  • Drama Book Shop Became an Independent Store in 1923
    SAVORING THE CLASSICAL TRADITION IN DRAMA ENGAGING PRESENTATIONS BY THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD I N P R O U D COLLABORATION WIT H THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB THE PLAYERS, NEW YORK CITY THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION SALUTING A UNIQUE INSTITUTION ♦ Monday, November 26 Founded in 1917 by the Drama League, the Drama Book Shop became an independent store in 1923. Since 2001 it has been located on West 40th Street, where it provides a variety of services to the actors, directors, producers, and other theatre professionals who work both on and off Broadway. Many of its employees THE PLAYERS are young performers, and a number of them take part in 16 Gramercy Park South events at the Shop’s lovely black-box auditorium. In 2011 Manhattan the store was recognized by a Tony Award for Excellence RECEPTION 6:30, PANEL 7:00 in the Theatre . Not surprisingly, its beneficiaries (among them Admission Free playwrights Eric Bogosian, Moises Kaufman, Lin-Manuel Reservations Requested Miranda, Lynn Nottage, and Theresa Rebeck), have responded with alarm to reports that high rents may force the Shop to relocate or close. Sharing that concern, we joined The Players and such notables as actors Jim Dale, Jeffrey Hardy, and Peter Maloney, and writer Adam Gopnik to rally support for a cultural treasure. DAKIN MATTHEWS ♦ Monday, January 28 We look forward to a special evening with DAKIN MATTHEWS, a versatile artist who is now appearing in Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird. In 2015 Dakin portrayed Churchill, opposite Helen Mirren’s Queen Elizabeth II, in the NATIONAL ARTS CLUB Broadway transfer of The Audience.

Good night from New York. LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY, FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST: The Senate's top Republican has a warning for Democrats. Quit delaying, obstructing, and resisting the confirmation vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And it comes amid a new poll showing more Americans think that Supreme Court nominee is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign. Now, as you know, the FBI is currently investigating claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted several women back in the 1980s. Among them Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who testified against him last week. She says she's a hundred percent sure Kavanaugh drunkenly attacked her in high school. Kavanaugh of course denies everything. And moments ago President Trump defended his nominee at a rally in T-E-N-N-E-S-S-E-E, Tennessee. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Democrats are willing to do anything and to hurt anyone to get their way like they're doing with Judge Kavanaugh. They've been trying to destroy him since the very first second he was announced because they know that Judge Kavanaugh will follow the constitution as written.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • My Night with the Happy Hooker
    My night with the Happy Hooker She was a faded porn star. I was a struggling actor. Together we rocked Amsterdam By Kerry Shale Guardian Monday January 4, 1999 Edinburgh, 1997. I've just finished a performance of my solo show The Prince Of West End Avenue when Amelia, my demure young stage manager, appears backstage ashen-faced and trembling: 'There's a... a... lady who says she needs to speak to you. It has to be right away!' Pacing the street outside the Assembly Rooms is a fabulously upholstered grande dame with vixen eyes and gunmetal-grey hair. Her sexual energy shimmers through a rainbow-hued tent dress. An offer/demand is tendered in Dutch-accented English: 'My name is Xaviera Hollander. I am a writer. Come to Amsterdam. Stay at my house. You will perform your show in my front room for 60 people.' There is something familiar about those vixen eyes. Now I remember! They used to crown a column in Penthouse magazine: monthly advice on every imaginable sexual permutation. This is the woman who scaled the heights of the American sex industry, who rose from novice call girl to madam of New York's best-connected brothel, who wrote the ultimate porn bestseller. I am being commanded to perform in the home of the Happy Hooker. I mumble something noncommittal and flee in a taxi. My show cannot be performed in a front room. It's a proper play in which I act out all 14 characters. I need sound, lights and a stage manager. Her offer is ridiculous.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 9, 2019 Mitchell Algus 516-639-4918 (cell) [email protected] BACKROOM SOLO by OLD MASTER OF NEW MEDIA Jan. 12 - Feb. 17 NEW YORK, NY (1/9/19) — The Mitchell Algus Gallery is pleased to announce a Backroom Solo Exhibition of Surreal to Conceptual Photo-Morphs by “Old Master of New Media,” Barbara Rosenthal. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 12th from 6-8pm. The artist will also be present in the gallery to talk with visitors on Sat., Jan. 19, 4-6pm, and the show will run through Feb. 17th. The exhibition features a selection of six 26”x40” digitally printed, manipulated distortions of full-frame analog 35mm photographs from her ongoing series Surreal Photos hung as a contiguous installation, and several 16”x20” Surreal to Conceptual Photo-Morphs: Wafting Sheafs. In each rectangularly framed work, trapezoidal straight or curving slices of dreamlike reality appear to thrust or twist or descend through space. Photographed in international locations, often at night, the subject matter — a horse, a tower, a staircase, a doorway, a church, a roof, a window, a bird — resonates with the viewer’s own psychological undercurrent. The negative space in each plays as dominant a role as the shapes and iconography. Hung contiguously, with the images at different levels within the frames, they form individual multi-block pieces. These configurations bring a musical lilt and implied narrative to her photo-based installations. continued --> Mitchell Algus Gallery 132 Delancey Street (enter on Norfolk) New York, NY 10002 cell: 516-639-4918 email: [email protected] pg.
