Artswest Playhouse and Gallery Announces 2017-2018 Season: I AM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: May 26, 2017 Contact: Michael Wallenfels Email: [email protected] Phone: (206) 938-0963, ext. 125 ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery Announces 2017-2018 Season: I AM Seattle, WA (May 26, 2017) - ArtsWest Artistic Director Mathew Wright has announced his third season, running September 2017 through July 2018. Opening with Pulitzer Prize-winner Ayad Akhtar’s THE WHO AND THE WHAT, the six-production season will feature five Seattle premieres and a Tony-award winning musical. Following THE WHO AND THE WHAT will be Douglas Carter Beane’s campy, heartfelt and tragic ode to burlesque, THE NANCE; a reimagining of “the Scottish play” set in the cutthroat world of college admissions in Jihae Park’s PEERLESS; the riotous tale of a family in revolt in HIR by Taylor Mac; AN OCTOROON by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a genre-defying 2014 Obie Award-winner with an urgent message for today; and a harrowing tale of persecution transformed into a dazzling spectacle, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, the Tony Award-winning musical by John Kander, Frank Ebb and Terrence McNally. “The trouble we seem to be having lately - always? - is that identity is not in the eye of the beholder.” Artistic Director Mat Wright explains. “Our six plays this season are full of characters and playwrights who are unafraid to say ‘I AM’ - and who refuse to allow their identity to be defined by others.” In addition to this exciting season, ArtsWest is pleased to announce the launch of a new cabaret-style series, the ARTSWEST HOLIDAY CAST PARTY – featuring drinks, revelry, and renowned Seattle performers giving unscripted performances of any work or music they choose - running December 1-23 2017. THE WHO AND THE WHAT By Ayad Akhtar September 7 – October 1, 2017 Brilliant Pakistani-American writer Zarina is focused on finishing her novel about women and Islam when she meets Eli, a young convert who bridges the gulf between her modern life and her traditional heritage. But when her conservative father and sister discover her controversial manuscript, they are all forced to confront the beliefs that define them. From Ayad Akhtar, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of Disgraced, THE WHO & THE WHAT is a thrillingly fierce and funny new play about identity, religion and the contradictions that make us who we are. THE NANCE By Douglas Carter Beane October 26 – November 19, 2017 Set in the beating heart of the naughty, raucous world of 1930s burlesque, THE NANCE brings to life an American era when it was easy to play gay and dangerous to be gay. Chauncey Miles performs as a “nance”, a popular comedy act packed with double entendre and camp parodies of gay men. While most “nance” actors are straight, Chauncey is not, and – at a time when gay communities were subject to police raids and moral outrage – Chauncey is left with no choice but to hide his identity while he mocks it onstage. ARTSWEST HOLIDAY CAST PARTY December 1 - December 23, 2017 Ring in the holidays with a dazzling night of merriment, song, and a heaping dash of the unexpected. At the Holiday Cast Party, celebrated Seattle performers take the stage one by one to wow the crowd, each with their unique brand of unplanned, unscripted and wildly talented merriment. With each night brimming with a wealth of surprises, you might just want to come back for a second helping. PEERLESS By Jihae Park January 18 - February 11, 2018 Asian-American twin sisters M and L will do whatever it takes to win the one coveted affirmative action spot at “The College.” But when the thick acceptance envelope falls into the hands of D, a white male colleague who is 1/16th Native American, the sisters will stop at nothing to take back what is rightfully theirs – and eliminate anyone who stands in their way. Jiehae Park’s clever and incisive adaptation of Macbeth explores how the drive to succeed can become an all-consuming – and deadly – obsession. HIR By Taylor Mac March 1 - March 25, 2018 Somewhere in the suburbs, Isaac has returned from the wars to help take care of his ailing father, only to enter a different warzone: a household in revolt. His mother, liberated from an oppressive marriage – with Isaac’s newly out transgender sibling as her ally – is on a crusade to dismantle the patriarchy. But in Taylor Mac’s sly, subversive comedy HIR, annihilating the past doesn’t always free you from it. AN OCTOROON By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins April 19 - May 13, 2018 Winner - 2014 OBIE Award for Best New American Play In 1859, the handsome George arrives as heir apparent to Terrabonne, his late uncle’s slave plantation. There he quickly falls in love with Zoe, a beautiful “octoroon” – someone who is one-eighth Black – but the evil overseer M’Closky has other plans for both Terrebonne and Zoe. Nothing is sacred in this genre- bending work: race, identity and time are bent by the whims of AN OCTOROON’s audacious storytelling. Racial stereotypes both past and present are shattered in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ bold, imaginative re-envisioning of a 19th century antebellum drama as an urgent message for today. KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb Book by Terrence McNally Based on the novel by Manuel Puig Winner – 1993 Tony® Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score Winner – 1993 Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Musical and Outstanding Music The Tony-award winning musical KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN tells the tale of two cell mates in a Latin American prison – one a Marxist revolutionary, the other a gay window dresser – who form a bond in captivity. As their friendship deepens, the window dresser escapes into a fantasy world of the movies he loved most as a child, conjuring a beautiful enchantress to pass the time and ease the pain – a spider woman, who kills with her kiss. Juxtaposing gritty realities with liberating fantasies, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN revamps a harrowing tale of persecution into a dazzling spectacle.

  • Spinning Tree Announces Upcoming Season
    Spinning Tree announces upcoming season Spinning Tree Theatre announces 2018-19 season Spinning Tree Theatr Spinning Tree Theatre proudly announces the 2018-19 season of plays and musicals. Artistic Director Michael Grayman- Parkhurst: “Spinning Tree’s eighth season deepens into our examination of the human condition by shining a light on what it means to live authentically and without apology. We’ll travel from turn-of-the-20th-century New England to 1937 New York City, travel the world through the eyes of young women and land in 1980’s North Eastern England. And while noticing differences in each other culturally and historically, we’ll be reminded that the same stars look down on all of us.” DADDY LONG LEGS (August 17 – September 2). The romantic and charming new Off-Broadway musical is from the Tony Award- winning director of Les Misérables (John Caird, book) and the Tony-nominated composer of Jane Eyre (Paul Gordon, music and lyrics). Based on Jean Webster’s 1912 novel, this heartwarming Cinderella story is about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor. Kansas City premiere! THE NANCE (November 2-18). Douglas Carter Beane’s 2013 Broadway play (with original music by Glen Kelly) originally starred Nathan Lane. New York City’s Mayor LaGuardia wants to clean up the city before the 1937 World’s Fair, and his target is burlesque. A nance was a stereotypical gay character and master of comic double entendre, typically played by a straight actor. What happens when our nance is gay…and has fallen in love? Kansas City premiere! EMOTIONAL CREATURE (January 17 – February 3, 2019).

    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS CONTACT: Ben Randle, Artistic Associate ~ 415.694.6156 ~ [email protected] Press Kit: nctcsf.org/press NCTC PRESENTS THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF DOUGLAS CARTER BEANE’S THE NANCE Ambitious play set in the twilight of burlesque to feature return of acclaimed NCTC actor P.A. Cooley San Francisco, CA (August 10, 2015) — This October, New Conservatory Theatre Center sets the stage for Douglas Carter Beane’s sophisticated wit and thrilling theatrical ambition with the regional premiere of The Nance. After hit productions of Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed and As Bees in Honey Drown, NCTC bring his latest and “finest” (Time Out NY), what The New York Times calls “a heartfelt new play set in the twilight of burlesque.” This “bold, brave play” (Backstage) – which debuted at Lincoln Center Theater on Broadway in 2013 – recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque's heyday and tells the backstage story of headliner Chauncey Miles, who plays “the nance,” a flamboyantly effeminate stock character – usually played by a straight man. Set amid Mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s crackdown on burlesque before the 1939 World’s Fair, a time when it was easy to play gay yet dangerous to be gay, Chauncey's uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life. The Nance marks the return of P.A. Cooley, who will star as Chauncey. Cooley starred in several acclaimed productions with NCTC, including a celebrated star turn in Terrence McNally’s Love! Valour! Compassion!, Theater District by Richard Kramer, and the west coast premiere of McNally’s Some Men.

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. a tpIssue 5,l Springa 2000 y Diana Son’s STOP KISS had its New York premiere at the Joseph Papp Public Theater where it extended three times, making it the longest running play at the Public under the George C. Wolfe administration. The play earned nominations for both the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama League Award, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. In this poignant and funny play, two young women slowly discover that they might be falling in love. When their tentative first kiss pro- vokes an act of violence, their lives are transformed in ways they couldn’t have pre- dicted. Our director of professional rights, Robert Vaughan, had a phone conversa- tion with Diana Son about how her own life has been transformed since the success of STOP KISS. RV: This is going to be fun. DS: Yeah. We’re putting you on the cover. There’s a picture of you sitting on a ledge at the Public Theater. You’re kidding. My hair is twelve inches longer than that now. Is it really? Well, not that much longer. It’s kind of grown out. But I’m a playwright—when else would I get my picture taken? Exactly. So, did you know you’re a complete mystery? Really? Everybody I’ve dealt with on STOP KISS so far has the most interesting questions about you. Should we keep you a mystery, or should we tell them about you? It’s so tempting … I wonder which we should do? I’ll give you an example, but I shouldn’t name names.
