(BOSTON) ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Hershey Felder’s George Gershwin Alone . Hot on the heels of the Boston premiere of his Maestro: Leonard Bernstein , Felder will reprise his one-man George Gershwin show. Performances will take place May 30 – June 10, 2012 at the Paramount Center (559 Washington Street, in Boston’s Theatre District). Tickets, from $25 – $89, go on sale to members on April 27 and to the public on April 28. They can be purchased at www.artsemerson.org or by phone at (617) 824-8400. Steinway concert artist, composer and actor Hershey Felder spent five years researching George Gershwin’s life and works. He spoke with family members, biographers and Gershwin intimates and secured the rights from the late composer’s estate to develop a solo performance. Felder used Gershwin’s personal correspondences, original manuscripts, and personal belongings to construct a one- man show in which he brings George Gershwin to life. Audiences will experience with the actor Gershwin’s childhood, parents and siblings, as well as his musical triumphs and defeats. Not only is Felder’s appearance strikingly similar to Gershwin’s, but Felder drew on old radio archives to recreate Gershwin’s voice. He also used songs, letters and conversations to recreate the life and times of the great American composer.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

  • This Land That I Love
    APPENDIX: THE TEXTUAL HISTORY OF “THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND” WOODY GUTHRIE HANDWROTE THE FIRST DRAFT of what became his most famous song on February 23, 1940; the manuscript is repro- duced on page 153. By the time he recorded it twice for Moses Asch circa 1944 and 1945, Woody had changed the tag line to “This land was made for you and me,” and the fi rst verse had become the song’s chorus. In one re- cording, he sang the chorus, the fi rst, second, and fourth verses from the 1940 manuscript (“ribbon of highway,” “diamond deserts,” and “dust clouds rolling”), the chorus again, and the fourth verse again. This became the best-known version. In the other recording, he sang the chorus, the fi rst four verses in the order of the 1940 manuscript, adding the “private property” verse, and the chorus again. Neither the Woody Guthrie Archives nor the Smithsonian Institution has a record of him ever having sung the fi fth verse (about the relief offi ce). In 1945 he introduced the “freedom highway” verse and “Canadian mountain” to the chorus in his typed and mimeographed songbook 10 of Woody Guthrie’s Songs. In the typescript, the song is written in all upper-case letters. The “Private Property” and “relief offi ce” verses 211 9781610392235-text2.indd 211 8/21/13 11:02 AM 212 Appendix are gone. Other changes are introduced: in the “ribbon of highway” and the “dust clouds rolling” verses, the wind is “saying, / This land is made for you and me.” The book gives the song two titles: “This Land Is Made for You and Me” and “This Land.” The Woody Guthrie Archives’ folder of documents related to “This Land Is Your Land” holds four typescripts of the song, three of them undated.
