Article Deconstructing the Law Library: The Wisdom of Meredith Willson Robert C. Berringt "He left River City the library building, But he left all the books to her!"' The topic of this symposium is "Law, Information and Freedom of Expression." This Article will examine the first two of these topics but will only touch upon the third in the sense that I will speak without fear. Given the fact that the addition of the one millionth volume to the collection of the University of Minnesota Law Library is the catalyst for this proceeding, an examination of the soul of the law library is appropriate. The law library is a mom and apple pie type of institution. Mom and apple pie institutions are those that are much hon- ored and praised but largely taken for granted. As a testament to this status, libraries often are lauded but are seldom studied.

  • Lyrics “Ya Got Trouble” from the Music
    “Ya Got Trouble” from The Music Man Context (from Wikipedia): In July 1912, a traveling salesman, "Professor" Harold Hill (Robert Preston), arrives in the fictional location of River City, Iowa, intrigued by the challenge of swindling the famously stubborn natives of Iowa ("Iowa Stubborn"). Masquerading as a traveling band instructor, Professor Hill plans to con the citizens of River City into paying him to create a boys' marching band, including instruments, uniforms, and music instruction. Once he has collected the money and the instruments and uniforms have arrived, he will hop the next train out of town, leaving them without their money or a band. With help from his associate Marcellus Washburn (Buddy Hackett), who is now living in River City and is the only one who knows Hill's real name, "Gregory," Professor Hill incites mass concern among the parents of River City that their young boys are being seduced into a world of sin and vice by the new pool table in town ("Ya Got Trouble"). He convinces them that a boys' marching band is the only way to keep the boys of the town pure and out of trouble, and begins collecting their money ("76 Trombones"). Lyrics Harold: Well, ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say, trouble right here in River City. Why sure I'm a billiard player, Certainly mighty proud I say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend With a cue in my hand are golden. Help you cultivate horse sense And a cool head and a keen eye.

  • Winter 2019 Fresnel
    The Fresnel The newsletter of The Black Swamp Players, Inc. Bowling Green, OH Winter 2019 From the President... Dear Theater Lovers, Welcome to 2019 and the continuation of our 51st season! Clue: The Musical, our collaboration with FUMC and their dinner theater team, was a smashing success. It was such fun to see so many shows so well attended and to see such talented new faces in the cast. Thanks to Melissa Shaffer, Deb Shaffer, and Karen Long who jointly headed our production team. It warmed the heart of this grizzled Black Swamp veteran to see so many faces in our audience all at the same time. I’m guessing you felt the same way. I feel certain that The Music Man will exceed even Clue’s lofty attendance numbers. Speaking for the board, we know that we have a better product than our attendance rates would suggest. The attendance has been a concern for a number of years. We feel the best solution is finding a permanent home for our theater. We continue to look for and pursue ways for that to happen. In the meantime, I thought it worth appealing to you, our membership, and anyone else who happens to read this issue of The Fresnel for help. As I see it, the future of BSP depends on growing our audience. There are lots of ways to do that. Better marketing, more familiar shows, more musicals, larger casts are all approaches we are aware of and are to varying degrees working towards. Another way is for the people who already come to see Black Swamp productions (Yes, that would be you.

    Civil War Study Guide.qxd 9/13/01 10:31 AM Page 3 MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL is one of the world’s major dramatic licensing agencies, specializing in Broadway, Off-Broadway and West End musicals. Since its founding in 1952, MTI has been responsible for supplying scripts and musical materials to theatres worldwide and for protecting the rights and legacy of the authors whom it represents. It has been a driving force in cultivating new work and in extending the production life of some of the classics: Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, Fiddler On The Roof, Les Misérables, Annie, Of Thee I Sing, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Damn Yankees, The Music Man, Evita, and the complete musical theatre works of composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, among others. Apart from the major Broadway and Off- Broadway shows, MTI is proud to represent youth shows, revues and musicals which began life in regional theatres and have since become worthy additions to the musical theatre canon. MTI shows have been performed by 30,000 amateur and professional theatrical organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in over 60 countries around the world. Whether it’s at a high school in Kansas, by an all-female troupe in Japan or the first production of West Side Story ever staged in Estonia, productions of MTI musicals involve over 10 million people each year. Although we value all our clients, the twelve thousand high schools who perform our shows are of particular importance, for it is at these schools that music and drama educators work to keep theatre alive in their community.
