Death of a Salesman: Most Ambitious Project in History

Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is considered by many to be the most inspiring and evocative play produced in American dramatic literature to date.  At its opening in 1949, audience’s were moved to pray in the aisles and would often be stunned into silence and forget to clap for up to four minutes after the show had ended.  Salesman went on to win the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for best play, etching Miller into theatre history forever.

It is with this moving piece that the Theatre Department at St. Ambrose University has mounted its most ambitious project ever. Reuniting its alumni and merging them with current students and faculty, Ambrose hopes to create a piece of unforgettable artwork filled with invaluable experience.

The production of Death of a Salesman will open Sept. 9th and runs thru Sept. 12th, 2004, in the Galvin Fine Arts Center’s Allaert Auditorium.  The alumni come from all over the country.  Director Matt Speak traveled from L.A. for the chance to direct Salesman. “When I got the call to direct, my answer was already decided,” Speak stated plainly. “It’s great to see a lot of our alumni who have gone onto professional work return to make a great American classic come to life.

SAU is proud to have its very own Michael Kennedy playing Willy Loman, the tragic lead that is determined to find success, or die trying.  Kennedy, a professor in communications and theatre at SAU for the past thirty-five years, is delighted for the opportunity to play this complex role.  “I am looking forward to the continued challenge and the people at work around me.”  Kennedy also offered some wisdom when approaching the show, as well as the character of Willy Loman. “In order to do a tragedy, you can’t go into it already destroyed.  It’s how you go into the danger and let it destroy you, one piece at a time.  Willy Loman is almost a hero, in spite of himself.”

The production of Death of a Salesman started as a simple thought.  For the past few years, Dr. Johnson and Kris Eitrheim, technical director and chair of the theatre department at SAU, have tossed around the idea of doing a production starring Kennedy in the leading role.  Kennedy commented that Dr. Johnson walked in his office one day and set the script down on his desk and said, “You need to play this part.”

“Hell,” thought Kennedy, “it’s the one they want to do and Arthur Miller may very well be my favorite American playwright, why not?” 

“He said as soon as you produce it,” added Dr. Johnson. “So I did.”

If there is any doubt that a play from the late 1940’s lacks in the ability to connect with a modern audience, it was quickly dispelled by Speak. “Salesman has to do with dreams.  It is a person coming to a time in his life and realizing that all his dreams will not come true and facing this reality.  It is a timeless idea.”

The professionalism of graduates and current students from over the past 40 years has been incredible.  Kennedy boasted, “The difference between professionals and amateurs is not money, its attitude.  Salesman has proven that what we have been trying to do here for years works.  And that’s turn out people who put the story before themselves.”  “It confirms what an Ambrosian in theatre becomes after leaving the department,” added Eitrhiem. “It is a hallmark of this program and we are blessed by the students.”

With the show days away, the actors will take their places and the lights will come up.  After four shows, they will take their final bows and the lights will go down.  Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to see 40 years of St. Ambrose University’s Theatre Department at work on Death of a Salesman.

Alumni Refocus

Name:  Erick Clark Holloway
Hometown:  LeClaire, IA
Education:  BA in Theatre from SAU, 2000
Previous Productions Include: 
Theatre - Vince in Buried Child, Pale in Burn This, Nelson in We Interrupt this Program, Phillip in The Lion in Winter, and Damis in Tartuffe.
Films Breathe (DBC Films), Love Thy Neighbor (Kats Entertainment),             Scammers (Z-Man Productions), All that You Love (Albonese Cut), and Iowa             Boys (Barker Place Films).
What are you currently working on here at SAU?  “Right now I have the opportunity to come back and play Happy in Death of a Salesman.”
Why did you decide to lend your talents with us this season?  “Michael Kennedy and Dr. Corinne Johnson (SAU Theatre Faculty).”
How long have you been in the profession?  “Well I was a jock in high school at PV and it was a dare that led me to the audition of Biloxi Blues, my junior year.  I was cast as Eugene and have been doing theatre and film ever since.”
What compels you about theatre?  “The difference I find between film and theatre is the sort of Zen you experience from a stage performance.  I know that I had a good performance when I barely remember having performed.  You don’t get that on camera.”
When approaching a project, how do you begin?  “I read the play about 4 or 5 times.  Then I usually research at the library and start to consider important facts about the character.  The one thing I stay away from is seeing the performance done by other actors on film or stage while I am in the middle of the process.”
What makes an artist?  “I believe a true artist is found when they reach the middle ground between “absolute entertainment” and “absolute art.”  It’s an accomplishment to entertain an audience and truly enlighten them at the same time.”
What is your favorite memory of SAU?  “Whenever I had a struggle, be it with character or personal issues, I could walk into Dr. J’s (Dr. Corinne Johnson, theatre professor) office and talk.  I miss the ability to be able to do that anytime of the week.”
Favorite project?  “I have three; Directing True West, acting in Burn This, and acting in Buried Child.”
Favorite quote?  “You can never step in the same stream twice.”  -Heraclites
Favorite word?  “Cigarette.”
Least Favorite word?  “Bus.”
If Heaven exists, what would you like God to say?  “Welcome to the jungle baby!”

SUMMER WORK SUCCESS

This summer, students involved with the St. Ambrose Theatre Department enthused audiences on the stage.  A few dazzled patrons in the Quad Cities, while others stretched their acting legs at theatres around the country.

Junior Scott Peake ventured to Kutztown, Pennsylvania, where he performed in a 4-week production of Annie at Blatt’s Dinner Theatre.  Peake was called about the opportunity in the second week of May.  “I didn’t decide to take the job right away,” Peake explained.  “I am glad I decided to go.”  He enjoyed the performances, and says, “doing a long run lets you make up the mistakes that happen in the beginning.  It was a lot of fun.”

Five SAU students went north for the summer to work at Theatre L’Homme Dieu in Alexandria, Minnesota.  While recent graduate Jessica Rairdin-Hale spent her days managing the theatre’s box office, four others were members of the student company.  Senior Matt Erkel, Dan Rairdin-Hale (’04), Senior Daniel Sheridan, and Junior Jenny Stodd worked building sets, hanging lights, and working backstage when they weren’t performing in Grease and “Alice In Wonderland.”  “The greatest part of theatre besides performing is the people you meet,” Stodd commented.  “I learned so much just from being around other actors from other universities.”  Sheridan claimed that “working at L’Homme Dieu was one of the most intense processes I’ve ever been through.”  Though the days were long, it was a great experience for them.

Senior Jodi Leonard, Junior Dan McGinn, and Junior Sean Pankuch stayed in the Quad Cities to perform at Quad City Music Guild.  McGinn and Pankuch suited up for the game in Damn Yankees, while McGinn joined Leonard in the ensemble of Jekyll and Hyde.  Of her experience, Leonard says, “Jekyll and Hyde is one of my favorite musicals, and it was awesome to be in it and watch it come to life.”  Although she explained that the music was challenging and the mood of the play was tricky, the play was a success.

Many other students had the opportunity to perform and work in theatre this summer.  Recent graduate Brian “Pitt” Strohm worked technically at Countryside Community Theatre in Eldridge, IA on A Chorus Line and Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?  “Pitt” is now putting in long hours as technical director of Death of A Salesman (which, if you haven’t heard, opens this Thursday!) at SAU.  Senior Allison Costello had a role in A Chorus Line, and costume shop manager Dianne Dye designed costumes for Do Black Patent Leather Shoes… and A Chorus Line.

Although these St. Ambrose students had a great time away from their own playing field, they are excited to be back on their home turf.  Stodd claims, “I was so excited to come back and tell Kris (Eitrheim) that I can build stuff now!”  It just goes to show how much they knew before they even left.  Congrats to these students on all their success!

NO ANTS AT THIS PICNIC

The school year and the theatre department started with a bang on August 30th with the annual Theatre Department Picnic held on the Allaert Auditorium Mainstage.  The students and guests also were able to hear about the events planned for the year at Galvin.  The subscription events were announced and travel abroad opportunities were discussed.  The directors for this year’s season also gave a synopsis of the show they are directing and how to get involved.  One of the more noted announcements made at the Picnic was the arrival of a special guest to the St. Ambrose campus.  On April 8th, playwright Edward Albee will be visiting the SAU campus for a question and answer session along with a workshop.  The visit is sponsored by Quad City Arts and Ambrose is working in conjunction with Augustana College on this endeavor.  The SAU Theatre Newsletter will have more to come on this story as the date approaches.

The SAU call board was also elected for this upcoming year.  The call board, consisting generally of one member from each class, serves as a liaison between the students and the faculty.  Due to unusual circumstances, this year there will be not four, but rather six call board members to better serve the students.  Therefore, your 2004-2005 call board representatives are:

    

Senior Class: Sue Brandt

            Junior Class: Jamie Booher and Scott Peake

            Sophomore Class: Kathryn Hale and Jacob Kendall

            Freshman Class: Sean Tweedale

There are still plenty of opportunities to become involved in this year’s season.  If you would like more information on how to become involved, please contact Theatre Department Chair Kris Eitrheim at 333-6255.

ALL ABOARD, MATEE
Composers Gilbert and Sullivan are well known for their operettas and this November St. Ambrose will be welcoming their work to the stage with the production of H.M.S. Pinafore.  Operetta is a new style for St. Ambrose, but one that the music and theatre departments are anxiously awaiting.  Dimitri Toscas from Los Angeles will be the guest director for this operetta, and will be guided by music director Dr. Keith Haan and assistant director Sue Brandt.  According to Haan, “operetta is a major musical theatre genre that many Ambrose students need more experience in.  Although it is a much different style than most musical theatre pieces, the show is full of tongue in cheek comedy and parody with a little melodrama thrown into the mix.”  This will surely be a show not to miss. The cast includes:

Sir Joseph Porter                                      Scott Peake
Captain Corcoran                                    Erik Hayek
Ralph Rackstrawff                                   Dan McGinn

Players @ Dawn Awaken for another Year
As the sun rises across the Galvin parking lot, a small group of St. Ambrose Theatre Students head in the back door to the Studio Theatre.  Well before the first church bell sounds on campus, they wipe their dry eyes and do some warm-up exercises before spending the next two hours expanding their understanding of theatre.  This small group of dedicated individuals is known as the SAU Players @ Dawn (P@D). 

P@D is an extracurricular theatre group founded last year by senior Daniel Sheridan and sophomore Andrew Harvey.  The intent of the small group of players is, according to the doctrine, “to grow in the art of theatre through experimentation with different workshops, methods and approaches, while honing the skills necessary for a successful and rewarding life in the arts.”

Last year, P@D spent the spring semester studying the Sanford Meisner approach to acting through a workshop book by Larry Silverberg.  Meeting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:45am till 8:45am, the group came away with knowledge not offered in traditional SAU courses.  “I learned a lot about discipline and clearing your mind onstage,” remarked Sheridan.  “It was great to get up early with extremely dedicated people to study theatre.”

Though the group this year will only meet twice a week from 7:00am till 8:45am, the opportunity will far from lessen.  “The design for the workshop allows for a little more sleep,” chuckled Harvey, P@D’s group leader for this year.  “What we are hoping to enhance are players’ knowledge of dramatic literature and the chance to improve the skill of cold readings.”

This semester, the players will be reading and discussing twelve plays from the SAU Theatre Department’s reading list (a list of plays required to be read by all theatre majors and minors).  On the first meeting of each week, the group will read a play out loud and then discuss the show at the following meeting. 

While the group has already been selected for this semester, there is a chance for late entry.  Members of the group are not required to be theatre majors or minors to participate.  People in the community may also apply.  Applications are required and are considered by the SAU Theatre Department’s Callboard, a group of students, one from each class, that are elected to represent the department in monthly meetings.  If you are interested in being a player, please contact Andrew Harvey at (536) 322 – 1045.  Deadline for late applications will be Wednesday the 8th at noon. 

“Last year I learned to be open to others opinions and truly listen to my peers,” added Harvey.  Players @ Dawn is really a unique opportunity and I hope people get on board.”

SO LONG, FAREWELL
Two people very devoted to the St. Ambrose Theatre Department will be away from us this fall, only to better their knowledge of theatre around the world.  Dr. Cory Johnson, Professor of Theatre, will be on sabbatical this semester in Los Angeles, California, while Junior Daniel D.P. Sheridan will study abroad in London, England.

Dr. Johnson, who will be leaving the week after she finishes portraying Linda Loman in Death of a Salesman here at SAU and returning by Christmas, is looking forward to her trip.  “I know very little about film and TV acting,” she explained, “and I feel that to better serve our students I should step up to the bat and learn a bit first hand.”  Dr. Johnson is hoping to “learn the ropes” of the camera vs. the stage, and to better advise and prepare students who desire a career in TV or film.  She will not only observe—she will be a student herself.  Dr. Johnson is planning to take two acting classes with casting directors, and also meet and shadow actors and agents in the area.  Don’t worry—although Dr. Johnson’s time will be greatly devoted to work, she plans to catch some sun by the ocean as well!

Daniel Sheridan, who is flying out to London on September 12th and returning home on December 20th, has wanted to study abroad for awhile now.  He picked London as his destination because he wanted “the opportunity to immerse myself in a culture that has a long history in theatre.  It’s a chance to see professional theatre—London’s West End is a great place to take in straight plays, both dramatic and comedic.  I learn so much from watching and find myself with little time to do that at SAU.”  Sheridan is excited to come face to face with London’s culture and theatre, as well as a chance to really be on his own.  He will not only be a regular patron to the arts while in London, but he will also be a student.  Sheridan is currently enrolled at Queen Mary University of London, and will study “Final Year Acting Shakespeare” and “Architecture in London”, as well as two other undecided courses.  As far as anxiety is concerned, Sheridan is keeping himself busy until the moment he departs.  He, like Dr. Johnson, is working on Death of a Salesman, not as an actor, but as Assistant Director.  “If I wasn’t working on that show, I would be really antsy,” he confessed. 

The St. Ambrose University Theatre Department wishes a fond farewell and safe travels to both!
