Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announces the expansion of its online programs and events through August 2020. Arena Artistic Director Molly Smith has curated a diverse and engaging Spring/Summer Season, Looking Forward, connecting artists and audiences locally and nationally. In addition to the popular and in-demand Gifts of Art, Molly’s Salons, Broadway dance classes and Civil Dialogues, Smith has created a robust line-up of programming. “I had a major realization a few weeks after we closed our physical doors that without plays happening on our stages at Arena, the best way to communicate with our audiences is online,” says Artistic Director Molly Smith. “We are thrilled to share the Spring/Summer Season of Looking Forward. What makes us different from anyone else? We will always be in high touch with you even online and we promise to engage you intellectually, politically, emotionally and spiritually just like we do in the theater.” Arena will premiere two films that capture the heartbeat and spirit of the D.C. region’s response to COVID-19. Arena’s education program, Voices of Now, moved its rehearsals online following the closure of schools and adapted their traditional original theater showcase to film. Inside Voices: a film by Arena Stage’s Voices of Now ensembles is a time capsule created by 120 student artists’ through a devised theater process.

  • Casting Women, Fat Stigma, and Broadway Bodies
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu "Must Be Heavyset": Casting Women, Fat Stigma, and Broadway Bodies by Ryan Donovan The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 31, Number 3 (Spring 2019) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2019 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center “We need a young girl who is—what shall we say—chubby/fat/big. But a healthy version of a fat girl, because she is dancing her ass off for two hours.” —Bernard Telsey, casting director[1] Introduction Casting director Craig Burns worked on Broadway’s Hairspray (2002) from its first workshops, and it remains his favorite production because of the opportunity to cast people who “weren’t normally considered for leads in a show, and now all of a sudden these girls are getting a chance because we need a fat girl. There was so much joy in that.”[2] Katrina Rose Dideriksen was one such woman given the chance to play Hairspray’s Tracy Turnblad on Broadway and on tour. She remembered feeling excited to play Tracy because she “is the ingénue, she wins the guy, she saves the day . she’s funny and she’s lovable and all those things, but in this very real-girl way.” Dideriksen then noticed a “weight clause” in her contract: “It was really this underlying pinch to realize that subconsciously I was being told I was still wrong for it, that there was something I had to fix. I don’t think they realized how hurtful, and how anti-Hairspray it really was for them to be like, ‘Lose 20 pounds.’”[3] Apart from a few roles (including Tracy), fat women are almost never cast in roles beyond the comedic sidekick or best friend in commercial theatre.

  • Million Dollar Milestones Hamilton Mania
    Million Dollar Milestones • At the 11th Annual Joci Awards in April, Las Casas Foundation awarded a record breaking $118,000 in scholarships, surpassing $1 million in total scholarship giving since the inception of the Scholarship Program. • An exceptionally competitive year, in addition to the 25 finalists who were selected, additional students were chosen to perform in celebration of awarding our millionth scholarship dollar. These eight “One In A Million” students received $1,000 scholarships. • Four students were selected for the Production Assistant Internship Program. These students shadowed the Blanchard Creative Group and served as assistant stage managers during tech week and the final performance. These students also received $1,000 scholarships. • The 11th Annual Joci Awards was attended by over 650 people, a 10% increase over 2018. • In addition to the scholarships awarded, two students (Katie Bulen of Taft High School and Jackson Hager of Reagan High School) were selected to represent the region at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards. They, along with perennial chaperone Ana Flores, spent a week at NYU working with Broadway professionals before performing on stage of the Minskoff Theatre on June 24. • In order to select these two students, staff and adjudicators attended 21 productions from October 2018 through February 2019. The number of productions remained consistent with the prior year, but new schools included Geneva School of Boerne, Harlan High School (NISD) and Edison High School (SAISD). • For the first time, the top three musicals were recognized for their exceptional productions. $500 grants were presented to Taft High School for its production of The Drowsy Chaperone, Reagan High School for its production of Hello, Dolly!, and Brennan High School for its production of Into the Woods.
