Happy End, December 2 – 11, 2010, Theatre Sheridan

Theatre Sheridan Productions

Set against the backdrop of the greed of American capitalism, personified by tycoons like John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan, a gang of entrepreneurial Chicago gangsters, led by top tough guy Bill Cracker, hangs out in Bill’s Beer Hall, and plots to control the local territory. But when a Salvation Army band, led by Sister Lillian Holiday, tries to convert the gang, things don’t quite work out as planned. Surprise revelations, contentious moralistic conclusions, and one of the most celebrated scores by Kurt Weill and Bertholt Brecht, make this frothy satire one of the great evenings in the …

Application Of Leadership Principles In Theatrical Direction, Rebecca L. Rizzio

Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership Theses

This research explores the relationship between leadership principles widely believed to be effective and the behaviors demonstrated in art of theatrical direction by directors believed to be effective. The Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach was used to survey actors, designers, and stage managers. Directors from the Twin Cities theater community that the respondents deemed to be most effective were then interviewed. Parallels were drawn between the qualities cited in the surveys and the leadership behaviors theorists believe to be most effective. Findings will be shared with the theater community.

Silence: Exploring Salvatore Sciarrino’S Style Through L’Opera Per Flauto, Megan R. Lanz

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

The purpose of this paper is to examine the works in Salvatore Sciarrino’s (b. 1947) collection L’opera per flauto written for solo flute and to examine Sciarrino’s compositional style, focusing on his characteristic markings, creative sonorities, and other pertinent facts about pieces in the collection. The first chapter in this paper discusses the value of silence in music and how Sciarrino provides the illusion of perceived silence. Chapter Two discusses elements of Sciarrino’s compositional style and the presence of complex notation. The final chapter provides flutists with a technical guide to the seven pieces in his L’opera per flauto collection. …

Recasting Genre In Tennessee Williams's Apprentice Plays, Christina Ilona Hunter

Dissertations

This dissertation investigates Tennessee Williams’s earliest full-length plays, also known as the apprentice plays—Candles to the Sun, Fugitive Kind, Not About Nightingales, Spring Storm, and Stairs to the Roof—by comparing, contrasting and contextualizing them in relation to Daniel Chandler’s generic criteria of drama; namely, narrative, characterization, setting, topics, iconography, and staging techniques. The present study also draws upon an extensive body of scholarship pertaining to genre theory, Williams’s cultural contemporaries, and the historical and psychological backdrop of Depression-era America. In these early plays, Williams diverged sharply from the dramatic generic conventions of his day, manipulating them in new …

'Moonlight And Magnolias', Gordon Reinhart

Gordon Reinhart

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work.While fending off the film’s stars and gossip columnists, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors and the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films …

The Drowsy Chaperone, November 30 – December 11, 2010, Theatre Sheridan

Theatre Sheridan Productions

The mousy, agoraphobic, Broadway fanatic ‘Man in Chair’ seeks to cure his “non-specific sadness” by listening to a recording of a (fictional) 1928 musical comedy entitled The Drowsy Chaperone. As he enjoys this rare recording, he is transported into the musical, his dingy apartment transformed into a Broadway set. Frenetic tap dancing, hysterical situational comedy, mistaken identities, and the inevitable happy ending all make for an unforgettable evening in the theatre. Music & lyrics by Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison. Book by Bob Martin & Don McKellar

Did you know Baroque was the new music of the 17th century? In the 21st century, it is the fastest growing niche in the classical music business. The dynamically engaging ensemble REBEL returns to the Alexander Kasser Theater with a specially crafted program featuring works by both well-known and lesser-known composers. In this remarkable musical journey, REBEL presents works by composers of vastly different backgrounds–Handel from the royal city of London; Telemann from the urban center of Hamburg; and Scheiffelhut, Fischer, and Schmierer from the country courts of southern Germany–in an exciting and rare arrangement of compositions, all of which …

Pirates Of Penzance, La Salle University

The Masque Programs

Setting the Scene

The History of Pirates of Penzance

Pirates of Penzance is a story filled with songs, puns, lies, more puns, paradoxes, hearing deficits, leap years, duties, Queens, and of course, pirates. As the audience follows Frederic throughout his journey as a former indentured pirate, we learn about the immoral yet oddly dutiful life of a pirate. Our modern audience is familiar with pirates from the modern interpretation of the peg-legged, parrot wearing, skull and crossbones buccaneer who speaks with many "Arrr's" and "Scallywags." Yet, how accurate is this depiction?

The act of piracy pervaded the trading world for …
