For the theatre's 50th

Anniversary (2011) Theatre

Three's main stage has been named the NORMA YOUNG

ARENA STAGE in honor of

the theatre's founding artistic

director. Ms. Young, a Dallas

native, served the theatre as

director, leading actress and

administrator from the the­atre's founding in 1961 until

her death in 1998.

Theatre Three thrives on her legacy of artistic and intel­

lectual vigor, her wisdom and her continuous quest for

the perfect synthesis of authors, actors and audiences.

George Gershwin MUSIC & LYRICS

George Gershwin, born in Brooklyn, New York on September 26, 1898, was the second son of Russian immigrants. As a boy, George was anything but studious, and it came as a wonderful surprise to his family that he had secretly been learning to play the piano. In 1914, Gershwin left high school to work as a Tin Pan Alley song plugger and within three years, "When You Want 'Em, You Can't Get

'Em; When You Have 'Em, You Don't Want 'Em," was published. Though this initial effort cre­ated little interest, "Swanee" (lyrics by Irving Caesar) -- turned into a smash hit by Al Jolson in 1919-- brought Gershwin his first real fame.

In 1924, when George teamed up with his older brother Ira, "the Gershwins" became the dominant Broadway songwriters, creating infectious rhythm numbers and poignant bal­lads, fashioning the words to fit the melodies with a "glove-like" fidelity. This extraordinary combination created a succession of musical comedies, including Lady, Be Good (1924), Oh, Kay! (1926), Funny Face (1927), Strike Up the Band (1927 and 1930), Girl Crazy (1930), and OfThee I Sing (1931), the first musical comedy to win a Pulitzer Prize. Over the years, Gersh­win songs have also been used in numerous films, including Shall We Dance (1937), A Damsel In Distress (1937), and An American In Paris (1951). Later years produced the award­winning "new" stage musicals My One and Only (1983) and Crazy for You (1992), which ran for four years on Broadway.

Starting with his early days as a song com­poser, Gershwin had ambitions to compose serious music. Asked by Paul Whiteman to write an original work for a concert of modern music to be presented at Aeolian Hall in New York on February 12, 1924, George, who was hard at work on a musical comedy, Sweet Little Devil, barely completed his composition in time. Commencing with the first low trill of the solo clarinet and its spine-tingling run up the scale, Rhapsody In Blue caught the pub­lic's fancy and opened a new era in American music. In 1925, conductor Walter Damrosch commissioned Gershwin to compose a piano concerto for the New York Symphony Society. Many feel that the Concerto In F is Gershwin's finest orchestral work. Others opt for his An American In Paris (1928) or his Second Rhapsody for piano and orchestra, which he introduced with himself as pianist with the Boston Symphony under Serge Koussevitzsky in 1932.

C THE ANNUAL FUND

Dear Playgoer,

You are, in this letter, going to be asked to help the 2012-2013 Annual Fund Drive at Theatre Three. The campaign goes on all season, but in this playbill I really want to urge

your immediate action.

You're holding this playbill in your hands .. to read it. So there's something I know about

you. The basic thing I know is that you attend plays. (I like you already.)

�. Just as the playbill is in the hands of friends like you, the theatre itself is in the hands of friends. Yes, it takes actors, directors, authors (especially authors), designers and adminis· trators to create theatre: but FRIENDS like you

.. for over fifty years now ·· have built Theatre Three's capacities, enlarged Theatre Three's range of services, and enhanced the theatre's contributions to building a community of imagination, empathy and insight.

Every reservation you make helps us grow. Every subscription you purchase empowers the art. The response you feel (and show) enriches every performance. Every friend you send or bring with you gains us ground. Our

audience is our power source.

Let me be personal. I've been doing my job here for fifty years, and I am super proud of Dallas patrons and their eagerness to support the Arts. The achievements of citizen· artists have never been more impressive and certainly the creation of Arts facilities here is

unmatched.

Since I'm being personal here, I'll tell you I take a certain pride in my personal participa­tion in cultivating the improved "arts ecology" Dallas currently enjoys. But I never think I did anything on my own. It took friends'

investment of time, talent and treasure.

Just as there's no limit on how large a gift we could use, there's also no limit on how small a gift we would appreciate to meet the goals of the 2012-2013 Annual Fund. So, figure out something that's in your middle range to contribute, and give us the honor of listing you in subsequent plabills as one of our valued friends.

Share in the achievement here. It's a wonderful act of friendship.

Sincerely,

�CAL� Jae Alder
