Volume XIII (Updated) SP 2016

Welcome to the updated version of the thirteenth edition of our Alumni Revue! This issue was created since it was decided to publish a new edition every other year beginning with SP 2017. It once again expands our numbers and updates existing entries. Thanks to all of you who returned the forms that provided us with this information; please continue to urge your fellow alums to do the same so that the following editions will be even larger and more complete.

For copies of the form, Alumni Information Questionnaire, please contact the editor of this revue, Lynette Gibson, Assistant Program Officer/Academic Program Coordinator, Ph.D. Program in Theatre, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016-4309. You may also email her at [email protected].

Thank you again for staying in touch with us. We’re always delighted to hear from you! Jean Graham-Jones Executive Officer

Hello Everyone:

his is the updated version of the thirteenth edition of Alumni Revue. As always, I would like to thank our alumni for taking the time to send me T their updated information. I am, as always, very grateful to the Administrative Assistants, who are responsible for ensuring the entries are correctly edited.

The Cover Page was done once again by James Armstrong, maybe he should be named honorary “cover-in-chief”. The photograph shows the exterior of Shakespeare’s Globe in London, England and was taken in August 2012. It depicts the reconstructed Globe Theater together with posters for that summer’s season.

As stated in my emails to you, for the past two years we have had alumni events near the end of the fall semester. We were happy that many of you attended Marvin Carlson’s 80th birthday celebration at the beginning of the fall semester this year. We will not be having a cocktail party before the end of the year, but we are planning to hold a Graduate Center event for alumni sometime in the early spring 2016 semester. We promise to keep you informed.

We hope you enjoy this updated edition. Best regards.

Lynette C. Gibson Editor

THE GRADUATE UNIVERSITY CENTER OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

From the Editorial and Graphic Arts Assistants

James Armstrong: I hope everyone enjoys the cover this year, with a picture of one of my favorite theatres! It’s always a pleasure to work on the Alumni Revue and help people keep in touch with colleagues, new and old. The breadth and depth of research being done by our graduates is truly amazing.

Emily Clark: I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work on the Alumni Revue throughout the years. As I move closer to completing my work, (it’s within reach!), it’s exciting to learn about your successes. I cannot wait to see what 2015 has in store for all of you!

Margit Edwards: This is my first year here in the department and working on the Alumni Revue. What a wonderful experience it has been reaching out to our dynamic Alumni and learning about their accomplishments. Through the work I have done on the Alumni Revue I have been given a window into the future. I hope you all enjoy this year’s edition.

Joseph Paul Hill: Last year I was in more direct contact with many of you because I worked to collect many of the additions and edits to your Alumni Revue entries. Although I have spent this year solely on the editing side of the process, I am no less enthused about the amazing things that our alumni do both in academia and in alternative careers. My favorite part of each entry continues to be “what you would most want your GC colleagues to know,” and I am particularly fond of the tidbits of advice that some of you have left in these notes. Thank you for those.

Bindi Kang: It was a pleasure to work on the Alumni Revue again. Reading entries full of professional and personal success gives me hope whenever I turn to the dark side and rail against the impenetrable structures of the job market. I so wish that I could have attended the Alumni Cocktail Party to celebrate and to meet many of you.

Alison Walls: It has been so interesting, encouraging, and exciting to get a glimpse of the impressive accomplishments and varied lives of our alumni through working on the Alumni Revue. It was especially nice to meet some of you in person at the Alumni Cocktail Party. I’m pleased to see that other loves (food, wine, animals) unite us, as well as theatre!

Hobbies, Community Service, Volunteer: Hobbies include films, drumming, the beach for downtime, travel, music, dancing, and horseback riding. Community Outreach includes performance work at Long Beach Library for Women's History Month and Irish Heritage. Community service includes: produced and performed as Blanche DuBois in a staged reading of A Streetcar Named Desire with my company Mississippi Mud Productions at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Long Beach as a fundraiser for MLK, opposite Geoffrey Owens of “The Cosby Show” and Broadway's “Romeo and Juliet” as Stanley Kowalski. I completed my certification in the Dustin Hoffman MasterClass for Acting, a cutting edge virtual course, and I voluntarily organized the first ever New York City live meetup of actors in the MasterClass so we could have a live working space to expand upon our virtual work, all sanctioned by MasterClass. I was proud that I raised funds for Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit big cat sanctuary, from performances of my original solo show I wrote and perform, Sharon Tate in Heaven. I adopted via the "adaption kits" Alex the Tiger who paints with his paws and Ares the Puma, among others, to help six tigers, lions, and pumas in total, and these sponsorships help the big cats with food and medical and daily care. With Mississippi Mud Productions and as This American Blonde Actress I act, direct, produce, and teach, and with my solo show on Sharon Tate I continue to give to charity for wild animals in the USA and around the world. What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I was named after actress Jennifer Jones, who said “My mother taught me never complain, never explain.” I think it is a great mantra. Achieve, be happy. My original solo show The Blonde Bombshell Project: Marilyn Monroe (premiered in 2013 in New York City) was invited to Long Beach Public Library for a Project Hope supported by grant funds. I also wrote and perform my original solo show Sharon Tate in Heaven about 1960s actress Sharon Tate and have played it now in New York City, Lido Beach, and Los Angeles. In 2016 I go on tour with it for a fourth time to Los Angeles, and also Florida and then New York for Earth Day. The show helps charity, including Big Cat Rescue and newly this year, Mountain Lion Organization and select others that help wild cats, wolves, and wild mustangs. My film for New Media version of the show, titled Sharon Tate in Heaven: Super 8, shot in location in LA, will be released Christmas 2015 into 2016 in four episodes, and made available on YouTube and Vimeo. I have performed in three New Media "Dailies" episodes with The Wooster Group, playing the lead part of Paula (opposite Jim Fletcher of GATZ). Select acting projects include Nina in SeaGull69 (an original adaption by Mud of Chekhov's The Seagull, set in LA in 1969), directed by Austin Pendleton; A Streetcar Named Desire (Blanche, The Cherry Pit, NYC); Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Maggie Pollitt, NYC); and a solo show about actress Vivien Leigh performed regionally and in New York. I am creating a new solo show about actress Michelle Pfeiffer that will deal with acting, Hollywood, film and the arc of a career from teen to “MILF” as a woman star. It will debut in March 2016 for Women's History Month at Long Beach Public Library. I teach and coach children, teens, and adults for stage and TV/film acting (special shout out to Long Island actress Alex B. who booked two national commercials and was accepted into the BFA program at Pace). I am teaching workshops and classes in Acting and Acting for TV/Film by invitation from Artists in Partnership, and hosted by the City of Long Beach-- Youth and Family Services. This past summer I taught the newly launched The Craft of Acting and directed the class showcase at North Shore Public Library in Shoreham-Wading River, Suffolk County, LI. In summer 2016, I plan to share "Sharon Tate in Heaven" out at Wading River Congregational Church on Long Island, in the hamlet I was raised in, for charity. ======

What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I taught Drama and English at several CUNY divisions, the last being Hunter College. After retiring in 1997, I

founded American Playwrights Theatre in NYC, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit small theatre company, where from 1997 to 2003 I produced Equity showcases of new American plays in midtown Manhattan, as well as numerous staged readings at the NYC public library. In 2005, my husband and I moved to a large senior complex in Massachusetts, where in 2006 I started The Linden Ponds Players, a troupe of actors I trained aged 60s to 90s. From 2006 to 2012, I wrote, produced, and directed about 16 productions at our fully equipped 250-seat theatre, as well as at nearby senior centers. I also teach courses in our “Lifelong Learning Program” and occasionally interview people on our in-house television show, “Live at Linden Ponds.” In late 2014, I started “The Readers Theatre,” a monthly program of short play readings on our in-house TV station, (LPTV), which has wide distribution among senior communities throughout the U.S. I’m putting together a book of my own one-acts about seniors, plays that have already been produced in NYC and around the country. ======

Hobbies, Community Service, Volunteer: International Travel, Jazz and Classical Music What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I retired from Ithaca College, in May 2012, having been there since Fall 1990. While there I taught Intro to Theatre (the first 11 years), Theatre History (the whole time), C ontemporary Developments in Theatre (since 2000), and the occasional upper level seminars, the topics of which include Avant-Garde Theatre in Europe from 1880-1940, Theatre in the U.S. between the Wars, and Minorities in American Theatre. One of my favorite courses was a Humanities & Science Honors Seminar titled (rather tediously) A Tale of Two Theatrical Cities: Literary, Performing & Visual Arts and the French Revolution, which I taught twice on the home campus and three times at the Ithaca College London Center (ICLC). This course was inspired by the great seminar I had in 1999 at CUNY with Marvin Carlson and Daniel Gerould (may that fine man rest in peace). When I taught the course at ICLC it included a weekend in Paris and attendance at productions relating to the course and the Revolution, including the English National Opera’s production of Dialogues of the Carmelites, the Royal Opera’s production of The Marriage of Figaro, and the RSC revival of Marat/Sade. I have taken students to the Edinburgh Festival annually since 2000 and strongly encourage students to study abroad, either at our London Center (ICLC) or any place they desire. I taught at ICLC in Fall 2005, and in January 2007 gave myself a trip to Greece for my 60th birthday present. My last year of teaching, 2011-12, was spent in residence at our London center, teaching the seminar on the French Revolution and helping to plan the celebration for the 40th anniversary of ICLC, which was a great success. I’ve been retired a year and a half now, and so far am spending it enjoying the beauty of the Upstate area of South Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina, only about an hour’s drive away. I walk along the quaintly titled but quite lovely Swamp Rabbit Trail every morning, and subscribe to three concert series of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, a group that surprised me with its excellence. In late September 2013 I took a two-week trip to Spain (Madrid and Barcelona, with day trips to Avila, Segovia and Toledo)—my first trip abroad during retirement. It was a fine way to start! Since then I have traveled about twice a year, spending three weeks in Ireland, three more in Switzerland and Germany, and another three traveling through France. Most recently I took still another trip that included Switzerland (again), a short visit to sub-Alpine France, and two weeks in Italy. Life is good. ======Dr. HUFF, Helen email: [email protected] 405 West 50th Street New York, NY 10019

Hobbies, Community Service, Volunteer: none listed What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I’d like to share a few stimulating memories of what the Ph.D. Theatre Program was like in 1970. We were a fierce little group of dedicated students, most of whom had already slugged it out in such disparate worlds as advertising, teaching and Off-Broadway Theatre (there was no Off-Off-Broadway; one “Off” was far enough away). The Faculty was superb: people like Alois Nagler of Yale, Alan Downer of Princeton, Dan Gerould and Bernie Dukore. I recall a fantastic course given by a distinguished classics Scholar from N.Y.U. (forgive me for having forgotten his name) during which we spent the entire term studying Sophocles’ Antigone line by line! It really was invigorating. After classes we’d go out into the night on West 42nd Street and mosey around the theatre district, some of us hitting Hector’s Cafeteria, some the steak place on the south side of the street (grilled steak on a platter for $1.69), and some even taking in free Broadway shows after the Intermissions. Incidentally, the waitresses at Hector’s Cafeteria were mostly actresses who knew we were theatre students so they gave us the necessary considerations on the bills. All in all, it was a glowing time! ======

Great experience at PSi conference this summer, and lots of nourishing performance and theatre here in NY this fall. Currently working on articles for Theatre Research (Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument) and TDR (Tiresias by Heather Cassils), and preparing for a seminar at ASTR for the Performance and Philosophy panel (also on Hirschhorn). Primary research interest is currently in radical temporalities and performance, at the intersection of philosophy. Promotion to Full Professor as of this fall, 2013, and a search for a much needed full-time tenure track colleague at the College of Staten Island to be in place by Fall, 2014 are all good things. So is the return of my daughter Erin, from her year in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, fluent in Swahili, for her senior year at Mt. Holyoke, where she is working on a thesis and on a Fulbright application which she hopes will head her back to Africa after graduation. Joel is in a third year at Person of Interest – also a good thing. And my son Naoise is doing his part to hold up the intellectual tradition with two AP classes in his sophomore year of high school, as well as playing some serious soccer defense and making his way through Don Quixote. ======

Recent publications/papers: This last year I created a new honors course: American Dreams: Immigrant Stories on the Stage. In preparing that course, I discovered a new research path into the great store of dramatic literature on this subject and I hope to present on that subject at next summer’s ATHE conference in Chicago. In addition to my research and teaching, I have been active creatively. I directed A Flea in Her Ear and Shakespeare’s The Tempest for Western Illinois University. For my own theatre company I directed Vincent (a solo performance piece about Van Gogh), the charming comedy, Enchanted April (in which I also played Mrs. Graves), and A Shakespeare Soirée. I wrote the script for the Soirée, which showcased 6 actresses reading favorite speeches from Shakespeare, as well as original commentary and projections of the great Juliets, Lady Macbeth’s, and other major female characters Family: Spouse/Partner: Dan Woods, Artist/Actor Child(ren): none listed Grandchild(ren) none listed
