Commercial Printing BEHIND THE SCENES Missouri Theatre raises curtain on timely face-lift By LYNN ISRAEL of the Tribune’s staff Published Sunday, May 15, 2005 The show goes on at the Missouri Theatre - even between performances. On May 6, the theater completed two weeks of backstage renovations that cost more than $90,000, said David White, executive director of the Missouri Symphony Society. Work crews gave the venerable old lady a face-lift that included repairs and replacements of the counterweight rigging pulling system that helps raise and lower the curtains, lights and scenic elements. The stage electrics also were changed. He said the next step is preparation by architects of a draft version of renovation plans, as well as work on the business plan, both expected by midsummer.

Commercial Printing BEHIND THE SCENES Missouri Theatre primed for Porter tribute By LYNN ISRAEL of the Tribune’s staff Published Sunday, March 20, 2005 The star attraction this Saturday at the Missouri Theatre will not be a singer or a musician or a dancer but an usher and a volunteer usher at that. The 7 p.m. show will honor Porter’s longtime efforts to keep Columbia’s cultural opportunities advancing with a loud roar. Kanai May, director of public relations for the society, said Porter has been involved with the organization almost from its inception. In the early 1970s, she joined the Women’s Symphony League, the society’s auxiliary fund-raising organization founded in 1971. She has been attending and supporting concerts ever since. Proceeds from the evening aid three organizations of particular interest to Porter heart: the Missouri Symphony Society, Friends of Music of the MU School of Music and the Stage Door Club, which is a philanthropic organization that contributes to the MU theater department.

ETSU Division of Theatre offers hands-on experience behind the scenes August 17, 2001 JOHNSON CITY – When the lights go down and the curtains open to reveal an upcoming performance, few in the audience realize what it takes to bring those intimate details to the stage, but the East Tennessee State University Division of Theatre knows it well. Everything from costumes and backdrops to props, lighting and sound are carefully prepared by a behind-the-scenes team before and during showtime. At ETSU, this team is made up of theatre instructors, their students and volunteers. “We try as much as possible to make sure students are running the show,” said Melissa Shafer, an assistant professor of communication who serves as Division of Theatre technical director and director of design. “We are there to troubleshoot in case there's a problem the students can't solve.” Students are largely responsible for everything from scene construction to make-up application, not to mention acting. Part of those responsibilities involve designing a set. An arduous process, set creation begins with a working drawing of how the set will look. From there, students literally build their way to the finished scene. After finalizing an outline and transferring it to a more permanent, wooden surface, students saw, sand, paint and hammer under Shafer's supervision. “Our shop is remote from the theatre, so finished work often has to be done on the set for everything to fit the stage and be easily taken down for storage,” said Shafer. The shop is located in the basement of Brooks Gym, and performances are held in Bud Frank Theatre in Gilbreath Hall on the main ETSU campus, as well as in the historic Memorial Theatre on the grounds of the adjacent Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Mountain Home.

About The Hoya Friday, January 23, 2004 CAMPUS THEATER Behind the Scenes Nomadic Theatre Begins By Erin Brown Hoya Staff Writer Andreas Jeninga/The Hoya WHEREFORE ART THOU: “The Balcony” cast performs a puppeteer exercise. As if general auditions were not challenging enough, three dozen hopefuls for Nomadic Theatre’s “The Balcony” returned on Saturday morning for another grueling day in front of director Karen Berman. Some of them started as early as 10 a.m. and, instead of reading monologues and acting like rock stars, they were asked to perform actual lines from the play. “It was probably the longest callback I’d ever been to,” says Christina Ciocca (COL ’05), “but one of the most interesting and exciting, too.” Ciocca was cast as Irma, leader of the brothel and main character of the show. A demanding role from the start, she and male lead Michael Benz (COL’ 04), didn’t leave until 6:45 p.m., performing with all of the other characters to test their chemistry together. For Berman, the differences in chemistry were often negligible.

About The Hoya Friday, January 30, 2004 CAMPUS THEATER Behind the Scenes Model Set Takes Shape By Erin Brown Hoya Staff Writer Andreas Jeninga/The Hoya MINIATURE WORLD : Elizabeth McBrearty puts the finishing touches on her model for “The Balcony.” Big things have to start small and, with the construction of the set for “The Balcony,” Nomadic Theatre has learned this lesson well. Crouched over a small black box exactly one twenty-fourth the size of Walsh’s theater, Elizabeth McBrearty (COL ’04) arranges tattered pieces of hemp rope along a crooked wire bar. The ropes represent a thick weave that will serve as the play’s backdrop, she explains, “so it’s not really going to look like that.” Since November, McBrearty has been toiling away at the set design for “The Balcony,” trying to create a concept that facilitates — and accentuates — all of the themes and activities that take place in the show. One of the themes that director Karen Berman has especially emphasized has been “voyeurism,” probably derived from the play’s setting in a brothel. McBrearty worked to implement this theme and vision into her design. “I’m really trying to play with the way a traditional audience looks at a play,” she says as she fidgets with her miniature set.

Season Schedule View Cart Media Contact Us Beginner's Guide to Ballet Learn more... Before a ballet is ready to be performed on stage, hundreds of hours of work take place behind the scenes. Juri Hiraoka in class (Photo by Bruce Zinger) The setting of the stage in a ballet helps to evoke the time, place or atmosphere of the production. All of the sets, scenery and props used by the National Ballet are made at the company's production workshop, a large building the size of an airplane hanger. From the initial drawings made by the set designer, scenic artists, carpenters and electricians work together to bring the setting to the stage. Lighting design is then added to enhance various aspects of the production. Often the same person who designs the setting of a production will also design the costumes. The designer will start with a drawing of what they think the costume will look like and then the National Ballet's wardrobe department will make a pattern, choose material, sew it together, decorate the costume and finally fit it on the dancers. Ballet costumes have to be carefully reinforced so that the dancers can move easily in them and not worry about them coming apart while they are dancing. Chris Read Making Costumes for Swan Lake.

Behind the Scenes http://www.pbs.org/masterpiece Our Town When Our Town was made into a film in 1940, the studio, United Artists, requested that the ending be changed and Emily be allowed to live. Thornton Wilder agreed to the change. Paul Newman's first appearance in Our Town was in 1955, when he starred as George in a musical version for television, along with Eva Marie Saint as Emily and Frank Sinatra as the Stage Manager (warbling the song "Love and Marriage," later the theme song for the Married with Children television series). Eric Stoltz starred as George in the 1989 version, produced at Lincoln Center, with Spalding Gray as the Stage Manager and Penelope Ann Miller as Emily. Helen Hunt appeared as Emily after Penelope Ann Miller left the production. At the Williamstown (Massachusetts) Theatre Festival in 1976, Geraldine Fitzgerald became the first woman to play the Stage Manager. The first time Williamstown presented the play, Thornton Wilder played the Stage Manager. He said that learning the lines he had written was one of the hardest things he'd ever had to do. Thornton Wilder was a good friend of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. You can read their correspondence in
