RENT Program ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember the first time you were inspired by a performance? The first time that your eyes opened just a little bit wider to try to capture and record everything you were seeing? Maybe it was your first Broadway show, or the first film that really grabbed you. Maybe it was as simple as a third-grade performance. It’s hard to forget that initial sense of wonder and sudden realization that the world might just contain magic . This is the sort of experience the 2Cents Theatre Group is trying to create. Classic performances are hard to define, but easy to spot. Our Goal is to pay homage and respect to the classics, while simultaneously adding our own unique 2 Cents to create a free-standing performance piece that will bemuse, inform, and inspire. 2¢ Theatre Group is in residence at the Hudson Theatre, at 6539 Santa Monica Boulevard.

Company Film by Anderson William THERE WILL BE ONE 15-MINUTE INTERMISSION A Note About the Plot of Rent Benny is Mark and Roger's former roommate. With the help of his new wealthy father-in-law, Benny has bought the building in which Mark and Roger live, and the lot next door that is inhabited by a group of homeless people. Benny wants to build a high-tech cyber-arts studio on the property. Toward this end, he plans to clear the homeless from the lot and evict all the tenants from the building, including Mark and Roger. Mark's former lover, Maureen, schedules a performance protest of Benny's scheme for midnight on Christmas Eve. Benny offers a deal to Mark and Roger: If they convince Maureen to stop her protest, they can stay in the building rent free. At the end of Act I, Maureen stages her performance. A riot erupts in the lot, which Mark videotapes. Then Benny padlocks the building, locking out all the tenants. Act II begins on New Year's Eve as Mark, Rober and friends attempt to break back into the building. The rest of the act follows the events of the year.

  • Introduction: the Man Who Had Three Lives
    Cambridge University Press 0521834554 - The Cambridge Companion to Edward Albee Edited by Stephen Bottoms Excerpt More information 1 STEPHEN BOTTOMS Introduction: The man who had three lives It is now more than forty years since Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? – the play for which he is still best known – gave him his first Broad- way hit and propelled him into the front rank of American playwrights. Today, he is frequently listed alongside Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller as one of the nation’s great (white, male) dramatists of the twentieth century. Other candidates for that shortlist have appeared since (David Mamet, perhaps Sam Shepard, Tony Kushner), but these writers, operating primarily in the decentered, post-1960s world of off-Broadway and regional theatre, have never been Broadway mainstays in the way their predecessors were. Thus Albee, who hit Broadway just before Broadway’s preeminence as a launching pad for serious drama began seriously to be ques- tioned, has for many years tended to be seen as “the last of the line,” and, consequently, as a figure not only of the establishment, but also of the past. In a fragmented, postmodern theatre culture full of young pretenders and com- peting, multicultural voices, it is all too easy to forget that the somewhat patrician figure of Edward Albee was himself once a controversial young iconoclast, and indeed that, throughout his long career, he has consistently refused to do what is expected of him – and has the sling and arrow scars to prove it. Albee’s somewhat paradoxical position in American culture was perhaps summed up by the Kennedy Center’s honors ceremony of 1996, at which he was lauded by (the perhaps equally paradoxical) President Clinton: “Tonight our nation – born in rebellion – pays tribute to you, Edward Albee.

NEW CATALOGUE 08-09.qxd 8/1/2008 2:50 PM Page 2 Dramatists Play Service, Inc. A Letter from the President Fall 2008 Dear Subscriber, This year there is an important change in our annual printed catalogue. We have decided to discontinue including full descriptions of all the plays we represent, which now number over 3,300, and instead limit full descriptions to our new acquisitions. Our new catalogue format will still contain listings of all our titles and authors, but to view descriptions of all of our plays you only have to visit our website at www.dramatists.com. We decided to make this change because less than two percent of the thousands of applications we receive each year now arrive via mail or fax. We receive an overwhelming 98 percent of applications through the online forms found on our website. We are extremely pleased about this development, as we believe ours is the best website of its kind on the Internet, and it has long been our goal to make the application process as efficient and easy as possible for you. On the website the majority of applications are approved and licensed within minutes. This translates to an enormous savings of time and money for everyone, and it also saves on paper, helping us to reduce our environmental footprint.

WHICH WAS RECENTLY PRESENTED AT ARENA STAGE AT THE MEAD CENTER FOR AMERICAN THEATER TO OPEN ON BROADWAY FALL 2012 WITH ORIGINAL COMPANY *** Directed by Pam MacKinnon, and featuring Steppenwolf ensemble members Tracy Letts and Amy Morton with Carrie Coon and Madison Dirks, the production will open exactly 50 years after of the original Broadway production *** (Washington, D.C.) On the heels of the April 24 conclusion of the two-month Arena Stage Edward Albee festival comes the news that the celebration of our greatest living playwright, Edward Albee, will continue when Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s critically acclaimed production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opens on Broadway Saturday, October 13, 2012—exactly 50 years to the date after the play’s original Broadway opening Saturday, October 13, 1962. It will feature the original Steppenwolf cast seen at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater (February 25 – April 10)—Tracy Letts, Amy Morton, Carrie Coon and Madison Dirks under the direction of Pam MacKinnon. "It is wonderful that Arena Stage could play a role in bringing Steppenwolf Theatre Company together with Edward Albee, an incomparable giant in American playwriting," shares Arena Stage Artistic Director Molly Smith. "From the day Pam MacKinnon discussed with us her idea to cast Tracy and Amy in this epic production, we knew this Virginia Woolf was meant to be something special.
