Review includes songs of short-lived shows
Musical hits to be presented at Liberty Hall
By James J. Reece Kansan staff writer
The latest production at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., will celebrate 73 years of musicals that failed quickly on Broadway.
"Hits From Misses," opening 8 Friday night is presented by Liberty Hall players. The production is a musical review that takes hit songs from subpar musicals and presents them in chronological order while narrators tell about each musical.
tour about Charles. "The musicals never made it, but the songs did," said producer Charles Oldfather, professor emeritus of law, one of two narrators of the review. "They're songs from, as Cole Porter used to say, 'back when writing musicals was fun.'"
The review also will play Saturday and May 14 and 15. All shows will stay
a trip. The 100 or so songs all outshined the dozens of Broadway musicals in which they originated, said Kip Grosshans, personnel director for student housing, who co-directs and sings in the review. But not all of the musicals were unknown Broadway short-runners.
sometimes.
"Most people don't realize that 'Porgy and Bess', when it was first produced in 1935, was a complete failure." Grosshans said. "George Gershwin died thinking it was a failure."
at 8 p.m.
Grosshans said "Porgy and Bess" had been revived in 1955.
But he said other notable songwriters like Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Irving Berlin and Stephen Sondheim also would be represented by songs that outlasted their musicals.
their musicals.
The revival will be sung by six people. The audience will be a jazz trio of piano, bass and drum. Songs from "Shine on Harvest Moon," from the 1908 musical "Zeigfeld Folles" are the oldest in the review, while the most recent come from Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along," which left
Broadway in 1981 after nine performances.
Other songs come from musicals written around stars, like Lucille Ball's 1960 performance in "Wildcat" and Al Jolson's "Bombo," a 1921 bomb.
"It was a musical disaster." Grosshans said. But it produced songs like 'April Showers' and 'California Here I Come.'
Harry Parker, director of theater in the division of communication and theater arts at Emporia State University, said he had co-written the review in 1982 with Lyle Dye.
In a sense, the show is a modern cavalcade of American music," Parker said. "The shows in the teens and 20% were very different. Frequently, the songs were far more important than the story. Probably equally important were the stars."
He said that while most of the musicals were forgettable, the songs still were great.
And if you are knowledgeable about songs in this century, you will recognize three-fourths of them," he said.
Your Q. & A. about Student Financial Assistance
Q. What is financial aid?
A. Financial aid is money available to you and your family to help pay for educational expenses. Its purpose is to supplement, not replace, the amount you and your family pay to meet your total educational expenses.
Q. How do I know what my "eligibility" figure will be? What does my EFC mean?
A. The Federal Government calculates your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) by using a formula established by Congress. Your EFC is based on the information you entered on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFS). Your EFC will be the same no matter where you attend college because the same formula is used by all schools throughout the nation. After the University of Kansas determines the total cost of education (or budget) for you, the EFC is subtracted from this amount and the result is your "need" figure. For example:
Cost of Education $8000
Minus EFC - 2000
Financial Aid Eligibility $6000
Q. What is the difference between grants and loans?
If the cost of education is $8000 and your EFC is $2000, you will be eligible for $6000 in need-based financial aid. Your financial eligibility could be met with a financial aid package that includes federal grants, state and institutional grants, loans, and work-study. The earlier you apply, the more likely your entire need will be met.
Q. What is the difference between grants and loans:
A. Grants are funds that do not have to be repaid. Loans are funds you borrow for college at low interest rates. Most loans are deferred while in school, and the repayment begins after you finish college. Scholarships are funds that do not have to be repaid. They are given to students who excel in academic areas, activities, sports, or who have financial "eligibility." Work-study jobs allow you to earn money rather than borrowing it, and you gain valuable work experience. This award allows you to work 10-20 hours per week.
Q. If I didn't qualify for financial aid last year, should I still apply?
A. Yes! Even though the priority deadline of March 1st is past, you should still apply for financial assistance. Congress has changed the federal needs analysis formula, and this will make some students eligible in the 1993-1994 academic year that were ineligible in 1992-1993.
Q. Ive heard there are changes in the Federal Pell Grant eligibility for the 1993-1994 academic year. What does this mean to me?
1993-1994 academic year. What does this mean to me?
A. Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965 took place in July, 1992.
This reauthorization set the maximum Federal Pell Grant limit at $2300, and the minimum at $400. Even though the Federal Pell Grant limit was reduced slightly, there is added eligibility for more students to be able to obtain low interest loans.
Q. What type of low interest loans are available to financial aid applicants? A. In addition to the regular Federal Stafford Loan, a new Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is now available to all students regardless of income levels. The annual limits available under the Federal Stafford and Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan programs have also changed:
$2625 for first year students
$3500 for second year students
$5500 for remaining undergraduate students
$8500 for graduate/professional students (after 10/1/93)
If you do not borrow the annual limits under the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, you may be eligible to borrow these amounts under the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program.
Q. How do I know if I will receive the Federal Pell Grant or low interest loans? A. The information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be forwarded to the KU Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). The OSFA will send you an Award Notification Letter that will list the financial aid programs that you are eligible for.
Q. What if my parents want to borrow for me?
Q. What if my parents want to borrow for me?
A. You must be a dependent student for financial aid purposes for your parents to borrow through the Federal PLUS Loan program. The parent loan allows one of your parents to borrow up to the cost of your education minus any other financial aid you may receive. Previously,parents could only borrow $4000 per academic year.
