THE LAUGHMASTER: CAROL BURNETT
Thursday, January 10, 2013 • 6:30-8:00 PM, Eckerd Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning (OLLI) 2013 Winter Series
Westminster Shores, 125 56th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, (727) 867-2131
Here is a woman who truly has done it all. Stand-up and screwball comedian (in an era when a refined woman just didn't DO that sort of thing), Tony-Award winning musical star and actress, creator & host of one of the most successful television series in history (The Carol Burnett Show ran for 11 years and won more than 20 Emmy Awards), Golden-Globe nominated dramatic and comedic film and television actress, top-selling writer (Her 2010 autobiography This Time Together, was re-released in paperback in March 2011.), Emmy and Golden-Globe award-winning recurring and guest star of numerous television series and TV specials for three decades, recipient of a Peabody Award, 2003 Kennedy Center Honors, and Presidential Metal of Freedom in 2005. Simply put, Burnett has enjoyed one of the longest and most beloved careers in show business. Yet she writes that many of her fondest memories are from her renowned Q&A session with her audiences. Recognized not only for her amazing wit, physical flexibility, and brilliant solo comic and dramatic instincts, her Carol Burnett Show is additionally notable as one of the finest ensemble works ever created. It is impossible to think of Burnett without recalling her sidekicks, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. Their classic skits like Mr. Tudball & Mrs. Wiggins, Mama's Family, and Went With the Wind have become legendary and were often unrehearsed in order to allow sponteneity. The family-friendly variety comedy of The Carol Burnett Show is a lost art. "I never purposefully wanted to hurt anybody or get edgy without really being funny," says Burnett. Her physical skills, costumes, pratfalls, and brilliance of timing still inspire huge guffaws from her audiences today. Burnett will always be remembered for her creativity, her authenticity, and her class.

OLLI PRESENTS: PIONEERING AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSICAL PERFORMERS OF THE 20th CENTURY
Eckerd Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning (OLLI) 2013 Winter Series

Despite a seemingly insurmountable road toward respect and equality in American life and career, early 20th century African-American musical artists were among the most powerful, inspirational, and influential performers in history. Though fighting roadblocks, racism, and stereotyped subservient roles, they paved new paths for future artists, uniquely shaping the course of American music forever. Among these legendary pioneers of American musical theatre, film, recording, and concert performance were Bill Bojangles Robinson, Ethel Waters, Paul Robeson, Hazel Scott, Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Pearl Bailey, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis, Jr., Nat King Cole, and Harry Belafonte — whose lives and music we'll rediscover and appreciate as part of Black History Month.

As part of Women's History Month, we honor the notable women composer/lyricists who broke the glass ceiling of the musical industry during the Golden Era of American Popular Music of the 1920's - 1960's when it was considered "immodest" and "inappropriate" for women to compete with men as songwriters. Though they enjoyed hits on stage and in film, they rarely received the degree of recognition or respect afforded men. As a result, we know few of their names, even as the names of their male colleagues and collaborators are world-renowned. Learn of the careers of these creative and courageous women, along with the catalogue of their songs that are beloved still. Our course examines the work and music/lyrics of Dorothy Fields, Ruth Lowe, Betty Comden, Ann Ronell, Kay Swift, Dana Suesse, Dory Preven, and Marilyn Bergman.

In late 16th century Italy arose opera (meaning "work") — a form of vocal musical performance accompanied by acting, scenery, costume, dance, orchestra, and chorus. Swiftly spreading across Europe, these staged spectacles dominated Western musical tradition. By the 18th century, Italian opera buffa featured comic interplay, everyday dialect/settings, and more simple vocal writing. By the 19th century had arisen operetta (meaning "little work") — which was meant to convey a more realistic view of life within a lighter framework (in length, music, and subject matter). Operetta sprang from French opéra comique, which itself developed from comédies de vaudeville — farcical entertainments performed at fairs by improvised Italian commedia dell’arte characters. With their spoken dialogue, self-contained musical numbers, and popular songs (vaudevilles), all of these genres strongly influenced today's musical theatre. Through the extraordinary voices of Luciano Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland, Patrice Munsel, Alfred Drake, George Hearn, Felicity Lott, Patti LuPone, MacDonald & Eddy, Maurice Chevalier, Placido Domingo, Ann Blyth, Fernando Lamas, Kristen Chenowith and others, we'll enjoy some of the most beloved music of these genres from La Belle Helene (Offenbach), The Merry Widow (Lehar), The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart), Naughty Marietta (Herbert), The Student Prince (Romberg), Rose Marie (Friml), Candide (Bernstein), The Mikado (Gilbert & Sullivan), Bitter Sweet (Coward), The Barber of Seville (Rossini), Die Fledermaus (Strauss), Sweeney Todd (Sondheim) and more!

Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) begins in the evening of Sunday, April 7, 2013, and ends in the evening of Monday, April 8, 2013. It is observed as Israel's day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In remembrance of this time, ASPEC member Paula Rechnitz will read a speech written by her husband Moses, who survived the Holocaust and eventually became a valued member of the Eckerd College community until his death in 1999. There will be time set aside after the reading for Ms. Rechnitz to answer questions. Joy Katzen-Guthrie will present songs from the concentration camps, survivors, and resistance fighters as remembrance of the Holocaust. As European Jewry was being annihilated, individuals carried on personal quests for hope and survival. Within pain and barbarism of a scale never before imagined, music, poetry, and art arose from the camps. Joy will share examples of the experience, struggle, compassion, resistance, sacrifice and faith of these individuals.

So what exactly was heard at Har Sinai?

We will try to unravel the myths and truths of exactly what was said and/or heard at the infamous mount, as well as discuss the idea of revelation and its meaning for modern-day Jews. Come one, come all to what promises (once again) to be an evening of good learning, fellowship, and, of course, cheesecake at the place to be: Kol Ami! The short Shavuot service will be followed by discussion and music from Rabbi Jason Rosenberg, Rabbi Robert Judd, Cantor Beth Schlossberg, and Joy Katzen-Guthrie on the subject of revelation — at Sinai, in prayer, within the Book of Ruth, and within the observance and celebration of Shavuot.

Joy will share highlights of Hollywood's Jewish book musicals, with their themes of traditional religious life vs. modern secular life, stereotypes within contemporary Jewish living, and Jewish family values. Through discussion and examples from the films, Joy will compare the work of Fanny Brice with Alice Faye's characterization of Brice in "Rose of Washington Square" and Streisand's in "Funny Girl." You'll rediscover the talents of Al Jolson, Danny Thomas, and Neil Diamond in three quite different renditions of "The Jazz Singer." Experience the transition of Yiddish musicals from stage to film, including the work of Molly Picon, Herschel Bernardi and Maurice Schwartz in films such as "Mamele" and "Tevye The Milkman." See Zero Mostel and Topol in in "Fiddler on the Roof" along with Streisand's Yentl. Compare Channing's & Streisand’s Dolly Levi and revisit Max Bialystock & Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks' "The Producers." And film surprises you may never have seen.

Eckerd College Road Scholar Presents: LIGHT AS AIR: MARGE AND GOWER CHAMPION
http://www.eckerd.edu/roadscholar/ • Eckerd Road Scholar, St. Petersburg, FL
October 21-23, 2013 • Mon., October 21, 8:30-11:45 AM, Tues., October 22, 8:30-11:45 AM, & Wed., October 23, 8:30-10 AM
Frequently compared to Astaire & Rogers, the immensely popular husband and wife team of Marge & Gower Champion created some of the most visually stunning, memorable and groundbreaking dance scenes in lavish 1950's MGM musicals like Show Boat, Lovely To Look At, Three For the Road, and Jupiter's Darling. But their careers embraced so much more, with critically acclaimed and innovative dance in musical revue, musical comedy, and musical drama on stage and television as well as film. Additionally, each enjoyed successful individual careers aside of their work together. Gower would become one of the most successful and influential Broadway Director-Choreographers during America's Golden Age of Musicals, crafting the stage design and movement of powerhouse shows such as Bye Bye Birdie, Carnival, Hello, Dolly!, and 42nd Street. A master of the form, he would join the ranks of most revered performer/choreographers like Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and Michael Bennett. Marge would appear in film and would serve as a choreographer and consultant to acclaimed productions such as Queen of the Stardust Ballroom. Their story is the story of the American musical on film and stage during its heydey.
