THE HEART & SOUL ... AND MELODY & LYRIC ... OF FRANK LOESSER
Eckerd College Elderhostel/Road Scholar Programs, St. Petersburg, FL, Week of February 22-26, 2010, five sessions

Pulitzer-Prize-winning composer/lyricist Frank Loesser wrote the lyrics to over 2000 songs and several of the American musical theatre's most respected integrated musicals, including "Guys and Dolls," "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," The Most Happy Fella," "Where's Charley?" "Hans Christian Andersen," and "Greenwillow." A tireless contributer to Broadway and Hollywood, his music is among the most recorded and most revived in 20th century American popular music. Loesser was as colorful as the characters in his musicals. In the words of Frank's daughter, Susan Loesser, "He didn't intend to write for posterity, it is true. But even so, his work is now being discovered by a new generation, and I think he would, despite his protestations, be tickled." We examine samples of his many musical contributions to film, his Broadway productions, and his own recordings of his music which vividly bring his characters to life through his own outlook and voice.

He has been called the Ultimate Entertainer. One of the most brilliant showmen of the 20th century, Sammy Davis, Jr.'s seemingly limitless talent in dance, song, musicianship, and acting remains alive through his extensive recordings and appearnces as well as as in current musical reviews and stage shows that feature his music and his life story. From the age of 4, the young Samuel George Davis, Jr. displayed stunning talent as a hoofer in vaudeville and in film, joining his father and his adopted uncle Will Mastin in breathtaking dance routes. In the Army at 18, he was transferred to Special Services, presenting shows in camps nationwide. Moving into an acclaimed solo career, he starred on Broadway in Mr. Wonderful and Golden Boy and in film in Porgy and Bess, perfected his performances as a headliner in Las Vegas and in nightclubs worldwide to sold-out crowds, was a frequent favored guest in television variety and situation comedy, played trumpet and drums and recorded extensively for Capitol and Decca records. He chose to fight racial prejudice by performing with every ounce of his strength and skill. Surviving a severe automobile accident that cost him his left eye and might have cost him his career, he left the hospital having made the choice to convert to Judaism and chose to return to the stage with a battered face and eye patch, relinquishing his pain to complete devotion to his music. A member of the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra's group of stellar performers, he appeared in a series of popular films, on stage and television, actively continuing his show business career until his death in 1990.

ETHNIC VOICES OF STAGE & FILM: THE DYNAMIC JEWISH MUSICALS
Eckerd Osher Institute 2010 Winter Series
Course Instructor: Joy Katzen-Guthrie
http://www.eckerd.edu/olli/
Eckerd College Campus, March 8, 15, 22, 2010, 10-Noon
Palm Harbor Campus, March 9, 16, 23, 1010, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Since turn-of-the-century Broadway & the talkies, stage and film productions have explored the Jewish tradition and culture through music. These book musicals were notable in developing the characters and moving the story forward. In this course, we'll explore some classic Jewish-themed musicals and characters through lecture and film. We'll view the talent of Fanny Brice and compare it to Barbra Streisand's dramatization of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. We'll explore Yiddish musicals from stage and film, including their notable crossover stars such as Molly Picon and Herschel Bernardi. We'll re-discover the work of Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer, as well as the talent of Zero Mostel and Topol in Fiddler on the Roof, and Streisand's interpretation of Yentl. From Broadway, we'll hear Milk & Honey, compare Carol Channing's Dolly Levi with that of Streisand's in Hello, Dolly! and hear the background about — and experience various dramatizations of — characters such as Charles Dickens' Fagan in Oliver! and Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks' The Producers. We'll also discover the use of Jewish characters and situations in stories where we wouldn't expect to find them — such as Jerry Herman's Mrs. Santa Claus.

In an original dramatic work by Jan Taylor, inspired by the actual words of Edna Ferber, Joy presents a dramatic rendering of Edna Ferber, who was "the greatest, best read, novelist of her day" according to the New York Times. In 2002, Ferber was honored in a US Commemorative Postal Stamp. Praised for novels and plays that rendered sound sociology, Ferber relied on her skills as a long-time investigative journalist and her deep love of the United States. She called her last autobiography "my love letter to America." Her great novels on stage and film include Show Boat, Cimmeron, So Big, Dinner at Eight, The Royal Family, Come and Get It, Saratoga Trunk, and Giant, all calling for an intense examination of American society and values and a return to American ideals. Moreover, her autobiographies of 1939 and 1963 reveal startling predictions for the future through 2010. Her magic ... or her madness?

Ella's distinctive and impeccable vocal purity, phrasing, diction, timbre and intonation led her to become one of the most revered vocalists of the 20th century, the First Lady of Song. A 13-time Grammy Award Winner, Ella was further awarded the National Medal of Art and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Nothing in her early years could have foretold the contribution she would make to popular music nor of the future appreciation she would inspire from listeners. Child of a common law marriage, at 15 after her mother's death, she skipped school, got into trouble with the law, was taken into custody, escaped, was homeless for a time, and was finally placed in an orphan asylum. Notoriously shy, she nevertheless sang two years later in an Apollo Theatre Amateur Night. Winning first place, she was hired by bandleader Chick Webb. The gawky and unkempt diamond in the rough, as Webb described her, developed into a polished artist. Her star rose with the orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom and through hit recordings that led to a solo career that soon became one of the most notable in the business, working with the most respected recording artists and composers of the 20th century. Her performances continue to evoke sighs of awe and giddiness from the sheer scope of her interpretative and technical range, as well as the power, flexibility, and beauty of her voice. Simply put, she was one of the greatest performers who ever lived.

ELLA FITZGERALD: First Lady of Song
Eckerd Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning (OLLI) 2010 Summer Biography Series
http://www.eckerd.edu/olli/
Thursday, August 26, 2010 • 6:45-8:15 p.m. • Westminster Palms, 830 N Shore Drive Northeast, St Petersburg - (727) 894-2102
For directions to all campuses or contact information, visit http://www.eckerd.edu/olli/
Ella's distinctive and impeccable vocal purity, phrasing, diction, timbre and intonation led her to become one of the most revered vocalists of the 20th century, the First Lady of Song. A 13-time Grammy Award Winner, Ella was further awarded the National Medal of Art and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Nothing in her early years could have foretold the contribution she would make to popular music nor of the future appreciation she would inspire from listeners. Child of a common law marriage, at 15 after her mother's death, she skipped school, got into trouble with the law, was taken into custody, escaped, was homeless for a time, and was finally placed in an orphan asylum. Notoriously shy, she nevertheless sang two years later in an Apollo Theatre Amateur Night. Winning first place, she was hired by bandleader Chick Webb. The gawky and unkempt diamond in the rough, as Webb described her, developed into a polished artist. Her star rose with the orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom and through hit recordings that led to a solo career that soon became one of the most notable in the business, working with the most respected recording artists and composers of the 20th century. Her performances continue to evoke sighs of awe and giddiness from the sheer scope of her interpretative and technical range, as well as the power, flexibility, and beauty of her voice. Simply put, she was one of the greatest performers who ever lived.

The fifties ushered in a decade of unprecedented prosperity, along with fears created by the spector of the Iron Curtain & The Bomb. Revisit this era, when gas was 26 cents a gallon, bread 17 cents, and America was king of the auto industry. Recall advances in medicine (polio vaccine, golden age of antibiotics). Follow the emergence of rock-n-roll as a defined genre and see it compete with traditional sounds of pop from the Big Band Era. Study the performing arts: drama, musical theatre, film, and the emerging "art" of television. Explore the impact of McCarthyism, blacklisting, the Hollywood Ten, civil rights, and the Federal Highway Act that led to the flowering of the suburbs.

ETHNIC VOICES OF STAGE & FILM: THE DYNAMIC JEWISH MUSICALS
University of South Florida Osher Institute 2010 Winter Series
Course Instructor: Joy Katzen-Guthrie
Stabile Building, USF Campus, Tampa • Mondays, October 25-November 29 (skipping November 22), 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Since turn-of-the-20th-century Broadway & the advent of the talkies, stage and film productions have explored Jewish tradition and culture through music. These book musicals were notable in developing characters with common themes of traditional religious life vs. modern secular life, the examination of stereotypes within contemporary Jewish living, and the development of Jewish family values. Through lecture, recordings, and film, we'll explore classic Jewish-themed musicals & their characters, including Fanny Brice and a comparison of her work with Barbra Streisand's dramatization of her work in Funny Girl. We'll explore the development of Yiddish musicals from stage and film, including notable stars such as Molly Picon, Herschel Bernardi and Maurice Schwartz in films such as Mamele and Tevye The Milkman among others. We'll re-discover the talents of Al Jolson, Danny Thomas, and Neil Diamond in each of the three renditions of The Jazz Singer, both Zero Mostel and Topol in in Fiddler on the Roof, and Streisand's interpretation of Yentl. From Broadway, we'll hear Milk & Honey, compare Carol Channing's Dolly Levi with that of Streisand's in Hello, Dolly! and re-experience characters such as Charles Dickens' Fagan in Oliver! and Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks' The Producers. We'll also discover Jewish characters and situations where we wouldn't expect to find them — such as Thoroughly Modern Millie and Jerry Herman's Mrs. Santa Claus.

LENA HORNE: Timeless, Elegant, Passionate Voice of Grace

On May 10, 2010, the electrifying Lena Horne died at age 92. The 16-year-old Lena had performed for the first time at the Cotton Club. She was still making rare appearances in her nineties after having devoted more than 75 years to passionate musical expression and to breaking barriers in civil rights, social justice, and human dignity. From her early career in jazz clubs, Broadway, and touring with the Charlie Barnet Orchestra, she became one of the most successful — and in time the highest paid — black performer of her era. Typically limited by Hollywood to specialty numbers that could be cut out of films that were distributed in the South, she was never able to see her ambitions as a dramatic actress in film fulfilled. She nevertheless became one of the most recognizable and admired film, television, concert, and recording artists of the 20th century. Though blacklisted from television and film for a period, she remained devoted to social causes despite enduring threats and verbal attacks. Returning to the stage in 1981, the 14-month Broadway run of her one-woman show highlighted her then nearly 50 stellar years in show business. She called it the most liberating moment of her life, no longer having to be a credit, a symbol, a first, or an imitation of the white woman that Hollywood had wanted her to be. Said Lena: "I'm me, and I'm like nobody else." Indeed, Lena was one in a million. Always dignified, intense, and memorable, her work has been described as the highest standard of artistry, and her character as the pinnacle of integrity.

MAGIC OR MADNESS? EDNA FERBER (1885-1968) Presented in Dramatic Format
Benefit Performance for Temple Beth El, Bradenton, Florida
Saturday, Janaury 22, 2011 • Donation $18 for members, $20 for members
Unity Church Sanctuary, 4200 -32nd Street, West, Bradenton, FL  34205
Call 941-755-4900 or 941-798-8340 for information • All proceeds benefit Temple Beth EL
In an original dramatic work by Jan Taylor, inspired by the actual words of Edna Ferber, Joy presents a dramatic rendering of Edna Ferber, who was "the greatest, best read, novelist of her day" according to the New York Times. In 2002, Ferber was honored in a US Commemorative Postal Stamp. Praised for novels and plays that rendered sound sociology, Ferber relied on her skills as a long-time investigative journalist and her deep love of the United States. She called her last autobiography "my love letter to America." Her great novels on stage and film include Show Boat, Cimmeron, So Big, Dinner at Eight, The Royal Family, Come and Get It, Saratoga Trunk, and Giant, all calling for an intense examination of American society and values and a return to American ideals. Moreover, her autobiographies of 1939 and 1963 reveal startling predictions for the future through 2010. Her magic ... or her madness?
