A Study Of The Active Amateur And Semiprofessional Theater Groups In Central California, Phyllis Jane Nusz
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In the last several years lists of theater organizations in California newspapers hare grown steadily.

Pacific Theatre : A Chronological Recording Of Productions Between The Years Of 1935 And 1962, Curtis Andrews Ennen
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
This study could not be, and is not intended to be, an exhaustive historical report of all the theatrical activity encompassed by the Drama Department at The University of the Pacific. To embark on such a venture would be well beyond the capabilities and the patience of the present writer. In fact, to attempt a history of any one of the several facets of this organization would be a major undertaking.

A Comparative Analysis Of The Characters Of Two Dramatic King Lears : Shakespeare And Bottomley, Doyne Joseph Mraz
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It has been the purpose of this study to make a comparative analysis of the most significant characters in two selections of dramatic literature: Gordon Bottomley’s King Lear’s Wife and William Shakespeare’s King Lear.

It has been the further purpose of this thesis to delete from both plays all subplots which do not directly pertain to …

A Historical Study Of The Theatre Of The Mother Lode During The Gold Rush Period, Berton Everett Trulsson
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Many events of the gold rush have been adequately narrated in numerous books and articles. The succeeding pages in this thesis will recall, historically by topic, important incidents of one phase of that period never before treated as a separate study that phase is the theatre of the Mother Lode region.
The argonauts of the Mother Lode wanted to be entertained and could pay for it. Many preferred the saloon and gamboling hall, but the theatre did not languish because of this, and in fact, developed in some instances directly out of the saloons and fandango halls.
It was the …

A History Of The Productions Of The Little Theatre, 1933-1935, Demarcus Brown
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The growth of interest in drama and the realization of the educational value of dramatics has developed a new place for the college theatre. Pacific Little Theatre was organized eleven years ago to fulfill a definite need and has since grown slowly and steadily into a most active producing unit, serving both school and community. Indeed Pacific Little Theatre can be taken as an excellent specific example of the contribution which can be made to campus and community life by the college aside from its main function as fundamental ground for students in the theatre arts.
