2019/20 Annual Report Dear Friends, 2019/20 When we think back on the 2019/20 Season at New York Theatre Workshop, we truly feel we were witness to a miracle. Seemingly overnight, COVID-19 deprived us of the ability to witness the sacred act of artistic creation together in a darkened room. And yet, our tremendous artists, staff, Trustees, supporters, and audiences came together to illuminate the power of community and need for art even – and especially – in the most dire of circumstances. There was so much to celebrate before our season was cut short: developing new pieces through residencies and workshops, building relationships with early-career artists and administrators through our Fellowships, We are uplifted deepening our relationships with theatre companies like the Safe Harbors NYC, and sharing an exciting lineup of productions crafted by a roster of extraordinary, boundary-pushing artists, including Mfoniso Udofia’s and inspired by runboyrun and In Old Age, and John Carney & Enda Walsh’s Sing Street. the determination It was truly devastating to close both Celine Song’s Endlings and Martyna Majok’s Sanctuary City early and of our community to be forced to postpone Sam Gold’s production of Clare Barron’s exciting new adaptation of Three Sisters. In the earliest days of the pandemic, we were uncertain of our own value at a time of such upheaval, but the to support the need to create space for artistry and community, to try to feed those in our midst in the face of tremendous role of the artists loss and an uncertain future eclipsed any doubt. On April 1, we began our Virtual Programming with a series of Master Classes, Fireside Chats, and Open Mic Nights – free and available to our entire community. Artists and artmaking and audiences alike rallied behind this new initiative, coming together in virtual space to maintain, expand, and in deepening our deepen our sense of community. understanding In May, we were collectively reminded of the urgent need to address a second epidemic –the country’s longstanding struggle with systemic racism. As artists, we have the power to shape the national conversation and inspiring by challenging our audiences to consider new perspectives and to look inward to grapple with uncomfortable action no matter ideas. And as a theatre, we have a responsibility to deepen that work within our community to ensure that every part of our practice reflects the values of inclusion we work to bring to the stage. We have much work to the obstacles. do together, but we are uplifted and inspired by the determination of our community to support the role of the artists and artmaking in deepening our understanding and inspiring action no matter the obstacles. The support of our community has sustained us through this crisis, allowing us to continue to expand on our work as an artistic home and incubator – a space for our visionary artists to explore boldly, to create fiercely, to plumb to the depths and push boundaries of what theatre can be. We are standing at the precipice of tremendous possibility – as an organization, as artists, and as people who aspire to be catalysts for creativity, conversation, and change – both within our own community and in the society at large. We are immeasurably grateful to our community for making that possible, and we believe that together, we can create a stronger, more inclusive industry. With immense gratitude, James C.

John Milton. Eindelijk Begin Again ook kunnen zien, Zwolle Once , een aantal jaar geleden, en Sing Street dit jaar, vallen beide in mijn rijtje met beste muziekfilms ooit gemaakt. Begin Again haalt dat niveau voor mij helaas niet. Het heeft zijn charme, maar maakte weinig indruk op me, in tegenstelling tot die andere films. De echtheid van Once, waarbij je soms niet meer kunt zien waar de fictie eindigt, ontbreekt hier. Dat is niet persé een probleem, want Sing Street heeft dat ook niet, maar voelde voor mij alsnog echter aan. Oprechter ook. Dat in beide andere films de muziek me een stuk beter ligt, valt Begin Again natuurlijk niet zozeer aan te rekenen, maar maakt onmiskenbaar veel verschil bij dit soort films.

The play deals with a family, who as part of a daily enforced ritual, re-enact a farce, written and directed by Dinny, the patriarch, a story which accounts for their exile in London, and away from their family home in Cork. Their enactment is an attempt to create a false memory, for their performance is very much at odds with the real events which provoked their exile.

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.
