No abstract provided.

The Director In The Theatre, Margaret C. Reilly

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis will attempt to place the director in the modern theatre. His "place" is only a few years old; his very existence as a separate individual is only about twenty years old. Materials on this subject are limited to histories of the theatre and informal discussions on theatrical figures. By quoting authorities and illustrating, by the lives and accomplishments of the most outstanding directors, the development of directing, this thesis will attempt to present the general authoritative impression of the director's place in modern drama.

The Story Of The Architectural Stage, Maurice A. Grant

Bachelors’ Theses

To justify the use of the architectural stage in the mind of the twentieth century theatergoer is not an easy task. Even when one tries to impose this modern application of an old principle on one who is versed in the art of the theater, he meets with definite opposition.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A Congregation of Colored Sisters in New Orleans! To those unfamiliar with the history of the Crescent City, this seems not only an impossibility. Was not New Orleans the slave mart of the South? Is not the color or race prejudice a traditional still adhered to? Is this Congregation in its infancy? If so, when was it founded and by whom? These, and many other questions of the same type are asked by tourists when they are informed that the building on Orleans Street, formerly the Orleans b ballroom, is the Convent of the Holy Family and the motherhouse of …

The Case For High School Dramatics : Including A Survey Of The Status Of Dramatics In The High Schools Of California, Musa Evans Davis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In presenting The Case for High School Dramatics the writer wishes, in advance, to be relieved of any charge of specious pleading. It is not maintained that the dramatic method offers a panacea for the teaching of English, for she is also an advocate of continuous drill in the fundamental processes.

In this case of special pleading, however, the effective points of the dramatic method are emphasized to the best of the pleader's ability, and wholly without prejudice to other satisfactory methods of motivating oral and written English.

Several years of study arid observation in the milieu, and the pragmatic …

She Stoops To Conquer, Otterbein University

1907-1958 Productions

A round of mistaken identities stir up the hilarity for this quick-paced, rowdy farce that has kept audiences laughing for more than two centuries. Tony Lumpkin directs two lost-in-the-night Londoners to the squire's country home they search for--but impishly tells them it's an inn. Since Marlow, one of the young men, seeks to court the squire's daughter, it results in pickle after delicious pickle as he treats the squire (his prospective father-in-law) and the squire's daughter (his future wife) as an innkeeper and barmaid. The squire is perplexed at being ordered about like a servant, and Marlow indignant at the …

Shakespere's Histories As A Dramatic Pageant Of The Middle Ages, Janice M. Wolf

Bachelors’ Theses

"When Shakespeare, Jonson, Fletcher, ruled the stage, They took so bold a freedom with the age, That there was scarce a knave or fool in town Of any note but had his picture down." But William Shakespeare has gone farther than this and has woven into his Histories a beautiful story. A story, or rather a colorful pageant that carries us back several centuries to the time when William Shakespeare lived and Queen Elizabeth ruled England. Between lines he gives us a beautiful picture of merry England and her people. He reveals the customs, beliefs, and ideas of his age …
