Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Theater Classics, Vol. 1 HE Little Theater Movement is a fact. It is, in the minds of many farsighted lovers of the theater, the most important fact in the theatrical situa tion in America to-day. It promises in the end to replace, in all our larger cities west of the Atlantic seaboard, the wasteful road-company method and the equally wasteful stock-company method of providing serious drama and theatric art to that part of our people which will not rest content with cheap shows or moving pictures. NO doubt, plays that are ex traordinarily well liked in New York will always later seek the West, and the stock managers will continue to present, in routine, inadequate fashion, at popular prices, the out-dated attractions of the commercial stage. But the primarily artistic theater, growing up in the community because the community needs, nourishes, and uses it, will more and more meet and satisfy the demand of drama-loving, art-loving theater goers for new, experimental, and beautiful things.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acting and Play Production: A Manual for Classes, Dramatic Clubs, and Little Theatres Producing plays is an art, as those who have tried it will testify. It is therefore no doubt a kind of impertinence to write a manual on the subject at all, as the arts are notoriously unteachable. Nor is it main tained that the mere following of this pro posed course in dramatics will produce a renaissance in acting. What is hoped is that it may give some valuable suggestions for avoiding error, plot out a path that is not too thorny, and help the actor and di rector perhaps even by its very imperti mence to rise On the stepping - stone of its dead body to a realization of that higher genius that is creatively at work in them. For genius, like the winds of inspiration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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
