Welcome to the dramaturgical research blog!

In the fall of 2008, San Diego State University's theatre department produced an adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms. This blog served as a source of dramaturgical information for the cast, crew, and University students attending the show. Each post focuses on research relevant to our adaptation, the reasons why we did the things we did, and any other answers to questions presented by the cast and crew.

Please explore the Blog Archive and Labels sections in the column to the right for specific topics,
because as with any blog the posts are ordered from newest to oldest
(as you scroll down, you will first see the aftermath of the production.)

Thank you for visiting, and feel free to email me with any questions/comments
about this eco-friendly dramaturgy blog! JoanMarieHurwit@gmail.com

Let's Party

I got this message in an email from Patty Hite, our assistant director:
"Randy would like a picture of a painting from the 1960s era of an African-American party scene... like the painting they had on the show Good Times... Randy would like to show this as an example to the cast..."

This first picture is the desired one (hey-oh!), but I found and included these additional ones that can add to the mood, in spirit and music, of the party scene in the play.
