Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 43RD SEASON CONTINUES WITH RED The life of painter Mark Rothko inspired this 6-time Tony Award© winner. Stephen Caffrey and John Ford-Dunker star as Rothko and his young protégé. Geva partners with Memorial Art Gallery, which has Rothko painting on display in honor of this production. Rochester, N.Y., September 29, 2015 – The enthralling, Tony Award-winning drama inspired by the life of artist Mark Rothko continues the 2015-2016 ESL Wilson Stage Series as Geva Theatre Center presents Red by John Logan and directed by Skip Greer in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from October 20 through November 15. At the height of his career, famed abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko struggles with a series of grand-scale paintings for New York’s Four Seasons restaurant. When his new assistant challenges his artistic integrity, Rothko must confront his personal demons or be crushed by the ever-changing art world he helped create. An electrifying, intellectually riveting and visceral battle of wills, and the winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Play. Born Marcus Rotkovitch in Latvia, then part of the Russian Empire, Mark Rothko immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of ten, settling in Portland, Oregon. A gifted student, Rothko attended Yale University on scholarship from 1921-23, but disillusioned by the social milieu and financial hardship, he dropped out and moved to New York to "bum around and starve a bit." A chance invitation from a friend brought him to a drawing class at the Art Students League where he discovered his love of art. He took two classes there but was otherwise self-taught. Rothko painted in a figurative style for nearly twenty years, his portraits and depictions of urban life baring the soul of those living through The Great Depression in New York. The war years brought with it an influx of European surrealists, influencing most of the New York painters, among them Rothko, to take on a neo-surrealist style. Rothko experimented with mythic and symbolic painting for five years before moving to pure abstraction in the mid 1940s and ultimately to his signature style of two or three rectangles floating in fields of saturated color in 1949. Beginning in the early 1950s Rothko was heralded, along with Jackson Pollock, Willem deKooning, Franz Kline and others, as the standard bearers of the New American Painting - a truly American art that was not simply a derivative of European styles. By the late 1950s, Rothko was a celebrated (if not wealthy) artist, winning him three mural commissions that would dominate the latter part of his career. Only in the last of these, The Rothko Chapel in Houston was he able to realize his dream of a truly contemplative environment in which to interact deeply with his artwork. Red presents a fictionalized account of Rothko’s frustrated first attempt to create such a space in New York’s Four Season’s restaurant. Rothko sought to create art that was timeless; paintings that expressed basic human concerns and emotions that remain constant not merely across decades but across generations and epochs. He looked to communicate with his viewer at the most elemental level and through his artwork, have a conversation that was intense, personal and, above all, honest. In addition to Red, playwright John Logan is the author of more than a dozen other plays including Never the Sinner and Hauptmann. His adaptation of Ibsen’s The Master Builder premiered on London’s West End in 2003. He is a prolific screenwriter and had three movies released in 2011: Hugo, Coriolanus and Rango. He is one of the screenwriters for the two most recent James Bond films, Skyfall and Spectre, and he has written the screenplay for Genius, starring Colin Firth and Jude Law, due to be released in 2016. Previous film work includes Sweeney Todd (Golden Globe award); The Aviator (Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and WGA nominations); Gladiator (Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and WGA nominations); The Last Samurai; Any Given Sunday; and RKO 281 (WGA award, Emmy nomination). First produced by London’s Donmar Warehouse in December 2009, Red was directed by Michael Grandage and starred Al Molina as Rothko and Eddie Redmayne as his assistant, Ken. The production, along with its two actors, transferred to Broadway’s Golden Theatre in March 2010 where it ran for a limited engagement. It was nominated for seven Tony Awards and won six (the most of any play that season) including Best Play. Red also garnered the 2010 Drama League and Drama Desk Awards. Making their Geva Theatre Center debuts in Red are Stephen Caffrey as Mark Rothko and John Ford-Dunker as his protégé, Ken.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

Rochester, N.Y., December 27, 2019 – Geva Theatre Center presents Slow Food, by Wendy MacLeod and directed by Skip Greer, in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from January 14 through February 9. Peter and Irene’s anniversary celebration in Palm Springs is off to a rocky start, but they are looking forward to a nice meal in a local restaurant.

Wendy MacLeod’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey. Her other plays include Sin (The Goodman, Second Stage), Schoolgirl Figure (The Goodman Theatre), The Water Children and Juvenilia (Playwrights Horizons), and Things Being What They Are (Seattle Repertory Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre).

    HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007

    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

    PAUL J BRADY Writer/Director/Producer PAUL BRADY Writer/Director/Producer A BIT ABOUT ME I come from a traditional design background, drawing and sketching. I got into this business with my first job working at Icon Productions. I was handed a script by producer Steve McEevety (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ) and asked to come up with the look and feel of the picture. And that was my start. Ever since then I knew the film business is where I wanted spend my life working. Everyone wants to write and direct but I knew this wasn’t going to happen right away, so I started work in the art department in film and TV. Here, I figured it was a good place to start in finding out how the cogs of the film machine worked. It also gave me a chance to work in an area that was second nature to me. I haven’t had any formal training in college so the film set became my college. Learning from people who’ve been in the business all their lives. I’ve been very fortunate working on some of the greatest movies and TV shows, Penny Dreadful, Ripper Street, Calvary and Brookyln among others. Janey Mary was my first successful film as a writer and director adaptating the script from the best loved short story. It was a big production working with some of the most experienced industry professionals. It went on to win 5 top awards, including the Hollywood Discovery Award at the Hollywood Film Festival. Since then I’ve gone on to write and direct short films, documentaries and commericals, later writing feature films ‘Campus Caller’ and ‘Before I Wake’ for Odyssey Media.
