    ANYTHING GOES -Sutton Foster and Joel Grey star as Reno Sweeney and Moonface Martin in Cole Porter's musical cruise across the Atlantic Ocean. BOOK OF MORMON, THE -Have they written it on golden plates? Only the creators (South Park + Avenue Q) know for sure. CHICAGO – There’s never been a better time to experience Broadway’s razzle-dazzle smash. A sensational tale of sin, corruption and all that jazz, it has everything you could want in a musical: knockout dancing, an edge-of-your-seat story, and one showstopper after another. CHINGISH - Playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) explores the cultural barriers between America and China - especially linguistic ones - in this timely new comedy. COLUMNIST, THE - David Auburn's (Proof) latest drama portrays the dilemma faced by powerful Washington columnist Joseph Alsop, who publicly hosts the Kennedy Camelot circle while keeping hidden deep parts of himself. Starring John Lithgow. DEATH OF A SALESMAN - One man and his family are caught up in the pressures and delusions of living the American Dream. Miller's play is the story of a traveling salesman whose illusions of picture-perfect business and family life cave in on him. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as the distressed salesman Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's masterpiece. Also starring Andrew Garfield and Linda Emond. END OF THE RAINBOW - It's December 1968 and Judy Garland is about to make her comeback…again. In a London hotel room with her young new fiancé at her side, Garland battles with a tornado of drugs and alcohol as she undertakes an exhausting series of concerts at the Talk of the Town to try and reclaim her crown as the greatest talent of her generation.

    Lunch by Steven Berkoff Premiering July 9, 2021 7:30PM Streaming July 9-13, 2021 Lunch By Steven Berkoff Directed by Richard Romagnoli Man Bill Army* Woman Jackie Sanders* A bench by the seaside. The present day. * member of Actors’ Equity Association, the union of professional Actors and Stage Managers 2 A Note from the Director: LUNCH is a terse, scabrous, poetic dance between A Man and A Woman. The text provides only spare biographies, enough to tweak our interest and lead to endless speculation. Do the characters have a shared history? Are they a couple? Is their encounter a contrivance, a fantasy with unanticipated consequences? Do they really know Prufrock? The production only explores these questions. In a brief 40 minutes Berkoff presents characters in mid-life, stepping out of their familiar routines to passionately and humorously engage the other in what critic Aleks Sierz has correctly named, “in-yer-face theatre,” describing certain young British writers of the ‘90’s and the millennium. Berkoff can certainly be considered one of the progenitors of this style. This is as bare knuckled as “in-yer- face” gets or --as PTP once described its work --“I only laugh when it hurts”. Hope you enjoy. Steven Berkoff was born in Stepney, London. After studying drama and mime in London and Paris, he entered a series of repertory companies and in 1968 formed the London Theatre Group. His plays and adaptations have been performed in many countries and in many languages. Among the many adaptations Berkoff has created for the stage, directed and toured, are Kafka’s Metamorphosis and The Trial, Agamemnon, and Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

    Staging the Actress

    STAGING THE ACTRESS: DRAMATIC CHARACTER AND THE PERFORMACE OF FEMALE IDENTITY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissa Lee Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Advisor Beth Kattelman Jennifer Schlueter Copyright by Melissa Lee 2014 ABSTRACT Since women first took to the professional stage, actresses have been objects of admiration and condemnation as well as desire and suspicion. Historically marginalized figures, actresses challenged notions of acceptable female behavior by, among other (more scandalous) things, earning their own income, cultivating celebrity, and being sexually autonomous. Performance entailed an economic transaction of money for services provided, inviting the sexual double meanings of female “entertainer” and “working” woman. Branding the actress a whore not only signaled her (perceived) sexual availability, but also that she was an unruly woman who lived beyond the pale. The history of the actress in the West is also complicated by the tradition of the all-male stage, which long prevented women from participating in their own dramatic representations and devalued their claim to artistry once they did. Theatrical representations of actresses necessarily engage with cultural perceptions of actresses, which historically have been paradoxical at best. In this dissertation I identify a sub-genre of drama that I call actress-plays, and using this bibliography of over 100 titles I chronicle and analyze the actress as a character type in the English-speaking theatre, arguing that dramatizations of the professional actress not only reflect (and fuel) a cultural fascination with actresses but also enact a counter- narrative to conventional constructions of femininity.
