SAMMY, 14 and small for his age, kneels down in only his underwear, carefully drawing a target onto the inside of his window with a red marker. Satisfied, he stands and walks back to the opposing wall. He turns, stares at the target for a moment, then runs full speed toward the window, SLAMMING into it head-first and crumpling to the ground. Both hands go into the air with a victory holler. INT. GRACE'S APARTMENT BATHROOM -- EVENING Warm water shoots down from an aging shower head.

Greene Foundation Leadership support for theater at BAM provided by The SHS Foundation and The Shubert Foundation, Inc. v Directors’ Note Photo: Heidrun Lohr The Second Woman takes as its starting point the idea that emotions and identities are culturally and historically specific, and that gender identities are defined by, and produced through, emotional cul- tures and norms. Taking gender, as a particular relation to cultural power and privilege, as its focus, The Second Woman explores the ways in which gender privilege and power expresses itself through feeling. The Second Woman began as a small self-funded project. It was a high-risk endeavor as, although we could test the work with multiple participants, we couldn’t test the durational aspect of the show. There is no way to rehearse a 24-hour production that relies on audience and participants. With so many variables and unknowns, we went into our second performance with an equal amount of dread.

  • Independence Day: Resurgence
    INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE (2016) ● Rated PG ­ 13 for sequences of sci ­ fi action and destruction, and for some language ● $165,000,000 budget ● 2 hrs ● Directed by Roland Emmerich ​ ​ ● Produced by Lynn Harris, Matti Leshem, Douglas C. Merrifield ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● The film was produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures QUICK THOUGHTS ● Phil Svitek ● Marisa Serafini ● Demetri Panos ● Sara Stretton DEVELOPMENT ● The possibility of a sequel to Independence Day had long been discussed, and the film's ​ ​ producer and writer, Dean Devlin, once stated that the world's reaction to the September ​ ​ ​ 11 attacks influenced him to strongly consider making a sequel to the film ​ ● Soon after the success of the first film, 20th Century Fox paid Dean Devlin a large sum ​ ​ of money to write a script for a sequel. However, after completing the script, Devlin didn't turn in the script and instead gave the money back to the studio, as he felt the story didn't live up to the first film. It was only approximately 15 years later, that Devlin met up with Roland Emmerich to try again, having felt that they had "cracked" a story for a ​ ​ sequel ● Devlin began writing an outline for a script with Emmerich, but in May 2004, Emmerich said he and Devlin had attempted to "figure out a way how to continue the story", but that this ultimately did not work, and the pair abandoned the idea ● In October 2009, Emmerich said he once again had plans for a sequel, and had since considered the idea of making two sequels to form a trilogy ● On June 24, 2011, Devlin confirmed that he and Emmerich had found an idea for the sequels and had written a treatment for it ● In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's ​ ​ refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels ● Emmerich, however, made assurances that the films would be shot back­to­back, ​ ​ regardless of Smith's involvement ○ Resurgence filmmakers were reported to be preparing versions of the film both ​ with and without Will Smith.
