Although he has written material for these various groups, THE SURVIVAL OF ST. JOAN is his first major writing venture. GARY RUFFIN, 18, is the youngest Ruffin and was also the last brother to join the group, having played with his own band for four years previously. This is also, along with brother Hank, his first major musical effort. Notes On The The Croup The other two members of Ruffin, along with Hank and Gary, are middle brother Stan Ruffin on drums and Randy Bugg on bass. The group has been together for a little over a year now, but in that short time, they have appeared at the Playwrights Unit in New York, with Steppenwolf in Atlanta (their home base) and in major concerts up and down the Eastern seaboard. The Story Joan of Arc, secretly released from prison by church edict, sees another woman burn in her place. Spirited away in the care of a young farmer, she lives with him for a time until she fiees again to join the army. Scorned by soldiers and populace alike. Joan wanders alone with God, until fina lly she is raped and abandoned in the forest. While the church attempts to find her, some villagers— mistaking her for a witch— capture her and burn her at the stake. ACT I Overture ...... Survival 1. The Prison ...... Living With The Devil 2.

This newest play has been hailed by critics as the most engrossing and entertaining play that Miller has written. This is special praise when one remembers such excellent past Miller works as DEATH OF A SALESMAN, ALL M Y SONS, AFTER THE FALL, THE CRUCIBLE and A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. Jack Gilford is renowned as a comedian as well as a portrayer of dramatic roles. He exceeded a comic’s dream when he broke all precedent by becoming the first non-singer to play a major speaking role in the Metropolitan Opera production of Fledermaus. Some of his most memorable stage portrayals were in THE TENTH MAN, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, CABARET, RO MANOFF AND JULIET and A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, in which he played the role of Hysterium which he later recreated in the film version. Other film credits include Enter Laughing, Who’s -Minding The Mint, The Fixer and currently he can be seen as Doc Daneeka in the highly praised motion picture, Catch-22.

Chuck Gnys and I met some time ago and took a professional shine to each other. One of his favorite playwrights was James Lineberger and somehow they evolved trie idea of a rock opera based on St. Joan. Chuck told me about it and said he'd like to bring “ Ruffin” to New York to work with them, and could I be helpful in arranging financing for the trip. I said ‘Yes’ and did. After hearing the concert version, Chuck was convinced it was a theatre piece. So was I. But practically no one else was except James Lineberger, who went home to Decatur, Georgia and finished the libretto. By chance, I met Neal Du Brock “ The theatre has a habit of one day on my way to see a upsetting adages. For example, video tape we had made of the ‘Experience is the best teacher' does concert. He came along with me not apply because in the theatre, and joined the believers and offered you never have the same experience a production of it here at twice.
