Cindy Walker ABR, CRS, GRI 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Realtor 601-831-4505 AND INTEGRITY 662-466-2991 www.BeInTheSouth.com DAVID HAMPTON (1964 - 2003) John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation is loosely based on the story of David Hampton, who arrived in Manhattan as a teenager in 1981 and gained entry into exclusive nightclub Studio 54 by claiming to be "David Poitier", the son of actor Sidney Poitier. Impressed with the success of his own ruse and by the air of celebrity it afforded him, Hampton soon began sleeping in the apartments of several promi- nent Manhattanites (including actress Melanie Griffith and designer Calvin Klein) by introducing himself as "David Poitier" and claiming that he was a friend of their children or that his "father" Sidney Poitier was scheduled to arrive in town the following day. He also cadged free meals in New York restaurants, claiming that he had been mugged and that his "father" Sidney Poitier would pick-up his tab. Eventually, several individuals who had been duped by Hampton had him arrested and charged with burglary for entering their homes under false pretenses. Writ- er John Guare became aware of the story after an article about Hampton's subterfuge appeared in the New York Times. When Six Degrees of Separa- tion opened in the Lincoln Center Theater, Hampton, when not filing lawsuits against the author for "stealing" his fictional identity, could occasionally be found in the Lincoln Center's ticket line, pretending to patrons that he was the actor portraying "Paul Poitier" in the play and that he was running late and needed a "few extra dollars" for dinner before the performance. David Hamp- ton died in 2003 in a New York hospital from complications caused by AIDS. About the Director Bobby VanDevender is a native of Kemper County but has been a Greenwood resident for many years, and is a partner in the CPA firm of Fred T. Neely & Co. A longtime favorite GLT actor and director, Bobby ran the lights for Into the Woods and was last seen in Vintage Hitchcock. He has also appeared in South Pacific, Rumors (1992), Noises Off, Jesus Christ Superstar and I Hate Hamlet. Bobby's attention to detail and passion for directing has produced the fabulous GLT classics Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and A Streetcar Named Desire. Bobby is a past president of GLT and has served as our longtime treasurer for multiple seasons. His favorite role was as Tom Wingfield inThe Glass Menagerie. Eddie Amelung (Flan) is one of GLT’s oldest active members, having been involved since 1967 in over 60 productions. A Greenwood native and pharmacist/manager of Greenwood Downtown Drugs, Eddie is also a past president of GLT and a former and current Board member. Favorite directing experiences at GLT include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Glass Menagerie and Godspell. Top acting experiences include Noises Off, leading roles in The King and I and My Fair Lady for Indianola’s MDAA. Connie Black (Ouisa) has been gracing the GLT stage for 30 years with her musical and dramatic talents. An Inverness native, Connie is an elementary music teacher at Pillow Academy and past president of GLT. She was last seen on our stage in Into the Woods and had leading roles in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Streetcar Named Desire, Man of La Mancha, and Noises Off for GLT, and The King and I and The Sound of Music for Indianola’s MDAA. Connie and husband Mickey recently celebrated the wedding of their daughter, Molly. Drew Braswell (Hustler) couldn’t be more excited to appear in his first GLT production... with his clothes off. You might have seen him as The Jock in The Delta Players’ Columbinus (also with his clothes off) or as “Mr. Martin” in The Delta Players’ final production,The Bald Soprano. He would like to thank the cast and crew of Six Degrees for being so welcoming so late in the production. Favorite roles include “Colonel Melcott” in Black Comedy, “Eddie/Dr. Scott” in The Rocky Horror Show, and “Actor #1” in A Tuna Christmas. Paul Brown (Geoffrey) is a Greenwood native and an RN Clinical Liaison for AMG Specialty Hospital and choirmaster at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Greenwood. After graduation from Ole Miss, Paul performed opera with the Baltimore Lyric, Peabody Opera and Opera Vivente. Since returning to his hometown, Paul has amassed impressive GLT credits including acting in Noises Off, music direction for Into the Woods and directing I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. Alicia Dallas (Tess) was born in Crowley, LA but has lived in Greenwood for 25 years. A freelance Web designer, Alicia is the chairperson of GLT’s Website committee and is an active Board member. Acting work at GLT includes unforgettable roles in The Buddy Holly Story, Moon Over Buffalo, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but her favorite GLT experience was directing last season’s popular farce, Rumors, and she says she “loved being a director!” Alicia is married to David Dallas and is the mother of two boys. Mary-Holly Fleming (Elizabeth) has danced her way through a couple of GLT productions, but we are pleased to welcome her in her first speaking role! Mary-Holly was a dancer for sixteen years, which is how she became involved with GLT in the first place. Her talents were expertly displayed in her first production, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, followed a couple of years later by the equally amazing Smokey Joe’s Café. Mary-Holly is a native of Greenwood and is a student at Ole Miss, pursuing a degree in biology. Cameron Griffin (Doug) is a native and current resident of Cleveland, MS where he’s been active in the theater since 2008. For GLT, Cameron had a memorable debut in 2012’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? His most recent performance was in last season’s Rumors, where his comic timing and priceless facial expressions quickly made him an audience favorite! His “favorite role ever” was El-Fayoumy in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot for the Delta Players at DSU in 2011. Cameron is employed as a graphic designer. Marvin Haley (Woody) is a Greenwood native and a salesman at Service Auto Parts. He first appeared in 2009’s No Time for Sergeants, but he’s also done some backstage and set work for GLT. Marvin is a self-taught but accomplished guitarist, and he’s performed around the area with the same group of guys for several years; most recently this band was known as GUNSMOKE. Marvin has also performed with Nashville recording artist Odiss Kohn, and he plays for local singer Kathleen Lott. Buddy Hendricks (Dr. Fine) is a retired school psychologist who is now the co-owner of Turnrow Gallery in Greenwood. He is a native of Inverness and has been very active at Indianola’s MDAA theatre and at GLT, both as an actor and director. He was last seen at GLT as the Narrator for

SOUTH CAROLINA / CIVIL RIGHTS In this pioneering study of the long and arduous struggle for civil rights in South Carolina, journalist Claudia Smith Brinson details the lynchings, beatings, cross burn- ings, and venomous hatred that black South Carolinians endured—as well as the astonishing courage, dignity, and com- passion of those who risked their lives for equality. Through extensive research and interviews with more than 150 civil rights activists, Brinson chronicles twenty pivotal years of petitioning, picketing, boycotting, marching, and holding sit-ins. These intimate stories of courage, both heartbreaking and inspiring, shine a light on the progress achieved by nonviolent civil rights activists while also revealing white South Carolinians’ often violent resistance to change. Although significant racial dis- parities remain, the sacrifices of these brave Stories of men and women produced real progress— and hope for the future.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. THE SEVENTH ANNUAL MEDIA AND SOCIETY LECTURE Protecting the American Playwright John Weidman† I want to begin by clarifying something which is going to become stunningly clear whether I clarify it now or not. I am not an attorney. I did in fact graduate from law school. I did in fact take and pass the New York Bar Exam. But to give you a sense of how long ago that was, when I finished the exam I celebrated by picking up a six pack of Heineken and going home to watch the Watergate Hearings. I have never practiced law. But as President of the Dramatists Guild of America for the last eight years I have found myself in the middle of a number of legal collisions, the most important of which I’m going to talk about today, not from a lawyer’s perspective—although I may attempt to dazzle you with a couple of actual citations—but from the perspective of the playwrights, composers, and lyricists whose interests the Guild represents.
