SOUTH PACIFIC

Music by RICHARD RODGERS

Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II

Book by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II and JOSHUA LOGAN

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel "Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener

Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.

Camp CSTOCK Presents G2K Oklahoma!

Mark Flanders — 2011-07-16T06:00:00-08:00

An Adaptation for Pre-High School Students

Music, Book and Lyrics by RICHARD RODGERS OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II

Based on the play "Green Grow the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs

Original Dances by Agnes de Mille

Adaptation by TOM BRIGGS

Orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett

Musical Preparation and Additional Orchestrations by John Higgins

G2K�Collection of Musical Adaptations Edited by Tom Briggs and Bruce Pomahac

G2K...OKLAHOMA! is presented through special arrangement with R&H Theatricals: www.rnh.com

The "G2K" Getting To Know Series: Uniquely adapted musicals specifically for youth performers.

Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, having set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the triumphant OKLAHOMA!

In this adaptation for pre-high school students, the content has been edited to better suit younger attention spans, but all the elements that make this show a classic are still in place. You and your students will be enchanted by the timeless story and the dazzling score, while at the same time learning about theater and its production.

PLEASE NOTE: All schools wishing to perform a G2K musical should apply through the Hal Leonard Corporation by contacting gettingtoknow@halleonard.com. Community theatres and youth organizations should apply by clicking on the R&H licensing ticket above. For questions related to G2K musicals, contact an R&H representative at (800) 400- 8160.

Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser

Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy-soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiance, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Mark Flanders — 2011-04-22T06:00:00-08:00

Music by RICHARD RODGERS

Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II

Book by HOWARD LINDSAY and RUSSEL CROUSE

Suggested by "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers"

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: http://www.rnh.com

Workshop: The Meisner Technique Of Acting

Mark Flanders — 2011-03-20T06:00:00-08:00

The Meisner Technique of Acting.

All ages. $20 12-3pm

Taught by Andrea Gonzales

RSVP by Saturday March 19th 5pm to andreamgonzales@gmail.com

Meisner Training is an interdependent series of exercises that build on each other. The more complex work supports a command of dramatic text. Meisner students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to improvise to access an emotional life, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personal response to text. The technique develops the behavioral strand of Stansilavski Systems via its articulation in an American idiom as Method Acting. The technique asserts this by emphasizing "moment-to-moment" spontaneity through communication with other actors to generate behavior that is truthful under imaginary circumstances.

Meisner emphasized doing with early training heavily based on actions. The questions "what are you playing" and "what are you doing" are frequently asked in class to remind actors to commit themselves to an objective rather than a script. Silence, dialogue, and activity all require the actor to find a purpose for performing the action. By combining the two main tasks of focusing attention on a partner and committing to an action, the technique aims to compel an actor into the moment a common Meisner phrase), while simultaneously propelling the actor forward with concentrated purpose. The more an actor can take in the partner and the partner's surroundings while performing in character, the more Meisner believed they can leave themselves alone and "live truthfully."

Yours, Anne

Mark Flanders — 2011-03-18T06:00:00-08:00

Based on Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and the play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett

Libretto by ENID FUTTERMAN

Music by MICHAEL COHEN

Originally produced by John Flaxman at Playhouse 91 in New York City, October 13,1985, Directed by Arthur Masella.

Orchestration by James Stenborg

YOURS, ANNE is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: www.rnh.com.

Show Synopsis:

This renowned chronicle of two Jewish families secreted in a cramped garret in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation is now a haunting and powerful musical. While remaining faithful to its deservedly acclaimed source material, with all of its suspense and humanity, the timeless story is enhanced by a most moving and lyrical score. Propelled by the undying faith of a young girl on tip-toe before life, Anne Frank's heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting diary still stirs our deepest emotions in a reminder of the enduring strength of the human spirit.
