Il possède une multi-nationale cotée en bourse, un appartement sur trois étages avenue Montaigne et une très belle femme. Ce soir- là, il est à l’apogée de sa gloire. Il marie sa fille devant un parterre de stars. C’est le symbole de son triomphe. Mais sa femme lui annonce qu’elle le quitte pour un smicard qui habite Barbès. Pour Victor Pelletier, c’est une crise bien plus violente que la crise financière. NOTE DE MISE EN SCENE Après le Tour du Monde en 80 Jours, Mission Florimont, Dernier Coup de Ciseaux et depuis peu, Coup de Théâtre(s), pourquoi monter un classique de la comédie américaine? Cherchant depuis 10 ans à faire rire en cassant les codes de la comédie, en refusant de monter des pièces avec canapé et table basse, en cherchant toujours à renouveler le genre, en proposant aux spectateurs des voyages de plus en plus fous, pourquoi donc revenir à un théâtre plus traditionnel? Parce que je n’imagine pas travailler sans coup de coeur. Et parce que cette pièce parle de notre monde d’aujourd’hui avec plus de force qu’il y a 20 ans. En effet, on y voit s’affronter deux France en souffrance. Celle des puissants, qui ont tout, mais qui ont oublié les valeurs humaines les plus essentielles. Et celle des “sans dents” qui ne possèdent rien mais qui connaissent le sens de la vie. Si cette femme de grand patron, roi de la finance, quitte son mari pour vivre dans un deux pièces minable avec un serveur, c’est qu’elle veut de nouveau goûter à la vraie vie. Elle veut retrouver ses valeurs fondamentales. Pour elle, renoncer à l’argent, au luxe, c’est une formidable conquête de liberté. Combien de cadre dynamique aujourd’hui démissionne pour ouvrir une maison d’hôte à la campagne? Au milieu de la crise du capitalisme fou, cette comédie est salvatrice. Et gageons qu’elle fera autant rire la France d’en bas que celle d’en haut.

Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York.

At the newspaper's height, circulation was approximatly 18,000 copies. The original editorial collective included Denis Lemon (editor), Martin Corbett - who later was an active member of ACT UP, David Seligman, a founder member of the London Gay Switchboard collective, Ian Dunn of the Scottish Minorities Group, Glenys Parry (national chair of CHE), Suki J. Pitcher, and Doug Pollard, who later went on to launch the weekly gay newspaper, Gay Week (affectionately known as Gweek). Amongst Gay News' early "Special Friends" were Graham Chapman of Monty Python's Flying Circus, his partner David Sherlock, and Antony Grey, secretary of the UK Homosexual Law Reform Society from 1962 to 1970. Gay News was the response to a nationwide demand by lesbians and gay men for news of the burgeoning liberation movement. The paper played a pivotal role in the struggle for gay rights in the 1970s in the UK. It was described by Alison Hennegan (who joined the newspaper as Assistant Features Editor and Literary Editor in June 1977) as the movement's "debating chamber".

    McLean County Museum of History Community Players Theatre Collection Processed by Emma Meyer December 2014 Collection Information VOLUME OF COLLECTION: 2 Box, COLLECTION DATES: 1923-2013 RESTRICTIONS: None REPRODUCTION RIGHTS: Permission to reproduce or publish material in this collection must be obtained in writing from the McLean County Museum of History ALTERNATIVE FORMATS: None OTHER FINDING AIDS: LOCATION: Archives NOTES: Historical Sketch In 1923 a women's club met in Bloomington and discussed creating a group to perform some amateur theatricals. The first production was Overtones performed March 6, 1923, starring Winifred Kates James, Grace Kessler Green, Edith Elliot Kuhn and Lucy Parke Williams and was presented in the Turner Hall. Today Community Players is one of the oldest community theatres completely staffed by volunteers. From Turner Hall they went on to use the facilities at the Illini Theatre (now the MARC Center next to Lucca Grill), Bloomington High School (the former BJHS building on Washington Street as well as the current building on East Locust), the old Normal High School, Illinois State Normal University (Old Main), The Majestic Theater and the Scottish Rite Temple (currently the Bloomington Cultural Center for the Performing Arts). In 1957 some of the leaders of the group came together to purchase the Esquire movie theatre on Madison Street just south of the Pantagraph building. It had 300 seats and air conditioning. The deal was negotiated but never completed. The city decided to condemn the building to create new city parking lots so Community Players had to find a new home. They settled at their current location at 201 Robinhood Lane.
