THE CENTER FOR THE ARTS A NOTE ON THE COVER: The symbols in the upper left hand rectangle indicating the seasons, incorporate the natural processes of life and the four quarters of the academic year. The symbol for winier and serenity is as one looking through a door structure at the falling snowflakes; that of spring shows the germination of a seed and start of life; the symbol for summer shows the blossom and re-creation of life; the autumn symbol shows the withering, or descent, of life. The sculpture in the upper right hand corner, Portrait of the Artist, by Frank Gallo, stands for the man of art. The symbols of the lower right hand rectangle incor­ porate the lour major activities in the Centerior the Arts. t The symbol of art is derived from the family crest of Michelangelo, the Renaissance artist, sculptor, and archi­ tect, and also reflects the shape of a flower. The waves from the symbol for music designate the sound, rhythm, and harmony of music. The symbol for drama is taken from the Elizabethen con­ cept of theatre, also used by Shakespeare, designating the lour humors, melancholy, choler, sanquinity, and phlegmaticism. ota, and I The symbol for the Performing Arts, three joined arrows, THE BUILDING: The building, conta ining 78,000 square shows the unification of both audio and visual elements feet, was completed this fall at the cost of $ l ,620,000. ota.

    GUIDE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY RESOURCES AT THE AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER "'You know out in Wyoming we have had woman suffrage for fifty years and there is no such thing as an anti-suffrage man in our state -- much less a woman.'" Grace Raymond Hebard, quoted in the New York Tribune, May 2, 1920. Compiled By Jennifer King, Mark L. Shelstad, Carol Bowers, and D. C. Thompson 2006 Edited By Robyn Goforth (2009), Tyler Eastman (2012) PREFACE The American Heritage Center holdings include a wealth of material on women's issues as well as numerous collections from women who gained prominence in national and regional affairs. The AHC, part of the University of Wyoming (the only university in the "Equality State") continues a long tradition of collecting significant materials in these areas. The first great collector of materials at the University, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, was herself an important figure in the national suffrage movement, as materials in her collection indicate. Hebard's successors continued such accessions, even at times when many other repositories were focusing their attentions on "the great men." For instance, they collected diaries of Oregon Trail travelers and accounts of life when Wyoming was even more of a frontier than it is today. Another woman, Lola Homsher, was the first formally designated University archivist and her efforts to gain materials from and about women accelerated during the service of Dean Krakel, Dr. Gene Gressley, and present director Dr. Michael Devine. As a result of this work, the AHC collections now contain the papers of pioneering women in the fields of journalism, film, environmental activism, literature, and politics, among other endeavors.

  • My Life in Art: a 21 Century Riff on Stanislavsky
    st My Life in Art: A 21 Century Riff on Stanislavsky Gerald Freedman [Gerald Freedman’s address was presented at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC on April 20, 2008.] I’m honored and flattered to be asked to speak to this assembly of my distinguished peers. What can I say to you that you don’t know or haven’t experienced? Not much, I expect, except the story of my own journey. Yet I don’t like talking about myself. I find other people so much more interesting. I don’t want to preach about the state of the theatre or about its future. I don’t want to play either Il Dottore or Pantelone. All I really know is my journey. Then I think of what a remarkable journey I’ve had; the great mentors I’ve encountered, and the choices I’ve made, mostly by accident or coincidence, that have shaped my life. By the way, I like “mentor” rather than teacher, for myself as well as those I’ve worked with and worked under. In the dictionary, “teacher” has a dozen definitions. “Mentor” has two. One who shares and one who guides. But I like that. One who shares and one who guides. I want to think of mentoring as a collaboration, a master and journeyman relationship rather than a superior and a subordinate. Which one of us doesn’t feel that with each production we are again at zero—starting another learning project—and that’s the condition we share with our younger journeyman or apprentices.

  • Willy Loman and the Method
    Spring 1987 151 Willy Loman and the Method Steve Vineberg* A great new performance in a famous role illuminates corners of a dramatic work previously hidden in the shadows, and thus it always implies an annex to the body of critical material focused on the play. When Dustin Hoffman took on the role of Willy Loman, the protagonist of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, in Michael Rudman's Broadway revival in 1984, he suggested a way of looking at the character and the play that challenged Lee J. Cobb's justly famous portrayal in the original production, in 1949. Jux• taposed, the two performances demonstrate the distance between a classical reading of Miller's play, which he advocated strongly in his own critical writings within the decade of its unveiling, and a more contemporary, naturalistic approach—what we might call a revisionist Salesman. And since Hoffman is the first major Method actor since Cobb to make a stab at Willy, a consideration of the two performances also underscores the connections between the play and the history of American Method acting. In this essay I would like to discuss those connections and then compare the two interpreta• tions, drawing on a viewing of Hoffman's work in September 1984 and on Cobb's 1966 television recreation of his stage performance. We are denied, unfortunately, a record of Cobb's original appearance in the role, in 1949, but his splendid recreation of the role in 1966 is, I think, a fair indication of one actor's interpretation; moreover, it represents a sufficient distance from Hoffman's, eighteen years later, to make a strong argument for the difference between the readings.

Mowry. Her elementary and high school education was in the Pittsburgh public Schools. Early identified as “gifted,” she entered school six months before her sixth birthday, being placed in the second grade, since she was already reading fluently. She subsequently “skipped” another full grade finishing the eighth year at the age of twelve. She attended South High School, graduating as valedictorian of a class of sixty. She was active in extra- curricular affairs, particularly the honorary Literary Society and the Dramatic Club, playing featured roles in their annual productions. She wrote a column for the school newspaper and edited the senior yearbook. Through the Exceptionally Able Youths’ Committee of the Civic Club of Allegheny County, she was offered a college scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. In 1932, she was a speaking extra in famed actress Ethel Barrymore’s The Kingdom of God at the Nixon Theatre in Pittsburgh. She was awarded the bachelor’s degree in June, 1934—in the midst of the Great Depression.
