42. Carousel A synopsis and analysis of the musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. http://www.theatrehistory.com/american/musical013.html

CAROUSEL Purchase The Cast Album Sheet Music The Movie (DVD) The Movie (VHS) OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II Music by RICHARD RODGERS Originally Staged by ROUBEN MAMOULIAN Based on Liliom a play by FERENC MOLNAR as adapted by BENJAMIN F. GLAZER. First produced at the Majestic Theatre on April 19, 1945, with John Raitt as "Billy" and Jan Clayton as "Julie". T if she loved him ("If I Loved You"). The romance soon takes wing: Julie and Billy get married. Making preparations for the first clam-bake of the year, the fishermen, mill girls, sailors and children are ebullient over the vernal season ("June Is Bustin' Out All Over"). Carrie and Enoch Snow dream about their future together as man and wife ("When the Children Are Asleep"). At this point Billy learns that Julie is pregnant. Though up to now completely irresponsible and incapable of meeting the emotional and domestic demands made upon him by marriage, Billy is suddenly filled with a sense of parental pride and with an overwhelming feeling of tenderness for both his wife and his unborn child ("Soliloquy"). He is determined to get money for them to assure their future. The clam-bake proves a gay affair. ("This Was a Real Nice Clam Bake"), alive with good humour, rowdy spirits and song. Julie, however, is touched with sadness, knowing as she does that her husband is volatile in his moods and undependable in his behanviour; yet she loves him deeply, and for this reason there is no point in her wondering if he is good or bad ("What's the Use of Wond'rin'"). But that there is much bad in Billy becomes evident when he gets involved in a hold-up. Caught by the police, he commits suicide to elude arrest. Overwhelmed by her grief, Julie tries to find solace in the comforting words of her friend, Nettie ("You'll Never Walk Alone").

PAL JOEY Purchase The Cast Album Sheet Music The Movie (DVD) The Movie (VHS) Book by JOHN O'HARA Lyrics by LORENZ HART Music by RICHARD RODGERS First produced at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on December 25, 1940, with Gene Kelly as "Joey", Vivienne Segal as "Vera" and Leila Ernst as "Linda". J After the club has opened and has become a success, Linda visits Vera to warn her of a plot she had overheard. An agent and singer at the club plan to blackmail her: to reveal to Vera's husband her affair with Joey if she is not ready to pay a handsome price for their silence. Vera asks Linda if she has come to her with this warning out of her interest in Joey. Linda shrugs her shoulders and insists she has no use for the cad ("Take Him"). When one of the blackmailers arrives for his money he finds that Vera has summoned the police, and makes a hasty and undignified retreat. At this point Vera informs Joey she has grown tired of him and sends him on his way. Having lost not only Vera but also Linda, Joey decides sadly to leave town for good. Pal Joey was a forceful and uncompromising presentation of unpleasant characters and situations; and it offered a seamy side of life in a disreputable neighborhood. This was strong medicine for American theatre audiences in 1940, so long accustomed to only sweetness and light in their musicals. They rejected it. "How can you draw sweet water from a foul well?" inquired the critic Brooks Atkinson, reflecting the general reaction to this unusual production. But when

Theatre Tours qm_create(0,false,0,500,false) THEATRE HISTORY In April 2010, Broadway In Chicago announced a new location to their family of theaters: the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. The Broadway Playhouse went through a make-over to give the space an exciting new look, and reopened in September 2010 with a four-night inaugural engagement of AN EVENING WITH SUTTON FOSTER. The Broadway Playhouse will have its grand opening events surrounding the tour premiere of TRACES, beginning in October, followed by a newly adapted version of the musical WORKING in February 2011. “This theatre will give Broadway In Chicago the ability to attract those productions that are better suited for a more intimate theatre. We hope to be able to expand the theatrical experiences we offer with this intimate and unique venue in the heart of the Magnificent Mile,” James L. Nederlander, President of the Nederlander Organization, announced. In the 1970s, the building was originally built to house the Drury Lane Theatre and over the years went from theatre to movie theatre and back to the legitimate theatre Drury Lane Water Tower. Prior to Broadway In Chicago’s acquisition, they presented the year-and-a-half run of THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, as well as SHOUT and XANADU at the Drury Lane Theatre. The theatre itself is going through a complete renovation. The renovation will include a new entrance, lobby re-configuration, as well as a transformation of the interior décor that will reflect a more modern look and attract more theatrical producers interested in bringing their shows to Chicago.

50. Gerhart Hauptmann Biography of the German dramatist. http://www.theatrehistory.com/german/hauptmann001.html

GERHART HAUPTMANN Born, Obersalsbrunn, Silesia, 1862 Died, Agnetendorf, Germany, 1946 This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama GERHART HAUPTMANN'S first play, BEFORE SUNRISE , was produced in 1889 at the German Free Theater, and was acknowledged as the beginning of an important new literary movement for Germany just as Strindberg 's MASTER OLAF had been recognized as the beginning of Swedish literary independence. Hauptmann's dramatic genius is incontestable, but he has never seemed able to settle on any one form as best suited to express his dramatic intentions. THE WEAVERS , for example, a play that caused considerable stir on its presentation in 1892, is most unusual in that it is concerned with a whole community and has neither hero nor heroine. THE SUNKEN BELL , on the other hand, is centered around one man's struggle for expression. In MICHAEL KRAMER it is two men who hold the center of interest. Gerhart Hauptmann's father was a Silesian innkeeper and the boy was originally intended for a farmer. His instincts, however, were artistic rather than agricultural. After two years of study in a school of art, a year of more general education at the University of Jena, and considerable continental travel, he settled down in Rome as a sculptor. Regard for health soon brought him back to the more bracing climate of Germany, and there, after some hesitation, he gave up art for a literary career. At the time Hauptmann's BEFORE SUNRISE appeared, cultivated Germans had apparently forgotten the greatness of Germany's own

53. John Fletcher: A Biographical Sketch Biographical sketch. http://www.theatrehistory.com/british/fletcher001.html

JOHN FLETCHER A biographical sketch This biography was originally published in Chief Elizabethan Dramatists . Ed. William Allan Neilson. New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1911. pp. 858-59, 872-73. Purchase Plays by John Fletcher John Fletcher came of a family which has given many distinguished names to English literature. His father was Richard Fletcher, Bishop of London. Giles Fletcher the elder was his uncle, and Giles and Phineas Fletcher his cousins. The dramatist was born at Rye, Sussex, in 1579, and entered Benet College (now Corpus Christi), Cambridge, in 1591; but of the details of his life from this time till his appearance as a dramatist little is known. He collaborated with Beaumont from about 1605 till 1612; and, after Beaumont's withdrawel, with Shakespeare Jonson Massinger , and others. He died of the plague in 1625. The first quarto of The Faithful Shepherdess is undated, but it was certainly issued before May, 1610, and the play had been unsuccessfully produced not long before, perhaps in 1608 or 1609. Fletcher's chief model in this pastoral seems to have been Guarini's Pastor Fido , and some few details are borrowed from Spenser; but the plot itself seems to be original. The play, as Fletcher confesses in his address

Seating Chart home about membership ... contact Sponsoring 2010 Fall Concert Events Theatre History The Village of Calumet was incorporated in 1875 when it was the center of the copper mining industry in North America. As the community grew, the Town Hall was built in 1886; and in 1898, with a huge surplus in the treasury, it was decided that an opera house was needed to serve the community. At that time the village had a population of approximately 4000 and more than 30,000 lived within walking distance. The Theatre opened on March 20, 1900 with a touring Broadway production of Reginald DeKoven's The Highwaymen . In the ensuing years, the Theatre's marquee read like a Who's Who of American Theatre: Madame Helena Modjeska, Lillian Russell, John Phillip Sousa, Sarah Bernhardt, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Lon Chaney, Sr., Jason Robards, Sr., James O'Neill, William S. Hart, Frank Morgan, Wallace and Noah Beery, and Madame Schumann-Heink, to name a few. With the decline of copper mining and the local economy, and the advent of motion pictures, stage productions became less common in the late 1920s. From the depression through the late 1950s, it was almost exclusively a movie theatre, operated by several different local interests over the years. Summer stock returned in 1958, ran for nearly 10 years, and then came back under the auspices of Michigan State University in 1972. The auditorium was renovated for the village's centennial in 1975, and the exterior was restored in 1988-89. The technical and code improvements and backstage reconstruction have just been completed.
