On the evening ofJune 6, 1982, euphoria swept both the audience and the presenters at the 36th Antoinette Perry (Tony) Awards as Dreamgirls (1981), the latest in a suing ofsuccessful black musicals, earned the major awards for performers in a musical. This dramatization ofthe life of the Dreamgirls, a Supremes-like singing group, became both the critical and the box office hit of the season. Frank Rich of the New iOrk Times, who had issued few raves during his tenure, declared that the first act finale (Tony Award-winner 's performance of"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going") made "Broadway history." A follow-up review almost a year later revealed that his enthusiasm was undiminished. He praised the show for its daring, which he found was preferable even to Charles Fuller's Pulitzer Prize-winning A Soldiers Play (1981). The most resoundingly successful black musical in several seasons, it seemed to herald new life for the genre as again the black musical had begun to rework the Broadway musical in its own image. Nonetheless, while black may once again suffer hard times on Broadway, it may be argued that these shows may have changed the face ofAmerican musical theatre as a whole. Black musical theatre, initially a separate and unequal stepchild ofAmerican musical theatre, has slowly been integrated into the musical comedy mainstream as it helped to Americanize and modernize the structure, music, and dance of musical theatre between 1898 and the 1920s and ultimately in the 1960s and 1970s bring important political issues to an art form that had hitherto been dismissed as "escapist." While the socially conscious black musical that existed in the 1970s may have disappeared, the potential for new black contributions to the world of musical comedy remains strong. Despite long droughts in the past, black artists have often returned to this cultural form and in the process changed both the shape and direction ofthe black musical and American musical theatre as well.

As the last of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, Macbeth reveals a world ofbloody deeds. Darkness and supernatural forces loom over a hero's triumphant return from war. Witches conspire to wreak vengeance against the unsuspecting Macbeth.

The Department ofTheatre seeks your assistance in the School of Visual and Performing Arts Campaign for the Arts. Our missi.on is four-fold: to offer the academic degree programs most in demand by area citizens; to provide the northeastern Indiana region with exceptionally high-quality theatrical performances by students, faculty, and community members; to offer to the community various theatrical services, such as student matinees and theatre training through the Community Arts Academy; to provide a continuum of outreach activities to the greater northeastern Indiana community.

Our vision is to be widely recognized as the major theatre resource center for the Greater Fort Wayne and northeastern Indiana communities. To meet this challenge, we need your help!

IPFW is a state-assisted-not state-supporte~university. Furthermore, we are allocated only about one-half of the state dollars that the main campuses receive per student. This in turn directly impacts the theatre department with severe budgetary constraints. Your dollars are essential to help us move forward with our commitments to northeastern Indiana.

Should you be interested in helping to financially support us in our mission, please contact Larry L Life, chair and artistic director of the Department ofTheatre, at 260-481-6551. Your contribution will enable us in our mission to keep our academic programs current, continue diversity in theatre programming, and maintain our commitment to northeastern Indiana through our service and outreach activities.

Please become a member ofour Campaign for the Arts by choosing one of the giving categories described on the next page. And remember, your gift is tax deductible. CHAMPIONS OF THE ARTS Theatre Donors 2001-02 Season

You remember the plot. You love the characters. You now "the song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time which starred Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. 1920's Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days ofsound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.
