His blend of Jewish immigrant and African-American music styles created the American Songbook – putting stars in the eyes of each new generation of fans. With your help, we put stars in the eyes of the nations’ largest teen theatre audience. More than 33,000 teens come to us from schools as close as Humboldt and Harding and as far away as Superior, Wisconsin and Cresco, Iowa. They leave here inspired by a new understanding of the human spirit – challenged to rethink their role in life. Special partnerships put Park Square stars in the classroom. Artists Doug Scholz- Carlson and Kym Longhi are helping the immigrant students at Leap High School devise an original play in English and their (24!) native languages. The students want to share their dreams for college and demonstrate how more education will build social equity and greater financial security for their families. These students will perform their original play for their families and community elders on our stage next spring. We need you (yes you) to keep our “stars” working on stage and in the community. Your tax-deductible contribution helps teens of all backgrounds envision bright futures through theatre that matters. Thank you for your generosity! Richard Cook, Artistic Director C. Michael-jon Pease, Executive Director, CFRE 651.767.8482 | [email protected] 651.767.8497 | [email protected] OUR MISSION is to enrich our community by producing and presenting exceptional live theatre that touches the heart, engages the mind and delights the spirit. 3 MUSICAL SELECTIONS ACT ONE Portamento (George Gershwin) ............................................................Klezmerica Vodka* (Instrumental) (George Gershwin) ..........................................Klezmerica On Tin Pan Alley The Sidewalks of New York (Lawlor & Blake) ....................................

Ytsma FROM THE AUTHOR, JOSEPH VASS: I first heard George Gershwin’s music as a child. I loved it immediately. Much later, when I began to listen to traditional Jewish music, I made the connection. To me, Gershwin’s music is Jewish. At first, I knew this merely in a purely subjective, spiritual sense. It sounded Jewish to me. Then I learned that Gershwin himself labeled his own melodies as Jewish “according to the deep emotional element that flows in them.” But, back in 1997, when I proposed to the Of course, once I tagged Gershwin with the Jewish Community Center of St. Paul a con- provocative label “klezmer,” I complicated cert entitled Gershwin the Klezmer, I confess the issue.

Vass also wrote the play and the music for Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Great Nome Gold Rush, recently a record-setting hit in its world premiere at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, as well as Words By Ira Gershwin / A Musical Play By Joseph Vass, which has been performed across the U.S., including at Park Square Theatre in 2013.

  • Kenny Burrell
    Kenny Burrell One of the leading exponents of straight-ahead jazz guitar, Kenny Burrell is a highly influential artist whose understated and melodic style, grounded in bebop and blues, made him in an in-demand sideman from the mid-'50s onward and a standard by which many jazz guitarists gauge themselves to this day. Born in Detroit in 1931, Burrell grew up in a musical family in which his mother played piano and sang in the Second Baptist Church choir and his father favored the banjo and ukulele. Burrell began playing guitar at age 12 and quickly fell under the influence of such artists as Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Oscar Moore, T-Bone Walker, and Muddy Waters. Surrounded by the vibrant jazz and blues scene of Detroit, Burrell began to play gigs around town and counted among his friends and bandmates pianist Tommy Flanagan, saxophonists Pepper Adams and Yusef Lateef, drummer Elvin Jones, and others. In 1951, Burrell made his recording debut on a combo session that featured trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie as well as saxophonist John Coltrane, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and bassist Percy Heath. Although his talent ranked among the best of the professional jazz players at the time, Burrell continued to study privately with renowned classical guitarist Joe Fava and enrolled in the music program at Wayne State University. Upon graduating in 1955 with a B.A. in music composition and theory, Burrell was hired for a six-month stint touring with pianist Oscar Peterson's trio. Then, in 1956, Burrell and Flanagan moved to New York City and immediately became two of the most sought-after sidemen in town, performing on gigs with such luminaries as singers Tony Bennett and Lena Horne, playing in Broadway pit orchestras, as well as recording with an array of legendary musicians including Coltrane, trumpeter Kenny Dorham, organist Jimmy Smith, vocalist Billie Holiday, and many others.

  • Partner Songs
    PARTNER SONGS Partner songs are two different songs that have a similar harmonic structure and length, so they may be sung together. A quodlibet (or quodlibot) is a four-section song (or four songs) that can be sung together. Sometimes the partner songs work only if one of the songs is sung twice, or slowed. Some are simple tunes that could be played on recorder or barred instruments instead of sung. Orff accompaniments usually work well. Some combinations of these songs work better than others. An effective lesson can also be taught analyzing where 2 songs don’t seem to “go together”.

  • Rodgers and Hammersteinâ•Žs Affect on Post
    Dees 1 Alison Dees Professor McDouglad English 1102 F13 8 December 2013 From Pants to Pearls: Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Affect on Post WWII Women During the 1940s, musicals like This is the Army and Strike up the Band dominated the theatre world. These musicals contained plots that focused on patriotism and primarily featured leads held by men. In Strike up the Band, the two male mangers of a cheese factory wage war against Switzerland (“Strike up the band”, 2013). In This is the Army , a cast filled with men sings about the trials that come with being in the Armed Forces (Kenrick). Theatre producers’ primary focus seemed to be on the war raging in Europe and Japan. While actors were singing about the harsh reality of war, men were actually living it. Many men left home to fight for our freedoms overseas during World War II while women became the power that fueled the American home front. From Rosie the Riveter to articles that talked about different ways to wear your hair at work, the nation was trying to bring glamour to the women who traded their home life for a job in a factory. The Sperry Company even created a Miss Victory pageant where “women were encouraged to wear slacks and keep their hair hidden for safety.” These pageants gave working class women a chance to model their work clothes all in hopes to support the company’s campaign that “focused on safety practices that eliminated traditional markers of femininity such as long hair and skirts” (Pantnode 231-2450).
