Many of Chekhov’s Chekhov said somewhere that one has to have faith characters are people of no exceptional distinction. in human beings, or life becomes impossible. He said Whatever stature they may or may not have in their this knowing full well what human beings are like in professions or social circles, they are people who will their most vulnerable moments, being, as he was, a not be remembered by history. And yet, the effect on doctor who confronted the daily truth of pain and the audience should be to think of ourselves like the fear and nakedness in his practice. Durang has been characters think of themselves: as participants in a confronting something of the opposite in his work: the larger reality which is a bit absurd, and in which we inability to have faith in anything to do with human are, to a greater or lesser extent, alone, yet which we beings. But in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike know it is our responsibility to endure, sometimes Durang has found a way to visit with Chekhov, and without the solace of love. All of these elements as the play reveals its heart—still mad and absurd in and themes float amiably in the whimsical ether of a recognizably Durangian way—I think we can feel Christopher Durang’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha them, companionably and compassionately, smiling and Spike, without making themselves central to it or together. weighing down its buoyant comic energy.

Together with her partner, Connie Rinchiuso, Carolyn arrived at ACT’s costume department in 1984, and dedicated her next thirty years to the success and vitality of this theatre. Carolyn helmed our Costume Department with great passion, ferocious wit and wisdom, a peerless attention to detail and design, and a respect and affection for her collaborators that made artists and craftspeople both colleagues and part of her family. While her leadership as Costume Director shaped and supported the to ACT work of hosts of designers over some 150 productions, she was also a talented costume designer in her own right, and shared her gifts in that role with ACT and beyond.

  • Patron Services Representatives Are the Official Face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS Lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn
    REPRESENTATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION Patron Services Representatives are the official face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn. They assist patrons at the booths with all of their questions and are primarily charged with discussing the current theatrical offerings with potential ticket buyers. The goal of a Patron Services Representative is not to “push” or “sell” certain shows or seats, but rather to help our patrons to make informed decisions for themselves and get all the information they need about any given show or shows. In a nutshell, Patron Services Representatives are well informed, kind, and passionate theatre professionals working for TDF/TKTS, in order to help our patrons’ understanding of the booths, and improve the overall TKTS experience. Like all TDF’s programming, they are trying to make theatre accessible to as many people as possible by improving the experience of the booths and simplify the sometimes overwhelming world of New York City Theatre. Representatives are expected to: -Work year round at the TKTS Booths, for the most part out-of doors. -Have an excellent working knowledge of New York City in order to best help patrons (especially of the Theatres and their areas) -Be able to discuss with patrons of TKTS the various shows we have on offer. -Offer help to anyone looking for informational assistance at our Booths. -Keep up to date with information on the current season of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. This may include attending various shows which offer invitations to the team. -Assist in Patron’s understanding of the TKTS Booth’s operations, rules, and function.

In this dissertation, I examined current models of new play development in the United States. Looking at Lincoln Center Theater and Signature Theatre, I considered major non-profit theatres that seek to create life-long connections to legendary playwrights. I studied new play development at a major regional theatre, Denver Center Theatre Company, and showed how the use of commissions contribute to its new play development program, the Colorado New Play Summit. I also examined a new model of play development that has arisen in recent years—the use of small black box theatres housed in large non-profit theatre institutions.
