IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE READER USE 2-PAGE VIEW (BOOK FORMAT WITH SCROLLING ENABLED) IN ACROBAT READER OR BROWSER. “EVEN’ING IT OUT – A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” Television Series (minus ‘THE’)” A Study in Three Parts by Andrew Ramage © 2019, The Twilight Zone Museum. All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

A NOTE from the PLAYWRIGHT For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is preparation. -Rainer Maria Rilke The longest journey is the journey inwards. -Dag Hammarskjold My given name is Sharon Schlaerth (shlarth). In the delivery room, the nurse scolded my mother, “You can’t name a child Sharon Schlaerth.” My mom laughed and said, “She’ll be married by the time she’s eighteen.” That didn’t happen. Born of the ’60s, a feminist, I didn’t need a man to make me whole. I’ve always been fascinated by what goes on between men and women. The misunderstandings, the cruelties - often not meant but deeply felt, the kindnesses rebuffed, ignored, or magnified, the overwhelming desire to be seen, accepted, and loved by a creature so unlike oneself.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Belasco Theater (originally Belasco's Stuyvesant) was built in 1906-07 as the ideal playhouse of David Belasco. Actor, dramatist, manager and director , he was one of the most important personalities in the history of American stage. Belasco was a pioneer in the development of the American 1 itt le theater movement where dramatic experience depended on close contact between actors and audience. He conceived of his house as a "living room" and consciously attempted its domestication with a facade in the neo-Georgian style. Home of all Belasco's theatrical operations (and after 1909 his personal home as well), it was executed by some of the finest talents of the day.
