God Loves My People Best

Synopsis:
God has had it! He's tried everything-famine, pestilence, Dr. Phil. What will it take to get mankind's attention? What will it take for them to get along? Uh. . ..how about a show? This is his last idea-he traps six world leaders in one room and tells them they have to create a Broadway musical. You know, teamwork, looking out for each other, seeing other points of view, having fun? It's hilarious, it's tragic-it's a musical!

how the salts got down: a family history in parties

Synopsis:
You know the Salts, right? Theyre your neighbors down the street, your moms best friend from high school, those kids you always saw at the park on Saturdays. Theyre throwing a dance party (or three) and youre invited. Join art party as we blow out the candles on mom Mollys 25th birthday, welcome Uncle Walter back from jail, and celebrate daughter Monicas (surprise) pregnancy. Meet the guests, boogie down, and join the art party family as we celebrate the Salts magic moments by cutting loose. Booze, tunes, family: dont worry - there will be more twisting than shouting.

Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
