Book Description
Founded in 1968 by Joe and Pat Lotito, the Salt City Playhouse had a 35 year run, entertaining Syracuse audiences and giving local actors, designers and playwrights a first opportunity to have their work presented on a public stage. But then years after its inception, the Lotito's dream of creating a truly professional regional theater would be tested by a broken economy of sharply rising fuel prices, and some said, by the obstinacy of Joe Lotito himself. Cut off by editors, the survival of the theater would come down to something as basic as keeping heat in the cavernous Playhouse - requiring all the grit, imagination, and generalship that Joseph N. Lotito might possess. With a cast including such memorable personnel as its Quaker box office attendant, a skateboarding lightshow artist, and a rolling turnover of actors, directors and technicians, this Itinerance is the story of three critical and tumultuous years in the House that Joe Built.

The Theatre
Mormons, Musical Theater, and Belonging in America
Author: Jake Johnson
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 025205136X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adopted the vocal and theatrical traditions of American musical theater as important theological tenets. As Church membership grew, leaders saw how the genre could help define the faith and wove musical theater into many aspects of Mormon life. Jake Johnson merges the study of belonging in America with scholarship on voice and popular music to explore the surprising yet profound link between two quintessentially American institutions. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Mormons gravitated toward musicals as a common platform for transmitting political and theological ideas. Johnson sees Mormons using musical theater as a medium for theology of voice--a religious practice that suggests how vicariously voicing another person can bring one closer to godliness. This sounding, Johnson suggests, created new opportunities for living. Voice and the musical theater tradition provided a site for Mormons to negotiate their way into middle-class respectability. At the same time, musical theater became a unique expressive tool of Mormon culture.
