  • THE HUMANS ESL Federal Credit Union/Rochester Regional Health 2018-2019 Season Continues with Stephen Karam’S 4-Time Tony Award Winner
    Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 46TH SEASON CONTINUES WITH THE HUMANS ESL Federal Credit Union/Rochester Regional Health 2018-2019 Season continues with Stephen Karam’s 4-Time Tony Award Winner. Rochester, N.Y., January 24, 2019 – Geva Theatre Center presents The Humans, by Stephen Karam and directed by Mark Cuddy, in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from February 19 through March 17. Three generations of the Blake family from Scranton, PA gather for Thanksgiving in a tiny NYC apartment. Over toasts, turkey and tough love, family hopes and myths are shared and shattered. This funny and heart- tugging play was hailed on Broadway two seasons ago. In addition to The Humans, Stephen Karam’s plays include Sons Of The Prophet (Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist), and Speech & Debate. His adaptation of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard premiered on Broadway as part of Roundabout’s 2016 season; his film adaptation of The Seagull starring Annette Bening premiered in 2018. Recent honors include two Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, a Lucille Lortel Award, a Drama League Award, and a Hull-Warriner Award. Stephen is a graduate of Brown University and grew up in Scranton, PA. The Humans had its world premiere at the American Theatre Company in Chicago in 2014. The Off-Broadway production opened in 2015 and it transferred to Broadway in 2016. The Off-Broadway production won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play and an Obie Award for Playwriting. The Broadway production was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize and was the winner of four Tony Awards (including Best New Play), the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best New Play.

    THE MORNING LINE DATE: Monday, December 14, 2015 FROM: Melissa Cohen, Michelle Farabaugh PAGES: 14, including this page. C3 December 14, 2015 Public Theater Announces ‘Twelfth Night’ Musical By Andrew R. Chow The Public Theater’s popular Public Works program will return in the summer with a musical adaptation of “Twelfth Night,” created by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Shaina Taub. The Public Works program brings together professional and nonprofessional actors from across New York City’s five boroughs with song-and-dance productions of classic works. “The performers come together to create a vibrant theatrical tapestry; you may be able to tally the newcomers onstage, but in this embracing context they bring as much pleasure as the polished performers,” Charles Isherwood wrote in The New York Times about last season’s “The Odyssey.” This season will lead off with “Twelfth Night,” Shakespeare’s comedy of crossed signals which appeared in its nonmusical form at Shakespeare in the Park with Anne Hathaway in 2009. The Public Theater puts on Shakespeare in the Park. The music and lyrics for the musical will be written by Ms. Taub, who has ample experience in both the pop and Broadway worlds. Mr. Kwei-Armah, a British actor and the artistic director of Baltimore’s Center Stage, will direct. According to Ms. Taub, the production will be set in a port city during a carnival. While the spoken text will be in Shakespeare’s words, the songs will be in contemporary language. “It’s so amazing to start from a play that works so well, and just zoom out the emotional moments and turn them into big songs,” Ms.

    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: Ben Randle, Artistic Associate ~ 415.694.6156 ~ [email protected] PHOTOS & PRESS KIT NEW CONSERVATORY THEATRE CENTER PRESENTS REGIONAL PREMIERE OF TONY AWARD WINNER STEPHEN KARAM’S SONS OF THE PROPHET PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST TO BE DIRECTED BY NCTC ARTISTIC ASSOCIATE BEN RANDLE San Francisco, CA (October 13, 2016) – In November, New Conservatory Theatre Center presents the regional premiere of Stephen Karam’s Pulitzer Prize Finalist, Sons of the Prophet, to be directed by NCTC Artistic Associate Ben Randle. Karam, who recently won the Tony Award for his play The Humans, was named a Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Sons of the Prophet, his refreshingly honest take on how we cope with wounds that just won’t heal. If to live is to suffer, then Joseph Douaihy is more alive than most. With unexplained chronic pain and the fate of his reeling family on his shoulders, Joseph's health, sanity, and insurance premium are on the line. Sons of the Prophet is the funniest play about human suffering you'll ever see. Sons of the Prophet runs November 11 – December 18. Opening Night is Saturday, November 19, 2016 at 8pm. Tickets are $25–50 and available at nctcsf.org or by calling (415) 861-8972. Karam’s award-winning play premiered to acclaim at Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company in 2011, and later that year transferred Off-Broadway to Roundabout Theatre Company. In addition to its Pulitzer honors, it received Best Play awards from New York Drama Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel Awards, and Outer Critics Circle Awards, hailing the discovery of an “important playwright in Stephen Karam” (New York Magazine): "Explosively funny,” hails The New York Times.
