    The Call Is Places Welcome from Artistic Director Joseph Haj 2016–2017 SEASON Dear Friends, Sense and Sensibility To make a life in the theater is a bold choice, as the path to the stage is September 10 – October 29, 2016 hardly a direct one. It comes with insecurity, both financial and personal, Wurtele Thrust Stage instability and public critique. How many of us actors and artists, as teenagers, had that brave conversation with our parents when we swore The Parchman Hour allegiance to a dream in the footlights and they did all they could to dissuade October 1 – November 6, 2016 us? Looking back, it’s hard to fault them. Guaranteed work this is not. McGuire Proscenium Stage What theater is though, is a calling – to hone a craft, to entertain, to find A Christmas Carol meaning in the act of storytelling. And as depicted in George S. Kaufman November 16 – December 30, 2016 and Edna Ferber’s The Royal Family, theater is the connective tissue Wurtele Thrust Stage between generations. Sure, there are moments in the play when Kaufman and Ferber seem to be satirizing the Cavendish family of thespians – lest any The Lion in Winter actor ever take him or herself too seriously. But there are also extraordinarily November 19 – December 31, 2016 poignant moments when relationships must be considered and hard McGuire Proscenium Stage decisions made by the Cavendish women, all of whom find themselves at a crossroads between their vocation and a The Royal Family decidedly different way of life. January 28 – March 19, 2017 McGuire Proscenium Stage There’s broad comedy, and there’s also beautiful nuance to be found in this nearly century-old King Lear story in terms of what’s uplifting and what can February 11 – April 2, 2017 be heartbreaking about a theatrical pursuit.

  • Chapter 6: Professional Foundations
    135 Chapter 6: Professional Foundations Theory Becomes Practice I moved to New York and started a new life in a very strange city. Chappell Music secured an apartment for me in the London Terrace complex in Chelsea near the Hudson River. It was a monumental architectural structure with an indoor swimming pool, underground garage, and an observation deck on the roof overlooking the river. All of my energy was focused on getting Elizabeth I (Foster & Spangler, 1972) written and up and running off-Broadway by spring. When I was not working on the show, I went to theatre events and performances and tried to network with recent graduates of CMU seeking their fame and fortune in New York City. Elizabeth I (Foster & Spangler, 1972) was scheduled to open off-Broadway at the Sheridan Square Theatre the end of March. However, the production already running in that venue was extended, and suddenly this off-Broadway theatre for which our production was designed was not available. The backers came to a rehearsal and decided the show was so promising that we would take it directly to Broadway where the Lyceum Theatre was available. We opened for previews on March 28, 1972, and the pressure was on. The set and staging as designed for the thrust (three quarter in the round) stage at the intimate Sheridan Square was no longer feasible. How were we to fit that production into a large proscenium situation? We rehearsed long and hard to bring back the intimacy lost in the transfer. I was not responding well to the stress.

What is the source of inspiration? How does one prepare for the career? Anne Livet's conversations with modern- dance choreographers are recorded in Contemporary Dance (Abbeville, 1978), and interviews with well-known ballet choreographers have appeared in journals and newspapers, but Grody and Lister have focused on the overlooked venues of Broadway, film, and television. With a string of Broadway dance credits themselves, the authors are on familiar ground. Over a period of two decades they have interviewed 17 choreographers, including Hermes Pan, Ernest Flatt, Joe Layton, Michael Bennett, and Tommy Tune. Most have little formal music training, work best with time limitations, and made a transition from dancer to choreography as opportunity presented itself. But as each responded to a similar set of questions set forth by the authors, the choreographers reveal individual approaches to their work.

  • Nashville Community Theatre: from the Little Theatre Guild
    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.
