THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD INVITES YOU TO TALK WITH TWO STELLAR ARTISTS PRESENTED AT THE National Arts Club UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF MagRack Video IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE English-Speaking Union MARGOT HARLEY & DAVID SCHRAMM Monday, April 28, at 8:00 p.m. This conversation will celebrate the thirtieth-anniversary season of THE ACTING COMPANY, a troupe that MARGOT HARLEY co-founded with the late JOHN HOUSE- MAN in 1972 as a way to allow the JUILLIARD SCHOOL DRAMA DIVISION’s first graduating class (which included KEVIN KLINE, PATTI LUPONE, and DAVID OGDEN STIERS) to gain professional experience in classical theater. Ms. Harley administered the Juilliard program during its first twelve years. Meanwhile she has produced such hits as Max Blitzstein’s musical The Cradle Will Rock (a celebrated Houseman revival that went from Manhattan to London’s Old Vic), The Curse of an Aching Heart and The Robber Bridegroom (two Broadway shows that starred Faye Dunaway), Ten by Tennes- see (a two-evening retrospective of Williams’ one-act plays, directed by Michael Kahn), and the New York premiere of Eric Overymyer’s On the Verge (directed by Garland Wright). She’ll be joined by DAVID SCHRAMM, another of her first-year Juilliard alumni. Mr. Schramm’s Broadway credits include Bedroom Farce, Goodbye Fidel, Lon- don Assurance, The Misanthrope, The Robber Bridegroom, School for Scandal, Tartuffe Born Again, and The Three Sisters. Best known for his eight seasons as Roy Biggins, the brash and overbearing owner of a commuter airline in the NBC sitcom Wings (1990-97), Mr. Schramm has also starred in Another World, Jake and the Fatman, Wiseguy, The Equalizer, Miami Vice, Spencer for Hire, and- Working Girl (where he played Joe McGill, opposite actress Sandra Bullock), and in such films as A Shock to the System, Big Packages, Johnny Handsome, Let it Ride, and Ragtime. A Kentuckian, he attended Bowling Green University, where he majored in English and allowed his interest in drama to blossom. This engagement is free of charge for members of THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD and THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB, and $10 for attendees who aren’t affiliated with either organization. The format for each event is quite simple: a conversation that begins with Guild president JOHN F. ANDREWS and his guests and then opens up to questions from the floor. The festivities conclude with a light dessert in the Club’s beautiful lounge. For further details, including information about the Guild and an order form, see the back side of the accompanying flyer. THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB is located at 15 GRAMERCY PARK SOUTH in New York City. To inquire about it, or to request dinner reservations, call (212) 475-3424. .

South Coast Repertory Is a Professional Resident Theatre Founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson
IN BRIEF FOUNDING South Coast Repertory is a professional resident theatre founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson. VISION Creating the finest theatre in America. LEADERSHIP SCR is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Paula Tomei. Its 33-member Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders from business, civic and arts backgrounds. In addition, hundreds of volunteers assist the theatre in reaching its goals, and about 2,000 individuals and businesses contribute each year to SCR’s annual and endowment funds. MISSION South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief that theatre is an art form with a unique power to illuminate the human experience. We commit ourselves to exploring urgent human and social issues of our time, and to merging literature, design, and performance in ways that test the bounds of theatre’s artistic possibilities. We undertake to advance the art of theatre in the service of our community, and aim to extend that service through educational, intercultural, and community engagement programs that harmonize with our artistic mission. FACILITY/ The David Emmes/Martin Benson Theatre Center is a three-theatre complex. Prior to the pandemic, there were six SEASON annual productions on the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, four on the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage, with numerous workshops and theatre conservatory performances held in the 94-seat Nicholas Studio. In addition, the three-play family series, “Theatre for Young Audiences,” produced on the Julianne Argyros Stage. The 20-21 season includes two virtual offerings and a new outdoors initiative, OUTSIDE SCR, which will feature two productions in rotating rep at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in July 2021.

Acting in the Academy
Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.

Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.
