We’ve been planning this year-long celebration of the Rep’s astonishing five decade run in Kansas City for ages, and I am incredibly excited to honor the legacy of the figures in our history who had the foresight, generosity, genius, and force of will to create one of the nation’s great regional theaters. OUR TOWN, as director David Cromer has told me, is a love letter to our town. Truly the DNA of our company is pulsing through this production — an internationally renowned director, a project of enormous scope and vision, 19 brilliant actors who make their homes in our town, incredibly talented visiting artists, students and faculty from UMKC Theatre — truly everything Dr. Mac envisioned is exemplified by this stunning, deeply original work that both honors Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece and reminds us why OUR TOWN endures as a shatteringly powerful work of art. I can’t imagine a better way to honor this landmark anniversary season. As I write this, however, I am still reeling from the news that our beloved friend WILLIAM C. NELSON, Rep board leader and chairman for many years, passed away just before rehearsals began. Bill was a force to be reckoned with, and his vision, passion, & OUR WORLD 10 and determination helped transform the Rep into a 11 leading national theater.

And we also most fortunately know that it really doesn’t matter. —Raymond Chandler, letter to Charles Morton, October 9, 1950 Introduction: First Goodbyes Jack Nicholson, a boy, could never forget sitting at the bar with John J. Nicholson, Jack’s namesake and maybe even his father, a soft little dapper Irishman in glasses. He kept neatly combed what was left of his red hair and had long ago separated from Jack’s mother, their high school romance gone the way of any available drink. They told Jack that John had once been a great ballplayer and that he decorated store windows, all five Steinbachs in Asbury Park, though the only place Jack ever saw this man was in the bar, day-drinking apricot brandy and Hennessy, shot after shot, quietly waiting for the mercy to kick in.

  • THE OTHER SIDE of the WIND; a LOST MOTHER, a MAVERICK, ROUGH MAGIC and a MIRROR: a PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE on the CINEMA of ORSON WELLES by Jack Schwartz
    Schwartz, J. (2019). The Other Side of the Wind…A psychoanalytic perspective on the cinema of Orson Welles. MindConsiliums, 19(8), 1-25. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND; A LOST MOTHER, A MAVERICK, ROUGH MAGIC AND A MIRROR: A PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE CINEMA OF ORSON WELLES By Jack Schwartz ABSTRACT Arguably, Orson Welles is considered America’s most artistic and influential filmmaker from the golden era of American movies, even though most people are only familiar with his first feature, Citizen Kane (1941). Any film buff can easily recognize his signature camera work, his use of lighting and overlapping dialogue, along with so many cinematic nuisances that define his artistry. Despite being on the “pantheon” (Sarris, 1969) of American directors, he never established any real sustaining commercial success. Even though he leaves behind many pieces of a giant beautiful cinematic puzzle, Welles will always be considered one of the greats. Prompted by Welles’ posthumously restored last feature The Other Side of the Wind (2018), the time is ripe for a psychoanalytic re-evaluation of Welles’ cinematic oeuvre, linking the artist’s often tumultuous creative journey to the dynamic structure of Welles’ early and later childhood experiences through the frame of his final film. INTRODUCTION From early in its invention, movies have offered the gift of escaping the grind of daily life, even when movies are sometimes about the grind of daily life. Movies move us, confront us, entertain us, break our hearts, help mend our broken hearts, teach us things, give us a place to practice empathy or express anger and point to injustice.
