The American Place Theatre was founded in 1964 and stewarded by the artistic mission of Wynn Handman. It has earned its own place in American theatrical history. Prior dissertations have chronicled specific elements of the American Place Theatre (APT), but no account has bridged the history of APT and Wynn Handman’s privately-run acting studio to the significant history of Literature to Life. The once New York City-based program that promoted English, cultural and theatrical literacy to students within the city’s public iii school system, now has a strong national following and continues to inspire students and adults across the country. This thesis will chart an historical and narrative account of Literature to Life as it emerged from the embers of the American Place Theatre and rekindled the original mission of Wynn Handman, in a different setting and for new audiences. iv APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, have examined a thesis titled “The Legacy behind Literature to Life: A History and Narrative of Wynn Handman, The American Place Theatre and Literature to Life,” presented by Tracy L.Terstriep-Herber, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

It has been an arduous and rewarding year and simply could not have been possible without the additional generous support of the following: Thank you to the University of Missouri-Kansas City Women’s Council Graduate Assistance Fund for believing in this endeavor. Through the Fund, I was connected with donor Harriette Yeckel and able to schedule flights to New York for necessary research and interviews. Thank you to Billy Lyons, Jennifer Barnette, Elise Thoron, Gwen Brownson and the rest of The American Place Theatre for their continued assistance to my questions and research. Under the duress of their own tumultuous year, the teamwork and resolve they exhibited made lasting impressions of what it means to survive and thrive as a not-for- profit, arts-in-education organization. I would like to acknowledge Jeremy Gerard and David Kener, whose writings on Wynn Handman and The American Place Theatre have lent additional layers of color and veracity to this endeavor. ix A most sincere acknowledgement goes to the tireless support of Dr. Felicia Londré. Her keen eye and availability as a sounding board has kept this documentation on track. Moreover, her exemplary spirit and feats of scholarship will inspire my own path towards excellence for years to come. Amongst the dedicated faculty of UMKC Theatre, I am especially grateful for the mentorship and support of Dr. Jennifer Martin, Carla Noack, Lindsay W. Davis and Victor En Yu Tan. x PREFACE In 1994 the artistic director, stage director, and acting teacher Wynn Handman was 71 years old. His not-for-profit American Place Theatre in New York City had been in operation for over 30 years, nurturing the talents of burgeoning playwrights, authors, actors and designers. His acting class for professional actors had been going strong since 1952, when Sanford Meisner entrusted him with his students at the Neighborhood Playhouse. One might have thought the waning years of the twentieth century would signal a reprieve for this devotee of theatre. But the confluence of a talented and ambitious young actress, a staff on the hunt for a new raison d’être, and Wynn Handman’s theatrical vision, established the breeding ground for a rewarding venture. In 1994, Tanya Little premiered in The Bluest Eye, and APT’s performance-based literacy program Literature to Life was launched. The educational program initially sought to fulfill a local need in the New York City public high schools. Today it has grown to respond to the needs of young adults and adults in over 25 states, with sights set for all 50 states in the coming years. The quality of acting and direction, a commitment to verbatim adaptations, and the utilization of specially trained teaching artists, conspire to make this educational program distinguishable and worthy of documentation. Moreover, it is worth framing Literature to Life as an extension of the historic American Place Theatre, and as one of the last theatrical legacies of Wynn Handman. But who can say “last”? At the time of writing, he is 90 years young—and still teaching four classes every week. While Literature to Life has received topical coverage in local newspapers, and a chapter is dedicated to Literature to Life in the upcoming publication of Jeremy Gerard’s xi book, Wynn Place Show, it has not been documented comprehensively. This thesis will give both a narrative and historical account of Literature to Life, offering a macro look at the program, its mission and its challenges. A micro look at Literature to Life’s educational methodologies, or the actors’ work and impact on the thousands of students, might provide additional avenues for discovery and

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • Broadside Read- a Brief Chronology of Major Events in Trous Failure
    NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 17, Number 1/Volume 17, Number 2 SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE Summer/Fa111989 EXHIBITION SURVEYS MANHATTAN'S EARLY THEATRE HISTORY L An exhibition spotlighting three early New York theatres was on view in the Main I Gallery of The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center from February 13, 1990 through March 31, 1990. Focusing on the Park Theatre on Park Row, Niblo's Garden on Broadway and Prince Street, and Wal- lack's, later called the Star, on Broadway and 13th Street, the exhibition attempted to show, through the use of maps, photo- graphic blowups, programs and posters, the richness of the developing New York theatre scene as it moved northward from lower Manhattan. The Park Theatre has been called "the first important theatre in the United States." It opened on January 29, 1798, across from the Commons (the Commons is now City Hall Park-City Hall was built in 1811). The opening production, As You Like It, was presented with some of the fin- est scenery ever seen. The theatre itself, which could accommodate almost 2,000, was most favorably reviewed. It was one of the most substantial buildings erected in the city to that date- the size of the stage was a source of amazement to both cast and audience. In the early nineteenth century, to increase ticket sales, manager Stephen Price introduced the "star sys- tem" (the importation of famous English stars). This kept attendance high but to some extent discouraged the growth of in- digenous talent. In its later days the Park was home to a fine company, which, in addition to performing the classics, pre- sented the work of the emerging American playwrights.

With Cliff Chamberlain, James Vincent Meredith, Caroline Neff, Karen Rodriguez and Michelle Medvin. Rajiv Joseph: But I guess I don't ever think about—that I'm throwing them out. I don't ever think that I'm killing anything. Audrey Francis: From Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, Illinois. Rajiv Joseph: I don't think that any work is wasted.

This week we've got me Cliff Chamberlain— James Vincent Meredith: James Vincent Meredith— Karen Rodriguez: Karen Rodriguez— Caroline Neff: And me, Caroline Neff. Cliff Chamberlain: And Caroline, this week we've got a conversation with you and our esteemed playwright, ensemble member, Rajiv Joseph. I don't think I've ever met Rajiv in the real world. I've talked him through email. I'm curious, have you ever met Rajiv before this conversation? Caroline Neff: I have. And, you know, I feel like his presence always feels a little bit like Brigadoon. It’s like—it's just sort of there, like, when you're least expecting it. So, I actually—I think the first time that I met him was… I don't remember if it was when I saw Guards at the Taj at the Atlantic, if I met him that night. But I'm trying to think if I've ever actually met him within the confines of the Steppenwolf complex.
