  • In Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: the Image
    Burlesquing “Otherness” 101 Burlesquing “Otherness” in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: The Image of the Indian in John Brougham’s Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs (1847) and Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage (1855). Zoe Detsi-Diamanti When John Brougham’s Indian burlesque, Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs, opened in Boston at Brougham’s Adelphi Theatre on November 29, 1847, it won the lasting reputation of an exceptional satiric force in the American theatre for its author, while, at the same time, signaled the end of the serious Indian dramas that were so popular during the 1820s and 1830s. Eight years later, in 1855, Brougham made a most spectacular comeback with another Indian burlesque, Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage, an “Original, Aboriginal, Erratic, Operatic, Semi-Civilized, and Demi-savage Extravaganza,” which was produced at Wallack’s Lyceum Theatre in New York City.1 Both plays have been invariably cited as successful parodies of Augustus Stone’s Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags (1829) and the stilted acting style of Edwin Forrest, and the Pocahontas plays of the first half of the nineteenth century. They are sig- nificant because they opened up new possibilities for the development of satiric comedy in America2 and substantially contributed to the transformation of the stage picture of the Indian from the romantic pattern of Arcadian innocence to a view far more satirical, even ridiculous. 0026-3079/2007/4803-101$2.50/0 American Studies, 48:3 (Fall 2007): 101-123 101 102 Zoe Detsi-Diamanti

  • Rooting out Historical Mythologies; William Dunlap's a Trip to Niagara and Its Sophisticated Nineteenth Century Audience
    Global Posts building CUNY Communities since 2009 http://tags.commons.gc.cuny.edu Rooting Out Historical Mythologies; William Dunlap’s A Trip to Niagara and its Sophisticated Nineteenth Century Audience. William Dunlap’s final play, A Trip to Niagara (1828), might be the most misunderstood play in the history of the American stage. Despite being an unqualified success with its cosmopolitan New York audiences in 1828-9, it has been regularly, and almost always inaccurately, maligned by twentieth and twenty-first century historians who have described the play as a “well-done hackwork;” full of “puerile scenes and irrelevant characters;” and valuable only for the “certain amount of low comedy” that “could be extracted from it.” [1] At best Dunlap’s play has been described as “a workmanlike job;” at worst, “one of his poorest” efforts, a play that “could hardly be said to have challenged the preeminence of contemporary British playwrights, let alone Shakespeare.”[2] As I will argue in this essay, the glaring disconnect between the play’s warm public reception and its subsequent criticism by historians often appears to be rooted in a kind of historical mythology that haunts the field of theatre history. Unperceived biases and assumptions often color interpretations of historical evidence, and these flawed perceptions are frequently transmitted from one generation of historians to the next, forming a kind of mythology around a subject that has the power to color future interpretations of new evidence. Just such a historical mythology appears to be at the heart of most criticisms of A Trip to Niagara.

    We l c o m e t o Dear Friends — it’s good to have you here! Old friends are best, wouldn’t you agree? With so much activity in and around our theatres of late, with the red carpet out for the likes of Twyla Tharp, Chita Rivera, and Sandy Duncan, it’s good to know that we continue to be loyal to and support artists whose evolving careers have made such a contribution to our community, and who are largely responsible for the extraordinary level of accomplishment of these past decades. There is a small cavalcade of Associate Artists returning for this next round, and it’s worth noting that among them, with the presence of director Seret Scott, costume designer Lewis Brown, set designer Ralph Funicello, and the great Kandis Chappell of The Constant Wife, we are also delighted to welcome home to the Carter our beloved Jonathan McMurtry whose tenure here on our stages rivals Craig Noel’s for quality, consistency, and sheer endurance. Trying, directed by Rick Seer, could have been written for Jonathan, and that comfortable fit in no way diminishes our awareness of just how fortunate we are to provide a creative home for these men and women whose talents are so interwoven with the pleasure of our playgoing. We don’t forget nor neglect the men and women upon whose backs we’ve made our reputation, any more than we ever wish to overlook your importance to us in the planning and the sustaining of this Theatre. JACK O’BRIEN Artistic Director Last summer The Old Globe celebrated its 70th Anniversary and its rich history as one of the most prominent theatres in North America.

  • The Astor Place Riot: Anti-Aristocratism Voiced with a Cobblestone Jackson Loop and Dr
    The Astor Place Riot: Anti-Aristocratism Voiced with a Cobblestone Jackson Loop and Dr. Sean Adams College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Florida The first half of the nineteenth century in America witnessed several economic and political changes. Andrew Jackson's election corresponded with a rise of the "common man," a name given to lower classes who obtained new clout at the polls through more inclusive suffrage laws. However, there were some discrepancies in this trend, which this project aims to explore. Artisans were ousted in favor of unskilled labor centered in metropolitan areas, and income inequality ran rampant. This project aims to contextualize the Astor Place Riot as an event steeped in class, vigilantism and identity.

  • Broadway Theatre Fans: Communities of Narrators and Translators
    39 Caroline Heim Queensland University of Technology, Australia Broadway Theatre Fans: communities of narrators and translators Theatre fans form vital audience communities that contribute much to the theatrical event. There has been ample discourse about media fans, yet there is a dearth of research into the vibrant theatre fan audience communities that abound on Broadway. Twenty-first century New York theatre fan communities share similar practices with their late nineteenth and early twentieth century predecessors the Bowery b’hoys and the matinée girls. The guiding principles of fan behaviour considered in this article are theatre fans’ search for, and construction of, community identity through narration and translation. Fan practices that began in the nineteenth century are compared with twenty-first century practices. Broadway theatre fans emerge as communities of narrators and translators who appropriate the stories onstage and stake their ownership of stars and productions. Caroline Heim is a Lecturer in Drama at the Queensland University of Technology. Her latest book, Audience as Performer: the changing role of theatre audiences in the twenty-first century was published by Routledge in 2016. Key words: Audiences, b’hoys, Broadway, communities, matinée girls, theatre fans n the centre of New York’s theatre district, there are invisible I boundaries to delineate tribal territories. Differing fan communities occupy these landscapes and are intimate with their piece of pavement: the marquee entrance, the stage door, the screaming posters and the lights that frame their anticipation. The fans share anecdotes, digital remembrances and reminiscences within their communities while they stand in line hours before the actual production waiting for tickets.

  • Da Ponte in New York, Mozart in New York
    Da Ponte in New York, Mozart in New York Otto Biba One might be surprised to learn that relatively few of Lorenzo da Ponte's letters have been preserved. In one of these, written in New York in 1824 to an unknown recipient, Da Ponte names what he considered to be five of his most important and successful libretti: La cosa rara, L' arbore di Diana, La capricciosa corretta, Le nozze di Figaro, and Don Giovanni. COSt fan tutte is not mentioned, nor does he name the composers of the stated titles­ Martin y Soler and W. A. Mozart (ZagoneI1995:228ff.). When I quote this letter today in order to describe Da Ponte's self-regard, I am always asked the same two questions: Who is Martin y Soler? And why does Da Ponte's letter come from New York? I answer that Martin y Soler was born in Spain, and in the mid-1780s he was, next to Mozart and Salieri, the most successful opera composer in Vienna. Then I am asked whether Da Ponte did not also write libretti for Salieri, or why Da Ponte did not include any libretto for Salieri among his most important and successful. Indeed, he did write libretti for Salieri, and I do not know why he did not mention these. Finally, whereas Da Ponte lived in Vienna for ten years and in London for twelve, he spent thirty-three years in the United States. In fact, he lived one year longer in the US than in Italy, where he was born. It is not just the fact that Da Ponte spent so much time in New York that surprises even educated music lovers and listeners today-it is also that, contrary to popular belief, Da Ponte did not devote himself to making Mozart, his friend and artistic partner, famous in North America.
