The War of Art. I've Recently Come to Understand That Producing New Plays Is Not Unlike Preparing for Battle. I Visited Winsto The War of Art. I’ve recently come to understand that producing New Plays is not unlike preparing for battle. I visited Winston Churchill’s war room in London a few weeks ago and found myself fascinated by the planning and precision needed to mount a successful engagement. I’m not saying we see audiences as the enemy, or that Skylight is in any way going to assault you, instead our hope is that you’ll laugh and think a little, but that’s the extent of our trying to conquer you. Back to preparing for theatrical battle: Our infantry is comprised of the actors and crew; our generals are the directors and designers. All have trained long and hard and some have done numerous tours of duty with us. Last, and most important, are the secret weapons we use to achieve victory… the writer’s words. In Skylight’s case, our weapons have not been “field tested”, instead our entire arsenal is being unveiled to you for the first time. If we have all done our jobs right, if our maps and strategies are correct, we will be victorious tonight, tomorrow, and at each performance. In our battle scenario, no combatants will be harmed, no prisoners taken -- instead hearts and minds will grow larger, more thoughtful, and perhaps more compassionate to each other. This is a war worth fighting.

  • Other Desert Cities” Show Photos by Taylor Sanders
    Next on our stage: CALENDAR GIRLS IDEATION FRANKENSTEIN NOV. 17-DEC. 18 JAN. 19-FEB. 19 MARCH 23-APRIL 23 HIGHLIGHTS Lyman (Jeff Kramer) comforts daughter Brooke (Lauren Tothero), whose tell- all memoir is stirring up major family drama, as Brooke’s mother Polly (Mary Gibboney) looks on. All “Other Desert Cities” show photos by Taylor Sanders. A companion guide to Other Desert Cities By Jon Robin Baitz Sept. 22-Oct. 23, 2016 Synopsis The Wyeth family is home for the holidays on Christmas Eve 2004. But seasonal cheer quickly dissolves when daughter Brooke announces she is publishing a memoir that dredges up a tragic event from the family’s past, a wound no one else wants reopened. Soon, political differences, all-but- forgotten slights and painful memories become weapons in an unforgettable war of wit and words that threatens to shatter the family. Smart, powerful and surprisingly funny, Other Desert Cities was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. Characters Brooke Wyeth (Lauren Tothero): Described in the script as “an attractive and dry woman,” Brooke left the West Coast years ago to live the writer’s life in New York. Leery of NYC in these post-9/11 times, her parents Polly and Lyman are not thrilled about this. Polly Wyeth (Mary Gibboney): “Elegant and forthright and whip-smart,” says the script. Polly and Lyman also hold very different political beliefs than their liberal children. We’re talking buddies with the Reagans. Lyman Wyeth (Jeff Kramer): “Oak-like … sturdy in the way of old Californians of Silda (Karen DeHart) enjoys some well-deserved laughs with nephew Trip (Sean Okuniewicz) in the a particular age.” Lyman has a warm midst of a, shall we say, difficult family Christmas.

  • The New Yorker
    Kindle Edition, 2015 © The New Yorker COMMENT SEARCH AND RESCUE BY PHILIP GOUREVITCH On the evening of May 22, 1988, a hundred and ten Vietnamese men, women, and children huddled aboard a leaky forty-five-foot junk bound for Malaysia. For the price of an ounce of gold each—the traffickers’ fee for orchestrating the escape—they became boat people, joining the million or so others who had taken their chances on the South China Sea to flee Vietnam after the Communist takeover. No one knows how many of them died, but estimates rose as high as one in three. The group on the junk were told that their voyage would take four or five days, but on the third day the engine quit working. For the next two weeks, they drifted, while dozens of ships passed them by. They ran out of food and potable water, and some of them died. Then an American warship appeared, the U.S.S. Dubuque, under the command of Captain Alexander Balian, who stopped to inspect the boat and to give its occupants tinned meat, water, and a map. The rations didn’t last long. The nearest land was the Philippines, more than two hundred miles away, and it took eighteen days to get there. By then, only fifty-two of the boat people were left alive to tell how they had made it—by eating their dead shipmates. It was an extraordinary story, and it had an extraordinary consequence: Captain Balian, a much decorated Vietnam War veteran, was relieved of his command and court- martialled, for failing to offer adequate assistance to the passengers.
