  • Ripe Frenzy Program (Download PDF)
    WELCOME Greenway Arts Alliance has been honored to serve thousands of students, artists and community members for the last twenty years. Did you know that you are on the campus of Fairfax High School in a building designed and constructed by Fairfax students as a “Social Hall” in the 1940’s? Based on articles in the school newspaper, the students were committed to building a home in which to “socialize.” Greenway continues this commit- ment through our mission to unite communities through our productions at the Greenway Court Theatre, which give our patrons the opportunity to share in the communal experience of live theatre. Jennifer Barclay's Ripe Frenzy, produced through the National New Play Network's Rolling World Premiere program, is the culminating production of Greenway's 20th Anniversary season. In it we showcase our recommitment to producing important new works that explore the pressing social issues of our time. As we write this letter in preparation for Opening Night, we do so with the knowledge that students, teachers and parents in Santa Fe, Texas, are mourning their friends and children lost in yet another school shooting. Since Columbine, we have watched in horror as 85 similar shootings have occurred, killing 223 people. As a theatre in residence on a high school campus, we say ENOUGH, and hope that this produc- tion will inspire our audiences to interrogate society's role in the proliferation of these events, and look for ways to work toward ending them. We regard Greenway Court Theatre as our home and are grateful that you are here.

  • The 2017 Remodel of LA Theater
    The 2017 remodel of LA theater laobserved.com/intell/2017/12/the_2017_remodel_of_la_theater.php By Don Shirley | December 23, 2017 9:09 AM If you see only one satire of musicals this month, "Something Rotten!" is the better choice. Photo by Jeremy Daniel. 2017 was a pivotal year for Los Angeles theater, but not because the quality was better or worse than usual. It's because of institutional changes. After two years of heated debate, new Actors' Equity rules finally took full effect in smaller theaters. Receiving far less attention were changes in the leadership of four of LA's larger nonprofit theater companies. Meanwhile, "Hamilton" - at the Pantages -- dominated the second half of the year, not only in terms of attendance, attention and profits but also in terms of innovation. In most of my previous year-end summaries, I briefly comment on my favorite shows, arranged in alphabetical order. I'm still mentioning most of my personal theatrical faves this year, but I'm weaving my references to them into the context of discussions about these larger changes. Because I've already written about most of my favorites in earlier columns (which are available here), I'm going to restrict longer mentions only to those few shows that were highlights but which didn't fit into earlier columns. 1/7 Also, for those readers who simply want some recommendations about what to see during the holidays, feel free to skip to the last section of the column. Let's start with our biggest nonprofit company, Center Theatre Group - the proprietor of the Ahmanson, Mark Taper Forum and Kirk Douglas Theatre.

BY ALEX ROSS Parts of “Hopscotch” are staged inside a fleet of limousines. Other scenes take place on rooftops and in city parks. CREDITPHOTOGRAPH BY ANGIE SMITH FOR THE NEW YORKER Jonah Levy, a thirty-year-old trumpet player based in Los Angeles, has lately developed a curious weekend routine. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, he puts on a white shirt, a black tie, black pants, and a motorcycle jacket, and heads to the ETO Doors warehouse, in downtown L.A. He takes an elevator to the sixth floor and walks up a flight of stairs to the roof, where a disused water tower rises an additional fifty feet. Levy straps his trumpet case to his back and climbs the tower’s spindly, rusty ladder. He wears a safety harness, attaching clamps to the rungs, and uses weight-lifting gloves to avoid cutting his palms.

    Playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes on veterans, John Coltrane and Puerto Rican identity scpr.org/programs/the-frame/2018/02/06/61597/playwright-quiara-alegria-hudes-on-veterans-john-c/ Slideshow Rubén Garfias, Peter Mendoza and Jason Manuel Olazábal in “Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue” at Center Theatre Group’s Kirk Douglas Theatre. Craig Schwartz Quiara Alegría Hudes won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2012 for “Water By the Spoonful.” It’s the centerpiece of a trilogy of plays originally inspired by a cousin of the playwright’s — a former Marine who served in Iraq. For the first time ever, the three plays are being produced simultaneously. Three venues here in Los Angeles are mounting the productions: The Kirk Douglas Theater in Culver City; and the Mark Taper Forum and the Los Angeles Theater Center, both in downtown L.A. The plays are an exploration of family ties that bind — and that sometimes sadly unravel. 1/5 When Hudes visited The Frame studio, she discussed writing about war, staging productions for veterans, and using Bach and John Coltrane as musical metaphors. Interview Highlights: How she based the plays on of her cousin Elliot's military service: When he returned from his first deployment with a leg injury, he was on base in San Diego. We met up because I was working on a theater project, coincidentally, nearby. So we went out for dinner and I hadn't seen him since he had left for boot camp. He clearly had some traumatic experiences in the line of duty. So we ate a big dinner and laughed, as cousins do.
