A Conversation With Rita Moreno: Examining The Employment Challenges Of The Latino Actor, Valente Rodriguez
A Conversation With Rita Moreno: Examining The Employment Challenges Of The Latino Actor, Valente Rodriguez
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Rita Moreno has worked as an actress for more than 70 years. Her first acting job was in the play Skydrift, on Broadway, at age 13, in 1944. She is in an unusual position having garnered all the major acting awards and the presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award bestowed upon a non-military person in the United States. She is the only Latino EGOT as she has an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, the top awards in the field of entertainment. I thought it would be interesting to ask her what her biggest challenge was in …

Generations Apart: Exploring The Generation Gap In Theatre, Jesus Briones
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This thesis attempts to find relationships among three different ethnic groups (Jewish, Chinese, and Italian) presented in the following plays. First, there is an explanation of four different types of generation gaps that are discovered throughout the first play of examination, Fiddler on the Roof. There is a technology gap, a cultural gap, a religion gap, and an assimilation gap. Each of these gaps is present within Fiddler on the Roof and is varied throughout the remaining plays examined (Flower Drum Song and Over the River and Through the Woods). Each “gap” will be given an explanation and how it …

John Millington Synge And The Irish Women's Suffrage Movement, Nicholas A. Ewen
John Millington Synge And The Irish Women's Suffrage Movement, Nicholas A. Ewen
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
John Millington Synge is considered to be among the greatest playwrights of the English language. During his lifetime, however, his plays caused controversy and even riots. Of particular interest is the fact that much of the controversy surrounded Synge's portrayal of Irish women. Because of the radical Irish nationalism that developed in the early 20 th century, much of Synge's work has been interpreted in light of this movement. This thesis, however, explores the theory that Synge was more closely connected with an another movement that was taking place in the early 1900's: women's suffrage. His sympathies for the enfranchisement …
Where In The Hell Is Dorothy Parker?, Thomas J. Fuschetto Jr.
Where In The Hell Is Dorothy Parker?, Thomas J. Fuschetto Jr.
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
The famous members of The Algonquin Round Table once got together to write and produce a play called No, Sirree! Since very little is known about the production, questions remain of how the members decided to do such a production, what was the production, and what they later thought about the production. Since such information is missing, then I filled in the gaps with my imagination of writing and producing an original play that represents my research and my imagination of how the members of The Algonquin Round Table decided to do a play production, how they prepared for the …
