The video and/or audio recording of this performance by any means whatsoever is strictly prohibited. ABOUT THE WRITERS PAUL PÖRTNER (Author) was an avant garde German playwright and director who fell under the charm of the commedia dell’arte. This led to his creating Scherenschnitte in 1963, the play on which Shear Madness is based. His other work included novels, short stories, and radio plays. Mr. Portner died in 1984. MARILYN ABRAMS (Co-Creator) grew up in New York City attending The Bronx High School of Science and later Cornell University, an unlikely beginning for a career that included, among others, leading roles in Mame, Gypsy, The Sound of Music, Broadway Bound, and Private Lives plus countless television commercials. She and Bruce Jordan formed Cranberry Productions when they recognized the comic potential of interactive theatre while acting in Shear Madness. Abrams originated the role of Barbara Demarco and played it in the first four productions before taking on the role of Mrs. Shubert at the Kennedy Center. She now heads the marketing division of the company. BRUCE JORDAN (Director/Co-Creator) has directed over 30 productions of Shear Madness over the years as well as a host of other plays and musicals including Private Lives, Spamalot, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Perfect Wedding, Little Mary Sunshine, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, The Underpants, and The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds. Also an actor, Jordan has appeared in over 40 roles across the country. He made his film debut opposite Barbra Striesand in The Way We Were, acted in three commercials made for the Super Bowl, and has appeared on the front pages of both New York Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. He is the director of the three longest-running plays in the history of the United States: Shear Madness Boston is now in it’s 37th year at the Charles Playhouse, Shear Madness DC now in its 29th year at the Kennedy Center, and Shear Madness Chicago ran for 17 years at the Mayfair Theatre. Most recently he directed the New York production of Shear Madness at New World Stages and then again when it moved to the Davenport. Born in Pittsfield, MA, and raised on the south shore of Long Island, Jordan in a graduate of SUNY Geneseo and currently resides in Manhattan. †Member of Florida Repertory Theatre’s Ensemble of Theatre Artists.

However, in Bernard’s case, it is the city of interlocking flight schedules, an impeccable bachelor pad, and three well-vetted flight attendants who also happen to be his fiancées! In classic farcical tradition, Bernard and his American friend, Robert, hold on by the skin of their teeth as their affair is threatened with delayed flights and mistaken identity. In the tradition of early Roman comedy, Marc Camoletti offers his audience uproarious models of the knave, the fool, and the clever servant through Bernard, Robert, and Berthe. These three, accompanied by three foreign fiancées, present a whirlwind of slamming doors and romance while challenging and, ultimately, being reined in by the authority of monogamy. Student Matinee: March 22, 2017 Estimated length: 2 hours & 30 minutes THEMES & TOPICS Love and Marriage, Physical Comedy, Genre and Farce, European Culture CONTENT ADVISORY Boeing Boeing is a fun-filled farce that contains references to infidelity and mild sexual innuendo.

  • Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, Dramaturg
    Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, dramaturg Section I Clifford Odets: A Striving Life Clifford Odets was born in Philadelphia, on July 18, 1906, the son of a working-class Jewish family made good. Louis Odets, his father, had been a peddler, but also worked as a printer for a publishing company. In 1908, Louis Odets moved his family to New York City, where, after a brief return to Philadelphia, he prospered as a printer and ended up owning his own plant and an advertising agency, as well as serving as a Vice President of a boiler company. Odets grew up in the middle-class Bronx, not the Berger’s Bronx of tenements and squalor. Still Odets described himself as a “melancholy kid” who clashed often with his father. Odets quit high school after two years. When he was 17, Odets plunged into the theatre. He joined The Drawing Room Players and Harry Kemp’s Poets’ Theater. He wrote some radio plays, did summer stock, and hit the vaudeville circuit as “The Roving Reciter.” In 1929, he moved into the city because of a job understudying Spencer Tracy in Conflict on Broadway. A year later Odets joined the nascent Group Theatre, having met Harold Clurman and some of the other Group actors while playing bit parts at the Theatre Guild. The Group philosophy became the shaping force of Odets’ life as a writer. Clurman became his best friend and most perceptive critic. Odets wrote the first version of Awake and Sing!, then called I Got the Blues, in 1934.

    A LOOK AT SEASON SIXTY-SEVEN Colonial Players’ 2015-16 season will take our patrons on a journey from England to New York to Boston and from the late Victorian era to 21st-century America, using comedy, drama, and THE music to relate spellbinding tales of love, laughter, and, yes, even murder. Subscriptions for either five or seven shows will be on sale soon. We hope you will join us on our journey. ★ SEPTEMBER 4-26 The season opens with Sherlock’s Last Case, a ruefully comic send-up of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about his famed English detective. This modern version is unlike anything you’ve seen about Holmes, with a jaw-dropping twist so unexpected we will ask our patrons not to reveal the secret to those who have yet to see the play. ★ OCTOBER 16-31 Side Man is a memory play told by a narrator who relates the story of his parents' relationship over four decades from the 1950s to the 1980s. It focuses on the lives of side men - musicians who made their living playing gigs with headliners on tours and in recording sessions - at a time when rock and roll was edging out jazz and big band music. Side Man won a Tony Award and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. Side Man contains strong language and mature themes. ★ NOVEMBER 20-DECEMBER 13 Morning's at Seven is a charming comedy set in the early 20th century and is the second in our series of classic American plays. Originally produced in 1938, it is a story of family relationships among four sisters, three husbands, and one son and his fiancée of 12 years.

It provides the opportunity for students and entry-level professionals to gain valuable experience working within their specific field. Internships cultivate professional relationships, teach new skills, and apply the knowledge that students have gained in a “real world”, professional setting. It is a chance to make important connections, which may lead to future opportunities. Not to mention that it gives young theatre practitioners the chance to see if a specific career path is the best choice for them. Internships are an essential step when transitioning from university to professional life. Therefore, it is vital that students choose an internship that best suits their needs.
