal and simultaneously reinforce their existence. Knowledge is present in participants’ lives in several ways, and is applied by participants in service of power and to construct their identities as “beautiful” subjects. Subjectivation, or participants’ development of a relationship to themselves, occurs physically via beauty practices and mentally via the choices they make in how they view themselves and represent themselves to others.

  • Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon
    89 Barrie Gelles Graduate Center, City University of New York, US Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon The most recent, successful intersection of media culture and the Broadway musical is the run-away hit Glee. Although Glee features other music genres as often as it does songs from the musical theatre canon, the use of the latter genre offers a particularly interesting opportunity for analysis as it blends two forms of popular culture: the Broadway musical and a hit television show. Applying the concept of “ghosting,” as defined in Marvin Carlson’s The Haunted Stage, I propose that the use of the musical theatre canon in Glee can sometimes offer a more complex reading of a given plot point and/or of character development. This inquiry will consider where the ghosting of the original Broadway musical enhances plot and character within Glee, and where it fails to do so. What is there to gain from doubled layers of implications when these songs are performed? What is risked by ignoring the “ghosts” of musicals past? Finally, and tangentially related, how is Glee reframing the consumption of musical theatre? Barrie Gelles is a fellowship student in the PhD Program in Theatre at The Graduate Center at CUNY. She completed her Masters, in Theatre, at Hunter College and has a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. In addition to Barrie’s scholarly pursuits, she directs theatre throughout New York City. Alright guys, we’re doing a new number for sectionals. I know that pop songs have sort of been our signature pieces, but I did a little research on past winners and it turns out that judges like songs that are more accessible, stuff they know, standards, Broadway.

  • Rent Program
    Director’s Notes RENT! I have nothing stellar to say, really, because this show speaks for itself. I have to thank Mike Trapp for his willingness to back this show. Not many companies will take on a contemporary show such as this, due to adult themes, etc., but in looking at how to approach our season with the closing of Rocky Horror, I felt this would be a wonderful show on which to start. This cast is really amazing and has been from the very first rehearsal even. It’s been a great experience and such a fun “family” that I am both thrilled to open, yet sad to close this show. Our band is going to rock the house as well, so I also thank them for their time and talent. Thank you cast and crew from the bottom of my heart. I love you all. And thank you, Mike. Sit back…in our new seats…and enjoy RENT! No day but today… Tracy Glover, Director Production Staff Cast of Characters Tracy Ann Glover ..... Director Josh Glover .....
