Prelude Good Morning, Good Day I have always loved this joyful, deeply funny, and charming jewel box of Sounds While Selling a romantic comedy…. It’s like a confection with its witty, smart dialogue, lyrics that are truly an extension of the scenes, and heartwarming Thank You, Madam honesty that is so deliciously genuine that you can’t help but be swept up Days Gone By by its rapturous and celebratory unfolding. No More Candy Three Letters Tonight at Eight I Don’t Know His Name Based on the 1937 play “Parfumerie” by Hungarian playwright Miklós László, a 1940 film called The Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Perspective Stewart and Margaret Sullivan followed. In 1963, the musical She Loves Goodbye George Me premiered at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre directed by Harold Prince Will He Like Me? and choreographed by Carol Haney. Following a 1964 production at Ilona the West End, flash forward to 1998 and the film You’ve Got Mail was I Resolve released starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Classic love stories are A Romantic Atmosphere timeless and always a welcome haven for the mind and spirit especially Mr. Novack, Will You Please? during times where innocence and romance are too quickly becoming Dear Friend obsolete.

  • “A Fascinating Instrumental Album” As the First Musical of 1964-65 Broadway Season, “Fiddler on the Roof” Has Set a High Standard for Later Shows to Follow
    “A Fascinating Instrumental Album” As the first musical of 1964-65 Broadway season, “Fiddler On the Roof” has set a high standard for later shows to follow. It is set in the small village of Anatevka, in Tsarist Russia, during the early days of this century. The action depicts the struggles of Tevye, the dairyman, to find suitable husbands for the three eldest of his five daughters. Despite his plans, each daughter, one by one, marries for love, thereby breaking down the age-old pattern of tradition in which the father selects the marriage partner. In the leading role of Tevye, the superb comedian and actor Zero Mostel finds one of his most rewarding roles. Despite the dramatic impact of the plot, “Fiddler on the Roof” is a heart-warming story, told with lighthearted humor, and staged with brilliantly exciting dances by Jerome Robbins. Its score is by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, who gave the theater the Pulitzer Prize winning “Fiorello!,” “The Body Beautiful,” “Tenderloin” and, most recently “She Loves Me”. Jerry Bock’s music has a tender, chanting quality and an earthy, ethnic appeal that one seldom hears on Broadway. In this fascinating instrumental album, the over-all feeling of the music is captured. Claus Ogerman’s inventive arrangements reveal the stately dignity of the Sabbath Prayer performed with a hazy array of romantic strings. He incorporates a slight Latin feel into If I Were a Woman, played as a slow samba, and To Life, which he has chosen to do as a Latin dance, the baion, in-- paradoxically--Oriental style.

  • 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.

    Shaping the American Audience in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! Kim, Hye won Contents Ⅰ. Introduction Ⅱ. Oklahoma!: An Artistic Approach with a Business Mind Ⅲ. Oklahoma!’s Tryouts in New Haven and Boston Ⅳ. Oklahoma! on Broadway Ⅴ. Shaping The American Audience Ⅵ. The Embodiment of Patriotic Strategy VII. Conclusion Ⅰ. Introduction American musical theatre is considered to be a major American contribution to world theatre. From Oscar G. Brockett to Stacy E. Wolf, most theatre historians agree that musical theatre has played a significant role in the history of American theatre. Nonetheless, it had been dismissed in the narrative of American theatre history, and only recently has it been mentioned in theatre history books. When historians and scholars write about the important moments in musical theatre, it is inevitable to mention the musicals of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to talk about the elements and the new forms they offered; Oklahoma! has been taken 4 영미연구 제34집 up as a scholarly subject and used as a category in the periodization of American musical theatre―known as the golden age (1943-1968)1) and the beginning of the “integrated” musical.2) Recent historians have re-shifted conversations about musical theatre scholarship and representation by interrogating the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein from a different lens. However, not much is known about how the duo shaped the American audience. In what follows, this study demonstrates how Rodgers and Hammerstein shaped the American audience in Oklahoma! through calculated media management and consciously planned deployment of patriotic strategy embedded within the show in respond to the cultural and historical context of the 1930s and early 1940s, and ultimately, my research explores how the collaborators are constructed as an all-American brand.

(1943) and Carousel (1945). art theatre Beyond these more familiar innovations, The Garrick Gaieties invites closer parody scrutiny for the series’ complex relationship with the Little Theatre and art theatre intertextuality movements of the 1920s, as represented by the Theatre Guild. Through cultural parody satirizing both the Theatre Guild and Broadway commercialism, the creators of The Garrick Gaieties of 1925, 1926 and 1930 not only used the revue form to destabilize cultural hierarchies and address tensions concerning art and commerce, but to bridge the distinct traditions of the Broadway musical and art theatre during the culturally dynamic years of the 1920s. The Garrick Gaieties revues of the mid-1920s are legendary for launching the Broadway careers of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Bringing Rodgers and Hart ‘their first major recognition’ as a songwriting partnership (Hischak 2007: 92), these witty revues produced the team’s first nationally popular hits: ,- SMT_7.1_Cantu_45-60.indd 45 5/11/13 9:23:51 PM EYqY;Yflm the urban and bucolic odes ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Mountain Greenery’, respec- tively.

Master of Science (Drama) , May, 1971, ,280 pp., bibliography, 34 titles. The problem with which this study is concerned is that of critically analyzing and producing the musical comedy The Apple Tree. The study attempts to adapt some of the major unifying elements of this production and, in addition, unite the show through the use of color. The study also attempts to update the production through an extension of symbolism based on the style of Peter Max; to produce a major musical comedy in a stylized and sym- bolic style, and to show how a stylized and symbolic method of production can be used to achieve simplicity and unity within tha confines of a limited budget. The thesis is primarily divided into three basic parts; preplanning, production, and evaluation. Chapters I and II report the preplanning stage and were done before the pro- duction was presented. Chapters III and IV are a report of the production phase of tha thesis. Chapters V and VI are analytical in nature and were formulated after the production was staged. The thesis is organized into six chapters. The first chapter is introductory in nature; it presents the problem, the choice of play* the choice of style, and the importance of the study.
