about meredith willson

meredith willson was born in 1902 in Mason City, Iowa. He learned to play the flute as a child and began playing semi-professionally while still in high school. After high school he left Iowa to study at the Damrosch Institute of Musical Art (later the Juilliard School), receiving flute instruction from Georges Barrere, the world-renowned flutist. While still attending the Institute, he was hired as principle flutist and piccolo player for the John Philip Sousa Band. He later joined the New York Philharmonic Orchestra where he was

first flutist. He became musical director for various radio programs throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, including Tallulah Bankhead’s program, The Big Show, for which he wrote the hit song “May The Lord Bless and Keep You.” He composed the scores for the movies The Great Dictator and The Little Foxes, as well as symphonic, band, and choral works, including The Jervis Bay: Symphonic Variations on an American Theme and Anthem of the Atomic Age. Willson wrote three Broadway musicals: The Music Man, his first and most successful; The Unsinkable Molly Brown (music and lyrics), and Here’s Love (book, music and lyrics). As an author he has published two autobiographical works (And There I Stood with My Piccolo and Eggs I Have Laid), one novel (Who Did What to Fedalia) and a memoir about the making of The Music Man (But He Doesn’t Know the Territory).

in appreCiation: george baCon

We wish George Bacon a happy retirement as he returns to his home state of Wisconsin to help run his family’s internationally renowned iris-growing business. His sharp aesthetic eye has benefited our audiences for over twenty years, scrutinizing every outfit leaving the costume shop. His attention to detail has helped ensure, for example, that the hems of every costume in the ensemble are perfectly aligned or that the construction techniques of the costume match the time period of the character (No apparent zippers in 18th century costumes!).

George received his MFA in Costume Design from the Department of Theatre & Drama in 1995, and joined University Productions (the producing unit of the SMTD) shortly afterwards as a colleague, serving as Associate Costume Shop Manager and Adjunct Lecturer in Theatre. He arrived at U-M with a wealth of costuming experience earned since his undergraduate graduation in 1980, having worked as a free-lance cutter/draper & tailor, and then running the costume shop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His specialty became men’s tailoring, with a combination of speed and skill that has always astonished every guest designer when first introduced

to George’s work. George’s knowledge of the thousands of costumes in our stock is encyclopedic — he can see a costume and then name the character and actor who wore it.

As a teacher, many design students remember him fondly and respectfully for teaching them pattern-making and construction techniques. Since few costuming students arrive at college these days with basic sewing skills, getting the students to a high level of expertise is a demanding experience.

Not only a superb artisan & teacher, George used his MFA design knowledge to design costumes for some of the most memorable and imaginative productions created by the school: Julius Caesar in Egypt, Les Misérables, Crazy for You, 42nd Street (1995 & 2009), Carousel, Seussical, Jesus Christ Superstar, Children of Eden, Parade, Of Thee I Sing, West Side Story, Dancing at Lughnasa, Sunday in the Park with George, Major Barbara, Quilt, and Brigadoon. A small sampling of his beautiful designs and craftsmanship is exhibited in the Power Center lobby.

The quality that I most admire is George’s ability to be creative in the face of limited resources, most recently with his costumes for Cleopatra in Julius Caesar, which truly made her the most beautiful woman in the world. He has always cared deeply about creating memorable theatrical experiences for everyone. We wish him all of our best, but not farewell, as we hope that he will have the time between planting cycles to design more unforgettable costumes for us. — Jeffrey Kuras, Director, University Productions

This past summer, the University of Michigan continued ongoing initiatives to keep our beloved performance halls in prime condition. The goal was to maintain the original vision of these architecturally significant buildings while upgrading their infrastructure to meet contemporary life-safety considerations. Updates to these spaces included:

Rackham AuditoriumAfter a study determined the mysterious causes of paint flaking from the decorative ceiling, conservators researched original paint colors, creating new stencils, and restored the currently damaged areas.

Lydia Mendelssohn TheatreImprovements include new LED aisle lights, new handrails in the balcony, enlarged barrier-free seating, and backstage safety improvements.

Power CenterThe seats received new fabric, foam, springs, and arm rests. New LED aisle lights were added, as well as handrails to both sides of the aisles. Barrier-free seating areas in the theatre were enlarged, and the lobby level barrier-free restrooms were renovated. Additional work included repainting the main lobby, selected refurbishment in the lower level restrooms,

replacement of galvanized piping, and theatrical lighting safety improvements.

We thank the following individuals and groups for helping to maintain the rich cultural life of Ann Arbor by their exceptional assistance and expertise:

President Emerita Mary Sue ColemanOffice of the Associate Vice President for Facilities and Operations, Henry Baier,

including: Architects Doug Hanna, Mark Klein, Michelle Smay; Interior Designer Sandra Richter; Construction Managers Eric Mutrynowski, John Hetrick; Mechanical

Engineer Rosie Hood; Custodial Supervisor Craig Hartley and his crew; Smith Group JJR (Tricia Beck, Leland Curtis, Andrew Varilone); Commercial Contracting Corporation (David Gaggos, Tony Haag, Mike Helm and their

steelworkers Floyd DeVoe, Terrance Dortch, Brian Hewitt, Norm Luck); John Canning & Company; David Rosenburg; Theatre Projects Consultants;

American Seating Company; Barry LaRue, Shannon Rice, & Dianne Widzinski, SMTD; and many specialized construction workers.

FRIENDS OF MUSICAL THEATRE supports the Department of Musical Theatre by providing vital discretionary support for scholarships and hosting artists to work with U-M students. Additionally, the annual Senior Showcase in NYC, a crucial component for introducing the senior MT class to industry professionals, is made possible by donations from Friends of Musical Theatre.

The Department of Musical Theatre counts on annual gifts from Friends members to maintain the high caliber of educational enrichment each year. Gifts of any size are welcome. The U-M fiscal year is counted July 1 to June 30, so renewed support each year is vital to keeping your Friends of Musical Theatre membership current.

The benefits of joining Friends of Musical Theatre include a priority ticket purchasing period for SMTD productions; invitations to musical theatre events, including the Fall Welcome Back reception and Lost in Ann Arbor cabaret; recognition in the main stage production program; and Department of Musical Theatre email updates. The greatest benefit is playing a major role in the education, enrichment, and success of the musical theatre students.
