Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Country Theater New Year's Eve the last stroke of the brush was made. The quaint cottage, the snow white-capped mountain, the tumbling waterfall and the steep ascending cliffs were painted in a manner which brought many favorable com ments from competent art critics. The blend ing Of the colors was magnificent. It was genuine art. The beauty Of it all was that these two young men found that they could express themselves even on canvas. Just as they had painted their scenery on the stage Of the theater, so did they write their play, acting out each line before they put it in final form for presentation. Often they worked all night until four O'clock in the morning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Theater Classics, Vol. 2 With the return of peace and resumption of normal activities, the Little Theater Movement visibly revives and flourishes. It is less esoteric, more communal than it used to be. The Community Houses which will probably be erected everywhere in fitting memorial for those who died for democracy will normally include a stage: the theater has attained that degree of recognition in America. The art of the theater, though it still cannot be fostered and enjoyed on a profitable basis save when by a stroke of luck a play like Ervine's John Ferguson produced by the New York Theater Guild in May, 1919, meets unexpected, widespread public favor, yet finds ever-increasing interest and support. Not even in War's darkest days was its growth wholly checked; the Detroit Arts and Crafts Theater, the Provincetown Players in New York and Copeau's Theatre du Vieux Colombier, now lost to us once more in Paris, continued to pioneer and unfold new possibilities of drama and stagecraft. A yet more fervent discipleship among all who care for Art itself may be expected now, and consequently a more rapid, venturesome, and financially sustained progress should mark the next few years than signalized the movement's infancy in 1911-1918. Three of the plays in this second volume of our series were produced before the eclipse of 1918, - two of them in a good many little Theaters.

Download or read book The Little Boss written by Frank L. Bixby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Boss A Comedy Drama in Four Acts is an engaging, thought provoking, and entirely entertaining play written by Frank L. Bixby. This play offers an historic glimpse at America during a period of racial strife, economic turmoil, and social changes that affected families both humorously and dramatically. Bixby's take on the American experience is at times true to the experience of the "every man" and at other times made more humorous or dramatic for entertainment purposes. An interesting read for modern playwrights and theater scholars, Bixby's play presents a historic look at play writing, story, the use of drama and comedy, and character development. For historians, Bixby's play also holds some interesting insight into American dialects, societal beliefs and major social issues of specific time periods, and typified groups often seen characterized in classic literature. Bixby's play can also be used as a guide for the modern playwright on what comedy works and what comedy does not work in the present-day theater. At times, Bixby almost goes too far to demonstrate negative qualities about certain groups or types of individuals, and while applicable to a certain time frame in American history, some of these characters could easily be considered offensive by modern readers. The Little Boss A Comedy Drama in Four Acts offers a glimpse into historic America with all the drama and comedy it has to offer. Bixby's play stands out as both an entertaining read and a guide for current and future playwrights on what works and what does not work in theatrical literature. This book is an interesting read for individuals who enjoy plays, the theater, and American societal history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theatre, Vol. 23: A Monthly Review of the Drama, Music, and the Fine Arts; January to June, 1894 HE Abb Marignan, as soldier of the Church, bore his fighting title well. He was a tall, thin priest, very fanatical, of an ecstatic but upright soul. All his beliefs were fixed, without ever a wavering. He thought that he understood God thoroughly, that he penetrated His designs, His wishes, His in tentions. When he promenaded with great strides in the garden-walk of his little country parsonage, sometimes a question rose in his mind Why did God make that? And in fancy taking the place of God, he searched obstinately, and nearly always he found the reason. It is not he who would have mur mured in a transport of pious humility, O Lord, Thy ways are past finding out He said to himself, I am the servant of God I ought to know the reason of what He does, or to divine it if I do not. Everything in nature seemed to him created with an absolute and admirable logic. The wherefore and the because were always balanced. The dawns were made to render glad your waking, the days to ripen the harvests, the rains to water them, the evenings to prepare for sleeping, and the nights dark for sleep. The four seasons corresponded perfectly to all the needs of agriculture; and to him the suspicion could never have come that nature has no intentions and that all which lives has bent itself, on the contrary, to'the hard conditions of different-periods, of climates, and of matter.

Download or read book Cinema Treasures written by Ross Melnick and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2004 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 100 years after the first movie delighted audiences, movie theaters remain the last great community centers and one of the few amusements any family can afford. While countless books have been devoted to films and their stars, none have attempted a truly definitive history of those magical venues that have transported moviegoers since the beginning of the last century. In this stunningly illustrated book, film industry insiders Ross Melnick and Andreas Fuchs take readers from the nickelodeon to the megaplex and show how changes in moviemaking and political, social, and technological forces (e.g., war, depression, the baby boom, the VCR) have influenced the way we see movies.Archival photographs from archives like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and movie theater ephemera (postcards, period ads, matchbooks, and even a "barf bag") sourced from private collections complement Melnick's informative and engaging history. Also included throughout the book are Fuchs' profiles detailing 25 classic movie theaters that have been restored and renovated and which continue to operate today. Each of these two-page spreads is illustrated with marvelous modern photographs, many taken by top architectural photographers. The result is a fabulous look at one way in which Americans continue to come together as a nation. A timeline throughout places the developments described in a broader historical context."We've had a number of beautiful books about the great movie palaces, and even some individual volumes that pay tribute to surviving theaters around the country. This is the first book I can recall that focuses on the survivors, from coast to coast, and puts them into historical context. Sumptuously produced in an oversized format, on heavy coated paper stock, this beautiful book offers a lively history of movie theaters in America , an impressive array of photos and memorabilia, and a heartening survey of the landmarks in our midst, from the majestic Fox Tucson Theatre in Tucson, Arizona to the charming jewel-box that is the Avon in Stamford, Connecticut. I don't know why, but I never tire of gazing at black & white photos of marquees from the past; they evoke the era of moviemaking (and moviegoing) I care about the most, and this book is packed with them. Cinema Treasures is indeed a treasure, and a perfect gift item for the holiday season. - Leonard Maltin"Humble or grandiose, stand-alone or strung together, movie theaters are places where dreams are born. Once upon a time, they were treated with the respect they deserve. In their heyday, historian Ross Melnick and exhibitor Andreas Fuchs write in Cinema Treasures, openings of new motion-picture pleasure palaces that would have dazzled Kubla Khan 'received enormous attention in newspapers around the country. On top of the publicity they generated, their debuts were treated like the gala openings of new operas or exhibits, with critics weighing in on everything from the interior and exterior design to the orchestra.' Handsomely produced and extensively illustrated, Cinema Treasures is detailed without being dull and thoroughly at home with this often neglected subject matter. Its title would have you believe it is a celebration of the golden age of movie theaters. But this book is something completely different: an examination of the history of movie exhibition, which the authors accurately call 'a vastly under-researched topic.'" - Los Angeles Times

Book Synopsis Play Producing for School and Little Theatre Stages (Classic Reprint) by : Frederick H. Koch
Download or read book Play Producing for School and Little Theatre Stages (Classic Reprint) written by Frederick H. Koch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Play Producing for School and Little Theatre Stages In the fall of 1918 when the formation of The Carolina Playmakers was planned at Chapel Hill, the Bureau of Community Drama was organized in the Extension Division of the University to encourage the producing of plays in the schools and towns of North Carolina. More than this, it has been our hope from the first to create an active interest in the writing of original folk-plays drawn from the native folk life. From these simple beginnings a remarkable renaissance in the drama has come. Today there is acting and playwriting everywhere in our Carolina country, in high schools, colleges, and little theatres from the Great Smoky Mountains to the sea. The formation of our state-wide Carolina Dramatic Association, twelve years ago, made secure the foundations of a real people's theatre in North Carolina. The rising tide of dramatic endeavor was unchecked by the hazards of the devastating financial crisis. The Twelfth Annual Festival and State Tournament of the Association, held in The Playmakers Theatre at Chapel Hill in March, was a thrilling adventure for all of us. The Festival was truly a dramatic revival. Three hundred and fourteen (314) players and directors presented thirty-one (31) plays (eleven of them original). Many of them brought their own scenery and properties. Some of them traveled hundreds of miles. And more than 3500 people attended the Festival. Through the generosity of one of the Foundations last year we were able to make available to the state the services of an Extension Instructor in Dramatic Arts, Mr. John W. Parker, Playmaker alum nus. The whole state became his campus. During the year he drove more than thirty thousand miles in assisting teachers in developing dramatics in the schools and in training directors for towns and country communities all over North Carolina. During the year he conducted five classes in Play Production, with a total enrollment of one hundred and fifty (150) students (mostly teachers), representing over sixty (60) towns and communities. The students received regu lar University credits, applicable toward a degree or toward renewing or raising teaching certificates.

Book Synopsis One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) by : Helen Louise Cohen
Download or read book One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) written by Helen Louise Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Act Plays The one-act play is a new form of the drama and more emphatically a new form of literature. Its possibilities began to attract the attention of European and American writers in the last decade of the nineteenth century, those years when so many dramatic traditions lapsed and so many precedents were established. It is significant that the Oldest play in the present collection is Maeterlinck's The Intruder, published in 1890. The history of this new form is of necessity brief. Before its vogue became general, one-act plays were being presented 'in vaudeville houses in this country and were being used as curtain raisers in London theatres for the purpose of marking time until the late-dining audiences should arrive. With the exception of the famous Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, where the entertainment for an evening might consist of sev eral one-act plays, all of the hair-raising, blood-curdling variety, programs composed entirely of one-act plays were rare. Sir James Matthew Barrie is usually credited with being the first in England to write one-act plays intended to be grouped in a single production. A program of this character has been un common in the commercial theatre in America, but three of Barrie's one-act plays, constituting a single program, have met with enthusiastic response from American audiences. There are two new developments in the history of the theatre that have encouraged and promoted the writing of one act plays: the one is the Repertory Theatre abroad and the other is the Little Theatre movement on both sides of the At lantic. The repertory of the Irish Players, for example, is composed largely of one-act plays, and American Little Theatres are given over almost exclusively to the one-act play.
