  • Jerry Springer Keynote Speaker Announcement
    ADVANTAGE’S 2018 CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKER IS… JERRY SPRINGER London, January 2018 – Advantage Travel Partnership, the UK’s largest independent travel agent consortium, unveils Jerry Springer as the keynote speaker for the 2018 conference, being held in Miami, between 10 and 13 May 2018. Throughout an illustrious career, Jerry Springer has become a cultural and civic icon. Springer’s notoriety is due in large to the hosting of his eponymous show, The Jerry Springer Show, for 27 seasons. Springer’s career also includes time as a lawyer, the mayor of Cincinnati, an award-winning newscaster, author, Broadway actor, executive producer, ballroom dancer, and much more. “We are utterly thrilled that Jerry Springer will be our keynote speaker at our 2018 conference in Miami. Our conference theme focuses on building a story and how to effectively communicate this narrative with audiences, and Jerry’s career and experience is a perfect example of how best to achieve this. His exuberant personality adds an exciting dimension to the conference and will give our members a new perspective;” commented Julia Lo Bue-Said, Managing Director, Advantage Travel Partnership. Born in London, Springer’s family immigrated to New York when he was five years old. It was during a dinner meeting with New York Senator, Robert Kennedy, in 1968 that changed Springer’s life. He signed on with the Kennedy campaign and shortly thereafter felt the horror of Kennedy’s assassination along with the rest of the world. It was this catalyst that sprung Springer into the political world, 1 spearheading the movement in Ohio to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 which led to the ratification of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution that lowered the voting age for all Americans.

  • Analyse the Extent to Which Controversial Theatre Can Be Accommodated on a West End Stage
    Analyse the Extent to Which Controversial Theatre can be Accommodated on a West End Stage. Olivia Rook Jane Milling asserts that London’s West End (WE) is familiar to tourist audiences for its ‘remarkably stable’ repertoire, consisting largely of ‘literary musical adaptations’, ‘musical adaptations of films’ and ‘compilation musicals of popular musical trends’.1 This suggests that the WE is almost entirely motivated by the commercial successes of the megamusical. Audiences have a ‘horizon of expectations’ when they visit a WE theatre, as they associate the area with a particular cultural experience.2 New work is measured against the audience’s expectations and ‘The closer it correlates with this horizon, the more likely it is to be low, pulp, or ‘culinary’ art’.3 This disparaging perspective is shared by many in the industry; indeed, Peter Brook argues that during the mid-twentieth century, shows had become ‘weak, watery, repetitive, drab and silly’.4 However, there have been challenges to these long-running musical productions, leading to the development of more innovative theatre. This essay will focus on the work of the Royal Court (RC), in particular, Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, and the journey of Jerry Springer, The Opera from scratch theatre to the WE. Citing Frank Parkin’s model of ‘social democracies’, it will be explored how far and in what ways these examples of controversial theatre abide by the ‘dominant system’ established in the WE: of palatable, long-running musicals.5 By focusing on modes of controversy, the idea of celebrity, processes of production and critical response, this essay will determine whether Springer and Jerusalem abide by a ‘subordinate system’, and thus comprehend and comply with the dominant, or whether they are being ‘radical’ and oppose any sense of a normative status, deviating too far from audiences’ ‘horizon of expectations’.

  • Jerry Springer Talks About His First Job and Has Advice for Today's Teens
    Jerry Springer talks about his first job and has advice for today’s teens June 30, 2014 12:02 AM MST Jerry Springer In an exclusive interview with Renée Ward, popular TV talk show host, Jerry Springer shares with me what he did, what he learned, and offers advice for today’s teens seeking their first job. This is the first in a series of articles about the “first paying jobs” of successful people and their advice for today’s teens. Born in London in 1944, after his family fled the Holocaust, Springer immigrated at age 5 to New York City with his family. For Springer and his family, America represented a place where people could live without persecution. No doubt Springer’s upbringing and first job as a teen set the tone for his future success. Ward: What was your first paying job and how old were you? Springer: You’re asking about a long time ago like back in the 1950’s. I delivered newspapers, the Long Island Press on my bicycle. I had to get up at a ridiculously early hour, go to the printing press and load up my bike basket and off I went. It was the first job where I actually got paid. I was so excited about it but it was never fun when the alarm went off at about 4 o’clock in the morning before I had to go to school. I must have been about 13 or 14 years old. Yep, that’s what I did. Ward: How did you learn about this job? Springer: Through a friend.
