Takoma Theatre Arts Project, Inc. Our Partner: Historic Takoma TTAP Home Upcoming Events Theatre Location ... Takoma Links The Takoma Theatre was originally built in 1924 as a movie theater. It was owned and operated by Warner Brothers from 1935 until 1971, when it was purchased by William H. Wolowitz and leased to K B Theatres. In July of 1983 the theater was purchased by Milton McGinty, who removed several rows of seats and extended the stage apron to allow for live dramatic performances. The theater currently seats a maximum audience of 516 and has a large lobby with three entrances and an attractive, well-lit marquee. The stage has a playing area measuring 28 feet deep 41 feet wide, and 16 feet high. Though there is currently no projection equipment on site, the theater does have a fixed screen in place that can be used as a cyclorama. There are also two dressing rooms and a restroom backstage that have speakers and an intercom system that allow performers to hear what is happening onstage and communicate directly with the light and sound control room located above the lobby at the back of the house. The Takoma Theatre was the designed by the renowned local architect John Jacob Zink. Zink, who was based in Baltimore, went on to design the Senator Theater in Baltimore, the Uptown Theatre in Cleveland Park, the Flower Theatre on Flower Avenue in Takoma Park, Maryland and many others.

The author argues that the professional and personal history of the Victorian actress was largely defined by her negotiation with the sculptural metaphor, and that this was authorised and determined by the Ovidian myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. THE AMBIVALENCES OF MEDIEVAL RELIGIOUS DRAMA. Rainer Warning. HB Despite poor beginnings and near illiteracy, Sam Shubert (1875-1905) and his brother Lee (1873-1953) and J.J. (1878-1963) created a theatre monopoly unrivalled in history. They attracted the most sought-after stars of day, including Al Jolson, Carmen Miranda, Fanny Brice, Mae West, and Fred Astaire. Today their many theatre, including the Majestic, the Booth, and the Shubert, are Broadway landmarks. ISBN 8154 1103 Drawing on the memories and experiences of over 500 ex-students and staff, this book not only records the personalities and peculiarities of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, but also provides an insight into what is actually involved in training for the crafts of acting, directing, designing, set building, prop making, wardrobe, stage management, lighting and sound.

HISTORY OF THE STUART THEATRE On Monday, June 10, 1929, the Stuart Theatre opened its doors to the public for the first time. The first show to be performed on the historic stage was “The Rainbow Man.” The original structure occupied six floors in the 13-story building. Seating capacity was 1,850. The theater’s architecture boasted influences resembling that of Italian Romanesque, with a slight Moorish influence. Strains of other architectural types were also evident in the beamed and panel designed ceiling, two balconies and six chandeliers. The interior walls, consisting of stone and terra cotta, were designed like that of an Old Italian Palace. In 1971, the Dubinsky Brothers purchased the theater. Despite community efforts to “Save the Stuart,” it was transformed into a modern movie theater. A false ceiling was created, which covered the ornate design, magnificent chandeliers and the top balcony. The orchestra pit was covered, the marble walls and floors carpeted and the stage was bricked off. In 1977, the University of Nebraska Foundation was bestowed the first five floors of the Stuart Building, including the theater, but eventually decided that renovation of the theater was neither realistic nor affordable.

The Redford Theatre opened on January 27, 1928 as a neighborhood movie house. It was billed as "America's Most Unique Suburban Playhouse." The theatre, with its three story grand foyer and full-size stage, has been in continuous operation ever since. This was fortunate, since it enabled the Redford and its theatre organ to escape the ravages of neglect that resulted in the destruction of many movie palaces. Silent films were still being produced when the plans were made for the theatre, so a Barton Theatre organ was installed as the theatre was being built. The theatre was designed with a Japanese motif. That design included appropriate decorations on the organ console. During World War II, much of the Japanese-style decoration was removed, painted over or covered up. As the theatre continued in operation, the pipe organ was used less and less frequently. Eventually heavy draperies were hung over the organ grillework. The Motor City Theatre Organ Society became interested in the Redford Theatre because, while many pipe organs had been removed from theatres, the Redford's instrument remained intact. The Redford Theatre and the Fox Theatre are now the only two theatres with their original theatre organs in the metro Detroit area. MCTOS entered into an agreement with the owners of the theatre to voluntarily refurbish the organ and use it to present shows.

THE PHYSICAL SPACE: Stages, Properties and Costume. PROLOGUE: The Origins of Drama Twenty-five hundred years ago, two thousand years before Shakespeare, Western theatre was born in Athens, Greece. Between 600 and 200 BC, the ancient Athenians created a theatre culture whose form, technique and terminology have lasted two millennia, and they created plays that are still considered among the greatest works of world drama. Their achievement is truly remarkable when one considers that there have been only two other periods in the history of theatre that could be said to approach the greatness of ancient Athens - Elizabethan England and, perhaps the Twentieth Century. The greatest playwright of Elizabethan England was Shakespeare, but Athens produced at least five equally great playwrights. The Twentieth Century produced thousands of fine plays and films, but their form and often their content are based on the innovations of the ancient Athenians. The Cult of Dionysus The theatre of Ancient Greece evolved from religious rites which date back to at least 1200 BC. At that time, Greece was peopled by tribes that we in our arrogance might label 'primitive'. In northern Greece, in an area called Thrace, a cult arose that worshipped Dionysus, the god of fertility and procreation. This Cult of Dionysus, which probably originated in Asia Minor, practised ritual celebrations which may have included alcoholic intoxication, orgies, human and animal sacrifices, and perhaps even hysterical rampages by women called maenads.

History of the Theatre Program The Theatre program at Western Michigan University has experienced impressive growth and development over the last 94 years. From its inaugural season of two one-act plays at Western State Normal School in 1906, the program has grown to 8 to 12 full-length, fully-staged productions, plus numerous one-acts and scenes presented by the Department of Theatre in the College of Fine Arts From one interested faculty member who had to direct, design, coach, construct, and teach, the department has expanded to a staff of thirteen faculty and six adjunct faculty who comprehensively cover all the fundamental areas of undergraduate theatre education and production. Hundreds of plays have been produced since the first one-acts in 1906. Playwrights and plays representing every genre of theatre have been presented on Western's stages: improvisational and traditional children's theatre, new works, and representative classics from throughout the important periods of theatre history are all part of Western's theatre heritage. GUYS AND DOLLS The program's strength and vitality was sparked in 1906 when Mary Master of the Speech Department began the annual one-act productions. In 1911, Elva Forncrook became Speech Department head. In 1915, Miss Forncrook inaugurated the Western State Normal Dramatic Association, an organization of student performers and technicians who were the core of the theatre program. In 1917, Losene Rousseau succeeded Miss Forncrook as Speech Department head.

The History of the Grand Theatre The Grand Theatre, the third oldest provincial theatre in Britain, has a long and fascinating history. For over 200 years, under a number of different names, it has been the home of entertainment of one kind or another, adapting to changes in public taste and undergoing a number of structural alterations along the way. Financed largely by a subscription of eight shares of £50 each, the building was completed in 1782 and operated by two theatrical entrepreneurs of the time, Joseph Austin and Charles Whitlock. One of the earliest "stars" to grace our stage was Mrs Sarah Siddons from the Drury Lane Theatre in London, whose sister, Elizabeth Kemble, married Charles Whitlock. During the 19th century, visiting performers included the famous actor Edmund Kean, the internationally renowned clown Joe Grimaldi, the celebrated violinist, Paganini and even Charles Dickens who gave readings from his works. In addition to theatrical performances, the Grand was also used for social occasions, educational lectures and even scientific demonstrations. Tragedy struck in 1908 when, following a matinée of "Babes in the Wood", fire broke out in one of the dressing rooms under the stage and quickly spread to the auditorium, which was completely gutted. Fortunately, the structure of the building was saved and work soon started to restore the theatre. It reopened only seven months later, having undergone an internal transformation from a typically Georgian theatre to one that reflected Edwardian ideas of what a theatre should be - complete with tip-up seats.

Seminars 2000-2001 Richard Beacham and Hugh Denard, Virtual reality for theatre history We will present examples of work in progress in the application of virtual reality techniques, combined with a diverse range of multi-media materials, for conducting and disseminating research in theatre history. Such work includes "virtual archaelogy" of the sort employed on the Theatre of Pompey Project; extensive and highly detailed computer modelling of ancient theatre architecture; the preparation of a dedicated user interface; complex data-bases to enable a great variety of query strings; and two CD-ROMS, one on Vitruvius, and second entitled "Ancient Theatre and its Legacy", a detailed learning resource for University students. It also includes the THEATRON Project , an EC sponsored programme of international collaborative work (an 8 member consortium, headed by Warwick). THEATRON is creating computer 3D models of many "iconic" theatres from European theatre history, linking these to illustrative and contextualising material, and enabling students and researchers to access these through a VR user interface employing both CD-ROM (DVD) and the Web. The Theatre of Pompey Project is an international venture (headed by Warwick) which uses computer technology to compile comprehensive documentation and analysis of the existing visible remains of the theatre the first such study and indeed the first work on the site in 150 years. The results have then been used to create a virtual reality "re-construction" of this extraordinary monument. We will demonstrate how the evidence collected has been used as a means of virtual archaelogy to generate first an hypothesis, and then an image of the theatre, which in turn has enabled us to target the location of new actual excavation which we hope to begin this summer.

It began at the Granada Hills Woman's Club, which Jo Erickson joined in 1956 because she was looking for an outlet for her training in live theatre at UCLA, and the club boasted a drama section. In 1958 she directed her first full length production, The Women , and raised money for the club's philanthropies. Subsequently, for a period of 20 years an annual production was presented as a fund raiser for the Woman's Club, with women playing all the roles and Jo directing. As the years passed, the number of attendees increased and men were added to the casts. Friends and supporters urged Jo to form a theatre with its own identity for Granada Hills. Once she was convinced to do so, a two year search ensued for a location. When all else failed, Jo found a solution in the Woman's Club itself. She approached the board of directors to sign a lease, renting to the theatre group, for five years, with the group paying the Woman's club the full amount of rent they were then collecting from an assortment of "one night stand" rentals. The Granada Theatre was formed by a select group of about 15 men and women who had been helpful in the past. They all donated what they could, ranging from $25 to $100. One fund raiser was held at the Woman's Club in the form of a revue, and $2,000 was raised. With that money the theatre was launched in 1980. Season tickets were sold at cocktail parties sponsored by theatre members in their homes. The first play of the newly formed Theatre, opening in February 1980, was Neil Simon's

Theatre History Matters Workshop at Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Drama and Theatre Friday 7th June 2002 The aim of the day was to explore issues associated with teaching theatre history at undergraduate and postgraduate level. There was opportunity throughout the day to share good practice and resources, and to raise questions about the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to situate and articulate work within an historical context. The day consisted of three sets of presentations by panels, followed by discussion, with a fourth session devoted to small group discussions and a final plenary session. The following outline includes summaries of presentations and discussions as well as links to speakers’ notes where they are available. A Thing of the Past? Theatre History in the Undergraduate Curriculum Dan Rebellato is a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Holloway and took his undergraduate degree at Bristol University. He talked about the apprehensions and expectations concerning the establishment of drama as a subject at University, using as a particular example the early days of the drama department at Bristol University, and identified the historical problem within the discipline which hampered and still hampers the teaching of theatre history: that, in the shift in the subject towards a more theoretical approach, theatre history was often consigned to history, associated as it had been with the un-theoretical. Dan’s full notes Kate Newey is a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department at Lancaster University. She took her title from Virginia Woolf’s essay ‘On Not Knowing Greek’, and considered the consequences of not teaching theatre history in the undergraduate curriculum. She identified the existence of history in the curricula at present in the provision of a context and a background for all courses. However she suggested that there was a case to be made in favour of foregrounding the teaching of history as history, and of approaching it as an individual and subjective, as the construction of human experience throughout the ages.

The Ohio Theatre - History and Facts The Ohio Theater, named Loew's and United Artists Ohio Theatre, opened on March 17, 1928. Built for Marcus Loew, the theater was designed by Thomas Lamb and decorated and furnished by Anne Dornan. The design has been described as lavish Spanish-Baroque. Loew sent Dornan around the world to select the art and furnishings. She even went on Safari to obtain authentic decorations for the "African Corner" in the lower lounge. Lamb is also known for designing the original Madison Square Garden and the RKO Palace Theater in Columbus. The first show on March 17, 1928 began with an orchestra performance, then an M.G.M. newsreel, a live revue and finally the feature film, Divine Women starring Greta Garbo and Lars Hanson. The grand chandelier is supported by a steel bar through the steel support beams of the ceiling. It is lowered about every two years for cleaning and changing of all the lights. It takes about 2 hours to carefully bring the chandelier down. This is done with a winch that takes approximately 7 people to crank. The plaster ceiling is suspended from the roof by heavy cables. On the side panels are shells that are gilded with 23-carat gold leaf. The entire ceiling, the chandelier and the stained glass panels can be lit in several colors.

Our History The Santa Fe Playhouse produces, develops and presents the full spectrum of the theatrical arts for and with Santa Fe's diverse community. The Santa Fe Playhouse was officially incorporated in 1922 as the Santa Fe Little Theatre and has presented a season of theatre for 79 years. It has created a historic and cultural legacy within the community, preserving a heritage that was created by its founder, Mary Austin, in the early 1900's. She envisioned a theatre that reflected the Anglo, Native American and Spanish cultures of New Mexico. The theatre accomplishes this task with its open door policy; anyone who wishes to participate, either on stage, backstage or front-of-stage, is welcome at the theatre. The Santa Fe Playhouse is the oldest continuously running theatre company west of the Mississippi It is distinguished by being housed in an historic adobe building in the Barrio de Analco, one of the oldest town sections in America and is noted for the annual Fiesta Melodrama , a spoof and satire on the City Different.
