Robertson Blvd. Beverly Hills, CA 90211 The professional union of * Denotes members of Actors Equity Association actors and stage managers in the United States WELCOME SKYLIGHT THEATRE COMPANY in the year 2015. Welcome, old friends and new patrons. What a year we’ve had! Success has come in many forms but none as satisfying as knowing that we’re fulfilling the new mission we embarked on just over four years ago - developing world premiere plays cut from the raw cloth of our town, our time. Now, when we look at the roster of unique and beautifully composed scripts we’ve green-lit for production in 2015, our hearts race in anticipation. The anticipation is so palpable because we know the treasure trove we’re sitting on. These brand new plays, each of which has been carefully crafted through multiple drafts and readings, include some of the best writing we’ve midwifed since hanging our shingle as Skylight Theatre Company. Writing that jumps off the page begging to be staged, to be acted, and to be paid attention to. We can’t help feeling you’ll be smitten, moved, shocked, enlightened, entertained, and that you’ll come away with racing hearts… And wagging tongues, too. Please do. Tell everybody. Skylight Theatre Company is shaking things up. We’re looking past the who, what, how and why we humans behave as we do because we want to comprehend what all this fuss is about –The fuss of living life in the 21st Century. Here now, for your enjoyment –and perhaps, for its small contribution to our evolution as a culture, for your edification—is the living record of social unrest that a handful of wonderful playwrights in a few dozen intimate theatres just like ours are helping us grapple with in this still new century of surprises. In case you’re new to this scene, intimate theatre in LA is f***ing amazing. We like to think so. We invite you to take us on. Go ahead. Sit back. Cell phones silenced. This is flesh and blood, baby. It’s places.

Everette has appeared in such hit television shows as HBO's Deadwood, Bones, NCIS, and The Newsroom. Photo by: Ed Kreiger Above: Carter Scott and Everette Wallin WHO’S WHO PRODUCTION TEAM ALLEN BARTON (Playwright) Allen Barton's 2013 play, YEARS TO THE DAY, received huge response from the Los Angeles critics, who hailed his writing as comparable to George Bernard Shaw, David Mamet, Edward Albee, and Brett Easton Ellis.

    BARBARA BAIN Born in Chicago on September 13th, Barbara Bain graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology before relocating to New York City. Once there, Bain found gainful employment as a high fashion model and explored her life-long love of dance by studying with Martha Graham, master of American modern dance. Further exploring her interest in the arts, Bain began her acting training in the private class of the most famous and respected of all acting teachers, Lee Strasberg. After a successful audition, she accepted an invitation to become a member of his legendary The Actors Studio. Bain toured with the road company of Paddy Chayefsky's Middle of the Night, a tour which landed her in Los Angeles, and not long thereafter Bain found work on some of the most popular television shows of the day. She appeared opposite Larry Hagman in United Artists' Harbormaster and with Darrin McGavin in the popular Mike Hammer series. Perhaps her first real big break came, however, when she was cast in the recurring role of Karen Wells, love interest of David Janssen, in the seminal private-eye series, Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Bain continued to work steadily, appearing in numerous television series: Tightrope, The Law and Mr. Jones, Straightaway and Adventures in Paradise. She also had the opportunity to flex her comedy skills in one of the most memorable episodes of the classic The Dick Van Dyke Show, created by Carl Reiner. In the episode "Will You Two Be My Wife," Bain turned in a hilarious performance as "Dorie-doo," a blonde bombshell with whom Van Dyke must break-up in order to marry the ever-perky Mary Tyler Moore.

He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack. John Belushi, left, and Mr. Henry in the 1978 “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Samurai Optometrist.” Fred Hermansky/NBCUniversal via Getty Images As a personality and a performer, Mr. Henry had a mild and unassuming aspect that was usually in contrast with the pungently satirical or broadly slapstick material he appeared in — and often wrote. Others in the room always seemed to make more noise. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/movies/buck-henry-dead.html 1/6 1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times Indeed, for almost 50 years he was a Zelig-like figure in American comedy, a ubiquitous if underrecognized presence not only in grand successes but also in grand failures.

Nichols, who has a sharp American wit but courtly European manners, bit his tongue. “All those ‘Mr. Success’ years would have been hard to explain to anybody if I tried,” Nichols, now sixty- eight, says. “What I really wanted to say to that envious woman was ‘Don’t worry.There’s still nothing happening in- side me. I’m not experiencing success or anything much.’ ” But feelings aren’t facts. From the moment Nichols made his name, in the late fifties, as the lanky deadpan half of the comedy team Nichols and May, he took up residence in success. As early as 1961, a letter addressed to “Famous Actor, Mike Nichols, U.S.A.” reached him. And, by the seventies, Nichols repre- sented the high-water mark in not just one but three areas of American enter- tainment. As a comedian, he improvised routines with Elaine May which are among the treasures of American humor; as a stage director, beginning in the early nce, in the early seventies, Mike sixties, he had a string of commercial hits ONichols was sitting in a commer- that made him the most successful Broad- cial jet as it took off from J.F.K.
