Sketchy Area The premiere in January of Sketchfest, San Francisco's monthlong sketch comedy festival, was so successful that troupes from all over were asking about the second one even before the first had closed. The follow-up arrives this week, and for those who like to laugh, this is one arts festival that ought to stick around. In addition to returning locals such as Kasper Hauser, Totally False People and White Noise Radio Theatre, the lineup features groups from Los Angeles to New York, Texas to Montreal. Performers include Comedy Central's Upright Citizens Brigade (pictured) and Fred Willard ("Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman") and His Hollywood Players. James Sullivan Comic Fred Willard does smug best Actor's troupe tackles sketch festival Stereotyping has earned itself a bad name, but it's a cornerstone of comedy. Done well, types are both funny and inherently absurd. Fred Willard is, or at least plays, a classic, old-fashioned comic type. In the age of irony, he is essentially his own straight man, an unctuous Everyman who plays endless variations on the theme of the decent Midwesterner who has things under control. He's a clueless know-it-all. Willard, one of the stars of Christopher Guest's cult comedies "Best in Show" and "Waiting for Guffman," brought his sketch comedy troupe, the Hollywood Players, to town for four shows over the weekend. The group anchored the second week of the monthlong San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival, which continues through the 26th with performances by Killing My Lobster, Kasper Hauser, Totally False People and others.

45. Radio City Music Hall - The Music Hall History a theatrical genius by employing an innovative combination of vaudeville, radio City quickly became the favorite firstrun theatre for moviemakers http://www.radiocity.com/themusichall_history.html

An American People's Palace Donald Deskey wasn't the most celebrated interior designer to enter the competition for design of the Music Hall's interior spaces. In fact, he was relatively unknown. But from the moment opening night visitors passed through the lobby and entered the Grand Foyer, his popular legacy was secured. In his design for the Hall, Deskey chose elegance over excess, grandeur above glitz. He designed more than thirty separate spaces, including eight lounges and smoking rooms, each with its own motif. Given "The Progress of Man" as his general theme, he created a stunning tribute to "human achievement in art, science and industry. He made art an integral part of the design, engaging fine artists to create murals, wall coverings and sculpture; textile designers to develop draperies and carpets; craftsmen to make ceramics, wood panels and chandeliers. Deskey himself designed furniture and carpets, and he coordinated the design of railings, balustrades, signage and decorative details to complement the theatre's interior spaces. He used a brilliant combination of precious materials (including marble and gold foil), and industrial materials (including Bakelite, permatex, aluminum and cork). The strength of his achievement is reflected in how well the theatre has maintained its character over time. It was a remarkable example of contemporary design in its day and it still has the power to take the breath away. It remains an elegant, sophisticated, unified tour de force.

A Closer Look At The Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA Tim Newby Thursday, February 03, 2005 “Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart” The Tower Theatre, on the corner of 69th and Ludlow in Upper Darby, PA just outside Philadelphia began life in 1927. Built in record time, the then 3500 seats were installed in just five days, a fact the manufacturer, The Stone Company, took great pride in. Taking its name from the large blue tower like structure that sits atop the building, that at one time was capped with a large lighted rotating ball used to attract patrons. To this day it still sports its classic wrap-around marquee announcing upcoming shows, that is topped with tall red illuminated letters spelling out “Tower.” The Tower served as a vaudeville showplace for the first part of its career, but during the late 1930’s and early 1940’s with vaudeville on the decline, it began to show movies in addition to its live acts. It would still host the occasional live show, but movies became its primary attraction in the 50’s and 60’s. In the early 70’s it was sold and converted into a live music locale. Despite the shift in entertainment, the Tower retained its classic charm and style, and with its roots as a vaudeville stage, it was soon discovered by touring bands of the time that it possessed great acoustics as well.

CofC Home About CofC Academic Programs Library ... Technology News C of C Theatre Professor Staging "Virtual Vaudeville" January 23, 2002 Professor Susan Kattwinkel Vaudeville, America’s popular mainstream entertainment before motion pictures, radio and television, will take a high-tech curtain call. Susan Kattwinkel, a theatre professor at the College of Charleston, is involved in a computer modeling production called “Virtual Vaudeville.” Officially known as “A Live Performance Simulation System: Virtual Vaudeville,” the project has been awarded a $900,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Kattwinkel is part of a team of theatre historians, musicologists, computer scientists, and animators from seven universities that plans, in 2004, to stage a first-of-its-kind internet vaudeville show. “New computer technology does need to be invented for this,” said Kattwinkel. “The idea of putting performance modeling together with a virtual reality environment is new in the way that we want to do it.” Performance modeling involves putting sensors on a person’s body and then digitizing all of the movements so that computer models can be constructed. The technology is now used in athletics to study, for example, a golfer or baseball player’s swing.

LIBRARY RESEARCH List of papers CONTACT US HOME AUSTRALIAN CULTURE 1789-2000 By Paul Bentley October 1999 Strike Me Lucky! 1901-1950 When the Commonwealth of Australia came into being on 1 January 1901, the continent was still a collection of divided and distant states. There were divisions between city and country, antipathies between east and west, and rivalries between cities. There was no national anthem and no national flag. Australians still felt a strong allegiance to Britain. The national surge of the 1890s faltered under the strain of new economic and social tensions: management of the new nation, conflicts between capital and labour, between government and unions, and the tribulations of another devastating economic depression. Two world wars cemented ties with the mother country. At a time when the weekly musical evening round the piano formed the basis of cheap entertainment, the gramophone and crystal set created new diversions for the home. In theatres, new entrepreneurs of the silver screen offered competition to the old-style live theatre managements.
