News Release News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: Ben Randle, Artistic Associate ~ 415.694.6156 ~ [email protected] Press Kit: nctcsf.org/press NCTC PRESENTS THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF DOUGLAS CARTER BEANE’S THE NANCE Ambitious play set in the twilight of burlesque to feature return of acclaimed NCTC actor P.A. Cooley San Francisco, CA (August 10, 2015) — This October, New Conservatory Theatre Center sets the stage for Douglas Carter Beane’s sophisticated wit and thrilling theatrical ambition with the regional premiere of The Nance. After hit productions of Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed and As Bees in Honey Drown, NCTC bring his latest and “finest” (Time Out NY), what The New York Times calls “a heartfelt new play set in the twilight of burlesque.” This “bold, brave play” (Backstage) – which debuted at Lincoln Center Theater on Broadway in 2013 – recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque's heyday and tells the backstage story of headliner Chauncey Miles, who plays “the nance,” a flamboyantly effeminate stock character – usually played by a straight man. Set amid Mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s crackdown on burlesque before the 1939 World’s Fair, a time when it was easy to play gay yet dangerous to be gay, Chauncey's uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life. The Nance marks the return of P.A. Cooley, who will star as Chauncey. Cooley starred in several acclaimed productions with NCTC, including a celebrated star turn in Terrence McNally’s Love! Valour! Compassion!, Theater District by Richard Kramer, and the west coast premiere of McNally’s Some Men. Frequent NCTC collaborator Dennis Lickteig directs, with original music & musical direction by composer Scrumbly Koldewyn, and choreography by Rory Davis. The Nance runs October 2- November 1, 2015. Opening Night is Saturday, October 10, 2015 at 8pm. Tickets are $25–45 and available at nctcsf.org or by calling (415) 861-8972. Playwright Douglas Carter Beane has written The Little Dog Laughed (Tony nomination, Best Play); books for the musicals Xanadu (Drama Desk Award; Tony nomination, Best Book of a Musical), Lysistrata Jones (Tony nomination, Best Book of a Musical) and the new adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (Tony nomination, Best Book of a Musical); As Bees In Honey Drown (Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Playwriting Award, Drama Desk Best Play Nomination); The Country Club (LA Times Critics' Ed Decker Barbara Hodgen ARTISTIC DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Choice & Dramalogue Awards); Music From A Sparkling Planet; Advice From A Caterpillar (Outer Critics Circle Award Nomination); White Lies; Devil May Care and Old Money.

  • Spinning Tree Announces Upcoming Season
    Spinning Tree announces upcoming season Spinning Tree Theatre announces 2018-19 season Spinning Tree Theatr Spinning Tree Theatre proudly announces the 2018-19 season of plays and musicals. Artistic Director Michael Grayman- Parkhurst: “Spinning Tree’s eighth season deepens into our examination of the human condition by shining a light on what it means to live authentically and without apology. We’ll travel from turn-of-the-20th-century New England to 1937 New York City, travel the world through the eyes of young women and land in 1980’s North Eastern England. And while noticing differences in each other culturally and historically, we’ll be reminded that the same stars look down on all of us.” DADDY LONG LEGS (August 17 – September 2). The romantic and charming new Off-Broadway musical is from the Tony Award- winning director of Les Misérables (John Caird, book) and the Tony-nominated composer of Jane Eyre (Paul Gordon, music and lyrics). Based on Jean Webster’s 1912 novel, this heartwarming Cinderella story is about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor. Kansas City premiere! THE NANCE (November 2-18). Douglas Carter Beane’s 2013 Broadway play (with original music by Glen Kelly) originally starred Nathan Lane. New York City’s Mayor LaGuardia wants to clean up the city before the 1937 World’s Fair, and his target is burlesque. A nance was a stereotypical gay character and master of comic double entendre, typically played by a straight actor. What happens when our nance is gay…and has fallen in love? Kansas City premiere! EMOTIONAL CREATURE (January 17 – February 3, 2019).

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. a tpIssue 5,l Springa 2000 y Diana Son’s STOP KISS had its New York premiere at the Joseph Papp Public Theater where it extended three times, making it the longest running play at the Public under the George C. Wolfe administration. The play earned nominations for both the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama League Award, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. In this poignant and funny play, two young women slowly discover that they might be falling in love. When their tentative first kiss pro- vokes an act of violence, their lives are transformed in ways they couldn’t have pre- dicted. Our director of professional rights, Robert Vaughan, had a phone conversa- tion with Diana Son about how her own life has been transformed since the success of STOP KISS. RV: This is going to be fun. DS: Yeah. We’re putting you on the cover. There’s a picture of you sitting on a ledge at the Public Theater. You’re kidding. My hair is twelve inches longer than that now. Is it really? Well, not that much longer. It’s kind of grown out. But I’m a playwright—when else would I get my picture taken? Exactly. So, did you know you’re a complete mystery? Really? Everybody I’ve dealt with on STOP KISS so far has the most interesting questions about you. Should we keep you a mystery, or should we tell them about you? It’s so tempting … I wonder which we should do? I’ll give you an example, but I shouldn’t name names.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: May 26, 2017 Contact: Michael Wallenfels Email: [email protected] Phone: (206) 938-0963, ext. 125 ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery Announces 2017-2018 Season: I AM Seattle, WA (May 26, 2017) - ArtsWest Artistic Director Mathew Wright has announced his third season, running September 2017 through July 2018. Opening with Pulitzer Prize-winner Ayad Akhtar’s THE WHO AND THE WHAT, the six-production season will feature five Seattle premieres and a Tony-award winning musical. Following THE WHO AND THE WHAT will be Douglas Carter Beane’s campy, heartfelt and tragic ode to burlesque, THE NANCE; a reimagining of “the Scottish play” set in the cutthroat world of college admissions in Jihae Park’s PEERLESS; the riotous tale of a family in revolt in HIR by Taylor Mac; AN OCTOROON by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a genre-defying 2014 Obie Award-winner with an urgent message for today; and a harrowing tale of persecution transformed into a dazzling spectacle, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, the Tony Award-winning musical by John Kander, Frank Ebb and Terrence McNally. “The trouble we seem to be having lately - always? - is that identity is not in the eye of the beholder.” Artistic Director Mat Wright explains. “Our six plays this season are full of characters and playwrights who are unafraid to say ‘I AM’ - and who refuse to allow their identity to be defined by others.” In addition to this exciting season, ArtsWest is pleased to announce the launch of a new cabaret-style series, the ARTSWEST HOLIDAY CAST PARTY – featuring drinks, revelry, and renowned Seattle performers giving unscripted performances of any work or music they choose - running December 1-23 2017.
